NHS to set up profit making branches abroad
NHS hospitals in London are to be encouraged by the government to sell their services abroad to raise money for patients in the capital.
Great Ormond Street and the Royal Marsden are among those to be invited to set up branches overseas.
But opponents say the only focus of an NHS hospital should be to treat patients on the NHS.
Our Health Correspondent Liz Wickham has the details.

As a young girl, Janet Whitehead watched with her father the film Mutiny on the Bounty, an experience that fostered a lifelong fascination with tall ships.
Years later, a tall ship has sailed out of the heart of a fellow artist, propelled by winds of compassion, community and hope.
Whitehead is a well-known Kamloops artist and instructor who has helped many other artists — she calls them "muses" — find their creative inspiration. In March, she was diagnosed with a rare form of breast cancer and, with her creative coaching enterprise sidelined out of necessity, continues to undergo chemotherapy to prevent recurrence.
"Right now, I'm feel I'm improving and getting more energy," Whitehead said on Monday. She faces another five years of therapy, but "the treatment from here on isn't as debilitating."
Friends held an art-auction fundraiser in September at The Art We Are to lend financial support. Cindy Hayden, another of the muses, decided to add a fundraiser to her stained-glass show opening this Friday at Wilson House Gallery.
The show is called Rebuilding. The name is a reference to Hayden's current practice of recycling vintage wooden doors, filling their windows with glasswork, but it serves equally well as a metaphor for Whitehead's journey back to health.
"Normally we would keep something like this very quiet," Whitehead said, assuming the collective identity of a coach. "We seem to try to do things on our own when they're difficult."
Rather than keep it to herself, Whitehead was encouraged through her integrated cancer-care program, InspireHealth, to reach out for her own sake. She's been writing a blog account and keeping friends posted through a Facebook page. She's also authoring a book on the journey. All of it has to do with overcoming the stigma and fear surrounding cancer.
"It's been kind of wonderful, learning how to be open," she said. "People are constantly lifting my spirits. It's like a whole community of muses."
Knowing the coach's fondness for tall ships, Hayden is holding a silent auction of a stained-glass window depicting one at sea, its sails billowing in the wind. Over coffee at Hayden's house Monday morning, Whitehead shared the source of her tall-ship inspiration, hearkening back to childhood and other influences.
"When I paint them, quite often they have a context and a spirit to them."
The chemo triggered allergic reactions. She imagines herself as a tall ship to gain control of her reaction, summoning the power of the mind-body connection. Visualization is also a recognized tool of the creative process.
"There's a really interesting process around healing and realizing what I need," she said. "I really believe in visualization."
The cause of the reactions, her doctor informed her, is "mast cells," a type of immune cell. When she'd managed to gain control of her reactions, she was able to finish the treatment.
InspireHealth has lived up to its name and she encourages other people to consider the approach.
"I'm hoping people who aren't aware will go have a look because it may be a good support system for them. There is so much to learn. It's really important to put together a team."
Whitehead recalled a trip she made in 2011 with her four-year-old niece, sailing aboard the tall ship Lady Washington. Leaving her young charge in a schoolteacher's care, she took up the crew's invitation to climb a mast to the lookout.
"It was absolutely a feeling like you were home," she recalled.
When her health improves, she intends to charter the vessel with a like-minded group for a two-week voyage.
The reception includes a fundraising bake sale and gift baskets for sale. Hayden is impressed with the generosity shown by the community as a whole.
"It's uplifting for me as well because I say, 'What a great place to live,' " she said.
The opening takes place from 6 to 8 p.m. at the gallery, 115 Tranquille Rd. The show continues until Dec. 19.

I do understand, we lost our Bobby the same way. One day he was playing with our granddaughter and that evening he had dinner (ate slow) got sick about 3 hours later. I went to bed and my DH woke me and said he thought Bobby was dead, he was still alive but a very sick dog. I took him to the ER and after many test he was DX with hemangiosarcoma. We let him go that News Years Eve and as you said I thought I did something wrong. You didn't do anything wrong except love Red.
I am so sorry, Peace Be With You!
I am so sorry for your loss of your dear boy Red. I lost my beloved Rhett to hemangio just over 4 months ago. You will be in our prayers that you can find peace and comfort in this difficult time that you're going through right now.
Run free and play hard dear Red, my beloved Rhett and many other of the Golden friends are waiting for you at the Bridge.

I am so very sorry. I am sorry you had to come to this forum under such sad circumstances.
I lost my golden girl, KayCee, at 8 yrs 9 months to a differenct kind of cancer, a gastroinstestional stromal tumor. She was fine one day, playing with her best friend, our adopted godlen girl, Honey. The next morning she didn't want breakfast and threw up. I took her to the vet--twice she had cuaght in bug and got dehydrated, so if she ever threw up, I took her straight in.
Turns out he could feel that tumor in her somache--he operated, but was surprised she made it thru the surgery. She died as I held her in ICU 48 hours later. I felt so guilty becaue she laid on her back next to me at night and I gave her tummy rubs all the time and I had not felt that tumor. He said if you didn't know what to look for, you wouldn't find it, that he wished all his clints were as carfeful and took care of their dogs the way i do. So I know all to well that these things happened and there is no way we could know or prevent them.
As for getting another, I hve always been one who could not go long long at all without a dog. It is like a big chunk of my life is missing, or a something, if I do not have a dog. It makes me sick to think that Honey will probably be my last dog as I have a lot of health problems and am 67 and I do not not wish to leave a dog for someone to find a home for.. Some people can not even think about another dog for months, or even years, many are "ready" to fill the void as soon as possible. And you are right---no dog EVER REPLACES another. Your heart just grows to allow as much love for the new dogs as for the one you lost.
Your boy was such a beautiful boy, or perhaps I should say handsome. My he find my many dogs already at the Bridge waiting on me. They will be happy to show him around. It is a mixture of English ssetters (lost my first one back in '56), Irish Setters and golden retrieves.
Goldens bring light into the world.

I am so sorry for your loss of Red, he was a beautiful boy. Try not to be so hard on yourself or second guess what you did or could have done.
I lost my boy in Feb. 2011 at the age of 15.5, he had a very good life and a long one. We were blessed with the time we had with him.
You can never replace your boy, he was very special and unique, but you can choose to love another Golden and fill your life with much needed joy. After I lost my boy in Feb., I adopted a young male in March, he has brought joy and love back into our lives.
I hope your pain will ease with time, you will be able to find peace, and choose to love another Golden again.
Godspeed Red

I'm so sorry. I lost my Bear to hemangio just over 5 months ago.
I did get a puppy shortly after I lost Bear, but I was planning on it even before she died. I knew she had hemangio and only had a short time left, I'd been thinking about getting a puppy before she was diagnosed and her diagnosis actually pushed me into moving forward with that decision.
To me it's not a replacement, as you can't replace something you love. It's just loving something new. I also did it to help my 12 year old lab, knowing he'd be lonely without Bear. I love the new girl with all of my heart, but she's not Bear and I don't expect her to be Bear, she's Kenzie and deserves to be loved as Kenzie.

We loved them so much, that's why it is very hard to lose them. Your boy was beautiful, still young and losing him so sudden make the loss even worse. Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I also want to add, please don't feel guilty. Hemangio is a silent cancer. Most people never know their dog has it until the end.
I had 2 months with Bear after her diagnosis.
She didn't eat breakfast one morning and seemed lethargic, that's why I took her to the vet that same day. She never showed any symptoms before that day. I left a few hours later with the diagnosis. Once they have it, it's already too late. There are some lucky owners who get some time, even my 2 months was longer than many get.

There might still be a lot of playoffs games left yet for these 2012 Boston Celtics, or there might only be one. Either way, the team faces some incredibly huge decisions in the next couple of months. This team could look very much like it does now next season. It could also look almost completely different. Here I am going to explore how this famously ancient team of creaky veterans could become one of the youngest in the league, in three reasonably plausible steps.
Three plausible steps that could result in the aging Celtics becoming one of the youngest teams around:
1) KG decides to retire OR signs somewhere else in the off-season. This is the least likely and hardest to imagine of the three steps, but it is nonetheless plausible. If the Celtics can't at least make the Finals this season, considering all of the injuries to the Celtics' biggest rivals in the Eastern Conference, when will the team have a better chance while KG is still able to play?
It wouldn't altogether shock me if KG chose to hang it up, or maybe give it one last shot somewhere else (like Dallas). It's possible the parting might be mutual -- if the team sputters despite having a relatively easy road to the Finals, Danny might look to rebuild.
Ray Allen would almost certainly leave in this scenario, as well.
2) If KG leaves, the Cs will be in rebuild-on-the-fly mode. Does Pierce have a place on a rebuilding team, at this point in his career? Not really, unless you want to pay him $15 million to be the veteran leader of an 8th seed. Though everybody involved probably wishes Pierce be a Celtic for life, it may not be practical. After all, Pierce can always re-sign with the Celtics when he's really done and retire in green. Until then, he might be a lot happier playing for higher stakes on a different team. From the Celtics perspective, the rebuilding effort could get a quick jumpstart if the Cs could get a pick in the mid to late lottery of this year's deep, deep draft in return for Pierce.
Here's an idea for such a deal:
Pierce + Bass (sign and trade) + pick #21
Wes Matthews + Portland's pick #11
That pick could then turn into a high-potential guy who has fallen a bit -- like Jared Sullinger. Take a guy like Tony Wroten at #22 and an athletic wing in the second round (e.g. Kris Joseph), and we're off and running (literally).
3) Using the Celtics' prodigious cap space, they sign a young back-up point guard whose stock is down from playing on a terrible team (D.J. Augustin), a tall, long, athletic young big man who has the tools to thrive playing next to a guy like Rondo (Jason Thompson) and bring back a slew of familiar faces (Jeff Green, Greg Stiemsma, Pietrus, Wilcox, Hollins).
What does all of that leave us with? One of the youngest rosters in the league, with some considerable room for growth, and plenty of depth (a.k.a. weapons for Rondo).
Rondo / Augustin / Moore
Bradley / Wroten / Pietrus
Green / Matthews / Joseph
Sullinger / Johnson / Wilcox
Thompson / Stiemsma / Hollins
Not a championship contender, but I'd be excited to watch that team. Sky's the limit.

If you're planning on celebrating Nevada Day, be sure to do so safely.
Local law enforcement is increasing patrols and setting up checkpoints in an effort prevent drunk driving.
"Don't leave your family there wondering where you're at, don't leave your loved ones wondering why you did the things your did," says Sparks Sgt. Jeanmarie Walsh.
The Sparks Police Department, Nevada Highway Patrol and Washoe County Sheriff's Office are all teaming up to look for drunk drivers Friday through next weekend.
Along with being dangerous, police say getting a DUI can also cost you thousands of dollars.
It's much cheaper -- and safer -- to simply take a cab or have a designated driver.

Nearly a year after a boater vanishes off the North Carolina coast, detectives in the Outer Banks are still trying to solve the mystery.
51-year-old Jeffrey McCusker disappeared in January. Investigators found his car and an empty boat trailer at the Wanchese boat ramp in Dare County.
McCusker and his boat were nowhere to be found and no one reported seeing him at the boat ramp.
Detectives say they aren't giving up hope.
"Locating anything in the ocean or the sound of course becomes harder overtime so it becomes extremely difficult to solve these types of cases when they just up and become missing. But, of course, we want to do everything we can for the family. The family's lost a son and a brother that they don't know what happened to either," said Lt. Kevin Duprey with the Dare County Sheriff's Office.
Anyone who may live or vacation in the area, or might have seen McCusker, should contact the Dare County Sheriff's Office.

The film debuted at the Venice Film Festival Sept. 1, and received its U.S. debut as part of the New York Film Festival later that month. It is being screened in limited release in New York and Los Angeles beginning Dec. 16. Additional nationwide dates will follow.
Reza (Art, Life (x) 3) and director Roman Polanski collaborated on the film, which is set in Park Slope, Brooklyn, but was filmed in Paris. God of Carnage centers on two sets of upper-middle class parents who attempt and fail to resolve a playground dispute between their children. A discussion over coffee and clafoutis turns into an animalistic battle of the sexes.
The cast features Reilly as Michael, Foster as his wife Penelope, Winslet as Nancy and Waltz as her husband, Alan. In the stage production, the characters of Penelope and Nancy were originally Veronica and Annette, respectively.
The original Broadway cast included Marcia Gay Harden, James Gandolfini, Jeff Daniels and Hope Davis. The Broadway production was directed by Matthew Warchus, who earned a Tony for his work. The dramatic comedy also took the Tony Award for Best Play. All four original Broadway cast members received Tony nominations, with Harden taking home the honor.
The Broadway production closed June 6, 2010, after 452 regular performances and 24 previews. The original Broadway cast reassembled this past spring for an encore engagement at the Center Theatre Group in Los Angeles.
Here's a look at the trailer for the film:

FueraDentro Shell Sofa Sofa, SHELL Collection
Contemporary retro design garden lounge sofa
Part of the Shell collection, a very comfortable outdoor furniture range designed by Dutch designer Jan des Bouvrie, these sofas have a retro style, reminiscent of mid 20th century styles. The handwoven rounded seating elements gives a sense of shelter and comfort. The Shell Sofa is often combined with the Shell Easy Chair and Shell Salon table or a Shell Side table.
The Shell Collection is available in the colors black, white and cendre, and the high grade stainless steel frames come as standard with an electro polished finish. This not only gives the steel a brilliant shine but also make it even more resilient to even the harshest of marine environments. The Batyline fiber is mold resistant and UV resistant. This combination of materials makes the Shell collection ideal for outdoor use on the terrace or next to the pool. For extra comfort cushions are available in a range of different colors, allowing the user to further personalize the furniture.
Stainless Steel:

For the 3D view you need the Flash plugin, which you don't seem to have installed.

Stainless steel is commonly known as rust-free steel (RFS) or Inox. This is a ferrous alloy that increases the corrosion resistance of a substance by the addition of chrome and nickel. The principle is based on protecting the surface area by means of chrome-oxide and nickel-oxide molecules. These molecules are much larger than the underlying iron molecules, which prevents the latter from... More

Today we will be releasing our highly anticipated TF2 Items Hack Generator.
Nowadays online games are offering ways to customize your character or player
with special clothing items that can only be purchased with real money.
I believe this method is working because people want to be able to represent
themselves with their character.
For example, if a player has a lot of the
rare hats with Unusual particles, then you would know that player
has a lot of money.
Humans were born to show off. Since the internet provides anonymity,
people can show off even more without having their bad identity revealed.
Our TF2 Item Hack will definably change how this game will be played.
Some players just can't afford to buy new games to get new hats,
this is their solution.

VICTIM: "Lion" Gray Tabby short haired domestic, approximately 5 years old
A citizen was walking his dog Monday morning when he discovered the partial remains of a mutilated cat inside the Plymouth Park. He realized the body belonged to his neighbor's cat named "Lion" and immediately notified police. The partial remains consisted of only the front half of the cat, which showed no signs of decomposition. Tampa Police officers arrived on scene and determined Lion was killed at another location and recently dumped in the park. They conducted a neighborhood survey and combed the park, however they were unable to generate leads that would identify Lion's attacker(s). Hillsborough County Animal Services collected the remains and conducted a preliminary veterinary examination. The exam results suggests that the cat was either stabbed or shot prior to being cut in half with a very sharp object.
This morning, May 28, 2013, one of the Park and Recreations employees who assisted officers the day before discovered Lion's hind legs near the park's basketball court. The two legs showed no signs of decomposition. It is believed that the legs were placed in the park before 9:20 a.m. today.
Tampa Police officers are asking for the public's help in tracking down Lion's attacker(s).

What is the right long run training pace?
This is the question I kept asking myself for 20 miles today. This is been a pretty good week for me. It was my 2nd 50+ mile week and I felt really good. When I feel good…I push the pace. Today was no exception. The temperature was in mid 30's so by all means spring weather in Wisconsin. That by itself is enough to get you all pumped up about running. Also, I forgot to take my basal insulin today so that little extra glucose in blood might have helped.
Now, back to the question of what is the right pace, or maybe I should say when is the training pace is too fast?
Looking back at the last 4 days I ran 46 miles. For me, that's a lot. I ran 10 miles followed by tempo run the next day, then I ran 10 miles slightly faster than my marathon pace. I topped all that with fairly fast 20 miles (15 sec over my marathon pace)
This goes against the preachings of proper marathon training. I should have taken a day off after tempo run, run 10 miles at comfortable pace and run 20 miles 30-90 sec slower than marathon pace….I did none of those.
So here are my thoughts:
1) I know that low mileage week is coming up so I figured I can push myself this week and rest the next week. Also, I cut out most of my speed work so that gives me bit of a buffer.
2) People always talk about training at pace slower 'x' seconds than your 'BLANK' distance pace . Well, you pick the pace but think about maybe improving so that your 'BLANK' pace is faster and will make your training pace faster.
3) Everyone is different but I think everyone should push themselves for a week or two but then rest/recover (e.g taking it easy). No rest and you will get injured for sure
4) Listen to your body. When it says go…you go. When it says stop…you stop. When it's on the edge…you proceed with caution
5) Ice packs are good for you…

Over on the ESPN NFCW blog, as janky as that place is, Mike Sando does in fact do a stellar job blogging for our division. He is very hands on, very well-reasoned, very thorough, and maximizes his press access in order to gain interviews and insights on all of our divisional teams. He also does a weekly podcast with other ESPN bloggers. The link to this weeks podcast is after the jump.
Today, he rolled out his admittedly premature NFL MVP candidates. He puts Alex Smith at #7.
You can find his blog post over at ESPN, but I am going to link to his podcast audio because it is there where he really delves into his understanding of our offense, our team, and of Alex Smith. He uses insightful quotes from Greg Roman to facilitate the discussion.
The discussion starts at around 25 minutes in, so feel free to jump ahead. The early part is some discussion on our 49ers regarding the power rankings, and some discussion about egregious refereeing. I thought Sando did a good job of highlighting how and why Alex is doing very well at this point. Take a listen...
PS: Fanpost? Fanshot? I'm confused by which I should use for what. Originally I would have liked to just post the link to the audio along with a short blurb. But I get turned around with word requirements and audio/video linkage. If this is in the wrong place, or if I've used this feature incorrectly, or if I could have utilized the feature better, please let me know. Thanks NN.

It was not what Brent Olsen expected to see when he woke up at his home in Westford Sunday morning -- a bull moose with a hoof on his car. "I had run out in my shorts from the morning and I started hollering at it. 'Do not jump on my car Mr. Moose.,'" Olsen recalled.After chasing it away from his vehicle, Olsen was intrigued by the up-close encounter with the moose. He grabbed his camcorder as it walked around his yard. "A moose with ivy in its horns. I thought it was kind of cute," he said.But the moose's behavior quickly became anything but cute. "It scared the crap out of me," Olsen said.He ran for safety inside his home, leaving the camcorder outside. Apparently the moose wanted to go inside the home too. "My roommate had gone in to his bedroom and had his .32 special rifle out and he said he was going to defend the house. He was going to shoot it if it was coming in the house," Olsen said.As Olsen and his roommate waited nearly an hour for the state game warden to arrive, He says the moose rammed the house four more times. "It was very nerve racking, hoping this thing was going to behave itself until the game wardens gets here," he said."I have never seen a moose act like that," said Vt. Fish & Wildlife Lt. Curtis Smiley.After observing it for a period of time, a state game warden killed the moose, saying it exhibited signs of brain worm. The parasite causes odd behavior, like walking in tight circles. It can also make the animals off balance and cause their heads to tilt. Wardens say approaching wild animals is never a good idea. "We recommend people keep a safe distance from any wildlife no matter what size it is. All wildlife can be dangerous, whether it is big or small," Lt. Smiley said."Very sad to see a beautiful healthy animal suffer from something like this," Olsen said.A lesson that was up close and personal for the Westford resident.

I guess if you're a Chicago Cubs fan, you'll look for any reason to be excited about the team's 103rd rebuilding effort in the last 104 years, so it comes as little surprise that one North Sider is pretty proud of himself after pulling one over on the Boston Red Sox. Cubs fan Eric Engelman (above) is getting some love on the webs this week for a moral victory of sorts after he purchased the web domain JetBluePark.com for $8.
Jet Blue Park is the new $80 million home of the Boston Red Sox Spring Training in Florida, and on a whim, Engelman looked up the aforementioned domain last year and was quite surprised that it was available. So he purchased it and, according to his personal website, what happened next was just pure LULZ…
So, Last year, I purchased my first web domain. The Boston Red Sox are building a new stadium here in Fort Myers, FL and when they announced that JetBlue was getting naming rights to the building I looked online and saw the name was available. The best part? Check out where I have it forwarded to! I don't even like the American League (see that picture above?), so I just think it's funny.
And he linked it to the New York Yankees website.
People are making a big deal out of this – some sites are even calling him a cyber prankster and a genius troll – but I'm a little underwhelmed, to be honest. Granted, one of my other 6 jobs is in web real estate, so I see stuff like this all the time and it's just business as usual for me. But linking it to the New York Yankees' home page? Big deal.
Give me something I can really laugh at, like linking it to this GIF…
I want more like this!

On the surface, just the name Shaken-Baby Syndrome carries a heavy tone of guilt, but as jurors learned that weighing the physical evidence isn't as cut and dry as it might seem.
On Tuesday at the Hockley County courthouse it was a day of testimony from the grave and dead men do tell tales. Forensic Anthropologist, Dr. Robert Paine, has helped authorities solve crimes years after they've occured, often with nothing more than skeletal remains. "We're here to speak for the dead, to tell their story." says Paine.
Since 1985, Matthew Sharp's story has remained confined to the children's section of the cemetery, but 17 years later authorities thought that Matthew had more to say about how he died. Earlier this year his body was exhumed and re-examined, but what could medical examiners possibly find after almost 20 years in the grave?
Both the first and second autopsy revealed blunt-force trauma, but what exactly does that mean? According to Dr. Paine, "In terms of Forensic Anthropology, it usually means a crushing blow to the bone, causing a depressed fracture, and that depressed fracture has a particular pattern to it, it might have radiating fractures that come out of it, and it's usually pretty obvious." But in the case of Matthew Sharp, evidence of skeletal trauma is absent.
Instead, medical examiners talk about soft tissue damage, and trauma that caused severe bruising on the head. Injuries that are consistent with Shaken Baby Syndrome, but perhaps not severe enough to eliminate reasonable doubt from the minds of jurors.
On Wednesday, Robert Sharp is expected to tell his version of the events that led to the death of his child, and given the nature of Shaken-Baby Syndrome, legal experts say that Robert Sharp's testimony will be closely watched by jurors as they tilt on the cusp of innocence or guilt

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - The 4th on Broadway festival is becoming more eco-friendly this year with the addition of recycling. Folks who've come down to the party in the past know there's a lot of trash that comes with it, food containers, cups, and more. The goal this year is to keep part of that trash from going to the landfill.
"We are so excited; we were part of the 4th on Broadway last year. We were in the parade, and we went to the street fair afterwards, and that's what sort of spurred this idea was we just saw all the trash overflowing out of the bins, and we recognized how much of that was actually recyclable," Holly Rand said.
Rand and Heather Castagna head up Green Queens Curbside Recycling in Lubbock. They're a home grown effort that just started a little more than a year ago.
Now, they're partnering with 4th on Broadway to offer recycling for plastic, aluminum, cardboard, and glass at the three cantinas and street fair dance. They say it's a conservative effort this year, but they hope to grow recycling at the fair in the coming years.
"There are other opportunities for us to continue to grow that relationship and have a larger impact on what's were going to do at the festival, but this year we're going to start small, which is difficult for us, because when we go, we go big," Castagna said.
Last year, 4th on Broadway generated almost five tons of trash, so the Green Queens estimate that this year they'll be able to keep hundreds of pounds of that out of the landfill.
The Green Queens organization is also partnering with one South Plains' community to help keep recyclables from ending up in the landfill. They just recently entered into an agreement to provide services for folks in Levelland.
"I think it speaks volumes about a municipality partnering up with a private business entity to provide a service that the citizens want," Castagna said.
The Green Queens plan to be at the Early Settlers parade and fair next weekend to help folks sign up. Of course, what's good about recycling is that it keeps items that can be reused out of our area landfills.
Levelland opened a drop-off recycling center about a year ago. They thought they's get about 10-tons of recyclables a year, but they ended up collecting more than 32-tons.

CDCR tried their hardest to deceive the public by defaming our peaceful movement. They labeled us and attacked our character as a collective. Our peaceful protests have nothing to do with furthering "gangs" or "prison politics," which CDCR loosely reported. They have ALL to do with amplifying our voices to let the world know that the bodies this nation holds captive in its isolation chambers are human beings too.

For the past two years we've heard the state claim it's reforming its long term segregation policies and practices by implementing a Security Threat Group (STG) Step Down Program (SDP). Officials claim the program is a significant move towards a more behavior-based system, yet they remain extraordinarily vague about the "ultimate conclusion." What exactly is "gang activity"?

Abortion protest has little effect outside Brighton clinic
2:40pm Friday 21st September 2012 in News By Neil Vowles
Protesters outside an abortion clinic are not deterring women from using the service but forcing them to put off treatment until later, according to new claims.
The British Pregnancy Advisory Service (Bpas), a charity which offers advice to pregnant women, claims that two years of protests carried outside their Wistons Clinic in Dyke Road, Brighton, has not caused their client numbers to drop but has put women off coming to the clinic until later into their term.
Figures released by Bpas show that the number of clients using the clinic has increased by 5% between 2009 and 2011.
However, the number of clients getting an abortion between 10 and 12 weeks increased by nearly 30% between 2009 and 2011 while women seeking an abortion past 13 weeks has increased by a third.
A Bpas spokeswoman said women seeking treatment after nine weeks are unable to access an early medical abortion, which many women prefer as it can be performed without anaesthetic.
Abortions carried out later in gestation are a more complex procedure.
Earlier this week Abort67 campaigner Andrew Stephenson was cleared of public order offences for unveiling a graphic poster close to the clinic last year.
The case seems unlikely to stop campaigners from both sides of the issue from continuing to protest over the issue with Mr Stephenson vowing to return in the next few weeks.
Brighton Pro-Choice is continuing to hold weekly meetings in the city discussing tactics to oppose Abort67 and released a statement earlier this week saying this week's verdict changed nothing.
'Causing distress'
Clare Murphy, Bpas spokeswoman, said: "We are very supportive of people's right to freedom of speech.
"However, what takes place on a regular basis outside our clinic is not about debate or changing public opinion, it is simply about causing distress to individual women on what may already be a difficult day.
"We know there are some women who simply feel unable to make their way past the line of protesters on the days they are there.
"These women do not decide against abortion, they simply come back at a later date for treatment at a later gestation."
Mr Stephenson said: "We are outside the clinic just two mornings of the week.
"Is Bpas suggesting women are too unintelligent to come back another day or go to another clinic?
"No woman can give informed consent until she has seen what abortion looks like.
"Bpas are trying to make us go away and their desperate attempts to shame us by falsely reporting about who we are and what they do is a sign we are winning."

No, they're suggesting that your campaign is a ridiculous and intrusive attempt to enforce your beliefs upon people who are already in a huge amount of distress.
A woman is perfectly capable of giving informed consent regardless of whether she has seen the procedure; by that logic you should show everyone who wants an appendectomy, vasectomy etc. a video of the respective procedure and then ask them if they want it. Utterly ridiculous.

What would their view be if Hitler could have been aborted (wasn't that a film or something?)
Bloody do gooders, sick of them all. Go and preach your misguided vitriol elswhere please and leave these girls and women alone.

Just think what number of positive things they could be doing with their time. Maybe helping children and people who have already been born. No, I forgot, once it's not a foetus and actually a human they couldn't care less.
Weird freaks, the lot of them.

You've got one of them who posts on here who's previously given an interview on tv stating how the government are using mind control against him - I kid you not and this is the link:
This shows the level of 'person' we're dealing with here in the anti abortion camp! Like I say they'd be comical if they weren't out harassing women.

a person says...
This usually happens before 12 weeks.
So that the protesters know this is like a really heavy unpleasant period ,
but something that can just happen to a women who is pregnant.
So it should make sense for all women to have a termination before 12 weeks if possible.
These protesters are trying to interfere in a cruel and inhuman way .
In something that is not their business.

So, Abort 67 is not against abortion generally, just against women who want early term abortions on those two particular mornings at that particular clinic, then? Why do they not have a problem with all the OTHER abortions?
Come on, Argus, lets get these people (in the wider sense of the word) to go on record in your paper and explain this.

These protesters are scum. If they don't like abortion then they shouldn't have one. What anyone else wants to do with their own body is up to them.

Looking for a Home Theater Solution
Okay, I come to you all for help.
I'm in need of a home theater setup for my room. I'm on a college student budget, so not looking to spend a crazy amount, but I'll listen to all solutions and see what fits my budget. Just don't throw $1000+ things at me, cause it's just not gonna work.
So my setup includes:
A 60inch Vizio LED TV
Apple TV 1080p
Xbox 360S
Verizon FIOS DVR Box
and soon an Xbox One. I've added a picture for fun and reference.
So I'd like to get a 5.1 system. I don't need blu ray or smart receiver because I have enough stuff that does that crap. I just want something that I can hook up all my devices to, in order for all the sound to come out of the surround sound system. Now I figured since everything is hooked up to my TV, I would just need to find a system that has a optical digital audio port and connect the two? I don't know much, so that is what I thought would work. Let me know!
I do not need a state of the art crazy banging system as I live in an attic, but I do not want a soundbar. I think they're too large, and don't have space for that, while as speakers can be mounted on the walls.
I'd like to get a system with some sort of known brand, such as Sony or Samsung.
Suggestions? Give me some knowledge people.

RecLife is Serious Fun!
All the Rage!
SAGU offered seven sports during 2010-2011
WAXAHACHIE, Texas -- One of the most popular campus activities nationwide are intramural sports. A myriad of games, events and competitions draw in hundreds and thousands of students and spectators. Southwestern Assemblies is no different.
In fact, this past school year saw the menu of sports increase from four to seven; flag football, beach volleyball league, basketball, cross country, sand volleyball tournament, softball and indoor soccer. Teams were formed within dorms as well as faculty and staff members. Each club was captained by a player-coach and was comprised primarily of males.
This fall should see an expanded list of options for recreation. The SAGU Intramural logo includes two words that summarize why most everyone joins. The words: Serious Fun. Many hook up with a team to satisfy their competitive spirits, taking their games seriously. Others are out for wholesome fun without fretting over such things as winning or losing.
Flag Football had seven squads and, along with four co-ed softball teams, held their contests on the intramural field behind the Sheaffer Full Life Center. Beach volleyball had 4-on-4 clubs scheduled for both the fall and the spring. For the second year in a row, SAGU's kings of the beach played the top team from Christ For the Nations Institute in a post-season challenge.
Basketball, normally limited to six teams, grew from 10 to 11 teams during the past two winters. The regular season contests are staged in the historic Claxton gym, with the playoffs spotlighted in the FLC, where each game was announced over the sound system.
Indoor Soccer was a highly competitive, 4-team co-ed circuit. Their schedule was played in the Garrison Wellness Center.
Cross Country was an experimental venture that saw very limited success. Four campus courses ranged from a mile per lap to 1.5 miles. Look for this sport for individuals to begin in the fall, with students and staff welcome to run for fun, fitness or against the clock. It will move from a 4:00pm start, which limited many participants, likely to 5:30 or 6pm.
Most intramural leagues were officiated by SAGU varsity athletes.
Mark "Link" Warde, Southwestern's Sports Information Director, also directs SAGU Intramurals. Reach him by e-mail or phone with questions or ideas. A key leader in the intramural program was Stacy Jones, a work-study in Sports Communications.
New fall Intramural sports
Sports expected to join the line-up in the fall include Home Run Derby, a softball spin-off in the style of Major League Baseball, as well as a Racquetball League and Cross Country.
Information on each sport or event is posted on the Friday Lion Pride e-mail as well as printed flyers that are distributed seasonally in campus mail boxes.
Highlights from the past year of intramural action:
Incredibles stun Fabulous Has Beens in Hoops Final
The team that ran away with the regular season, the Fabulous Has Beens, led by Gerren Hamilton, Jacob Rodriguez, Aaron DeLoach, Sean Daniel, Anthony Saincilaire and Jimmie Williams, rolled to big wins weekly. They were hot as grits on the griddle. Hamilton once scored 60 in a game on twenty 3-pointers. Unbeaten, they tasted defeat in the playoffs, losing to Ike Caston's Incredibles. Team Ink won, 72-70, on a huge three-pointer with less than two seconds to go by D.J. Johnson.
Earlier in the season the Has Beens crushed the Incredibles, 94-38.
Two of the biggest moments during the regular season were buzzer-beating shots that won games. The first was a 3-ball from the right wing by Scott Dickenson, giving the Fighting Wombats a 45-41 triumph over Hard in the Paint. Then, capping a scintillating comeback, Mo Oglesby knocked down a fade-away trey just as the horn sounded for a 72-71
Pistols victory over the Mambas.
Other roundball clubs were Hard in the Paint (Peter Akorikin), the Pistons (Justin Bozarth ), the Staff Infection (John Cookman), the Fighting Wombats (Corey Gibson), the Caucasian Invasion (Ryan Wilson), the Black Mambas (Rodney Williams), Pink Bizmuth (Randall Wilbur) and the fan favorites, the Lion-Trotters (Alex Moore).
Trotters rise to the occasion in softball final
Alex Moore and his colorful and crazed team, the Lion-Trotters, were the surprise in the softball league. They got hot in the playoffs where they beat Team Rogers (R. J. Martinez), 14-9, in the title game. The Trotters scored seven runs in the top of the fourth inning for an 11-5 lead they never lost. Both teams finished with just one loss.
Rogers won the regular season, though the most talented team was most likely the Smokin' Aces (Patrick Smith). The Rangers (Rachel Harris) were made up largely of the Lady Lions basketball team. They got hot late, while the Goonies (Breck Maxey) and Softees (Ryan Wilson) never warmed up!
Los Desperados were numero uno in football
The six-team flag football league was won by a team that went wire-to-wire, unbeaten. Los Desperados, led by Ryan Wilson, bested the Yummy Bears (coach Cass Sellers) in the championship. Other teams who contended for the crown included Bridges Balla's (Greg Hammond), Texiana Tigerhorns (Weston Weaver) and the G-Palace Boys (Chase Trimmier).
Getting an A+ on the Beach
Ryan Wilson, fresh from claiming the title bone in flag football, had his beach volleyball unit win it all. The A-Team rolled impressively to earn their 'champions' T-shirts (given to the winners in each sport). Others who were covered in sand were the Savell Crickets (Steve Hernandez), That Team (Jonathan Lapinsky), the Crusaders (Richard Johnson) and the fluorescent-clad Just Leave Now (Brad Rogers).
Spring Beach Volleyball is a Big Hit
For the second consecutive spring, the SAGU Intramurals and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes joined forces for a 50's Beach Bash. With ten sand volleyball teams entering a tournament requiring team names from the fifties, the event also included a BBQ while Cade Leuschner played the role of outdoor DeeJay.
Maximilian wins Indoor Soccer in shootout
A league of four teams was very evenly matched. The Purple United (James Southerland) may have been the best, but seemed to lose weekly by one goal or in overtime. Mugabo Yves, from the SAGU Lions soccer team, directed most the games. The playoffs were spirited and testy as games went down to the wire.
Team Kickapoo (Tracy Griffin), named after the name of Bryan King's Missouri high school, were the odds on favorite, but lost a heartbreaker, 10-9 (2 OT) to the Staff Infection (Jeremiah Feicht) in the first round. Maximilian (Breck Maxey) slipped past Un-Purp, 4-3, on a Josh Freethy goal in the last minute.
The Infection rode that momentum into the finals versus Maximilian. Tied 3-3 after double overtime, goals by Jordan Brown and Freethy lifted Max to a 4-3 win that went to a shootout.

Even the most hopeful of White Sox fans must realize at this time that the 2013 White Sox are wiped out. Depending on whether you want to ask Baseball Prospectus or ESPN, the odds that this team makes the playoffs is either 0.1%....or 4 times that. Yep. It's over. We aren't rooting for a playoff berth, a pennant, or a World Series Championship. So what's to keep us from completely checking out? Well, to keep slogging through this season, we've got to find a silver lining. At times like these, we baseball fans need to look deep into our love of the game and recognize that bad baseball, albeit disheartening, is better than no baseball at all. There's still plenty of reasons to root root root for the White Sox, even as we're stuck in this painful quagmire of errors, baserunning blunders, squandered opportunities, and Jeff Keppinger. Here they are, starting with the most obvious.
1. The Trade Candidates
Despite the team's record, the next month of baseball for the White Sox is fairly important. Should all go according to plan, the White Sox are about to embark on the first major fire sale in recent memory, with Alex Rios, Jesse Crain, Jake Peavy, and Matt Thornton highlighting the trade block for the Pale Hose. For Crain and Peavy, there's a limited window in July to prove they're healthy and ready to perform at a high level for any potential suitors. Rios is coming off of a poor June in which he struck out three times more than he walked and only belted one home run. Scouts from other teams are checking in on Rios, and if his July looks a lot like June, he won't be nearly so appealing. There's plenty of reason for fans to have a vested interest in how all of these guys fare over the coming weeks as the trade deadline activity heats up.
Another stealth trade candidate emerged from the depths and is worth pulling for over the coming month: Adam Dunn. After a truly awful start, the much-maligned slugger is knocking on the door of replacement level (he'd be safely over it if not for defensive drawbacks), and another fine month could convince a contender needing DH help to bite if the Sox eat a good chunk of salary. The Orioles look like the only great fit for Dunn at the moment, but plenty could change in a few weeks.
All in all, rooting for players to boost their trade value doesn't seem as exciting as rooting for them to win meaningful games in 2013. Instead, try thinking of it as rooting for future wins. That's what we're trying to acquire, anyway.
2. Conor Gillaspie
Conor Gillaspie's refreshing adequacy at third base is a far cry from what the White Sox are used to in recent memory. With only 230 plate appearances under his belt in a White Sox uniform, it's still too early to tell whether he's a future long half of a platoon at third base, or Gonna Collapsie. The White Sox are a team that has recently struggled to produce cost-controlled hitters that can perform notably above replacement level. Gillaspie presents a chance for them to tread water at third base on the cheap when it comes time to spend money and compete again. That's an asset worth rooting for, and the second half of 2013 can help provide some indication of which direction he'll ultimately go.
3. New Faces, New Hopes
After the expected trade deadline exodus, the White Sox are going to have roster space to give a look to some new young players. Guys like Simon Castro and Charlie Leesman will likely get their chance to throw some big league innings, and we'll get our first look at what they might be able to bring to the future of the team. Josh Phegley is 25 years old and murdering Triple-A pitching (.316/.366/.588). It's time to find out whether his bat can hold its own in the big leagues. That's certainly more important to the future direction of this team than anything Hector Gimenez (63 OPS+, awful pitch framing) is doing. He should see some reps at DH, as there won't be any real reason to play both Paul Konerko and Adam Dunn every day (assuming they're both still here).
Perhaps the most exciting prospect on display during the last couple months of the year will be Erik Johnson. Johnson has pitched at 4 levels since the beginning of 2012 and doesn't own an ERA over 3.00 at any of them (including a small sample at Charlotte). Though his stuff is not overwhelming, he does have the ceiling of a #2 starter, and it'd be fantastic for the future of the White Sox to have a second cost-controlled pitcher fronting the rotation. Johnson has a chance to be the Robin to Chris Sale's Bat-...errrr....Condorman, and I for one can't wait to see how he fares against big league hitters.
4. Hawk Harrelson
No, I'm not referring to his entertainment value. My fan-broadcaster relationship with Hawk has been variable, to say the least, over the course of my life. I went from loving him as a kid, to loathing him once I learned a thing or three about advanced stats, to tolerating him and "appreciating him for what he is", to being worried about his job's impact on his well-being. His plight has been well-documented here, but to re-iterate, one only needs to read this or listen to this to understand just how pained this season has made him. The man has a long career in baseball, not to mention a family, but one gets the impression from listening to him that nothing is more important to him than whether the White Sox win on a particular day. And significantly more often than not, his hopes have been crushed in 2013.
Whatever your feelings on Ken Harrelson, he's a Chicago baseball icon. He's been a huge part (for better or for worse) of any White Sox fan's baseball experience for the past couple decades. It's truly excruciating to listen to him when things are going poorly, but now that the Sox are really out of it, my attitude has changed. It's become easier for fans to swallow losses now that they don't mean all that much, but each one still weighs heavily upon Hawk, and at his age, that can't be good for him. I genuinely want to see the White Sox play better, or at least more competently, in the second half of the year just to give the guy something to be happy about again.
These are trying times for White Sox fans, but there's no reason the 2013 season can't have some redeeming value before all is said and done, even if 2007 is the only comparably bad season in recent memory. This time around, however, we're not stuck watching organizational soldiers like Luis Terrero, Jerry Owens, Andy Gonzalez, and Ryan Bukvich play out the season. The next three months of White Sox baseball offer plenty of promise for the development and acquisition of pieces that could contribute significantly to the next competitive White Sox team. It isn't a pennant race, but as a White Sox fan, it's still something worth getting excited for.
