Despite having a laughing stock of an offense, the New York Mets could easily produce five quality starting pitchers for fantasy teams this season, even with the loss of Cy Young winner R.A. Dickey. Photo credit: MIKECNY Dillon Gee, a 26-year-old, started 17 games last year and was in the middle of a breakout season when a blood clot was discovered in his shoulder, leading to season-ending surgery. However, Gee reported to Spring Training "100 Percent," having experienced no setbacks, according to MetsBlog.com. Gee never was considered a top prospect in the Mets organization, but Baseball America awarded Gee the best changeup and best control of any pitcher in the Mets organization after the 2010 season, in which Gee debuted, to a 2.18 ERA but poor supporting stats. However, in Gee's first full season, 2011, he pitched 160.2 innings with a 4.43 ERA and a 6.39 K/9, which was almost two strikeouts per nine higher than his 2010 number. So, "meh," right? True. But before going under the...

HODGSON aaswvuoxa iVEIH mo 2 svs 01 100mg 8V9 mw m ATTORNEYS RECONCENTRATING IIYDROSCOPIC LIQUIDS USED IN GAS DEIIYDRATION WITH REVERSE OSMOSIS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Hygroscopic liquid including glycol, brines, organic or inorganic liquid, have been or are known to be used as liquid desiccants for dehydrating natural gas streams. Typically, as for example, brine is injected into a contacting tower where it passes in countercurrent or other flow-mixing means, sometimes in a plurality of mixing stages or steps. The spent or water-rich liquid is drawn off of the tower then discarded. In many instances the hygroscopic liquid, such as glycol, is regenerated. In the case of glycol this is accomplished by heating the liquid in a reboiler to drive off the water allowing the lean glycol to be reused in the contacting tower. Likewise, many of the other liquid desiccants require the use of heat to provide effective regeneration. The problem, however, is that many locations for dehydrating natural gas streams make it impractical and in some instances by operation of law, impossible to use any form of fired heat to regenerate the desiccants. For example, many offshore gas systems from an economic standpoint or by law or safety regulation do not permit the use of a fired heat source for any processes connected with the production of hydrocarbons. Additionally, remote and virtually unattended locations cannot use fired heat without a great many built-in safety devices to prevent explosion or waste if the fire should go out.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a non-direct fired regeneration system for hygroscopic liquid used as desiccants for dehydrating natural gas streams. Typical of such liquids includes those produced from hygroscopic salts or glycols, either ethylene, diethylene, triethylene, or others used in dehydrating gas streams, particularly natural gas streams.
This invention further provides the utilization of hygroscopic liquid in a continuous process which is not affected by the failure of a direct fired heat, is safe for remote and offshore locations to comply with government or other regulations and restrictions, and is economical.
Typical of the area in which this invention may be used is isolated offshore gas producing platforms. A further object of the invention is to provide a gas dehydration process utilizing the phenomena of reverse osmosis to regenerate the desiccant.
A still further object of this invention is to provide a process and apparatus of gas dehydration in which apparatus may be installed at the bottom of the sea in conjunction with other submerged gas well completion techniques.
The invention further provides process and apparatus which utilizes a regenerated hygroscopic liquid solution and which permits the use of the more expensive efficient types of liquid desiccants in a closed cycle system for use in remote operation for long periods of time without attention.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a schematic flow diagram describing a typical apparatus of this invention for a brine dehydration system.
FIG. 2 is a schematic flow diagram describing a typical apparatus of this invention for glycol dehydration systems.
FIG. 3 is a schematic flow diagram of another embodiment ofthis invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Before explaining the present invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and arrangement of parts illustrated in the accompanying drawings, since the invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced or carried out in various ways. Also it is to be understood that the phraseology or terminology employed herein is for the purpose of description and not of limitation.
Both the operation and the apparatus used and taught herein may be had by referring to the drawings, first to FIG. I. Brine is pumped from a storage tank 10 through flow line 12 and gas driven pump 14 into flow conduit 16 to the contacting tower 18 where it is caused to pass, as in this example, countercurrent, across trays, stages or contacting zones 20, to a wet gas stream entering through flow line 22. The contacting zones 20 may be any of those well known in the art including, but not limited to, those taught in US. Pat, Nos. 2,804,935; 2,804,940; and 2,804,941. The water-rich brine collects below at level 24 while oil or other lighter liquids present in the gas separate and flow thereabove at level 26, the latter being removed through conduit 28 to the lower part of the tower 18 where further separation and removal occurs as is well known to those skilled in the art. A water-rich brine outlet conduit 30 is flow controlled by a valve 32 which in turn is controlled by the float actuated system 34 of the type well known to those skilled in the art. This flow is regulated into a reverse osmosis unit 36 wherein the water within the brine is substantially removed and further caused to flow through conduit 38 into specific gravity controller 40. The outlet therefrom through flow line 42 re-enters the storage tank 10 for reuse and the cycle is repeated. The specific gravity controller operates in such a manner to allow only brine into the chamber 40 if it is of proper specific gravity. When the gravity drops below a desired set point the valve 44 is closed by the gas pressure in line 47 holding the brine in the reverse osmosis unit until its gravity is raised. When the gravity is too high valve 44 is opened closing valve 45 shutting in the reverse osmosis unit 36. The reverse osmosis unit, as used herein, preferably comprise a permeability separation system usually using a plurality of hollow fibers of a selective permeable membrane. A diversity of membranes are known which, to various degrees, have the property of being selectively permeable to different components of different mixtures. Thus, some membranes will pass water while restraining ions. Still others will selectively pass ions or even possess certain selected permeation rates for two or more non-ionic components of fluid mixtures. Reverse osmosis, or ultrafiltration is the most practical application of this type of separation. For example, when a solution is passed on one side of an osmotic membrane and the corresponding solvent is placed on the other side of the membrane, the solvent will pass through the membrane into the solution, the force varying with the character and concentrations involved. The force is the specific osmotic pressure for that solution. When a pressure differential is applied to the solution (opposed to any pressure that may be exerted on the solvent side of the membrane and in excess of the specific osmotic pressure of the system) a reverse osmosis or ultrafiltration is effected. In such cases, solvent from the solution is forced through the membrane while the ions are restrained from passing therethrough. In many instances hollow fibers of synthetic, thermoplastic polymeric materials are excellently well suited for use as permeability membranes.
Referring now to FIG. 2, lean glycol of the type well known in the art is stored in tank 50 and caused to flow by virtue of pump 52 through outlet flow line 54, and flow line 58 into a gas liquid contacting tower 60 within which the gas entering through lower conduit 62 passes upwardly in a counter-current relationship utilizing equipment well known to those skilled in the art. Dry gas exits through conduit 64 for further usage. Water-rich glycol collects at the lower end of the contactor 60 and is removed by way of conduit 66, being controlled by valve 68 through a gas separator and a filter 70 and thence into reverse osmosis tube modules 72 and '74 in series. Water is removed through each module through respective outlets 76 and 78. Lean glycol then passes through conduit 80 to the glycol storage 50 where the cycle is repeated.
The embodiment of FIG. 3 represents a typical glycol dehydration system in use on and offshore. ,Lean glycol is pumped from the accumulator tank via conduits 92 and 94 through pump means 96. Prior to its entrance into the glycolgas contact tower 98, the lean glycol is passed through a gas to glycol heat exchanger 100 where it enters the upper part of the tower 98 at a reduced temperature, approaching the gas temperature. The contacting of the gas with the glycol in the tower 98 removes water from the gas. Water-rich glycol dropping through the tower is collected on a chimney tray and thence conducted via conduit 102 through a filter 104 to reverse osmosis units 106 which are maintained substantially at the pressure of the contacting tower 98. In the reverse osmosis units 106 water is forced out of the glycol through the osmotic membranes. Preferably a membrane is used that permits not only water but also salt molecules to pass through thereby reducing the salt content of the glycol as well as the water content. This reduces a major operating problem with some dehydrators relative to the deposition of salt on the regenerator fire tubing which reduces heat transfer in the regenerator and destroys fire tubes. The glycol leaving the reverse osmosis units 106 passes by way of conduit 108 through pump 96 to a gas-glycol separator 110 where the gas evolved from the glycol tower is removed and used for fuel gas to fire the fire tube reboiler 112. Glycol from the separator at the reduced separator pressure is conveyed to the still column 114 by the action of eductor 116. Vacuum produced by the eductor is applied to the top of a flash chamber 118 where some of the remaining water within the glycol passing from reboiler 112 is drawn off in the form of vapors to the eductor 116 thus effecting further increase in glycol concentration.
The aforesaid described embodiment of FIG. 3 is particularly applicable to efficiently remove water from the glycol, heatlessly, and thereby reduce the water load on the regenerator or the reboiler. This permits the use of the smaller regenerator requiring less gas for heat regeneration of the concentrated glycol. Of course, this is in addition to the removal of brine or salt from the glycol as heretofore described.
In some instances with regard to the embodiment of FIG. 3, the gas-glycol separator may be placed ahead of the reverse osmosis unit to prevent gas from entering the reverse osmosis unitv The back pressure valve BP-l is used to reduce glycol pressure from the tower, if necessary, to protect the reverse osmosis unit which ordinarily operates between 1,000 -l ,500 p.s.i.g. A second back pressure valve BP-2 may be necessary to hold the pressure on the reverse osmosis unit 106 to an optimum level.

Fox News was quick to celebrate a federal appellate court's split decision striking down a crucial part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), even though that ruling was almost immediately rebuked by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, consistent with the decisions of two other federal courts and the widespread opinion of legal experts.
On July 22, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals issued its decision in Halbig v. Burwell, with the two Republican appointees on the three-judge panel holding that a provision of the ACA counterintuitively makes health insurance unaffordable for millions of Americans by prohibiting the IRS from providing tax credits to consumers who live in states that refused to set up health insurance exchanges. Those consumers must instead buy insurance from the federal exchange website, and many had relied on the tax credits to reduce the cost of insurance. The legal theory behind this lawsuit -- that the "Affordable Care Act" would somehow decline to provide affordable care to its intended beneficiaries -- has been hyped by right-wing media since the lawsuit was filed. National Review Online called the suit "ingenious," and Washington Post columnist George Will claimed that the IRS's clarification that tax credits are available in both state and federally-run health care exchanges was an example of the agency's "breezy indifference to legality."
Fox News immediately jumped on board with the two Republican judges' validation of this right-wing legal challenge, despite the dissent's warning that "this case is about Appellants' not-so-veiled attempt to gut" the ACA rather than sound statutory interpretation.
On the July 22 edition of Outnumbered, the panel accused the Obama administration of "ignoring the ruling of the D.C. Circuit" by announcing that it would unremarkably continue to provide the subsidies while the case was appealed, but still complained about the cost of premiums that will go up if subsidies are eliminated. Co-host Harris Faulkner complained that the ruling "reminds me of the infamous quote, 'if you like your doctor, you can keep it'" since consumers may not be able to obtain cost-saving tax subsidies in the wake of the Halbig decision. Neither Faulkner, nor any of her co-hosts, mentioned the right-wing origins of this suit -- or the fact that the express purpose of Halbig and other cases like it, was to "stop the Obama health care law" by making it too expensive for consumers to purchase without tax credits.
Fox News turned to Dr. Ben Carson -- a contributor who's compared health reform to slavery -- to give the network's first commentary on a federal court ruling that invalidated a portion of the Affordable Care Act. On July 22, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 to strike down federal subsidies for health insurance plans purchased through federal exchanges in the 36 states which did not establish their own marketplaces under the ACA.
Directly after the court's decision, Fox's America's Newsroom reported the breaking news and then trotted out contributor Ben Carson, an anti-ACA activist and retired neurosurgeon, for his thoughts on the ruling. He praised the decision, saying he was "very pleased."
The D.C. Circuit is expected to rule soon in Halbig v. Burwell, a lawsuit based on a fringe legal theory that could gut the Affordable Care Act (ACA) by eliminating federal exchange tax credits that significantly reduce the cost of private health insurance. Although this lawsuit has already been dismissed by legal experts and judges as meritless, right-wing media continue to misrepresent both the law and consequences surrounding Halbig.
The New Hampshire Union Leader rejected the factually accurate claim that the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby decision would result in gender discrimination while pushing the myth that the forms of contraception discussed in the case were actually abortion-inducing drugs.
A Fox News correspondent blamed the Obama administration's tweaks to the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for the Congressional Budget Office's (CBO) announcement that it would no longer estimate the total cost of the law, and suggested that the changes may increase deficits. In fact, the CBO and budget experts explained that the CBO routinely stops providing budgetary estimates once a law is implemented, and that the CBO's estimate that the ACA would reduce the deficit remains correct.
Right-wing media capitalized on the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby ruling with the refrain that the so-called 'war on women' is nonexistent, a bizarre take on a decision that relied on conservative talking points to deal a devastating blow to women's rights and health access.
Last month the Supreme Court ruled that "closely held" for-profit secular corporations like Hobby Lobby are exempt from the so-called contraception mandate, a provision of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that requires employer-sponsored health insurance to cover comprehensive preventive health care including birth control. Right-wing media cheered the decision -- made by a conservative all-male majority relying on right-wing media myths in the opinion -- by mocking the notion that it limited women's access to health care or evidenced a larger war on women.
Bill O'Reilly argued that Hobby Lobby exemplifies how the war on women narrative is being falsely sold by liberals by citing the fact that his two female guests, both Fox News figures, disapprove of "paying for other people's birth control" and haven't themselves experienced "gender bigotry."
Similarly, Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum predicted Democrats will use the decision to campaign on the "so-called war on women" with the "message that something's been taken away" from women. MacCallum deemed the notion "hard to understand" because, according to her, women still "have the freedom to get whatever kind of birth control they want to get," either from Hobby Lobby's health coverage or "free from Planned Parenthood."
Other Fox figures laughed at the idea of Hobby Lobby's connection to a war on women by comparing the term to the "Rocky Movie Franchise" which "just sort of keeps on going with different evolutions," and by describing it as a fabricated Democratic campaign strategy.
The war on women, a term coined by advocacy groups, describes the barrage of attacks from "far-right national and state lawmakers, in coordination with Religious Right activists" on "not just abortion rights, but also access to birth control and preventative care, as well as contemporary views of women's roles in the workplace, the family and the halls of power," as People for the American Way explained.
Fox News hyped a lawsuit by Republican Senator Ron Johnson (WI) against the federal government to revive the long-debunked myth that Congress got exemptions from the Affordable Care Act by receiving the same employer contribution for its insurance that it traditionally received.
The Wall Street Journal downplayed a "rare" and "extreme" Supreme Court order that could make it even more difficult for women to obtain contraceptive coverage in the wake of the Hobby Lobby decision, arguing that Justice Sonia Sotomayor "may come to regret her furious dissent" from the ruling.
On June 30, the conservative justices of the Supreme Court held in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby that the chain craft store was exempt from a provision in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that requires employer-provided health insurance plans to cover preventive health care services, including birth control. The majority opinion, helmed by Justice Samuel Alito, suggested that the government offer for-profit, secular corporations like Hobby Lobby the same accommodation that exempts religiously-affiliated non-profits from the birth control requirement. In order for such non-profits to take advantage of this exemption, they must sign a self-certification form that states their moral objection to birth control, which allows their insurance companies to provide the medications to employees at no additional cost.
But the Court, not to mention right-wing media outlets, ignored the flaw in this plan -- that the religious accommodation is also being challenged as an illegal burden on religious freedom. Wheaton College, a Christian school in Illinois, is one of the challengers arguing that signing the exemption form "makes it complicit in grave moral evil" because the college "sincerely believes" that signing will "enable the flow of abortion-inducing drugs." On July 3, the Supreme Court issued an emergency injunction in Wheaton's favor, excusing the college from signing the exemption form until after its lawsuit is heard by the lower courts. Sotomayor, joined by Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan, dissented from the order, writing that "those who are bound by our decisions usually believe they can take us at our word. Not so today. ... [Granting the injunction] evinces disregard for even the newest of this Court's precedents and undermines confidence in this institution."
In a July 6 editorial, the Journal dismissed the significance of the injunction, and called Sotomayor's dissent an "overreaction":
Our guess is that Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor may come to regret her furious dissent last week to a simple Court order granting a temporary religious liberty reprieve to Wheaton College from having to obey ObamaCare's contraception mandate. She and the two other female Justices accused the Court's majority of all sorts of legal offenses, not least dishonesty.
Wheaton is challenging that accommodation as too restrictive, but the Court did not rule on the merits last week. All it did was grant a reprieve from having to obey the mandate while the case is being heard. This says little about how the Court might eventually rule, notwithstanding Justice Sotomayor's angry implication. The reprieve will also not deny any reproductive services to anyone.
Justice Sotomayor suggested the majority had harmed the Court's reputation, but it seems to us that her overreaction did far more to make the Justices a political target.

Fox News is minimizing the radical nature of the Supreme Court's decision in Hobby Lobby, framing it as narrowly-tailored and claiming that the federal government "will end up paying" for the four contraceptives that the chain store objected to. However, Fox is ignoring the fact that companies are challenging all 20 contraceptives covered under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and that one way the conservative majority suggested the government could bridge the gap in coverage -- providing the same opt-out accommodation to for-profits that it provides to religiously-affiliated non-profits -- is already being challenged in the lower courts.
On June 30, the Supreme Court ruled in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, holding that for-profit, secular corporations are exempt from a provision in the ACA that requires employer-sponsored health insurance plans to cover comprehensive preventive health services, including contraception. The religious owners of Hobby Lobby objected to providing coverage for certain forms of birth control, including emergency contraception and intrauterine devices, because they erroneously believe that these medications cause abortions. For the all-male conservative majority on the Court, it was enough that the owners "sincerely believed" this scientifically inaccurate information.
Right-wing media immediately celebrated the Hobby Lobby decision, which adopted many of their favorite myths about religious freedom and contraception. Fox News in particular was supportive of the Court's supposedly "narrow ruling," with contributor Laura Ingraham claiming that women who worked at companies "like Hobby Lobby" who were upset about the decision were overreacting and "had really bad cases of the vapors over this case." A panel discussion on the June 30 edition of Fox's On the Record with Greta Van Susteren also downplayed the significance of the case, with Weekly Standard senior writer Stephen Hayes stating that he didn't think the case would "have a huge impact" because "the Court very carefully narrowed this case to apply basically to the facts presented." A.B. Stoddard, associate editor of The Hill, agreed with Hayes and claimed that the case was "narrowly-tailored," arguing that "the government will end up paying for these [forms of contraception] anyway." Fox News host Megyn Kelly went the furthest on The O'Reilly Factor, claiming reproductive rights advocate Sandra Fluke -- who warned the decision could apply to all contraception -- "doesn't know what she is talking about."

A Tampa Tribune editorial celebrating the Supreme Court's decision to allow companies to discriminate against certain types of birth control in their insurance plans furthered the flawed concept that the government was forcing companies to provide "life-ending morning-after pills." In fact, the scientific community has found that the disputed forms of contraception are not abortifacients.
Fox contributor Charles Krauthammer falsely claimed that the Obama administration "arbitrarily" determined that the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) preventive services requirement must include contraception. Krauthammer's claim ignores that the ACA includes contraception as a preventive services requirement for women, and dismisses the fact that contraception is an integral form of preventive care for women.
Following the June 30 Supreme Court decision that closely held corporations cannot be required to provide health coverage that includes contraception, Krauthammer asserted that the Obama administration "arbitrarily" decided that the ACA's mandate that employers provide preventative care should include birth control, "as if pregnancy is a disease to be prevented":

Ophthalmology Jobs in Buffalo, New York
Ophthalmology jobs in Buffalo typically have as a stipulation Ophthalmology board certification (or eligibility) and an active New York medical license. Doing an Ophthalmology residency or fellowship in New York is beneficial because it implies the physician is aware of NY licensure requirements.
Ophthalmology salaries for the east region of the U.S., including Buffalo, NY, average around $285,866. By comparison the U.S. average Ophthalmology salary is $325,384, meaning Ophthalmology jobs in Buffalo pay about 87.9% of the national average.

RAYTOWN, Mo. (AP) -- Police are investigating the deaths of four people, two of them children, found in a suburban Kansas City apartment.
Raytown police suspect foul play but are not saying how the people died.
Raytown police Capt. Ted Bowman said a relative discovered the bodies Monday afternoon when checking after not hearing from them. Neighbors told police they thought they heard gunshots, but Bowman would not release a cause of death.
Bowman said the victims were an adult man, an adult women and two boys. The four victims were related, but he did not know the specific relationship. He did say the children's mother and father were not among the victims.
A baby boy who was in the apartment was unharmed. Bowman said the baby was not related to the two dead children.
Both of those children were boys and were preteens. Bowman said identities of all the victims had not been confirmed.

How much compensation is too much compensation?
Lancaster Online, December 11, 2012
The American Red Cross is one of the nation's most venerable and largest charitable organizations, founded in 1881, with revenues of $3.5 billion in 2010. That year, Red Cross CEO Gail J. McGovern took home total compensation of $1.04 million. Two executives at Lancaster General Health—CEO and President Tom Beeman and Executive Vice President Jan Bergen—got more. By nonprofit healthcare standards, top LGH officials were paid in line with industry norms. Those norms, say a growing legion of critics, are scandalous.

New Book Helps Not-For-Profit Directors With Their Strategic Responsibilities
Directors of Non Profit Organizations (NPOs) have many responsibilities, of which one of the most critical is setting the NPO's strategic direction in a way that serves the best interests of the multiple stakeholders (donors, volunteers, employees, clients/users) upon whom the organization depends for support. This is a considerable challenge that can be daunting for many boards of directors, but bestselling author and McMaster University professor Dr. Chris Bart has made it a simple and practical process.
In his new book, 20 Essential Questions Directors Of Non-Profit Organizations Should Ask About Strategy, Bart has created a straightforward monograph and workbook to help directors of NPO's better define, understand and execute their strategic responsibilities with management in easy-to-understand language. As testimony to the book's value and acceptance, it was named the #5 Best Selling Business Book in Canada for 2012.
One very noteworthy question that Bart poses is how an NPO actually defines the term "strategy". Bart writes that this frequently overlooked question is vital due to the existence of many different definitions of "strategy" used by members of the board and its management. These differences have an obvious and potentially negative impact on the organization's performance long term. He then goes on to provide a simple, yet effective strategy definition framework that can be applied to any organization at the outset to avoid future performance shortfalls.
Another important question concerns "implementation", or how the organization has selected, designed, and aligned its internal arrangements to support the strategy. Bart writes, "Given sufficient time, information and human intelligence, any organization is capable of designing an outstanding strategy. The tough part occurs when it comes to executing it-i.e., turning the strategy into a reality." Bart cites numerous tactics for implementation, including: the proper management of information systems to monitor the strategy's progress; recruitment of appropriate employees and volunteers who can execute their share of the strategy; and ensuring that every member of the organization, from the field to the boardroom, understands and shares the same strategic vision.

Commando cairn at Tidal River
1 year ago from Parks Victoria
Commando exhibition at the Prom
Monday 28 October, 2013
Wilsons Promontory National Park is renowned as one of Victoria's most loved national parks being an ideal family getaway destination. However, how many visitors would actually be aware of the Prom's pivotal role in Australia's World War II training efforts!
Visitors will now have the opportunity to learn about the Prom's role as the site for Australia's first Guerrilla Warfare School in 1941-42 at a fascinating exhibition, "Cornerstone of the Nation", which has been organised by the Foster and District Historical Society.
Parks Victoria Ranger in Charge Brett Mitchell said the Australian Army built their first School of Guerrilla Warfare - No 7 Infantry Training Centre in 1941 at the current Darby River Picnic Area Site and also had established Camps at Tidal River.
"The school trained eight Australian and two New Zealand Independent Companies during 1941–1942 before the training program eventually moved to Queensland.
"It is quite an exciting exhibition to host at the Prom and I am sure our visitors will enjoy discovering the role the Prom played in providing an environment for military training of selected soldiers for guerrilla warfare in WW II", said Mr Mitchell.
The site will also play host to the annual pilgrimage of Commandos and their families on 17 November 2013 for the memorial commemorations.
The commemorations will begin with a short march from the Visitor Centre at approximately 1pm and head to the Commando cairn located in the Tidal River campsite area. A short ceremony will follow, with visitors welcome to attend this special event.
The "Cornerstone of the Nation" exhibition will be on display at the Tidal River Visitor Centre until 15 December 2013. It is envisaged that other exhibitions will be held in the future in conjunction with the Foster and District Historical Society to provide visitors with more insight into the Prom's colourful history.

Many couples get gridlocked in their relationship and never resolve important issues that are keeping them from being close. Using Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), an empirically validated therapy, couples learn to recognize negative patterns of behavior that are keeping them stuck in ineffective conflict resolution. EFT helps couples get to the ROOT of what is causing conflict in their relationship.
Couples therapy allows two people to come together in a different space - the therapy room - to talk about issues, problems, concerns and successes in a new and more beneficial way. Communication is a key concept for me in the therapy room, along with the processes that support our communication. As a couple's therapist, I will listen to the words and phrases that you use with one another, invite you to consider even a slightly different way of presenting your feelings and thoughts in order to be heard differently. I will work with each person in the couple to assure that they feel heard and understood, hopefully deepening your understanding of your partner.
Many couples seek counseling when they are experiencing conflict in their relationship. The most common reasons couples come to counseling is due to difficulity in communication, money and intimacy. Most of us learn to communicate by watching our own parents who may not have been the best teachers. I teach couples the common styles of communication (ie. often one person want to work out the issue immediately and the other person needs time to think and process the situation which can lead to distress). I help couples learn to communicate in a way that they can be heard and understood. Communication is also key to express intimacy needs and to get them met in a way that is mutually satisfying
We provide a variety of couples counseling modalities including the Gottman Method, Imago therapy, and sex therapy.
Ms. Gregory specializes in sex therapy. Sometimes this involves having a couple in the therapy room exploring the issues that are challenging in their sex life. Other times she works with individuals to work through sexual issues that negatively impact their romantic relationships. The range of sexual issues includes medical/physical arousal and performance, sex and pornography addiction, issues of attraction, past trauma, etc.
Through my extensive training in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, I work to understand each partner's perspective of their relationship. Collaboratively, we explore how current interactions lead towards disconnection, and then we make efforts towards reconciling that disconnect towards a more nurturing, secure relationship that provides love and respect for both partners.
If you are in a relationship, it is likely that at some point in time you will find yourself out of sync with each other. This is common, and how couples deal with it makes all the difference in the world. I help couples untangle their communication, find their common ground, and highlight components that honor the value in each person in the relationship. If you are experiencing relationship issues and would like to sit down with someone who is not so close to the situation, I would be honor to help.
What are the most common couples' issues? If you are thinking "communication, conflict, sex, money, child rearing" you are correct. However, most therapists will go after the symptom on each side of the couple fence thinking that the way to effective change is by getting each party to "work" on their respective "issue". Many times the parties don't agree but comply. Imagine if you could align the unconscious brains of a couple and stop the "working on your issues" part that has become so popular in therapy settings?

One of my specialties is relationships. I've been seeing couples in my practice for 25 years. All couples have disagreements, whether expressed or unexpressed, that can lead to relationship problems. Fortunately, couples' counseling has developed in the last 10 years to the point that we are able to strategically target patterns of behavior that are harmful, support those that are helpful and teach techniques that may make a profound difference in relationships no matter what issues you bring. I can help you identify the patterns in your relationship that don't work, and teach you the skills that have been shown to improve relationships and keep them strong.
Love songs, movies about love, self-help books about finding and keeping love -the theme of being in a couple or wanting to be in a couple seems to be all around us. Our most intimate relationships can be the most challenging and also have the most potential for opening our hearts and helping us to grow. If you are having a relationship problem, don't wait until resentments build and it's too late to repair. I specialize in helping couples who are having the same old fight over again and also helping couples who don't fight but whose relationship has gotten stale. It is possible to restore hope even if you no longer feels "in love." Don't just save a relationship; create a better one.
I have worked with couples for over 30 years who have come in with a wide range of issues and conflicts. Each couple is unique, even if some of their difficulties are similar to other people they know. I help you to identify the 3 major contributors to your struggles--the contributions each of you have brought into the relationship, AND the third (and often overlooked) factor that is the relationship itself that you have have created that has its own characteristics and patterns that keep you stuck. I often find it helpful and effective in working with each partner individually at the same time, coordinating the treatment while respecting the confidentiality of what is said privately.

Ricky Ponting has said he would support shifting the Champions League Twenty20 to another country if the event does not take place in India following the terrorist strikes in Mumbai on Wednesday night. His comments were echoed by Shane Warne, captain and coach of the Rajasthan Royals, who was en route to Mumbai but said he didn't think he would be going there.
Several Australian Test players plus the Victoria and Western Australia squads were due to fly to India during the next week but Cricket Australia has temporarily suspended the plans.
"They've said that any cricket travel has been cancelled at the moment," Ponting said in Adelaide. "I think that's definitely the right decision right now."
It should become clearer over the next day whether the Australian players are likely to be cleared to go to the tournament, which was due to begin on Wednesday with a match between Victoria and Middlesex in Mumbai. Victoria were scheduled to stay in the Taj Palace hotel, where terrorists entered the building and took hostages on Wednesday, but the games are expected to be shifted initially to Bangalore.
At least 80 people were killed in the attacks across the city and Matthew Hayden, who is due to play for the Chennai Super Kings, said it was unclear if the tournament would proceed. He said it would be a "huge loss" for international cricket if the event was cancelled.
"It takes a number of hours, up to 12 hours, to get any kind of position on it, so we'll just have to be monitoring as the Test match goes on," Hayden said. "There's been murmurs of [playing in] Bangalore and different opportunities but we'll just have to go with it and as always work with Cricket Australia and ACA [Australian Cricketers' Association] and the various positions with DFAT [Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade] to understand what we're dealing with."
Ponting said the blasts in Mumbai were "close to home" for his players, who earlier this month were in India. He said they were keen to see the Champions League go ahead if possible.
"That's been the whole talk around the breakfast room this morning and certainly even at the start of training was about this incident," Ponting said. "It goes to show the level of concern that we're showing towards it.
"Everyone who's playing in the event or wants to see the event do well would like to see it go ahead. So if that means moving it to a different country then I guess I'd support that."
The terrorist attacks have been a more immediate concern for most of the members of the Champions League's organising committee, who were either staying, or due to stay, at the Taj Palace. Many of them were working late at the BCCI's nearby offices but Dean Kino, a member of the governing council, was at the hotel when the terrorists entered the building.
Kino, who is Cricket Australia's lawyer, devised the rules for the Twenty20 tournament. "We've been speaking to Dean since 6am (8pm GMT) and been in constant contact with him," a Cricket Australia spokesman told Cricinfo. "We've been in contact with his family and we can confirm he is safe and no longer at the hotel."
Shane Warne has stopped in Singapore after being told to delay his travel to Mumbai. Warne and Darren Berry, also part of the Rajasthan Royals franchise, are waiting for further instructions.
"I'm shocked," Warne told the Herald Sun. "Darren and I got off the plane and saw the news on TV. It's unbelievable. The place is chaos. We are heading to Mumbai and that's the hotel we are staying at. I don't think we will be going [to India] now. Why would you?"
Warne said he had taken his luggage from the connecting flight and would stay put at the Singapore airport and wait for further information. "At this stage I am going to stay where I am for the rest of the day, but I reckon we are certainties to be on a flight heading home later today," Warne said. "It is just not worth the risk. No amount of money is worth the risk with what is going on over there at the moment." The Australian government's travel advice has warned people to stay away from Mumbai, but has not increased the alert level for India.

text: Israel-Palestine Message of support I wish for you all the peace that can only be achieved by a powerful, grassroots commitment to love. I pray you take this chance to love and to be loved. Virginia Masson USA It is insufficient simply to support 'peace'. We need to set out the choice: either two states (partition) or a single democratic state. There is no third way. Roger Higginson London, UK If the majority of people want peace, then it follows that, just as is being done by A Better Community For All, there is potential to explore cultural unity no matter what the conflict. Burton Danet, Ph.D. Manhattan Beach CA USA Grief can interrupt the abiity to build peaceful relationships. It can even obstruct the ability to see that possibility. Healing grief, then, is an integral part of the peacemaking process. Janie Cook USA If the U.S.A. would begin a policy of Loving and Giving vs. Fighting and Taking, we will see Peace Globally to include the Middle East. Craig Davies Metteauer Hawaii I cannot express it any better than Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh: "Peace is not simply the absence of violence; it is the cultivation of understanding, insight and compassion combined with action." Andrew Smith England Peace is possible, however can only be possible and attainable when those who wants peace make a true commitment that love will prevail, and respect for the rights of others is considered paramount. Kaa Enoch Abuja Nigeri If you were the parent of all mankind, how would you teach your children respect and loyalty? John Bickell London, UK There can only be peace when the governments of the world stop the war machine and stop making weapons of death. When the power of love overthrows those who love power, only then will there be peace X Aaron Patrick Quinn England We are all on the same planet, same species, all the divisions are man made. The invisible 'lines in the sand' are illusions. Live in the now not in the past. Peace, love, forgiveness. Michelle Goff UK Not what I'd like to say: Israel's National Security Uzi Arad doesn't believe in non-military options w Iran. http://bit.ly/47vVMl Blake Parker Cambridge, MA USA I sincerely hope your mission is successful and those people stop fighting in the Holy Land. I oppose all violence, even non-physical violence. Tom Vitale Altanta, GA (born Pgh. PA.) Peace is an activity, not a place or an end--it's an ongoing process of connection and conversation and exploration. And I can think of no better work to be engaged in. Thank you, each, so, so much. Siona USA I hope all the world would be in Peace. Without War, Birds Would Be Singing. The peace from two sides not from one side so we should come together in one point. Ahed Abu Sharekh Palestine The Elders is the most important group I believe has ever been formed. It is a reminder that the world must listen to wisdom if humanity is to heal its wounds and embrace a positive future. Ben Erwin New York, NY each journey begins with one foot in front of the other and an hand offered in peace. deb alberta canada In South Africa we learnt that when you cast aside fear, forgive and move forward with courage: anything is possible! Corlia Peters Cape Town if we are all the children of G_D, then how could he love any of else greater or lesser? We are all the chosen of G_D and we are loved unconditionally and without bias. Peace is...Inevitable michael usa Thanks for being open and sharing what you are doing. It means a lot to global citizens to see leaders taking a public stand and involving us in their work. Jason Mogus Vancouver, BC I would like to suggest that peace is not an end state, but the by-product of something else. What is that "something else?" Monika Aring Seattle, WA Wonderful to see our wise Elders meet and act with communities in Palestine and Israel. I cannot think of another current example of the human rights abuses occuring in Palestine. annette brownlie australia Sadly, the meetings in Europe this week aren't leading to a breakthrough to halt Israeli settlements in Palestine and make way for the peace process to recommence. http://bit.ly/o9Cre Eileen White Read Washington, DC At this time of the year, it is particularily poignant that there is such pain and division in the place where Jesus was born. I hold all of the Palestinian and Israeli people in my prayers. Elaine Murray Kilkenny, Ireland War has killed millions of beautiful human beings - Yet if a Microbe was found on another planet it would be cherished as a miracle - Peace, respect and tolerance is the only way forward. James Cassells Sydney Australia I pray for the little children of Gaza. I know many of them have lost their homes and family members in the recent conflict. I pray that The Elders can help bring about peace to their troubled land. Peggy Sheridan N. Ireland Men and women are both incredibly important to bring peace to the middle east. It takes both of us to make the world go around and we are falling down on the job. We must work together! Lucy Sommer USA Peace constitutes an inescapable imperative the world over and the Middle East is no exception. We need a world where people compete not in killing each other but in loving each other and in sharing. Ochieng M. Khairalla Kenya The U.S. should not wait two years. It should recognize Palestine de facto NOW. Morton Nadler Blacksburg VA USA Peace pacts have never worked throughout history. The formation of a society of peoples (such as the EU) of disparate cultures that had been enemies for centuries (such as the EU) can bring peace. Nick (Klaus) Veltjens Melbourne Australia Praying, working, donating and always always hoping for peace in a region I love and respect. Please don't give up. I'm pulling for you all.

Vlasic (upper body) to miss Game 7
Apr 30, 2014, 2:31 PM EST
In one of the biggest games in franchise history, the San Jose Sharks will be without one of their best defensemen.
Marc-Edouard Vlasic will miss his second straight contest tonight when the Sharks host the Kings in Game 7 of their first-round series — a series that San Jose once led 3-0.
Vlasic, 27, suffered what's being called an upper-body injury in Game 5 on a hit (plus forearm to the head) by L.A.'s Jarret Stoll:
Vlasic, a member of Team Canada's gold-medal winning squad in Sochi, led the Sharks in average even-strength ice time during the regular season and finished a team-high plus-31.

Charley Webb - Soap Stars Charley Webb And Matthew Wolfenden Split
Picture: Charley Webb and Matthew Wolfenden - The British Soap Awards 2013 - Arrivals - Manchester, United Kingdom - Saturday 18th May 2013
British soap stars Charley Webb and Matthew Wolfenden have separated after a four-year engagement.
The actors, who appear in Emmerdale together, became engaged in 2009 and are parents to a three-year-old son, Buster, who was born in 2010.
An Emmerdale spokesperson has confirmed the split, but insisted the co-stars remain on amicable terms, saying, "Charley Webb and Matthew Wolfenden have today confirmed that they have separated. They will remain friends and are focusing on their little boy."
The stars play Debbie Dingle and David Metcalfe in the long-running U.K. soap opera.
