Twenty-something author makes a good case for staying single.
For the first 25 years of her life, Katie Heaney didn't date.
She had crushes, sure, but not on boys who felt the same way at the same time. And to the men who did like her as she got older, she was polite and friendly, but when it didn't feel right, she didn't try to make it work.
"One of the great divides, I think, between people who date a lot and people who date never is that people who date never don't understand putting up with [a relationship that's] 'fine,' " she writes in her nondating memoir, "Never Have I Ever: My Life (So Far) Without a Date."
"I can't begin to conceive of why anybody would voluntarily spend great chunks of her free time dedicated to someone she doesn't adore. Why would I want to go out to dinner and a movie with someone I'm not completely crazy about when I already know how much I like eating dinner and watching a movie by myself?
We caught up with Heaney, now 27 and an editor at BuzzFeed, to talk about life, love and the response to her book.
Q: What kind of reaction is the book getting?
A: I've heard from probably hundreds of young women … and I think there's some level of excitement that there's a story being told in the public that they can relate to. That's how I felt before the book came out: I didn't see a story like mine, even though I knew I wasn't the only one.
Q: What's the upside of not dating?
A: In my case it was a good thing. What it meant to me to be single for all that time was to do what I wanted to do, to focus a great deal of my attention on my friends and my school and my family and figuring out who I was and what I wanted to do with my life.
Q: You're not big on giving a guy a second chance after a mediocre date, are you?
A: It just depends. I did date a couple people briefly. One of the ones I went out with was from the Internet, and I felt tepid about the first date, but I knew I wanted to go on a second one. Like, "This wasn't the best night of my whole entire life, but I have enough interest here to go out with him again and see what happens." We went out five times, and I decided that was enough for me to know, and that was it.
Q: Has your outlook on dating changed?
A: It's probably mostly the same. There are periods of feeling really good about it, and there are periods when I get sick of it, too.

The VW logo is seen on the front of one of dozens of new Passats made at the Chattanooga Volkswagen assembly plant parked outside the plant.
The Volkswagen brand sold 893,400 vehicles, up 9 percent, in the first two months of 2013 globally over a year ago on stronger results in North America and Asia, the company reported today.
However, the sales level in February was almost unchanged, with the brand handing over 401,400 vehicles, up less than 1 percent.
Christian Klingler, board member for sales and marketing for the Volkswagen Group, said VW compensated for weak markets in Western Europe with growth in the Asia-Pacific region and in Central and Eastern Europe.
Also, in North America, VW grew deliveries by 8.2 percent to 90,300 units, of which 60,500 vehicles were handed over in the U.S., up 4.7 percent in the first two months.

The Differences Between Habs Yahoos & Canadiens Fans
The picture above encapsulates what a Habs "Yahoo" is. In case, you don't know the definition:
Habs yahoo – noun informal: a rude, noisy, disrespectful or violent supporter of the Montreal Canadiens hockey club that doesn't think his/her sh*t stinks and possess a holier than thou mentality even though he/she's team has won NOTHING since 1993.
Canadiens fan - noun: a respectful, down to earth, hockey loving supporter of the Montreal Canadiens hockey club that can poke fun at themselves and carry on adult conversations/debates with the opposition's fans without be hateful or accusing them of being racist.
Yes folks, Canadiens fans do indeed exist. They are not myths or legends like the Loch Ness Monster or Big Foot. There are actually Montreal fans that can engage in friendly debates with Boston Bruins fans rather than mud slinging contests. They can take a joke and a ribbing without picking up their phones to call 9-1-1.
I know at least a half dozen Canadiens fans on Twitter that I would even consider friends. Know how your friends tease you? They say, "We make fun of you because we like you". That is my relationship with these salt of the earth kind of people north of the border. We NEVER take ourselves too seriously in this great and intense rivalry.

- Online Pre-Licensing Courses in: Life & Health and Property & Casualty
- Continuing Education Online Courses
- Scurities Courses
- Cram & Tutorials for Pre-Licensing Exam
- Live Funeral & Burial Classes
The Insurance School of the Central Valley offers on-line courses that are the opportunity for anybody of average intelligence to begin a high earning career without spending large amounts of money, or spending large amounts of time acquiring the necessary skills.
We taught live classes for nearly 20 years (Pre-licensing for property & Casualty, Life & Health, securities classes, and a 12 hour Code and Ethics class. We have used ABLE on-line courses since 1994 (They later became Exam FX) to supplement our live courses. We felt live was best, and still do. However times do change. We all live in a computer world today.
We were Exam FX's very first or second California vendors. We (Harry and Helen) no longer have the ability (age and health) to do a good job in the live classroom. But we have watched Exam FX grow, and improve and prosper. Today their on-line courses match in performance results those that we experienced with live presentations!
What you should know is this: They do what they say they will do! Many of you reading this know us (Harry & Helen) but do not know them, Exam FX that is. We put our professional and personal reputation and name on Exam FX products. We looked nation-wide for a superior on-line supplier. Spent money to do so by trying some out – not good enough. We found none better than Exam FX.
Take a few moments to look at the offered courses as well as the rest of our web site. Feel free to call us ( 209-521-0874 ) or Email us: firstname.lastname@example.com and question us about the insurance industry, about employers (who are looking to hire); about the subject matter of the course; a particular question or subject area that you do not understand ask even about YOU and our opinion of how YOU will fit in the insurance industry, and where.
Our web master is intensely preoccupied with having the best online course possible. These words are not said by Harry & Helen frivolously. We have seen our Web Master's material improve month after month, year after year. So that today they have the highest first time passing rate of any online pre-licensing course in California!
We competed against our own Web Master. The difference was this: We were live they were online. Our live school won! But as the years passed our Web Master because of the many constant improvements got better and better so that today the y are the same high percentage first time passing as our live classes were! And with the Advantage Program, even higher.
In other words, if you want a quality live pre-licensing course ExamFX provides that quality level. This is what you expect in a live presentation except it's now online.
Classes are 52 hours except where noted.
Highest first-time passing rate of any online course offered in California.

Funeral and Burial Classes
These classes are usually taught in the Funeral Home themselves! Harry does the classes.
The time involved is from 2 to 4 days depending on the locations of the Funeral Home. The actual class time is two 8 hour days usually in mid-week although weekends are acceptable. The 4 day schedule is for locations further away from the Central Valley. For example San Bernardino, Los Angeles, San Diego, Ukiah, are four days: The first day is travel to the location and setup the classroom. The 2nd day is the first day of class. The 3rd day is the 2nd day of class. The 4th day is travel to home base (Modesto). Middle distant locations in Bakersfield, Fresno, Monterey, Sacramento is a three day block of time. Day one travel, setup. Day 2 class, day 3 class. Return after class to Modesto. Nearby locations, Merced, Stockton, Lodi, Concord just 2 days.

Lovaza is a brand name prescription drug. The capsule sold by GlaxoSmithKline but developed by Reliant Pharmaceuticals, contains esterified fish oils and is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to lower very high triglyceride levels. It is metabolized into Omega-3 fatty acids. It is a dietary supplement that has been purified, chemically altered, branded, and been put through the approval process of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA); in these respects it is considered a pharmaceutical. Due to the esterification process during manufacturing there is no risk of contamination[citation needed] by methylmercury, arsenic,[1] or other pollutants that are often seen in the world's oceans. Each 1-gram capsule is 38% DHA, 47% EPA, and 17% other fish oils in the form of the ethyl ester.
Lovaza is named Omacor in Europe (and this name was once used in the US).[2]
Lovaza is approved in the U.S. for treatment of patients with very high triglycerides (hypertriglyceridemia).[3]
In the European markets and other major markets outside the US Lovaza is known as Omacor, and is indicated for:
- Hypertriglyceridemia. Used as monotherapy, or in combination with a statin for patients with mixed dyslipidemia.[citation needed]
- Secondary prevention after myocardial infarction (heart attack)[citation needed]
in addition to other standard therapy (e.g. statins, antiplatelets medicinal products, beta-blockers, and ACE-I).
Lovaza has been demonstrated to reduce triglycerides in patients with high or very high triglycerides. [3]
Lovaza has also been demonstrated to reduce VLDL-cholesterol and non-HDL-cholesterol, and increase HDL-cholesterol. But, it can raise LDL-cholesterol up to 45%.[4] The LDL raising activity correlates with a reduction in ApoB levels, though. Lovaza, through the stimulation of Lipoprotein Lipase, seems to stimulate the production of less atherogenic LDL species. In some patients, it can elevate alanine transaminase levels, so liver enzymes should be checked, periodically.[4]
Effects on significant patient outcomes such as acute myocardial infarction, stroke, cardiovascular and all-cause mortality have been studied in patients who have suffered a myocardial infarction. Lovaza has not been shown to lower the rates of all cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality, or the combination of mortality and non-fatal cardiovascular events.[3]
GlaxoSmithKline's patent expired in September 2012. Generic versions may be made available at that time. Other DHA/EPA products containing similar amounts of Omega-3 fatty acids are currently sold over the counter in the United States as dietary supplements.
In July 2012, Amarin Corporation received U.S. FDA marketing approval for Vascepa, also referred to as AMR-101.[5] Vascepa will undoubtedly become a major competitor for Lovaza.[6] In clinical trials, Vascepa was shown to lower triglycerides; while Lovaza also lowers the triglyceride concentration, Vascepa also lowers LDL-C; Lovaza does not. Lovaza was approved to treat people with very high triglyceride levels (>500 mg/dl), Vascepa is also approved for this market; however the company has also demonstrated that the drug can impact levels in people with high triglyceride (> 200 mg/dl and < 500 mg/dl) levels and will file an sNDA for this indication late in 2012.[7]
Forms of Lovaza[edit]
Lovaza is available as 1-gram soft-gelatin capsules.[8]
Active Ingredient: Omega-3-acid ethyl esters
Inactive Ingredients: Gelatin, glycerol, purified water, alpha-tocopherol (in soybean oil)

CAPE CORAL. Fla. -- Despite the drop in unemployment, one group is still struggling to find work: our American veterans.
It's difficult for some of the men and women who return from war to get back on their feet financially and keep a job. But one southwest Florida group is working to change that.
According to the Invest in America's Veterans Foundation, many of the vets, unemployed are college age. They've taken advantage of the GI Bill but find themselves at the end of the month a little short on money.
Joshua Malo is a United States Marine Corps Veteran. Coping with PTSD and with the changing times, he says finding work is a challenge. "I have noticed not just for myself, but other veterans, that it's hard for them to put military experience into perspective to employers on the outside," he said.
But with a wife and two children to support, he's working hard to find a job.and he isn't alone.
Ralph Santillo with the Invest in America's Foundation says the numbers are skyrocketing. With more and more veterans leaving Iraq and Afghanistan he doesn't expect the numbers to go down, anytime soon.
"The last numbers we have and we don't know how accurate these are, are 9.9 percent unemployment for veterans, we think its higher than that, we think its closer to 14 or 15 percent," Santillo said.
Veterans that are just coming out they find it very difficult to readjust back into civilian life and just in the matter of 30 days go find a job. it's hard for them to get back on track.
That's why volunteers with the veteran's foundation work with men and women to help them find a job or even a career.
They held their first job fair in May. 92 veterans attended. A dozen found a job that very day and a dozen more the month after.
They will host another job fair at the southwest Florida Military Museum in Cape Coral, taking place Wednesday from 12:00-2:00pm. 25-30 businesses are expected to be at the job fair. Veterans are encouraged to bring a resume.

Fall 2014 office hours:
8- 10 and 3-4 Mondays and Wednesdays. I am typically in the office much more than these official office hours. Most days, drop-in visits are acceptable.
Photos above are of presentations at several state, regional, and international-level conventions. Additionally, I and four other profs have just finished a book on teamwork among public school educators, given some recently found labor and economic factors. Another book on the first year experiences of successful superintendents was published last year.
Helpful Links
After a lot of scholarly production during the past five years, this year I am paying much more attention to my classroom teaching. I love the classroom and love living in a world of ideas. There are two studies that I and my colleagues are trying to publish this year. I am finishing out terms on several committees.
In the undergraduate programs, each faculty member makes contributions to the eventual makeup of every student who goes through teacher education. For secondary education, my contributions include some background in diversity (SEED4052) and school law, history and philosophy of education, and content area reading (SEED4503). In graduate school, I teach a basic research course, EDFD/MAT6003. All are passionate subjects of mine.
This year's activities are consistent with those of someone who may be anticipating retirement fairly soon. I want to give my students the best "fair shake" on the classroom teaching that I can. What I do in the classroom will exist well beyond my career or my lifetime. I see things that I do that someone taught me way back in the 70s or 80s. My students may be talking about my ideas--whether they agree with them or not--past 2050.

Need fresh chorizo!
Where can I find this around montgomeryville? I've had absolutely no luck in chain grocery stores.
maybe do a search of farmer's markets in your area? if you ever come into philly, i get mine at martin's in reading terminal. may not be the most authentic, but damn if it doesn't taste good in jambalaya.
They often have it at the Jenkintown Whole Foods, so the Montgomeryville store probably has it as well.
I normally buy it from Giant. Check the one in Montgomeryville, the Hatfield store usually carries it. This past week, I picked up a package at Acme in Lansdale. I would call around!
Anywhere, where there is a decent Mexican food store, meaning a good size Latino population. Probably Reading Terminal Market...what about that place on Butler Pike in Ambler though? Across the street from where the Acme used to be?

Newly acquired Conor Gillaspie homered off Collin Balester in the sixth inning, helping the Chicago White Sox beat Texas 8-4 Wednesday and drop the Rangers to 0-5 in spring training.
Acquired Friday from San Francisco for minor league pitcher Jeff Soptic, Gillaspie had four RBIs Tuesday aghainst the Rangers.
Paul Konerko hit a two-run homer against left-hander Robbie Ross, and 24-year-old right-hander Simon Castro allowed one hit in three scoreless innings for the win. Chicago (3-0-2) is unbeaten through its first five exhibition games for the first time since moving spring training from Florida to Arizona for 1998.
Alexi Ogando, back in the Texas rotation this year after spending 2012 in the bullpen, was the loser. He allowed a pair of unearned runs and three hits in two innings.

Sainsbury's store stalled by Greenwich Council as Tesco opens
Odd goings-on at a meeting of Greenwich Council last night. It should have been an important night if you live in the riverside part of Charlton, as a long-standing application to build a new Sainsbury's store on Woolwich Road, on the site of the old Wickes branch, was to have been have been approved or rejected.
In short, Sainsbury's has run out of space in its Greenwich store, and would like to open a new store half a mile down the road, to the same environmental principles as its 13-year-old current branch.
Marks & Spencer would take up space in the building too, and developer LXB – which has bought up much of the Charlton retail space – has spent a lot of time wooing local residents' groups and pledging that it'll bring a bit of life back to the Woolwich Road.
The planning application was submitted in May, and these things are meant to take 13 weeks to come to a decision. In "Royal" Greenwich, this actually took until the penultimate day of November to be scheduled for a decision.
But that wasn't enough. Four days after Woolwich's new mega-Tesco opened, on the night of the meeting, Greenwich Council's planning board decided to delay the Sainsbury's application even further. But why?
Apparently, a site visit was needed. Even though this is a prominent site, sat between two A-roads, and a visit could have been arranged at any time within the past five months. Also, a "retail impact assessment" was required – but why couldn't have been done in the five months it took this application to come before the planning board? After all, it's 13 months since a councillor voiced reservations on he effect this would have on Woolwich.
All of this came as a surprise to the council's planning officers, but it was to no avail – Sainsbury's application, submitted in May, was booted well into the long grass.
How did this happen? Well, there was an exchange of scribbled notes, which started with regeneration cabinet member Denise Hyland (of foot tunnels fame), and involved council leader Chris Roberts, planning director Steve Pallett and planning chair Ray Walker. And then, mysteriously, the item was struck off the agenda.
Incidentally, across the road from Woolwich Town Hall, and a couple of miles from the Sainsbury's site, a new mega-Tesco has just opened. Tesco built the council's new HQ as part of the deal, and council leader Chris Roberts has spoken warmly about the job opportunities the new store has brought.
Wisely, though, as a member of the planning board, Chris Roberts didn't appear in the photos marking the store's opening on Monday – leaving that to mayor David Grant, MP Nick Raynsford and Abbey Wood-based Olympian Zoe Smith, with a cheque from Tesco to the council's charity.
But despite his endorsements of Tesco in Woolwich, he was still able to take part in an exchange of notes which resulted in a planning decision about a rival's store being deferred for a "retail impact assessment". (Even though one had already been done – see below.)
So, what on earth is going on? Local campaigners in Charlton want to use the Sainsbury's scheme (and the long-delayed Travelodge, also backed by LXB) as leverage to make the Woolwich Road less of a filthy rat-run and more of a pleasant place to live.
Yet despite months of prevarication, Greenwich Council has kicked it into the long grass, just as a rival's store opens. What is going on in a council run by a party which, on a national level, brands Tesco "an almighty conglomerate"?
11.45am update: It's been pointed out to me that a retail impact assessment had already been done – it's two documents in this enormous bundle here. Council officers, meanwhile, had been working under the belief that the issue would be discussed last night. What is going on?

Greenwich Council's tall ships jolly goes all Cotton Eye Joe
You might have seen by now how Greenwich Council is bidding to bring the Tall Ships Race to the borough in 2016 – and how leader Chris Roberts led a five-strong council team to Riga, Latvia a couple of weeks back to meet and greet the great and the good of the tall ships world, with council taxpayers picking up the £5,500 bill for their trip to the Tall Ships Conference.
While the trip's already sprouted one success – the borough's been asked to host a regatta in 2014 – it's raised eyebrows among councillors; most didn't know about the bid until Roberts returned from Riga. And why did it take five people – including chief executive Mary Ney, Roberts' spin chief Katrina Delaney and cabinet member Peter Kotz – to make the journey, at a cool £1,140 each?
And as the Tall Ships Race would start from Woolwich rather than Greenwich, couldn't the council's buddies at Berkeley Homes, which is developing the Royal Arsenal site and would benefit from the attention, have coughed up the costs? Or the backers of Sail Royal Greenwich, pictured above at its launch last year, which started this enthusiasm for hoisting masts on the Thames?
As their neighbours in Lewisham display unity over the threat to Lewisham Hospital, Greenwich's Labour councillors have been left wondering quite what their leader is up to once again.
Still, that might not be the worst of it. You can watch the video of the Riga conference here…
Skip forward, beyond the bit about the bar running out of booze, to 17min 20secs in, where a Dutchman introduces how he works with young people… by dancing to Rednex's novelty 1994 hit Cotton-Eye Joe. And then at 19 mins 20 secs in, where he gets all the delegates to join in.
Did the Dear Leader and his jolly crew shake their funky stuff? Time to keep a close eye out for photos…
Will Tesco save or strangle Woolwich?
Life in Woolwich won't be the same again. The new Tesco on Woolwich New Road has just opened its doors for the first time. The motto "Every little helps" now looms over General Gordon Square – but will the rest of the struggling town centre be able to live with its giant new neighbour?
The supermarket is just one part of the huge Woolwich Central development – Greenwich Council's new Woolwich Centre HQ was the first to open, and flats are being built above Tesco. If you approach it from Angelsea Road, it towers above the pub and small shops on Woolwich New Road – this isn't a development that's going to be held in much affection outside the town hall and Tesco HQ. Look out for it in next year's Carbuncle Cup.
Clearly, though, the new store has created hundreds of new jobs – one reason why the council has cosied up to Tesco, despite criticism of the chain from, um, the Labour Party. It's been the way Greenwich under leader Chris Roberts has done regeneration, by building up close alliances with selected large companies, and relentlessly promoting their work.
But if Tesco's arrival at one end of Woolwich town centre kills off competition at the other end, will this backfire? Tesco hasn't had a full-size supermarket in the borough since the early 1980s, when it pulled out of its dowdy old Eltham store. Since then, it's transformed itself into the country's biggest retailer by competing aggressively with all-comers. The new store features an optician, ethnic foods and a health and beauty department – it won't just be Sainsbury's in the firing line, and the effects may well be felt far beyond Woolwich.
Some of the volunteers who gave out council newspapers during the Olympics will be brought back to encourage shoppers to venture down Powis Street. You'll have to be at least 35 to remember Woolwich as a thriving town centre, hammer blows over the decades include the 1980s loss of Cuffs department store, the closure of the Co-Op in the 1990s, the closure of the Arsenal and the relocation of Greenwich University and Morgan Grampian publishing. Exiled to zone 4 in public transport, it's a tough sell to tempt businesses to replace what's been lost, and there's been a lack of innovative thinking in trying to fill these empty buildings. (Why not offer them at low rents to creative industries, which worked in Deptford and is working at Second Floor Arts by the river?)
The extension of the Docklands Light Railway and the revamp of General Gordon Square have been bright spots, and it's true that Tesco might will encourage people to rediscover a town centre they abandoned years ago. But all this is far from certain – what we do know for sure, though, is that the next year is going to be a crucial one for the future of Woolwich.
Thousands march to demand Lewisham A&E stays open
It was no day for a demo. But they came from across south-east London. These placards greeted me when I jumped on a bus in Charlton.
When I arrived, twenty minutes before the march started, there were three or four hundred there.
When I left, twenty minutes after the march started, there were three or four thousand setting off down Lewisham High Street.
Thousands of marchers – hundreds of stories.
Organisers say 15,000 had joined the march by the time it reached Ladywell Fields.
I'm told Labour Party members were abused on the march – I got grief from a man for even talking to someone holding Greenwich Labour Party's banner. It's possibly a little unfair on the Lewisham councillors, mayor Steve Bullock and MP Heidi Alexander who have all endorsed this march. But memories of the Labour government's PFI which created Queen Elizabeth Hospital, starting the process which led to this mess, linger long in this, a part of London which has little time for those who try it on.
The numbers on the march are as much a warning to the Labour party as much as the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats. Are any of them listening?

Greenwich Foot Tunnel joins Facebook
With work still at a standstill at Greenwich Foot Tunnel, Greenwich Cyclists has set up a Facebook page to collect people's experience of the stricken Thames crossing, laid low by a botched refurbishment scheme. Whether you're on bike or on foot, I'm sure they'd be grateful to hear of your experiences. Expect to see it full of gripes about berks riding bikes through the tunnel in three, two, one…
There's still no news from the council on who is leading its inquiry into the screwed-up revamp, which has burned its way through an £11.5m government grant, with council tax-payers footing the bill for the rest.
Greenwich councillors sceptical over Lewisham A&E plans
It was a night when the questions were better than the answers. About 30 demonstrators gathered to greet NHS administrator Matthew Kershaw when he arrived at Woolwich Town Hall on Thursday to take questions from a group of Greenwich councillors about his plans to revamp south-east London's NHS, including the downgrading of Lewisham Hospital's A&E to an "urgent care centre". He turned up late – stuck in traffic crossing Blackheath – and may have missed them.
I had hoped to be able to give you audio from the meeting, but unfortunately, the notorious acoustics in committee room 4/5 has defeated me – people rarely speak into microphone properly and the speakers in the public area are set at a whisper level. (Update: There is now audio, see the foot of this post.) But I can show you the video shown to the healthcare scrutiny panel before the meeting. Get ready to tick off the cliches.
There was half an hour given over to public questions – some were pertinent, some were time-wasting, like the woman from an organisation called Greenwich Link who rambled on about bringing back women-only hospitals. Well, thanks for that. Others voiced dissatisfaction with publicity and the consultation process – it appears the TSA website has had 12,500 unique visitors since it launched last month, which Kershaw's team seemed pleased with, yet seems rather low to me (it's probably about as much as this site gets).
Chair Janet Gillman, who happens to be one of my local councillors, asked if there was any chance the consultation would be extended – a call echoed by Bromley Council – but Kershaw indicated there wasn't.
There were also concerns that the administrator hadn't taken into account the rise in population in Greenwich borough, which weren't fully allayed, while Kershaw claimed that local council leaders "fully understood the aspirations" of his report, which may be news to Lewisham mayor Sir Steve Bullock.
When it was the councillors' turn to ask questions, plenty did themselves proud. That said, Conservative Mandy Brinkhurst earned her additional cash for sitting on a scrutiny panel by asking no questions at all.
By contrast, Labour's Danny Thorpe, Barbara Barwick and Clare Morris all expressed concern about the effects of the downgrading of Lewisham A&E on the already-overstretched Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Barbara Barwick was to the point, but Danny Thorpe put it best: "I'm amazed nobody's mentioned transport – it's appropriate you were late," he told Kershaw. "It's very difficult to believe your distance figures are true."
But whatever the truth of the figures, Kershaw said everybody within south-east London would be within 30 minutes by blue-light of an accident and emergency department – which, apparently, is the London standard. "Care starts the minute an ambulance driver arrives," he said, noting the improvements in the care paramedics can offer.
Thorpe also brought up the appointment of Lewisham Healthcare's chief executive to work on a merger with QEH – before the consultation has even finished. Kershaw denied it was a "pre-emptive decision". "We need to do planning now on the work done so far, and Tim Higginson has been asked to provide a work plan for the future."
It was Barbara Barwick that started to really home in on the point. If someone turned up at Lewisham after suffering a heart attack, she said, what would happen to them?
Already, Kershaw said, people with heart attacks would be taken to King's College Hospital in Camberwell or Princess Royal Hospital in Farnborough – Lewisham had stopped specialising in heart attacks and strokes some time ago.
"The way emergency care is delivered in London now," he continued, "people aren't taken to the nearest hospital to get the best services." He cited the case of Fabrice Muamba, the Bolton footballer who collapsed at Tottenham earlier this year but was taken to the London Chest Hospital at Bethnal Green, bypassing two closer hospitals (although I always thought that was at the behest of the doctor who happened to be watching the match and dashed onto the pitch at White Hart Lane.)
"It does mean some people will be carried further, but on balance we think that's the right thing to do."
Charlton councillor Allan MacCarthy reminded Kershaw of how slow the bus network is in south London. "I had a constituent who took a bus to an appointment at Lewisham Hospital, but never made it because the bus was stuck in traffic." Kershaw waffled his way through a response.
It's clear he has a job to do, within limited, politically-defined boundaries – one questioner asked why south-east London was suffering when the NHS in London as a whole enjoys a £250 million surplus.
But the reality of life as we know it in south-east London, with clogged up streets and slow journey times; together with how many people find Queen Elizabeth Hospital; overcrowded, understaffed, and in a mess, does not tally with the shiny promises in his report. There were pledges to reorganise the way QEH's A&E is run, but they were short on detail.
It was suggested that when the A&E at Guy's Hospital in Southwark closed in 1999, it only took a couple of months for people to adjust to using St Thomas's in Lambeth. Yet the two hospitals are barely a couple of miles apart – nothing like the lengthy, bus-changing terrain that separates Lewisham and QEH (or King's).
Indeed, even those who seem to be agreeing with the general thrust of his comments think that Kershaw isn't arguing his case properly. Greenwich's cabinet member for health, John Fahy, observed that few people seemed to know the difference between an "urgent care centre" and accident and emergency; indeed, it's possible to argue that things won't change a great deal for users of Lewisham Hospital.
But the focus on finance (which is what Kershaw is paid to do), together with the rushed consultation, means that the real experience of hospital users is neglected – and sparks suspicions about there being a more sinister endgame for users of Lewisham Hospital.
Backbench Labour councillors in Greenwich may be be sceptical about the plans, but regular readers of this site will know that nobody even breaks wind in the "royal" borough without the say-so of leader Chris Roberts. And it turns out we've been here before.
Roberts ally Mick Hayes referred to Greenwich's support for the little-publicised A Picture of Health review from 2009, which was never fully implemented, but led to the closure of A&E at Queen Mary's in Sidcup – leaving Bexley borough residents to have to go to QEH or distant Darenth Valley Hospital in Kent. Will Greenwich's Labour leadership listen to its backbenchers' concerns this time, or will it back the downgrading of a second neighbouring borough's hospital? We'll have to wait and see.
There's a different viewpoint from the meeting at Clare's diary, and different sides to the argument at the TSA website and Save Lewisham Hospital. There are also public meetings, including tonight (organised by Greenwich Council) at Woolwich Town Hall.
(Tuesday 1am update: Brockley councillor Vicky Foxcroft reports the Labour group on Lewisham Council has donated £500 to the Save Lewisham Hospital campaign. Will there be an equivalent donation from their comrades in Greenwich?)
Friday, 10pm update: Thanks to Clare, here's the (very quiet) audio from last Thursday's meeting.

Normally, when a client attempts to make a secure connection, it inspects the server's certificate to verify if the client should trust the server. If the certificate was issued by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) for the kind of connection the client is attempting, then the connection goes forward and the client doesn't prompt the user to make a decision. However, if the server's certificate is self-signed or comes from a CA that the client doesn't explicitly trust, then the client will prompt the user to verify continuing the connection. Agreeing creates a "trust exception," because you are setting an exception to what is normally an untrusted certificate.
iOS versions earlier than iOS 4.2 stored trust exceptions on a per-certificate basis, which means that each certificate had a trust exception set against it; however, in iOS 4.2, exceptions are maintained per host.
Normally this poses no issue, but if the server uses multiple certificates for different services, the client will prompt you to trust each certificate each time it connects. This can become an issue when connecting through Microsoft's Forefront TMG 2010 gateway if SSL Inspection is enabled. This feature dynamically generates certificates for each secure service a client attempts to use; however, since all of the certificates come from the same host, iOS will prompt you to accept each certificate for each connection attempt. If you had over 80 new email messages over ActiveSync connecting through a Forefront TMG server, then you would be prompted for 80 trust exceptions.
This issue is resolved in iOS 4.2.5 and later; the previous behavior has been restored. iOS 4.2 clients unable to upgrade to iOS 4.3 should follow Microsoft's best practices for Forefront TMG and install the Root Certificate Authority (CA) certificate on the iOS 4.2 device. This allows the device to trust each of the dynamically generated server certificates Forefront server creates as part of SSL Inspection so the client will not prompt you. Learn Microsoft's best practices for managing certificates when using SSL Inspection on their website.

A Mobility Analysis of the Closed Box and Reflex Loudspeaker Enclosures
When the mobility circuit analogy is applied to the case of a loudspeaker mounted in an enclosure, some interesting circumstances exist which allow for a complete simplified analysis of the system. Also, because of the many Q factors involved, some clarification is needed for a better understanding of what the pertinent factors are.

This was a busy weekend for many of us, especially here in Wausau where we had the Balloon Rally and Glow, Chalkfest, and Junior World Slalom Championships. Naturally, we're wanting some time to recover from those events but with Monday morning here, there's no time for dragging on. It's time for your Monday morning motivation.
Kick start your Monday off with a work out at the park, perhaps even brave the park bench. YMCA Boot Camp Instructor Vickie Christianson says the going out for an early run on a summer morning is the perfect was to kick start that energy level; she recommends getting involved in local races to serve as an extra push to stay fit and set fitness goals.
If you have an extra pack on hand, you can also bring along your free weights to balance the cardio with strength training. By using your surroundings, like a park bench for instance, you can do simple exercises like tricep dips to help sculpt your muscles in a nontraditional way.
For your dose of Monday morning motivation, join us next Monday at 6 a.m. on Sunrise 7.

The Diamondbacks added Brandon Medders' fresh right arm to their bullpen Wednesday and the reinforcement couldn't have been timed better.
To make room for Medders, who had been on the disabled list all season with inflammation in his back, the Diamondbacks optioned Casey Daigle to Triple-A Tucson.
Medders joins a bullpen that has been taxed of late by multiple long outings. The bullpen contributed 13 innings of relief in the team's first three games since Brandon Webb's last start Friday, then had to provide 6 2 /3 innings Tuesday when Russ Ortiz suffered a cramp in his right calf.
"We don't want to cover three (or) four innings, let alone what we had to cover (Tuesday)," Arizona manager Bob Melvin said.
Covering multiple innings has been the norm early this season as only Webb has averaged more than six innings per start.
As a result, in the four days between Webb's two most recent starts, Daigle and Jason Grimsley each threw three times, including an outing each of least two innings. Meanwhile, Juan Cruz threw two-plus innings twice in three days, and Luis Vizcaino threw at least an inning three days in a row.
Even though his most recent major league stint lasted just seven days, Daigle did not disappoint.
He gave up two runs on five hits in 4 2 /3 innings spread across three appearances. Both runs came during 2 2 /3 innings of mop-up duty in his season debut Saturday night.
He struck out four — including Barry Bonds once — and walked none. Melvin's confidence in Daigle was apparent when Daigle was sent to the mound in the seventh inning of a game the team was leading Tuesday night.
He threw a perfect inning and the Diamondbacks went on to a 7-5 win over the Giants.
"Casey's been great," Melvin said. "My feeling is he'll be back up here."
The Diamondbacks will have five of the first 87 picks in the 2006 first-year player draft, Major League Baseball announced. The draft is scheduled for June 6-7.
In addition to the Diamondbacks' own pick (Nos. 11, 55 and 87) in each round, the team was awarded a pair of extra selections due to the departure of Type A free agent Tim Worrell, who signed with the Giants in the offseason. A free agent is designated Type A if he is considered among the top 30 percent of players at his position.
As compensation for the loss of Worrell, the Diamondbacks received a 'sandwich' pick (No. 34 overall) between the first and second rounds and the Giants' third-round pick (No. 86 overall).
The right calf cramp that drove Ortiz out of Tuesday's game is not expected to cause him to miss a start. He's scheduled to throw a routine bullpen session today. . . .
Reliever Terry Mulholland, on the disabled list with left elbow inflammation, is expected to accompany the team on its upcoming road trip. His return is not imminent. . . .
NASCAR driver Casey Mears threw out the ceremonial first pitch before Wednesday's game.

A COMMUNITY plagued by anti-social behaviour is fighting back with mobile CCTV units.
New cameras will be moved to crime hot spots in the fight against vandals, thieves and drug dealers.
Sealand Community Council has dedicated £1,000 to adding two new mobile cameras to its collection of four.
They will be operated by police who will target them on areas experiencing the highest levels of anti-social behaviour.
Councillors believe the eyes in the sky are the answer to deterring petty crime, securing convictions for serious offenders and making residents feel safer.
The Sealand Manor Estate in Garden City was described as a war zone in 2011, amid claims of stones being thrown through windows, burglaries, threats and houses being doused in oil.
One resident told the Leader: "It's a bit like gang warfare if your face doesn't fit.
"There was also a couple of lovely tenants due to move in.
"They came to decorate their house and were intimidated and bullied so didn't move in."
CCTV was installed and Flintshire councillor for Sealand Chris Jones believes it is responsible for a marked improvement.
In May 2011 she called for action in Sandy Lane and Orchard Way where elderly people were living in fear of anti-social youths.
"They're throwing things at the pensioners doors, hedge hopping and knocking on the door and running away. The pensioners are very intimidated by it," she said at the time.
A camera was placed by Sealand Youth Club which is based near a pensioner complex on Orchard Way.
"When we put a camera there it was more of a deterrent for the youths and made the older people feel safer," said Shelley Webb, clerk of Sealand Community Council.
She added: "It's not there to spy on people. We are trying to reassure the older people. We don't want them to feel like prisoners in their own home.
"If you are not doing anything untoward then you won't even notice the cameras are there."
She said Riverside Park was an area that had been hit hard by car vandals.
Ms Webber explained: "The cameras were first used about five years ago when we were having so much trouble in Sealand Manor.
"We bought a camera and a laptop and run by the police.
"Sealand is such a vast area and we do have a few hot spots.
"The police move the cameras to where they are needed.
"Every couple of years we buy a new one to add to our collection of cameras.
"They help police catch criminals, act as a deterrent so we have less petty incidents and they give a feeling of safety and reassurance to everybody."
Inspector Jeff Moses of North Wales Police said: "CCTV is a really good set of eyes placed strategically in areas and often we will see an incident happening in the police control room before it is reported to us by the public.
"It assists in the evidence chain. We can use that footage to put people in front of a court or question them as to their involvement in an incident."
The decision to bring mobile cameras to Sealand comes after police used their existing cameras during the Catherine Gowing murder enquiry.
It is understood footage taken in South Green was used to study traffic to Manor Road, where the Irish vet's remains were later found.

County Mayor Jim Coppinger, left, and Chattanooga Mayor Ron Littlefield.Staff file photos
In an ideal world, Chattanooga Mayor Ron Littlefield and Hamilton County Mayor Jim Coppinger would meet or talk almost daily to keep a mutually cooperative agenda for the county's increasingly bright economic future moving briskly along. The possibility that county residents may soon have to pay a fee to check out materials from the public library, the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Bicentennial Library, suggests that's not the case, never mind the joint ownership of the land on which the city-county library sits.
Rather, talk about a library fee, a minuscule matter, can be seen as a regrettable metaphor for the frayed relationship between our city and county governments. The mayors are stumbling over stobs toward a fight when the county as a whole, infused by new and pending economic growth, should be taking flight.
At one level, the idea of charging county residents who live outside the city of Chattanooga for use of what has always been known as the city-county public library seems petty and small-minded. At another, it reflects the division between the two governments that has taken root since Littlefield's forward-looking proposals for consolidation of some countywide services culminated in the city's decision last month to let a 45-year-old sales tax agreement expire.
Expiration of that agreement was long overdue. It simply transferred $10.5 million of city sales tax revenue to the county's coffers to help fund the city's and county's shared support of two dozen civic agencies. The problem was that the agreement had city taxpayers paying double — first from their municipal sales tax revenue, and then from the countywide property tax that all municipal residents and business in Hamilton County also pay.
County government, to be sure, kicked in a couple of million more dollars to support the services of other valuable civic non-profit agencies that had been added to the list of agencies to be funded under the conceptual umbrella of shared responsibility on which the sales-tax agreement was originally founded.
Even so, city residential and commercial taxpayers still financed 58 percent of the county funding for those agencies through their countywide property tax. The city agreed, however, to keep paying more than $5 million to fully support both the Regional Planning Agency and the city-county library, except for the single branch that lies outside the city — in Collegedale.
Now, it is time for the county government to underwrite the funding for the balance of the costs for the civic agencies. If county officials must now raise the property tax modestly to fulfill the countywide responsibility, it should do so without complaint.
The way county government officials — Mayor Coppinger and several members of the County Commission — have talked angrily about the city's decision to end the sales tax agreement, however, has made it evident that they are not going to give the city — that is, city taxpayers — credit for the value of their continued contribution through their county property taxes.
They've said, for example, that since the city took away the gift of its sales tax to the county, that the civic agencies will have to look to the city for continued funding. This is egregiously unfair. It ignores the core tax equity issue.
City taxpayers have been paying double, while residents of other municipalities, and especially residents of unincorporated areas, have not been paying their fair share of the agencies' support. Chattanooga residents and businesses would continue to pay 58 percent of the burden — well above the city's per capita share — if the county has to raise the countywide property tax rate. Still, the countywide property tax remains the only viable tax source for services that are legitimately countywide.
County government has not raised the county's property tax rate since 2007, and most of that modest 26 cent increase went to the county school system. It's time county officials stepped up to their broad responsibilities for the county health department and the full range of civic agencies that serve the needs of the county's mental health, family and children's services, and the civic and cultural organizations that keep the community strong, vibrant and appealing to new industries. If the county government is ever going to be a truly countywide government, it must, at last, act like it.
Here's the bottom-line: The City decided to pay its share in funding these essential public services, and the County can choose to do the same.
So far, however, the County refuses to listen. When told by the City that the fee collected for distributing sales tax would be enough to cover the cost of funding our essential social services, County Commission Chairman Larry Henry said "I kind of take offense at the city trying to dictate our budget."
But has Chairman Henry listened to the County? Does he realize that the County values the poor and the vulnerable, the marginalized and the uninsured? Does the County Commission care for those most affected by its decisions?
Actions speak louder than words Mr. Chairman, and with the clock ticking on agency funding, we're left waiting for an answer.

Many MCN comments and letters totally fail to acknowledge the vast numbers of cyclists who are very experienced road users, have no problem with motorcyclists who are considerate, and share the same problems of killer pillars, very inexperienced drivers, bullying bus drivers, and all other forms of death passed down through traffic and road layout.
The CTC and other cycling campaign groups are right to be concerned about 200kg of motorbike using the bus lane. The real issue here is not the bicycle user, bus or motorbike, but the road layout.
In many places across Europe, traffic has its place on the highway, some places like Assen, Offenburg or Copenhagen, have very high levels of decent cycle infrastructure and bus services. This is well thought out, clear, and works well. Conflicts as we are debating here is rare. Italy and Paris being an exception!
The real villains are the DfT and TfL.
These rants against cyclists need to stop. Motorcyclists ranting about the minority of idiots on bicycles is as bad as drivers ranting about tw*ts on motor bikes. This bigotry is socially corrosive and will get us nowhere. If you really need to point the finger, point it at the Department of Transport. An out of touch collection of bumbling meddlers who have failed the UK for the last 40 years.
If only two-wheeler pressure groups could unite, then the idiot leading DfT might take some notice.
