Madrid, Spain
King Alfonso XIII opened Madrid's Hotel Ritz by Belmond at the turn of the 20th century as a rival to the Ritz hotels in London and Paris. With its central location between Retiro Park and Teatro de la Zarzuela, and private garden facing the Prado Museum, the property instantly became the see and-be-seen hub of the city, a position it maintains today. All guest rooms and suites are individually designed and furnished with luxurious fabrics and handwoven rugs; the Presidential suites have antique furniture and classic marble bathrooms. The acclaimed Goya restaurant serves Chef Jorge González's French- and Basque-influenced cuisine; perfect for late drinks on a summer evening is the more casual tapas restaurant Terrace and Gardens.
Uniquely situated on the Plaza de Colón, the Gran Meliá Fénix is a reference of the finest in the city´s hotel industry. Its magnificent location in the exclusive Salamanca neighborhood, in the heart of the financial district and surrounded by the famous streets of Serrano, Velázquez, Goya and on the Paseo of la Castellana, allows guests to easily reach the city´s most emblematic attractions. It is only a 10 minute walk from the famous Gran Vía and the most important museums of the city: the Prado, the Reina Sofía and the Thyssen.Since its opening in 1953 the Hotel has welcomed the most prestigious guests including David Beckam, Bill Clinton, Gary Grant or the Beatles on their first visit to the city. Always an example of unsurpassed attention to its guests, currently it incorporates the most contemporary form of understanding to the guest´s experience with its Red Glove Service, new additions, and exclusive spaces dedicated to the most discerning guests such as the new Red Level Lounge.Its famous Suites, with their own terrace and whirlpool, and its new Red Level Club featuring Clarins amenities, Open Bar with Moët Chandon, Nespresso coffee machines and complimentary Wi-Fi Internet connection, makes the Gran Meliá Fénix a landmark of the city.
After an extensive renovation, the Hotel Villa Magna embodies the fashionable side of Madrid. Surrounded by the city's main shopping streets, the hotel has long attracted a stylish crowd, including many famous Hollywood Oscar winners. The classic style blends perfectly with contemporary facilities in this unique place. Villa Magna boasts luxurious rooms and suites in the heart of Madrid.

Oh Little Town of Washington

Oh little town of Washington,
how still we see you lie.
The crap -- a cheap and mean-filled heap --
as silent drones destroy.
In your dark hearts harbored
the everlasting ploy
that hopes and fears of millions here

Obama, born of Oprah,

a sick, destructive clown.
Alas, our dream aborted.Read below the fold...

Nauru remains a nation where laughter rings out in the most unlikely places. They are a most hospitable people and it is impossible to walk more than ten meters without being offered a lift.
The flood of asylum seekers is seemingly unquenchable and Nauru may well have found a new source of income as a buffer zone in Australia's Pacific solution to its refugee problems. Many Nauruans however seem less concerned with the economics involved than with the dimension of human suffering. They have donated piles of used clothes, hats and toys, and a number of families have asked asylum seekers to lunch. Nauru is a most hospitable nation.
The Meneñ Hotel has, for many years, been a place where both locals and guests meet for business and pleasure. It offers facilities of international standards, along with warm island hospitality.
One hundred and nineteen well appointed rooms feature television and video, fridge, and tea and coffee making facilities. The bars and restaurants offer breathtaking ocean views. Anibare Restaurant serves international cuisine, specialising in seafood and the Oriental Restaurant offers Thai, Chinese and Indian dishes.
Indoor and outdoor recreation areas including a gaming room, a swimming pool and all-weather tennis courts, barbecues and gift shops are available. Guests also have access to Nauru's nine hole golf course, deep sea fishing, snorkelling, scuba diving on the reef and island tours of the mined areas.
Conference facilities are available up to 200 people. Courtesy transport from the airport, rental cars, laundry service, secretarial, facsimile and photocopying services can be arranged. Children under twelve are free of charge if sharing a room.
Although Nauru is not a typical tourist destination, Meneñ Hotel ranks among the Pacific's most comfortable hotels.

Nauru is made up
of the raised central plateau surrounded by a fertile coastal fringe. The plateau, known
as "topside", is the site of mining and is for the most part made up of
limestone pinnacles, a truly unique landscape. In contrast, the coast has lush and verdant
vegetation. There are two hotels in Nauru, the recently refurbished Menen Hotel and the
OD-N-Aiwo Hotel. Self-drive cars are available for a daily charge, plus a charge per
kilometre, and taxis are available. The Menen Hotel operates a courtesy airport service.
feasts are popular. The Menen Hotel has two restaurants and a regular barbecue. Reynaldo's
offers excellent Chinese cuisine.
Game Fishing is on the edge in Nauru. The Pacific Island of Nauru is a unique new game fishing hotspot where
exciting pelagic action is often only a five minute boat ride away, the food is great, and the people - warm and hospitable.
Nauruans play a
number of sports. Fishing, scuba diving and snorkelling are popular. Nine holes of golf
and tennis are available. Tours of the mined area are available through the Menen Hotel.
Menen Hotel
boutique has gifts and books. Other stores sell a variety of food and goods. Tobacco and
alcohol are duty free. The Nauru Philatelic Bureau offers a range of sought-after
Philatelic issues of Nauru.
The National Tourism Office has
available Arts & Craft Centre which features
handicrafts both for display and sale. In addition The National Museum features
a variety of photographs from pre-war and post-war years, as well as odd
artifacts from Nauru's history including cooking utensils, etc.

text: Rigon and Massa on test duty at Silverstone for Ferrari 16 July, 2013 Davide Rigon Getting behind the wheel of the F138 at the Silverstone test will be Davide Rigon and Felipe Massa; the Italian driver, who has been on the books at the Scuderia since 2011, will take to the track on all three days, vacating the cockpit for Massa only on Friday morning, when the Brazilian will be able to assess the new Pirelli compounds. The team has taken this decision so that Davide will be able to work on the technical development of the car, while also giving useful cockpit time to Felipe, who is keen to get back on track after his rather short German GP. Race drivers have been given a dispensation by the FIA to drive at this test, as a result of the tyre problems that occurred at Silverstone during the grand prix on 30th June. The work programme has been established solely by Pirelli and approved by the FIA, with a fixed number of sets available. (Ferrari) Subbed by AJN.

Antenatal corticosteroids for fetal lung development
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|Celestone Soluspan
How It Works
Betamethasone and dexamethasone cause an immature fetus's lungs to produce a compound called surfactant. A full-term baby's lungs naturally produce surfactant, which lubricates the lining of the air sacs within the lungs. This allows the inner surfaces of the air sacs to slide against one another without sticking during breathing. Premature infants whose lungs have begun producing surfactant have an improved ability to breathe on their own, or with less respiratory treatment, after birth.
When preterm birth between 24 and 34 weeks of pregnancy (gestation) is expected within 7 days, betamethasone or dexamethasone is given to the mother in order to affect the fetus. Betamethasone is given in 2 injections, 24 hours apart. Dexamethasone is given every 12 hours for 4 doses.
If delivery does not occur within 7 days of treatment, the injections should not be repeated.
Why It Is Used
Betamethasone and dexamethasone are corticosteroids, also called glucocorticoids, that are given before birth (antenatally) to speed up a preterm fetus's lung development. Either is used when a mother is in preterm labor and birth may occur in 24 to 48 hours. This helps prevent respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and related complications following premature birth.
Many infants born at 33 to 34 weeks' gestation have sufficient lung maturity to breathe on their own. But considering the low-risk, high-benefit nature of this treatment, corticosteroids are typically used up to 34 weeks of pregnancy.
How Well It Works
There is strong evidence that a single course of corticosteroid medicine given to the mother during premature labor improves the outcome for the infant born between 24 and 34 weeks' gestation.1
Betamethasone or dexamethasone is most effective if delivery occurs at least 24 hours after the first dose of the medicine has been given and less than 7 days after the last dose of the medicine.
Either medicine will benefit a premature newborn by lowering the risk of:
- Breathing problems (respiratory distress syndrome) after birth.
- Bleeding in the brain (intraventricular hemorrhage).
- Intestinal infection (necrotizing enterocolitis).
- Death.
Side Effects
Corticosteroid side effects that might affect the mother can include fluid retention and increased blood pressure. But these are short-term side effects and less likely to occur at all during such a short period of treatment. These side effects are more of a concern during long-term treatment for other health problems.
Control of diabetes may be more difficult in pregnant women when corticosteroids are used. Your doctor may recommend a different insulin dose during this time.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Fetal lung maturity testing (using amniotic fluid collected through amniocentesis) is sometimes used to determine whether antenatal corticosteroid treatment is necessary.
Repeat courses of corticosteroids given before birth are not recommended.2 They may cause long-term effects on the growing child.3

CHARLOTTE – Winter does not officially begin for another three weeks but Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools are already preparing for bad weather.
In the past, the district canceled schools during winter storms even though the entire district may not be impacted by the weather. The district unveiled a new plan Wednesday that they hope will keep kids in school and help parents avoid having to look for babysitters.
Up until now, during bad weather Charlotte Mecklenburg schools had two options, to stay open or close.
"We just had too many buses and too many students riding buses," Superintendent Dr. Peter Gorman said. "We couldn't make it fit and work, now we can."
Cuts in transportation this year means buses don't have to travel as far, which now adds a third option, a two hour delay. Already used in surrounding districts, it allows more time for conditions to improve before buses hit the road. It also reduces the need for make-up days.
"If we see conditions that are adverse at 4:30 (a.m.), we're confident by the time buses roll two hours later that it would be safe. We now have the opportunity to do that," Guy Chamberlain, CMS Associate Superintendent for Auxiliary Services, said.
While snow days are often fun for students, they can be difficult for working parents who have to figure out childcare on short notice. While under a two hour delay parents won't have to find childcare for the entire day. However, some say it could still cause some hardships.
"Especially for parents that have to be at work at a certain time, that means they're going to have to make other arrangements to get their kids to the bus area," caretaker Margaret McMichael said.
That's why the district unveiling the option early, so parents can plan ahead.
"I do want to stress that if we're going to err, we're going to err on the side of caution," Chamberlain said. While it's a new option, district leaders stress that closing schools will continue to be considered as well.

On Friday, June 24, staff from the Government Accountability Office (GAO), who are conducting a study of drug shortages, interviewed ASA President Mark A. Warner, M.D., ASA Vice President of Scientific Affairs Arnold J. Berry, M.D., M.P.H., and ASA staff. Senators Blumenthal (D-CT), Casey (D-PA), and Harkin (D-IA) requested the GAO investigate drug shortages. At ASA's 2011 Legislative Conference, Senator Blumenthal announced that the GAO had agreed to open an investigation.
The interview provided ASA with an opportunity to outline the impact the drug shortages are having on patients as well as the increased cost to the healthcare system. ASA was able to outline some of the potential causes of the drug shortages as well as recommend some actions that might help alleviate drug shortages.
"Dr. Arnold Berry, our Washington staff members, and I greatly appreciated the opportunity to discuss with GAO staff the negative impact these shortages are having on patients across the United States," said ASA President Mark A. Warner, M.D. "The GAO's willingness to meet with the ASA is a testament to the great work ASA members and staff are performing in attempting to find remedies to the growing number of drug shortages. I believe this GAO investigation will move us closer to alleviating these drug shortages that are harming patients and increasing healthcare costs."
The GAO report is expected to be published this fall.

Vegetarianism and Diabetes: Do the Two Mix? (Part 3)
Amy Campbell
November 6, 2006
Over the past couple of weeks, we've been taking a closer look at vegetarian eating. The purpose of these entries hasn't necessarily been to persuade you to convert, but to show you the benefits of eating a plant-based diet—if not every day, then at least a few days a week. As we wrap up with the final part of our series, we'll take a closer look at a few of the nutrition considerations that come with vegetarianism.
Remember that vegetarian eating can lower the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and certain types of cancer. Vegetarians tend to have a lower body-mass index (BMI) and may have lower rates of osteoporosis, gout, and kidney stones. But before you take the plunge, consider meeting with a dietitian to help you plan a strategy. And be sure to think about the following nutrients, some of which can be lacking in a vegetarian diet if it isn't carefully planned out.
Carbohydrate. Plant-based diets are higher in carbohydrate than more traditional diets. While some of this carbohydrate comes from dietary fiber, the fact is that if you adopt a vegetarian diet, you'll probably end up eating more carbohydrate (from grains and legumes, for example) than you normally do. This, in turn, may cause a rise in blood glucose levels. Be sure to monitor your blood glucose levels and count your carbohydrate grams carefully. If you take insulin, you can typically subtract out the fiber from your total carbohydrate intake. And remember to fit physical activity into your diabetes management plan, which can help counteract higher blood glucose levels.
Protein. Most people in the United States get more than enough protein, so it's highly unlikely that you won't get enough following a vegetarian diet. A balanced vegetarian meal plan will include protein from legumes (such as chickpeas, lentils, and black beans), nuts, seeds, some grains, and soy-based foods like tofu, soy burgers, soy hot dogs, and soy milk. And if you include milk and eggs in your eating plan, you'll get plenty of protein.
Vitamin B12. Vegetarian diets can be low in vitamin B12, a vitamin found primarily in animal foods. Enriched cereals and fortified vegetarian foods may contain vitamin B12, but it's not a bad idea to take a multivitamin supplement as a safeguard.
Vitamin D. Foods are typically low in vitamin D unless they are fortified. Milk, some cereals, and some brands of soy milk are fortified with vitamin D. Your body makes vitamin D when you go out into the sunshine, although several factors (including a person's location and the season) affect how much can be produced. Again, taking a multivitamin supplement that contains vitamin D is a good idea.
Iron. Most high-iron foods are animal foods. However, iron is available from legumes, enriched cereals, whole grains, dried fruit, and dark green, leafy vegetables. Because vitamin C helps the body absorb iron, eat foods that are a good source of vitamin C, such as citrus fruits, strawberries, and tomatoes, along with high-iron foods. Don't take iron supplements unless your health-care provider advises you to do so.
Calcium. While milk and yogurt are prime sources of calcium, you can get calcium from green vegetables, legumes, tofu, and fortified orange juice or soy milk. Women need a little more calcium than men, so if you think you're not getting enough from food, you may need to take a calcium supplement.
Finally, if you're scratching your head wondering what you'd be eating on a vegetarian meal plan, rest assured that there are plenty of choices. Stir-fry dishes, vegetarian chili, bean enchiladas, and even macaroni and cheese are just a sampling of possibilities. Enjoy! And for more information on vegetarianism, check out the Vegetarian Resource Group's Web site, www.vrg.org.

More than nine million children under the age of 19 lack health coverage that is vitally important for ensuring that every child has a healthy start.
The UCC Justice and Witness Ministries continues to work for reauthorization of the State Children's Health Insurance Program, SCHIP to address the need for access for all children to quality health care that their families can afford. We all suffer when our children's lives are jeopardized by poor health and when some lack access to the medical care all of us should be able to expect.
The Justice and Witness Ministries Health Care Justice page addresses the issue of quality health care for all Americans, including children.
God Is Still Speaking About Children, a short UCC Children's Table resource, lifts up issues around children's health coverage, among other children's justice concerns.
Several national agencies provide resources for advocates working for health coverage for all children.
The United Church of Christ actively supports efforts to discourage tobacco use by young people. We have been active in the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.

1. Sign up for a free account on GameThrive.com
2. If you're developing your game for iOS, follow the directions to make your application certificate push compatible here. You should start with your development certificate, but don't forget to make your Production certificate push compatible too before releasing your game.
3. If you're releasing your game on Android, follow the directions to generate a push notification key and project number here.
4. Update the
build.settings file in the Corona project folder to contain the following inside of
settings = {.
plugins =
["plugin.GameThrivePushNotifications"] =
publisherId = "com.gamethrive",
["plugin.google.play.services"] =
publisherId = "com.coronalabs",
supportedPlatforms = { android=true },
If your game is for iOS also add the following line inside of 'plist = {' in
UIBackgroundModes = {"remote-notification"},
5. At the top of
main.lua, place the following code.

The F150 is the best selling vehicle (of any kind) in the US. The Harley-Davidson model takes the F150 Crew Cab and adds a Supercharged 5.4 L Triton V8 Engine and gives it a real macho personality that lets this workhorse truck stand out from the crowd. At low speed, the brawny V8 exhaust burble sounds just right, but the real fun comes when you stab the gas and listen to the supercharger drown out all other sounds with its banshee-like scream as you rocket down the highway.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Recap: The 'Attack Teresa Show,' Live Onstage!
I'm going to be recapping these season-ending reunion shows for Andrea while she's on vacation. Since Andy pointed out the theme of this season is loyalty, I feel it's only right to try to sway you over to my side by telling you that I went on a frantic binge of watching The Real Housewives of New Jersey over the past two days to catch up in time for tonight's episode; I'm sure Andrea has never done this for you, which makes me the recap princess. Also, Andrea learned all about recapping from me, along with everything she knows about house flipping.
This season's reunion is at the Count Basie theater in Red Bank, New Jersey. It's a grander setting than past reunion shows, one in which it's conceivable that Max Weinberg might just start jamming out in the background. No one's going to get this reference, but here goes: When I was little, I was obsessed with Family Circus comics, and the only way you could tell the difference between Jeffy and Billy was because Jeffy's hair had little wavy lines while Billy's was just smooth. Andy's hair was pulling a Jeffy tonight, slightly longer in that way that some guys' hair doesn't actually grow down but out. It still looked good, of course, because he knows what he's doing, and my very current and perfect Family Circus comparison holds up especially well considering he was sitting next to Teresa, who was wearing her hair as straight as a board. Or straight as a whistle: Thanks to her, we now know we can cram any analogy we like into that instrument.
The seating had Kathy and Teresa on one side, and Caroline and Melissa on the other, with an absent Jacqueline leaving a gap like Juicy Joe's knocked-out tooth. Something big went down the night before that no one can talk about yet, but it was enough to have turned both Jacqueline and Caroline against Teresa "for good." "She's in a bad place emotionally," says Caroline. "She couldn't come here and look at [Teresa]." At that, everyone turns to look at Teresa and that is pretty much the position they stay in for the rest of the hour. The powers that be have obviously decided that she has enough villain in her to last for another season, but I'm skeptical. I just keep picturing a tube of toothpaste that's a week past the point that you were able to squeeze a proper amount of paste out of it, but you keep forgetting to go to Duane Reade and buy more, and so you keep trying to squeeze the last little dregs out, using your teeth, scissors maybe, sometimes applying too much pressure and so what you've squeezed out lands on the floor
We start the show where we left off, with the cookbook. Melissa confirms that the sister-in-law dig was about her (because the suspense was killing us on that one), and then gives us a little gift by revealing that Teresa tried to persuade her from doing the show by telling her that people would make fun of her "huge forehead." At the word forehead, the friend with whom I was watching stiffened and leaned forward in her chair. "That's weird," she said, "because I've always found Teresa's forehead to be freakishly small." It turns out Teresa has, too. She hates her forehead. Wants it to die. Or at the very least she wants Melissa to suffer from the same feelings of forehead inadequacy that she has been forced to suffer through herself.
Andy tries to steer the conversation over to the "Christening Heard Around the World," where it briefly lands, but soon enough we are back to Teresa and Melissa fighting. Melissa mentions how Teresa didn't invite Joe to the show's season-two premiere, and Teresa accuses Melissa of being a bad wife because she wasn't constantly checking Teresa's Facebook page. Or something like that. I tell myself that I will only check my own Facebook page for as long as it takes for them to move onto a new topic, but that never really happens, since every topic on tonight's episode revolves around Teresa, which is basically her dream anyway. If she could make a wish that she knew would come true, it would probably look a lot like her onstage at the Count Basie theater, all eyes on her. Andy would be there, except he wouldn't look like himself; he'd look like her, only with a bigger forehead. All the other girls would look like a more proportionately domed version of her, too. Instead of mean questions about her sketchy finances, the Andy-Teresa hybrid would just say "swimsuits" over and over again. This would happen forever, and if anyone tried to stop it, she would banish them to the cornfields.
Back on Earth, though, Teresa is fighting with Caroline, who claims that Teresa told her she didn't want to make up with her brother at all because he was an asshole. Teresa denies it and Caroline keeps repeating, "I am not a liar." There is something dangerous about losing Caroline as an ally (and I mean dangerous in the sense that there are no stakes involved whatsoever, but if there were ). She seems poised to spill all of Teresa's secrets, and you get the sense that there might be a few gems in there (and a whole lot of filler).
Andy does manage to tear the attention away from Teresa long enough to ask Melissa what the hell Joe does for a living, print money in their basement? Melissa certainly takes a while answering, especially considering how she's always going on and on about how busy he is at work. She emphasizes that part again — "He's an extremely hard worker" — and then she says he converts warehouses into condos. There is definitely something undeclared under there.
Of course, this gives Teresa a chance to say that Melissa's Joe learned about house flipping from Juicy. Melissa says her Joe freaks out every time he hears that, and Kathy inserts that Teresa claimed that Kathy learned to bake from her. And then they all go at it again for a while, but really more out of habit than anything else.
By this point, it's clear that we're not going to get anywhere close to the Andy-pushing episode of last season. Andy, meanwhile, is fully trying to push Teresa's buttons now. He brings up the controversial statement about Jewish friends that she made, about how they would've divorced Joe in a second after his money problems set in, and her response is pretty hilarious: "I only said that because I have a Jewish friend who said I would've divorced him in a second." The part of Teresa that makes her a tricky villain is that half the time she is simply playing catch=up. When Andy brings up how she said she wasn't going to be cutting back on the Christmas presents this year, she freely admits she bought her kids an iPod Touch and a toy Mercedes truck. When Andy suggests that a Mercedes truck is still expensive, Teresa shakes her head and says, "Nope. Only $200." She is too confused about exactly which joke is being played on her to connive.
The last ten minutes is the Andy Cohen show. He just keeps hitting them out of the park. He asks Teresa if she and Juicy would've gone to jail if they hadn't declared bankruptcy fraud, and she denies it. His question about when she has to pay the eight million dollars she and Juicy owe is met with a shrug, and he responds, "Well, you should probably look into that, don't you think?" When she mentions rumors of alleged Picasso painting in her house worth $50,000, Andy interjects, "They'd be worth $50 million, and frankly you and Joe wouldn't be able to afford them." I'm feeling the most alert I have all night, and I'm already scheming ways to fix Andy up with Greg so he can be a regular on the show. The problem is, it would mean not fixing him up with another friend I'm convinced he would be perfect for, and I'm afraid my loyalty is going to have to lie with the real people in my life for the moment.

Meet An Endangered Penguin
In this week's Slice of New Orleans Vanessa Bolano goes on rare meet and greet with an endangered animal. It's an experience you can have for yourself beginning Friday at the Audubon Aquarium.
The Audubon Aquarium of the Americas has launched a once-in-a-lifetime, interactive opportunity to have a close-up encounter with an endangered African Blackfooted penguin.
The intimate, hands-on experience grants you total behind the scenes access. It's all called "The Backstage Penguin Pass."
The first stop brings you to the Food Prep Room where all the food for the animals in the aquarium are prepared. There are 32 penguins living at the aquarium that devour about 22lbs of fish a day!
Next stop brings you to a colorful room where you actually get to meet a penguin, learn about it, and ask questions.
"You can see he does have individual feathers and those are packed really tight. There are about 90 per square inch," says David Brandt, "I'll show you how they get that name. Back here, on the bottom on their feet, are solid black. Everybody loves penguins and a lot of people don't know that they've become endangered, so this is another way to sort of enhance that and educate people and maybe get them involved."
The Backstage Penguin Pass lasts about 90 minutes, and visitors also get to take home a penguin painting created during the experience.
The program is available Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at 9am & 1:30pm starting Friday September 28.
The encounter is limited to 6 guests, 4 years of age and above. If you are interested you are encouraged to call and book your experience in advance.
