Hawaiian Airlines begins selling Beijing tickets
Hawaiian Airlines is starting to sell tickets for its first-ever direct flight to China.
The airline plans to launch nonstop service from Honolulu to Beijing on April 16. It will operate the flight three times a week.
Hawaiian said Tuesday it will fly Airbus A330 airplanes on the route. The airplane seats nearly 300 passengers.
The Hawaii Tourism Authority previously estimated the new service will generate $81 million in annual visitor spending and more than $8 million in tax revenue for Hawaii.
Air China plans to the first airline to fly nonstop between Beijing and Hawaii when it launches direct service from the Chinese capital to Honolulu in January.

The Girl Friend is a musical comedy with music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Lorenz Hart and book by Herbert Fields. This was the longest running show to date for the trio.
ProductionThe Girl Friend opened on Broadway at the Vanderbilt Theatre on March 17, 1926 and closed on December 27, 1926 after 301 performances. Produced by Lew Fields (Herbert's father), staged by John Harwood with musical staging by Jack Haskell, the cast starred Sammy White, Eva Puck and June Cochrane.
PlotA cyclist trains on a wheel connected to a butter churn on his dairy farm. He is in love with the daughter of a professional cyclist. He is urged to enter a six-day race by questionable cycling promoter. Various gamblers try to cause him to lose, but he wins the race and the girl. White and Puck were married and well-known vaudeville performers of the time.

Critical responseReviewers praised the humor, dancing, and the "captivating music." The New York American reviewer wrote: "This WAS music, instead of molasses. There was a ditty called 'The Blue Room' which should be sung to exhaustion".

Solicitor Lisa Gianquitto and Barrister Philip Rule explain the Guittard ruling
In R (Guittard) v Secretary of State for Justice in 2009 the Court found that the Secretary of State (SSJ) failed to exercise his statutory discretion in refusing to conduct an assessment of Mr Guittard's suitability for a transfer to open conditions, outside of his parole board review. Mr Guittard was an indeterminate public protection prisoner, who was approaching the expiry of his tariff. The Court said that the SSJ had acted unlawfully by refusing to consider the recategorisation and transfer to open conditions, outside of his parole review. The SSJ was also ordered to consider his suitability for a move to open conditions without delay.
The Judge commented that even though the SSJ had accepted that he had the discretion (authority) to consider the transfer of IPP prisoners to open conditions, without a Parole Board review/recommendation, no-one actually knew about this discretion! A change of policy was therefore required.
Following that judgment the Ministry of Justice adopted some informal criteria for considering a move to open conditions outside the usual parole process. In other words, if the Ministry of Justice felt, after reviewing a case, there was merit in a prisoner moving to open conditions this decision could be made administratively, without the need for a hearing. The criteria were:
1. the parole dossier must contain evidence the prisoner has made significant progress;
2. there must be consensus amongst the reports he/she is suitable and safe for open conditions;
3. there are no areas of concern that would benefit from further exploration at an oral hearing;
4. it is demonstrated in the prisoner's representations that there are clear benefits to transfer immediately.
The SSJ put in place unpublished departmental guidance titled "ISP Transfer to Open Conditions". The guidance adopts criteria for "exceptional" progress justifying such a transfer. These criteria have not been tested in Court as to their reasonableness or legality. The question remains whether the criteria adopted are lawful? Arguably they are not fair criteria for the exercise of the discretion.
The concerns that we have that apply to all Guittard applications include:
(1) Is the unpublished policy consistent with the published policies?
(2) Does the policy adopt an artificially high test and fail to allow proper consideration of the case? The fact that anything may be considered an area of concern is almost inevitably the position when a prisoner is recommended for open conditions by the Board. From experience a failure under this requirement is often cited by the MOJ to refuse an application under Guittard;
(3) Is it logical to set the bar higher than it is for the Parole Board? The Secretary of State refers life sentence and IPP prisoner cases to the Parole Board. Why isn't an application under Guittard decided on the same factors as those under consideration by the Parole Board?
We are also concerned that some applications are not being properly dealt with by the prison authorities and MOJ; individual cases we have experience of do present further problems which will not apply to all prisoners. A successful application under Guittard will mean that a prisoner will not have to go through the daunting prospect of a parole hearing to get to open conditions. This process, without doubt, saves time, money and Parole Board resources. If a prisoner has an unsuccessful application under Guittard this will not impact upon any subsequent parole hearing. It must be remembered that an application under Guittard and an application to the Parole Board run alongside one another.
A prisoner does not need to use the same solicitors for the parole process as the Guittard process as, although they run alongside one another, they are separate and distinct processes. If you feel your case may warrant an application under the Guittard principles, or you have been refused a transfer to open conditions and wish to know whether you can challenge that in court, please contact Lisa Gianquitto, consultant for Carringtons Solicitors who can provide advice and where necessary obtain counsel's opinion to assist you.

Arizona lawmaker proposals per-mile electric-vehicle tax
That's what some Arizona legislators are proposing as a way to raise funds on the backs of those not paying taxes usually associated with fuel purchases.
Arizona Representative Steve Farley is proposing HB #2257, which would tax drivers of electric vehicles as much as 1.43 cents per mile. GreenCarReports.com notes that the Oregon legislature is reviewing a similar plan, while Washington State and Kansas are also looking at special electric-car taxes.
The Arizona proposal isn't exactly onerous – at an average fuel cost of $3.50 a gallon, a driver taxed at 1.43 cents a mile would have to drive about 244 miles to rack up taxes equivalent to a gallon of gas, making the tax about half as costly as the electricity needed to propel a Nissan Leaf.
Still, the proposal marks another effort by some Arizona legislators to take away some incentives for buying electric-drive vehicles. Last month, Arizona repealed an emissions program designed to cut vehicle emissions just one year after it was enacted. Arizona's Clear Cars program, which was approved in 2008, was voted down by a 5-1 margin by the Arizona Governor's Regulatory Review Council, according to CronkiteNewsOnline.com. On top of this, any time a tax based on vehicle miles traveled (VMT) was discussed in the past, people were opposed to the idea.

It is nice to see a report on the MZ Trophy Sport in TCM. It would have been worthwhile to mention the MZ Riders Club in the club contacts.
The web address is www.mzridersclub.com
The Supa Five TS250/1, produced until about 1981, only ever had as standard 6v electrics and the drum front brake. The following ETZ models came with 12v electrics, the disc braked front end, and the auto-lubrication system mentioned in the article. The spares situation is still very good and it would be nice to think your article might encourage the resurrection of a few more. An MZ would make an excellent first project for many thinking about doing a restoration now the supply of British machines forgotten in old barns has almost dried up. Be warned though, MZs grow on you.

Tim O'Brien's "The Things They Carried"
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Author and Viet Nam War veteran Tim O'Brien discussed the parallels between the wars in Viet Nam, Iraq and Afghanistan
Twenty years ago, decades after returning home from his tour in Vietnam, Tim O'Brien authored a book of short stories about a drastically unpopular war. Considered by many to be the fiction counterpart to Michael Herr's Dispatches, O'Brien's fictional account of Vietnam serves as essential reading on the Vietnam experience. As America finds itself deep into two wars, Tim O'Brien joins us to discuss the "story truth" and "happening truth" of what his book says about where we were then and where we find ourselves now.

Retired Snohomish teacher finishes Ironman
SNOHOMISH - When most people near retirement, they think of ways to unwind and catch up on lost past times. Retired Snohomish High School teacher Harry Cornwell went a different direction and unknowingly began gearing up for the greatest physical challenge of his life.
Last November, Cornwell, 64, finished the Florida Ironman Triathlon. The Ironman is commonly known as an ultimate endurance test comprised of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2-mile run (a full marathon). Cornwell began the race at 7 a.m. and finished 16 hours and eight minutes later, just past 11 o'clock at night.
"I was just so glad it was over," Cornwell said of crossing the finish line. By the time his head hit the pillow, it had been nearly 24 hours since he started preparing for the day of the race.
But the November feat didn't come easy. Cornwell started a fitness regimen after retiring in 2006 modeled after a triathlete's training but didn't ever actually think he'd compete in one. After losing 55 pounds and finding himself enjoying the activities, he thought he just might like to do a triathlon — but he had only planned on doing a half Ironman at the most.
He applied for the Hawaii Ironman, somewhat on a lark, and was shocked to learn he was selected to compete from its lottery-style registration.
"I hadn't planned on really doing the full distance, but all of a sudden I was planning on doing the whole thing," Cornwell said. "When you get picked for that, you're one of about 100 people in the world. You're going to get the mega-ball before you win that thing."
The news that he would compete in the daunting race came on tax day 2011. He had from that April to not only qualify for the Hawaii race, which meant completing an official half-Ironman in time (he did in Boise), but he also had to actually begin training for the full Ironman that coming October that he hadn't really planned on ever participating in.
Cornwell, who grew up swimming in Hawaii and California, aced the 2.4-mile swim in time, but didn't complete the bicycle portion fast enough and was disqualified from finishing the race.
"I wasn't as prepared as I needed to be and mentally didn't really know what I got myself into, which affected my ability to execute," Cornwell said.
He wasn't allowed back in the race to even start the running portion.
Instead, he reset his goals. He now had one year to train for another Ironman.
"I didn't finish in Hawaii, but I can do this," Cornwell said he told himself after the race. He wasted no time preparing for the next chance to finish.
He was mostly self-coached until that spring, when he hired personal trainer Mary Gandee from Blue Fire Fitness in Snohomish to help him.
"You have to give a lot of credit to Mary," Cornwell said. "She was very precise with my plans and nutrition," which helped tremendously.
Armed with notes written all over the back of his hands on what and when to eat during the 16-hour race, Cornwell set out on Nov. 3 to beat the Ironman. And beat it he did.
"People can do these things if they want to and if they prepare for them," Cornwell said.
Florida won't be his last Ironman, or his last physical challenge. He said he plans to continue racing as long as he enjoys it.

Group Hopes Training Work Force Will Expand Local Robotics Industry
Community college program designed to build highly skilled workforce for demanding industries.
By Robotics Trends Staff - Filed Mar 04, 2009
A group of colleges and engineering companies in the Pittsburgh area are coming together to sponsor an associate degree program in robotics for local community colleges.
The two year Robotics Engineering Technology degree program is designed to train students with high-school-equivalent educations how to build and maintain robots and embedded systems, without requiring a four-year engineering or computer-science degree.
The program was developed by a group called Robotics Corridor – a consortium of private companies, state government agencies and local colleges. The group's whose goal is to lay the foundations for a robotics industry in southwestern Pennsylvania, by training the workforce and building the technical infrastructure for robotics companies to thrive.
Classes will be offered this fall at three local community colleges, according to Robotics Corridor. A fourth community college will offer the courses starting in 2010.
Graduates will be able to troubleshoot, service and maintain robotic and electronic systems in the automotive, manufacturing, healthcare or other industries that rely on sophisticated electronics, according to an interview in the local Pittsburgh Tribune-Review with Jeff Shumey, an applied engineering and technology professor at California University of Pennsylvania, one of the schools that will offer the program.
Butler County Community College and other schools involved in the program already offer technical programs such as electronics and nanofabrication manufacturing to train students for jobs in IT-dependent manufacturing facilities and other IT-heavy jobs, according to the Tribune-Review.
Credits from the associate-degree program will be transferrable to local four-year schools such as The University of Pittsburgh, Robert Morris University, Youngstown State University and others that helped create the program, which was coordinated through Carnegie Mellon.

text: I'm gonna see Mickey Mouse Saturday 1st December – Ellie's 6th birthday We are awakened by Steven at 3am again. This time instead of getting up Adrian and myself take it in turns to nap and watch Steven who played away a couple of hours with his new safari hat which is turning out to be the buy of the millennium (all 3 years of it so far). At 6.30am I knock on Nanny Lesley's door to offer caffeinated beverages but she already is on her 95th cup of tea thanks to her travel kettle and some teabags borrowed from the food court yesterday. Here I am given the story behind the mysterious turning off toward Old Key West by Big Steve last night. They followed the wrong car. Our car is dark green: they followed a grey one, apparently these colours look the same in the dark. But wait, it gets better. After realising their error and turning round to find the right way home, Big Steve suddenly announces that they have left their camera in The Rainforest Café. So turn around again they do, and head back to Downtown Disney. They enquire at the restaurant but no camera has been turned in. Well that's that they think; the camera has gone. They get back into the car and manage to get back to All Star Movies without further incident. When they get out of the car and start unloading their shopping bags they come across the camera case, which is safely holding their camera. Apparently Steve gave it to Lisa to look after and she put it in the car and instantly forgot she had done that (as she is prone to do) so they went on a wild goose, or camera, chase for nothing. Told you they were not organised. But anyway today is a new day and today is also the day that Ellie turns the big 6. Everybody is up and about: we know this as we can hear Harry out on the balcony/walkway/corridor thing. What is the correct term for that bit that runs along the front of all the rooms? We have to wait before we can enter to present the gifts as Big Steve is…well he's still in his underwear apparently and as I haven't seen my brother in his underwear since he was about 6 I politely decline the offer to enter their room and wait outside until all relevant items of clothing are on. Ellie already has a personal CD player from Mummy and Daddy and a teddy bear from Harry, and a Powerpuff Girls birthday balloon that we managed to smuggle back from Publix yesterday without her seeing. We presented our cards and gifts and managed to convince her that Baby Steven had written in his card himself. Well he did, I just helped him steady the pen a bit. Ellie was thrilled with her Pooh/Piglet nightshirt but her eyes nearly popped right out of her head when she opened the card from Nanny Lesley and Grandad Fred and found dollars inside. Real dollars. Real spending money of her own to buy whatever she wanted with it. And not just a few dollars either: more than a 6-year-old should have but Grandad Fred has a soft spot for Ellie. Big Steve took charge of the money and said that he would have to approve all her purchase choices so that she did not waste it all on popcorn and ice cream. After all this excitement we adjourn to the food court for some breakfast. I can't remember what we had but it may have been a cherry Danish. Steven had a banana that's for sure. On the way back to the rooms Ellie stopped to take some photos of the giant Buzz and Woody with the Barbie disposable camera that Nanny Lesley had found in the duty free shop. She'll now have a fine photo of the Bo Peep figure with, shall we say a less than petite, woman in the foreground who politely chose the exact moment of shutter clicking to go charging in front of Ellie. However, we all found it amusing that Ellie had managed to catch of photo of possibly the largest lady in the resort and accepted her apologies cheerfully before running into the lift giggling. Here we set about the routine battle about whether Ellie or Harry would be the one to press the buttons on the lift. Ellie probably won today because it was her birthday, but some days there were tears shed over who got to press the button. It's a big deal to small children I can tell you; the responsibility of depositing your family members on the correct floor is not one to be taken lightly. We return to our rooms to prepare for the day and agree to meet on the balcony (I don't know the correct term but we always referred to it at the balcony) at 8.15am. I am preparing Steven's essential supplies of bottles, food, nappies, etc, etc when I become aware of a repetitive noise coming from Nanny Lesley's room. Here I should point out that Nanny Lesley's room and our room were actually connecting rooms with the door between them. We never asked for these but were assigned them by the resort. We never used the connecting door as that's where Steven's crib/cot sat. One thing I should point out about the connecting doors is that they greatly reduce the soundproofing between rooms. Any time Steven started crying or making a loud noise, Nanny Lesley could hear it. But I digress. I am hearing this noise over and over again and work out after a short time that the noise is Harry's voice so I go next door to investigate. The door is opened by Ellie and I enter to the following sight. Harry in his shorts, t-shirt, sandals, and new Mickey Mouse cap is running up and down the room along the foot of the beds yelling, "I'm gonna see Mickey Mouse," over and over again. He must have kept this up for at least 10 minutes. Nanny Lesley was just sitting watching him and hoping this would mean he'd be worn out by lunchtime.

Mindfulness follow-up
At the beginning of the year we spoke to Tony Bates about his quest to live his life more mindfully in 2013. Many of you were captivated & inspired by Tony's story & a workshop on mindfullness was organised with Tony & a few or our listeners. Joining Neil in studio this morning is Tony Bates with one of his students, Grainne Bruce. For further information on Tony's organisation to to link below www.headstrong.iehttp://www.rte.ie/radio1/the-john-murray-show/programmes/2013/0425/385617-the-john-murray-show-thursday-25-april-2013/?clipid=1064384

if I had more time to go and edit an audio clip into a convenient package, I'd make it easy for you to hear Democratic congressional candidate Jim Reed explain why the federal government is spending too much money battling marijuana and would be far better off letting states regulate it.
And if some were more lenient than others, he adds, that'd be just fine -- much as Nevada used to allow gambling and it's now spread.
But I don't have that time. Instead, I'll refer you to this interview with a DailyKos.com activist. The pot part starts out around minute 14.
Meanwhile, of course, he agrees with what scientists have to say about climate change, as he discusses right after he talks drug policy.

So the prom ended. I took T home and walked her to her door step. The urge to build on the momentum of the night was building inside. I felt like this was the closest I had been to moving things to another level and wanted to take the chance. As we reached her door, I moved closer, planning to kiss her. But then the incidents in the past flashed in my brain. I thought, "You know, tonight was more than you had ever hoped. There's no need to ruin it." So I aborted the kiss and just gave her a hug. Maybe something would happen in the future, who knows. But in the meantime, I wanted that night to be untainted by heartache. I drove home, and went to sleep with a smile on my face.
In the following weeks, T and I spent more and more time with each other. That thing where you're on the phone watching the same channel as the other person until you went to sleep became a nightly event. Summer came and we were together nearly 24/7. We were basically inseparable. I began to wonder if maybe this was enough. Sure, we weren't physically intimate and there was nothing official whatsoever about our relationship, but it felt like it was enough. I was happy with whatever I could get.
Three weeks into summer though, she went to visit her old home and old friends in Cebu, which is a different island from the one we lived in. I tell you, that was a miserable time. I was like a junkie going through withdrawal. Being without her forced me into keeping a journal to find an outlet for my thoughts. The entries were all basically variations on the theme "I miss her". I wracked up a phone bill during those two weeks which rivaled the National Debt. At that point I stopped fooling myself. I needed to figure out where I stood in her eyes because I needed to either satiate my desires or totally try to forget about it.
She got home and I went to see her as soon as she got in. We went for a drive to a nearby park and sat in the car talking. Now, let me remind you guys that I have absolutely no game. I was born without the genes necessary for having game. My inner playa has like Down Syndrome. So instead of utilizing the quasi romantic moment and the happiness of reunion after a long separation, I went back to my old ways and bluntly laid out how I felt and where I wanted our relationship to go. Buh. Way to go dumbass. After the words came out, I immediately wanted to take them back. I knew how it would work out.
But sometimes the world can surprise you. She told me that she had been thinking the whole time she was away and had apparently missed me as much as I had missed her. She said she wanted to be with me and closed her eyes to kiss me. Things went into slow motion, but my mind raced. "This is it!" I thought. The defining moment of my life. Finally, she wanted to be with me.
What followed was quite possibly the most embarassing moment of my life.
As we leaned in for the kiss, I suddenly stopped and said, "Wait!". She gave me a puzzled look and I began my master plan. I popped a specific CD into my player. Surely she would be unable to escape my brilliant romantic scheme. Out of the car speakers came the sounds of, you guessed it, Chicago's "Hard To Say I'm Sorry", our first dance song. After soaking in the first few notes, I looked at her, gave her my best bedroom eyes and said, "Ok, now."
She blinked a couple times and then spontaneously errupted into hysterical laughter. I swear, I heard a snort in there somewhere. I was befuddled. Where had my master plan gone wrong? It worked in the movies didn't it? What da heck? This went on for a while. She was telling me about how her stomach had started to hurt already. I slumped into my seat and kinda just watched her through scrunched up eyes. Then, she said it.
"Omigod you're such a dork! No wonder I love you"
Now this time, it was me blinking. Did she really say that? Maybe she meant it in the friend, I love you way? The words had barely escaped her lips as her face got serious. Our eyes locked and at that moment I knew that she hadn't meant it in that way. We closed our eyes and both leaned in for the kiss. I'm sure that technically, we must've been terrible since we were both relatively new to this stuff, but it didn't matter. It was amazing. Finally, she was my girl.
(to be continued...)

It's early on a wintry Saturday morning, gray as an undertaker's chin, and I'm trying to steal an extra hour of precious rest. I tore my schnitzel playing touch football last weekend and I need to nurse the injury as long as I possibly can. In fact, they were asking about it after church the other day.
"How's his schnitzel?"
"I hear it might be torn."
Anyway, I'm trying to rest the schnitzel, keep it elevated, reduce the swelling, you know the routine. Lots of luck. For the folks next door are frying up some bacon, the best smell of all time. A smell you could sell on EBay.
"Smoked pork?" I think to myself. "Am I still in L.A.?"
The little guy is in bed next to me. He smells it too. Poor kid, he has seldom smelled something so irresistible and it's messing with his 17 senses. "What's that smell?" he says, like a hound dog sniffing his first bear.
His mother -- my wife -- is always serving crazy hippie food for breakfast: blueberries, yogurt, egg whites, granola. Not bacon. If you slip her 20 bucks, she might lose her morals for a moment and sneak you an actual egg yolk. But bacon? Never.
What a state, California. We have 25 million people, 75 million raccoons and maybe three hogs. If you've ever tried to buy a decent pork chop here, you know just what I'm talking about.
"Go back to sleep," I tell the little guy.
And right away he doesn't. The scent of frying bacon has created a primal stirring in him that sleep will not answer. He dreams of a lot of things -- chocolate waterfalls, dogs that play baseball, skunks that can dunk -- but he has never dreamed of something so wonderful as bacon. I know this, for he is always explaining his dreams to me as if we were both in them together -- like some safari we are recalling later over brandy.
"Can we get up now?"
"I'm hungry."
"Go to sleep."
He puts his head down on the pillow. He blinks twice, inhales the bacon smell, and boomerangs back awake.

Excerpt from 2 Corinthians 4:4-18"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels to show that this all-surpassing power is from God..."Reflection by J. Mary LutiWe are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, but except on All Saints Day, it hovers over us unnoticed. It's like our appendix: we don't need it, so unless it acts up, we don't know it's there, or much care. That's too bad, because unlike our appendix, we need the saints more than we think. Not, as in the Middle Ages, to save us from Hell for a coin or heal our complex ills by the simple application of a left-behind bone. We have politicians and star-power pastors for that.No, we don't need them for magic. We need them for lively conversation about the immense dignity of ordinary life, the incalculable value of everyday intentions to follow Jesus, and the inexplicable power of human haplessness to attract the mercies of God. We need them to confirm for us the secret of holiness behind halos and hymns - drudgery and routine; fleshly weakness and the shame of sin; the need for pardon and the struggle to be ready for grace; the groaning labor to reorder selfish affections towards selfless Love; the foolish choice to hope against hope; and the costly return, day after weary day, to the unlovely neighbor's side, with no one catching any of this stubborn, unremarkable pilgrimage on tape.Faced with intractable fears and exhausting complexities, the world whips out the sensation, the quick fix, and the magic of celebrity. The church's ancient wisdom offers instead "mystic sweet communion with those whose race is won." We have the saints, and if we look carefully, we find that they are us - extraordinary signs that ordinary vulnerability, love and repentance, courage and perseverance still count. For a lot. For everything.Happy All Saints Day, saints of God!PrayerFor all the saints who from their labors rest, who thee by faith before the world confessed, thy name O Jesus, be forever blessed. Alleluia!

or health span should be the focus of much of the next phase of aging research. Such an effort must avoid the simple generalization of health promotion/disease prevention research in middle age to older populations. Instead, it should take into account the special physiological characteristics of the elderly and should focus in particular on such disorders as dementia, incontinence, and falls, which are particularly common and disabling in elderly populations.
Studies of the role of genetics, social, and environmental factors as modifiers of aging: The effects of the aging process itself have been exaggerated; the modifying effects of the individual's genetic background, nutritional status, exercise, personal habits, and psychosocial factors have been underestimated.
The psychological and sociological context of the individual: Interdisciplinary approaches that consider both the influence of the individual's behavior and environment and social interactions and support systems will be crucial. Equally important is the need to explain specific age-related findings.
Expansion of health services delivery research: Many of the issues discussed in this section (e.g., the study of the effectiveness of interventions and the investigation of financing of care) may be implemented by the techniques and mechanisms special to the field of health services delivery. This discipline often serves as the interface between scientific application and political policy decisions affecting the delivery of health care to millions of Americans. Health services delivery research can provide objective information to policymakers, assisting them in developing their programs on a more scientific basis and providing tools for analyzing the usefulness of these programs.
Ethical considerations in the care of the elderly as a research focus: Previous agendas for research on aging have seriously neglected ethical issues, such as the rationing of health care and the provision of care to and the conduct of research on demented and irreversibly ill older persons, especially with regard to the application of life-sustaining technologies.
One of the major scientific challenges for the United States over the next decade will be to enlarge our research capacity in aging so that we gain the knowledge necessary to deal with the health, social, and psychological needs of a rapidly aging society. This plan provides a prioritized and rational blueprint for that research development.

News From the Political World Supports the Study We Wrote About This Morning
In an effort to prove the Weber Shandwick study we wrote about this morning, there have been rude happenings today in the political world.
First, let's go to Michigan, where the word "vagina" caused a firestorm. Because that's what vaginas do?
State Representative Lisa Brown (left) spoke to the Michigan House of Representatives in opposition to an anti-abortion law that would make all abortions illegal, including those where the life of the mother is in danger. Jezebel has some footage from the proceedings, which included a lot of gavel-banging.

Team Cycling Plus – Chris BowlerRob Spedding | Blog, Cycling Plus | no responses | 22/07/2011 12:01pm Team Boardman Cycling Plus will be updating you each week with the highs and lows of their training as part of the team. This week Chris is upping the miles and shedding the pounds…
Chris Bowler Lives: Bracknell, Herts Age: 33 Height: 1.87m Weight: 102kg Rides: Kona Jake, Cervelo S1 Reasons to ride: Lose weight, change my lifestyle, break records! Weaknesses: Pizza, fizzy drinks, training and dieting fads. Goals: Get down to my 'racing' weight (98kg) Finish London to Southend in less than 2.5hrs Season: Get my weight down to 90kgs Ride London to Paris in 2 days Long term: Attempt the BRRA Pembroke to Great Yarmouth men's tandem record Ride from Lisbon to Paris in two weeks
Having ticked my first goal box (get down to 98kg for the summer events get in!) I was looking forward to putting in a decent time at the BHF London to Southend ride last weekend. Of course, if you fail to plan you plan to fail so I booked Mrs Bowler and I into a hotel to make sure I arrived at the start line for 8am fresh and keen.
For future reference, part of planning for success will always include specifics on whether or not the hotel for the night before is next to the 9th floor of a multi-storey car park in East London. Serenaded by alternations of sirens and Saturday insobriety I managed four hours sleep before groggily rolling out for the five miles down to the start.
I can't speak highly enough of the event itself – the route was great; 52 pretty flat miles with two decent hills for interest and the start / finish organisation was second to none. It was a wet ride and there were a fair few elbows and headbutts flying around on the climbs as riders looking for good times levered some room but I'm happy to say I stayed upright all the way through and generated some cash for a great cause to boot!
I'd targeted 2.5 hours so you can imagine my delight when I ticked over the line in 2:29:00. At least, I can imagine the delight I would have felt finishing in 2:29:00. In fact I was miles out – 2:49:00. I can list all the reasons until I'm blue in the face but the clock doesn't lie. I'll be back there next year to take care of that unfinished business.
In the meantime I'm riding every day – especially since the article explaining the results of our tests at Claremont Sports, Medicine and Performance Centre were revealed in the latest issue of Cycling Plus – and I'm looking forward to a weekend of tent touring in the New Forest this weekend. It'll be great to kick back and spin some low gears (assuming the weather holds) without stressing too much about thresholds and zones for a couple of days. I'm still targeting 90kg by the end of September though so I don't have too long to relax. Skinniness, here I come.

Help with BSN Admission @ UIC
- 0Dec 29, '04 by akcarmeanWhere are you from in Illinois? I live in Jacksonville, about 30miles west of Springfield, Illinois. Sorry not familiar with the college's initials. Ask the school directly their program requirements, and make a back up plan just in case. There are many routes that can be taken just need to be looked at.
- 0so what happened? did you get everything in on time? your gpa sounds fine to me. i'm not sure how they choose the students though. let me know if you have questions. if you go there, i'm sure you will have many, and there is no forum like this there to help you find the answers. perhaps i should suggest to people that they join this site...today's my first day on here.
- 0there is a wide variety of people in the program at this time. this is not my first time 'round in college, so i felt old when i started. as i met people in the classes, i found that not everyone is still under the legal drinking age. many are doing the second career thing, wanting to do more. i was surprised how many were married with families. how they are doing it, i'm not so sure. a little more than 10 percent are guys. i have no idea why this is still such a low number. the culture is changing, but very slowly. if you are not 19 with full support from your parents, i would highly recommend going through this program on the three year, part-time track. many of us have had to do this for one reason or another along the way. the program isn't really do-able unless you have absolutely no other commitments. it's hard to wrap my head around what happens when you start that first semester. i'm not trying to scare you away though. it's so so so worth it. nursing needs you. so, do it in three years and you'll be happier. i'm fine with it really. it's just that i wish i knew that in the first place. i was so dissappointed in myself that i couldn't go forward as planned. it's better to do it right the first time. i was in such a rush.
when i applied, it was a last minute, rush around thing. i decided i wanted to go to nursing school, got online to start researching, and found i had to have my application in by friday (it was wednesday) or wait another year. i ran around like a crazy lady, obtaining my recommendations and writing my essay. i drove to uic and turned in my application in person late friday afternoon. i was waitlisted, but i got in and started classes that fall.
p.s. andrea schmoyer is the contact for the undergraduate programs at uic's college of nursing. she's accustomed to answering the kind of questions you probably have at this time regarding applying. she was very friendly the day i ran in there with my application. all i had to do was introduce myself and shake her hand. she is busy though, so i recommend calling for an appointment if you'd actually like to sit down with her and have a conversation.
- 0Feb 2, '05 by dazzle256Quote from MaxsYour GPA sounds good but what about CLC for plan B?I am from Gurnee IL (six flags great america), and also if I were to make different plans the weird thing is, every school has different prerquisites and honestly UIC (university of illinois at chicago) is the only nursing school I can afford. So I don't have plan B. I have asked the school directly and all they tell me is the minimum cumulative GPA is 2.5/4.00 and science is 2.0/4.00 and I have 3.63/4=Cumulative gpa and Science gpa=4.00/4.00. I heard getting accepted to UIC isn't very easy, I heard it's really hard. I meet all their requirements and I have been taking all the classes they required every since. Why are they hard to get into and who are the kind of students who are accepted ? (i.e pharmacy majors who couldn't get accepted to p-school, ex-pre-med students, and etc, with sky rocketing GPA's? or actually people who they're first major was nursing? I don't know anymore.

- 0Feb 3, '05 by medpsychRNYour GPA sounds fantastic. I can't imagine why you would not be accepted at UIC. If for some reason, you're not accepted, you can attend a 2 year school, work at a teaching hospital and go to school. Usually tuition is free if employed full time. Work every weekend (considered full time where I work) and attend school during the week.

Croatian Dairy Farmers protest against the Dukat (Lactalis) Dairy's Dumping Prices
Hamm/Zagreb, 17.02.2012: In Croatia a conflict had been smouldering since the beginning of the year between the dairy farmers and the Lactalis dairy Dukat that escalated last week.
After the Dukat dairy's unilateral announcement of cutting the farm-gate price for milk from the previous 2.67 kuna to 2.3 kuna (about 30 cents) per kilo of raw milk, in January the milk producers of the EMB member organisation HSUPM entered into negotiations with the dairy and the Ministry of Agriculture, but the talks were stopped a few days ago without any result.
Even the previous 2.67 kuna price paid to milk producers by no means covered their costs. These are about 4.09 kuna (52 cents). Yet the dairy is not prepared to revert to the old price, which the producers vehemently demand. Dukat's argument is that the cheap imported milk from Bosnia and Serbia results in the retail price of milk in the supermarket being only 3.90 kuna (51 cents), and so it cannot pay a higher price.
The roughly 14,000 milk producers in Croatia produce 600 million litres of milk a year, which covers only 50% of national demand. The other 50% is imported.
What makes the situation particularly problematical for the milk producers is that the Minister of Agriculture has just cut state support payments by a third. So the farmers are under severe financial pressure from this side, too.
That is why on Thursday, 7 February, milk producers from all over the country drove their tractors to the dairy in Zagreb to organise a warning campaign. For two days between 50 and 100 tractors have been parked in the central car park outside the dairy, where they were then corralled by the police. Although the access roads to the production sites were clear, Dukat used the alleged blockade as an excuse to stop collecting milk from the producers.
Yet the protest seems to be showing initial signs of success. The Police have manifestly withdrawn their strong presence and are now just monitoring the situation, and Dukat announced early today that it was resuming its milk collections.
But scheduled talks with the ministry have since been called off by the official side and the situation still remains very uncertain for the Croatian dairy farmers.
The European Milk Board backs the HSUPM's demand for a cost-covering price and wishes the milk producers good luck and every success for the outcome of the negotiations.

Heat make it 21 straight wins
The Miami Heat had just watched the Super Bowl when Shane Battier delivered a speech that left quite the impression.
Whatever he said that night in Toronto, the Heat sure took off from there.
They haven't come down yet.
LeBron James and Chris Bosh each scored 28 points, and the Heat made it 21 straight wins, beating the Milwaukee Bucks 107-94 on Friday night.
Only three other teams have won 20 in a row in one season, and the Heat now trail just the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers (33) and the 2007-08 Houston Rockets (22) after moving ahead of the 1970-71 Bucks.
The Heat haven't lost since they fell at Indiana on Feb. 1, and they return Sunday to the place where this streak started two days later, back when they were a mediocre road team barely on top of the Eastern Conference standings.
''I think the biggest thing for our team was watching the Super Bowl and getting away from basketball in a sense and just enjoying each other,'' Dwyane Wade said. ''We got the famous speech from Shane Battier and we've been rolling ever since.''
What did Battier say?
''You had to be there,'' Bosh said. ''It was after watching the Super Bowl. It was a good game, we had a great time. I guess the main focus was that you're going to miss me when I'm gone.''
Bosh laughed.
''It was not so much about him,'' he continued. ''He tied in everything. He tied in life to the Super Bowl. It was just everything. It was a good time.''
It's been nothing but good times for the Heat ever since, although there was a scary moment for them in this game.
That was when Wade walked to the locker room with what the team said was a neck strain after crashing to the court in the early going. The Heat overcame that and led by as much as 17 in the third quarter, then withstood a push by the Bucks to keep the streak going.
Bosh hit from all angles and was 12 of 16 in the game, nailing two 3-pointers. He even converted a four-point play that made it 67-53 about five minutes into the third quarter.
James was his usual dominant self, and Wade finished with 20 points as the Heat avenged a loss at Milwaukee in late December. There's a chance these two teams could meet in the first round of the playoffs, and Milwaukee's Brandon Jennings basically said bring it on.
''I still don't take anything back about playing Miami in the first round,'' he said afterward as he kept his eyes on North Carolina State's ACC tournament game. ''I still think we match up well against them. We just had an off night tonight.''
MOST VALUABLEWill LeBron win another one of these? Here's our top 10 MVP candidates.
Ersan Ilyasova led Milwaukee with 26 points and a season-high 17 rebounds. Jennings scored 21 but was 6 of 15 from the field, and the Bucks shot just over 37 percent. Monta Ellis struggled, finishing with seven points after scoring 26 in the previous game at Washington, and the Bucks dropped their third straight.
Larry Sanders got ejected for the second straight game with 2:44 left after he was called for a foul against James and picked up two technicals.
Despite all those issues, the Bucks cut the lead to 85-79 with 8:53 remaining when J.J. Redick nailed a 3 and Ilyasova hit a free throw after Battier got called for a loose ball foul. Battier then answered with a 3 and Bosh hit a runner to get the lead back up to 11 after Ilyasova's 3-pointer rimmed out.
The Heat got a major scare when Wade crashed to the court after Sanders blocked his layup.
He took a shot to the head from Sanders' hip on the follow through and landed hard. Wade stayed down as play went the other way and was tended to for about two minutes underneath the basket after the game was stopped with 7:17 left in the first period.
Wade walked to the locker room and came back out early in the second. He re-entered the game with 7:45 left in the half and quickly hit two free throws and a layup.
WHO SETS THE CURVE?Check out the FOXiest NBA fans and tweet us your photo.
Wade said he was examined for a concussion and never lost consciousness, although his hands went numb for a while because he smacked them when he hit the floor. They were still sore after the game.
James scored 17 in the first half, Bosh added 13 points and the Heat shot just under 54 percent on the way to a 51-42 halftime lead.
James threw down a hard dunk off a spin move late in the first quarter and drove for a one-handed reverse jam along the baseline early in the second. He also nailed several turnaround jumpers even though Marquis Daniels was all over him.
Notes: Sanders blamed his ejection on frustration and seemed to infer that the Heat get preferential treatment from the referees. ''I can imagine it's hard for a referee to ref a Miami Heat game,'' he said. Coach Jim Boylan said he would talk to Sanders about toning down his emotions so he doesn't hurt the team. ... Milwaukee did not attempt a free throw in the first half for the second straight game but wound up hitting 19 of 21 in the second half.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Marc Cerrone (born 24 May 1952, Vitry-sur-Seine, near Paris, France) is a French disco drummer, singer-songwriter and record producer. He is one of the big names from the disco era.
Marc Cerrone has sold over thirty million albums and has often performed in front of hundreds of thousands of people at huge concerts and events such as The 2005 Dance Party Live in Versailles and The 2000 Los Angeles Millenium Célébration where, at the request of the Mayor of Los Angeles, Cerrone staged the initials Hollywood and produced an exceptional opera. Also in 1989, he performed in the concert at Paris's Place de la Concorde for the celebration of the bicentenary of the Revolution in front of more than 600,000 spectators. In 1991 he performed a concert event for the launch of the first satellite TV HD in Japan (Tokyo). He claims, and it is often credited by others, that he was "the first" to put the kick drum (or bass drum) into the foreground of modern dance music.
At the age of 12, he started playing drums and listening to Otis Redding songs. Cerrone's passion for music scared his father, who tried to distract him from his obsession. By the end of the 1960s, he was fascinated by Jimi Hendrix, Carlos Santana and Blood, Sweat & Tears, amongst others.
At the age of 17, he convinced Gilbert Trigano to hire rock bands for his holiday clubs: Club Med (Club Mediterranée). Cerrone became the A&R scout for 40 Club Med vacation villages around the world. His first recordings as a part of Kongas were released on Barclay Records, where he issued his first hit single, "Boom". He is most famous from the Kongas days for "Anikana-O", co-written and produced by Alec R. Costandinos. A remix was done by Tom Moulton for the U.S. release on Salsoul Records. This mix was also used on other international releases.
Based in Paris, Cerrone recorded, composed, and performed his solo debut "Love In C Minor", again with Costandinos. Released on his own Malligator imprint, and distributed by Warner Filipacci in France, it immediately shocked audiences with its controversial cover. It was later released with a new, tamer cover that took flashes of nude women into the background and replaced them with four arms clenched instead for the American release. It also featured a cover version of Los Bravos "Black Is Black" and "Midnite Lady", an instrumental piece. Cotillion Records released the album through Warner distribution in the U.S. The album was released un-edited in Canada, using the original master tapes. This was the final collaboration between Cerrone and the Egyptian-born Costandinos, who went on to create dancefloor hits such as "I've Found Love" by Love & Kisses, and the disco opera re-telling of the story of "Romeo and Juliet".
Cerrone continued using pieces of photographic and audio erotica when he released his second album, Cerrone's Paradise. It was recorded with Raymond Donnez, also known as "Don Ray", as part of his arrangement entourage after parting company with Costandinos. The original French album cover featured a naked model draped over the top of a fridge with a jar of white powder spilled in front of it. The U.S. release featured a photo of Cerrone wearing a Hawaiian shirt.
His third album, Supernature (Cerrone III) sold over eight million albums worldwide. A departure from the lush orchestration with electronic instrumentation added to the mix, it was co-written by Alain Wisniak. The song "Supernature" has a sci-fi theme: it's about the rebellion of mutant creatures — created by scientists to end starvation among mankind — against the humans. It also featured "Sweet Drums", a three-minute-and-ten-second drum breakdown. The original French album cover was again different, having a gatefold opening with nudes in the centre. The music itself was the same.
"Supernature" was used as the theme music to Thames TV's The Kenny Everett Video Show (as well as being danced to by Hot Gossip in the same show), which was shown across the UK.
After the success of Supernature (Cerrone III), Cerrone IV: The Golden Touch Cerrone signed up for management with Steven and Martin Machat. They helped oversee his worldwide career. Steven Machat negotiated a new deal for Cerrone in the US and Canada with Atlantic and CBS outside the US, Canada as well as France. These were major artists deals for that time period. The album got great reviews in the US and Atlantic threw a party in New York City, October 1978 that was one of the largest parties ever thrown for an artist up to that point in time. The Album was another Cerrone U.S. disco chart-topper. Driven by "Je Suis Music", "Look For Love", and the urban-slanted "Rocket In The Pocket", this album showed his fusion attributes, foreshadowing his future releases.
Cerrone then ventured into movie scoring, supplying the music score for Brigade Mondaine, a French film. Alternate mixes of his hits were made, such as "Give Me Love", "Phonic" (originally released as a 12" single on the Crocos label), and "Striptease". The latter was an underground hit, introduced to international audiences through the Disconet subscription service for DJs. It was a key inclusion on "Cerrone by Bob Sinclar".
Cerrone V marked a radical departure for the artist, where he made a full-fledged attempt to become the vocalist. Moving from Cotillion to Atlantic Records in the U.S., "Rock Me" was the first single and, although clubs reacted fairly well, it did not reach the heights of his previous releases. Sonically, it bears a resemblance to "Hot Stuff" by Donna Summer. Recorded in Los Angeles, California with the musicians backing Toto, Cerrone co-wrote "Call Me Tonight" with producer Bob Esty and vocalist/lyricist Michelle Aller.
His sixth album, Cerrone VI, was the first of his albums not to be released in the U.S. and was issued on Malligator and Unidisc in Canada. Unlike his previous albums, this non-rhythmic offering, using new electronic elements such as the Fairlight CMI computer, was more of Cerrone exploring the entire musical landscape. Lyricist Pamela Forrest, a Liverpool-born, Paris-based lyricist, added her magic to the album. The instrumental, Herb Alpert–inspired "Rendezvous" received scattered Adult Contemporary airplay in Canada. Cerrone also returned to the erotic album covers, using an existing Cheyco Leydemann photograph of a bare-breasted blonde in a lawnchair, and inserting himself in the photograph.
In a true return to form, "You Are The One" was the cornerstone of his seventh record. An 11-minute version of "Cherry Tree" remains on the shelf. This album was rumoured to have been recorded twice: first with Stoke-on-Trent, England, native Kay Garner, long the voice of Cerrone's biggest successes; and then with Brown. The version with Garner on the lead vocals has never been released.
As a bridge between Cerrone's seventh and eighth albums, a 12" single, "Tripping On The Moon", was released prior and was a blockbuster import hit. Sung by Kay Garner, and vocally reminiscent in tone of "Supernature", it was never released in North America as a single. It later became a part of Cerrone VIII:Back Track. It was released on John Luongo's Portrait label, distributed by CBS. Although the title track was a mild chart hit in the nightclub, the album's lone bright spot was a re-recording of "Supernature" sung by Montreal-based Nanette Workman. Workman had a 1973 hit with the song "The Queen" on Big Tree Records. A short time thereafter, Canadian born singer Claudja Barry did a cover version of "Trippin'", released on Personal Records.
His ninth album, Your Love Survived, featured male lead vocals other than his own sung by the late Arthur Simms. Simms along with his brother John had also recorded an album entitledJohn & Arthur Simms with Alec R. Costandinos on his Ibis/Casablanca imprint. Pamela Forrest also rejoined the cast, writing lyrics on the album. Re-recordings of hits such as "Give Me Love", "Look For Love", and "Call Me Tonight" were also featured on this double LP set. Key tracks included "Get Your Lovin'" and "Workout".
Another return to form was his tenth album, Where Are You Now?. Sung by American Carole Rowley and released on Malligator in France, Hi-NRG producer and mixer Ian Levine was tabbed to do the mix, prompting a 12" release on the Record Shack label. In 1984, "Club Underworld" was also released as a single, in both France and the United States on Personal Records, with a new mix.
Perhaps the most-interesting Cerrone record that was never to be on a full-length album was his terrific interpretation of "Standing In The Shadows Of Love" intertwined with his own composition "Freak Connection". It was released only in France.
Cerrone's boutique label, Crocos, was the home to a number of independently produced projects. "Africanism" by Kongas, arranged by Don Ray, was an energetic fusion of tribal drum beats and emotive male vocals framed around a cover version of "Gimme Some Lovin'" by Traffic. It was licensed for North American distribution in a deal between Cerrone and Polydor U.S.
Don Ray created a furore with his dance-pop album Garden Of Love, which was written with Cerrone, the entire album is considered a seminal classic. Hits such as "Got To Have Lovin'", "Body & Soul", and "Standing In The Rain" guided the album to #1 Stateside. Rob King, late of Manfred Mann's Earth Band, was the vocalist on the album. The previously mentioned Lene Lovich wrote the lyrics.
Revelacion, a studio act, released two albums: a side-long version of "House Of The Rising Sun" on Crocos (which was also released at almost the same time as Santa Esmeralda's second album) and "Don't Give A Damn", a 16-minute electronic-spiced, downtempo track recalling "Music of Life" on Malligator.
He also produced singles "Tonight The Night" for percussionist Mo Cooper and "Phonic" by Phonic, the latter of which echoes the synth boom that was started by Space's "Magic Fly". A song featuring LaToya Jackson was also issued, entitled "Oops, Oh No".
In 1992 Cerrone's show "Dream" ran on Broadway at The Ed Sullivan Theater.[1]
By the 2000s, Cerrone's European success helped his 2002 hit "Hysteria", and the album become a success. By 2007, he issued the song "Laisser Toucher". It is the lead single from his album Celebrate!, released in early 2008. The second single from the album was "Misunderstanding." Cerrone issued his twentieth album release, Love Ritual on 7 July 2008. The lead single is the title track which preceded the full length album. "Love Ritual" also has a supporting music video. It was quickly followed by the next two singles, "It Had To Be You" and "Tattoo Woman." The single, "Tattoo Woman" with remixes by Jamie Lewis was made available domestically in the U.S. on traxsource.com.
On March 12, 2009 Cerrone released the album "Cerrone by Jamie Lewis" for free on his website.[2] He stated that "music is condemned to be free and that it is necessary to find other solutions to make revenues"[3]
Cerrone also won 5 Grammy Awards, some Golden Globes, awards from Billboard Disco Forum events, and gold and platinum discs.
In the style of one Jean-Michel Jarre of the ' dance music " ", Cerrone organizes regularly big events or 300 000 persons meet around his music.
