Providence Hospital Plans $5 Million Emergency Department Expansion
Providence Hospital: Southfield
Tuesday, January 04, 2011
Contact: Brian Taylor, 586-753-0726
Providence Hospital in Southfield is making an investment of $5 million to expand and enhance the hospital's emergency department. The hospital has received the necessary approval from the State of Michigan for the project.
The $5 million project calls for the construction of a 4,055 square foot addition to the emergency department that will house 16 new acute care treatment areas, increasing the number of private treatment bays to 54. The addition will bring the total square footage of the department to nearly 30,000. Also, more than 17,300 square feet of the existing space will be renovated as part of the project.
"Each year we care for more than 60,000 people in our emergency department. This expansion will help enable our doctors and nurses to enhance the already high quality care they provide to our patients," says Dr. Michael Wiemann, Providence Hospital president, and executive vice president, SJPHS West Region.
Construction on the project is slated to begin early this year. In addition, the Providence Health Foundation has embarked on a campaign to raise funds for further upgrades to the department.
For more than 100 years, Providence Hospital has been a premier provider of compassionate and leading edge healthcare in southeastern Michigan. Providence is ranked as one of the nation's top 15 major teaching hospitals by Thomson Reuters, one of the country's leading sources of health care information and research. Providence is a member of St. John Providence Health System, the largest provider of inpatient care in southeast Michigan. SJPHS provides comprehensive prevention, primary care and advanced treatment programs with more than 125 medical centers, and six hospitals spanning five counties.

Cindy Kallet and Grey Larsen in Concert
Saturday, Nov. 1, 8:00 pm
165 McGraw, Cornell Arts Quad, Ithaca
Cindy Kallet and Grey Larsen are accomplished singers, composers, and formidable multi-instrumentalists (guitar, flute, tin whistle, fiddle, mountain dulcimer, melodeon, and concertina) with remarkable solo careers. As a duo, they're beautifully matched on songs and tunes that span traditional Irish, Scandinavian, Renaissance, Appalachian, and contemporary music. It's been five years since they last performed for the Cornell Folk Song Society, and a delight to have them back.
Cindy Kallet's understated skill, intelligence, passion, and droll humor inform the songs that have evolved from her New England life as shanty-singer, clam-shucker, naturalist, parent, and perceptive world-watcher. She is both a realist and dreamer and a gentle protester and comic. Her mesmerizing alto, like the voice of her friend and collaborator Gordon Bok, has a sea-washed honesty. Her music is deep and intricate, clear and soulful. Scott Alarik of the Boston Globe calls her "One of folk music's most respected songwriters…provocative, heartwise, and original…and a brilliant guitarist."
Grey Larsen, flute and tin whistle, has been dazzling listeners since his years with Malcolm Dalglish, Pete Sutherland, and Martin Simpson in the group Metamora. Oberlin-trained, he plays with authenticity and beauty. He has revived the earlier, wilder Irish style of "crooked tunes" with extra beats. Fiddle virtuoso Seamus Connolly of Ireland says it is "Refreshing to hear a true understanding of the soul of traditional Irish music in the playing of an American-born musician."
For those who make music, Kallet has a songbook and Larsen has written the acclaimed Essential Guide to Irish Flute and Tin Whistle, dubbed by the Chieftains' Matt Molloy as required reading "…for anybody interested in getting it right."
$15 advance/$17 door; $3 rebate for members, seniors, teens. Children free. Cornell students $5. Tickets: Ithaca Guitar Works, Autumn Leaves, Greenstar Market, Bound for Glory, online at www.cornellfolksong.org/ and at the door. Info: web or 607-351-1845.

Plastic and rubbish dumped in sea kills whale

• Biologists discover large amounts of plastic and debris in dead whale
Do you have news for us?
Click to contact the newsdesk!
By Frances Leate
A WHALE that was found washed up on the coast of Granada died from swallowing plastic according to scientists.
The ten metre long, 4.5 ton sperm whale was discovered dead on the beach in Castell de Ferro.
The whale was one of several that has been found washed up on the shores of Andalucía and government officials called in experts from Doñana Biology Station to take samples from the animal and find out how it died.
The biologists were shocked to discover 59 pieces of plastic sheeting, of the type used by nearby greenhouses to protect crops, inside the whale.
The animal had ingested nearly 18 kilograms of the material.
It was also discovered that the whale had swallowed nine metres of the kind of rope used to hold the plastic sheets down, as well as two hoses, measuring 4.5 metres.
The plastic had caused one of the whale's stomachs to burst, leaving it dead.
In 2008, the Olive Press launched a campaign to ban plastic bags in an attempt to stop them filling up landfill sites and cause havoc to the environment.
It is thought a single plastic bag can take up to 1,000 years to degrade and in the meantime gets swallowed by whales or caught on the flippers of sea turtles.
As well as the large amounts of plastic discovered in the whale, biologists also discovered two flower pots a spray can and various other pieces of rubbish that had been thoughtlessly dumped into the sea.
Renaud de Stephanis, who led the investigation, said he was shocked and saddened at the discovery.
He said: "I was thinking, 'Who on earth put plastic in here?' The stomach had exploded and the gastric contents had ended up in the abdominal cavity,"
De Stephanis, who spent several summers in Almería, recognized the objects as typical of the greenhouses that cover much of the coast between Murcia and Málaga.
Plastic is a leading cause of death for 250 marine species, including fish, turtles and birds.
It is thought that sperm whales dive as far as 1,000 meters down in search of squid, and that they may mistake plastics for prey or swallow it accidentally.

The plastic greenhouses than blight the Spanish coast should be banned. They are an eyesore and environmentally unacceptable. Farmers never clean or maintain the older structures, leaving them to decay for decades.
March 15th, 2013 2:16 pm
No surprises there, as every self-respecting cateta and campesino knows the rivers and sea were put there by God to chuck rubbish into, if you can't find a handy verge first that is.
March 16th, 2013 10:28 am
It doesn't even need to be dumped directly into the sea – the strong winds we get here will often tear the degraded plastic sheeting from its frames and take it seawards. I agree – the sheeting should be banned. We need to find an alternative to plastic – it is lethal to wildlife – world wide.

And new Invernaderos / Plastic Grrenhouses are still being constructed which means levelling huge areas for them with no thought to wildlife on the land.

Not necessarily coming from Spain!! I'm working in Africa right now and they are throwing absolutely every thing into the sea!! It's awful :-(

Sorry, I sent this message before I finished writing.
I also wonder if the 2.6.20 and 2.6.21 Gentoo-sources kernels have already
been patched with the latest Speakup CVS version.

There were some reported issues using a Dectalk Express hardware

I was just wondering if these patches were included in the

Thank you,

As I opened my eyes for the first time Saturday morning, for once is was not the sleep in my eyes that tried to keep them shut. The beautiful bright sun beams shining through the bedroom window was a beautiful as a diamond shining in shallow pool of water. My phone rings as I stumble trough the room. Hello I say, all I hear is my good friend say "Don't have to work and the boat is hooked up." I cant get dressed fast enough. Got to kiss the wife and kid and out the door I go. But not before remembering to grab the camera. We caught a big cut throat trout and that was it. But man what a great day for a boat ride. Photo's taken by Chris Vessey.

Hello Everyone,
My H has been going thru a mid-life crisis for 2 years now. Learned of his Affair 1 year ago. I was and am still devastated but it is what it is and I need to prepare for a D. Here is my issue.
He still lives with me. I have asked him to leave several time but he hasn't. If and when he leaves the mortgage is $1800, I think I can do it, it will be tight, but I can do it. He says I can have everything and won't fight me. I said no child support if he sticks to that. Kids are 17 and 16 yrs. I have $11k saved, he has $0.
I live in CA. No fault law. I have $100k in 401k and make more $ than he does. He has $30k in 401k. If we divorce, he can take 1/2 my 401k andI may need to pay him alimony. oh and take my saving and some investments I have, about $5k ....WTH???
I have 20 years with this man and 18 were wonderful. He has gained 200 lbs that he lost 5 yrs ago, drinks everyday and avoids me except for a kiss on the cheek at night and one when he leaves for work. NO conversation. He is depressed and refuses to get help for himself. As much as I want to work things out he is making zero effort and I can only take so much.
I don't know if I should let him stay while he pays the house while I work on paying off our timeshare $14k and my credit $5k credit card? Or insist on him leaving. I don't think he will fight me for my $ but I NEVER thought we would be in this situation. The house is not worth what we owe. He owes $5k in credit card and his car payment $15k
He pays the house I pay everything else, utilities, food, cell, car insurance etc. I need a new car no car...soon.
I am afraid once he sees how much living on his own will cost he may fight me.
What to do???

Progenics 1404 Imaging Agent Shows High Accuracy In Detecting Cancer Within The Prostate Gland In Interim Analysis Of Phase 2 Study
TARRYTOWN, N.Y. and SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 30, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq:PGNX), an oncology company focused on the development of innovative approaches to targeting and treating prostate cancer, announced that findings from a Phase 2 study of its PSMA targeted imaging agent, 1404, entitled A Phase 2 Study of 99mTc-Trofolostat (MIP-1404) SPECT/CT to Identify and Localize Prostate Cancer in High-risk Patients Undergoing Radical Prostatectomy (RP) and Extended Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection (ePLND) Compared to Histopathology: An Interim Analysis, were presented today at the meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology's Genitourinary Cancers Symposium
"In this study, our imaging agent, 1404, showed 94% sensitivity and 100% specificity in detecting and imaging cancer in the prostate gland," said Hagop Youssoufian, Executive Vice President, Research and Development. "From this data we can foresee how 1404 might significantly alter the clinical course of a patient's treatment. For example, four men in our phase 2 trial might have avoided a prostatectomy and its inevitable life-changing side effects if our drug had been available to them as a diagnostic prior to that surgery. While this study tested 1404 in men undergoing prostatectomy, we believe it may have utility at other points in the treatment plan as well."
"Today's results demonstrate the potential of our PSMA targeted imaging agent, 1404, to change the course of clinical care in prostate cancer," said Mark R. Baker, CEO of Progenics. "Our imaging agent, which showed a high degree of accuracy, was tested against the gold standard of the histopathology of the patient's prostate gland and lymph nodes following surgery. In its first large scale use, 1404 showed an increased sensitivity and specificity in the detection and imaging of prostate cancer over MRI."A discussion with CEO Mark Baker and Senior Management of these findings will be webcast at 7:00 PM PST/10 PM EST on Thursday, January 30. The live webcast will be available in the Events section of the Progenics website, www.progenics.com. To ensure a timely connection, users should register at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start. An archive of the event will be available for 90 days. About 1404, an imaging compound targeting Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen 1404 is a developmental stage radiopharmaceutical imaging agent that is designed to highlight the expression of distinct proteins by diseased cells. The image created provides the opportunity to "visualize cancer", potentially allowing for improved detection and staging, more precise biopsies, and a targeted treatment plan including active surveillance as a disease management tool. About Prostate Cancer Prostate cancer is the second most common form of cancer affecting men in the United States: an estimated one in six will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in his lifetime. The American Cancer Society estimates that approximately 240,000 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed and about 30,000 men will die of the disease this year, and that approximately 2 million men in the U.S. currently count themselves among prostate cancer survivors.

New car sales in San Diego may be sign of economic turnaround
New car sales in 2012 up 27 percent from 2011
In a possible sign San Diego's economy may be turning around, local auto dealers say they have not seen new car sales this high since 2007.
10News learned San Diego auto dealers sold 123,680 new cars in 2012 -- up 27 percent from 2011 and more than double the expectations. The hottest seller was the Toyota Prius.
"It does show somewhat of an increase in consumer attitudes," said Point Loma Nazarene University business professor Randy Ataide.
Ataide warns new car sales alone are not an accurate economic indicator.
"That is not something that could just be taken at face value, there's more to that story," Ataide said.
Real estate, considered a better indicator, may be behind some people's decision to buy new cars, according to Ataide.
"Many people feel more wealthy when their home prices are stable or growing," said Ataide.
In fact, the media price of a single-family home in San Diego County increased 18 percent in December 2012 over December 2011.
Additionally, San Diego unemployment also dropped from 8.4 percent in November to 8.1 in December.
But even all three signs are not guarantees.
"Yes, it is a more positive forecast than we've made in the last few years, but the risk that we see remains," said Ataide.
Risks including political uncertainty in Washington, D.C., with the debt ceiling, and in Sacramento with the budget.
But the San Diego economy has some unique safety nets, including benefiting from the proximity to Mexico, which is enjoying strength in manufacturing and agriculture.
San Diego also benefits from strong technology and tourism, increasing venture capital and the military.
In fact, the military is San Diego's trump card, as one in four private sector jobs are tied to the military, according to Ataide.
"All of these things work toward making San Diego better than most other cities," said Ataide.
Ataide said defense dollars in the past five years made up the bulk of the construction money being spent in San Diego.
Now, San Diego is starting to see more private spending as the economy appears to improve, Ataide said.

Every fall, I look forward to the arrival of a huge variety of chile peppers at Northwest farmers markets—Poblano, Anaheim, Hatch, Cubanelle, Mesilla, Padron, New Mex Joe, Jalapeno, Crimson Lee, Serrano, Sweet Banana, Hungarian Hot Wax, and Hot Mexican to name a few–along with the gas-fired drum roaster that makes quick work of roasting them.
Mexican Tortilla Soup with Frizzled Tortillas
Over the years, I have eaten this much-lauded soup in every restaurant and café I could find it. I love the concept—toasted chiles, tomatoes, garlic, corn tortillas, and cumin soup base with fried tortillas, avocado, and sour cream embellishments—but not always the execution. Restaurant renditions vary considerably, as do recipes in American Southwest and Mexican cookbooks.
Spicy, Creamy Mulligatawny Soup
Kamut, Kale & Cabbage Soup with Winter Pistou
Creamy Cauliflower Leek Soup with Curried Mustard Croutons
I was walking through the Portland Farmers Market a couple of weeks ago and did a double take on a stack of orange cauliflower. I adore cauliflower (the earthy flavor, the crunchy or creamy texture), and the only nit I can pick with this lovely vegetable is its color. It gets lost on a white plate and looks pallid and unimaginative next to other basic ingredients I love, such as potatoes, rice, pasta, and poultry.
Sweet Carrot Bisque with Umami Pesto
When I was a wee bonnie lass, I tolerated raw carrots, but cooked carrots were the kiss of death to my usually robust appetite. In fact, since MauiJim shares my aversion, I began to experiment tenuously with cooked carrots only recently. I usually saute them quickly or add them at the last minute to preserve their crunchy texture.
However, carrot bisque is an exception. The carrots need to be fully tender in order to liquefy them in a blender. And because they are quite sweet by nature, especially when they are young and freshly dug, I treat them in a similar fashion to yams, sweet potatoes, and butternut squash.
Warm Spiced Red Kuri Squash & Orange Soup with Cinnamon Harissa
Did you have a chance to read the recent post: Eat. Boston. Winter Squash Soup.? I was so inspired by the winter squash soup creations we encountered in Boston in October that I couldn't wait to get back to the OtherWorldly Kitchen to create my own offering to the seasonal gods.
I chose to work with Red Kuri squash because, of all the winter squash, it is the one with which I am least familiar. It's also beautiful au natural and holds its gorgeous orange color when cooked.
Eat. Boston. Winter Squash Soup.
Have you ever set out to eat your way across a city, focusing on a single seasonal dish?
Well, I didn't intend to go on a winter squash soup kick while in Boston in October, but one thing led to another, as the saying goes, and there I was at Sorellina on our last night in Boston eating my 5th winter squash soup.
And here's the thing. I could have continued this lovely madness for another week at least. It is highly instructive to see how top notch culinary artists across a major culinary mecca treat the same basic core ingredients and menu item, in this case, winter squash and a handful of flavor complements crafted into a smooth and silky soup.
Sweet Corn & Poblano Chile Chowder
What I love most about this chowder is its golden yellow hue and full sweet taste of fresh corn just of the cob. Over many summers of fresh corn bounty, I have explored every way imaginable to obtain a more pronounced corn taste in my corn soups, and the method presented here is "numero uno" thus far.
It is also perhaps the easiest method, as it involves pureeing the corn kernels with stock before the cooking begins. Thus, there is no scalding, dripping soup to ladle into a processor. In addition, this method allows for both a puree of corn, corn kernels, and a variety of colorful, perfectly cooked diced vegetables, which really enliven the whole effect.
Kicky Tomato Strawberry Gazpacho
If you've been following along with me this summer, you know I am enthralled with the tomato and strawberry flavor pairing. Earlier, I created Fresh Strawberry-Tomato Dessert Sauce to accompany Heavenly Parmesan Sour Cream Pound Cake. It was a surprise hit. I have to explore at least a couple more strawberry-tomato dishes before the summer season is over.
While pondering what to cook next and flagging from the 90+ degree heat wave that hit Seattle this week, the inevitable happened. I opened the oh-so-wonderfully-cold frig and saw, at eye level, a large bowl of strawberries alongside a large bowl of grape tomatoes, both of which were intended for salad.
Creamy Romaine Soup with Summer Herb Butter & Garlic Croutons
When we are in Portland, Oregon and heading out on foot to dinner in town, Wildwood in the Northwest district is always at the top of our list of fave destinations. It's a lovely mile walk, or if we are feeling exceptionally lazy, we can hop the streetcar almost to the front door. (You might have seen my earlier article on Wildwood titled, Sweet Briar Farms Pork Chop with Bodacious Corn Hush Puppies. Just looking at the photo of that amazing dish makes me go weak at the knees.)
Roasted Garlic & Sunchoke Soup with Rosemary Hazelnut Pesto & Goat Cheese Crèma
The freshly dug sunchokes (also called Jerusalem artichokes) look so tender and crisp in Northwest farmers markets right now, I couldn't resist buying several pounds last week–even though I wasn't sure what I would do with them. My cookbook, Pacific Northwest Palate, Four Seasons of Great Cooking, features a sunchoke pancake, but other than that, I really haven't given this vegetable its fair due over the years.
Smoky Spanish Zarzuela with Chorizo & Emmer Farro
As much as I want to jump onto the spring bandwagon and create plate upon plate of bright, sprightly salads, it's, well, much – too – COLD. So today instead of turning to the beautiful bunches of chickweed, sunflower seed sprouts, and baby arugula that are overflowing the frig, I found myself instead spellbound by two homely little chorizo sausages. I started thinking about their savory, smoky flavor, and the next thing that popped into my mind was HOT SOUP. But not just any hot soup mind you, a Spanish soup called Zarzuela.
Green Chile Chowder with Yellow Finn Potatoes & Italian Kale
We settled into our Portland city digs for a few weeks, and one of the first things we did was hike over to the Portland Farmers Market. To tell you that the market was glorious yesterday morning is to be guilty of careless understatement. It was over-the-top magnificent! Peppers, peppers everywhere, in every color and every shape imaginable, freshly dug potatoes, heaps of various types of kale, a colorful abundance of winter squash, dozens of varieties of apples and pears, wild mushrooms, and the last of 3 varieties of fresh corn. My mind was reeling with the possibilities. But what should I cook?
Roasted Red Bell Pepper Gazpacho
Spicy Cucumber Gazpacho
Heirloom Carrot Soup with Lemon Verbena, Spearmint & Garlic Gremolata
I was about to pass them by but intuition nudged, and I instead asked the obvious question: "What are these?" The vendor replied, "Why these are heirloom carrots of course. And you will never taste a carrot with more complex flavor." Perhaps in response to the skeptical expression on my face, he added, "Don't worry about how they look."
Basic Little Potato & Five Onion Soup
I have tested and retested this soup many times over the years, adjusting the key elements to create a soup with good body and memorable flavor. The onion element, for instance, began as a mere hint of flavor and then expanded, test after test, to a rich depth that fully complements the potato without overwhelming it completely.
Curried Tomato & Red Lentil Soup
Red lentils are wonderful legumes. They look as good as they taste—something of a feat for a member of the legume family. This soup is a casual meal in a bowl, with layers of flavor, heat, and spice—plus a nice balance between the sweetness of the vegetables and the acidity of the lemon juice and sour cream. It tastes best if made a day or two ahead, but we can never wait.
New Year's Day Black Bean Ancho Chili
I tasted my first Black Bean Chili at the venerable Green's vegetarian restaurant in San Francisco many moons ago. It was singularly delicious—an intriguing amalgam of deep, yet clean flavors. Since then, I have created numerous variations on the black bean soup and chili theme. This is the latest and quite possibly the best so far.

Thanks to Your Support, The King Estate Restaurant Is Here to Stay!
This year King Estate faced a surprising challenge to our restaurant's operation. Many of you know first-hand that our restaurant program is built on a firm dedication to support local sustainable agriculture, and it is just one of a great many rising businesses in Oregon's food and wine industry that promote values like organic farming, fair wages, and fostering a vibrant local economy. In many ways the misguided appeal of our restaurant permit was aimed at senselessly undercutting the rising food and wine industry in Oregon.
With your very, very important support, which came in many forms: petition signatures, letters to legislators, blog comments and more, we undertook a major initiative at the Oregon legislature to protect ourselves and like businesses across this great state. As a result, we were not only able to protect our restaurant but we changed the law for the benefit of all wineries, and even paved the way for a few others in the state to establish their own full service restaurants. It was a profound success that began with a collective effort to speak up for common sense, for the future, and for responsible job creation.

BY MELANIE CRUTHIRDS, News Editor
SYDNEY -- The Alaska Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has approved the plan of operations for Buccaneer Energy's 100%-owned West Eagle Unit #1 well.
The company requires several additional approvals before drilling operations commence. A drilling permit must be approved by the Alaskan Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC), which takes approximately 30 days. Bucaneer said it anticipates lodging that application shortly. Additionally, the company's oil spill plan (C-Plan) amendment needs approval by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC). Bucaneer applied for this amendment in March 2013, and it is currently under final review by ADEC.
The company plans to spud the West Eagle #1 well on completion of the Kenai Loop #1-4 well using the Glacier drilling rig, currently on location at Kenai Loop. On completion of the West Eagle #1 well, the Glacier drilling rig will move back to Kenai Loop to continue the Kenai Loop development program.
The Glacier drilling rig was secured by Buccaneer in 2012 for use on its land drilling projects, and will be utilized for the West Eagle prospect due to its lower risk profile and improved economics, when compared with alternative drilling options
The primary objective of the West Eagle #1 well targets a 150-ft Upper Tyonek interval of sandstones that had gas shows in a down-dip offset well. Up-structure, on a northeast-to-southwest trending ridge, the West Eagle well will test a large amplitude anomaly mapped on 233 mi of 2D seismic data. The anomaly size is estimated at more than 4,000 acres.
The West Eagle #1 well will also test a deeper, large stratigraphic pinch-out, which is part of what is often called the East Side Oil Play, made up of basal Tertiary or older potential reservoirs up-dip from a postulated middle Jurassic oil source conduit system. This deeper objective is also amplitude supported.

Chibs couldn't reach Lin or his uncle, so Jax turned his attention to dealing with the Clay mess. Chibs asked Bobby how he thinks this will play out. "I don't know, man. It's hard to unplug when everybody depends on you for the power," he said. Jax phoned the DA and told her he'd give her Galen within the next 48 hours. She had the club's immunity deal drawn up and Tara's plea (community service and fines but no jail time). He said she'd need a lot of firepower to take down Galen and that he'd tell her where to send the men tomorrow. So he's going to send them away from the transport?
Where did Jax want to go on the eve of all hell breaking loose? Colette's. (Loved Chibs' smile upon hearing that.) Sex for everyone, I thought excitedly. But wait, Uncle Lin was tailing them.
The ride to Wendy's could not have been more awkward as Nero tried to make conversation and Unser gave him one word answers. Was that the cancer eating away at the portion of his brain that can hold a conversation? "No, it's eating away at my patience for people I don't give a s--- about," Unser said. Damn! Nero said he usually gives people who talk to him like that a beatdown, but Unser assumed he was getting a pass because of his illness. No. Nero's been dead twice from ODs, opened up three times because of his heart, and has a son with Spina Bifida who probably won't live to see 15 -- Unser's cancer means s--- to him. Nero's trying to make an effort because Gemma loves Unser and he knows how hard that is to earn. Now Unser felt like s---. Friends!
Uncle Lin's crew opened fire on the guys as they rode. Amazingly, no one was hit. Jax eventually had to ride through a gate and fell off his bike. That's when the standoff happened. Correction: That's when Lin's crew quickly surrounded SAMCRO, and SAMCRO put down their weapons and lied on the ground. Jax was able to plead his case: The Irish killed two of his guys and blew up the clubhouse -- they can't control Galen. Uncle Lin knew that. He wasn't there to kill Jax. Now that SAMCRO is getting out of guns, he wants that business. The only way SAMCRO would walk out of that situation was if Jax shut down the Irish pipeline in Northern California and the Chinese took over. (Would August Marks run Lin's guns?) One more thing: Lin needed to know the location of Galen and his next drop to even the score. Jax said lucky for him, there's one tomorrow. Lin took "the crazy looking-one" (that's Happy) with him to keep everyone honest.
Tara had an unpleasant exchange with Juice at the hospital. He was trying to be decent, but she called him an a--hole. So, when she asked, he gave her the address at Diosa where she'd find Jax meeting with his partner, Colette. I'm feeling bad for Tara, but she deserved that one.

By Paul Carbray, For Canwest News Service
They were dancing in Dublin, and there must have been chuckling in Cork and laughter in Lisdoonvarna at the woes of France's entry at the World Cup.
After all, Les Bleus only made it to South Africa after scoring the decisive goal in a playoff with Ireland on Thierry Henry's blatant hand ball, causing the French to supplant the English as the team the Irish love to hate.
So it's a double dose of Irish karma then — France on the verge of a first-round exit from the World Cup after Thursday's 2-0 loss to Mexico, while England is hanging on after an abject performance in a goalless game with Algeria.
France's loss was greeted with ecstasy in Dublin bars, crowded with sombrero-wearing fans clad in the green of Mexico, not Ireland.
The story that got the most hits on the Irish Times website Friday: "French on the brink of humiliating exit."
The Irish Examiner stood for everyone when it wrote: "The Republic of Ireland may not be in South Africa, but supporters of the Boys in Green will have savoured France's defeat to Mexico, a result that leaves Raymond Domenech's side staring at the prospect of saying an early au revoir to the 2010 World Cup.
"Few will shed any tears at their current plight. To add to the delight of those of a bitter disposition, there was more than a hint of controversy about the second-half goal that put Mexico on the road to victory last night. Few will sympathize though, as it seems that was goes around does indeed come around."
Things weren't any better in France, where the deeply strange coach Domenech and his lacklustre players felt the lash of criticism.
And those rumours about unrest on the French team got confirmation during the weekend when petulant striker Nicolas Anelka was sent home early after verbally attacking Domenech during halftime of the Mexico game, then refusing to apologize.
It seems Domenech criticized Anelka for being pulled out of position during the first half, to which the player responded: "Go and f— yourself, you son of a whore."
The coach responded by substituting Anelka at halftime, one of only two substitutions he made during a game in which veteran striker Thierry Henry and playmaking midfielder Yoann Gourcouff were nailed to the bench.
The French players then refused to practise Sunday to show support for Anelka.
There is plenty of reason to criticize the listless Anelka, who hasn't recorded one shot on goal in his last 429 minutes on action for Les Bleus, or almost five games.
Still, it was the lame-duck Domenech, who will be replaced by Laurent Blanc after the World Cup, who got most of the criticism.
For failing to replace Domenech after France's first-round exit from the 2008 European Championship, the sports newspaper L'Équipe suggested the emblem of the French soccer federation "should no longer be the cock, but the headless chicken."
"The ineffectiveness of a team contradicts all the speeches given by Raymond Domenech and the player on their strength of character and their capacity to react," the paper wrote. "France contemplates a field of ruins: its national team.
"The je-m'-en-foutisme (I don't give a damn-ism) is their flag, the only banner this team can carry together. Let's mock Raymond Domenech, so full of himself, overcome by his players' egos."
The last word goes to French captain Patrice Evra, who admits it feels like "France are a small football nation — and it hurts."
"It's a catastrophe, that's all we can say," Evra continued. "We are not a great team."

15 Ways to Show Off Long Hair

There are no international fast food chains here. There is a Sagga Farabella, though, and a mall downtown. There are at least three supermarkets downtown. The air is not polluted here! You won´t cough, and your eyes won´t water! Someone told me that you can pay to use swimming pools here.
Inexpensive and good hostel Hospedaje Caroline (Av. Jr. Callao 446 at Av. Arequipa / telephone 073-308891) is only 13 soles per night for a single, or 70 soles a week!

Dustin Ackley, what the heck happened to you? Weren't you supposed to be a polished hitter, ready for immediate big league success after being taken 2nd overall in the 2009 Entry Draft? Not so much eh? Ackley does have a few things going for him in that he's scored 68 runs (pace of 88) and has 12 steals (pace of 15). Those numbers, when combined with 41 RBIs (pace 53), mark him as a potential middle infield option in deep mixed leagues. However, when you look over and see that .229 batting, that outlook becomes an outdated one. You can't give up on Ackley and what should be a successful career, but it's pretty obvious at this point that he just hasn't been able to put together consistent at-bats in the bigs, and that leaves his fantasy value teetering on the brink of irrelevance in many leagues (he's only owned in 56 percent of leagues at Fleaflicker).
Aaron Cook has made 11 starts this year for the Red Sox, and he's gone 3-7 with a 4.79 ERA and 1.31 WHIP. Clearly the Sox have had issues with their rotation or why would they have bothered to give Cook 11 starts. But that's not my point here. Do you know that in 11 starts Cook has – 11 strikeouts? Eleven. One an outing. One every 5.6 innings or 1.60 per nine. Among pitchers who have thrown at least 60-innings in a season since 1950 that's the 7th worst K/9 mark. George O'Donnell somehow had a 0.83 K/9 mark in 1954 with eight Ks in 87 innings. That was his only season in the big leagues.
The Astros' owner, Jim Crane, is "open" to adding Roger Clemens to the club if the 50 year old proves he still has something left. Why not since the Astros have the worst record in baseball at 39-86, and according to my latest look at their roster they do not have a single player on their current roster making more than $750,000 other than Ben Francisco at $1.537 million. That's embarrassing. How could you possibly be an Astros fan?
The Red Sox have placed Josh Beckett, Jacoby Ellsbury, Adrian Gonzalez and Jon Lester on waivers. It's unlikely any of the trio will be moved, but we have learned that the Dodgers have placed a claim on A-Gone meaning they have 48 hours to see if they can work something out with the Sox. Don't count on that happening.
Albert Pujols' calf issue is improving, and he could be back in action as soon as this weekend for the Angels. That's hugely important to Pujols owners considering that he had hit eight homers and driven in 19 runners in his first 19 games played in August. Who would have thought it, but it seems probable that Pujols will get to 30 homers and 99 RBIs for a 12th straight season. He may not get to .299, the mark he has posted each of his first 11 years, he's at .283 right now, but he has hit .317 since the All-Star break so it's possible that a strong finish could get him up to that mark.
Mike Trout leads baseball with 41 steals, and he's also been caught just four times for a 91 percent success rate, a big time success rate that is hard to maintain from year to year. The only player in baseball with more than 30 steals who has been caught fewer times is Emilio "I can't stay healthy" Bonifacio who has 30 steals in 33 chances. Given that he's played in only 64 games this season, Emilio is on a 160 game pace of 75 thefts, a huge number in this day and age. Speaking of steals, Tony Campana, in limited playing time, has racked up a rather impressive total of 26 steals. I say that because he has appeared in just 70 games with a mere 158 at-bats. Campana is also sporting a pathetic OBP of .299, has knocked in five runs all year, and somehow has scored five less times (21) than he has stolen a base. Amazingly, the mighty mite has just one steal since June 30th which means he has one one theft in roughly two months.
I've spent this article talking about baseball, which obviously isn't at all odd given that this is BaseballGuys.com, but I've got a way that you can, in addition to playing fantasy baseball, also play some fantasy football. How can you do that? You can head over to DailyJoust and sign up for any of the myriad of games they have to offer.

Cliched? Perhaps… but it's November and the weather was in our favour today in Seattle!
I spent some time in the late afternoon at my favourite park in Seattle, Golden Gardens. This is in the Ballard neighbourhood, with views of a marina, the Olympic Mountains, Puget Sound & even a pier for people to fish off of. Even on overcast days, it can be quite a site.
Often you'll find people hanging out in their cars, eating lunch, or just enjoying the view. I sometimes wonder why they don't get out of their cars and walk, it's a nice stroll, even on a day as chilly as today was. But oh well, their loss!
Here's some of the views I took in on my stroll…

3M Increases Dividend 8 Percent And Authorizes $7.5 Billion Share Repurchase Program
The Board of Directors of 3M (NYSE:MMM) today declared a dividend on the company's common stock of 63.5 cents per share for the first quarter of 2013, an 8 percent increase over the quarterly dividend paid in 2012. The dividend is payable on March 12, 2013, to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 15, 2013. This marks the company's 55 th consecutive year of 3M dividend increases, and its 96 th year of continuous dividend payments.
The board also authorized the repurchase of up to $7.5 billion of 3M's outstanding common stock, replacing the company's existing repurchase program. The authorization has no pre-established closing date.
"These actions reflect both our confidence in 3M's future and our commitment to return significant cash to our shareholders," said Inge Thulin, 3M chairman, president and CEO.

The 3M Board of Directors also set March 15, 2013, as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on Tuesday, May 14, 2013.

Leonard Cohen's Triumphant Return
Leonard Cohen is the most nimble 74-year-old man I've ever seen. Last night, at the renovated Beacon Theater in Manhattan, the Canadian singer-songwriter, poet, and novelist danced his way across the first American stage he'd stood on in 15 years. Cohen was even more thrilled to be in New York than the crowd was to see him. Which is saying a lot: people were scalping tickets for over $500 cash outside the theater.
The emotional payload was large for both Cohen and the crowd. Fans were certainly older than your average indie-rock show at the Bowery, but not geriatric by any means. But there were (probably) plenty of people like myself who started listening to Leonard Cohen out of curiosity after hearing the lyrics from Nirvana's "Pennyroyal Tea" in the early 90s. ("Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld," Kurt Cobain sang.)
Ten musicians took the stage last night (including Cohen), the most peculiar of which were three female back-up singers who, at first glance, looked more like a Motown affectation, but who ended up adding a soulful depth to Cohen's songs live. Cohen even addressed the current economic turmoil, saying, "Hard times are coming. Some say even worse than Y2K."
How does a guy who's back in New York please a crowd that hasn't seen him in over a decade? He plays some old songs. Some newer ones. Some favorites. Takes an intermission. Skips back on stage. Gets multiple standing ovations and plays for three full hours taking advantage of the wonderful acoustics of the Beacon. Oh, and he introduces and thanks his band members, twice. Bravo, Mr. Cohen. Lovely having you back.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Could Fall as Population Ages
The elderly may help curb trend because they will fly and drive less, scientists say
THURSDAY, Nov. 10 (HealthDay News) -- An aging population in the United States and other developed countries may eventually lead to reduced emissions of the greenhouse gas known as carbon dioxide (CO2), according to a German scientist.
CO2 is mainly produced by the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, gas and oil in power plants, vehicles and factories, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
In the new study, Emilio Zagheni of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Rostock, Germany, found that the average amount of CO2 produced by a person in the United States increases until about age 65 and then starts to decrease.
As they approach retirement age, Americans produce more CO2 emissions than at any other time in their lives, about 14.9 metric tons per person a year. But that amount then begins to decrease, falling to 13.1 metric tons by age 80.
While no data is available for ages older than 80, it's expected that CO2 emissions continue to fall after that age, the researcher said.
This finding is important because life expectancy in the United States is expected to increase from 78.3 years in 2010 to 83.1 years in 2050, and it's believed life expectancy in other developed nations will be even higher.
For the study, Zagheni outlined the lifetime changes in individual CO2 emissions. First, they increase with age and income. Middle-aged adults drive cars and fly more often and use more electricity than young people.
But this changes as many people grow older. Elderly people tend to spend more than younger adults, but a growing portion of this spending is for health care. This has a double effect on their CO2 emissions. Health care services generally produce low levels of greenhouse gases and older people have less money to spend on energy-intensive goods and activities.
Older adults tend to spend more time at home, which leads to increased consumption of electricity and gas. This home energy use tends to plateau at about age 80, the researcher said.
The proportion of people 65 and older worldwide is expected to increase from about 8 percent currently to about 13 percent by 2030, according to the United Nations.

Happy Jawbone Family Band - OK Midnight, You Win
Format: LP
Label: Feeding Tube Records Notify Me ( ? )
The second LP (fifth album) by this Vermont/Colorado quintet finds them traipsing ever deeper into the kind of mythic American territory we usually associate with bands who view our landscape from far outside its windows. Think of Australia's Triffids or New Zealand's Renderers and cross their brilliant Southern Hemisphere inventions with truths only wrenchable from the heart of the beast. There's a genuine ruralist hoot factor here so smooth that it hits like a ton of silk, but there's enough killbilly undertow to keep everyone standing nervously around that jug of magic moonshine.

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport will be one of the select American airports unveiling a new security program that will help expedite travel by pre-screening certain individuals.
According to the Transportation Security Administration's website , the new program will be implemented in Terminal 4 for US Airways.
TSA PreCheck will be placed in over a dozen other airports throughout the country and is said to enhance aviation security with the help of U.S. Customs and Border Protection and participating airlines.
TSA is already planning on expanding the program to more airports and airlines.
As of now, frequent travelers from Alaska Airlines, Delta Airlines, United Airlines, American Airlines, US Airways and select members of CBP's Trusted Traveler programs will be eligible for the TSA PreCheck program.
Eligible passengers will also be allowed to take children 12 years old and younger through the TSA PreCheck security lanes.
To continue to ensure passenger safety, TSA officers will continue to perform random security searches and other measures.
TSA said that keeping a continued level of randomness will keep terrorists from "gaming the system."
TSA also said in a news release that "individuals who commit certain offenses, such as violations involving firearms, explosives, and fraudulent documents at an airport or on board an aircraft are likely to be denied expedited screening for a period of time. The duration of disqualification for expedited screening will depend upon the seriousness of the offense."
TSA PreCheck allows officers to focus their attention on passengers more likely to pose risks and dangers.
As always, airport security checkpoints are only a portion of the "multi-layered" security system. TSA also researches and analyzes intelligence and behavior and implements different teams of officers, air marshals and canines to ensure safety.
For a map of PreCheck locations and more information on the program, visit TSA online.

The US military has eased restrictions on religious tattoos, hairstyles or apparel that troops can display while in uniform, as long as they do not jeopardise "unit cohesion".
The Pentagon said on Wednesday the rules it unveiled marked the first time the agency had laid out a general policy on the issue.
"The new policy states that military departments will accommodate religious requests of service members unless they have an adverse effect on military readiness, mission accomplishment, unit cohesion, and good order and discipline," spokesman Lieutenant Commander Nate Christensen said in a statement.
As long as a unit's mission is not put at risk or its safety jeopardised, the regulations would allow an exception to standard "clean-cut" grooming standards on religious grounds, including facial hair or other hairstyles, tattoos and piercings that reflect a soldier's spiritual faith.
However, certain apparel or other expressions of religious faith would not be permitted if it "interferes with the wear or proper function of special or protective clothing or equipment," such as helmets, flak jackets or flight suits, Christensen said.
The policy mainly affects Sikhs, Muslims, Jews and members of other groups that wear beards or articles of clothing as part of their religion. It also could affect Wiccans and others who may obtain tattoos or piercings for religious reasons.
But advocacy groups expressed concern that the updated policy does little to protect Sikhs and others from the whims of their commanders.
"What is disappointing is that the presumptive bar on Sikh articles of faith remains", said Amardeep Singh, a spokesman for the human rights organisation Sikh Coalition.
Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said he welcomed any move to broaden religious accommodation in the US military.
"We've dealt with this issue on a number of occasions, whether it was with beards or with head scarfs or even in support of the Sikh community on the issue of turbans and skullcaps for the Jewish military personnel," he said.

New job - not happy
Find a Conversation
|Sat, 03-08-2014 - 3:22am
Hi, Ive just started a new job and finding it hard to settle in. Basically its in a small office with about 9 people. The office layout is like an L shape and unfortunately my desk is around the corner from everybody else and to make matters worse I am siting right next to the boss who I hate. The people are nice but I'm always feeling left out because I can hear them having a laugh and chatting and don't really have a chance to join in because of where I am sitting. I sometimes have an excuse to get up like getting a drink or going to the loo then I can make a point of joining in while im away from my desk. At the end of the day I know im there to work but it bothers me that I feel like an outsider. My boss is the only person who I dont like there, and its not even because he is the boss. I just don't like him and I feel the feeling is mutual. He thinks he's god and reminds me of a male chauvinist pig. There are akward silences, I just don't feel like I can relate to him. I can't really complain that I don't like where im sitting just because im missing out on office chats. Any ideas?
|Sat, 03-08-2014 - 10:28pm
Did you interview with your boss before you took the job?
As you said it yourself, you are there to work. Just focus on learning the ropes first, friendship with others may come later. Regardless of where you sit and how your boss is, it takes time for people to warm up to a newcomer in any kind of group setting and it seems a bit unreasonable to expect everyone to treat you like his/her best friend right away.
|Mon, 03-10-2014 - 12:25am
Demontespan is right in my opinion.
How long have you been working there? The others, including your boss, are likely trying to get a feel for you yet, too.
I did find what I think is a helpful article online:
9 Steps to Acing the First 90 Days on the Job
I hope it gets better, and I expect it will if you give it a bit more time and effort in focusing on your work.
Good luck!

UW-Eau Claire
News Bureau
Schofield Hall 218
Eau Claire, WI 54702-4004
Singing Statesmen to
Perform May 8 and 9
(715) 836-4741
(715) 836-2900
MAILED: May 1, 1998
EAU CLAIRE The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire music and theatre arts department will present a Singing Statesmen Concert at 7:30 p.m. on May 8 and 9 in Gantner Concert Hall of the Haas Fine Arts Center.
The concert will be conducted by associate professor Dr. Gary Schwartzhoff.
The Singing Statesmen is celebrating its 30th anniversary as one of the premier university male choruses in the country. It was established by Morris D. Hayes in 1967 when he sought to create an outstanding choral ensemble for male voices. The ensemble has been directed by three conductors: Hayes from 1967-1988, Bruce G.
