Nurse Kristy Chambers has written a memoir.
Kristy Chambers would often share stories of her work as a nurse over coffee with friends.
But her stories often received a different kind of reaction.
"The response to my work stories was usually horrified silence or horrified laughter," she said.
Kristy's friends suggested she begin writing down her stories.
She did - and the end result is a newly published memoir titled Get Well Soon! My (Un)Brilliant Career as a Nurse.
"It seemed a shame to let these unique situations and interactions just turn to dust," Kristy said.
"Some of the more traumatic moments I have experienced in nursing have been burned into my psyche, so I suppose writing is also somewhat cathartic, much like talking to your family or partner after a
hard day at work."
Kristy's book details how she fell into nursing, and provides an honest and funny account of her experiences working with patients ranging from drug addicts through to cancer patients and those in emergency.
Originally from Adelaide and now based in Brisbane, Kristy has spent almost a decade as a nurse, working in several hospitals in areas such as oncology, haematology, bone marrow transplant, in a methadone clinic, drug and alcohol detoxification, in clinical research and general medical wards.
Kristy said she hopes other nurses will find her memoir entertaining.
"I've had work colleagues read it and say that they are going to give it to their non-nurse family and friends to show them what the job is really like," she said.
"There are a lot of universal themes in the book; grief, frustration, the black humour found in extreme situations, but I don't proclaim to speak for all nurses.
"These are just my reflections of my experiences and I'm clearly no Florence Nightingale, but I don't regret choosing nursing as my career, not even for a second.
"I'd like to think that the book might be reassuring for some people, especially to nurses new to the profession.
"I felt like a fish out of water at the beginning, but nursing eventually became comfortable for me."
Kristy said it took about a year to write the book, spread out over three years of nursing and general life, and she is now about to embark on long service leave with some well-earned time spent in New York City.
"I have already begun writing another book and I am keen to get stuck into it while I have the luxury of free time, but I also plan on doing nothing at all if the urge should take me," she said.
"There are a lot of bagels in NYC and I am determined to eat them all."
Despite the pressures of nursing and the shift work, Kristy said nursing is a profession she loves.
"I love feeling that I am helping people by going to work and that what I do for a living matters," she said.
"No day is ever the same in nursing, and I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to meet and care for such an interesting and diverse mix of patients.
"The situations nurses find themselves in can be so extreme that it sometimes feels like only other nurses can understand it, which makes you fast friends and creates a strong bond."

Governor Urges Quick Approval of Driver's Licenses BillSPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - Gov. Pat Quinn says he supports a plan to allow illegal immigrants in Illinois to get driver's licenses and is urging lawmakers to pass it quickly.
The Illinois Senate approved the measure Tuesday. It now heads to the House. A spokesman for House Speaker Mike Madigan says a vote on the measure isn't likely until January because it'll first go to a House committee. The veto session ends Wednesday. Lawmakers return to Springfield in January.
The legislation would let illegal immigrants get licenses and buy insurance without facing deportation. The licenses couldn't be used for other purposes like boarding a plane or voter identification. An estimated 250,000 illegal immigrants in Illinois drive. Proponents of the measure say it enhances safety and saves money. There was little opposition.

RELEASED: Sept. 2, 2008
Dr. Kate Hale
EAU CLAIRE — Dr. Kate Hale, adjunct assistant professor of English, has been appointed by Chancellor Brian Levin-Stankevich as the Campus Sustainability Fellow at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. This is a new half-time position created as part of the implementation of the Centennial Plan, the university's strategic plan, which calls for identifying and prioritizing campus improvements focusing on sustainability.
"Dr. Hale has an intense interest in the environment," Levin-Stankevich said. "She demonstrated her organizational skills during a previous term as interim affirmative action officer, and I needed help in making sure that our sustainability efforts and my signing of the Campus Climate Commitment will be moved forward in the coming year.
As the Campus Sustainability Fellow, Hale will work with the chancellor's Climate Commitment Advisory Group to identify ways to expand participation in sustainability efforts. She will help to coordinate and support sustainability efforts currently operating on campus and assist in the development of new efforts. She will serve as a liaison with other campuses, community organizations, government representatives and other local enterprises related to sustainability efforts. In addition, Hale will help track UW-Eau Claire's efforts to reduce the university's carbon footprint as part of the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment, a national effort at increasing sustainability.
Hale has incorporated ecological thinking as the focus of her English composition class for almost a decade. In addition, Hale worked with UW-Eau Claire chemistry professor Jim Phillips to create an environment, society and culture minor, a humanities-connected minor that complements the science-oriented environmental science minor. She also was involved with other faculty and staff in the development of the proposed Watershed Institute for Collaborative Environmental Studies, and she has served as the western regional coordinator for the Wisconsin Stewardship Network and on the board of Northern Thunder, a local environmental group that formed on the UW-Eau Claire campus around 1970.
"I have been teaching university students for nearly half my life — and I love that work," Hale said. "At 51, I am delighted to have this opportunity to work in a way that can marshal and amplify the efforts of so many toward meeting such vital goals."
Hale joined the faculty at UW-Eau Claire in 1987. In 1986 she spent a year as a visiting lecturer at Hillsdale College in Michigan. Prior to that she was a graduate student and teaching assistant at Michigan State University. She received her bachelor of arts degree in English from Milligan College in 1979. She received her master's degree in 1983 and her doctoral degree in 1994 from Michigan State University.
She served as UW-Eau Claire's interim assistant to the chancellor for affirmative action in 2006. Currently she serves as a member of the UW System Advisory Group on the Liberal Arts.

The star says, "It's an amazing feeling being pregnant."
Her son is barely a year old, but Tia Mowry-Hardrict is already thinking about baby number two! The actress recently revealed her wishes to Access Hollywood and said she'd love to have another child soon.
"I would love to go through that again," she said. "I didn't have such an amazing pregnancy experience as my sister...but it's an amazing feeling being pregnant. I would love to have another baby very soon, sooner than later."
Her 34-year-old twin, Tamera Mowry-Hously, is seven months along on her first pregnancy and said she's been having an easier time than her sister did, but that things are just starting to get a bit more difficult. She's lost her voice due to acid reflux and has aching knees because of the extra weight. To help with the pains, she walks for 30 minutes almost every day and does Pilates.
Even though things have been going along swimmingly, Tia offered her sister some advice on how to handle the baby's arrival.
"When the baby comes, your natural instincts are going to kick in. Follow your instincts and as soon as that baby comes out, you're automatically going to know what to do," she said. "I spent hundreds of dollars on these classes that teach you how to feed a baby, burp a baby, swaddle them...you really don't have to take classes for that."

It may be because you have experienced so much in the past and that's what you do when something like that happens.
I would suggest you that you get an object that calms you down.. something small that can fit in your pocket, like a soft hanky, stress relieve ball, an old fancy coin, something that you like. If you get mad- feel the soft materials with the tips of your fingers or start squeezing the stress ball, flip the coin or spin it on a table.
I hope this helps you kickstart an idea.
Sounds like me at your age. I have bipolar and borderline personality disorder. Once I was walking down the street and beat the crap out of my own face. I punched it dozens of times until my hand and face were black. I woke up strapped to a bed in a mental hospital and had to stay a week.
Teenage hormones
You've told yourself too long that you can't control them!
Has anyone ever punched you back?
You cannot control feelings; you can only be aware of your feelings and in touch with them and honest to yourself about what you feel. What you CAN control is your actions. That needs to be your focus. The difference is between childish impulsivity and adult self-control. Children have no thinking spaces between their feelings and their actions; that is impulsivity. Focus on acknowledging your feelings but controlling your actions.

Bladder Symptoms and Urine Odor
Bladder symptoms and urine odor can tell you lots of things about the way your urinary tract is functioning. Urine smell is related to the types of chemicals excreted by the kidneys, as well as the amount of each chemical and their concentration in the urine. Urine smells can range from sweet smelling urine to foul smelling urine. The less concentrated, more diluted the urine, the less odor it will have. Very high concentrated urine can have a strong ammonia smell or vinegar urine odor.
Bladder symptoms and urine odor have several causes. These include a bladder infection, cystitis (inflamed bladder), dehydration, kidney infection, metabolic disorder, diabetes, and urinary tract infections. Different foods (such as asparagus and beets), medications, and vitamin supplements can affect the intensity of urine odors, cause urine discoloration, and produce a bad urine odor. Asparagus urine odor, for example, is highly concentrated and pungent and can change the color of your urine to a greenish yellow hue.
Smelly urine can also be accompanied by cloudy urine. Cloudy urine odor can still be related to foods or medication that were consumed, however the more abnormal urine symptoms and bladder symptoms that appear in combination, the more likely it is you have an underlying urological condition that needs to be treated.
More often than not, urine discoloration and odor will subside in a few days. Eliminating urine odor can be accomplished by changing certain foods in your diet and certain medications that can address any infection you may have. However, urine odor symptoms, bladder symptoms, and any other urinary symptoms that are causing you discomfort or concern should be evaluated.
Bladder symptoms and urine odor can be addressed by our world-class physicians at Urology Specialists. Dr. Edward Gheiler started the Urology Specialists over a decade ago. He and his partner, Dr. Fernando Bianco, the Chief of Robotic Surgery for the Columbia University Division of Urology at Mount Sinai Medical Center on Miami Beach, are highly qualified urologists able to diagnosis and treat any urological condition using state of the art and up to date treatment methods available. You may feel embarrassed or reluctant to get a checkup; however, trying to self-diagnose your problems is not a good idea. Too many urological conditions have the same or very similar symptoms and can make you think you have one condition when it's really something else. Our experienced urologists will use the latest diagnostic methods and technology to pinpoint a diagnosis and offer the best treatment to cure any urinary condition you may be experiencing.

The United Nations Commission on Human Rights (UNCHR) was a functional commission within the overall framework of the United Nations from 1946 until it was replaced by the United Nations Human Rights Council in 2006. It was a subsidiary body of the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), and was also assisted in its work by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCHR). It was the UN's principal mechanism and international forum concerned with the promotion and protection of human rights.
On 15 March 2006, the UN General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to replace UNCHR with the UN Human Rights Council.[1]
The UNCHR was established on 10 December 1946 at the first meeting of ECOSOC, and was one of the first two "Functional Commissions" set up within the early UN structure (the other being the Commission on the Status of Women). It was a body created under the terms of the United Nations Charter (specifically, under Article 68) to which all UN member states are signatories.
The body went through two distinct phases. From 1947 to 1967, it followed the policy of absenteeism, which meant that the Commission would concentrate on promoting human rights and helping states elaborate treaties, but not on investigating or condemning violators. It was a period of strict observance of the sovereignty principle.
In 1967, the Commission adopted interventionism as its policy. The context of the decade was of decolonization of Africa and Asia, and many countries of the continent pressed for a more active UN policy on human rights issues, especially in light of massive violations in apartheid South Africa. The new policy meant that the Commission would also investigate and produce reports on violations.
To allow better fulfillment of this new policy, other changes took place. In the 1970s, the possibility of geographically-oriented workgroups was created. These groups would specialize their activities on the investigation of violations on a given region or even a single country, as was the case with Chile. With the 1980s came the creation of theme-oriented workgroups, which would specialize in specific types of abuses.
None of these measures, however, were able to make the Commission as effective as desired, mainly because of the presence of human rights violators and the politicization of the body. During the following years until its extinction, the UNCHR became increasingly discredited among activists and governments alike.
The Commission held its final meeting in Geneva on March 27, 2006 and was replaced by the United Nations Human Rights Council in the same year.
The Commission on Human Rights was intended to examine, monitor and publicly report on human rights situations in specific countries or territories (known as country mechanisms or mandates) as well as on major phenomena of human rights violations worldwide (known as thematic mechanisms or mandates).[citation needed]
At the time it was extinguished, the Commission consisted of representatives drawn from 53 member states, elected by the members of ECOSOC. There were no permanent members; each year (usually in May) approximately a third of the seats of the Commission would come up for election, and the representatives were appointed for a three-year term.
Seats on the Commission were apportioned by region, using the mechanism of the United Nations Regional Groups. During its last year of service in 2005, the representation by region was as follows:
The Commission would meet each year in regular session for six weeks during March and April in Geneva, Switzerland. In January 2004, Australia was elected as chair of the 60th Session. In January 2005, Indonesia was elected chair of the 61st Session. Peru was elected chair of the 62nd Session in January 2006. The Commission held its final meeting in Geneva on March 27, 2006.
In 1999 the Economic and Social Council changed its title from the Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities to the Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights".[2]
The Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights was the main subsidiary body of the Commission on Human Rights. It was composed of twenty-six experts whose responsibility was to undertake studies, particularly in light of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and make recommendations to the Commission concerning the prevention of discrimination of any kind relating to human rights and fundamental freedoms and the protection of racial, national, religious and linguistic minorities. Membership was selected with regard to equitable geographical distribution.
The Sub-Commission established seven Working Groups that investigate specific human rights concerns, including:
The United Nations Human Rights Council assumed responsibility for the Sub-Commission when it replaced the Commission on Human Rights in 2006.
The Commission on Human Rights established 30 special procedures, or mechanisms, to address specific country situations or thematic issues such as freedom of expression and opinion, torture, the right to food, and the right to education.[3]
Individuals with expertise in particular areas of human rights were appointed by the chair of the Commission to serve as Special Rapporteurs for a maximum of six years. They are unpaid, independent experts who receive personnel and logistical support from the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights for their work. Their main activities are to examine, monitor, advise and publicly report on human rights situations in specific countries or territories. They are able to write to governments about reported violations and conduct fact-finding visits to countries that invite them.
The special mechanisms are categorised according to:
Special procedures also include working groups made up of up to five experts who monitor and investigate specific human rights concerns. Three groups were established by the Commission:
The special procedures are now under the direction of the United Nations Human Rights Council.
The Commission was repeatedly criticized for the composition of its membership. In particular, several of its member countries themselves had dubious human rights records, including states whose representatives had been elected to chair the commission.[6]
Another criticism was that the Commission did not engage in constructive discussion of human rights issues, but was a forum for politically selective finger-pointing and criticism. The desire of states with problematic human rights records to be elected to the Commission was viewed largely as a way to defend themselves from such attacks.
Activist groups had long expressed concern over the memberships of the People's Republic of China, Zimbabwe, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan, and the past memberships of Algeria, Syria, Libya, Uganda and Vietnam on the Commission. These countries had extensive records of human rights violations, and one concern was that by working against resolutions on the commission condemning human rights violations, they indirectly promoted despotism and domestic repression.[6]
On May 4, 2004, United States ambassador Sichan Siv walked out of the Commission following the uncontested election of Sudan to the commission, calling it an "absurdity" in light of Sudan's ethnic cleansing in the Darfur region.[7] One major consequence of the election of Sudan to the Commission was the lack of willingness for some countries to work through the commission. Indeed, on July 30, 2004, it was the United Nations Security Council, not the Commission, that passed a resolution—by 13–0, with China and Pakistan abstaining—threatening Sudan with unspecified sanctions if the situation in the Darfur region did not improve within the following 30 days. The reasons given for the action were the attacks by the Janjaweed Arab militias of Sudan on the non-Arab African Muslim population of Darfur, a region in western Sudan.
The commission had also come under repeated criticism from the United States for its unwillingness to address real human rights concerns. In 2002, the United States was kicked off the commission by the other member states, many of whom have been criticized for their human rights violations, and in 2003 Syria put forward a proposal to discuss US war crimes in Iraq. But journalist Anne Applebaum wrote, "the European Union and the United States aren't exempt from blame, either", citing their hesitance in voting to criticize Russia's actions in Chechnya.[8]
The Commission was also criticized for bias against Israel. In 2002 Anne Bayefsky, a professor of international law at York University in Toronto, wrote that "commission members seek to avoid directly criticizing states with human rights problems, frequently by focusing on Israel, a state that, according to analysis of summary records, has for over 30 years occupied 15 percent of commission time and has been the subject of a third of country-specific resolutions."[9] On April 15, 2002, the Commission approved a resolution affirming the "legitimate right of the Palestinian people to resist the Israeli occupation in order to free its land and be able to exercise its right of self-determination."[10] In so doing, the Palestinian people was declared "fulfilling its mission, one of the goals and purposes of the United Nations". Of the 53-member commission, 40 countries voted yes, five voted no, and seven abstained. Although widely reported that the resolution condoned resistance to Israel by "all available means, including armed struggle," the resolution itself does not contain those words. [11] Alfred Moses, a former United States ambassador to the commission and now chairman of the monitoring group UN Watch, said that "A vote in favour of this resolution is a vote for Palestinian terrorism".[12] In a letter to the UNHRC on November 15, 2002, following an attack by Palestinians on Israelis in the town of Hebron, Nabil Ramlawi, the permanent observer for Palestine at the U.N., appealed to the resolution as justification for the attack.[13]
The UNCHR was criticized for failing to apply the charter's standards to all-member states. When issues such as the stoning of women, honor killings, mutilations, and the apostasy death penalty were raised during the 60th Session of the UN Commission on Human Rights in 2004,[14][15] Muslim officials rejected "any criticism as interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign state."[citation needed]
In 1977, the commission formed a "Sub-Commission to study, with a view to formulating guidelines, if possible, the question of the protection of those detained on the grounds of mental ill-health against treatment that might adversely affect the human personality and its physical and intellectual integrity". The sub-commission was charged with "determin[ing] whether adequate grounds existed for detaining persons on the grounds of mental ill-health."
The guidelines that resulted have been criticized for failing to protect the rights of involuntary patients.[16]
The United Nations Commission on Human Rights (UNCHR) passed a number of resolutions concerning genocide, these were: UNCHR Decision 9 (XXXV).
1986/18; 1987/25; 1988/28; 1989/16; 1990/19; "Fiftieth Anniversary of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide", 1998/10; and "Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide", 1999/67.[17]

It is the fate of the cult movie to be ahead of its time. One thinks of David Cronenberg's Videodrome, which opened to middling reviews and pitiful box office receipts in 1983, only to see its dark media fantasia look far more prescient as video games and the Internet matured in the 1990s. Mike Judge had the distinction of directing two modern classics that tanked at the box office but flourished in video release; 1999's Office Space resonated with the deepening economic malaise of the early twenty-first century, while 2006's Idiocracy makes more sense today than ever before. Sometimes, though, a film manages to be both ahead of and behind its time—as the 1999 alternate-history farce Dick … [Read more...]
Dick: The Forrest Gump of Stoner Movies
Noiring LA: Mildred Pierce, The Reckless Moment, and Reinforcing Postwar Suburban Gender Roles
"Often like a ghost in the shadows, the mother haunts film noir," observed Kelly Oliver and Benigno Trigo in 2003. "She is mentioned but never seen, yet she leaves her traces throughout film noir. Paralleling the dichotomy of the bad omnipresent or bad absent mother, in film noir the mother is everywhere and nowhere."1 Yet, as the two critics note, a handful of film noirs placed mothers and women at their center, ultimately both pushing back against noir restraints, but still reinforcing domestic, gender, and racial normatives of the day. In two such films, "Mildred Pierce" and "The Reckless Moment," Los Angeles and its suburbs provide the backdrop for film noir's judgment on the role of … [Read more...]
"Let It Be": The Replacements, Generation X, and Sexuality 30 Years Later
"If they hadn't come along I think we would have to invent them somehow," impressively bearded writer Robert Voedisch told filmmakers in 2011's Color Me Obsessed. Sprawling over two hours, the documentary captures the feelings of affection, disbelief, and for many fans in regard to the last few albums, despair, that the infamous Minneapolis postpunk band the Replacements inspired. Indeed, the level of reverence that fans hold for a band clearly defined by irreverence remains palpable. They were a 1980s Velvet Underground, notes one; they may have sold few records, but everyone who picked one up joined a band. "The great existential heroes of American Indie rock," Titus Andronicus lead singer … [Read more...]
Diving into Integration: Sammy Lee, Historical Memory, and the Complexity of Housing Segregation in Cold War California
Even with the clearest of minds, personal and historical memory ebb and flow. Recollections of our own past and that of the society around us often become shaped by current circumstance and selective recall. If one adds dementia to the mix, personal memories become scattered vestiges of our former selves that bound across the mind. Lest one thinks society as a collective operates any better, it does not. You need only point to the occasional survey of American knowledge of U.S. history to know the past might stalk us invisibly at every moment, but as Americans we seem blissfully unaware. When two-time gold medal Olympic diver Sammy Lee disappeared for several days this past April, the … [Read more...]
Not Bowling Alone: How the Holiday Bowl in Crenshaw Became an Integrated Leisure Space
In May 2000, the New York Times reported the upcoming demolition of the Crenshaw District's Holiday Bowl. Built by Japanese American investors in 1958, just as Crenshaw and neighboring Leimart Park were reemerging as one of the city's most diverse neighborhoods, the bowling alley served as an integrated leisure space where African, Mexican, and Asian Americans could interact. "It's like a United Nations in there,'' longtime employee Jacqueline Sowell told writer Don Terry. ''Our employees are Hispanic, white, black, Japanese, Thai, Filipino. I've served grits to as many Japanese customers as I do black. We've learned from each other and given to each other. It's much more than just a bowling … [Read more...]
Diamonds Separated by Oceans: Baseball, Japanese Americans, and Southern California's Pacific Rim
"If California has made any contribution to sport on a national level, it is in the democratization of pursuits that were previously the prerogatives of elites," noted the dean of California history Kevin Starr in 2005. "Most of the champions of the twentieth century who come from California first developed their skills in publicly subsidized circumstances: municipally supported swimming pools, golf courses, and tennis courts in particular, where middle class Californians, thanks to the recreational policies of Progressivism, were introduced to these previously social register sports." 1 Indeed, even under the weight of racism, groups denied equal access to mainstream U.S. society found … [Read more...]
125 Years of 4th of July Parades and Liberalism in Maryland's Takoma Park
"We're compromised," an exasperated Julie Boddy told a Washington Post journalist in 2012. As a sitting member of the Nuclear Free Takoma Park Committee, Boddy and other committee members expressed sharp reservations about a recent city council decision. "What kind of reputation do we have if we fall down in that way?" Ian Barclay, a town native agreed. "It's just a slippery slope … when you start letting this slide then where are you going to end up." The issue at hand you ask? Town librarians had ordered a set of Hewlett Packard computers to replace older outdated models. However, HP's historical association with the production of nuclear weapons led librarians to "stash" them away in … [Read more...]
A Dive into the Deep End: The Importance of the Swimming Pool in Southern California
[Let Summer begin! This week we focus on the role of pools and beaches in American, specifically, SoCal life. On Wed. we'll look at how L.A.'s African American population demonstrated agency and carved out spaces of leisure for their communities through beaches in early 20th century Southern California. For more on pools check out our review of Jeff Wiltse's social history on the subject, Contested Waters and our own take on the narrative surrounding New York's McCarren Park Pool and its connection to NYC's 20th century history of aquatic leisure.

Shifting Lanes: The Demise of the Southern California Autotopia
To understand the City of Angels, Joan Didion once wrote, one needed to immerse oneself in the freeway experience or, as she put it, "the only secular communion Los Angeles has."1 Between 1968 and 1979 Didion published three books -- two collections of non-fiction essays: "Slouching Toward Bethlehem" in 1968 and "The White Album" in 1979; and one work of fiction: "Play It as It Lays" in 1970 -- that depicted a modern Southern California, buffeted by "the weather of catastrophe, of apocalypse," but grounded by its highways and relaxed by its pools. Southern California combined the elemental extremes of nature with the rigidity of the decade's car-centric urban planning. For 1960s and early … [Read more...]
Sloping toward the Future?: Generation X and Malaise in Richard Fulco's There Is No End to This Slope
"Hurt people hurt people," the damaged Roger Greenberg tells a pre-Frances Ha Greta Gerwig in Noah Baumbach's 2010 film Greenberg. Stiller's character, a fortyish former indie rock star turned carpenter returning to California after years in New York, writes angry correspondence to local newspapers, letters of complaint to companies about poor service or accommodations and spends most of his time not doing stuff. The dissolution of his old band, in part because he harbored fears about more or less selling out, might have seemed like a sign of integrity back in the day, but now his extremism seems to stem from some sort of pathological state of arrested development. He exudes passive … [Read more...]

LOGIN TO myHadassah
Rasheda Ali, daughter of the legendary boxer, Muhammad Ali and member of the advisory board of BrainStorm, the Israeli company that works on innovative treatments for Parkinson's and Multiple Sclerosis with Hadassah Senior Neurologist Prof. Dimitrios Karussis, will now focus her efforts on behalf of the BrainStorm/Hadassah methodology.
Ms. Ali visited the Hadassah Medical Center this summer with the managers of BrainStorm, where she met with Prof. Dimitrios Karussis, Director of Hadassah's Multiple Sclerosis Center, and Prof. Tamir Ben-Hur, head of Neurology.
The two professors described their work involving the autologous transplant of mesenchymal stem cells to treat degenerative brain diseases. They explained the importance of collaborating with the bio-tech industry—BrainStorm specifically—and what their next steps will be. Ms. Ali, an internationally known advocate for research into degenerative brain diseases, has personal experience with this debilitating decline of brain function, since her father, Muhammad, suffers from Parkinson's.
During her visit to Hadassah, Chaim Lebovitz, President of BrainStorm, and Adrian Harel, Chief Executive Officer, took Ms. Ali to see Hadassah's GMP (Good Manufacturing Product) research laboratory, where the collaborative work of BrainStorm and Hadassah is performed. Highly impressed with what she witnessed, Ms. Ali was glad to be able to meet the physicians behind the names she had come to know.

June 13, 2012
Most people know well in advance that they will be relocating. But whether you're leaving a dorm room or moving a large family across the country a sound moving checklist is the best thing you can do. Many, comprehensive moving checklists are available online or from reputable movers. The best moving checklist will lay out your work in detail for the two months before your moving date. But to get started think of the word: PREPARE
Plan: There is nothing better that you can do to make a move calm and orderly then to begin planning it as soon as possible. Do some homework. Find a comprehensive, weekly moving checklist and begin to lay it out. Research moving companies and storage options.
Review: Start examining your household contents. Identify what you must keep, want to keep or could get rid of. Remember, with a moving company the cost is significantly by weight. Don't forget the attic and cellar!
Estimate: Once you have an idea of what will be moved you can begin getting estimates for the work. Consider both full service and discount movers. DIY is a good option if your possessions are relatively few. Consider portable storage containers and a gradual packing process.
Papers: There can be a great number of personal papers that have to be sorted out. Insurance, post office, subscriptions, utilities all of these must be a part of your moving checklist and scheduled to be dealt with.
Acquire: Begin acquiring your packing materials as early as possible. A moving company will charge dearly for these and you can get many of them for free. Look on local "For Sale" websites, consider posting a "Wanted" ad there and on local bulletin boards for boxes from folks who have just moved themselves.
Retire: Start your garage sales now. If you have many items you don't want to move begin to sell them. Not everything will go the first time. Plan several sales. Donate whatever is left to the Goodwill.
Energy: Conserve it! Moving is a complicated and challenging task and you'll need all your energy for those days of the actual move. A good, detailed moving checklist will prove to be invaluable!

Race to Beat Cancer goes on at Cranmore in aftermath of blizzard
It was a good day to be shoveling, with the bright sun quickly melting any stray lumps of snow dropped on the pavement.
With southern New England still digging out from the nor'easter that came blasting up the coast, traffic over the weekend was light. Events still went on, though, and at Cranmore Mountain the 36th annual Race to Beat Cancer fundraiser took place on Sunday as planned.
"It wouldn't have made sense to cancel," Kathy Metz, the regional community executive with the American Cancer Society said, noting the great conditions and weather. Conditions were ideal for recreational skiing - in the low 30s with a cloudless blue sky - but the driving ban in Massachusetts late Friday and early Saturday more than likely kept many skiers closer to home.
Metz said she estimated the fundraiser had about half the usual number of participants.
It was a good day to be on the trails, where the way was smoothed by new snow that felt like velvet underfoot.
The timing of the recent snowstorm might have had an effect on this past weekend's business in the northern half of the state but the fresh powder that fell Friday and Saturday set the stage for the upcoming three-day weekend and the February vacation week. Ski New Hampshire reported that downhill ski areas in the White Mountains received anywhere from 15 to 24 inches, with Nordic ski areas recording similar amounts.
For several of the cross-country ski areas, the new snow was a godsend. On Sunday, Bretton Woods had 38 of its 49 trails open, a return, the trail report said, to "nordic nirvana" after having little to no coverage on some of the trails on the previous weekend.
The snowmobiling season above the notches, which had started out with such great promise in December, was hitting some bumps prior to the storm. On Friday, trails in Twin Mountain were closed and the state Trails Bureau reported mostly icy conditions in other riding areas, with the exception of the northern trails in the Pittsburg system, which, even before the storm, were in overall good condition.
On Sunday many of the snowmobile clubs had not updated their trail conditions since the storm - most likely because they were out grooming the new snow. That was the case for the Lancaster Snow Drifters, who on Sunday did have time for a report.
"Sorry for no report yesterday (Saturday). Busy," the club posted on its website. "We received anywhere from 6-8 inches total from the clipper and then the Nor'easter. Both groomers were out all day yesterday packing and grooming. It snowed light powder until 3 p.m. yesterday."

|Xander: Sparkly chainsaw wielding Zombie Slayer.

|Personal Challenge
|Yet another Halloween Genderbender request.
I've recently gotten into a game called Lollipop Chainsaw, and thought it would be all kinds of hilarious if Xander was made to be Juliet, the main character of the game.
Anyway, here are the requirements:
-Xander has to have the bejewelled chainsaw (and, if you've played the game, you know what Juliet is like when fully upgraded).
-Xander retains pure physical resemblance to that blonde cheerleader, which, in turn, makes Buffy insanely jealous (not only because she's better stacked, but because Xander's taller, and Xander scares Demons and Vampires more than the Slayer does).
-Mandatory talking head has to be there. Not necessarily boyfriend/girlfriend, but definitely a comedic relationship.
-Optional: Zombie apocalypse, or vampire 'armies' made to kill Xander.
Anyone willing to pick it up, please give me a buzz.

Barman at Hellsten hotel wanting to close the bar and go home just as we were settling in for a celebration after eating out. We do not know the rules in Sweden but an explanation of bar opening times would be useful.
- position (easy access and very close to underground station ) - staff is very nice and friendly - a nice hotel perfect value for money
- any negative opinion
Very convinient location. Nice quality breakfast, helpful staff, beautiful decoration.
Very small bathroom, noise coming from the street, unable to control the room temperature, small variety for the breakfast, dirty walls in the room.
The staff was friendly and the location of the hotel is really good.
Breakfast is ok, but should be better.. Wifi connection in the room was poor.
for couple should give king size bed instead of 2 single bed
Location - very close to T-bana and only 2 stops from Central Station. Lot of shops, quite area, cofee and tea on the reception free of charge. Very fast wi-fi connection. Clear place. Rich breakfast.
Very small room. Next time I will ask reception for bigger one. It was not the same as on the picture, which I have choose. Bed was very soft.
Good price/value ratio Helpful staff
Comfy hotel - nice breakfast - great staff who helped out at all times.
No criticisms whatsoever.,
Convenient location just around the corner from the metro station and two stops from the central station. The staff were very friendly.
Zentral Superfreundliches Personal Free Coffee and Tea Free Wifi
Kleines Zimmer
The hotel is situated very close to the metro and many sights are in walking distance. The staff is very friendly. The hotel and the rooms are nicely designed.
The price was rather high for a room of such small size with no specific comfort. Also, the sound insolation could be better - even though I had the second next room to the elevator, the noise of the elevator was rather disturbing. Apart from soymilk, there are no vegan alternatives available for breakfast, i.e. no spread or margarine etc.
The staff were very professional, helpful and friendly. The hotel is very comfortable, easy to access and with an excellent breakfast
There is nothing negative to say about this hotel. It is simply excellent and very good value
Worked well for our needs even though it was a bit pricy. Good location and friendly staff.
Small room and basic breakfast.
I liked the fact that the hotel is away from the touristy area of Stockholm. The hotel is quite small and unpretentious but stylish. This year was my third visit to the Rex and I hope to return!
Nice hotel in good location. Most of the staff very friendly. Wifi worked well for me, but internet via cable not.
Breakfast is a little bit basic, but ok.
very good breakfast. Hot tea and coffee are provided all the time. The location is good.
The room is too small.
Good location, nice hotel with small but well made rooms. In general friendly staff. WiFi worked fine.
Enjoyed our stay easy to get around from the Rex.
Everything: breakfast, room, wifi, location close to several supermarkets. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Basic breakfast Wifi needs imp4 ovement
Pretty central location; near a metro station and only 20 mins walk to Gamla Stan Lots of places to eat and drink nearby Nice garden area for breakfast/bar/restaurant etc Great breakfast Great value Staff friendly Rooms spacious and very clean - and stylish! Can't believe they can do it all for the price
Being really picky...breakfast can be pretty hectic so you need to chose your time...sometimes a little slow on replenishing fruit/cutlery etc. Rooms at the front of the hotel can be a bit noisy if you want your window open at night...not a problem for us...but just so you know And...again...being fussy...Bristish travellers like a kettle in their room to make an ealry morning cuppa...completely appreciate it's a Brit thing and other nations might notbe so fussed about this... Option of feather pillows would be fab...but really...I'm being very high maintenance here. And anyway...I emailed ahead and asked the hotel about the kettle and feathers and they replied straight away so i could bring my own...which I did...
Breakfast was good.
The room was tiny and under the roof which meant that it was a) very hot and b) we could not walk upright in half of the space which made the room even tinier. The bed is not a standard size but smaller.

Will the GWS 4-blade prop be OK for this setup ?
I am going to build another P-51, and was wondering if the 4-blade prop will be ok with this setup I have... ie: Will I burn up the engine or anything ?
(I believe the GWS 4-blade prop measurements are 254mm x 203mm or 10in x 7.9in)
Himax 2025-4200
Cobri 20
Tanic 3s 1550
Though I have been flying for a while now, I still don't know the "rules" regarding prop size, and have always gone with what was recommended by the manufacturer.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Brian

Using a 6.6:1 gearbox, Motocalc estimates 15.5A so you should be within the 10-12C rating. Static thrust is estimated at 893g so you'll be well overpowered!

Thank you Steve.
Is Motocalc something I can buy and download ? I'd like to figure out these things for myself if I could
Thanks again, Brian

Brian, try MotoCalc. I'm a newcomer to electric flight, about 8 months now, and found it a pretty steep learning curve. After other recommendations I got MotoCalc which enables you to run various scenarios through to try to pick a motor/propellor/speed controller/battery setup. Its certainly no replacement for experience, speaking to some long term electric flyers they can quote a prop for a given motor/battery combination without ever actually having measured volts/amps.
I've also bought an electric flight meter which reads motor volts and amps up to 100A which can confirm setups. I used MotoCalc to find a better setup for a Mosquito I have. I was using direct drive 480BB motors with 6x4 props which was pulling over 30A but thrust was disappointing. I ran scenarios through and added 3.33:1 gearboxes plus 10x8 Graupner Cam folding props. For a 2Kg model it now flys well with a lower current. I've used it to predict thrust & current draw for an HVP Beaufighter I've just finished. MotoCalc got the current draw & prop rpm spot on.

The Law Firm Of Levi & Korsinsky, LLP Announces Investigation Of Poniard Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Levi & Korsinsky is investigating the Board of Directors of Poniard Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Poniard" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: PARD) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in connection with the sale of the Company to ALLOZYNE, Inc. Under the terms of the transaction, Poniard will issue shares of its common stock to ALLOZYNE stockholders based on an exchange ratio to be determined prior to the transaction's closing. The exchange ratio has been calculated using the 5-day average closing sales price of Poniard common stock prior to the merger announcement, or $0.2270 per share. Former Poniard shareholders are expected to own approximately 35% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis.
Click here to learn how to join the action: http://www.zlk.com/poniard-pharmaceuticals-pard, or call: 877-363-5972.
The investigation concerns whether the Poniard Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to Poniard stockholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before entering into this transaction which is dilutive to Poniard shareholders.

Bob Weir is a restless soul. Already fully engaged with Furthur (his latest and perhaps most true-to-form post-Grateful Dead venture), his solo band Ratdog, assorted musical projects at his TRI Studios, activity in various political and environmental organizations, and the occasional mountain-bike foray, this founding member of the Dead comes back to town in the midst of a short solo tour. If ever there were a musician who deserved a little rest and relaxation, it might be the tireless Weir. Instead, the songwriter is really only at rest when he's busy playing his guitar, which, in the solo-acoustic context, offers yet another level of musical fulfillment — for him and everyone else involved.

nice hotel
House keeping forgot to clean room once
Good location and good value for money
Far from bus pick up point for IAAPA bus shuttle. I have to walk very far to reach the Universal blvd curv area. Not a good idea and uncomfortable having to walk far with your luggage on hand.
An excellent choice for the money. Comfortable rooms and daily transfers to theme parks. Wet and wild within walking distance.
Breakfast buffet did disappoint slightly. The staff were great and attentive, but the food never really matched up. Certainly good enough to fuel up for an energetic morning at the parks, but hard waffles and dry scrambled eggs were a little sad. The air conditioning did sound a little bit like an aircraft taking off.
Great location, huge facility and very knowledgeable staff. Helped us with our issues right away and were very apologetic
the bathroom had not been cleaned. At all. Called and they had housekeeping there within 5 minutes, very apologetic and nice
The Staff was friendly and I did enjoy the breakfast buffet. I enjoyed the pool and the place seemed clean.
The hotel was not as leisurely as I would have liked, it seemed dated, older and having only one person at the tiki bar made getting your drinks / food slow. I wanted more drinks but the service was so slow I got up and went someplace else. Also did not care for the nosey ness of the air conditioner in the room. The other thing I did not care for was that I ordered 2 Queen beds specifically as there were 2 of us and we only got one in a JR suite and I had to sleep on the sofa bed. The place was booked, so changing was not really an option. They also called this a resort type of hotel, but it surly is not. Not sure what the resort part was?
Clean and nice hotel
We asked for more blankets and they never came.
Room was wonderful Staff very friendly and helpful Hotel is beautiful
Could use more menu items available for dinner.
Everything was beautiful, especially the reception staff, including the owner of the high-William creation. This is the only hotel that is not where I felt far from home provide you everything انصح به وبقوه لأنه الافضل بحكم تنقلاتي من الفنادق لأن هذه متعتي وكان هو الافضل في اورلاندو من جميع النواحي
I enjoyed the professionalism, friendliness and courteousness of the staff throughout the hotel. The wide knowledge they had for area events and if driving the printed out map of the journey one was given. Nothing was too much for them.
The air conditioning in the exective lounge was too cold and would need to be looked addressed. One member of staff is not enough more staff are needed. Certain drinks need accompined with mixers these where not present and had to be brought up from the bar by the only member of staff on duty, not good. There could also be better service for drinks and food around the pool area and a shorter waiting time for delivery.
I visited a lot of hotels in Orlando. This is the best of them, you feel like you are in your home and the staff are friendly, and there are many options for entertainment
Room services are late in delivering demand in some times
We had booked executive room with pool view which is on 15th floor and has great views. The executive lounge is great for breakfast and soft drinks/ beer and snacks at night. We were upgraded to full breakfast in restaurant every day which was great
Executive lounge does not serve drinks/ snacks fri and sat. Also parking is $9 per day which is new. Saying that I knew about all these in advance and the hotel manager only charged $25 dollars parking for 6 nights which was great
Executive Lounge Views
Lift worked poorly
Les lits sont comfortable. Chambre assez grande.
When reserving I did a room with 2 queen size bed n at arrival she gave me a studio with 1 queen size bed n 1 sofa gym bed. I didn't accept and after Insisting she gave another room with 1 king size bed n she said that they don't have 2 queen size bed room. And no apologies. There is no free water bottles in the room. Shuttle from Disney are at 1030 leaving so when u reach hotel it's 11 PM and the restaurant is close so no dinner. They have only cold meals. When we asked them if any restaurant nearby they said don't have and at the time of check out we found out that 15min walking and it's full of restaurants. I would not suggest to stay here instead go to The Castle or Rosen Plaza. We shifted to The Castle and it's wonderful.
Really nice staff and good facilities and would certainly stay there again.
Not the hotel's fault necessarily but some of the guests were exceedingly noisy in the very early hours of the morning, which disturbed our sleep.
Nice courtyard
Loudest A/C and refrigerator i have ever seen! Impossible to sleep
I missed the 'service with a smile' at check-in.
Largeness of studio room. Clean.
Whirring sound of the furnace or air conditioner. But after while it was white noise.
The crowne plaza was about 8 minute walk to international drive perfect location! The porters there, I found were the best help. Only downfall we had was the breakfast we had a piece of bacon each and scrambled egg and orange juice which we didn't drink because It wasn't that nice and it cost us over $32. Where if you go around the corner to international drive you have IHOP and Perkins (beautiful!) u can get both FULL breakfast for under $20 :) that's the only downfall everything else was perfect during our stay we only had breakfast there once as it was too expensive. Thank you for a great stay !
Some of the staff were helpful and friendly.
1. The hotel is terribly old and so are the amenities in the room. Parts of the bathtub were rusty and so were the towel racks. 2. The AC make a lot of noise once every 30 minutes, throughout the night. Turns out its the same across every room and they can't fix that. 3. We ordered breakfast through the room service hanger which we hung outside our room. Turns out nobody bothered to collect them, as we noticed other rooms had their breakfast orders left untouched as well. Went to the concierge to make a complaint, and she did not even bother to apologise. All she said was it will not be charged to our account. 4. The breakfast buffet staff were very rude, and simply ignored us. Took them awhile to even bother to take us to our tables. 5. On our last day, we decided to grab some quick breakfast from the stall beside the breakfast cafe, only to notice bugs flying inside the glass cabinet where the brownies and donuts were kept. 6. Wifi was supposed to be free, but they sneaked in $125.90 into our bill on the last day for wifi charges. They waived it in the end, after we questioned them about it. Apart from that, wifi was weak and terrible in the rooms.
I liked everything! The breakfast was Amazing
Staff is nice. Location is very good, near Internation drv, and Universal park. Nice pool, food, gym...
Central clima in quiet zone flors (corner rooms) is very noise. On booking.com offer internet is free , but thay charge it. On reception, you can fix it :) Parking is 9$ For night
The location was perfect.
However there was roaches in the ice machine on the 8th floor
lovely pool friendly staff excellent breakfasts
expensive bar food blocked toilets , unable to pay for three nights together,had to pay for three rooms separatley although all one family and in the same name thus incurring extra expense on my debit card
Location close to Universal. Good value for price.
Close to Universal Studios and many shopping/grocery stores
Have to pay for basic amenities like luggage cart, wifi and parking

Dr Martens Aila Shoe
Material: POLISHED SMOOTH
Product Code: 15758110
Part of the KENSINGTON Collection
Kensington for SS14 offers a stark choice: a plain, classy black Hi Suede option on two vintage styles of 5-Eye Oxford Shoe and a Lace Boot, with a confident, understated elegance; or a choice of two innovative and exciting new finishes. Firstly the sophisticated Skull Pindot Fabric wrapped around the same two styles as above, but with an altogether different appeal. On first impressions, the chequered pattern is stylish and fresh but on closer inspection reveals a repeating motif of silver woven skulls and crossed swords. Secondly, and even more darkly deceptive is the Skull Etched 5-Eye Oxford Shoe, which has sweeping trompe l'oeil brogue detailing whose teardrops and florals elegantly follow the curves of the upper, yet when viewed from a certain angle reveals a skull emblem on the toe. Both skull options represent a fun yet quiet surprise. All three choices sit on a nimble air-cushioned sole and offer lightweight seasonal functionality.
- 5 Eyelet Shoe
- Off White Polished Smooth leather
- Goodyear-welted, the upper and sole are heat-sealed and sewn together
- Dr. Martens air-cushioned sole
ConstructionThis is a Goodyear-welted product. The upper and sole are heat-sealed and sewn together, not merely glued like many footwear constructions.
MaterialA twist on the classic Dr. Martens leather: durable, with a smooth and polished finish.
SoleThe original Dr. Martens air-cushioned sole, providing underfoot comfort and durability since 1960. It is oil- and fat-resistant, tough and offers good abrasion and slip resistance.
Care Instructions[Smooth] = Clean Away dirt using a damp cloth, allow to dry apply correct coloured wax based shoe polish to restore shine as desired.

From BBC News, it is reported that an Australian independent tribunal in Australia has ordered a permanent end to the industrial dispute that has grounded all Qantas flights.
The tribunal – Fair Work Australia gave the ruling after examining evidence from all sides – unions, airline nad the government
It's taken the government to get involved – all the way to the top – Prime Minister Julia Gillard – to halt this dispute.
Alan Joyce (Qantas CEO) who ordered the stop in the first place said that operations would only resume if a permanent end had been issued – which is had.
The Melbourne Age has a deeper in-depth review.
Suffice to say, this is not the end of Qantas's troubles – rather I think a breather before it all goes to heck.. again. One to watch over the coming weeks.
