Lancashire PCC Clive Grunshaw's expenses face CPS scrutiny
Expenses claims made by the Lancashire police and crime commissioner (PCC) in his former role, are to be investigated by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).
The claims under investigation were made when Clive Grunshaw was a county councillor and police authority member, before he became PCC in November.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has been probing complaints by a former councillor.
The case has been referred to the CPS for a decision on whether to prosecute.
Labour PCC Mr Grunshaw denies wilfully submitting claims he knew to be untrue.
'Genuinely intentioned'He has been suspended from the Labour Party pending the outcome of the CPS inquiry, a party spokesman said.
So, after nine months of waiting we finally have a decision from the IPCC - a decision which now means it has become a criminal investigation.
Mr Grunshaw's decision to carry on as the crime commissioner in these circumstances might raise some questions about whether this will be a distraction given the importance of the role.
He has, of course, always said he has not knowingly made any false claims. But having a crime commissioner under such serious scrutiny is hardly ideal.
The decision by the Labour Party nationally to suspend him, I am told, is normal procedure given the CPS involvement.
The investigation began following a freedom of information request by former Chorley South councillor, Conservative Sam Chapman.
He asked for details of mileage claims from when Mr Grunshaw attended meetings of the council and the police authority on the same days.
Mr Grunshaw said he would carry on in his PCC role "as normal" while awaiting the CPS's verdict.
He said: "I maintain that at no point did I wilfully submit claims which I knew to be untrue and every expense claim I did make was genuinely intentioned."
The IPCC said it had sent a full investigation report to the CPS for it to decide "whether there is evidence to warrant criminal charges".
The Office for the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) said it was assisting the investigations.
Chief executive and solicitor Miranda Carruthers-Watt said: "While we await the decision of the CPS we will continue to support the commissioner in carrying out his statutory duties, and we look forward to a swift conclusion to this matter."

5 Best fighting game I have played.SiScott | 24/11/2012 | See all SiScott's reviews (98)Top 100 Games Reviewer Top 100 Mobile Reviewer As a complete and absolute NOOB with fighting games, i was a bit worried I would buy this and end up disliking it like most other fighting games I have tried over the years.But I had always wanted to play Super Smash Bro's, but was put off by the fact it is on Wii.Now PS3 has its own version and it is a lot of fun and very accessible for noobs and experts a like. A lot of online reviews have made out that the control mechanism is overly complicated, but I fail to see why? I have had no issues playing both offline and online with this game and the controls are very tight, easy to use accurate.Good----- The visuals are amazing on both Vita and PS3.- The locations you fight in are a live, beautiful, well animated, varied, layered and full of PS3 throw-backs.- As mentioned above, the controls seem easy to me - unsure of why expert reviewers have said otherwise?- The man story can be completed for each character in little under 15 minutes each making replay very nice.- The difficulty levels seem spot on to me with easy being easy and hardest given a challenge, but nothing mind-numbing.- The selection of characters is very impressive with each one playing very differently and feeling different.- You can customise your characters skin, intro and outro videos and sound effects.- You can customise your profile.- There is a tone to unlock in regards to skins, icons and backgrounds, etc etc.- Your characters all level up which give a nice sense of progression.- The online gaming was stable and fun (although the vita version takes longer to get started).- YOU GET THE PS3 AND VITA version for the price of ONE!!- Your character progress on the PS3 is translated to your VITA also... (required internet connection), so you can move between both and progress will continue.Bad---- I found one bug on the Vita version where the Vita will go into sleep mode when trying to load an offline or online game because the Vita doesn't seem to recognize the game is still active. It doesn't ruin anything, but you have to press the power button to wake it up and get back into the game.- Some characters are NOT very useful. I love using Kratos, but personally found Nathan Drake to be completely useless when aiming his gun or using his super level 1.NOTE----The only difference I have found between the PS3 and Vita are the graphics slightly and the menu system layout. The layout on the Vita does all the same things, but is is blueish where as the PS3 is greenish. I personally prefer the layout of the Vita menu system better.-------------This is the first time I have continued to play a fighting game and not become bored after finishing the story mode. A very impressive, easy to pick up and play, and get into game.
5 Fab Game - SKILL NEEDEDdata90x | 23/01/2013 | See all data90x's reviews (7)Firstly, I would like to point out that this is first and foremost a party game. The single player campaign, though fun is nothing more than a afterthought. It consists of you fighting various 'all stars' in different scenarios, ending in you killing a boss which is essentialy a giant robot head that spawns more 'all stars'.Where this game shines is in the multi player action. Anyone who has played smash brothers on the wii, this is a very similar game, in my opinion better as the graphics and moves are better.Another review here mentions that it is a button bashing game with no skill required - rubbish. Plenty of skill is required, only someone with no skill would say that when it comes to this game. Each character has 3 different attacks, quick and low, medium and medium, slow and hard. Each attack can be performed in any direction, with differnt effects and outcomes depending where you are facing. Each character also has special moves, tier 1, 2 or 3, which are built up by successful normal hits.This game takes about half an hour to get to grips with and master, but when you and a few mates have got to grips with it, easily becomes a game of skill and technique and very enjoyable. Have proberly clocked up about 20 hours in total on this now and it doesn't get boring. Anyone just 'button bashing' will not last long ...Pick up a copy and enjoy, on that note though, personaly I paid 20 pounds for it and proberly wouldn't pay much more, it is afterall a party game and not something you would spend a huggge ammount of time on if you where playins solo, the game shines when you are with friends. Treat it like a tekken game, i.e. expect the price to go down quickly but stick at the 20 pounds mark for a year or so. Well worth picking up if you have friends :)
4 Great fun with depth of any serious fighter.Davison89 | 04/03/2013 | See all Davison89's reviews (1)Being an avid fighting game fan mainly on the xbox 360 I thought I would buy my first fighting game for the PS3 so I picked this up, I'm a big Street Fighter fan and dabble with other games such as SFxT/MVC but as a youth playing a lot of Smash Bros.This game is kinda a mix of all which is nice. Although the controls are not complicated at all and special moves only require 1 direction and a button, there is a lot of depth into combos moving your opponent around the screen and continuing to bash.So far I am really enjoying it, my only problem is the balancing issue as raiden/kratos are dons of the game and rape all but for 20 pound this game is great!I will be playing this a lot over the next coming months until the ps4 comes out.
2 Button BasherBEDMEISTER | 03/01/2013 | See all BEDMEISTER's reviews (26)This is essentially a button basher fighting game which really isn't what it could have been. You need little to no skill to play and as a result it gets boring very quickly.There is little skill in guiding your character around the screen smashing the buttons to fill your "specials" gauge. Once filled you unleash a move to instantly kill your opponent or opponents.The levels ore great though with strange combinations of games merging to create really interesting background visuals. However the characters get lost in everything going on and it can get too busy at times.The selection of characters (20 ish) is pretty poor with little difference between many. There are also a few characters who have special moves which are simply too powerful - allowing multiple kills and all but ending the battle.It looks and plays great on the Vita however and the online works great however if you like any level of complexity or skill in your gaming then give this a miss - Or at least rent it first before purchasing.

Is Outer Space worth getting?
Games Guru: It's not "outer space," it is the outer space interior decorator. I was not so impressed.
Are there any codes (like letter codes)?
Games Guru: Not that I have heard of—but have you tried dragging the light bulb that appears over your dog's head down to your dog? He'll eat it. (Definitely do not try this with real dogs at home.)
its so hard to get the names you have to keep saying it and saying it its anoying!
Nintendogs got kinda boring after awhile, but the trick Anonymous
told me might help me next time i get on Nintendogs.
i spend a lot of time playing New Super Mario Bros. DS and Skate It. that game is so awesome :D
Is there a cheat to get the jack Russel book I already know you have to go on walks and I have chiwawa and friends and I have lab and friends and I have dalmation and friends and dauchund and friends which would be the best one to use getting it I had the chiwawa on longest but I have 8 dogs on the lab one and I am much better with the lab then all of my other nintendog games please help
This might help you guys to get the fireman's hat. When you hear a siren go on a walk right away and walk past all "?" boxes and then one of then will be the hat. Once you get the hat you most likely get the dalmation.
if you hear a rumor of a helicopter that shoots dog treats dont belive it i bought both helicopters and neither shoot dog bones
hate to break it to you, but the only way is to do bark mode with someone with a chiuaha
I have nintendogs dalmations. DO NOT USE ACTION REPLAY AND WHEN I USED IT I MESSED UP MY GAME AND THEN THE ACTION REPLAY COMPLETLY DIED AS IN IT LOST ALL THE CODES AND I CANT RESTART IT.
i have an awsome shnauzer named pepperrica he loves paintball if your a fan of paintball party with pepperrica!!!
TIP. Before walks-1.put on "lucky collar" .2. feed dog NATURAL dog food and MILK. 3.wash and brush him/her. 4. rub his/her belly and ears. 5. walk . 6. find cool stuff.
I have an awesome Shnauzer named Harry (which I dress up with scholar glasses) who gets me tons of money at agility contests. I also have 2 labs, Muray and Jordan, and a retreiver, Nate, who get me tons of money. I am saving up for the desk and beach homes. Are they worth all the trouble?
same… except mine is a golden retreiver name cinamon (spelled correctliy- only 7 letters aloud)
Hey S try finding your game, search EVERYEHERE.
Have a nice day!!
my friend let me play this game. he has dachshund and friends and his dog keeps forgetting his name and i say it and i keep having to repeat. it is oblivious to anything me and my friend say.
i am not lyin when i say this but for some reason on my game i bought a golden retrever and it is smaller then all the other dogs includieng chuhau
is there any code for a shiba inu how ever you say it lalalalal
to get a shiba inu, you have to perform bark mode with a person with a shiba inu
Someone i have action replay too but nothing bad has happend
p.s. the action replay won't do anything to your ds but thing will be different in your game/games
Don't listen to lab freak!! I tried taking my dog to the like 20 ties now!!!
Here`s a trick. Brush your dog but keep the brush in the center. Don`t move it! Give it a bath.Give it a Then turn your DS off. Put your DS in the charger.Wait a couple hours. This will get you lots of trainer points. So you can get about 950 points in 8 hours.
To lab freak I tried pressing A,B,X,Y,L,R,start,select when I went past the beach like10 times.But it didn't work.
To get a Dalmation you need the Fireman hat.
To get a Jack Russel find the Jack Russel book.
And to get certain dogs you need more trainer points
Okay, it is very hard to get the Fireman's hat and Jack Russel book. I think wearing the Lucky collar helps.
It's Chihuahua. I'm sorry but I kept seeing people spell it chiuaua.
to Tinkerbell,no,your dogs cannot die but if you dont play with them for long they will try to run away
I CAN NOT find the jack russell book or fireman's hat i have all breeds unlocked other than those. I have lab and friends. Also I heard you can go to the beach.
1. go on a walk past the beach
2. when by the beach press A,B,X,Y,L,R, start, select
3. a question box pops up "looks like (dogs name) wants to go for a swim hit yes and awesome items await.
(it may not work but sometimes it does it worked for my friend but not me:(
I need to find out what action replay is and how u enter it in Dalmation
In reply to klr21's comment,
To get a dalmatian, you must first hear a fire truck while on a walk. Then the dalmatian will appear in you kennel.
I hope this helps!
dose any1 know how to get a dalmation? without going into bark mode.plz and thank u
thare is a cheat for 99 ove every thin in the idem box
if you get the fire man hat and trade it for the jack russel book do you not have the special doggie anymore? please I need to know
I tried a,and r and pressed them together but it did not work.
Hey Xterminaor I pressed A,R and it does NOT work.So how do I do it to make sure I can do it again to make sure?
hey anyone who trys pressin ar because somone said use ar,
ar means action replay
that'll do it, someone. I turned my beagle into a flea, but then I couldn't turn him back. Just restart you're game, use AR to get some money if you want.
and don't believe your cousin. she's lyin'
Do you know how to restart your game?Press L1 and R2.Then it will ask you if you want to restart.Also my cousin said her dog had pups.Can they have pups?I don't believe my cousin.

Repulse Bay
Some of the beaches on Lantau and Cheung Chau Islands are nicer and quieter, but Repulse Bay scores extra points for its proximity to the city. In just a 20-minute bus ride from Central you can be soaking up the sun in Repulse Bay. To ensure a quieter beach experience, avoid the central portion of the beach where tour buses from the Mainland tend to unload; opt instead for eastern portion. You'll find grocery and convenience stores in the area where you can buy supplies for a picnic lunch, but expect prices to be higher than if you stock up in the city before coming.

Alonzo Jackson ready to prove himself...
Well its about time!!!
Alonzo Jackson arrived at Steelers minicamp having dropped eight pounds. Now, he'd like to drop something else - the label attached to his name that reads "second-round bust." The Steelers drafted Jackson 59th overall in 2003, hoping the former Florida State star could upgrade their pass rush. At the time, Steelers coach Bill Cowher said, "It would be nice to create sacks without some of the blitz pressure we've done." It still would. But Jackson, who played defensive end in college, has yet to show that he can help in that area or any other. He has dressed for only nine games in two seasons and has yet to record a sack. Humbling? "You could say that," Jackson said. "You could say a lot of different things. But all that is behind me. I'm trying to go out this year and make it happen. I understand what you need to do to be an NFL player now. "I'm ready to rock and roll." http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/trib.../s_332310.html |

"I was a little nervous about my cards since I had never used you before, but I got them today and I am happy to say they are great! I will use you again. Suzanne"
"I had ordered cards from another company, and was so dissapointed in the quality. Not with Tiny Prints.This card is sturdy (corners don't fray or bend) color is brilliant, and it has impressive quality. It is small, but I have received several compliments on the unique size and style. I love it!"
"I ordered business cards for my mother as a gift and I was worried the paper might be thin and the quality only okay. I was really happy with the outcome and she was thrilled too."
"I love the design. I would have used purple in the outer edge area, if I knew I could. The printed text & line would have been better darker, though I do love the card...very special feeling. Card weight feels very good."
"I have ordered from Tiny Prints before. I like that I can customized my project. The quality and customer service, excellent!"

How To Subtly Change Your Hairstyle
Kate Winslet, Jennifer Aniston–heck, even Justin Bieber–when these celebrities changed their signature hairstyles, everyone had an opinion. Even if you're not famous, changing your default 'do is always a risk. If you've ever made a hairstyle change you've regretted, consider these low-risk tips from Nexxus hairstylist Kevin Mancuso . They'll help you make subtle changes with a big impact–and avoid a makeover disaster!
Try on Jennifer Aniston's hairstyles in the Makeover Studio!
If you've always dreamed of going lighter, but the thought of covering your head in peroxide gives you night terrors, then subtle highlights like Vanessa Hudgens' are for you. Mancuso's tip: Tell your hairstylist to "use a sheer toner over highlighted hair to subtly enhance the color, richen it and make it more three dimensional." If you're already blonde but have always dreamed of going to the dark side, add some lowlights!
Try on Vanessa Hudgens' hairstyles in the Makeover Studio!
If you're not ready to make the chop like Jennifer Aniston, then you can always try one of the hottest hairstyle trends in Hollywood right now: the faux bob. "If your hair is layered you can put the longest layer up and let the shorter layers hang loose to get an idea of what your hair may look like at that length," Mancuso advises anyone considering a drastic hair length change.
Top 10 Faux Bob Hairstyles
You probably change your wardrobe to follow current trends; why not switch up your hairstyle? "This past Oscar season was retro-inspired. The most notable trend was side-swept, half-up, half-down hair styles that hung over one shoulder rather than to the back. A soft wave was added for extra glamour," Mancuso says. Try Dianna Agron's gorgeous half-up, wavy 'do.

Bangs are totally in this spring, but you might not be ready to commit to their maintenance and hairstyle limitations. Luckily, the geniuses who came up with hair extensions have finally unleashed fake bangs on the world. The bangs, which retail for $30 at Urban Outfitters, come in six different hair colors. They can be hand-washed and styled, so experiment with different fringe looks like Kim Kardashian did at a recent event!

This tip may sound ridiculously obvious, but think about it: when was the last time you changed the way you part your hair? Deep side parts like Lo Bosworth's are hot this spring, and switching your part can reveal new angles on your face.

If you don't want to get a haircut, even something as simple as repairing your split ends can change the appearance of your hairstyle. Mancuso recommends using Nexxus ProMend. "It binds up to 92% of split ends in just one use for actual lasting repair. The results and feedback I've gotten from celebrities and clients is five star!"

Put down the hair iron, the blow dryer and the curling iron and step away from the straightening serum. Not only will your strands (which you've probably been taming into submission for years, right?) thank you, you'll be totally on-trend with the natural hair seen at spring 2011 runway shows and on A-listers like Mila Kunis.

Check Out Student Savings on the Adobe Creative Cloud Package
Adobe is encouraging creatives to subscribe to a Cloud-based suite of their programs versus selling downloads to individual software products. The current price for students on the website is $29.99/month (Stephanie locked in a one-year contract for just $19.99 a month - maybe if you contact Adobe directly you might be able to improve the monthly rate from what's advertised on their website). As Stephanie told us,
You get EVERY program Adobe has to offer. Of course I signed up, but I just wanted to let you know. It's really an amazing offer, and I thought you might want to let other students know about it. You do have to sign a one-year contract, and may have to show proof that you do attend school.

The Broadway League, formerly the League of American Theatres and Producers and League of New York Theatres and Producers, is the national trade association for the Broadway theatre industry. Its members include theatre owners and operators, producers, presenters, and general managers in New York and more than 250 other North American cities, as well as suppliers of goods and services to the theatre industry.[3]
The League was founded in 1930 as the "League of New York Theatres and Producers". It was founded by Broadway theatre operators to further common interests,[4] with the main purpose of fighting ticket speculation.[5] The League's first successful act was the writing of the Theater Ticket Code (together with Actors' Equity) which later became a state law.[5] In the following years the League expanded its charter several times, serving at time as the chief negotiator for producers with craft unions and Actors' Equity.[5] With the decline of Broadway in the 1980s the League changed its name to the "League of American Theatres and Producers".[5] On December 18, 2007 the League changed its name to the current name, "The Broadway League".[6]
Sponsored events[edit]
The Tony Awards[edit]
The Antoinette Perry Awards for Excellence in Theatre, more commonly known as the Tony Awards, recognize achievement in live American theatre and are presented by the Tony Award Productions, a joint venture of American Theatre Wing and the League, at an annual ceremony in New York City. The awards are for Broadway productions and performances, and an award is given for regional theatre. A discretionary non-competitive Special Tony Award and the Tony Honors for Excellence in Theatre are also given.[7][8] The awards were founded by the Wing in 1947, and the League started co-presenting them in 1967.[9][10]
The Touring Broadway Awards[edit]
The Touring Broadway Awards (TBAs) recognize outstanding achievement in Broadway plays and musicals that tour North America.[11] Founded in 2000 by the League, the awards were known until 2004 as the National Broadway Theatre Awards.[12]
Broadway on Broadway[edit]
Broadway on Broadway is a free annual outdoor concert kicking off the Broadway season each September, produced by the League and the Times Square Alliance. The event takes place in Times Square, which is shut down for the event.[13] The event was conceived in 1992 as a welcome party for delegates to the Democratic National Convention, which was held in New York that year. The concert returned in July 1993 and 1994 and moved to September on 1995. It has been held in mid-September ever since.[14] The 18th annual show took place on September 13, 2009 and included performances from the casts of 21 musicals.[15]
Stars in the Alley[edit]
Stars in the Alley was a free annual outdoor concert in Shubert Alley in the heart of Manhattan's Theater District, produced by the League. It was usually held the week of the Tony Awards, and marked the official end of the Broadway season. The 21st annual event was held on June 6, 2007, and the casts of dozens of Broadway shows took part.[16] The event has not returned in 2008 and 2009, and is not planned to return on 2010.[17]
Other notable events[edit]
- Broadway Under the Stars: an annual evening concert that was first held in 2002[18] and was held until 2006.[19]
- Tony Awards Preview Concert: a cabaret-style concert featuring songs from Tony-nominated shows held in 2008[20] and 2009.[21] It was not held on 2010.[citation needed]
Internet Broadway Database[edit]
The Internet Broadway Database (IBDB) is an online database of Broadway theatre productions and their personnel. It is operated by the Research Department of the League.[22]
The League serves as the central hub for statistical information about Broadway theatre production in North America. Its research department maintains historical data on individual playhouses and productions. In addition, many reference documents, including weekly box office grosses and season-by-season statistics, are available to the public, journalists, and scholars via the website. The Research department also publishes annual reports that track trends in the industry over time including the Demographics of the Broadway Audience and Broadway's Economic Contribution.[23]
Other notable services[edit]
- Broadway Green Alliance (BGA) (formerly Broadway Goes Green): an initiative that promotes environmentally friendlier practices in theatre production, launched in 2008.[24]
- Broadway Fan Club: A monthly newsletter [25]
- Broadway Speakers Bureau: encouraging high school and college students to explore non-performance careers in theatre[26]
- Apple Awards: a program rewarding efforts to support education programs relating to Broadway or touring Broadway shows that was started in 2003[27]

We are pleased to announce that several of Mike's albums are currently on display at the Justina M. Barnicke Gallery (Hart House, University of Toronto):
Rightfully Yours, considers performative insertions into daily
activities implicated in the politics and ethics of institutions,
professions, sexuality, and nationalism. The artists included in the
exhibition avoid the theatrical stage, choosing instead the public
realm— a site regulated by laws, cooperation with official structures,
and the suspicions of other civilians. 'Common knowledge' about their
chosen location is subverted through public performance, adopting the
legitimizing power of graphic design, and enhancing the social
function of everyday objects. Sneaking into the Venice Biennial
dressed as a soccer player and challenging visitors to games of skill;
overlooking the Canadian hinterland as rangers examining the sexual
regimentation of scientific knowledge; questioning the right to
represent nationality through the figure of the beauty queen, these
artists dissemble known positions and open them up for reevaluation.
Rightfully Yours, examines the practices, approaches and presentation
models employed by artists who use the transformative qualities of a
'strategic self'. The strategic self is a specific attitude and
working model taken from a lived situation and history. This becomes
the artist's subject and can involve the assumption of the appearance
of professionalism through the adoption of its tropes and infiltration
of organisational structures. These performative actions present an
image critical in understanding the politics, attitudes and divisions
of specific locations.
Artists: Wendy Coburn, Steven Cohen, Shawna Dempsey and Lorri Millan, Alicia Framis, Alison S.M. Kobayashi, Mingering Mike, Mattias Olofsson, The Yes Men, Camille Turner, Sislej Xhafa, Your private viewing of Borat, Ali G, and Bruno.

Food Allergy ResourcesEosinophilic Esophagitis
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EE): Questions and AnswersWhat is an Eosinophil? Eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, are an important part of the immune system, helping us fight off certain types of infections, such as parasites. Many different problems can cause high numbers of eosinophils in the blood including allergies (food and environmental), parasite infection, eosinophil associated gastrointestinal disorders, leukemia, and other problems. When eosinophils occur in higher than normal numbers in the body, without a known cause, an eosinophilic disorder may be present. Eosinophilic disorders are further defined by the area affected. For instance, eosinophilic esophagitis means abnormal numbers of eosinophils in the esophagus. Separate files are available for individual disorders: Eosinophilic esophagitis, Eosinophil-associated gastrointestinal disorders, and Hypereosinophilic syndrome. Image 1: Eosinophil, Courtesy of Dr. Margaret Collins What is EE? Eosinophilic esophagitis is characterized by the infiltration of a large number of eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, in the esophagus (the tube connecting the mouth to the stomach). Eosinophils are an important part of the immune system, helping us fight off certain types of infections, such as parasites. A variety of stimuli may trigger this abnormal production and accumulation of eosinophils, including certain foods. Eosinophilic esophagitis means eosinophils infiltrating the esophagus, itis means swelling. People with EE commonly have other allergic diseases such as asthma or eczema. EE affects people of all ages, gender and ethnic backgrounds. In certain families, there may be an inherited (genetic) tendency. Image 2: Upper gastrointestinal tract Eosinophils are not normally present in the esophagus, although they may be found in small numbers in other areas of the gastrointestinal tract. Diseases other than EE can cause eosinophils in the esophagus including gastroesophageal reflux diseases (GERD), food allergy, and inflammatory bowel disease. EE cannot be accurately diagnosed without first treating for reflux with acid blocking medicines, such as proton pump inhibitors. What are the symptoms of EE? Symptoms vary from one individual to the next and may differ depending on age. Vomiting may occur more commonly in young children and difficulty swallowing in older individuals. Common symptoms include:
How is EE diagnosed? In individuals with symptoms consistent with EE, an upper endoscopy with biopsies is needed for the diagnosis. The endoscopy is often performed after treatment with reflux medications have failed to relieve the symptoms. Medications for reflux include proton pump inhibitors or histamine-2 blockers. During an upper endoscopy, the gastroenterologist looks at the esophagus, stomach and duodenum (first part of the small bowel) through an endoscope (small tube inserted through the mouth) and takes multiple small tissue samples (biopsies) which the pathologist reviews under the microscope. Even if the esophagus appears normal, the biopsies may show EE. A high number of eosinophils (counted per high power field) suggest the diagnosis of EE. GERD also causes eosinophils in the esophagus, but typically far fewer. The pathologist will also look for tissue injury, swelling and thickening of the esophageal layers. With EE, the eosinophils are limited to the esophagus and not found in other areas. Once the diagnosis of EE is confirmed, food allergy testing is typically recommended to guide treatment. Skin prick testing to different foods is the most common type of allergy testing. Treatment
Most children and adults with EE respond favorably to dietary treatments. The dietary restrictions are guided by food allergy testing and fine-tuned with food trials once the symptoms have resolved. Elimination diets, in which all positive foods on allergy testing are removed from the diet, are one type of dietary treatment. An elimination diet may be the only treatment needed for some individuals with eosinophilic esophagitis. Elemental diets, in which all sources of protein are removed from the diet, are another dietary therapy. The elemental diet includes only an amino acid formula (building blocks of protein), no whole or partial proteins. Simple sugars, salt and oils are permitted on an elemental diet. Food trials involve adding back one ingredient at a time to determine specific foods causing a reaction. Food trials begin after symptoms resolve and eosinophils have cleared. Medications for EE most commonly include steroids to control inflammation and suppress the eosinophils. Steroids are used if dietary measures do not resolve the symptoms. Steroids can be taken orally, intravenously or topically (swallowed from an asthma inhaler). Patients with EE may require additional endoscopies to assess how the esophagus is responding to specific treatment. The initial diagnosis of EE can be overwhelming and often affects the entire family. A positive attitude and a focus on non-food activities go a long way in learning to live with EE. With proper treatment, individuals with EE can lead a normal life. Copyright © 2005, American Partnership for Eosinophilic Disorders (APFED), all rights reserved. Reprinted with permission.

Avery County, created in 1911, is nestled in the majesty of the Appalachian Mountains, the oldest mountain chain in the world! Avery County also has the highest elevation of any county seat located east of the Rocky Mountains, reaching 5500 feet above sea level. Newland, the County Seat, is 3621 feet above sea level, making it the highest county seat in the Eastern US.
Recreational opportunities abound in Avery County, with numerous lakes, rivers and waterfalls, all testaments to the beauty and splendor of nature. Approximately half the county lies within the Pisgah National Forest, making it ideally suited for hiking, camping, fishing and hunting. We are the home of Grandfather Mountainand the "Mile-high Swinging Bridge." If sports are more to your liking, there are several golf courses for your warm weather enjoyment, and Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain ski resorts for cold weather fun.
The Town of Banner Elk and its surrounding areas offer a quality of life that is sought by many folks today; a beautiful mountain retreat away from the busy crowds where one can still have access to the finer conveniences found in larger metropolitan areas. This beautiful Avery County setting is surrounded by some of the highest mountains east of the Rockies including Grandfather Mountain and Beech Mountain. The Blue Ridge Parkway traverses the county just six miles from town. Banner Elk is home to Lees McRae College and features a lively arts and crafts cultural scene, complete with an intimate pedestrian shopping district of upscale boutiques and outstanding restaurants, several of which are regularly featured in national travel and food magazines.
This area offers a wonderful year-round climate, with four distinct seasons. Spring blossoms beautifully with rhododendron and mountain laurel. Summer features sunny days for outdoor activities and cool evenings for relaxation. Fall bursts forth in a palette of brilliant colors while Winter provides skiing and cozy nights by the fireside. The higher elevations of this region make for cooler summer temperatures. In fact, Avery County's seat, the Town of Newland, and neighboring Beech Mountain are the highest county seat and incorporated town, respectively, in the eastern United States. Don't be fooled by other mountain towns that claim cool summers but have lower elevations. If you are looking for cooler summer temperatures, you can't do any better than the High Country.
The Town of Boone is a university town in Watauga County, atop the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina and serves as the county seat and market town. Boone acquires its name from the famous pioneer and explorer Daniel Boone, who on several occasions camped at a site generally agreed to be within the present city limits.
The town was incorporated in 1872 and its current population is 17,751. Boone has the highest elevation (3,300 feet) of any town of its size (over 10,000 population) east of the Mississippi River. During summer, high temperatures in Boone are typically 76°F or below, noticeably cooler than the lowland areas to the east and south. Summers are also considerably cooler than most parts of the Carolinas. Winters are colder with sleet and snowfall common.
Located off the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway, Boone offers its residents and visitors a four-season playground for sports and outdoor activities. Boone is recognized by travel journalists as an "ultimate outdoor adventure destination" in the Southeast.

Widespread rain showers are occurring across our region as an upper level disturbance pushes inland today. The cold front itself will move onshore this afternoon, and behind it will come the pool of cold air — some of the coldest we've seen this year so far. Showers are expected to increase in coverage today as the sun comes up. Once the coldest of air moves inland, conditions will become favorable for thunderstorm development.
Snow levels will drop to 6,000′ this afternoon and then to 5,000′ into Wednesday morning. As the temperatures cool, rain showers will turn to snow showers in the higher terrain — especially above 6,000.' Although accumulation may be hard at Diamond Lake and Lake of the Woods, expect a couple of inches of snow across the highest peaks and thus the highest passes. The system will shift east tomorrow but showers will still linger across the region, this will be snow showers 5,000'+.
By Thursday, a warming and drying trend will move into the Pacific Northwest. Afternoon highs will return to seasonal values by the weekend.

Alexandria Man Sentenced to 111 Months for Multiple Fraud Schemes
ALEXANDRIA, Va. – David Lee Parker, 50, of Alexandria, Va., was sentenced today to 111 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for perpetrating several different fraud schemes throughout the past six years.
Neil H. MacBride, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia; David E. Beach, Special Agent in Charge of the United States Secret Service's Washington Field Office; and Earl Cook, Alexandria Chief of Police, made the announcement after sentencing by United States District Judge Gerald Bruce Lee.
On Feb. 21, 2012, Parker pled guilty to one count of access device fraud, two counts of wire fraud, two counts of aggravated identity theft, and one count of fraud in connection with computers. In a statement of facts filed with his plea agreement, Parker admitted to conducting four distinct fraudulent schemes since 2006:
- Fraudulent Credit Cards: Parker obtained and used numerous credit cards in the names of his elderly grandmother and grandfather, as well as in his own name and his teenage daughter's Social Security number. Parker did not have permission to obtain these cards, but he nevertheless used them to make more than $70,000 worth of unauthorized purchases.
- European "Hard Times Cafe" Franchise Investment Scam: Making numerous false statements, Parker convinced two individuals to invest in the European franchise rights to the Hard Times Cafe. As a result of these misrepresentations, investors lost more than $120,000.
- False Contract with French Government: Parker convinced a former girlfriend to give him more than $90,000 to relieve him of an employment contract with the French government. In reality, Parker neither worked for the French government nor used that money to pay the French government.
- Improper National Security Agency Access: Based on misrepresentations about the extent of his background and experience in the intelligence and national security fields, Parker obtained and exceeded authorized access to secure National Security Agency computer databases. Parker used this improper access for his private financial gain—namely, to further a government consulting contract.
This case was investigated by the U.S. Secret Service and the Alexandria Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney Chad Golder is prosecuting the case on behalf of the United States, with the assistance of the Alexandria Commonwealth's Attorney's Office.

John Davies: The ski's the limit after scanning reveals a few empty ewes
LIKE many others, we began the year with Merthyr Cynog more like an Austrian village than a Welsh one.
The guests in Pentwyn - especially the children – were very happy with skiing and sledging an added bonus.
We had gathered the ewes off the nearby Epynt range just before the worst of the snow, so apart from the difficulty of getting about, the sheep were healthy and reasonably easy to feed.
We scanned in the first week of January. Our man plans his days very well and the only concern was whether we had to put a tractor on his little scanning trailer to get it here. As it turned out the snow stopped and he managed fine. The different bunches scanned well apart from the range ewes, with too many younger ones empty.
We will need to check the tups next year. Perhaps the soldiers weren't the only ones firing blanks! The sheep shed has been cleaned out after being the calving shed and all ewes are now housed.
It was nice to see some green grass after having a snow covering for so long. However we did buy some skis and had some great fun with the kids and neighbours sledging and skiing. Two neighbours, who had never skied before, came to try one afternoon. As with all learners it's great fun to watch.
We took some young cows to St. Merryn which had caused or were likely to cause problems (they were a bit mad!). I was pleased with their average of £920.
We also took some heifers the following week through drifts on the Beacons, but were a little disappointed with the average of £870. The store trade in Builth Wells market seemed better when I called by - someone must be getting a better deal than me somewhere.
Rugby has re-started after a month's break. Both myself and the boys are a little unfit! Also we have been practicing a new venture for Breconshire Young Farmers. For the first time we are entering a drama in the Welsh speaking Wales YFC competition.
It's based on the period 70 years ago when the Epynt was requisitioned by the Government for a military training area, which saw many farming families having to move at short notice. It was a huge loss to the language and culture of the area.

UTEP Counseling Psychologist: Children Involved in School Shooting Will Experience Trauma Differently
POSTED: Friday, December 14, 2012 - 6:17pm
UPDATED: Friday, December 14, 2012 - 6:23pm
EL PASO — Although school shootings have been in the news before, Friday's shooting in Connecticut may have involved the youngest victims.
The very young children who witnessed the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT will have to deal with the trauma of losing their classmates and friends.
Doctor Rick Myer with the Department of Educational Psychology at UTEP has responded several times before to provide support after school shootings, and also helped New York City residents cope with the trauma after the September 11th attacks.
He said children deal with trauma differently, but the kids will likely experience feelings of guilt, anger and sadness. He said they are most likely to turn to the people they know best.
"For kids, probably they're going to have difficulty understanding what happened, they'll be feeling guilty, they also may regress a little bit developmentally. What's going to be most helpful for them is for the parents to provide support," said Myer.
Myer said adults will also deal with the trauma of the shooting in many different ways.
For now, he believes everyone is involved in what he calls the, "emergency phase," in which they all those impacted come together to provide support.
Myer also predicts a delayed response the next 48 hours, in which the people involved will begin to feel anger towards the preparation and response.
He said it is common for people to question if there was a crisis management plan in place.
Even so, Myer said he believes there is no way to ever really prepare for this type of incident.

Rio teacher out to prove 'gringos' can samba, too
Tuesday, February 12, 2013
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — With their gyrating hips and feet that move so fast they dissolve into a blur, samba instructor Carla Campos' students are barely distinguishable from the swarms of scantily clad dancers in Rio de Janeiro's Carnival parades. What's make them different is where they come from: abroad. |

Cold roll forming machine is widely used in many fields, not only increase the output, but also greatly improve the quality of the products, so both of the design and manufacture of cold roll forming machines are very important.
Firstly, design and manufacture of roll form machines according to the average stress for different principles, all of the rollers stress averagely, with the balance of the wear and prolong the service life of cold roll forming machine.
Secondly, usually roll forming machines manufacturers adopt C12MoV material with wear-resisting performance, but its specific strength and hardness is contradictory, when doing heart treatment, it must use the red hardness of C12MoV material, through twice or even three times tempering can be reached to the hardness after quenching.
Thirdly, orbit arc part of this kind of forming machine is the core position of sliding rail, the circular arc position after the first few moulded, in the back pass rolling vertical edge to deal with the established arc, through the roll up and down to do effectively control protection, otherwise, the circular arc part will be changed in the process of drawing of the materials. When R has shrunk as triangles, because of the steel ball cannot be in the end which makes the two contraction produce noise. When R becomes bigger, shaking with rail, the usage of slide rail track makes it fuzzy, uneven, slide rail deformation and shorten its life of the cold roll forming machine.
Fourthly, it is the rolling stability problem of the roll form machines; it usually meets the deflection of around the problem of the material in the race during the production. Actually, it is a single set of roller with asymmetry, the left side force bigger makes the deflection of materials to the right. If the right side of the force is bigger, the deflection of materials is to the left. There are some methods of solution of cold roll forming machine. The first one is calculating accuracy in the deformation zones with the materials to make better symmetry rolling processing. The second one is as far as possible avoid stress in deformation area, the gap between regions should keep the same when equip it. The third one is making the material move smoothly in rolling glide of the forming machine.
Fifthly, the rolling problems appeared in production, it is produced by unbalanced force. Unbalanced force to make it bend. Should stress evenly to design force equilibrium with processing of group to make install this kind of roll forming machinery conveniently.
Sixthly, roller processing accuracy is the important key, so producing special tools under the projector, then magnifying 20 times to check the forming machine. At the main drive side, using of cone roller bearing to ensure the spindle radial runout in 0.04mm, and confirm the spindle will not move from the left to the right. There is gap between ordinary ball bearing, which cannot avoid axial channeling in precise transmission. http://www.broswright.com/

The black Lino Pro VII Backpack from Manfrotto is a slightly larger version of the Lino Pro V Backpack. It holds a bit more gear than the Pro V, is a touch heavier and is just as rugged and dependable. You're sitting home - the phone rings and you're suddenly offered a gig cross country and you need to race to the airport to catch an 8am flight. Or, you're between jobs and just want to spend a day outside shooting in the field. The Pro VII gives you all the tools you need to get the job done. With a capacity of two DSLRs (one with grip and mounted lens, 5-7 additional lenses, flash, standard-sized and pocket-sized tripods, smaller items like batteries, cables, pens and notebook as well as a 17" (43.2cm) laptop), what more could you ask for in a comfortable backpack that is made from high-quality nylon and Italian leather?
Not only will the bag hold all this gear but it does so in a compact, safe and organized fashion. The rear unzips to reveal the main compartment that contains movable touch fastened dividers that permit you to sculpt the interior to accommodate whatever equipment you need on a given day. Shooting telephoto? No sweat. The Lino Pro VII Backpack gives you the capability to store your DSLR with grip and 70-200 attached in a ready-to-shoot position. Smaller fixed, zoom or wide angle lenses can be individually nestled within the additional padded dividers. Your 17" laptop is safely camped within its own dedicated pocket and separated from everything else by a padded divider that still allows it to be readily accessible. Small items such as lens caps, pens and cables are stored in another separate flap area within their own zippered or slip-in pockets.
One of the "wow" features of this bag is the touch fastened special top access opening that allows you to remove that DSLR with your 70-200 from the main compartment without having to stop and open the entire pack - a real security benefit. Unseal the top panel, grab the camera, get the shot, replace the camera and you're off again.
Need a tripod? No problem. Attach it to the front of the pack with the included straps. Just need a table top tripod? Again, no problem. You have two unique integrated pockets that are perfect for fitting both sizes of Manfrotto pocket series tripods. This bag has left nothing to chance.
The zippers are all coated to prevent water from seeping in. However, Manfrotto didn't stop there. There you are out in the field shooting or even waiting on the curb to grab a cab and it suddenly starts to rain or snow. For many other packs, precipitation would spell disaster but not the Pro VII. Simply roll out the included rain protector and the bag is instantly covered - protected from the elements. It can also be used just to keep the bag clean.
Carrying the Lino Pro VII Backpack is easier than carrying a tune. The harness system - back straps and rear back pad are all padded. The straps are fully adjustable and the addition of a chest strap prevents the pack from swinging out of kilter and helps to keep you "hands-free". If you're just need to snatch the pack from the trunk of your car or off a luggage carousel at the airport, use the handy top carry handle. The waist belt, also padded, snaps closed securely with male/female plastic snap buckles. Even with the tripod mounted, the pack is comfortable and well-balanced. Your shoulders will thank you for purchasing this pack.
