U.S. government scales back Obamacare impact for 2014
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. government on Wednesday scaled back its projections for Obamacare's impact in 2014, saying the law would generate slower healthcare spending growth and provide coverage to only half as many of America's uninsured as anticipated last year.
The biggest factor in the change stems from the U.S. Supreme Court verdict last year allowing each state to decide whether to expand the public Medicaid program for the poor under President Barack Obama's healthcare reform law. Republican leaders in nearly half of the nation's 50 states have rejected the expansion.
Obamacare exchanges seen headed for 'rocky' enrollment start: expert
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Obamacare is likely to have a "rocky" enrollment start on October 1 in some U.S. states, because of ongoing technology challenges facing new online health insurance exchanges, a leading expert told U.S. lawmakers on Tuesday.
"At this moment, not a single state appears to be completely ready," W. Brett Graham of the Salt Lake City-based consulting firm Leavitt Partners said in testimony to a Republican-controlled oversight panel in the House of Representatives.
U.S. delays deadline for finalizing Obamacare health plans
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Obama administration has delayed a step crucial to the launch of the new healthcare law, the signing of final agreements with insurance plans to be sold on federal health insurance exchanges starting October 1.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) notified insurance companies on Tuesday that it would not sign final agreements with the plans between September 5 and 9, as originally anticipated, but would wait until mid-September instead, according to insurance industry sources.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Obama administration has delayed a step crucial to the launch of the new healthcare law, the signing of final agreements with insurance plans to be sold on federal health insurance exchanges starting October 1.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) notified insurance companies on Tuesday that it would not sign final agreements with the plans between September 5 and 9, as originally anticipated, but would wait until mid-September instead, according to insurance industry sources.
Some states' claims of Obamacare price spike are 'incorrect:' HHS
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Forecasts by some U.S. states that show health insurance costs skyrocketing under Obamacare are "factually incorrect," Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said on Monday, saying the administration will set the record straight in September.
Sebelius, President Barack Obama's top healthcare adviser, did not name the states.
U.S. official challenges claim that Obamacare hurts workers
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A top U.S. healthcare official on Thursday challenged claims by Republican lawmakers that the country's healthcare reform law is causing workers to lose hours or benefits, saying she is aware of only isolated cutbacks.
At a stormy House of Representatives committee hearing, Marilyn Tavenner, who heads the Medicare and Medicaid programs, said she has found only anecdotal evidence of employers reducing work hours or benefits because of worries about President Barack Obama's landmark reforms, which take effect on January 1.
Obamacare technology testing slated for September: official
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Obama administration is preparing to subject the information technology backbone of the new state and federal healthcare exchanges to final "dress rehearsal" testing that could continue until just before the online marketplaces are slated to begin enrollment on October 1.
The administration "has already completed the majority of the development of the services required to support open enrollment beginning on October 1," Marilyn Tavenner, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, said in written testimony that appeared on the website of a congressional oversight committee on Wednesday.
'Obamacare' mandate delay will cost $12 billion, affect 1 million workers
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama's decision to delay implementation of part of his healthcare reform law will cost $12 billion and leave a million fewer Americans with employer-sponsored health insurance in 2014, congressional researchers said Tuesday.
The report by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office is the first authoritative estimate of the human and fiscal cost from the administration's unexpected one-year delay announced July 2 of the employer mandate – a requirement for larger businesses to provide health coverage for their workers or pay a penalty.
Republicans prepare for 'Obamacare' showdown, with eye to 2014 elections
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – With the Obama administration poised for a huge public education campaign on healthcare reform, Republicans and their allies are mobilizing a counter-offensive including town hall meetings, protests and media promotions to dissuade uninsured Americans from obtaining health coverage.
Party officials, political analysts and lobbyists say the coming showdown will mark a new phase in the years-old battle over healthcare reform by shifting the focus from political ideology to specific examples of how "Obamacare" allegedly falls short, just as the administration presses the public on its benefits.
U.S. sees lower-than-expected Obamacare insurance costs
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Hoping to gain the high ground in an escalating war of words over Obamacare, the U.S. administration on Thursday forecast sharply lower than expected insurance costs for consumers and small businesses in new online state healthcare exchanges.
A report by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said data from 10 states and the District of Columbia shows preliminary 2014 premiums on the lowest-cost mid-range "silver" plans in those marketplaces to be 18 percent lower on average than earlier administration and congressional estimates.

Researchers from the University of Exeter, Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry (PCMD), are working with clinicians from the South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SWASFT) and the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (RD&E) to reduce the time it takes from the start of a stroke to the administration of vital clot-busting drug treatment.
The researchers are from the PCMD-based National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Peninsula Collaboration for Health, Operational Research and Development (PenCHORD), which is part of the NIHR Peninsula Collaboration for Leadership and Applied Health Research and Care (PenCLAHRC).
The study is investigating the whole process of emergency treatment that follows when a person suffers an acute stroke from a blocked artery in the brain. For most patients in this situation, the earliest possible administration of the clot-busting drug Alteplase can greatly improve their chances of recovery called thrombolysis. The drug is currently licensed for delivery up to three hours from the onset of a stroke, but in that time the patient needs to call an ambulance, get to hospital, have a brain scan, and be assessed by specialists before receiving the treatment.
The research team is working with healthcare professionals from SWASFT and the RD&E to analyse the various steps by which a stroke patient is identified, transported to hospital and treated. This includes paramedics, the emergency department (ED) team, triage nurses, the acute stroke team and the radiology department (which performs the brain scans).
By investigating what happens 'on the ground', researchers have been able to create computer simulations that imitate the various permutations of stroke victim identification, transport, arrival at hospital and treatment.
The computer model takes into account the number and level of healthcare professionals involved with each case, the time of day or nigh

Classes across Oxfordshire are run by Saz Sunthareswaran, who met her husband, vascular surgeon Rame, when they crossed paths at work; she was the resident physio on Ward 17, and they got together at a hospital ball shortly afterwards.
Having spent 8 years as a physiotherapist specialising in orthopaedics, it's no surprise that Saz was keen to start swimming with her daughter, Sophia, as soon as she could. So impressed was she that after her first lesson she came straight home and looked into training as a Water Babies teacher, little imagining that within the year she'd have fully qualified and bought the local business, too!
Saz has since added three more daughters to the family - Alisha, Jasmine and Amber. Thankfully she also has a bit of help these days, with the wonderfully enthusiastic Catherine, Meggie, Abi and Sharon who are the friendly voices in the office, while a team of highly qualified teachers - Vicky, Davina, Claire, Wes, Becci, Natasha, Aloma, Sam and Marie - completes the Water Babies crew. (Although Catherine, Meggie and Abi are also qualified teachers, so you're guaranteed to have a teacher on hand when you phone the office!)
They'd love to hear from you, so why not give them a call? Or check out the banter on the Water Babies Oxford Facebook page.

Michael Essien started the match on the bench and saw midfield rivals Frank Lampard and Michael Ballack both get amongst the goals in the 3-0 victory.
"I don't think I can keep everybody happy for a long time because sometimes players that don't play feel unhappy," Grant told Sky Sports News.
"I want them to play all the time, but they are happy if we win which is more important.
"It is not easy with this squad, but I prefer a squad like this than the problems I had in December or January."
Grant, though, has admitted his delight at seeing Chelsea book a place in the latter stages of Europe's top club competition and has revealed he feared Olympiacos' firepower
"We are in the next round," Grant added. "We knew before that Olympiacos always scored away so it was important to keep a clean sheet and more importantly to score.
"When it became 2-0 and we controlled the game we kept the ball very well and the game was finished."

With the Mumbai police not making any headway in the murder of Andhra techie Esther Anuhya, whose body was found in Bhandup, her parents on Friday met Union home minister Sushilkumar Shinde, seeking arrest of those involved in the crime.
Anuhya's father SPS Prasad said, "Shinde assured all possible help in nabbing our daughter's killers." Prasad alleged that they did not receive any help from the Mumbai police and the Maharashtra government. The 23-year-old techie's burnt body was found on January 16. "No parent should face the trauma and mental agony that we had to bear while looking for her," said 59-year-old with his wife Jyotsna standing next to him.
In a letter to state home minister RR Patil, referring to his meeting with Esther's parents, Shinde asked the state to conduct an in-depth inquiry and take stern action against the guilty.

A miniature heat exchanger. A small housing provides a heat exchanger surface, contains a spray shower head. A cooling fluid enters through a base plate and is sprayed through holes in the shower head on to the underside of the cooling surface. The heated coolant exists through exit holes in the nozzle and out a coolant outlet in the base plate. The device may also be used as a heater to provide temperature control to localized areas or large surfaces.
1. A miniature coaxial mounted heat exchanger for removing or providing heat with a fluid, said heat exchanger being comprised of:
a. a housing defining a cooling surface of less than 16 cm2
b. a base plate machined from a single piece of metal comprising a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet, and
c. a nozzle machined from a single piece of metal contained within said housing comprised of a plurality of spray holes and a plurality of exit holes,
said base plate being soldered to said housing so as to form a sealed unit except for said coolant inlet and said coolant outlet, and
said base plate, said nozzle and said housing being arranged to permit said fluid coolant to flow through said coolant inlet through said spay holes in said nozzle to impinge on the underside of said cooling surface and the flow out said exit holes in said nozzle and out said coolant outlet.
2. A heat exchanger as in claim 1 and further comprising a coolant inlet tube and a coolant outlet tube said tubes being soldered to said base plate to direct liquid into and out of said heat exchanger.
3. A heat exchanger as in claim 1 wherein said housing is made of copper.
4. A heat exchanger as in claim 1 wherein said nozzle is clamped in place between a surface of said base plate and a ridge on said housing.
This invention relates to miniature heat exchanger devices and in particular to miniature liquid cooled devices.
Since the beginning of the electronic industry there has been a need to cool small electronic components. More recently, with the advent of high power lasers there has developed a need to cool mirrors used to direct high power laser beams. Some of these mirrors are segmented mirrors comprised of small mirrors with dimensions in the centimeter or millimeter range. Generally these components are cooled with air currents produced by electric fans. However, in many instances it is not feasible to accomplish the required cooling with air.
There had been some attempts to provide the needed cooling with thermo electric coolers but these devices are relatively expensive and in many cases are not satisfactory. Some small liquid heat exchangers have been produced. However, these devices have been complicated, difficult to fabricate and expensive such as silicon microchannel plate devices.
The present invention provides a miniature heat exchanger. A small housing provides a heat exchanger surface, contains a spray shower head. A cooling fluid enters through a base plate and is sprayed through holes in the shower head on to the underside of the cooling surface. The heated coolant exists through exit holes in the nozzle and out a coolant outlet in the base plate. The device may also be used as a heater to provide temperature control to localized areas or large surfaces.
FIG. 1 is a section view of the three principal parts of the present invention.
FIG. 2 shows the underside of the cooling surface.
FIG. 3 shows the top of the shower head.
FIG. 4 shows the top of the base.
FIG. 5 shows the parts assembled.
FIG. 6 shows the inlet and outlet tubes in place.
FIG. 7 shows an assembled unit cooling a mirror segment.
FIG. 8 shows a perspective view.
FIG. 9 shows an assembled unit cooling a laser diode.
FIG. 10 shows cooling curves.
One preferred embodiment of a miniature cooler made according to the teachings of the present invention can be described by reference FIGS. 1-7. The cooler is made from three basic parts shown in sections in FIG. 1. The three parts are the housing 2 milled from bar copper, the nozzle 4 machined from bar brass and the base plate 6 also milled from brass. The area of cooling surface 8 of miniature cooler is 1 square centimeter. By reference to FIG. 5 and FIG. 1 the reader can see how the three parts fit together. Nozzle 4 is held in place between ridge 10 of housing 2 and the upper surface 12 of base 6. The joining of the three parts is extremely simple. A layer of 95/5 alloy solder paste manufactured by Lake Chemical Company is placed around the base 6 at notch 14 and the parts are fitted together as shown in FIG. 5. Additional 95/5 solder parts is placed around the circumference of slots 16 and 18. Outlet tubes also brass are fitted into slots 16 and 18 respectively as shown in FIG. 6. The assembled unit is then placed in a holding fixture and the unit and the holding fixture is paced in an oven at 550 degrees for about 8 minutes. The heated solder seals the unit together. The complete unit is shown in perspective in FIG. 8.
The inside of the top surface of housing 2 is slotted to increase heat transfer by increasing surface area as shown in FIG. 1 and view AA shown in FIG. 2. FIG. 3 is a top view BB of nozzle 4 showing nine spray holes 20 and nine exit holes 23. The spray holes 20 are 0.8 mm diameter. The size of these holes are chosen to define the flow rate of cooling or heating water through the heat exchanger. FIG. 4 is view CC and shows the top view of base 6. The tubes have an OD of 3 mm and ID of 2 mm. At a pressure of 15 psi, the water flow rate through the cooler is 500 milliliters per minute with the spray and exit holes having the dimensions as set forth above.
All orifices are kept relatively large so that low pressures may be used and stoppage to particulate matter is significantly reduced compared to other methods such as microchannel plate devices.
The embodiment described above has been used to cool laser mirror segments as indicated in FIG. 7 and laser diodes as indicated in FIG. 9. The part to be cooled is attached to the cooling surface of the miniature cooler with a high temperature epoxy or a low temperature solder. For the epoxy, we prefer Eccobond 285 produced by Emerson and Coming Inc. a subsidiary of WR Grace Co. The flow stream is as shown in FIG. 9. Water enters through tube 22, passes into reservoir 26 and sprays through spray holes 20 onto the bottom side of cooling surface 8 to remove heat produced by laser diode 28. The warmed water passes out through exit holes 23 and exit tubes 24. FIG. 10 shows the calculated and performance curves for this 1 cm�1 cm embodiment FIG. 10 also shows the calculated performance curve for our 0.5 cm�1 cm model. At a fluid pressure of 20 psi the thermal resistance is about 0.1� c/w.
For a 1 cm2 diode producing 200 watts the hot surface would be about 20� C. greater than the cooling water temperature. The flow rate of the cooling water at a 20 psi pressure difference would be about 500 ml/min and the temperature rise would be about 25� C.
Applicants have fabricated several miniature following the teachings of this invention. Practical sizes could be as small as about 1/4 cm2 to about 16 cm2.
While the above description describes specific embodiments of the present invention, the reader should not construe these as limitations on the scope of the invention but merely as examples. Accordingly, the reader should determine the scope of the invention by the appended claims and their legal equivalent.

But he also says he will refuse to sign legislation that extends the current top rates on incomes over $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples.
Instead, he is pushing Congress to renew expiring tax cuts for all income below those levels as an interim measure — an offer Boehner and Republicans generally say is unacceptable because it would mean higher taxes on small business owners.
Bowles said during the day that Obama might be willing to back off his demand that the top rate revert all the way from 35 percent to 39.6 percent, where it was a decade ago before tax cuts sought by then-President George W. Bush took effect.
At the White House, spokesman Jay Carney sidestepped questions. "If I told you how much flexibility the president had, it would eliminate his flexibility," he said.
He noted that Obama has said he will listen to alternatives, but the spokesman said, "The most basic, simplest, most efficient way to achieve that revenue target is by returning the rates for top earners back to those that were in place in the Clinton era," when the top rate on personal income was 39.6 percent.
The goal of the talks is to produce a long-term deficit-cutting deal that will allow the cancellation of tax increases and spending cuts scheduled for the end of the year that numerous economists say threaten a new recession.
While the obstacles are numerous, there are other political imperatives pushing the two sides toward an agreement.
Unemployment benefits expire for some of the long-term jobless at the end of the year. Additionally the government is expected to need an increase in borrowing authority early next year or face the possibility of a default. Any agreement on that is expected to raise the current $16.4 trillion level.
Obama wrapped up the day by meeting with CEOs from about a dozen corporations, many of whom came away optimistic that an agreement could be reached that would help the economy.
"They feel like this can be done if there is a willingness on the other side to get in a room and do it," said Arne Sorenson, Marriott's president and CEO, who called Obama's approach "resoundingly reasonable."
Sorenson said he urged the president and his team to "do as much as you possibly can now. Don't just talk about down payments, small down payments that leave the uncertainty hanging out over 2013. Because I think the uncertainty would be a threat to the economy."
Associated Press writers Andrew Taylor, Jim Kuhnhenn and Ken Thomas contributed to this report.

Through circus posters, explore the changing nature of commercial printing from wood block to the modern offset lithography process.
Circus MuseumView Calendar
The Ringling is offering free Museum Admission to active Military personnel, including the National Guard and Reserve and their immediate families from Memorial Day, May 25, 2015 through Labor Day, September 7, 2015. Please present your current Military ID at the Admissions counter.
The printed advertising that was the dominant media for circuses of the 19th and early 20th centuries offers a fascinating glimpse at how American attitudes slowly evolved, becoming increasingly informed and interested in the cultures and experiences of people from around the globe.
Don't look down! We'll learn about Chevalier Blondin and other daredevils of tightrope history, play a tightrope game, and make our own tiny tightrope walkers that need to keep their balance on the high wire.
One great way the Ringling Brothers Circus would advertise is through a circus parade, with flashy circus wagons carrying exotic menagerie animals. We'll check out some of the circus wagons in our Circus Museum, and play a related game.
Discover unexpected similarities between early museums and modern circuses, and see how both used curiosities to appeal to their respective audiences. This Gallery Walk & Talk will be led by Museum Staff.
While the styles of clowns have evolved since the circus debuted, the role of the clown as a visual symbol of the circus is still strong. This exhibition examines the use of the clown image in circus advertising from the 1850's to present day.
Enjoy free admission to The Ringling and other participating museums throughout the United States.

Peta, your experience is proof positive that toms don't need to be pampered.
Jessica Rose wrote (see)
Bit of an update for you, I have a few flowers on my tomato plants.. how many times a day would you water the plant in this heat? thanks
Bit of an update for you, I have a few flowers on my tomato plants..
how many times a day would you water the plant in this heat?
The bottom line is water when the plants need it. The mix shouldn't be permanently damp. Don't be afraid to let the mix dry out. I don't mean leave the mix dry for three or four days, but a day without water will not hurt a tomato plant. They're immensely tough, durable critters and will produce at their best if treated as such. More tom plants are damaged by overwatering - and overfertilising - than neglect.
All sorts of factors contribute to a container watering regime. Smaller pots dry out quicker than larger ones, terra cotta dries out quicker than plastic because terra cotta "breathes". The temperature and number of hours in direct sunlight also contribute.
Dove's watering regime (two posts above) sounds about right. You'd need vastly hotter temperatures than you're currently getting to justify more watering.
My toms are in the ground. The temps have been in the mid-30s for a couple of weeks with nothing lower than 22C overnight. I water - very deeply - every four or five days.
Dove, I replied. You probably won't get the email alert.
No I'm not. And only getting emails re post responses at about 6pm every day. In one big hit. The site's problems are ongoing.
I'll go and check my PMs!
comp, you could have had several issues. Where were the plants? Inside or outside? How often were you watering and fertilising?
everos, don't be tempted to overfertilise them. If they're planted in good, healthy soil in the first place they just don't need much extra nutrition.
Once when the first fruit appears, then maybe a couple more times over the length of the growing season. Tom plants pumped full of nutrients are less likely to produce to their full potential than plants left to cope for themselves.
Toms, like most plants, exist to reproduce themselves - which, in the tom's case, means producing fruit. They'll be much more inclined to reproduce themselves if they feel ever so slightly threatened. Stuffed full of nutrients, they feel no real need. You'll get fruit, certainly, but less than the plant is capable of giving you.
Bob, I think there's a general tendency to overfertilise in the veg garden. Starting with good healthy soil usually means there's sufficient goodness available.
Bf, doesn't matter what the temperature is, the plant will tell you if it needs water. As I say, check them at night after the warmth of the day has passed.
My toms are all in the ground and we're getting temps in the 30sC every day with low-20sC overnight. I water deeply about every four days. Toms don't need pampering. They're very sturdy - tough, even - critters. Mollycoddle them and they won't produce at their best.
Bf, water by whichever means lets you soak the mix without splashing either water or mix up onto the foliage. Don't blast with a hose, for example. Think in terms of a gentle soak, and I stress the word soak.
bigolob, you're right about the watering, but warmer weather shouldn't mean more fertiliser. Overfertilising can be a cause of tomato problems. It bloats the plant, making it susceptible to ailments. Toms in containers shouldn't need fertilsing more than once every three weeks to a month.
George, pepper seeds always take a while to germinate, a lot longer than tomatoes, for example. I've often had to wait for a month or more.
It's also highly likely that the supermarket variety is a hybrid, hence the seeds won't grow true to type anyway.

By James Slater - Unbeaten British big man Tyson Fury, now training with Hall Of Famer Emanuel Steward, will have his first fight outside of his home country on December 18th, as he will face 40-year-old trial-horse Israel Carlos Garcia on the under-card of the intriguing Jean Pascal-Bernard Hopkins light-heavyweight title clash.
Fury, still only 22 and just 12-0(9) as a pro, hasnt been quite as active this year compared to his previous two years as a pro, but he will make it four fights in 2010 with the bout against the Puerto Rican with the decent 20-3(11) record. But will Fury, all 67 and approx 260-pounds of him, make it to 13-0 a week on Saturday?
It will be interesting to see how many, if any, improvements Steward has made on Fury. Although he is very much still a youngster learning his trade, some critics have given Fury a tough time over some of his fights. Fury has been referred to as physically soft and lacking in stamina. And its true, Fury looked a little fleshy and struggled to get the win both times he met the experienced John McDermott. But those experts who like what they see in the unbeaten hope, point to the fact that Fury dug deep and proved how much he wanted it in both fights.
Against Garcia, Fury will probably get a chance to shine and show off any new tricks he has learnt under Steward. King Kong, as Garcia is known, has been in with some good names in his time; the problem is he lost to them. Chris The Nightmare Arreola took him out inside three-rounds back in 2008, and unbeaten Russian hope Denis Boytsov stopped the 40-year-old a round quicker the following year. However, as has been noted by fans on this web site, Arreola and Boytsov met Garcia after having had well over 20 pro bouts each. So, for Fury to be facing Garcia, in his Canadian debut, after just 12 pro wins, isnt bad going at all.
No, Garcia doesnt figure to test Fury, but at the same time he is not a terrible opponent for the fighter who has already earned a ton of ink in the UK.
Scheduled for eight-rounds, Fury-Garcia will, in my opinion, do well to reach the final bell. Some critics say Fury is more of an arm puncher than anything else, but he has stopped all but three of his victims. And even if Tyson doesnt hit as hard as Arreola or Boytsov, he should be able to get the job done quite quickly on Dec. 18th.
I wouldnt be too surprised if Fury, really wanting to impress before his biggest audience yet, took Garcia out in the 1st-round.

A seriously ill man, sent word to his sibling with whom he had bitterly parted many years ago over a property dispute that he wanted to see him before he breathed his last. He realised he only had a short while to live, and hence, wanted to forgive and be forgiven.
As the sibling arrived, so did the doctor who was attending on the patient, bearing the good news that all the tests had turned out to be negative and, in fact, the dying man was going to live. When the patient learned this he lashed out at his brother saying that he neither needed forgiveness nor was he ready to forgive and the brother could actually leave immediately.
Toxicity in relationships, caused as they are by friction and fissure, do not let go of us, instead it festers and corrupts our very being. How do we combat it and in its place restore well-being and peace?
While it might seem simplistic, the answer lies is employing enabling language, devoid of judgment, harshness and mala fide intent.
Instead of making judgments, based on untested assumption, which leads to manipulation and then making demands on the other, if we solicit the facts, which then encourages us to speak about how we are affected, and own up to our part in the transaction, express our feelings, tell the other that we value them and convert demand to request, we realise that both of us have actually contributed to the possible deterioration. Once we acknowledge our share of the responsibility, we can re-build a relationship if we both choose to.
Let us not forget that 'life is short'; we are here today, and gone tomorrow. Therefore, if we do not forgive or let ourselves be forgiven, it might be too late.

Over the last several years Loreen had researched information online or in books and magazines only to end up with a lot of facts, figures and information that was irrelevant or incorrect. Many times she was led from one website to another and finally after wasting a lot of time and effort, was at a dead end or required to purchase something that may or may not have the information she was looking for. This frustration led Loreen to begin her own 7 years of in-depth research and testing. Subsequently, this resulted in her writing 2 books with concise, easy-to-follow formats. To reduce confusion and answer queries, this book contains an extremely useful, well researched and detailed glossary of all the natural ingredients used or recommended within the book.
With the years spent researching, testing, trialling and writing her book, Loreen feels that it will benefit those looking for affordable petrochemical-
"I am excited to be able to offer a guide to effective beauty care that can be easily streamlined to suit all skin and hair types,' said Loreen. "I've worked hard to make it as user-friendly as possible."
Harmful chemicals are in virtually everything we use on our bodies every single day. Validated scientific research shows how dangerous, damaging and down right unpleasant these hazardous chemicals are to health and well being. Harmful, toxic, synthetic, petrochemicals, preservatives and artificial fragrances damage, dry and age skin over time and help destroy the environment. This book shows how they can largely be avoided with very little effort.
Included in this timely book are easy-to-make bath soaks, melts, scrubs, oils using salts, oils, milks, herbs and teas, to moisturisers using aloe, butters, honey, essential oils and botanical extracts. Also effective solutions for acne, cellulite, age spots, wrinkles, puffy eyes. Using ingredients from nature and readily available there are hair conditioners and treatments, herbal rinses, dandruff control, shampoos and highlighting tips. Last but not least, luxurious hand, foot and nail care tips and recipes.
Originally from Brisbane, Queensland, Loreen Doherty was a professional singer for many years and has travelled and lived in several countries. From an early age, Loreen has been passionate about practising healthy natural alternatives in all areas of life. Her two books are a culmination of 7 years of extensive research and development, testing and experimenting using healthy, beneficial, natural ingredients.
Loreen Doherty lives happily on the beautiful Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia with her husband and four children.

Brisbane Roar have upset Adelaide United's four-game winning streak by holding them to a 1-1 draw at Suncorp Stadium.
In an entertaining contest, the Reds took the lead in the 27th minute through Mathew Leckie before Brisbane promptly responded thanks to a Thomas Broich free-kick to give his side a share of the spoils.
A-League Week 7
Brisbane Roar: 1 (Thomas Broich 34')
Adelaide United: 1 (Mathew Leckie 27')
Venue: Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane
Crowd: approx. 8,000
Referee: Ben Williams
Yellow cards: BR - Erik Paartalu 53'
AU - Iain Fyfe 80', Cassio 86', 88', Eugene Galekovic 88'
Red cards: AU - Cassio 88'
The much-anticipated clash was an enthralling contest early with both sides making their intentions clear from an attacking point of view.
Brisbane were taking it right up to the in-form side in the competition, who for once were being the hunted and not the hunter, but Adelaide were holding their own and managed to take the lead in the 27th minute through Mathew Leckie. GOAL The young gun took control of the ball in midfield before working his way towards the area and letting fly with a left-footed shot which beat Roar keeper Michael Theoklitos to make it 1-0.
However, seven minutes later, the Roar were back on level terms when German import Thomas Broich finally grabbed his first A-League GOAL. His free-kick from the left flank whizzed past the dense group of players in the area and past an uncertain Eugene Galekovic to make it 1-1 in the 34th minute.
Despite both sides conceding first-half goals, the match continued to excite with a constant end-to-end play occurring but there were to be no more goals as the opening stanza ended with the score tied.
Brisbane were slightly on top in the opening 20 minutes of the second half with the likes of Broich and Matt McKay performing well in midfield and trying their luck from long range but the Reds were looking more free-flowing in attack.
That free-wheeling style almost got them back in front in the 78th minute when Marcos Flores managed to cut back for Sergio van Dijk who produced the 'miss' of the season from right in front of the goalmouth with Theoklitos stranded but also thankful for the Dutchman's inefficiency.
The Roar pushed hard for a winner late on in the piece but it wasn't to be as Adelaide kept their unbeaten start to the season intact and managed to remain on top of the table.

"I got this recipe from a restaurant in California 10 years ago. It's been a staple in my refrigerator ever since. It's excellent with rotisserie chicken. You can lower the calories if you stream in olive oil in replace of the mayo."

1 head
romaine lettuce, stem-end trimmed and discarded
1/2 bunch
fresh cilantro, stems removed
green onions
1/4 cup
jalapeno peppers, seeded
1 clove
salt and ground black pepper to taste
This tastes very similar to an aji sauce I find at a local Peruvian restaurant. The first time I made this was about a month ago, and I've been hooked ever since! It's great on chicken, rice, and can even be used as a salad dressing. To achieve the preferred consistency, I like to use a mixture of two-thirds mayo and one-third olive oil instead of just mayo. Thanks Dorothy!
AWSOME recipe ! Added about 1/8 cup of Olive oil instead of the entire 1/4 cup mayo. Taste was great!

This stuff is addicting. Thank you!!
I used more mayo, left the seeds in the jalapenos, and didn't have any green onions....

Firefighters are hoping for a reprieve from the massive blazes they faced this summer as local agencies announce the end of the 2010 wildland fire season Monday.
"All the major fires in California happened in Kern County this year," Kern County Fire Department spokesman Sean Collins said.
The Bull, West, Canyon and Post fires left thousands of acres scorched and destroyed dozens of residences and other structures. Crews of firefighters from agencies both in and out of Kern County battled the blazes. The Red Cross provided services to residents displaced by the fires. It was a busy, devastating fire season.
The West Fire alone destroyed 23 homes and 41 outbuildings in the rural Old West Ranch community. It burned 1,658 acres after investigators say it was ignited by two men cutting steel pipes with a mechanized saw. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger even declared a state of emergency in the county to rapidly deploy firefighting resources to the area.
In all, the Kern County Fire Department extinguished 618 vegetation fires with a total of 8,484 acres during the 2010 fire season. The Bakersfield office of the Bureau of Land Management responded to 155 wildfires totaling 5,300 acres, and the Sequoia National Forest/Giant Sequoia National Monument and Tule River Reservation Fire Department fought 71 wildfires that added up to 30,000 acres.
With more rainfall and cooler weather, there's less chance of a large wildfire breaking out, Collins said. But residents still need to maintain defensible space around their property by clearing brush and other flammable materials, he said.
"You only need a little wind to dry the moisture off the grass," Collins said.
Bureau of Land Management spokeswoman Debbie Santiago said this fire season agencies experienced several large fires at the same time that really tested them. She said Bakersfield BLM was a lot busier than the year before, when they fought 90 fires. She attributes the increase partly to the huge quantities of tall, dry grass the area had after last year's rains.
"There's still a lot of dry fuel out there," Santiago said.
There have been some smaller fires in the past few days and, even though seasonal forces are leaving until next year, BLM and other agencies will be prepared and ready to respond, she said.

Tyler Hansbrough
#1 Pick
Dwight signs extension, of course.
I wish.
For Bird to trade for any start, they would have to sign an extension immediately. That's giving up too much talent for a rental.
3 scenarios for the draft, starting with my favorite first:
1. Pacers trade up for Justice Winslow
2. Take WCS or Stanley Johnson (this is the theory of a player falling); Make trades (Hibbert/West/others) for additional picks - George Lucas and Rakeem Christmas are players I'd love to have with a late first/early 2nd round
3. Trey Lyles
I'm sure my opinion will change many times before the draft though.
I think there are probably at least 10 teams Dwight would rather play for before he would even consider Indiana. Not because we're not a team on the rise or a solid franchise. Indy just isn't sexy enough.
It's not a bad deal, but we would gut the roster with Hibbert and Granger gone, plus Hansbrough and picks. Howard would be unlikely to resign with Indy and even if he did, he would own about a third of our cap space and we'd be in a similar position to where we were with JO.
Not saying it's out of the realm of possibility, I would just say it's slim to none.
A couple of things.
First, I think this is exactly the kind of deal that Orlando is looking for from a potential trade partner. They get solid talent in return, and don't have the same hard knocks of a complete rebuild.
Second, the Magic are intent on sending Turkoglu's deal wherever they trade Dwight, which is a much bigger contract that we can still absorb. Also, if we make a deal along these lines, we would want to consider the new time lines for their deals. Turkoglu has three years left including this year. Although, the final year is only guaranteed at $6M. If we traded for Dwight, I think the intentions would be to go after Deron and we would want to facilitate that move with expiring contracts. Hedo would prevent us from obtaining Deron. We would need to get back Redick, Von Wafer, and Daniel Orton instead of Hedo, which would cost us a hell of a lot more value. It would almost certainly include Collison, and a couple more firsts, which really guts the team.
Call it a deal with where we get Howard, Redick, Wafer, and Orton and send them Granger, Hibbert, Hansborough, and Collison with three firsts. This would be our squad.
PG - Hill, Price
SG - Redick, Stephenson, DJones
SF - George, Wafer
PF - West, Humphries, Amundson
C - Howard, Foster, Orton
I like it but I'm not sure it is worth it. I can see why Bird wouldn't jump at this immediately.
"Your course, your path, is not going to be like mine," West says. "Everybody is not called to be a multimillionaire. Everybody's not called to be the president. Whatever your best work is, you do it. Do it well. You cease your own greatness when you aspire to be someone else."
