If you ask a nurse, physician, administrator, technician, or anyone else in the renal community they will all tell you that there is always room for change and improvement for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) to receive the best care.
Barry Straube, MD, director of the Marwood Group and former chief medical officer for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), talked about important issues that had yet to be addressed during the last day of the National Renal Administrators Association (NRAA) conference on Friday, October 12.
He said he feels that there are some clinical outcomes that haven't been addressed, such as: volume control, dialysis time, patient rehabilitation, quality of life, and functional status. In addition to those listed above, ESRD costs are growing and a continued burden on those with the disease.
Although a majority of ESRD patients are using Medicare as a primary source of insurance, those non-Medicare patient rates are growing.
There's no doubt that ESRD care is improving when it comes to keeping patients alive, he said, but transplantation is not keeping pace with the growing numbers and CKD identifications and management is lacking.
Less than one percent of ESRD patients are represented as Medicare patients, Straube added, but they account for 6.2 percent of total Medicare costs. In addition, peritoneal dialysis (PD) and home hemodialysis (HHD) cost less but are used less.
Straube said there has been improvement made in anemia management, dialysis adequacy in terms of solute, all-cause mortality and hospitalization, and some preventive services like immunizations. Although those improvements have been made, significant gaps remain such as infections, fluid control, cardiovascular disease, nutrition, patient safety, and options to in-center dialysis such as PD, HHD or transplantation.
"I want to add that, whether you know or not, with my new career I deal with investors on Wall Street and around the world and they're very interested in what the U.S. state of medicine is doing," Straube said.

Tampa City Council holds bike workshop to improve cycling safety
Matthew Cimitile
WMNF Drive-Time News Thursday | Listen to this entire show:
After a rash of nine cyclist deaths on Tampa streets since July, both Hillsborough County and Tampa are working to quickly change the image of Tampa as one of the deadliest cities for bicyclists. The Tampa City Council met this morning to discuss ways of making Tampa a friendlier bike city.
Gena Torres of the Hillsborough County Metropolitan Planning Organization presented ideas to the Tampa City Council that can be established within the year to make the roads safer for both cyclists and car drivers.
âThat sign that you see there, that can be placed on the back of a sign that already is existing. You will not need to pay for another pole or another sign, just put a sticker on the back of it that says biker you are going the wrong way. If we can get more of these out it is at least going to stop some of these problems. This also is an outreach piece that we have to get out to people, if cyclists wearing blue a motorist is not going to see them until they are 50 feet away. It is an incredible difference if they are dressed properly. These are some of the things we think we can do in the first year or so."
Other short-term ideas included in the MPO plan were painting shared lane markings on the road and giving out bike lights to cyclists who ride at night. Long-term, Torres said the Department of Transportation can narrow traffic lanes to make room for bike lanes, replace some parking spaces with bike lanes and conduct an outreach and education awareness program for both cyclists and drivers.
Alan Snell, director of the Southwest Florida Bicycle United Dealers, praised the recommendations as the first step to create a biker friendly city.
âI support the suggestions that Gena summarized and I think they are sound and sensible and an outstanding positive first step when dealing with bicycle issues in the metropolitan Tampa area. Also think it is an ideal opportunity to use this as a launching opportunity of the shared road markings that Gena showed on roads that are traveled by bicyclists, especially routes taken from South Tampa to Downtown and Downtown to USF campus.â
According to federal statistics, Florida is the deadliest state for pedestrians and bicyclists and Tampa is one of the most dangerous cities in the state. The county averages 7 bicycle fatalities per year with 87 severe crashes.
City council member Yvonne Capin echoed many council members and bicycle advocates in the room when she said that signage and education can be implemented soon to address the problem.
âAlong with our resurfacing, we are talking about paint on the road and that would be a share road. I live very close to Euclid and that is what is exactly on there. It serves two purposes. It lets people know that this is also bicycle on the road and it is educational. It reminds you constantly when you see these on the road that you are sharing that road and bicycles are there, it is educational, and I would agree with council member Mulhern that that is something we can implement right away.â
Hillsborough County, the City of Tampa and the Metropolitan Planning Organization will be hosting several bike safety workshops over the following months while developing and implementing a bike safety plan.

Saints and Sinners 9.5 Program Update
Registration is heating up. James Currier's Literary Fiction workshop is almost full. Since this topic seems to be of particular interest to Saints and Sinners 9.5 Participants, Jeff Mann (pictured) has agreed to help us expand our workshop offerings by modifying his session. We are very excited to offer the revised workshop with
JEFF MANN: Mixing it up: Adding Literary Techniques to All Genres of Writing
In this session, participants will examine the use of a variety of literary elements in multiple genres. Mann will take participants on a guided exploration of how to successfully incorporate a variety of writing techniques normally associated with a single area of writing into a fictional story.
How do you incorporate the beauty of lyrical language normally associated with poetry into a fictional piece without overworking your prose? Learn ways to incorporate aspects of nonfiction into your fiction to help build a better sense of place and time. How do you write realistic and powerful erotic scenes that also advance the plot of your story? What elements normally associated with literary fiction can be incorporated into other genres to strengthen character development and the literary narrative?
Sharing work with the class, facilitator Jeff Mann will offer insight on participants' writing as well as provide samples of models to emulate.
Requirements for Mann's workshop: Participants should submit one essay or chapter of a larger nonfiction or fiction work for critique. The work will be distributed to Mann and the other participants in this workshop. Sign me up!
Jeff Mann is a professor and member of the graduate faculty at Virginia Tech University. His creative work spans several genres. His creative nonfiction deals with the gay/lesbian experience, as well as the vagaries of aging, the legacies of family, the many facets of eroticism, and travel in both Europe and North America. He is a Lambda Literary Award winner for his volume of short fiction, A History of Barbed Wire.
**There are also still a few spots open in Radclyffe's Managing Point of View in Genre Fiction and Fay Jacobs's Memoir: Defining a Life. Click here to read full descriptions for all four workshops and to register for Saints and Sinners 9.5. We will be in touch very soon with those that have registered for any of workshops to begin collecting and distributing works for critique.
If you have any questions about Saints and Sinners 9.5 and registration, please email Paul Willis at: firstname.lastname@example.com" target="_blank">firstname.lastname@example.com or call: 504.581.1144
Saints and Sinners 9.5, is made possible by the generosity of the John B. Harter Charitable Trust and the Hotel Monteleone. The event will provide attendees with plenty of opportunities for fun and learning all within the historic French Quarter.

Diet Programs From the Thyroid Patient Perspective
Name of the Diet/Weight Loss Program or Service:Jillian Michaels
When did you follow this diet/weight loss program?:2/2009 to 12/2009
My Review
This is a wonderful and very comprehensive program. I followed it closely and lost some weight. I also used their menu plan and followed recipies. You can weigh in every day or once a week and enter a weight loss diary. What is wonderful is you can choose buddies to email on the site I chose four buddies and still write to them till today. There are also wonderful message boards to share with other people all around the country. It opened up a whole new world for me. Unfortunately the only way I am losing 20 lbs now is to increase my Synthroid. My TSH was very high, 40, due to a thyroid complex vitamin I bought off the internet and the doctor had to increase my Synthroid. Now my TSH is 1.7 and I am doing ok and still sticking to the Jillian Michaels guidelines to lose weight.
Did you successfully lose weight on this diet?Yes
How much weight did you lose so far?10 lbs or less
Pros for Thyroid Patients?
Stick to the menu plans and eat very small portions and 5 small portions a day. And get some weight loss buddies. You can support each other. This is the only program that has buddies to choose from. Weight Watchers and Nutrisystem and Sparkpeople.com do not.
Cons for Thyroid Patients?
No cons at all.

I need a sous chef
I'm an east coast transplant who's been in California for about 5 years, SF for 4. I like trying new restaurants, eating, cooking and going to events. My drink of choice is an Vieux Carr? and favorite thing to cook is BBQ. You can catch me at Four Barrel or Philz on my days off, which are Mondays and Tuesdays. I'm a daytime chef so my schedule isn't your typical 9-5. When the standard weekend is ending, mine is just getting started so I'm looking for someone with a similar schedule. I'm interesting in finding a fun, authentic woman who I can enjoy spending time, adventuring around the city and trying new things with (yoga and Cal Sciences anyone?). I'm super laid back when it comes to planning and like to take life as it comes (which isn't to say I'm not ambitious because I'm extremely proactive when it comes to my career). I've recently gotten back into the gym and eating healthier and it's paying off! I'm hoping that you're also health conscious, too.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Wine tasting
Baseball, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.

There are so many great places in SF to list right now. Basically any place with good food and or atmosphere...

What are you making for the 4th of July?
We are going to fire up the oven and make crackers, pita chips,(with some interesting dips and spreads) pizzas, paella and a peach pie. Maybe we will fire up the BBQ and grill pineapple with rum and brown sugar and top it with vanilla ice cream. Break out the homemade beer and wine and soda, sit back relax and enjoy our guests!
Not your typical 4th of July BBQ!!
What is on your menu?
Re: What are you making for the 4th of July?
We had pizza tonight so we'll be ready for retained heat cooking for the 4th. In the morning we'll try a few loaves of bread, then after lunch I'm going to pop a 10 pound turkey in for dinner.
Re: What are you making for the 4th of July?
I've only gone "white" once and cooked about 10 pizzas. We're having about 25 adults and 15 childrend over so I didn't want to try and make that many pizzas on the 2nd go around.
Instead we'll do the standard hamburger and hot dogs and I'll fire up the oven (weather permitting) for some pizza appetizers/munchies.
Have a safe 4th everyone.
Re: What are you making for the 4th of July?
Bonfire on the beach....
cook some brats, dogs, and fresh corn roasted over the fire, potatoe salad.....typical fare....
watch some fireworks...might even drink a beer!
Re: What are you making for the 4th of July?
Well we survived out first major party with our new brick oven. We fired her up at 10:30 and the first thing in the oven was whole wheat crackers, then roasted some chicken for later, as the guests arrived we started to make the first of 6 pizzas. We also made the tomato and goat cheese dip (recipe found here in the FB online cook book) a smashing success! Put out some homemade cheese spread and roasted eggplant dip.
After we all snacked on the some of the pizzas and dips it was time to put in the paella. We have a huge cast iron pot that just about fits in the doorway, everyone gathered round to watch as he put in all the seafood and slid it into the oven way in the back. While the paella was cooking he was still making some pizzas. Due to the fact we needed to slow down the oven for the paella the last 2 pizzas we ok did not get too crispy ohh well. He then put the chicken back in to finish cooking.
When he went to pull out the paella it was ohhh and ahhh time 28 people gathered round to see the unveiling it looked and smelled awesome, better still it tasted amazing!
We then took out the coals and put them in the BBQ pit. Now into the oven went 3 pies, peach, strawberry and blueberry and he sealed up the oven. On the BBQ we grilled pineapple that had soaked in goslings dark rum and brown sugar, yumo! Took out the pies and then put in 13 sourdough rolls (this is for a party at my parents house tonight!)
So she (the oven) got a work out as did we, cant wait for the next event!
Re: What are you making for the 4th of July?
Having done pizza the night before, I tried my first turkey, baked beans and grilled corn. Turned out good, different than Thanksgiving with the smell in the house for three hours driving you nuts. Went out for a boat ride to see every other boat house with activity and then had peach-blackberry cobbler for desert.
I'm enjoying cooking a lot more now days:cool:
Re: What are you making for the 4th of July?
Well this is our M and B season (muggy and buggy) so I let the oven rest. We just cooked fresh vegies inside and a my father surprised us with a slab of ribs which made the vegies taste even better.
Re: What are you making for the 4th of July?
1 Attachment(s)
I just love sitting around the fire and watching stuff sizzle!
Re: What are you making for the 4th of July?
We did the whole roast turkey on the 4th. (recipe in the FB Wood Fired Oven e-book)
RAVE reviews. Everyone loved it. 10 pound bird in 400F oven, cooked to perfection in 90 minutes. I went to pull the foil off at the 90 minute mark and we were already done!

Pull a lollipop out of your mouth and you'll see it. Wake up after drooling on your pillow and you'll feel it. That's right, it's spit, also known as saliva (say: suh-LIE-vuh).
Saliva is a clear liquid that's made in your mouth 24 hours a day, every day. It's made up mostly of water, with a few other chemicals. The slippery stuff is produced by the salivary (say: SAL-uh-vair-ee) glands. These glands are found on the inside of each cheek, on the bottom of the mouth, and under the jaw at the very front of the mouth. They secrete (say: sih-KREET), or ooze, about 2 to 4 pints (or about 1 to 2 liters) of spit into your mouth every day!
Spit is super for lots of reasons. Saliva wets food and makes it easier to swallow. Without saliva, a grilled cheese sandwich would be dry and difficult to gulp down. It also helps the tongue by allowing you to taste. A dry tongue can't tell how things taste — it needs saliva to keep it wet.
Spit helps begin the process of digestion (say: dy-JES-chun), too. Before food hits your stomach, saliva starts to break it down while the food's still in your mouth. It does this with the help of enzymes (say: EN-zimes), special chemicals found in the saliva. The combination of chewing food and coating it with saliva makes the tongue's job a bit easier — it can push wet, chewed food toward the throat more easily.
Saliva also cleans the inside of your mouth and rinses your teeth to help keep them clean. (But remember that spit isn't enough to keep teeth in tip-top shape; you still need to brush and floss!) The enzymes in saliva also help to fight off infections in the mouth.
Most school-age kids have just the right amount of saliva. Sometimes a person may not have enough saliva, but this is usually the result of certain medicines or treatments, some kinds of diseases, or old age.

by one of its subscribers.
You're gonna have to edit the configuration file with a text editor. The
file is probably called /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, or possibly
/etc/X11/XF86Config. If you have both, use the former if it's available,
latter otherwise.
In that file, there should be several lines that looks like this or
something similar:
Modes "640x480"
Change them to read:
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
Then save the file, and restart X. Hopefully that works. If it doesn't,
then we got a little more head scratching to do...

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) -- Gov. Nathan Deal says he's willing to spend state money upfront to start deepening Savannah's busy shipping channel as long as the federal government promises to pay its share of the $652 million project later.
Deal told reporters Tuesday during a stop in Savannah the state has $231 million set aside for the Savannah harbor expansion and "we're ready to spend it."
Savannah and other east coast seaports are racing to deepen their harbors to make room for giant cargo ships expected to arrive via an expanded Panama Canal in 2015. The federal government has approved the Savannah project, but funding from Washington remains extremely tight.
And Deal cautioned that in addition to funding issues, the Savannah harbor still has a couple of bureaucratic hurdles to clear before construction starts.

Doctors say a week at least, the safer the better. I'd fallow the doctors orders if I where you. If youve just givin birth and breastfeeding wait a month to get it put in. Then from there fallow doctors orders. Be sure to take a motrin or tilenal befor getting it put in by your obgyn even if yore in the middle of your pireod.posted 06/12/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Are you sore? If not, you can start having sex immediately after insertion of the Mirena. Here's a link: www.plannedparenthood.org/health-topics/birth-control/iud-4245.htm. Best of luck!posted 03/28/2010 by Heidi's Mom 08
I waited until the next day because of spotting but that dosent happen to everyone. If theres no bleeding you can have sex that day! Oh yeah and after like 2 monthes some peoples periods stop altogether so thats a great bonus! I had mine for about 2 years with no periods and dont worry when you have it taken out you dont bleed forever like when you have a baby lol just regular periods : )posted 03/29/2010 by Brittany57
I had Mirena put in yesterday, and my dr wanted to do it while Im on my period. For me, it hurt terribly, and now my cramps are pretty intense, but he told me to expect that. However, he also told me that Mirena is effective immediately. So I would say as long as no pain, you are good to go! Have Fun!!posted 03/31/2010 by lilmama543
I was told it was affective after 12 hours of insertion and wait to have sex a couple day to avoid infection..posted 02/05/2015 by Kyliesm14
Despite what you have heard, it isn't immediately, nor is it two weeks. Nothing should be inserted into the vagina for 24 hours after insertion. Although you shouldn't have intercourse until you feel comfortable, it is a recommendation of 24 hours.posted 06/07/2014 by Des042814
The ParaGard IUD is effective immediately. Hormonal IUDs are effective immediately if inserted within seven days after the start of your period. If you have Mirena or Skyla inserted at any other time during your menstrual cycle, use another method of birth control like a condom, female condom, or spermicide if you have vaginal intercourse during the first week after insertion. Protection will begin after seven days.posted 04/22/2014 by VitalMilkMom
my Doctor said to wait a week .. but reading thee other post .. I'm girding if you don't have a period .. or on your period you can have sex! :)posted 03/26/2012 by AndrewJaydenzMommy
I had one put in today and they told me to wait 3 days to have sex. I was also on my cycle when I had it put in and they told me not to use tampons either. If I had sex or used a tampon, I could promote infection!posted 11/23/2011 by sadd68
I had Mirena put in under anaesthetic in an operating theatre (failed insertion a month ago due to retroverted uterus in the clinic. In spite of local anaesthetic to my cervix during the first attempt, I had uncontrollable involuntary shaking (normal), but it was the intense burning that stopped my Obgyn straight away.. She did a quick ultrasound and went to plan B (plan B being going to the Operating theatre). She recommends waiting for the initial bleeding to stop before intercourse can resume to reduce the chance of infection. But, can be as soon as 24 hours or as long as 2 weeks! I had mine inserted for menorrhagia or severe bleeding during my period due to being on Warfarin for a blood clotting disorder, so I don't expect my bleeding will settle for several days.posted 10/26/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

Flour Sack Animation Practice (updated 1/3/2013)
I'm ReggieFran, and I'm an animator. I just graduated from an animation program, but I'm always looking for ways to improve myself. This is my first post in the animation section!
I always wanted to do a flour sack animation, but I never had the time to do it while I was in school, so I gave it a go. When I first did this I just wanted to experiment with squash and stretch, timing and weight with a little jump motion, but later on I added the little movement before the jump while playing around with it. I wanted to try out a new movement.
What do you guys think?
Thanks for your time!

Good job, I think your ease-in, ease-out, and anticipation needs a little work, perhaps more frames as he winds up in the first twist and less frames between his second winding motion into the jump to make him seem to explode more off the ground would make the motion seem more fluid. Right now it appears to be a series of 3 movements, 2 twisting motions then one jumping motion.

I can't feel the jump. It needs anticipation.
What is it doing before the jump? I'm not sure.

Thanks guys! I'll add more anticipation before the jump and work on putting more ease in/out on the beginning motion.

I've always found it easier to work with this guy if I give him more form. It's easier to keep the volumes consistent and you can just clean it out on your clean up drawings.
I love this little guy- he's so fun to draw

So I've read the critiques and decided to work more on my flour sack. For now I'm going to focus more on the jump since I want to work on my timing and anticipation for a little bit. Here's what I have now:
This has already been really helpful for me, so please tell me what you think.
Thanks again!

Nice training excercise! May I offer some critique?
You've improved it with an antic, but the areas needing the most improvement (in my mind) are (in order of most importance): Settle, Arc's and Timing.
Settle: When the Flour sack hits, obviously a four sack wouldn't really bounce, but it looks lifeless just stopping dead. You could add a nice heavy settle at the end to bring the jump more to life... Not too springy though.
Arc's: With onion skin turned on, have a look at your arc's. Make sure every corner knot follows it's own arc so the eye can read it as smooth. Avoid letting any frames pop out of that arc.
Timing: Try to have the flour bag stall a touch more in the air and pop quicker during his launch and fall, just like a ball bounce. It will be more exaggerated, but I think it will read even better.
That's my thoughts. This is inspiring though, I just realized despite animation school and years of character animation I have never attempted to animate a flour sack!! Crazy! When I get a chance I might join you in the exercise!

August 14th, 2013 #11
It's a good start. I'm curious about a few things, though. Namely which direction the flour sack is facing, and where he/she is moving in 3D space. At the moment it looks like he's initially facing forward, but then he seems to jump backwards and away from the camera. Except in the end it almost appears to be a sideways move. So I'm wondering if you could tell us which side we're seeing (front or back) and if the jump is away, or towards, or sidewise to the camera. It almost seems like he wants to do a back-flip of sorts!
Hope to see some more progress as you take this further! Keep going!

I'm also a bit confused about the direction. Looks like he's jumping backwards. Staging and silhouette-wise this would work better from a side view, where you could get a nice arc reversal and clear direction in space when he jumps.

Have many AVI files either captured by your camcorders or downloaded from the web and want to upload them to YouTube? If you have tried, you might have found that it is not so easy to achieve your goal. Normally, YouTube accepts FLV, MOV, or MP4 files. Some AVI videos are supported, too.

Before you do the conversion, you can briefly beautify your videos on the app. You can trim the giant file into several segments. Or merge several clips into one file. Moreover, you can also add either text or image watermark to personalize your videos. Changing video effect is available as well.

New report on the Human Library from Australia: The power of one on one
The University of Technology in Sydney, Australia has just published an extensive report on Human Libraries and the challenges of antiracism work titled "The Power of One on One". The paper was written by Tania Dreher and Jemima Mowbray and represents the latest scientific study of the effects, strenghts and weaknesses of the Human Library methodology.
The publication represents the first comprehensive and independent analysis of Human Libraries in Australia and provides an overview of Human Library practices and identifies key challenges for policymaker and practitioners. It also aims to contribute to scholarly debates on anti-racism work and on the benefits of cross-cultural contact or dialogue within that work.
"I am happy to that we are now able to document how the Human Library contributes to the important task of building social cohesion and a greater understanding for diversity. I am convinced that the study will help convince decision makers around the world to invest in programs that can aid local Human Library organizers in their efforts to reach as many readers as possible", says Human Library creator, Ronni Abergel.
The publication is available in English as a free download if you use this LINK.
Thank you to the authors Tania Dreher and Jemima Mowbray for their extensive effort to bring about documentation that can now be used to strengthen the further implementation of Human Libraries in civil society, not only in Australia, but on a global level.

Little Lon Collection
Image: Mug, Copeland and Garrett, Staffordshire
Source: Museum Victoria
The Commonwealth Block is an area in inner-city Melbourne bounded by Lonsdale, Exhibition, Little Lonsdale and Spring Streets comprising. During the mid- to late-nineteenth century, it developed as a working class district, with simple houses, cottage industries and small scale businesses. The area has been regarded as a slum, occupied by criminals, prostitutes and the poor, however archaeological research on the nineteenth-century occupation of the site suggests a more complex history with at least some long term occupants seeking a respectable life. Towards the end of the century many ethnic minority groups were moving into the area and operating businesses, and the early twentieth century saw the construction of a number of small factories.
In 1948 the Commonwealth Government compulsorily acquired the land. The homes and factories that populated the back streets and lanes were razed to the ground, and a large government office block was built in the south-east corner. Ahead of a tidal wave of further commercial development in the late 1980s, an archaeological investigation of the area was commissioned by The Department of Administrative Services and Telecom Australia. In the summer of 1987-1988 over 200,000 artefact fragments were uncovered from the first archaeological dig which took place along Little Lonsdale Street. There have been four further digs since: Black Eagle & Oddfellows Hotels (1991), 17 Casselden Place (1995), Phase 3 Testing (2001), and Casselden Place (2002-2003). These digs produced an additional 300,000 artefacts. Artefacts from all but the Phase 3 Testing season are in Museum Victoria's collection.
The 'Little Lon' collection (named after the site of the first archaeological excavation) provides fascinating insights into the people who lived and worked in Melbourne in the latter part of the 19th century. Archaeologists found magnums that once held the best French champagne; marbles, toy tea sets, dolls and other children's toys; Chinese ceramics, willow pattern plates, Crimean War souvenirs, tokens and coins. Residents purchased homeopathic pain killers, patent medicines and laxatives. They ate cheap cuts of mutton and oysters by the dozen, and the area was infested with rats. Archaeologists and historians continue to analyse the distribution and stratigraphy of objects, to discover more about the people who lived in the district.

opinionBy Richard Wiley
There's no doubt that the MG brand name has cachet notwithstanding the fact that cars carrying the octagon-shaped badge haven't been around in the last 15 years.
The truth is that the Brits are quite partial to reminiscing and reminiscing tends to add a gloss to reality. Let's face it, the last MG, badged the F, was a pretty average piece of kit and the bulk of its progenitors were actually re-badged Rovers. You all know what happened to Rover.
And then there were the sports cars of the 50s, 60s and 70s (and earlier), among them the TD/TF range and the MGA - the twin cam version of which is best forgotten -followed by the MGB in various guises and the overweight and under-performing MGC. The "B" in fixed-head guise was a nice-looking piece of kit until it was slapped with hideous American "safety" bumpers, but it did the sum of nothing to advance technology, borrowing as it did from a hodge-podge of ordinary BMC bits and pieces.
So by now you will have gathered that this writer is not one of those who pays homage to the MG badge, but as I've already acknowledged, there are lots that do which is precisely why the name has been reincarnated in the shape of the MG6.
Chinese firm SAIC bought the rights to the Rover 25 and 75 models in 2004, and also now owns MG rights-holder, Nanjing Automotive. The MG6, in hatchback and saloon guises, owes some of its origins to the Rover 75 platform but is fresher than rumour would have you believe with most of the engineering carried out in Britain.
In South Africa, the CMH Group made the bold decision to import the MG6 and has set up dealerships in the major centres around SA. (I am not aware of any brand representation in Zimbabwe, but 24-month service intervals make this less of a problem,)The subject of this test is the MG6 Hatchback equipped with a 118kW 1,8 four cylinder turbo motor which definitely owes its origins to the once widely-used Rover K-Series engine.
Given the fresh and appealing body design, you'd never guess the history lurking underneath the skin, but if you like attention to detail, you'll like a number of things about the MG6 long before you get behind the wheel.
SAIC is a big player in China (local participation in car manufacture is compulsory) and manufactures other makes, not least a rather well known one which hails from Wolfsburg, Germany. Now everyone knows that VW is rather fussy about design detail and some of this, surprisingly, has rubbed off on the MG. Take the door stays, for example. VW's ingenious triple-position stay which features what I call a needle-bearing design, is good enough to be used in every modern Bentley and it's also used in the MG6. There's no cheap and weak rod here and neither is the bonnet held up by a nasty metal rod. Instead, twin gas struts are employed as they are on the tailgate lid.
Then take a look at how many rubber seals are fitted on the front doors - no less than three. And take a look at the panel gaps. With the exception of a marginally awry left rear door on the test car, the gaps were notably narrow and even and the body-colour bumpers butt up to the bodywork quite perfectly.
The good impressions were massively enhanced in my book by the excellent visual quality of the paintwork. Take a look around the rear number plate recess on most cars and you'll find an awful lot of orange peel in evidence. It's almost like a forgotten area but not so on the MG. On every example I inspected on the showroom floor, the paint in this recess was smooth and very glossy and so too were all the vertical panels which are also orange peel traps on most other cars. So, hats off to SAIC for the excellent external detail finish which is supplemented by 5-hole alloy wheels and front fogs set in a honeycomb grille. The question is, does this appeal extend to the interior? The answer is not definitive because parts are good, and parts are indifferent. The upper surfaces of the doors and dash, which is simple and neatly designed, are swathed in an unusual soft-touch, slightly rubbery looking material, interspersed with metallic finishes, but the lower reaches receive rather hard plastic cladding. Hidden away are four airbags.
The seats are extremely neatly upholstered in a good quality black cloth (which in this mid-range "Luxury" model, extends to the doors) but feature coarsely gradated backrest adjustment while the driver can play with height too. The main instrument binnacle is limited to two primary dials which are on the small side and although neatly marked, are rather coarsely calibrated. In the middle of the dash sits an LCD display which incorporates niceties such as outside temperature, date, a compass, a sound system and optional sat nav. Underneath is an unpleasant-feeling multi-switch which sorts out the info display and at the base of the central unit sit the aircon/ventilation controls which feature neat red graphics. Nearby is the door unlock/lock switch and the ESP switch while an excellent rotary headlight switch (no confusing stalks here) sits on the right and the bonnet release catch, inexplicably, on the left. As you'd expect, windows and mirrors are powered.
The neatly-finished and styled steering wheel is height adjustable and incorporates radio and cruise control functionality. Look around, and you'll find an assortment of bottle holders and binnacle in the doors. Look up to be greeted by a very good quality roof lining but look down and you'll notice average quality carpeting swathing the floor. Those in the back are well accommodated in a decently reclined, comfortable seat that offers very reasonable space and immediately behind them lurks a simply huge and easily accessible boot, the tailgate of which impinges badly on rear vision owing to its near-horizontal rake.
Driving the car is drama and fuss-free although the silly design of the handbrake release makes things a touch awkward in this area and the clutch on the test unit seemed to encourage stalling on take-off unless some slippage was consciously induced. The five-speed manual box shifted fine when warm but was a trifle notchy when cold, the power steering worked unobtrusively and the brakes, with ABS and EBD etc, were powerful and snatch-free.
A MacPherson strut front in combo with a multi-link rear provides very good road manners and good straight line stability and thanks to a stiff bodyshell and decent suppression of extraneous noises, the interior environment is nicely insulated although there's no way you'll keep out the sounds of the slightly coarse 1.8 Turbo four cylinder engine when its asked to stretch its legs.
Certainly, the MG doesn't want for performance but let's say it's not muscle-bound. Having said that, remember that at high altitude, the MG will have a distinct advantage over its normally aspirated rivals. Fuel consumption over a week of varied use worked out at just over 9l/100kms. There's also the issue of value for money. There are three Saloon iterations and three Fastback iterations on offer, each priced identically in RSA according to trim level as follows:
Comfort R229 900
Luxury R239 900
De Lux R269 900
The issue of choosing between saloon and fastback is very much a personal one but common perception says the saloon looks neater but the fastback's loading area and access is a boon. Readers will have gathered that emotional issues sourced in history don't gel with me and I therefore did my best to judge this car on what it offers in 2012 and not on what historians thought of the brand 50 years ago. The MG6 does have a lot going for it in that on a pure size/ equipment level, it offers a lot for the asking price, especially as far as the "base" Comfort models are concerned.
I suspect the added cost of frills such as leather will soon be lost to any purchaser, so stick to the basics and you shouldn't be disappointed.

Highlander Festival Celebrates Celtic History & Culture
The mountains regions of South Western Virginia were settled by a large number of Scottish, English and Irish people. Today, their stories and songs can still be heard -in the mountains and ridges of this area - and at this weekend's 18th annual Radford Highlanders Festival. The festival not only celebrates ancient traditions, but also offers evidence that Celtic Culture is alive and well in American society and continues to evolve today.
Admission to the The Radford Highlanders Festival is free. It's a joint project of Radford University and the City of Radford.
We had help with this story from John Benfield of WVRU.

Often we are telephoned by people under threat of dismissal who ask if we will represent them at a disciplinary hearing a redundancy 'consultation' or at an appeal following dismissal. Sometimes we are asked to attend grievance hearings too. The answer has always been the same- 'no'.
Our refusal is not because we are unwilling to attend but because the statutory rules are clear. An employee is only entitled to be accompanied or represented by a colleague, a trade union official or someone certified by a trade union as a qualified companion.
Sometimes an employer will allow a family member or friend to accompany someone at a meeting but this is a concession and not a right. Employers will never allow a solicitor to attend. Perhaps employers imagine that solicitors know something they do not and will be able to stop them reaching the result they were probably hoping for.
Now there are signs that the situation may be changing. In two recent cases the Court of Appeal has decided that it might be possible in some circumstances for someone working in the public sector to be accompanied by a lawyer at a disciplinary hearing.
In the second of these cases the Court of Appeal decided that if there was more than just the job at risk- if dismissal might prevent someone working in their career at all- then legal representation should be allowed.
Both cases are on their way to the Supreme Court for a final decision so watch this space. It is possible that the Supreme Court will suggest that the right exists whether or not a job is in the public sector or not and equally possible that the 'right' will disappear altogether.

Critical Essay by Francis J. Henninger
SOURCE: "The Bouquet of Poe's Amontillado," in South Atlantic Bulletin, Vol. XXXV, No. 2, March, 1970, pp. 35-40.
In the following essay, Henninger explains how the ending of Poe's story always elicits shock, despite the conclusion's obvious predictability.
"Nothing is more clear than that every plot, worth the name, must be elaborated to its dénouement before anything can be attempted with the pen. It is only with the dénouement constantly in view that we can give a plot its indispensable air of consequence, or causation, by making the incidents, and especially the tone at all points, tend to the development of the intention."
With these words of the second paragraph of his "Philosophy of Composition," Edgar Allan Poe illuminates an important part of his literary method; they help to explain the powerful effect of...

Hi Jared
Love your chats with Grandma !!!
Re socks, what size feet are you?
Hello Jared
say hi to Lil!
Jewish children are brought up to treasure their elders. That's so apparent here. It's obvious you love your grandmother very much. Enjoy every day you have with her.
You are a blessed man
I love that Lil!! Did you know January is Hot Tea Month? I just found that out. So I'm buying Lil a cup in honor of the month long holiday!
Another wonder Lil moment. Watch at 4:04 when she laughs; just like Jared.
She's a cutie! Love your moments with Lil. And yes, 4:04 they do both have the same laugh and smile.
i adore watching Lil's video its like those days when my grandma would tell us a story before nap time.
Lol Great Conversation..Good Luck to you Lil!
Lil is the best!
Hey Jared,
She's right put some socks on!
Can you please tweak the part of "buy Lil a cup of Tea" to enable multiple cups of tea?
I love the fact that you spend time and make videos with your Grandmom. She seems to be so delightful. You are lucky in so many ways, but in the way that is most important is the time you spend with her! Take care.
I love Lil… She is right : it's non summertime !!!
You are very lucky Jared… take care of Lil…

Hey, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the difference is, for bikes, in bias ply tires vs. radials? For my bike, they recommend BP, but would it be a big deal if I was to buy a radial rear tire, for instance?
Views: 3643
I use Dunlop Radials for bikes and there is even a set brand for my VROD made by Dunlop, think Radials have a higher top speed and miles than Biased tires. To me I like the way Radials wear, and construction of tire doesnt matter a whole lot since bike tires pretty much have the same tire patterns and it just has steel bands in the tires. Would go with whatever makes you feel better, safety wise
Got a question about using car tires. What is the effect in curvers?? To what level can you "hang" in curves without loosing touch with the raod???
Motorcycle tires are "round"" car tires are "flat".
To me, anyone who uses Car tires on a bike is asking for a ride down the pavement so buy a good outfit that the pro use. I have heard people on this site think it is going on the dark side or something like that, there are enough problems on the road to add another. The dark side maybe a dirt nap instead.
Yep I think the engineers that developed tires shouldn't want a car tire on a motorcycle. I mean its just to save some money on replacing a tire sooner, pretty poor excuse to take a chance on a crash. And I know guys that darkside and one that even double darksides but I won't, I'll stick with a good high mileage motorcycle tire and feel safe riding not wondering if something is going to go wrong.
You do that Gary, and I will ride my C/T that gets better milage, grips the wet roads better and costs less and feel even safer! However I never ride like something is not going to go wrong on any tires! Motorcycle tires are prone to blow outs and flats even more than car tires you know!
Thats funny been riding for fifty years and haven't had a blowout yet. Average 30k to 40k a year so I'll stick with what works.
Kees if you look at the car tire on my bike it is also rounded but with a lot wider tread. You would almost have to lay the bike completely down to lose contact with the road! The uys that like to race thru the twisties report they are more stable and faster with the car tire.
I have a friend that is in my motorcyle group (star chapter 489) that has a Venture that he put a car tire on the back of his bike and he swears by it. My impression is that you may feel a slight difference early on, but it does not take that long and you get used to it. Not a big deal. He's got 20,000 miles on it and thinks it will last another 50,000 or so. He only has it on the back, on the front he still puts the bike tires. I think that he paid $40 for it. It's a good way to save some money if it's tight and you are not an aggressive rider.
Never mix radials with bias tires on your bike, use one or the other on both wheels
The answer to your question , Mr. Pohlehna , is : The reason your bike comes with a recomendation for Bias Ply tires , has little to do with the tire , itself . The main reason your bike is recommended for B/P is the design and function of your suspension system . Motorcycles set up for Bias ply tires have different rake and trail in the front ent , and a different angle of "set" on the rear shock absorber . The Radial tire allows for "extra" lateral movement of the tire casing , while not "Loading the suspension " properly to maintain proper loading of the tire to the pavement . Thus you would be more susceptable to front-end wash-out in a severe turn at a lower speed , or the complete loss of grip from your rear tire , un-expectedly , without warning of any kind . Like you had hit a patch of ice .
It's all a bunch of engineering , and physics , but if your bike is recommended to have bias ply tires , I for one , would keep putting B/P on it . But that's just me . I put a set of brand new radials on a 68 Barracuda when the radials were the "shits" , back in the day . Cool . Wider , Better profile , nicer lookin ......... You get the pic ? The suspension was not adjusted for the different castor , and camber for radials , and I rolled the car in a forty-five mph curve , doing forty . The side walls rolled over as they were designed to , but the suspension didn't adjust properly with the tires , and the car lost contact , and rolled over . No body hurt . Just a beautiful Cuda lost . Tires and suspension must match , or you are asking for serious trouble . Hope this helped answer your question with-out a technical explanation even I don't understand , and I'm supposed to be a engineer . Most bikes that have B/P recommendations also tend to be lighter bikes , ie , 450-500 lbs. class .
Hey Pinball, I am also an engineer. Not mechanical, but in the auto industry. What you say, now that I've heard it, makes good sense. The reason that I was asking is that I actually have purchased a set of Metzlers, BP for my bike, but the shop down the road from me is movin and I can get a rear tire, the right size for my bike, for $10, but it's a radial. So, naturally, I had to ask. I've had the orig tires, Dulops, and I liked them. Good traction, and went about 12,000 miles (could have went another 2,000). Second set was a set of Bridgestones. Good traction again, and went about 12,000 ( and they are about done). A friend of mine told me about the Metzlers and I had to try them. I ended up going with a 180/70 vs. a 170/70, cause the Metz don't make the 170/70, but I have plenty of room for it, so we'll see. Thanks again.
After long and careful consideration of the car tire vs MC tire, I decided to try the car tire. I am not an aggressive rider. I do not challenge the turns. I ride a cruiser. I went from a 180/70 MC to a 195/65 DS radial car tire. After 10k miles, I have no problems in the turns - wet or dry. I am still able to securely corner as well as before. My stopping distance was reduced by about 30%. A $75 tire looks as if it will go 40k to 50k miles. The key variable is finding the right tire pressure for your bike and riding style. Note this is rear tire only. The geometry of the front requires a MC tire.

IN EARLY February 1989, the stratos-phere above the Arctic was poised for a dramatic drop in the concentration of ozone - an event as severe as anything that has occurred above Antarctica recently. It was saved by a combination of factors: air rich in nitrogen compounds poured in from lower latitudes, and the arctic stratosphere warmed sharply in mid-February.
This is the principal conclusion of a study carried out last year by NASA and known as the Airborne Arctic Stratospheric Expedition (AASE). The expedition's researchers have published their main results in a special supplement to the journal Geophysical Research Letters (vol 17, number 4, p 313).
Richard Turco, of the University of California, Los Angeles, and his colleagues say in an overall review of the AASE work that the observations 'clearly show that the arctic stratosphere is primed for an ozone hole'. They stress that 'the same physical and chemical ...

Gladstone Repeats In Top 10 Best Places to Work In Academia
Fifth Consecutive Year at the Top in The Scientist's Survey of US Institutions
SAN FRANCISCO, CA—October 28, 2009—For the fifth year in a row, The J. David Gladstone Institutes has placed among the top 10 among the Best Places to Work in Academia. According to the annual survey by The Scientist magazine, Gladstone ranked 6th in 2009 and is one of only 3 organizations that were in the top 10 in 2008.
"Each year the competition becomes more and more intense," said Gladstone President Robert W. Mahley, MD, PhD. "We're proud to be in among notable peers like Princeton, Emory, and other great institutions."
The Gladstone Institutes, located at San Francisco's Mission Bay biotech hub, has become one of the region's top independent biomedical research institutes, focusing on cardiovascular disease, HIV and other immunological diseases, and Alzheimer's disease and related neurological afflictions. In addition to collaborations with universities, Gladstone scientists also have the opportunity to partner with industry through the Gladstone Center for Translational Research.
"We work with some of the best and the brightest in their fields, which allows Gladstone investigators and postdoctoral trainees to expand their experience beyond basic research to translational medicine," said Mahley. "We are fortunate to offer the best of both worlds, independence and access to our scientific staff."
Overall, respondents focused on collaboration, team building, and unique funding opportunities as important factors in the work environment. Gladstone ranked high in infrastructure and environment and management and policies.
"Our goal is to create an environment for scientific excellence," Mahley added. "We have achieved that goal for more than 30 years. It's nice to be recognized."
