Walnut Creek HotelsThe lush and fertile grasslands and rolling hills of Walnut Creek have set it apart when it comes to experiencing the great outdoors, with numerous hiking trails, camping, and biking adventures to be found amount the emerald landscape. The city is also the main business hub in the area, so you'll find some great shopping here, and there's also a vibrant dining scene bursting with flavors, and all kinds of tempting cuisine, just waiting to be discovered by food fans.Things to seeShopping is very good in Walnut Creek in general, but the experience offered by Broadway Plaza is particularly refined. Shoppers mill around an elegant, cascading central fountain surrounded by preened bushes and plants, and the modern, but classic design of the center makes for a much more relaxing shopping experience in general, where you can take your time and enjoy the sights of the center itself. To compliment a day of relaxing shopping, spending a lazy afternoon wandering through the vivid colors of the Gardens at Heather Farm is highly recommended. The Gardens are a popular wedding venue thanks to the pristine beauty of the surroundings, but also offer education on gardening in general, so is especially interesting to those with green fingers. If you're on a family trip, then Lindsay Wildlife Museum is great for everyone, and kids can get involved with workshops to learn more about animals.Hotels in Walnut CreekThere's a good selection of Walnut Creek hotels, so there's plenty of affordable choices for families looking for outdoors breaks as well as business travelers. The higher end offerings come equipped with luxurious spas, crystal-clear pools, and bustling. Even some of the discount hotels in the area offer access to sparkling outdoor pools, although be aware that these are obviously seasonal. Most of hotels are also located in or very close to the major attractions of the city, so getting to attractions is easy. Where to stayStaying in the area around Treat Blvd is a popular choice for tourists of all stripes, thanks to the fact that most of the city's main attractions are very close by, such as the Heather Farm Gardens, with the city center a short distance away. Business travelers will probably prefer accommodation along North Main Street, especially the southern end which is closer to the city center and amenities. Those looking for outdoor adventures, or even a little romantic seclusion, can always opt for digs slightly outside of town, where there's easy access to the countryside, and also luxurious spa hotels. How to get to Walnut CreekIf you're flying in, then heading to Oakland International airport, if coming from overseas, is the closest destination. Alternatively, if you're flying domestically, there is a small regional airport, Bucchanan Field, in neighboring Concord that will be the perfect gateway to the city. If arriving in Oakland, hiring a car can be the best option, but there's also a shuttle train service that runs from Oakland and San Francisco into Walnut Creek. Once in the city, walking will normally be the best way to get around, as the downtown area is quite compact and attractions are generally close together.

Will history add to price of Brown Palace?
When the owners of the historic Brown Palace Hotel announced Sept. 23 they were putting it up for sale, the news released a flood of emotions for generations of Coloradans.
Marcel Pitton, managing director of the hotel, said the reaction was visceral. People called him to say how sorry they were, as if the proposed sale were like a death in the family, or might change Denver history for the worse.
It's understandable. The 121-year-old Brown Palace, for countless Denverites, is the place they got married or engaged, signed business deals, celebrated anniversaries or had tea with relatives. It's where presidents and rock idols bed down when they come to Denver.
Dwight Eisenhower and his wife, Mamie, stayed there so often, it became known as the "Western White House" during his administration. It's been the place to see or be seen with important or famous people.
Residents and real estate experts alike have pondered what the landmark will be worth on the open market. Its historic significance undoubtedly will be a factor in the ultimate sales price. But how, exactly?
"This is a unique and very unusual opportunity," Pitton said. "I personally believe it will require unique ownership."
The Brown Palace Hotel Associates Limited Partnership has owned the iconic, triangular-shaped hotel at 17th Street and Broadway, and the adjoining 22-story Comfort Inn Downtown, in a joint venture for 30 years. It's only the fifth owner in the hotel's history. There's 472 rooms between the two.
CEO Tony Farris of Quorum Hotels & Resorts of Dallas, which has managed the Brown Palace for 25 years, has said that a buyer will "be motivated to protect [its] history" and "honor and celebrate" its traditions.
And while that may be the current owners' goal, it will be difficult to write into a contract, said Mike Cahill, CEO and founder of Greenwood Village-based HREC (Hospitality Real Estate Counselors).
"That's really up to the seller, how much of a priority they place on whether they think the new buyer will be a good custodian of the hotel versus are they just going to sell to anyone who will pay the highest price. Really, we live in a free-market world."
Industry experts estimate the Brown could fetch as much as $100 million. But there are few comparable hotel sales to use as a guide. The last time it sold, in 1980, it commanded $28 million. The Brown Palace Joint Venture then used the asset immediately to secure a $35.6 million mortgage from 1st National Bank and Trust.
"The Brown Palace is different [than other hotel sales] because it's more a piece of the fabric of the community," Cahill said. "You don't have a comparison to any other piece of real estate like that."
The Brown is on the National Register of Historic Places, is listed as an Individual Landmark under a Denver ordinance and included in the Downtown Historic District as a "contributing" structure, said Annie Levinsky, executive director of Historic Denver.
"The main advantage is that customers are interested and enjoy learning about, and being a part of in a small way, the history of iconic places," said Walter Isenberg, president and CEO, Sage Hospitality, operator of the city's oldest hotel, the Oxford. "And certainly the Brown Palace is an iconic place in Colorado."
Capital improvements to historic structures might cost more and take more time; the city's Landmark Preservation Commission would have to approve any exterior changes to the Brown. But experts agreed the Brown Palace historical status likely will add more value.
That status also renders it eligible for federal historic preservation tax credits for improvements, similar to those granted to Denver Union Station, where a luxury hotel is part of redevelopment of the area into a transit center.
Levinsky said the Brown Palace name alone brings a marketing advantage. "It's hard to value the name recognition," she said.
The hotel a year ago became part of the Marriott Autograph Collection, and leaving the Brown name alone was a key part of the agreement to owners.
"We were able to keep our brand," Pitton said. "That was important to us as a historic and legendary hotel."
In recent years, the Brown Palace's owners — who declined to be interviewed for this story — spent $19 million on upgrades, including room improvements and facade restoration. They decided to sell, Pitton said, because after 30 years of ownership, many are of retirement age and it's a good market for hotels.
Pitton said it's expensive and time-consuming to keep the building running smoothly. They call improvements "restoration," not repair, Pitton said, and it can be difficult to find parts for outdated equipment, fixtures or furnishings. And it's less efficient than modern hotels — there's five kitchens instead of one large one.
"We've been blessed that the current owners, on an ongoing basis, maintain it so well," he said. "They put several million back into the hotel every year."
Andrew Broad, vice president and partner of New Jersey-based Hotel Assets Group LLC, said only a handful of hotel assets with the Brown's historical/landmark status come up for sale nationwide every year.
"It's like asking what's the value of the Waldorf Astoria in Manhattan if that ever sold," Broad said. "There's a lot more people looking for a property like this than, say, a 20-year old Marriott."
Isenberg said, "Certainly no one is going to build one like it. From a competitive standpoint, there's only one Brown Palace."
The current hotel asset market is hot right now.
"We've seen transaction volume increase, and increase dramatically," said Cahill, who recently brokered the $60 million sale of the Hyatt Regency Denver Tech Center. "Right now there are more equity dollars in the market chasing good hotel properties than there are hotel properties to buy."
New York-based Eastdil Secured is marketing the property and the sale is expected to be complete by the first quarter of 2014.
As far as possible suitors, there's no shortage of speculation.
Some suggest Denver financier and billionaire Phil Anschutz might buy it; he bought the historic five-star Broadmoor hotel in Colorado Springs in 2011.
Broad said other candidates could be Sunstone Hotel Investors, an Aliso Viejo, Calif.-based lodging real estate investment trust, or Ashford Hospitality Trust, a Dallas-based REIT that focuses on upscale properties.
Then there is Bethesda, Md.-based RLJ Lodging Trust, which is less likely to buy it because its strategy is aimed at "focused service and compact full-service hotels, which typically generate most of their revenue from room rentals, have limited food and beverage outlets and meeting space, and require fewer employees than larger hotels," according to its website.
The bottom line for buyers: Is the hotel a cash-producing asset?
Pitton said it is. "You can't put a price on the emotional attachment many have to the Brown Palace," Pitton said. "We're not in the business of serving tea or a meal. We're in the business to give you memories."

That is the view of Professor Peter Bruck, from Austrian Research Centers in Salzburg. He believes the crisis is on three levels: the limit for further growth, a crisis in terms of new individual services, and the crisis of the third generation technology. Could content on mobile come to the rescue? "No…It will take considerable time…before the customers are willing to pay for this content…Mobile contents are…quick, they are location based , they are situation based . There might come an explosion of new services but research and market development do not indicate that this is what the customers are waiting for. I personally think that developments of for instance WiFi might be able to catch the attention of the customer more."

I began working with war Veterans suffering from trauma as a psyche officer in Vietnam. When I came home, I spent the next four decades helping Vets readjust as they came home from war. From Vietnam to the Gulf War, Bosnia, Iraq and now Afghanistan. In that time, I counseled many Veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and became one of the pioneers in diagnosing and treating the condition.
In 1985, I founded the National Veterans Foundation. We provide a toll-free Lifeline for Vets™ 365-days-a-year, where Veterans can call for help with any problem, and speak to fellow Veterans who are trained to be of help.
And many of our nation's Veterans need tremendous help. With more and more Iraq and Afghanistan troops returning home everyday without adequate support services, many are struggling with readjusting to civilian life after multiple tours and so much time in the combat zone.
Some of the main issues facing today's Veterans:
Veteran unemployment is nearly twice the national average. Young Veterans who joined the military after high school and went off to war are at a disadvantage when competing for civilian jobs with peers who didn't serve. Vets often don't have easily translatable civilian skills, nor do they have the network of civilian business and social contacts that other young people have. Unless they apply with companies who place a priority on hiring Veterans, they are in a tough spot competing with other job seekers.
One out of every three Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans suffers from PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) or a combination of the two due to combat trauma. Upon returning home, our troops are not receiving proper medical and psychological evaluation or counseling. It's up to them to seek the help they need and often this help is not easy to find or to access.
There is a backlog of 1.2 million claims at the Veterans Administration. The VA application process remains complicated and adversarial. Veterans are not automatically enrolled in the VA, as many people think, when they finish their military service. They need help finding VA facilities, completing complicated applications, managing the application process and appealing rejected claims. Many Veterans who are disabled and unable to work due to war trauma are waiting months and years for benefits they were promised and have earned. This results in many Vets with significant financial problems that can end up homeless or worse.
A third of all homeless citizens in America are Veterans. Due to many of the factors discussed here, Veterans with distinguished, even heroic, military records are ending up living on the streets. Because of untreated PTSD or TBI and self medication with drugs and alcohol, many Veterans are finding themselves in conflict with the criminal justice system. Special Veterans Courts are the appropriate response to these problems. These courts take into consideration a Vet's military service and the war experiences and lack of readjustment services that cause them to engage in anti-social behaviors. Veterans' courts focus on treatment and rehabilitation rather than jail time. Unfortunately, only a handful of these courts exist in the U.S.
For 25 years, The National Veterans Foundation has helped our brother and sister Veterans with these problems and more. In that time, we have served more that 350,000 Vets and their family members.
Unfortunately with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Veteran population continues to grow, and so do the problems with which our Vets need help. While the NVF has a proud, quarter-century history of serving America's Veterans, the next 25 years will be even busier, and more important.
If you know of a Veteran in need of help, please have them call the Lifeline for Vets™ at 888-777-4443.

It's upsetting, a soldier's reward. To lay your life on the life, in return for what?
The ugly underbelly of American society is that we yell, "USA! USA!" but don't take care of our troops upon their return home. Disgusting and disappointing to say the least.
Hi there, thank you for such a great post. I am actually writing a research paper/social action paper for a college writing class about this topic and the overwhelming number of soldiers returning from war and not having enough health care providers for them. Laura B...I would love to hear more of your stories and if you would not mind, I would like to site you in my paper. Please reply if this is okay with you. I would greatly appreciate it. Also, it would be beneficial for citation purposes if you could tell me your last name. Thanks! :)
It is true ,VA is not a good administrator
As a community we have to come together and support our veterans. They need jobs, they need friends. So many people are quick to say they support the troops and veterans. I say action speaks louder than words.
All veterans should be communicated with the people who belong to their interest on regular basis. For e.g Vateran interested in software related stuff should be linked to a individual to share update the latest updates in the field. This will help them get the job they want after the return from the veteran job. Also a complete physical and mental rheraphy/advise should be provided to every one who come back to USA.
My brother is a Vietname veteran, and is 100% disabled. His nerves are what got him disabled, and he wound up with a pace maker and defib machine, and many hernias and barrets esophagus, and Parkinsons and Crohns disease, and now his legs and arms are a bluidh brown color, and his legs are leaking. The Va in Delaware took his teeth out 2 years ago. They said it takes time to make a plate for him, that others are on the list too. They just sent him a letter saying he does not qualify for help 2 hours per day 2 days per week. No explanation for it either.
This country talks alot of crap about those who serve and have served. The truth is how they treat those who did the dirty work but are discarded once they can no longer be used. Pay attention people.

Laid Back searching for Drama Free
I am looking for a girl who is as excited to come home to see me as I am to see her. I want a girl with an established social circle as I do not want to be her only social outlet. I despise drama and I loathe hypocrisy. I want a girl who is easy going but is not afraid to speak her mind. Please do not keep your emotions bottled up, talk to me if something is bothering you. I want someone who is not afraid to try new foods, events, and activities. I need a girl with a good sense of humor as I joke around a lot. She must love movies. She doesn't have to like sports but must understand that they are a major part of my life. My girl should be outgoing, friendly, kind and hopefully has a healthy relationship with her family. She must love animals and mainly have a positive outlook on life.

From Our Editors
Head filaments receive the same type of focused attention a telepathist gives to a stubborn, unmoving object while seated in one of Deluxe's comfy chairs. Discuss the type of head-topper you desire with your stylist, and relax as your hair rapidly matures into a hairstyle, free from awkward teenage tufts, split ends, and areas licked by bovine ungulates. The blowout puts some volume under the hood, poofing plumage with an infusion of air and panache. To keep natural flora in good repair, a Davines deep-conditioning treatment, which uses sustainably produced, naturally derived hair-care products, will hydrate and moisturize parched locks like Cousin It skipping through the sprinkler.

Pooper Scooping reviews in Saint Louis
Fantastic service. Our yard was disgusting after the winter and I called on and found a hole in their schedule where they were out promptly. I don't even want to mention how quick because I wouldn't want to set that expectation. Very friendly and worth every penny.
After doing each day's clean-up, a door hanger was left. On two days a note was left on it letting me know the person tried to find all of the waste but due to snow/ice it was possible some was missed. I had seen a missed poop earlier and was a little annoyed (especially since that was the first day they were here), but once I read the note on the door hanger I understood and was fine with it. Communication works and they are very good at it! An email was sent on snowy days to let you know if there would be service that day or not. I also received a short survey via email to rate their quality of service. This is a professionally and apparently well run organization. I have told many friends about them and would use them again whenever I had the need! It was great during my rehabilitation to know there was a company who could handle this for me when I could not do it myself! And thanks to Angie's List, because I found

Extremism disenchanted: what role can education play?
Young people in the UK today who are attracted to extremism are typically well educated. Given the weaknesses of this ideology in terms of its use of history, internal coherence of arguments and moral standards, its success with many educated young people requires explanation. The explanation, according to Dr. Farid, is multifaceted but education has a big role to play in curbing the trend.

International Journal of Recent Advances in Mechanical Engineering
International Journal of Recent advances in Mechanical Engineering (IJMECH) Vol.2, No.1, February 2013 A STUDY ON CONCURRENT ENGINEERING-BASED DESIGN AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT Sandip Basu, Nabarun Biswas, Supriya Naha Biswas and Sweta Sarkar Department of Mechanical Engineering, Global Institute of Management and Technology, Nadia, West Bengal, India {basandy007, mechanical.biswas, snaha.me, firstname.lastname@example.com ABSTRACT Business strategies are rapidly changing with the demands of highly competitive globalised market. Industries are facing harder challenges every day. The lifecycle of a product is needed to be shortened to fulfil the customer needs and sustain in the market competition. Obviously the technical solutions are needed to be business driven. Concurrent engineering is recognised as one of the technical solutions to overcome these challenges. The paper is concerned about implementation of concurrent engineering technologies in the field of design and product development. Here the technology approach and the trend of applications are studied. A case is studied and the beneficial effects are also discussed. Finally the paper concluded as recognizing concurrent engineering as the way of achieving long-term sustainability in this highly competitive business climate. KEYWORDS Concurrent engineering, Product Lifecycle Management, Product Data Management, Design Environment. 1. INTRODUCTION With the evolution of computing as an essential part of design and manufacturing engineering, sequential and simultaneous engineering methods of product design and development got replaced by concurrent engineering approaches. Since the 1990s, design methodology significantly changed with the application of concurrent engineering and PLM approaches. To attain proper competitive response to the market, industrial designers started to prefer concurrent engineering with parallel application of CAD-CAM. In the highly competitive present scenario, business requirements always drive technology solutions. With an ever increasing customer demand, industries are going under high pressure to reduce time-to-market (by providing tailored product), time-to-volume (via mass production) and time-to-profit (by increasing efficiency) [5]. Under these circumstances, the enterprises need to closely collaborate with customers, designers, manufacturers, suppliers and other stakeholders to response as quick as demanded to the dynamic market changes. Beside this, Dr B. Ravi believes that, aggressive innovation by competing firms is leading to more complex products [2]. Delivering the right product to the market or maintaining consistent product quality is only the half job done in today's industrial environment [1]. The solution lies in the connection between the raw material supplier and the product end user. The teams need to work with each other concurrently, to optimise the design and development processes with respect to different life- cycle issues, to lunch the product in the market with least possible time. But, it is very difficult to practice concurrent engineering whether different specialist teams are at different parts of the world, with an increasing trend in globalization. 15 International Journal of Recent advances in Mechanical Engineering (IJMECH) Vol.2, No.1, February 2013 2. CHALLENGES IN DESIGN AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT 2.1 Business Issues In the current business environment with the pressuring demand of mass customization, companies are facing harder challenges each day. New business challenges are coming with more complex products, geographically departed design teams and growing needs of rapid fulfilment of demand. In this situation business bodies are looking for, a) Faster design and product development. b) Enhanced manufacturing capacity and capability. c) Improved revenue from lifecycle efficiency. 2.2 Industrial Issues As an obvious situation, industries are also under the pressure of several business issues. Now technologies have to go under the drive of industrial needs. In the modern collaborative enterprise environment, industries need increased speed to respond to the increasing demand. To obtain such capability they need, a) Replacement of static design by mass customization. b) Establishment of new approach in design and manufacturing to merge themselves with today's extended business model. c) To exchange and control product information and to perform real-time project management [5]. d) Effective management of inter-enterprise data, information and knowledge for improved product design and development. 3. CONCURRENT ENGINEERING APPROACH To face the challenging situations, industries need to recruit specialist teams to handle different issues and activities related to product lifecycle: concept design, engineering analysis, tooling development, manufacturing planning, part manufacture, product assembly, delivery, service and disposal. Through the whole product lifecycle industrial design follows some definite steps: market survey, concept design, detailed design and model preparation, model analysis, correction and re-design. In this concurrent engineering approach, some managing issues play the key role: product lifecycle management (PLM), product data management (PDM) and product manufacturing management (PMM) [4]. Concurrent engineering integrates different modern manufacturing application systems, viz. supply chain management (SCM), enterprise resource planning (ERP), manufacturing execution system (MES), customer relationship management (CRM), demand chain management (DCM) and so on, to work collaboratively to enhance product design and development. Market survey should continue throughout the product lifecycle. It can provide updated data at different development stages and consequent status of demand. The information are handled by PDM and provided to all the working groups to effectively shorten product lifecycle time and increase efficiency. Concept design helps to communicate with the market and easily retrieve data from the market feedback for detailed design. According to the results of concept design and market survey detailed design is done. A model gets prepared based on detailed design. Feasible analysis is formulated and done on the model. At this stage, from detailed design to model analysis, we need the help of different CAD, CAM and CAE software. At the time of analysis, simple program are implemented in PHP/JAVA and executed in the main server, whereas computation-intensive programs are implemented in C++, followed by exchange of result 16 International Journal of Recent advances in Mechanical Engineering (IJMECH) Vol.2, No.1, February 2013 throughout the working network [2]. The analysis results provide information and guidelines to the workgroups about product feasibility, use environment, material requirement and cost control and so on. Depending upon the analysis data several correction and re-design works are done. Finally manufacturing is supervised by quality and controlled by cost. Figure 1. Concurrent Engineering approach of Design and Product Development 4. APPLICATION ASPECTS OF CONCURRENT ENGINEERING 4.1 Medium to Large Enterprises At the present economic climate, the most important priority for the medium and large enterprises is to respond quickly to the business challenges. Either to expand customer base or to acquire more cost competitive resources, global business conduction is necessary for both the medium and large enterprises. Concurrent engineering is applied in this situation to sustain their advantageous position in market and to overcome the challenges. Application of concurrent engineering enables the enterprises to, a) Manage design and product development complexity. b) Control cost and provide usable product at minimum possible cost. c) Manage introduction of new product. d) Speedup the process of customization. e) Provide a platform for product reuse. 4.2 Small to Medium Enterprises The major problem for the small and medium enterprises to respond to the global challenges is their limited resources. They need a predetermined strategy based best-in-class solution to respond better to their customer needs. Concurrent engineering brings the best advantages for them with the industry's best practices. Concurrent engineering practices enable them to, a) Sustain in low cost of ownership. b) Increase their design reuse. c) Increase efficiency by simple design review and effective change management. 17 International Journal of Recent advances in Mechanical Engineering (IJMECH) Vol.2, No.1, February 2013 d) Error education through more effective collaboration between different departments. e) Make customized quick response to market demand. 5. IMPLEMENTATION OF CONCURRENT ENGINEERING: A CASE STUDY A pharmaceutical instrument manufacturing enterprise in India was facing some disadvantageous situations in global competitive market to sustain better business over its close competitors. The company was getting unable to deliver the market winning product at minimum cost. It was a medium scale enterprise. The enterprise was seeking for a business and technology solution to overcome the challenges. It had to understand the customer requirements and specifications, effective cost control and quicker response to the market demand. As a solution the company picked up concurrent engineering. One of its key products was surgery knife. The knives were manufactured by injection moulding. The enterprise implemented concurrent engineering for the whole lifecycle of this product. All the steps from market survey to product disposal were followed in proper way. Three different teams were formed for market survey and customisation, design and analysis, development and manufacturing. The enterprise used Pro-E and ANSYS software for product design and analysis. After the end of the lifecycle of the first batch of surgery knives, the enterprise got better business results. Revenue was higher from the same limited resources. Collecting knowledge from this experimental implementation the enterprise implemented concurrent engineering methods for all its products. 6. IMPACT ON INDUSTRY Business model in the manufacturing industry has shifted from make-to-order, to build-to-order, to engineer-to-order, to configure-to-order, to design-to-order and in near future to innovate-to- order. In this rapidly changing industrial climate the impact of concurrent engineering should be verified on the industrial platform. The technology can be implemented on different industries: market driven industry, technology driven industry, manufacturing driven industry, project driven industry. Different concurrent engineering solutions fit into different industry domains with different characteristics. This indicates that the concurrent engineering solutions have the great potential to be applied to meet industrial requirements. Expected potential advantages for different industries due to implementation of concurrent engineering methods are: a) Customers get included into the design chain. b) A higher level of customer satisfaction can be achieved. c) Nearly 70% of the product cost is built-in during design and development phase [5]. d) Designer, manufacturer, supplier and customer can exchange their ideas about the product. e) The cost and profit margin can be determined during the design phase. f) Feedback from suppliers with market experience helps the design group most. g) Better manufacturability with shorter cycle time and reduced cost. 7. CONCLUSIONS Concurrent engineering technologies are recognised by world's leading universities, institutes and industries. To achieve sustainability in modern globalised competitive business environment, concurrent engineering applications are proposed in this study. The problem of time-to-market can be solved by product data management, collaborative product customisation, collaborative product development and design chain management. The time-to-volume issues can be solved by collaborative product manufacturing and collaborative component supply. Product lifecycle 18 International Journal of Recent advances in Mechanical Engineering (IJMECH) Vol.2, No.1, February 2013 management can solve the time-to-profit issues. Implementation of concurrent engineering in design and product development should be done for the benefit of industries. May this study will help other researchers for further improvement in the field of concurrent engineering. REFERENCES [1] Gecevska. Valentina, Chiabert. Paolo, Anisic. Zoran, Lombardi. Franco & Cus.

Product description
This classic textbook has provided students of medical law and ethics with a framework for exploring this fascinating subject for over 25 years. Providing coverage of all of the topics found on medical law courses, it gives an overview of the inter-relationship between ethical medical practice and the law. The authors, both hugely experienced and influential in the field, offer their own opinions on current debates and controversies, and thereby encourage readers to formulate their own views and arguments. As a still-developing discipline, medical law is significantly shaped by the courts, and as such this book provides extensive coverage of recent judicial decisions as well as statutory developments. This edition continues to take a comparative approach, with particular importance attached to the shift in influence from transatlantic jurisdictions to those of the EU. This book has continually evolved to reflect changes in the law and shifting ethical opinions - this ninth edition continues to fulfil this remit and is essential reading for any serious medical law student or practitioner, as well as being of interest to all those involved in the delivery and control of modern healthcare.

Review quote
This fact that this book was first published 30 years ago and is now in its 9th edition is testament to its importance and success in providing students with a framework for exploring the field of medical ethics and law... This new edition of the book continues to evolve to reflect changes in ethical opinion as well as to encompass new case material, judicial decisions and statutory instruments... For students, both undergraduate and postgraduate, this book should be essential reading... For the rest of us with a more general interest in bioethics and the law this book provides a valuable source of information and reference which should be accessible on every library shelf.

1991 Ford Explorer Q&A
1991 Ford Explorer Question: Diagnois my clutch problem
I was driving my 1991 Ford Explorer XLT when I pressed the clutch in to shift into 5th gear it went to floor and it lost all pressure to it. After that I could not use the clutch to shift at all. What's the problem? - Ford x 2
2 Answers
Answer 1
Check your clutch fluid, is it up to the correct level? If not, then you may have a problem with your clutch hydraulics. If so, I advise doing BOTH the Master and the slave cylinder as a set, which will mean removing your transmission an doing a clutch job. You need to remove the transmission to replace the clutch slave cylinder. If you do a clutch job, be SURE to replace the clutch slave as well, this is a must. here are some shops: http://repairpal.com/directory?address=87123&car_brand_names=Ford - dandd

Publisher's Description
Deepen your experience with Scripture Discover the power of Gods Word Is the Bible speaking to you? Learning to listen to Scripture Listen to what Gods Word is saying to you People talk about the power of the Bible, but sometimes Scripture just looks like normal words. However, inside these thin, innocent-looking pages is the divine revelation of a God who wants you to hear him. Enjoy the Silenceis about the spiritual discipline of Lectio Divina. This ancient practice can help you develop an awareness of Gods presence and power found in the Bible. The books simple exercises take you through the process of reading Scripture, meditating on Scripture, listening to God through Scripture, and responding to Scripture. If you feel like youve been reading the Bible in the shallow end, its time to start scaling the cliffs and get ready to plunge headlong into the deep experience of Gods Word.

Product Reviews
Dallis Wehr5 Stars Out Of 5April 30, 2009Dallis WehrThis book is awesome for anyone who would like to get to know God through His word, the Bible. I used this book as a tool, with my youth group, and we have a had an remarkable experience. My youth are pouring their hearts out to God in prayer and meditation and it was this book that led them to experience this. We all struggle with quieting our minds and allowing time and space for God to speak to us. So, if you don't know how to go about doing this, try this book, it really gets you thinking and listening on what God has in mind for you.

Susan Sarandon Reveals Her Love Affair With David Bowie: "He's Worth Idolizing"
Us Weekly
Scandalous, Susan! Susan Sarandon revealed in a recent interview that she's had a couple of "famous, pretty interesting" romantic partners, including the legendary David Bowie.
PHOTOS: Celeb sex confessions!
"In terms of hooking up with movie stars, I got married really young, which knocked out most of my 20s to be f---ing around," Sarandon, 67, told The Daily Beast on Thursday, July 24. She noted, however, that "there have been a couple of famous, pretty interesting ones. One rock star [Bowie], and another actor [identity remains unknown]. But I'm pretty much a nester and tend to be monogamous."
PHOTOS: Biggest cheating scandals of all time
Sarandon's love affair with Bowie took place around the time the two co-starred in the 1983 horror film "The Hunger." "That was a really interesting period," Sarandon said. "I wasn't supposed to have kids, and I'm the oldest of nine and had mothered all of them, so I wasn't ever in a mode to where I was looking to settle down and raise a family, so that definitely changes the gene pool you're dipping into."
PHOTOS: Celeb music video couples
Their affair took place several years after Sarandon's divorce from her first husband, college sweetheart Chris Sarandon, in 1979. She later went on to date director Franco Amurri (with whom she had a daughter Eva), and eventually coupled up with actor Tim Robbins -- the father of her two sons, Miles and Jack, and partner of 23 years until their 2009 split.
Bowie, on his end, married Iman in 1992. The rocker, 67, lives in NYC and has a daughter with the former supermodel. While he and Sarandon went their separate ways, the actress still has a high regard for his character.
"Yeah. He's worth idolizing. He's extraordinary," she gushed of the musician. "Bowie's just a really interesting person, and so bright. He's a talent, and a painter, and… he's great."
Bing: Did you know they dated?!
