Born of the ancient samurai-sword-making tradition and hand-finished for precision and beauty, Shun Classic is an ideal choice for anyone buying their first Japanese knife or 50th. The high-quality line of cutlery makes a worthwhile addition to any chef's arsenal of tools--it's used by professional chefs and home cooks alike. Produced in the widest variety of specialized styles, the Classic line features both traditional European blade shapes and innovative cutting-edge designs.
Shun Classic's amazingly sharp blade is famous for both edge retention and ease of sharpening. Each blade has a core of VG-10 "Super Steel" with a Pattern Damascus cladding of 32 layers of high-carbon stainless steel--16 layers on either side. While the wood grain pattern enhances the knife's beauty, it also adds durability and stain resistance, and reduces friction when cutting.
|Blade Material:
|VG-10 hardened Japanese steel cutting core, clad with 16 layers of SUS410/SUS431 Pattern Damascus stainless steel on each side, for a total of 33 layers of metal.
|Cutting angle:
|16 degrees per side (comprehensive angle 32 degrees). This is sharper than European knives, ground to 20-22 degrees per side.
|Handle Material:
|PakkaWood (resin-impregnated hardwood); D-Shaped handle available in right and (by special order) left-handed versions.
|Sharpening recommendations:
|Weekly honing to maintain the blade, sharpening as needed with professional sharpener or Asian-style electric sharpener.
Leveraging a 90-year history of superior workmanship, Shun knives are precision-forged in Japan by renowned blade manufacturer KAI. Using technologically advanced processes, a VG-10 "super steel" core is clad with 16 layers of high-carbon stainless steel to produce a rust-free Damascus-look blade. The Damascus detailing not only enhances the knifes aesthetic appeal, it also prevents morsels from sticking and avoids crushing or damaging foods. Forming a comfortable D-shaped hold, a fused blend of hardwood veneers and resin comprise the unique ebony Pakkawood handle. A traditionally offset stainless-steel bolster protects knuckles while a steel end-cap finishes the piece. Although dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. This product includes a lifetime warranty. -- Amy Arnold

Adding to her woes, her father, the Reverend Horace A. Dunbar, Atlantacivil rights icon and self-described foot soldier for freedom, is notoriously featured on an endlessly replayed YouTube clip in which his pronouncements don't exactly jibe with the new erain American politics.
The Rev's stinging words and myopic views don't sound anything like the man who raised Ida to make her mark in the world. Whenfriends call to express their concern, Ida realizes it's time to head home and see for herself what's going on. Besides, with her job prospects growing dimmer, getting out of D.C. for a while might bethe smartest move she could make.

While Ida andthe Rev try to find the balance between personal loyalties and political realities, they must do some serious soul searching in order to get things back on track before Wes permanently derails their best laidplans.

Product Description
The Remarkable discoveries about what drives and sustains successful women leaders.
Based on five years of proprietary research, How Remarkable Women Lead speaks to you as no other book has, with its hopeful outlook and unique ideas about success. It's the new "right stuff" of leadership, raising provocative issues such as whether feminine leadership traits (for women and men) are better suited for our fast-changing, hyper-competitive, and increasingly complex world.
The authors, McKinsey & Company consultants Joanna Barsh and Susie Cranston, establish the links between joy, happiness, and distinctive performance with the groundbreaking model of Centered Leadership.
The book's personal stories and related insights show you the magic that happens when you put the five elements of Centered Leadership–meaning, framing, connecting, engaging, and energizing–to work. They include:
• How Alondra de la Parra built on her strengths and passions to infuse her life with meaning and make her way in the male-dominated world of orchestra conducting
• How Andrea Jung, the CEO of Avon, avoided a downward spiral when the company turned down by "firing herself" on Friday and re-emerging on Monday as the "new" turnaround CEO
• How Ruth Porat's sponsors at Morgan Stanley not only helped her grow but were also her ballast for coping with difficult personal and professional times
•How Eileen Naughton recovered after losing her dream job, landing on her feet at Google and open to a new leadership opportunity
• How Julie Coates of Woolworth's Australia makes energy key to her professional success, with reserves for her "second shift" as wife and mother
How Remarkable Women Lead is both profoundly moving and actionable. Woman or man, you'll find yourself in its pages and emerge with a practical plan for breaking through at both work and in life.

40 year old man | Niagara Falls, ON, CAN | Seeking women 25-45 within 50 miles
Looking for someone special
Hi. Not sure what to write in here. So long, kind of boring !! Anyway I am currently by myself. Handsome guy with hazel eyes (rare) !! Here are some good and bad qualities: I am an honest, straight-forward, balanced and understanding guy. Sometimes shy and emotional. And yes, I do have emotions as well as sentiments. I am not a liar or a cheater. I am fair in thoughts and I am not into wasting time; nor into money etc; all those kind of nonsense things. I am simple, down to earth, easy going and a genuine person. I would love to have a nice family one fine day !! However it can be a relationship between wife and husband only with or without kids. I like to go with the flow. Therefore I can adjust as per the situation and the individual. I like to keep things very simple and real. Otherwise to me relationships appear to be fake. As for my profession I am into biomedical research having a Ph.D (scientist, kind of an intellectual outlook !!). I can explain u abt all this in detail later on. Hope u get a little bit of sense as regards to my career, education etc. I have been in N.America for long enough and settled in Canada now. To start with I landed in Maryland (USA). After 3 yrs of postdoctoral research there I moved to Canada for a yr on a similar role. Then I went back to the US for few more years. Lived in chocolate country (Hershey) and my last place in the US was Colorado !! I was finally back to Canada in 2011. Have done quiet a bit of back and forth between the US Canada by now. But not interested anymore. I work as a scientist in a biotechnology industry in the Niagara region. I prefer to be outdoors than always sitting in house. I love to go for long drives, exploring new cities or places, going to the beach, river fronts etc during summer time. I also like traveling. Apart from this I like shopping in the malls for clothing and all. I am more into casual clothing than formal ! I like some sports as tennis, soccer, swimming, walking (long walks) and jogging. I dont like to drink (once in a while little bit) and I am not much into bar scene. Occasionally these things are okay. I am also not into drugs etc. I am a big Starbucks (US effect !!) fan though. Sometimes I enjoy live bands, country and music (Pop, country and some others). I like to watch TV, watch movies and go to concerts. Apart from above I keep things clean (kind of finnicky, ha, ha !!) and like everything organized. I am also very clean, hygienewise. I am romantic and very loving; caring and affectionate and therefore I expect her to reciprocate the same. Respecting each others thoughts and feelings are absolutely necessary. I dont have very high expectations though. I am also not looking for a trophy wife. It's basically the chemistry and the compatibility. But compromise and adjustment is indeed necessary in every sphere of life. Nobody in this world is perfect except God. I look forward to meeting a pretty and sexy girl who is also honest and simple. Besides she is understanding as well as accomodating. I am looking for a long-term relationship (or may be friendship first) to start with. It would be great if there are prompt responses from those people who are serious. I keep busy with my work too. Therefore, no time wasters please. Anyway, it is okay not to get biased. Have a look at this and try to understand my personality. See if something sparks your interest. I dont want to elaborate and praise myself anymore in here. I guess this is enough for now. I am pretty much an open book. So just ask and discuss whatever you like to.
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Political interests , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing

We have eaten here many times over the years. Lovely food, cooked fresh and fast. Icy cold cocktails and the kids loved the thick shakes. Great staff and clean loos. Sit back and watch the sunset and enjoy. Good value for money.
Very nice setting, but the food lets this place down. Bulk standard Thai similar to Foodland counter food. I went to many better restaurants on Phuket beaches.
If you are staying at any of the Laguna resort hotels or villas, this is an ideal beach restaurant to visit. Located right outside the Laguna Beach Hotel, it has an elevated position built on stilts on the sand just yards from the sea. We have been coming to Phuket for 10 years and this is one of our regular...
We stayed at the Dusit Lagana and walked to this restaurant most evenings. It serves excellent food and the service is very good indeed. The food is always very fresh, very reasonably priced and the service is always swift and very friendly. Definately worth a visit.
We spent 12 days at the Laguna Beach resort this July and found this simple, quaint restaraunt to be pretty darned good in every respect. Great service from kind and caring staff, good, even at times fantastic food, very reasonable prices, brilliant views and sunsets if yuou can get them before the clouds cover up the setting sun. Excellent variety...
I don't agree at all with the review about the dry and tasteless food.
We have been eating there all week and every day the food has been very good. Even the children who are very picky loved the pasta bolognese and the green chicken curry.
I would definitely recommend this restaurant to people who love Thai food!
TOM YUM GOONG is situated on the beach behind the Laguna beach resort. At first glance it looks great to have alfresco dining by the sea.
Upon ordering food and eating it, it became apparent why there were only two other tables of people. Food was dry and tasteless. We couldn't even eat half of it as it was so...

DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Saint Patrick's Day Wreath
Contributed by
- ring of cardboard (empty cereal boxes work wonderfully).
- green construction paper.
- scissors,
- glue,
- small piece of wool.
- Optional: stapler and tape
- Trace a small plate and a large plate onto a piece of old cardboard. (My 6 year old enjoys tracing by herself. My 3 year old prefers I do this part.).
- Empty cereal boxes or frozen dinner boxes work well as a source of recycled cardboard.
- It doesn't matter if you go over the folds of the cardboard.
- Cut a small strip of cardboard and glue or tape it onto the back of the ring over any folds in the cardboard.
- This will reinforce the ring.
- Cut strips of construction paper (about 1 1/2 inches by 4 inches).
- Glue the strips into rolls (like making a paper chain).
- Glue the rolls of construction paper onto the wreath.
For the center clover decoration, cut:
- 4 strips of long paper (about 1 inch x 8 inches).
- 4 strips of medium paper (about 1 inch x 7 inches).
- 4 strips of short paper (about 1 inch x 6 inches).
Glue or tape each of the strips into rolls (you'll end up with 4 big, 4 medium and 4 small).
- Nestle a small roll inside a medium and a medium inside a large and tape, glue or staple them together (I prefer staples).
- Repeat with a second set. Now hold the two sets together, staple to staple and glue, tape or staple them (it makes a figure 8).
- Repeat with a third set and glue/staple that to the top of the figure 8 (you now have a 3 leaf clover).
Repeat one last time with the final set and glue/staple to make a four leaf clover.
- Roll a 3 inch square of construction paper as tightly as you can and glue/tape it to hold. Glue/tape it between one of the leaves of the clover as a stem.
- Take a piece of string and tape it to the wreath and to the clover so the clover hangs in the center of the wreath.
- Hang on the wall.
- We made a wreath with only one row of construction paper loops this time, but two rows looks great too! (Tasha likes single row wreaths and I prefer double -- to see an example of a double, check out the chinese new year version)

California Miramar University (CMU) is a for-profit higher education institution in San Diego, that offers degree and certificate programs through distance education, a combination of on-line and classroom (hybrid) delivery and traditional classroom delivery. It is nationally accredited through Distance Education and Training Council (DETC) and Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS).
California Miramar University is approved by the United States Department of Education[1] to offer Federal Student Aid for those who qualify. California Miramar University Financial Aid[2]
California Miramar University was approved and certified by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) on September 17, 2012. SEVP Certified Schools SEVP and SEVIS are administrated by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the principal investigative arm of the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS). CMU offers immigration status sponsorship for international ESL, certificate and degree program students through a student visa (I-20).
The California Post-Secondary Education Commission and Distance Education and Training Council and California Miramar University list CMU 's date of establishment as 2005.[3][4][5]
According to California Miramar University's website, CMU purchased the assets of Pacific Western University – California, including its State of California approval status, in late 2005. As part of the asset sale, an institutions transition plan was implemented that called for PWU (California) to relocate to San Diego and teach out all active students over 18 months.[5]
In early 2007 the conditions of the asset transition were complete and the California State Approval was officially transferred to CMU. At that time Pacific Western University (California) ceased operations. Later that year California Miramar University filed for accreditation. As part of the accreditation process the accrediting agency ruled that CMU and PWU California were separate schools that operated with separate academic standards. The accreditation agencies stipulated that graduates of Pacific Western University (California) would not be eligible to receive CMU diplomas or transcripts and that the records of the two schools should be held separate. To comply with accreditation requirements, CMU transferred copies of all PWU – California institutional and student records to Education Services, which now serves as the official custodian of records for all PWU students.[5][6]
For more information on PWU see Pacific Western University (Hawaii).
On June 6, 2009, California Miramar received accreditation by the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC),[4] and on December 18, 2009, CMU was awarded a second accreditation from the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS).[7] Both DETC and ACICS are recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation and the United States Department of Education as official accrediting bodies.
Prior to 2007 CMU received approval to operate from the California Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education (BPPVE).[3] The BPPVE was not a recognized accreditor, nor did its approval serve as a substitute for educational accreditation. State Approval meant that the Bureau had determined and certified that each approved institution had met minimum standards as established in state law for integrity, financial stability, and educational quality. To qualify for approval, an institution had to meet standards with regard to course objectives, and content of courses; physical space; equipment and instructional materials. Other approval criteria included the education, experience and qualifications of instructors and administrators; maintenance of student records; compliance with health and safety codes; and policies for refunding unused tuition and fees. State approval was also a prerequisite in order for a private institution to become accredited.[8] California Miramar University is California State Approved by means of accreditation under the California Private Postsecondary Education Act of 2009, section 94890.[9][10] State Approval is regulated by the California Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education. (BPPE)[11]
On August 22, 2011, California Miramar University's MBA Program was listed as one of the top ten MBA programs in San Diego by the San Diego Business Journal, ranked by enrollment.[12][13]
Degree programs
California Miramar University offers the degree programs and certificate programs in English as a Second Language (ESL) and Hospitality Management as well as undergraduate level degrees in Public Administration and Business Administration. The Bachelor level program in Business Administration include seven separate majors. The graduate level degrees include six separate majors in the Masters of Business Administration degree program, Master of Science degree programs in Strategic Leadership,and four separate majors in the Doctor of Business Administration degree program.[14]
CalJOBS Approved Certificate Programs
The University also offers a wide range of short term Certificate programs including Cisco certifications and Microsoft certifications. These programs are approved by the State of California's Employment Development Department and are eligible for financial assistance under the Workforce Investment Act(WIA). The programs are listed at the CalJOBS website. California's Employment Development Department.
Events Prior To CMU's Purchase
In May 2004 the U.S. Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs conducted hearings to determine whether the federal government had paid for, or governmental officials possessed, degrees from unaccredited schools.[15] As part of those hearing the US Government Accountability Office presented the results of an eight-month examination and report.[16] As the basis of the report, the GAO searched the Internet for nontraditional, unaccredited post-secondary schools that offered degrees that met their search criteria. After the passage of the Homeland Security Act, Section 4107 of tile 5, U.S. Code was amended. After this act became law in 2002, the federal government could pay for the cost of academic degree training for federal employees only if the college or university providing that training was accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting body. The Senate Committee official transcript references Pacific Western University in Los Angeles and Pacific Western University in Hawaii as two of the unaccredited schools the GAO found online and mentioned during the hearing. The Senate transcript states that Pacific Western University in Los Angeles was recognized as a California State Approved institution. However, as the State of Hawaii had no state approval process for a private university, the Senate transcript states that it was difficult to tell the difference in the status of the two schools.[15]
CMU's accrediting agency ruled that CMU and PWU California were separate schools that operated with separate academic standards. PWU California alumni were determined not to be alumni of California Miramar University.[5] To see PWU alumni visit Pacific Western University (Hawaii).
CMU is DANTES/VA DSST approved and offers several special programs for members of the United States Military, enabling members of the armed forces to continue their education through both distance, hybrid and classroom based learning, even while on active duty. In some cases, military experience and coursework may be accepted as transferable units.

Based in central London, Peter Kidd is a freelance researcher who works primarily on medieval manuscripts, with a particular specialisation in the cataloguing and provenance research of liturgical and illuminated books, leaves, and cuttings. He also works on post-medieval manuscripts, archives, and inventories, and on the provenance of printed books; he has also copy-edited and proof-read books by other authors for the Bodleian Library and for Brepols.
He has written hardcopy catalogues for the Bodleian Library, Huntington Library, Sam Fogg, AVoA, and auction houses; that of Queen's College Oxford is currently only available online. Most recently he collaborated on a study of the St Albans Psalter to accompany an exhibition at the Getty Museum, drawing on his work for a previous facsimile commentary.
[Click the images below for bibliographical details].
He is a Program Advisor to the Digital Scriptorium (since 2005), and a Committee Member of AMARC (since 2002). He was formerly the sole UK representative on the TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) Workgroup on Describing Medieval Manuscripts.
Before deciding to become freelance in 2006, he worked successively for Christie's, Sotheby's, the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Bodleian Library, and the British Library, where he was Curator of Illuminated Manuscripts, and helped develop the online catalogue of illuminated manuscripts into its current form (notably by scanning and incorporating tens of thousands of 35mm slides, instead of relying only on new digital photography, for which there was very limited funding).
Since then he has worked primarily for The National Trust (Sissinghurst, Knole, Petworth, and Coughton), The Bodleian Library (Departments of Manuscripts and Incunabula), auction-houses, dealers, and publishers, while continuing to publish in academic journals.
Each year since 2009 he has taught an introduction to Provenance Research for Medieval Manuscripts at the International Palaeography Summer School. He has been a Guest Scholar at the J. Paul Getty Museum, a Mellon Fellow at the Huntington Library, and a recipient of the Bibliographical Society's Falconer Madan Award.

Peggy Mize, Owner/Broker
I just love what I do and consider myself passionate about helping others achieve their goals.
With over 25 years as a Top Producer in Life Insurance and Annuity Sales, and as the owner of other successful businesses, I learned that putting the needs of my clients above my own is most important. Through the financial planning courses in my insurance career, I learned that purchasing real estate is one of the fastest ways of accumulating wealth. Combining the two has given me the opportunity to serve my clients with the best of both worlds, real estate knowledge and financial planning knowledge.
To be involved in one of the most exciting acquisitions that people make in their life is truly part of the joy of this business. I look forward to each day with anticipation of meeting someone new and sharing in the search for that special 1st home , vacation home on one of the wonderful lakes that we have here in the Northeast Texas area, a farm or ranch or even just acreage or a home in town.
My husband, L.D. and I have owned a home on Lake Bob Sandlin and now we have one on Lake Cypress Springs. People always are asking me which I prefer. I have to answer, Both. L.D. and I both love to fish, and have fished both lakes extensively. The serene beauty of Lake Cypress Springs is unsurpassed. I am familiar with both lakes and can answer the questions that may arise while searching for property on either lake. Having lived on a farm for most of life, I am equally at ease showing land or farms and ranches.
As the broker/owner of RE/MAX Lake Country, every member of my team is committed to give service beyond what is expected. It is our mission to provide superior customer service to our clients!
Libby Gamble, Sales Associate
I lived in the Mt. Vernon, Lake Cypress area for approximately 10 years and am familiar with the area and the tri-lakes of Bob Sandlin, Cypress, and Monticello. I currently call Gladewater my home and am also familiar with the Longview/Tyler area. I have recently changed careers to the real estate industry after almost 18 years in public education. I love being a Realtor and serving the real estate needs of my clients and customers. To share a bit about me, I grew up in the country and consider myself to be a "country-girl." I am blessed with three children and a wonderful husband. My husband and I enjoy horseback riding, gardening, ballroom dancing, and spending time with our college age children when they are able to come home for the weekend/holidays. Trust and integrity are two of the qualities that I strive to demonstrate in every aspect of both my personal and professional life. Being affiliated with the Re/Max franchise reinforces both of these values through the fact that RE/MAX sold more homes nationwide and in Canada than any other branded real estate network last year for the 15th year in a row! At RE/MAX LAKE COUNTRY, our agents are committed professionals who invest themselves in the success of our clients. I look forward to being your Re/Max Realtor!
Christine Ogle Thomas, Sales Associate
The simple colors of Red, White and Blue brought together and flying high in our East Texas Sky is both a powerful and beautiful sight. So partnering my love of selling East Texas Property with the patriotic RE/MAX sign feels like a natural combination for me.
Being born and raised in East Texas has blessed me with a deep love and knowledge of our local East Texas Housing Market. With over 15 years' experience selling Real Estate, I understand the ebb and flow of our market which allows me to offer my clients calm and sound assistance with every transaction whether it is selling a property, buying a first home, or handling the largest investment of a lifetime. My business motto is simple; of course the long version would have elegant words like Integrity, Honesty and Perseverance, in-short I look forward to being a trusted friend long after the transaction is complete. My goal is to be the one you trust to go to for all your Real Estate needs.
In addition to a proven track record, I am your neighbor. I was raised in Longview and currently live in Gilmer, TX with my husband Blake. We have 4 great kids in our combined family. So needless to say, I understand each family has different needs in a home whether it's a family of one or a family of six.
Call me today and let's get started finding the "Right" property for you. Finding the "Right" Property means I will listen to your needs, wants, concerns, budget requirements and I will never put the transaction or commission above your best interest. Also, I may be partial to our patriotic RE/MAX sign but I am equipped and ready to show you any home listed on the market whether it is ours or any other real estate company. Let's get to work!

AMICUS Hall of Honor Member/Heritage Society and 2014 Gold Caduceus Honoree
Francis A. Madsen, more
commonly known as Frank, was born on January 6, 1931, at LDS Hospital in Salt
Lake City, Utah. He has fond childhood memories of climbing on the brick piles
of the Ogden High School construction site, as his family lived across the street
for many years.
Frank and his family left Ogden after six years and
moved back to Salt Lake City where he attended Longfellow Elementary School,
Bryant Junior High School, and East High School. In high school, he
participated in football, basketball, and track until he graduated in 1948 as
the valedictorian of his graduating class.
After high school, Frank enrolled at the University of Utah and nearly
completed his undergraduate degree before serving a mission for the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) in Ontario, Canada. After his
mission, Frank completed his undergraduate degree in 1954, graduated from law
school in 1955 (entering the Utah State Bar that same year), earned a Master of
Business Administration in 1956, and received a commission in the Air Force.
Throughout his education, he also managed to find time to work in his family's
business, Madsen Furniture Company.
After finishing school, Frank was ordered to the Francis E. Warren Air Force
Base near Cheyenne, Wyoming, where he served as Assistant Staff Judge Advocate
for three years. When he returned to Salt Lake City in 1959, Frank practiced
corporate law while also participating in various family-owned
In 1976 Frank accepted an offer from Senator Orrin Hatch to be his Chief of
Staff in Washington, D.C. He held this position for eight years and then became
Chief Counsel of the United States Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee
for four years.
While Frank served his country, he also provided countless years of service to
the LDS church. One of his many callings include Bishop at three different
times, each to a different congregation. In 1988, Frank and his wife,
Constance, were called to serve as Mission Presidents in Boston,
Massachusetts. After their mission ended, Frank continued to hold
administrative callings in Ohio and New York, as well as serve on both the
Public Affairs Advisory Committee and the Foreign Affairs Advisory Committee.
In this capacity, he successfully negotiated with the communist governments of
Hungary and other Eastern European nations to obtain legal status for the LDS
church in those countries.
Upon returning to Salt Lake City in 1995, Frank served
on a number of boards for charitable institutions, one of which was the Heart
and Lung Research Foundation Board for Intermountain Healthcare. Frank was also
served on Intermountain's Research and Medical Foundation Board for nine years
with the assignment of directing the Legacy of Life program while also raising
funds for the new Intermountain Medical Center. Upon completion of his
Intermountain Research and Medical Foundation term he has continued to direct
the Legacy of Life gala, having chaired the last several events. The
Intermountain Research and Medical Foundation expresses sincere gratitude
to Frank for his ongoing service and dedication.
Dr. Todd Allen
AMICUS Lifetime Member
Dr. Allen grew up in Bountiful, Utah, and pursued a degree in chemistry at the University of Utah before entering the medical program in 1991. Upon graduation, he served his residency in emergency medicine at the University of Pittsburgh, where an appreciation for academic emergency medicine and the spirit of inquiry was formed. Following his residency, Dr. Allen completed a fellowship in academic emergency medicine at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and the University of Sydney in Australia. While there, he came across a job opportunity with the Department of Emergency Medicine and Trauma Services at LDS Hospital and a chance to return home.
Dr. Allen's interests lie in clinical trauma research, academic emergency medicine, and bringing the techniques and ideas of Pulmonary and Critical Care research, particularly the techniques of computerized bedside decision support, to real-time operation in the emergency departments of both Intermountain Medical Center and LDS Hospital. Dr. Allen led a research project at Intermountain Medical Center and at LDS Hospital that shows both hospitals greatly reduced the number of sepsis-related deaths. "We have saved about 50 to 70 lives per year at those two institutions," he says. Over the past several years, Dr. Allen has received funding from Intermountain Research & Medical Foundation for research projects that have received local and national attention. He served as the Vice-Chair of Intermountain Research & Medical Foundation's Research Committee until 2011. Dr. Allen has been a generous donor and has reached the Lifetime level. Intermountain Research & Medical Foundation expresses our deepest gratitude to Dr. Todd Allen for his continuing support to the Foundation and his dedication to the Science of Medicine, the Spirit of Caring and the Miracle of Healing.

The Chase: bobble-hatting in Wales
Using an Audi RS7 and a helicopter, Ollie Marriage tries to keep up with WRC Rally GB
Posted: 20 Nov 2013
The Audi RS7 is practical
Here it is with a bike in the boot. At one stage it carried two bikes, one of which was in a box. Don't ask. It also carried three days worth of Welsh rally-wear (hats, wellies, waterproofs, gloves etc), office stuff (laptops, cameras, notepads, phones, iPods...), family kit (an eight year old son and associated teddies, car seats, clothes, toys etc), plus all the other necessities: food, maps, passes, more clothes, mud. It was so massive that I didn't have to give a thought to packing neatly. This might not have been a good thing. Some things did tend to fly around the cabin.

Council objects to West Cumbria village housing plan
Last updated at 12:46, Friday, 28 September 2012
Brigham Parish Council has objected to plans for a £5.5 million housing development in the village.
Social landlord Home Group wants to create the 35-home estate on land to the east of Ellerbeck Brow, but councillors said they feared it would increase the volume of traffic through the village.
At a special meeting on Monday, members said they were also concerned about access to the site and questioned whether the village needed more housing.
It was also revealed earlier this month that private developer Kirkcross Developments wants to build 50 homes on the Kirkcross Quarry site in Brigham.
Council chairman Brian Earley said: "Looking at each plan in isolation would be a mistake.
"We're aware there are a number of plans and potential sites which would have an effect on the village.
"We have to consider the incremental creep of the amount of housing that the village could end up with, not just from the Ellerbeck scheme but if other schemes are granted planning permission.
"Planners need to take into account the impact of not just the Ellerbeck scheme but all of the schemes that are put forward, including the Kirkcross scheme.
"We need the planners to seriously consider whether there is a need for more affordable housing in this village.
"The Fitz development has already been given the go-ahead about a mile down the road, there are two affordable homes at the former police headquarters which haven't sold yet, and there are already rental properties within the village."
Home Group's plans include 12 homes for rent, 12 for shared ownership and 11 for open market sale.
The social landlord said that the open market houses would subsidise the affordable homes.
Of the 24 rented and shared ownership homes, 12 would be two-bedroom and 12 would be three-bedroom and be a mixture of semi detached and terraced housing.
Of the 11 open market houses there would be one three-bedroom detached bungalow, three three-bedroom detached houses, five four-bedroom houses and two four-bedroom detached houses.
Each house would have two off-road parking spaces.
Home Group plans to work with Flimby firm Thomas Armstrong to build the houses.
More than 70 letters of objection have been submitted to Allerdale council. Brigham council handed in its objection on Tuesday.

Commentary: One Anti-Poverty Initiative Both Sides Can Agree On
January 24, 2014
While liberals and conservatives differ sharply in assessing the War on Poverty,[1] they seem to agree that we must do more to help low-income childless workers to succeed in the workplace -- most likely by strengthening the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), which currently does little for this group.
A number of liberal lawmakers and policy analysts have long advocated for a stronger EITC for childless workers, and support for such a step is now growing among conservatives as well.
- Noting that the EITC "promotes work as it reduces poverty," former George W. Bush economic advisor Glenn Hubbard wrote recently, "Increasing the credit for childless workers to an amount closer to that for families with children would augment the direct work incentive and help counter poverty among the working poor."[2]
- "Don't forget the poor," Lori Sanders and Eli Lehrer of the R Street Institute (a conservative think tank), urged Weekly Standard readers, explaining that "Properly structured work incentives would build on ... the Earned Income Tax Credit, which remains decidedly modest. For a single worker without children living at home, the EITC refunds less than $425 per year. Introducing and expanding similar wage supplements . . . would further encourage a life of work as preferable to welfare or life in the underground economy."[3]
- Similarly, the American Enterprise Institute's (AEI) Michael Strain noted that the EITC "gives very little help to childless workers" and called for amending the EITC "to offer more support to childless workers."[4]
- David Neumark, a University of California economist whom conservatives cite often on minimum wage issues, asked "whether we are providing a sufficient income floor for childless low-wage adults, who have to a large extent been left out in the cold by our income-support and safety net programs."[5]
In addition, Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) recently highlighted[6] why the federal government should do more to subsidize the wages of low-income workers, including childless adults (though he proposed replacing the EITC with a new, untested wage subsidy, which would be ill-advised).[7] While his actual proposals raise significant concerns, the fact that a prominent conservative lawmaker would call for an ambitious wage subsidy for low-income workers who aren't raising children is another sign of bipartisan concern for this group.
In one sense, conservative support for strengthening the EITC isn't surprising. This tax credit has enjoyed broad bipartisan support over the years -- President Ford signed it into law, and President Reagan lauded the credit and proposed, and signed, a major expansion of it -- because the EITC helps low-income people struggling to make ends meet while encouraging work and personal responsibility.
As Richard Burkhauser of Cornell University and AEI said recently, "I'm not exaggerating when I say, look, I've been doing public policy since the 1970s, and this program worked." [8] Leading conservative economist and Nobel laureate Gary Becker of the University of Chicago has made similar, highly laudatory comments about the EITC, noting that it "increases the labor force participation and employment of people with low wages."[9]
Next to Social Security, the EITC combined with the refundable portion of the Child Tax Credit constitutes the nation's most powerful anti-poverty program. These two credits lifted 10.1 million people out of poverty in 2012, including 5.3 million children (see chart). As AEI's Michael Strain points out, the EITC "is a very effective anti-poverty tool because it supplements earnings and incentivizes employment. Expansions of the EITC have been very successful at encouraging work, particularly among single mothers during the 1990s."
Indeed, a highly regarded study found that these EITC expansions did more to increase employment among single mothers than the 1996 welfare law.[10]
Further research has shown that the EITC has long-term benefits as well, helping children do better in school. In addition, research shows, children with more adequate incomes early in childhood earn more and work more as adults.[11]
The most glaring hole in the EITC, however, is its almost complete exclusion of childless adults.[12] A childless adult working full time at the minimum wage earns too much to receive the credit. Partly as a result, childless workers are the sole group of workers that the federal tax system taxes into -- and in many cases, deeper into -- poverty.
For childless workers who qualify for the EITC, the credit is very small, averaging just $270 a year. And the childless workers' EITC is restricted to workers aged 25-64, so all childless workers under age 25 are ineligible for it. This is unfortunate given the low employment rates among less-skilled young workers and the importance of young people gaining a toehold in the economy.
Karl Scholz, a University of Wisconsin economist and former Treasury official who is one of the nation's foremost authorities on the EITC, has strongly recommended a more ample EITC for childless workers to raise their employment rates. "[I]ncreasing the return to work for childless workers will lower unemployment rates and [thereby] achieve the dual social benefits of reducing incarceration rates and increasing marriage rates," he writes.[13]
Likewise, the Brookings Institution's Ron Haskins, one of the key architects of the 1996 welfare law (as the chief House Republican staff member for welfare reform), argues that an expanded EITC for childless workers would:
provide the very thing that most analysts agree is most needed -- namely, work incentive ... [and] the young man's prospects in the marriage market would receive a nice boost. Studies show clearly that married young males are healthier, happier, less likely to commit crimes and less likely to abuse drugs than single males. Thus, to the extent that additional income increases marriage rates, the new EITC would produce fringe benefits beyond mere economic outcomes.[14]
Of course, how to expand help for childless adults also matters. Some conservatives would strengthen the EITC as an alternative to any increase in the minimum wage, a position with which we strongly disagree. Both a strong EITC and an adequate minimum wage are needed to ensure that work "pays" for those in low-wage jobs and thereby to bring more people into the labor force, as a recent CBPP analysis explained.[15]
But that shouldn't detract from the apparent emerging consensus that a critical next step to alleviate poverty is to better reward the work of low-income childless adults. It's time for policymakers across the political spectrum to begin work on this important task.

Comm Mohamad Fuzi talking to the family members of the slain cops after giving donations at the Bukit Aman headquarters.
KUALA LUMPUR: It's been nearly a year, but Jabah Mingku's heart still aches for her husband and she overcomes her grief by visiting his grave.
The 34-year-old said she was still struggling to come to terms with her husband's death.
Deputy Supt Michael Padel was among one of six policemen who were gunned down during Ops Daulat at Kampung Sri Jaya, Siminul, Semporna.
"It's not easy accepting that he's no longer here. Whenever I miss him, I visit the Heroes' Grave in Kuching where he's laid to rest," Jabah said at the Bukit Aman police headquarters yesterday.
"I'm being strong for our 12-year-old son. It will be hard for McLoie to grow up without a father."
The housewife added that the tremendous moral support she received from her relatives had helped her cope with Michael's death.
"I hope that my husband's sacrifice will not be forgotten," she said.
Family members of the policemen killed when Sulu gunmen attacked Lahad Datu and Semporna were at the headquarters to receive a special donation from Special Task Force (Operations and Counter Terrorism) Director Comm Datuk Seri Mohamad Fuzi Harun.
Meanwhile, Amirul Shafiq Ibrahim, 23, has stepped up to become the "rock" of his family ever since his father, Special Branch officer Asst Comm Ibrahim Lebar, died in a shootout with the armed gunmen.
"My mother was devastated upon hearing news of my father's death," recalled the Universiti Teknologi Mara Segamat student.
"Being the eldest of three, I knew I had to be strong for her and my younger sisters.
"I hope to graduate soon so that I am able to help my family financially."
Also honoured at yesterday's event were policemen who were wounded during Ops Daulat.
Special Branch officer Insp Mohd Hasnal Jamil, 32, said he was still haunted by memories of the shootout. He was shot three times and suffered six slash wounds to his arms.
"Given the severity of my injuries, I am very lucky to be alive," said Insp Mohd Hasnal.
"I am proud of my fellow policemen who lost their lives protecting this country against the intruders."

On October 22nd, 2010, FFLV inaugurated the third Sandipani Muni School. On that same day, they had the ground-breaking ceremony for their fourth school at Govardhan. India has the larger number of poor children in Asia with 80% of its 400 million children severely deprived. In fact, 60% of India's children are considered absolutely poor. Food for Life Vrindavan has served the needs of the poorest villages in the Vrindavan area (120 Km south of New Delhi) since 1990 and has become one of leading non-profits in all of India.
FFLV Services include:
- The Sandipani Muni Schools provides education for 1500 needy children from kindergarten to the end of high school. Our school children are girls only, with boys allowed in kindergarten only. We have made this decision to focus on girls because the local culture favours boys over girls, and so girls get less food; less medical care; less education and less opportunities in general.
- Skills training courses for adult women.
- Food distribution of 66,000 meals a month.
- Sanctuary and medical care for sick injured and abandoned cows.
- Basic medical assistance to about 1,000 people per month.
- Assistance to the elderly and the disabled.
- Environmental projects, including tree planting.

Product description
Founded in 1868 by the Cambridge scholars John Eyton Bickersteth Mayor (1825-1910), William George Clark (1821-78), and William Aldis Wright (1831-1914), this biannual journal was a successor to The Journal of Classical and Sacred Philology (also reissued in the Cambridge Library Collection). Unlike its short-lived precursor, it survived for more than half a century, until 1920, spanning the period in which specialised academic journals developed from more general literary reviews. Predominantly classical in subject matter, with contributions from such scholars as J. P. Postgate, Robinson Ellis and A. E. Housman, the journal also contains articles on historical and literary themes across the 35 volumes, illuminating the growth and scope of philology as a discipline during this period. Volume 10, comprising issues 19 and 20, was published in 1882.

GS News Top 5 - A Fish Plays Pokemon; Sony Sued Over Killzone On PS4
Evolve gets delayed until 2015, we have all the details on Assassin's Creed: Rogue, and did Sony lie about Killzone: Shadow Fall being 1080p?

Join Jess McDonell every weekday for a punchy wrap-up of the biggest news to come out of video games!
Schedule: weekly
Host: Jess McDonell
Crew: Edmond Tran
Only really watched this video for the Pokémon bit, shame about the backlash on the "pixelated Ash" comment, I actually didn't think about it, until reading the comments, although actually, in addition to what has previously been said, "Ash" was a default name available for Pokémon Red, and not just Pokémon Yellow, which was based on the anime, although I wouldn't personally know myself, as I played Pokémon Blue instead ;), and didn't have enough money to buy Pokémon LeafGreen/FireRed :'(!
Come on fish, keep on swimming, two Pokémon down, 148 to go ;), unless you manage to get a time machine and get a Pokémon Event in the 90s, then it's 149 ;)!
It is about time they got called out on the number fixing to sell titles! It was such a gimmick that fanboys really held onto.
Just like the whole contrast ratio for TVs, which varied from make to maker since they all had different base lines and reference points. But damn did they ever use those numbers to try and increase sales counts, just like the 1080P fiasco.
Ridiculous lawsuit they are wasting the time of the legal system.
@Taganobie ye I don't even think sony should be sued over this. considering guerrilla games never even used to be a sony studio before sony aquired them after killzone 1 did so well. it should be down to the developers who obviously lied to sony told them it was native 1080p when it wasn't, their studio should pay the price not sony. at any rate, I think that guy was just very bitter probably didn't like killzone anyway and thought screw it they give me this sucky game and lie to me about it I am going to sue them. there are plenty of people that like the game and the graphics are still brilliant despite not being native 1080p at least its better than the xbox one upscaling games to 1080p from 720p on most games.
I want to preface this with saying, Shame on you Sony! You guys are better than that! annd Cheers to Bikini Bottom for finally getting Pokemon Red!
although the suit against sony is justifiable, i'm not sure the pixel difference would add a significant amount of quality to Shadow Fall. At least not enough to throw on a suit, a lawsuit, and a few months of legal work....
Ps. Am I the only one that finds the idea of a fish catching something really funny!?
the lawsuit isn't that bad considering that sony lied to it's fans if they said straight up what it was it would be fine but lying is just wrong
Okay, the lawsuit is crazy. I own the game and the graphics are amazing.
But... I WANT IN. As someone who owns it I demand to be included in the class action. In the even there is a lunatic judge out there, I wanna chance to get a 3 dollar check from Sony.
I love my PS4, but self-interest trumps.
" I own the game and the graphics are amazing."
Yes, the graphics are amazing. I have the game too, regardless of the specifics of the numbers.
Is it really in your long term self-interest to engage in opportunistic lawsuits?
Just a thought.
So is assassins creed rouge only being released for old gen so that the can re-release it again "remastered"? Since all the current gen consists of is old gen games "remastered", which basically just means increased resolution and slightly better textures. I am still waiting patiently for the the "greatness that awaits me".
Am I the only one mildly annoyed that she said "pixel Ash" when talking about the pokemon twitch? His name is Red.
Not enough that I'm going to rant about it but it just seems that this is such common knowledge that I don't see why there was any mistake.
Minus she's a female who likely has zero interest in video games and is just paid to get our attention.
She's a big gamer.
Nit-picking at things will only alienate everyone in your life from you.
@Roanark I game plenty, thank you, but I don't need to prove myself to you.
@tempertress @Roanark i'm sorry you had to read that ( i know i can't really apologize for other people but lord knows they aren't going to apologize for them selves)
@Roanark maybe not. i would not have known as pokemon came out after my childhood. i know pikachu and that is it end of fcuken list. also i don't care about pokemon but some people do.
now if you knew anything about jess or even spent anytime watching GS news, or any of her other shows, you would know that its COMMON KNOWLEDGE that she is an avid gamer and then you would not have that foot in your mouth
@Roanark She was probably calling him the pixelated Ash because of the TV show. You could pick multiple names for him (including your own) at the beginning of the game, Red just happened to be the one that stuck while people were talking about the game generically. As a Pokemon lover since the original, I thought what she said was funny, and you are just a misogynistic Asshole.
@suppaphly42 @tempertress @Roanark SWEET MOVE BRO I THINK YOU'RE IN
Stupid to sue for 100 pixels.
@yemanator2k14 It's stupid to complain about 720P games vs 1080P games (some XboxOne games vs. those same games on the PS4) really but people do it anyway. Sure, that's a "bigger" difference in quality, but who the heck cares so much about eye candy when the game WORKS and, at the very least, looks good, period??
@sirapathetic01 @yemanator2k14
The best looking console games of last generation were 720p on the PS3 and no one cared that they were 720p. Everyone praised the graphics. No one cared about the official number. It's what you see on screen that counts.
It the benefits, or end result that count. Not the features (the actual numbers).
If the numbers weren't mentioned, everyone would take the graphics by what the see on screen and not by the numbers.
@sirapathetic01 @yemanator2k14 Because there is a difference especially if you got used to it, and it's 2014.
1080p 60fps should be the standard.
To me the 720p can be ignored. The 60 fps is an absolute must. If your game isn't running at 60fps, you doing it wrong.
Racing games at 30 fps are a joke.
@SaintsRowLA @sirapathetic01 @yemanator2k14 you just made the case against buying a next gen console.
Its ridiculous that Console companies lie, but its also ridiculous some dork has the nerve to sue over something so trivial. I know its a broken record but, the nerd should have went P.C. if graphics matter that much to him.
I want Jess to whisper in my ear till I fall asleep every night.
@Tranula. me too
@suppaphly42 @ChiefFreeman I like all woman. Besides, shes not ugly. You are.
@Tranula i hope you didn't address that to me on purpose as i am not ugly nor do i think jess is :)
@ChiefFreeman and you must like your self and awful lot to say a thing like that
@Tranula get in line lol
Why were people shocked Sony lied about a game's resolution, heck they were even touting Watch Dogs as 1080P and 60fps just a few days before it released lol. Huge Companies are not your friends, they lie for profit whenever they can(sorry i had to break the news to you true believers)
@rickphoenixxx Check that. Console companies are not our friends.
@rickphoenixxx This is the same company that put rootkit's into CD's that would infect your OS (Google Sony BMG copy protection rootkit), and Sony Pictures Senior VP had this to say about it: "The industry will take whatever steps it needs to protect itself and protect its revenue streams...
It will not lose that revenue stream, no matter what... Sony is going
to take aggressive steps to stop this. We will develop technology that
transcends the individual user. We will firewall Napster at source - we will block it at your cable company. We will block it at your phone company. We will block it at your ISP. We will firewall it at your PC... These strategies are being aggressively pursued because there is simply too much at stake."
Sounds like the bad guys in some of their video games, right?
Killzone Shadowfall was blurry to the point of distraction........they do realise they are playing on consoles right? If they were that sensitive to resolution they should just stick to PC at 4K. Consoles were never about maximum visuals. Consoles have been behind PC in pretty much every visual case for every console, so why is it suddenly such a shocker?
Why would so many people be tempted to buy the game if its multiplayer runs at 1080p? Thats a load of rubbish in my opinion. If people have anything to complain about it should be that the game wasn't that good to begin with. Completely wasted my money on it. (Complete COD clone)
@ahmad996 Sadly I think some people would actually buy the game just because of how pretty it is and not how good the game is. When I was growing up it was all about how good the game was to play, how good it looked came second. But now it's all about how good the game looks, or any other positives that can be used as ammunition in the pathetic console wars.
@pointingmonkey @ahmad996 The perfect example for that would be what sledgehammer is doing with advance warfare. Only promoting how good it looks.
"Lawsuit Because of Killzone"
Silly, Frivolous, Opportunistic
@SaintsRowLA Damn straight! What's suing Sony going to solve?
Maybe it will help them to be more honest in every claim they make.
I don't think there was any damage done.
I think everyone loses when people file these opportunistic frivolous lawsuits.
"Millions were tricked into buying the shooter. I think most people would have bought the game regardless of it being 1080p or 960p or 960p upscalle to 1080p, ect.
Thank you for your response.
Sony's lead is partially related to the 1080p argument. Because of their false advertising, it has done unfair damage to Microsoft that is unrepairable. While I don't agree with the plaintiff being awarded any money other than a refund - Sony should admit publicly about their dishonest practice. This isn't the first time Sony has been guilty of false advertising - and obviously not their last. A punishment is in order here for a repeat offender.
@Sevenizz Sevenizz, some of us have got together and have been moved by your consistently righteous stand against the dishonest practices of games companies, particularly Sony, and we have come up with the best punishment of them all for Sony.
We believe that if you, Sevenizz refuse....(im in tears to even have to type this, it's that sad a thought) if you Sevenizz refuse Sony your purchase of any of their platforms (PS3, PS4, Vita) then that would speak volumes to Sony about how naughty they have been and we believe would ensure Sony goes bankrupt and never gets the chance to lie....ever again!
THE moment you "The Almighty Sevenizz" tell Sony that you are going to do this Sony will melt like the wicked witch of the west in the documentary "Alice in Wonderland".
You are THE hero of our times! God Bless you!
I recently replayed the ME trilogy and noticed ME1 had much inferior graphics to the latter titles. Know a good lawyer?
Seriously if it bothers them so much, as for a refund. Filing a lawsuit is just an effort to steal their money.
If AC Rogue were good they'd be letting GameSpot get a preview of it, I believe.
Good pun, give it an 8 on the Pun Pain Scale (0=no effect, 10=need alcohol to forget it).
But in all seriousness - as a student of marketing, regardless of who's doing the false advertising or manipulative marketing - it's wrong.
Sort of how Sony stole money by deceptive advertising? You approve of this type if marketing? You like being blatantly being lied to by mega corporations? This case sends a message that the little people don't like being swindled and they will fight back!
Stop being a blind fanboy for just a freaking second.
LOL, you keep bringing the funny.
While Evolve's multiplayer nature will make it a pass for me, it's a rare game that really looks fully next gen.
American courts are pretty serious about false advertising. The question is how the plaintiffs can prove BOTH that Sony made misleading statements AND that those statements prompted people to buy the game. If ten thousand people join the suit but only fifty can even tell you what 1080p means, they're not going to get paid.
'No harm, no foul'
Wa Wa Wa, it wasn't 1080p. Wa Wa Wa!
"any fin is possible"
I see what you did there ^_^
