Cumbrian dad steps up to give his daughter a kidney
Last updated at 11:59, Saturday, 15 December 2012
A Cockermouth father has given his daughter a new lease of life – by donating his kidney.
Seventy-four-year-old Norman Pitts didn't think twice after his daughter Julie Irving, who has had health problems for 30 years, was told her kidneys were only working at 10 per cent capacity earlier this year.
Her kidney condition was never considered serious until it worsened after the birth of her daughter Kerry in 1985.
"When I found out about it there was never a doubt in my mind that I would put myself forward," Mr Pitts, of Henry Street, Cockermouth, said.
"There was no way I wanted to see her go through dialysis if I could help it."
Norman and his other daughter Shirley Ward put themselves forward as potential donors and after tests found out they were both compatible.
"I always felt I was a reasonably fit person and I just feel very lucky that I was compatible with Julie," he said. "It is marvellous that I have been able to do it and I don't feel any different at all."
Both Mr Pitts and daughter Julie Irving, 51, of Langdale Drive, are now recovering after the major transplant.
It means that Julie, who has had health problems since she was 21, now has a kidney operating at 97 per cent.
Mr Pitts, former assistant operations manager for parks and cemeteries at Allerdale Council, is vice chairman of Cockermouth Rugby Union club.
He and Julie had the operation in Newcastle's Freeman Hospital after she was told that if she didn't get a new kidney she would have to go to a dialysis machine.
She said: "This is a million times better than what dialysis would have been. I am just glad dad could do something to help."
Julie is taking 30 tablets a day to make sure her body does not reject the kidney and visits Carlisle's Cumberland Infirmary three times a week for tests.
Both she and Norman have to take it easy until after Christmas.

Sen. Harkin Promises Return to Card Check
The Hill is reporting that Iowa's leading Democrat, Senator Tom Harkin, is promising that the lame-duck Senate will again take up Big Labor's favored Employee Free Choice Act, (EFCA), the famous card check act that is neither good for employees nor one that facilitates "free choice" of any kind.
Apparently, what's bad for the nation is easier to push when Democrats already feel that the 2010 election will erase their giant majorities in Congress so they want to launch a last ditch effort to sneak this through before the people can speak at the ballot box.
And isn't that just the thing, here? The people did speak in 2006 and 2008, after all. They spoke in favor of Democrats. Yet, even with all that support Harkin and his far left cronies couldn't lead their overwhelming majority to pass the jobs killing bill. Even their fellow Democrats were against it because they knew the voters stood against it.
Yet now, when they feel that many of them will lose their seats anyway, they want to go back to pushing this bad policy? Isn't that an admission that Democrats do not care what the people want?
Plainly it is.
Yet, Harkin is claiming that the lame-duck Senate will take this up anyway.
"To those who think it's dead, I say think again," Harkin said on the liberal Bill Press radio show.
Harkin is unashamedly saying, "Damn the people, we have big money donors in Big Labor to satisfy."
Those of you that stand against federal control of our worker's wages, benefits, and pensions and those of you that stand against union bosses being given the color of federal authority to place their iron boots on the neck of our struggling economy should call your senators and representatives and again urge them to steer clear of the EFCA.

With its mystical temples and exotic sights, sounds and smells, Asia offers a rich and vibrant experience for any traveler. And there is perhaps no better way to experience Asia than in the comfort of a luxurious river ship. Cruising through Vietnam and Cambodia on the Mekong has become a bucket list staple for many cruisers, and those who want to push further afield can try Burma's Irrawaddy, India's Ganges or China's Yangtze.

A Burma river cruise experience is far removed from that which is the norm in Europe. Vessels range from ultra-luxury to traditional Burmese style, but what they have in common is the incomparable scenery.
The Mekong flows from China's Tibetan Plateau, through Burma, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam; many cruises visit Ho Chi Minh City and offer land tours to Hanoi.
China's longest river is also a hot destination for exotic cruise trips; typical cruises are paired with land tours, and popular stops include Beijing and Shanghai.

Car drop-off date
Car pick-up date
Located 2 mi. from the Portland Airport
Book Online and Save! We provide economical airport parking just two miles away from the Portland International Airport. Our Shuttle Runs 24hrs, from 3am-2pm every 20 minutes and after 2pm it is on demand.You must book your parking online and show up with your confirmation. Address and Driving Directions will be provided on conformation.
It was my very first time using this kind of service and it worked out perfect. Both ways the shuttle was there within minutes and the driver was really helpful. I will definitely use this service again in the future.
Every thing was good except that my truck was vandalized in the parking lot while I was gone. It will cast me several hundred dollars to fix the damage. I reported it to the hotel before I left.
The parking lot felt safe, though I had to arrive and leave at night.
The return shuttle came quickly.
This is the second time I have used Global at this lot, plus two times at other lots - each time have been well satisfied.
Terrific service as always
My favorite place to park and ride is the Holiday Inn.
We will do it again next time!
Would definitely recommend and will not most certainly use this service again.
Easy way to park and fly!
There is no security for this parking lot. Our car and many others were broken into. We recieved little assistance from Holiday Inn to resolve this.
They should not be included as a parking lot with Global Parking.
The pick up took 20 minutes even though we were told they would "send the driver now" This is unacceptable compared to the efficiency of the competition. It was 3.30 on a weekday not the middle of the night. The driver didn't take us to our car which is common these days. Although I like the HI team their performance today was mediocre!
The shuttle and service were very good...the driver to the airport was very accommodating, and return service was prompt and easy!
The parking lot was easy to locate. My only concern was glass near one of our cars...looked like window glass, and there was quite a bit of it on the ground near my son-in-law's car. The glass was there when we parked, and still there when we returned 10 days later. This implies that maintenance in the parking lot is limited? Made us a little uncomfortable.
I had the same driver both times, excellent service.
I would leave my car their again

Hello all,
The first forum I made worked so well, I thought I'd give it another go for yet another traveling topic! In the fall, I am planning on going to Budapest, Hungary for about 6-8 months to teach English. I am working on finding a way to get TEFL certified sometime soon, but if I don't have the time to do it before I leave, I will be getting certified while I'm in Budapest.
With that said, I have nothing to do from when I graduate to when I would be leaving for Hungary! I want to work in order to make and save money, but I also want to travel and gain experience teaching. So, I have been thinking of scheduling a short trip abroad to teach English during the summertime. I have been researching online looking for programs for students/recent graduates that allow the student to travel abroad (anywhere) for just a few short weeks (3-4), teach in a school and get paid for it. I have found a few, but am wondering if any of you know of any great programs like this. I'm sure an application process is necessary to even get into these programs, but I am willing to apply wherever.
If any of you could be of any help, I would greatly appreciate it! Hope to hear from you soon and thanks so much for your time.

I may have very specific tastes, but 2012 was a pretty shitty year when it comes to transformers in my opinion.
Prime was a decent show, but wasn't too fond of the design choices (Anyone else think they have a similar aesthetics to that of Supreme cheetor?) and no toy felt like I really had to have it.
Kreo and Botshots had zero appeal to me, and new releases didn't really register on my radar.
TFCC had 2 solid releases in Runamuch and Runabout;
The rest of the TFCC toys like the botcon set well...how to put it...it felt like it held the same standard and quality as that of the TFCC website.
The FoC stuff was a swing and a miss as well, the toys was blasted for size and quality and much like Prime I didn't feel I wanted anything from the toyline.
Takara shone bright releasing some amazing encore toys and MPs, but I was a bit disapointed in the old repainted molds from other series that was released as United.
Third parties was what kept the flame burning with several amazing releases, like Ratchet, Ironhide, Photron...and of course the awesomeness that is Hercules topping the list of what now felt like a whole new level of 3p toys.
That was then...now, it's 2013 and I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
We have almost as many MP releases scheduled for this year as we've gotten the last 10
We are getting a real generations toyline again (by that I mean they look G1), with what many speculate will fill some of the gaps of our classics collections (trailbreaker/cutter, I've got a feeling you're in there)
The Encore series has picked up momentum, in a BIG way: Fortress Maximus - I am very optimistic about the future for encore toys. I don't like to speculate, but if the big guy sells well...man, we could be in for some amazing releases.
TFCC is stepping up to th...erm...ok, you need one exception to every rule I suppose.
Third party companies are raising the bar yet another notch by releasing 2 predakings, a Superion, a Menasor, several headmasters, Six shot, a tripple changer, topspin, twin twist, etc, etc, etc - the list just goes on and on and every new figure is looking even more amazing than the last.
With all of this pure awesomeness for someone of my tastes this is looking to be an absolutely amazing year - it has allready surpassed 2012 in my mind...and it's only January!!!

If anyone's offended by personal opinions on what little plastic robots another prefers, they probably shouldn't even be here in the first place.
And yes, 2013 is awesome so far. I can't wait for that next toyfair!

I have to agree here. 2013 is shaping up to be pretty dang spectacular.
2013 looks also to bring some very good Transformers comics, which I am pretty happy about.

I'm inclined to agree.
Prime was... a disappointment. I don't think any non-Cyberverse Prime figures I have so far will really have a spot in my collection, long-term. With a possible exception of TC Cliffjumper. Oh, and Vehicon. And a couple of the Microns (The Darkness Calibur, specifically).
Kreo has zero appeal to me, but Kreons do. The focus on them was nice. Bot Shots are kinda fun, too.
MP Prime and TC were amazing. I'm so happy about that.
FoC: Crap. The Combaticons were mediocre to awful, Jazz is the single most pointless figure I've ever seen, and Prime and Shockwave were made redundant by their own repaints (which didn't really come out in 2012).
Really, the shining line for me was GDO. All the Voyagers appealed to me, Powerdive was my TF of the year, the Deluxes were solid (... except for Swerve), the Scouts were great (though I would've swapped Sandstorm for Rumble, and probably Brawl for Frenzy), and the Legends were GREAT.
2013? Well, it begins with MP Soundwave. Therefore I am happy.
Looking for any version of Armada Deluxe Optimus Prime or WfC Prime, blue Armada Firebot and pretty much any BM Vehicon or Energon Terrorcon molds, or JustiToys Dinorobot or Junkion Blacksmith's Tactical Officer (or Hyper Mode). Also looking for Armada Tidal Wave's missiles. PM me if you have any spares of these please!

Unlike other years, we have a lot of cool stuff announced right off the bat. There's at least something to please any subgroup of fans this year, be it from Hasbro, Takara or 3P. They'll still complain and moan constantly, of course, but there's plenty of good things ahead.

The MP line is definitely worth getting excited about. However until I see pictures of this supposed return to realism-based vehicles for Generations I'm not getting excited. The 40 releases are quickly getting chisled down by FoC stuff I couldn't care less about for the most part. I'm definitely excited about upcoming third party items though.

A lot of people seems to have missed this article, and whilst it doesn't reveal much, it does seem promising.
A lot of people think that FoC are part of the generations for 2013, me I'm carefully optimistic about the prime in this pic heralding in the 40 generations toys that we were waiting for for 2013 (I mean, if FoC was counted as Generations in Hasbros eyes, then why not mention that Generations toys were going to be released in 2012, but that we had to wait until 2013?)
I guess we don't know for sure yet, but I am optimistic.

I guess that the announced FOC Springer and Astrotrain will be in the Generations line.
Hasbro said that they have something in stored for the IDW fans and with the Prime teaser picture looking like the IDW Prime design, the fact that the RID comic uses WFC/FOC character designs so the toys can double as the game and comic designs I think that chanses are Generations will mostly be earth + cybertornian vehicle forms.

BBTS catagorizes FoC figures as Generations, and it says Generations on the packaging. My guess is that FoC is part of Generations.
I just started collecting TF's last year, so to me 2012 was a pretty good year. I am excited about 2013 too, mainly because of the upcoming Beast Hunters and FoC releases.

Laskas dives deep into her subjects and emerges with character-driven narratives that are gripping, funny, and revelatory. In Hidden America, the stories are about the people who make our lives run every day-and yet we barely think if them.
It was a good, intelligent discussion. In addition, it was a thoughtful and welcoming group. One small criticism: the conversation went off-topic, but even that had me engaged. I look forward to future meetings.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
The Penguins Scenario
by Paul on 12/19/06 at 03:44 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
The scenario where the Penguins absolutely stay and survive in Pittsburgh requires that the Isle Of Capri — and not two other suitors — end up with the slots license.
If not, then all bets are off; and the Penguins could be on the move; and if they do go, they would most likely end up in that hockey hotbed of Kansas City, Missouri.
As a scenario, it looks startlingly similar to the flight of the Quebec Nordiques to Colorado following the 1994-95 season, when Marcel Aubut's ownership group couldn't figure out a way to get the government to pay for a new building in his city either. Denver had previously failed as an NHL town; the woeful Rockies left in the early 1980s to become the New Jersey Devils.

LoC incidents won`t affect peace process: Khurshid
Jaipur: Welcoming the "positive statements" coming from Pakistan for talks to de-escalate tensions along the border, External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid on Friday said the recent incidents won`t affect the peace process between the two countries.
"There is a positive content in the statement that has come from Pakistan foreign minister and high commissioner to India. It is welcome and it should be getting an appropriate response from our side," Khurshid told reporters here.
He said the matter will come up for discussion at the three-day Congress Chintan Shivir here.
"Peace process is not going to be undermined by these incidents. We hope that we will find a resolution to all these matters and we have treated the whole issue with great care and the closest attention possible," Khurshid said.
"Peace process is something in which we have invested a lot...and it was done because it is strategically and tactically important for India`s role in the world," he said.
On the talks offer by Pakistan, Khurshid said: "We are trying to work on it and the prime minister has been trying to ensure things remain in control and our concerns are addressed and situation doesn`t deteriorate. All these things have to be kept in mind."
Khurshid had on Thursday declined to commit himself to accepting Pakistan Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar`s offer for bilateral talks, saying that India cannot move forward for talks just on the basis of "one statement".
Ties between the two neighbours have been strained ever since the January 06 killing of a Pakistani soldier allegedly in firing by Indian troops.
Two days later, Pakistani soldiers brutally killed two Indian soldiers, including beheading one of them, near the LoC.

Pakistani artists in DubaiBe the first to comment 10 April 2012
A Piece of Land by Ehsan ul Haq
'I was trying to play with the whole power issue, and how to gain control and acquire land. The idea was to take over something that is considered so physical and so powerful. It's about how you can put one piece of land in one sack. It's a very comic remark of the whole power game. The white flag is to show you've claimed something by putting a flag on it.'

Back from commercial and Xavier Woods comes down to the ring. Kane comes out and walks down to the ring. He says he's sure Xavier is proud of his recent successes on RAW, but he's not referring to his exploits in the ring, but his agitation behind the scenes. Specifically, he was instrumental to putting the petition together that brought Big Show back to RAW. He assures him that the authority hasn't forgotten about it. The authority was waiting for the appropriate time to punish him, which is now. He introduces Xavier's opponent: Alexander Rusev.
Xavier Woods vs. Alexander Rusev (with Lana)
Woods immediately attacks Rusev with forearms. Rusev shoves him. Woods ducks a pair of clothesline attempts, and Rusev hits a Samoan drop. Rusev drops several elbows and headbutts. He clamps down on Woods's trapezius. Woods fights out via shots to the stomach. He attacks Rusev with several right hands to the head. Woods hits a flying forearm and a dropkick. He hits Rusev with the Honor Roll and goes for Lost in the Woods, but Rusev counters and collides with Woods against the ropes. Rusev locks in the camel clutch, and Woods taps.
Winner: Alexander Rusev
Then, a WWE.com interview from last week is shown where Kofi Kingston is asked for his thoughts on losing to Rusev last week. Kofi says he didn't feel like himself, and he underestimated his opponent. He doesn't want to make excuses, but he took his eyes off the ball and ended up in the camel clutch. He says he won't underestimate him again, and challenges Rusev to a rematch.
Tyson Kidd vs. Baron Corbin
Kidd locks in a side headlock. Corbin shoves him off and hits a shoulder tackle. Kidd kicks him in the stomach. Corbin lands a back elbow. Corbin punches Kidd in the head. Kidd lands a chop. Corbin tosses him into the corner and punches him repeatedly in the stomach. Corbin connects with another shoulder tackle. He locks in Kidd's head from behind. Kidd fights out. Corbin charges him in the corner, and Kidd drop toe holds him into the center turnbuckle. Kidd kicks Corbin from the apron. He kicks Corbin in the legs and then dropkicks him in the head. Kidd places Corbin's head on the bottom rope, and then leaps over the ropes and drops a leg on the back of his head. Kidd goes up top. He hits Corbin with a neckbreaker for the win.
Winner: Tyson Kidd
Back from commercial and Hunico and Camacho come down to the ring on lowrider bicycles with gold rims.
Tornado Tag Match
The Ascension vs. Hunico and Camacho

Product description
Practical Magic for Living the ?Life of Your Dreams"Active Dreaming is a way of being fully of this world while maintaining constant contact with another world, the world-behind-the-world, where the deeper logic and purpose of our lives are to be found. Active Dreaming offers three core areas of practice: talking and walking our dreams to bring energy and guidance from the dreamworld into everyday life; shamanic lucid dreaming; and conscious living. Active dreamers are choosers. They learn to recognize that whatever situation they are in, they always have choice. They choose not to buy into self-limiting beliefs or the limited models of reality suggested by others. Active dreamers learn to grow a dream of possibility, a dream strong enough to take them beyond fear and despair to a place of freedom and delight.

Eagles QB Vince Young Tweets There's Nothing to Worry About Over Hamstring Injury
Despite his impressive performance against the New York Jets, there was a slight bit of concern when Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Vince Young tweaked his hamstring while on the run late in the second quarter. While Young is scheduled for an MRI on Friday, the former first-round pick posted a message on his Twitter account after the game that makes it seem like the injury is only minor and he should be back in no time.
[blackbirdpie url="http://twitter.com/#!/VinceYoung/status/109484430929833984"]
The only way Young will receive a significant amount of playing time this upcoming season is if something were to happen with Michael Vick–which wouldn't come as a surprise. If the preseason is any indication of what to expect, Vick can expect to be running around on a consistent basis considering all of the problems with the Eagles' offensive line.
While Mike Kafka has looked impressive during the preseason, Young is a much better option to have as a backup–which is why there was a concern when he limped off the field against the Jets. The last thing Philadelphia wants to happen is see their No. 2 quarterback suffer a severe injury during the final preseason game and figure out a different backup plan if something were to happen to Vick.
Luckily, it doesn't seem like Young's injury is anything to be concerned about–so there's no reason for the Eagles or their fans to hit the panic button just yet.

'Old habits' return to early academies as A-level results slump
Research shows tail-off in performance at the first state schools granted new status
Oliver Wright
Oliver Wright is Whitehall Editor of The Independent.
Monday 26 August 2013
The first tranche of state schools to be granted independent academy status by the Government suffered a significant decline in their A-level performance last year, an analysis of results by The Independent suggests.
Both Labour and Conservative administrations have championed the academy system as a way of raising standards by giving schools freedom from local authority control and the backing of external sponsors.
However, a study of sixth-form results from 2009 to 2012 suggests that the early academic gains may be tailing off – with older academies performing significantly less well than newer ones and those which are still under council control.
Education experts said that the findings could be the result of "old habits reasserting themselves", as schools loose the impetus and novelty which came with a new start and often new buildings.
The analysis compared the results of 64 secondary academies created under Labour between 2002 and 2008 with those of all schools for the academic years 2009-2012.
Many of the schools in the first wave of academies were judged to be failing by the Government and were re-opened as academies to give them a "fresh start". Since the election, the Coalition has extended the programme to all schools with hundreds of new academies being created.
But the research shows that while the wave of academies continued to make gains between 2009 and 2011 last year, their average results tailed off.
Compared to all schools that put pupils in for Key Stage 5 examinations, results from early academies fell twice as far.
Overall, the average point scores of older academies fell from 676 to 661 while the average across all schools fell from 761 to just 758.
Professor Alan Smithers, director of the Centre for Education and Employment Research at the University of Buckingham, said one explanation was a natural trailing off of impetus.
"The first academies originally saw a pretty dramatic improvement in some pretty dire schools," he said.
"It could be [they have fallen recently] because there was more excitement at first because the academy is different and there is a lot of enthusiasm.
"Almost any education innovation produces an effect for a limited time, then, as it settles down, there is a chance that old habits reassert themselves. It could be it's taken to as long as 2012 for the old ways to start coming back."
He continued: "What we really need to know is whether this is a trend.
"Research like this poses interesting questions. It is important to get information like this because it is too easy for some people to just say academies work better than other schools – but that's often without evidence."
Stephen Twigg, Labour's education spokesman, accused David Cameron and the Education Secretary, Michael Gove, of "threatening school standards".
He said: "Under Labour, academies were driving up standards in some of the most-challenging schools in the country. Now, under this Government, underperformance and mismanagement are being spotted far too late."
But a spokesman for the Department for Education said the study's sample size was too small to assess the success of academies.
"Pupils in academies and free schools are more likely to achieve three As at A-level than pupils in local authority-maintained schools," he said.
"Furthermore, the proportion of pupils achieving five A* to C grades increased by 3 per cent in sponsored academies last year, compared to a rise of 0.6 per cent across all state-funded schools. This is giving more pupils the chance to continue studying post 16."
