The Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion in all fifty states, marks its thirtieth anniversary this month. But in many ways the issues dealt with in Roe have never been settled.
The thirty-year-old case is frequently in the news, dragged into the drama of a new political season. For instance, the New York Times and other papers recently reported on efforts within Congress to pass laws restricting abortion, and eventually aimed at overturning Roe.
According to Jack Balkin, the Knight Professor of Constitutional Law and the First Amendment at Yale Law School, "Roe is an opinion that people have been continually attempting to rewrite almost since the time it was handed down."
Yale Law School has organized a daylong series of events on January 31 to commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of the Roe decision. In one panel running in the afternoon, titled "Roe v. Wade: Thirty Years Later," Balkin and eight other prominent legal scholars will literally rewrite Roe, by presenting their own opinions on the case, written without reference to any materials or events after January 22, 1973. It will be a sort of mock Supreme Court.
A panel beginning at 10:30 a.m., organized by Yale Law Women, will look at some of the practical repercussions of the Roe decision in the current political climate. It is titled "Practitioners' Perspectives: Thirty Years Later, Where Are We Now?"
Although the panelists on Balkin's mock Supreme Court will not make reference to current events, he says that the exercise is still informed by an awareness of the consequences of Roe. "Thirty years later it becomes clear exactly where the controversies are likely to lie," he points out. "In 1973, it was not clear what abortion politics would be organized around. It was not clear what the key issues would be." For instance, no justice in 1973 could have foreseen the debates over partial birth abortion and parental notification laws that have become prominent lately. So, the rewritten opinions will say a lot about the present.
A part of the exercise, though, grapples with the nearly timeless principles of the Constitution. As Balkin puts it, "You ask, are the materials of constitutional law adequate to produce Roe v. Wade or any opinion that would deal with the abortion question?"
The Roe decision found that state laws criminalizing abortion were unconstitutional because they intruded on a woman's legitimate right to privacy in deciding whether or not to bear a child. "We, therefore, conclude that the right of personal privacy includes the abortion decision, but that this right is not unqualified, and must be considered against important state interests in regulation," wrote Justice Harry A. Blackmun in his majority opinion published by the court. The court devised a trimester system, with the mother's right to privacy dominant in the first third of her pregnancy, and the state's interest in protecting the mother and the potential life of the fetus becoming more important in the second and third trimesters.
Every aspect of the decision will be reconsidered by Balkin's mock court--to be discarded or reaffirmed. However, unlike the real Supreme Court, the panelists will not be required to reach a consensus. "We do not expect everyone to join one opinion--everyone is supposed to do their own thing," says Balkin.
Disagreement over Roe has persisted over the last thirty years. The decision has been attacked and defended in lawsuits, as well as state and federal legislation. This controversy has become a key point of division in American politics. "The structure of American political debate was organized around belief in or objection to Roe v. Wade," says Balkin. For example, "Robert Bork would be sitting on the Supreme Court if it weren't for Roe v. Wade, and all of the Supreme Court nominations that occurred after Bork were made in the shadow of the dispute over Roe v. Wade."
This is not the first time Balkin has attempted to "rewrite" history. Two years ago, he gathered colleagues to offer their legal opinions on the Brown v. Board of Education decision, which will have its fiftieth anniversary in 2004. What Brown v. Board of Education Should Have Said, published by NYU Press in 2001, served as the model for the Roe exercise; the opinions submitted for the January 31 event will be included in a volume called What Roe v. Wade Should Have Said, also to be published by NYU Press.
Balkin points to a key difference between Roe and Brown, which helps explain why Roe is still such a prominent issue: Nearly everyone in the United States believes that Brown was correctly decided. Balkin mentions the recent resignation of Trent Lott as majority leader of the Senate as evidence that the principle of desegregation behind Brown is widely accepted. "Nobody has resigned from the Senate because they are pro-life," Balkin says. "Roe is still very much controversial."
And Balkin foresees the case influencing American law and society for a long time to come. "If we were to do this exercise twenty years from now, on the 50th anniversary, we would find that the key issues would be still different," he says. "Twenty years from now there will be cloning, and there will be all sorts of gene therapies, and there will be all sorts of designer babies, and the Roe v. Wade decision and its implications for the right to choose will clearly have an effect of the constitutionality of prohibitions and regulations on all of those practices."
The scholars on Balkin's panel were selected because they are prominent in the debate over Roe--both in favor of the decision and against it. They also each bring unique ideas about the Constitution to the discussion, and Balkin says "it's interesting to see how they apply their theories of constitutional interpretation in the context of Roe."
The panelists, in addition to Balkin, will be: Akhil Reed Amar, Southmayd Professor of Law, Yale Law School; Anita Allen-Castellitto, professor of law and philosophy, University of Pennsylvania; Michael Stokes Paulsen, Briggs and Morgan Professor of Law, University of Minnesota; Jed Rubenfeld, Robert R. Slaughter Professor of Law, Yale Law School; Jeffrey Rosen, associate professor of law, George Washington University, legal affairs editor, The New Republic; Reva Siegel, Nicholas de Katzenbach Professor of Law, Yale Law School; Mark V. Tushnet, Carmack Waterhouse Professor of Constitutional Law, Georgetown University; Robin L. West, professor of law, Georgetown University.
The morning panel organized by the Yale Law Women will complement Balkin's academic exercise by assessing where reproductive rights stand today and discussing how to overcome challenges to these rights. The speakers on this panel are all Yale Law School graduates who have litigated reproductive rights cases and advocated for abortion rights on the national, state, and local levels. Priscilla Smith '91 is the director of the domestic program of the Center for Reproductive Law and Policy; Betsy Cavendish '88 is the legal director and general counsel of the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League; and Catherine Weiss '87 is the director of the ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project.
In all of the panels, there will be open discussion of this controversial case. Says Balkin, "I have a feeling that people will have strong views, and they will disagree with each other, and that will be to the good. I'm really looking forward to it."

With whale watching season just around the corner, Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto, is responding to increased client requests by introducing a $695 per person three-night package built around the whale watching and marine life opportunities available in the Sea of Cortez and on the Baja Peninsula.
When it's time for whale watching, guests will enjoy a scenic drive across Baja Peninsula to Magdalena Bay on the Pacific side where they will be led on a guided whale watching excursion by some of the region's most knowledgeable guides. Magdalena Bay is the perfect spot for whales, which travel nearly 4,000 miles on an arduous journey from Alaska to get to majestic Magdalena Bay. Some say that like guests who travel to the Islands of Loreto, Baja, Mexico, the whales come back each year for the food, the climate and simply the magic of the region.
Before heading out on the excursion, guests will enjoy a light breakfast, and afterwards they will be treated to a local lunch in Lopez Mateos, a tiny authentic fishing village. During the excursion, guests can expect to see grey whales while aboard a panga open-air boat. They will interact with the whales and learn about their lifestyle and habits while watching them jump, play and float near the boat. Normally the just born baby whales are more curious and playful, making the experience even more unforgettable.
"Whale watching excursions are one of our most popular activities at the resort," says Owen Perry, owner and president, Villa Group. "Guests love to touch and play with the grey whales while in the open-air panga boats surrounded by some of the most beautiful and clear water in the world. It's truly a transformative experience."
Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto's Whale Watching Package includes three nights for two adults in a deluxe ocean view room at the resort and three days of exciting adventures. The first day includes a guided tour of Loreto City and the Mission of "Nuestra Senora de Loreto." The second day is the trip to Magdalena Bay for a guided whale watching excursion. And the third day gives guests the thrill of a guided, open-air panga ride where they will see dolphins and all of the natural beauty that the region has to offer.
Whale watching excursions are offered at Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto through March 2013. The whales are often closest to shore and the most active in February. Complete and customizable packages including accommodations, whale tours, dolphin tours, taxes, gratuities and other features are available through the resort reservations department. And for visitors to the Islands of Loreto, Baja, Mexico, whale watching day tours are available for $120 USD per person.

The most significant corporate governance trend in the last five years has been the rise of the chief compliance officer. No longer shuffled off to the back benches of corporate governance, corporate executives are increasingly relying on chief compliance officers to promote corporate compliances and ethical conduct. A revision of corporate gestalt is at the heart of the surge in corporate compliance programs.
The evolution of the role of CCO has been the result of a variety of forces – increased government prosecutions, adoption of specific guidance in the United States Sentencing Guidelines, requirements imposed by Health and Human Services in corporate integrity agreements, and industry education efforts.
In this climate, many companies are focusing on elevating the CCO to design and implement proactive compliance program. This trend is a welcome development and one which all policymakers should embrace and seek to promote.
As prosecution risks have increased, so has the role of the CCO. Companies are fast recognizing the value of elevating a CCO, and protecting the CCO's independence through direct reporting authority to the board or a board committee.
Until the last few years, many companies added compliance oversight to the responsibility of their general counsels. A 2009 survey of companies found that nearly half of the responding companies followed this pattern.[1] More recently, companies have started to recognize that general counsels should not serve in this dual role of chief legal officer and chief compliance officer, given the different responsibilities and talents required by each position.[2] Many in the legal and governance communities have now endorsed the need for splitting the functions of chief legal officer and chief compliance officer.
Corporate compliance programs are continuing to evolve in response to emerging "best practices" and changes in the business environment. Back as far as 1998, the government encouraged companies to ensure the independence of chief compliance officers:
The OIG believes that there is some risk to establishing an independent compliance function if that function is subordina[te] to the hospital's [G]eneral [C]ounsel, or comptroller or similar hospital financial officer. Freestanding compliance functions help to ensure independent and objective legal reviews and financial analyses of the institution's compliance efforts and activities. By separating the compliance function from the key management positions of [G]eneral [C]ounsel or chief hospital financial officer (where the size and structure of the hospital make this a feasible option), a system of checks and balances is established to more effectively achieve the goals of the compliance program.[3]
In a similar vein, in a September 5, 2003, letter to Tenet Healthcare Corporation, United States Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA) observed:
Apparently, neither Tenet nor (its General Counsel) saw any conflict in her wearing two hats as Tenet's General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer . . . . It doesn't take a pig farmer from Iowa to smell the stench of conflict in that arrangement.[4]
The United States Sentencing Commission set in motion strong incentives for a company to earn credit for an "effective" corporate compliance program by implementing the organizational sentencing guidelines, and by adopting recent amendments to the guidelines in 2010 which specifically required companies to establish a senior level officer responsible for corporate compliance with direct reporting authority to the board.
Specific individual(s) within the organization shall be delegated day-to-day operational responsibility for the compliance and ethics program. Individual(s) with operational responsibility shall report periodically to high-level personnel and, as appropriate, to the governing authority, or an appropriate subgroup of the governing authority, on the effectiveness of the compliance and ethics program. To carry out such operational responsibility, such individual(s) shall be given adequate resources, appropriate authority, and direct access to the governing authority or an appropriate subgroup of the governing authority.[5]
In addition to the Sentencing Commission's 2010 amendments to the guidelines, and in response to specific scandals and prosecutions in the healthcare industry, prosecutors demanded that companies separate the chief compliance functions from the chief legal officer.[6]
Companies now are embracing the idea of a C-Suite level chief compliance officer, and empowering that officer with adequate resources and real autonomy. Recent surveys of corporate compliance professionals show that companies are spending more money on their compliance programs.[7]
Among the many other reasons supporting the elevated CCO, is the likelihood that a C-Suite level officer can more effectively pursue a compliance agenda, and identify and communicate at the C-Suite level. For example, recently in response to governance failures and legal violations, HSBC and J.P Morgan re-energized their compliance programs by empowering independent CCOs with new reporting authorities and positioning.[8] These innovative solutions to real governance problems reflect a growing trend across many industry sectors: namely, to empower a chief compliance officer as a check and balance against the potential for future corporate misconduct.
Separation of the legal and compliance functions ensures independent and objective legal reviews and promotes an internal system of checks and balances. What is critical is that the two roles have to coordinate and work well together. There is no question that the two roles are completely unique and two different people need to carry out their respective responsibilities.
Change in the compliance arena is having a ripple effect on corporate board governance and oversight of compliance programs. Change is occurring and companies are getting the message by creating compliance committees at the board level, and by empowering an independent chief compliance officer who reports directly to the CEO and/or the compliance committee.
The CCO's daily reporting relationship is not as important so long as one prerequisite is met – the CCO has to sit in the C-Suite. This is an important requirement and demonstrates the company's commitment to compliance and ethics. If you ask CCOs what they want (beyond adequate resources), the CCO will invariably reply – senior management support and visibility. Support and visibility give the CCO the credibility they need to carry out their job, to walk into a room and know that the CEO backs the CCO and that the CCO has influence within the organization, meaning that the CCO is viewed as a valuable member of the business team.

There are over 30,000 parking spaces located within 5 blocks of Bank of America Stadium available on game day. To see a map of parking locations and prices in the area, please click on the parking button below for the Belk Bowl.
Parking for those with disabilities:
Bank of America Stadium does not have reserved handicap parking on stadium grounds, but it has a limited number of spaces allocated for accessible parking in Lot 1, also known as the Mint Street Parking Facility, located at the corner of Mint and Graham streets and is directly across from the stadium's North Gate. Parking for fans with disabilities is available on a first-come, first-served basis for vehicles displaying a handicap placard. This location offers convenience and ease, offering three entrances and exits. Grilling and open flames are prohibited in this parking lot. Click here for Parking Pass Order Form.
Drop-Off Zone for Fans with Disabilities
For those with disabilities desiring a drop off point close to the stadium, there will be a lane in west bound Morehead Street as it approaches Mint Street that will be open to vehicles with handicap placards. It will be marked by orange cones. There is a curb cut at the corner and two driveway cuts along Morehead Street for wheelchair access. A map showing the drop off location is below.
To get to the stadium from the drop off simply go to the corner of Mint Street and Morehead Street. Proceed to the right on Mint Street and go under the highway overpass for I-277. The stadium grounds will be on your left after you pass under the overpass. Your ticket will indicate the gate closest to your seat, but you may enter at any gate.
Please keep this drop off location in mind as you purchase parking. Post game traffic can be very heavy and if the driver is parked in an area to the north of the stadium accessing the handicap lane for pick up can be very time consuming.

From The Economist:
Ryan Avent is wowed:
More person years have been lived in the first decade of the current century than in all of the 17th century. And nearly 80% of the economic output of the last millenium has been produced in just the last 110 years. Everyone likes to think that they live in historical times. As it so happens, we do.

Canadian scientists, and climatologists in particular, are probably among the most depressed this morning following Tuesday's federal election, in which the semi-governing Conservative Party was sort-of re-elected to another parliamentary minority.
In Canada, minority governments don't command enough seats to ensure passage of legislation, but for some reason no one seems to think that means a coalition is required. None of the opposition parties will entertain the notion of a governing coalition, so in all likelihood nothing in the way of consequential legislation will be passed for the next few years.
That's about the best spin that the 120 scientists and 230 economists who recently signed public letters calling on Canadians to reject the Conservative Party's record on science and climate policy can hope for. More realistic interpretations involve the unfortunate truth that Canadians have effectively rejected strong action on the climate front by reinstalling, with a slightly larger contingent of MPs, the party with the least progressive environmental policies.
The Conservatives won only 37% of the vote (which is even smaller than it looks, given that only 59% of eligible voters turned out). The Liberals, who pushed a "Green Shift" plan that would hike taxes on bad things like fossil-fuels and reduce taxes elsewhere, got only 26%, the lowest in the party's history. Their leader, Stephane Dion, is almost certain to be dumped at the first opportunity. Globe and Mail columnist Gary Mason began his post-mortem of the election with these depressing words: "It may be some time before we again see a political leader in Canada brave enough to build a campaign platform around saving the environment."
Quebec Premier Jean Charest is also said to be mulling an election call, and he too must be thinking just how hard he wants to push the environment at a time when people seem to be thinking about anything but.
To be fair, many Canadians did vote for the Liberals and the New Democratic Party, both of which consider climate change and reducing greenhouse-gas emissions important. Still, the environment was not a winning issue on the campaign trail for any party even before all hell broke loose on Wall Street.
What about the Greens? Didn't they attract a record level of support (6.8%)? Yes, but even as its leader showed in national televised debates that she has a better grasp of the issues than the big boys, her party still attracts a fair number of candidates whose day jobs include homeopath and other pseudo-scientific pursuits.
It's sad. In a country that should be leading the charge toward clean energy thanks to its enormous natural and renewable resources, educated workforce and relatively healthy economy (the most stable banking system in the world, by some accounts), we have another government that has consistently shown a preference for fossil fuels over renewables. The Conservatives' political roots are in Alberta, where the development of the tar sands guarantee that Canada will never meet any emissions-reduction goals, no matter how modest, and the party shows no signs are growing beyond that narrow view.
Oh well, at least, we can look forward to next month's U.S. elections. Here's Gary Mason again:
Despite last night's result, I still think Mr. Dion's desire to build an economy for the 21st century centred on energy independence and becoming a leader in green technology is precisely what Canada needs. Until the recent financial crisis, it's something U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama talked about often on the campaign trail.
He understands that rebuilding the U.S. economy around clean, renewable energy sources, a strategy that must extend to the automobile industry, will help create jobs and allow Americans to be free of the tyranny of Middle Eastern oil prices. The U.S. is a nation of innovators and it will innovate its way to the forefront of green technological advances, mark my words.
And once again, cautious Canada will be playing catch-up.

Ask TV Squad: Where has Men In Trees gone?
Sorry to be the bearer of bad somewhat bad news Elizabeth (and all other Men In Trees fans who have emailed us about the show) but the series will not return until next Fall.
Not even two weeks after ABC announced that Men In Trees would be coming back for a second season and that the rest of Season 1 would resume on April 12, the network announced that the five remaining Season 1 episodes would not air this spring after all. ABC decided to air those five episodes next year along with the Season 2 episodes.
In other programming news (to answer questions we often get asked), the Kyle XY's Season 2 premiere will air on June 11 on ABC Family, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia will return on June 28 in September on FX, and The 4400 comes back on USA Networks on June 17.

MIAMI, July 9, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Urologyweb.com, a leading website from Dr. Bert Vorstman, has recently posted a new article outlining which prostate cancers really need treatment.
"Most prostate cancers diagnosed are classed as the low or favorable-risk Gleason 6 (3+3) prostate cancer and the majority of these cancers behave like insignificant pseudo cancers, do not progress and do not need any treatment whether through focal therapy or whole gland treatment.
"These cancers should simply be monitored through active surveillance", said Dr Vorstman, a Coral Springs Florida urologistwith over 30 years of experience in managing localized prostate cancer. In addition, Dr Vorstman warned that, "For many men, their road to debilitation and zero benefits began with the highly unreliable PSA prostate cancer screening blood test followed by the risky and painful office prostate biopsy. The finding of some insignificant prostate cancer was then license for misinformation, misrepresentation and falsehoods culminating in mismanagement and mistreatment. In fact, the risk of Gleason 6 (3+3) treatment harm is greater than the risk of the untreated insignificant prostate cancer." Dr Vorstman added, "Particularly disturbing is the gross overtreatment of most of these Gleason 6 (3+3) prostate cancers with the toxic, irreversible radical surgery/robotic prostatectomy for which there is no evidence based medicine support. This unproven, emasculating radical surgery/robotic prostatectomy for insignificant Gleason 6 (3+3) cancers represents "modern day" human experimentation.
"At 20 years, these patients, or "sufferers" are survivors of their treatment, not survivors of their insignificant cancer." Furthermore said Dr

When Fashcin blogger, Cindy Alda, spied a gradient polka-dot manicure on Instagram, she decided she was up for the challenge of making it her own. Here's how she interpreted the look.
What you need:
Base coat. Try: L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche Nail in One Stop Base.
White nail polish. Try: Essie Nail Polish in Blanc.
Top coat. Try: Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat.
Pinkish-coral nail polish. Try: Essie Nail Color in Carousel Coral.
Fuchsia nail polish. Try: Essie Nail Color in Fiesta.
Burgundy nail polish. Try: Essie Nail Polish in Fishnet Stockings.
Aluminum foil.
Three different sized nail art dotting tools. Try: Pro Nail Art Nail Art Dotting Tool Set of 5.
How to get it:
Step 1: Apply the base coat and follow that with two coats of the white nail polish.
Step 2: Apply a layer of the top coat and wait 10 minutes.
Step 3: Drip a generous amount of each colored polish onto a piece of aluminum foil.
Step 4: Using the smallest dotting tool, pick up the pinkish-coral polish and create three rows of dots starting at the base of each nail. The dots closest to your cuticle should be the smallest. Tip: "Alternating the size of the dots helps you achieve more of a gradient effect," Alda says.
Step 5: Using the medium-sized dotting tool, apply two rows of fuchsia polish.
Step 6: Complete the ombré effect by using your largest dotting tool to create two rows of burgundy dots.
Step 7: Let the dots dry for about 10 minutes before applying your top coat.
Will you try this polka-dot manicure?

|Eagles sweep twin-bill with Bobcats
|Written by Staff Reports
|Tuesday, 21 February 2012 08:55
Mary Shealy threw a no-hitter in game two of a non-conference doubleheader, and the Carson-Newman College softball team rallied for a 2-1 win in the opener en route to a sweep of Lees-McRae College on
Monday afternoon. Carson-Newman (10-4) came back from a 1-0 deficit with two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to take game one by a score of 2-1, as the Eagles shut out Lees-McRae (4-5) in the night cap by a tally of 8-0 in five innings. The Eagles tallied 16 base hits in the twin-bill, pushing across 10 runs while holding the Bobcats to six hits and one run.

Cranleigh House
is going through a spiritual transition, as ever! we are in the
process of building our new website, watch this space.....
Please do sign up to receive our newsletter
We aim to empower you to enjoy better health & to open up to a new range of possibilities for a happier more fulfilling & dynamic life but we will no longer be running our Naturopathic Retreats.
We bring together all the elements to create a personal holiday for you. For more details of our year round/ongoing Bed & Breakfast with 'Add Ons' programme including yoga, walking & other elements please see our diary of activities page.
We would like to welcome you to our friendly, B&B in the heart of Combe Martin, close to Ilfracombe, on the North Devon Coast. We offer retreats, Yoga classes, natural and complementary therapies, healing & other spiritual activities. We are five minutes walk from the sea, beautiful coastal walks, Exmoor National Park and village shops.
This is the ideal environment for rejuvenating yourself with natural therapies and home cooked breakfasts, walking & relaxing on the beach in the summer or in front of the fire in the winter. Enjoy our Yoga Classes (private or group) or our other healthy and spiritual courses ranging from Karma Yoga, to help the world or Women's Empowerment Weekends. We run these courses when we have a group of six people who would like to attend.
This is a comfortable house where you can be away from the world for a few days or a couple of weeks. We only take a small number of guests. We provide vegetarian food, some organic & some home grown. We cater for many special diets, that are available by request.
We are a grassroots school of healing & yoga, giving people the tools to keep themselves, their families and friends healthy, fit, balanced & empowered.
Cranleigh House Healing and Yoga School came into being when Katherine Armitage MLCHom moved her Homeopathic Practice from Health Foods, Fulham, London. She had worked in the shop as a health advisor to customers for 10 years.
In 2008 she moved to Cranleigh House, Combe Martin on the North Devon coast. At the time she was teaching homeopathy for the Lakeland College of Homeopathy in London, and students came for homeopathic clinical training to Devon.
Not finding that Homeopathy had all the answers for clients that she was working with, she did further studies in cleansing and naturopathic techniques with Peter Hinde www.bodyelectronics.co.uk. The fusion of Homeopathy, Flower Essences, Naturopathic techniques and Yoga makes a very powerful combination system of healing which she is passionate to share with as many people as possible.
Katherine found that she was often saying the same thing to clients and discovered that the best way to educate people in homeopathic principles was to run courses, giving the basic information on homeopathy to groups of clients, and interested people, so that they could inform themselves about how this wonderful system of healing works without paying for lots of individual consultations.
Then she started to hold homeopathy support or 'apprentice' style groups to consolidate the learning. Everyone in these groups benefits from the cases and experiences of everyone else. This interactive style of studying is very empowering as the members of the group reinforce and help each other. It is particularly important in the case of understanding homeopathy, with its principles which are based in the space age science of the 'New Physics', which is a rather different way of thinking, that can take a while to get used to. Many people do not know the difference between homeopathy, (which uses potentised remedies from plant, mineral and animal sources), aromatherapy, ( which uses essential oils of plant origin) and reflexology ( which uses application of pressure to feet & hands with specific thumb, finger & hand techniques).
Katherine teaches in such a way as to empower individuals, families and friends to help themselves and take responsibility for their own healing.
Katherine enjoys sharing and teaching 'self-care' healing tools so that everyone can feel inspired to enjoy a better level of health and wellness and overcome mild and debilitating illness which seems to affect so many people in this age. Our sister company ''Mother Earth's Minerals' was also set up to help people to improve their health by remineralising their soil & growing fully vibrant fruit & vegetables.
Katherine trained in Sivananda Yoga in 2003 with the Sivananda Yoga organisation www.sivananda.co.uk. Katherine & Stewart completed their training as Kundalini Yoga teachers in 2013 with www.anahata.org.
Katherine & Stewart are passionate about Yoga, and practicing regularly, to give ourselves the strength of body, mind and spirit to help us in what the Yogis call 'Kali Yuga', 'The Age of Destruction'. We are being asked to let go of much dross, in this age, so that we can be perfect channels for Divine Light to flow through us! Wahe Guru! As the Kundalini Yogis say, 'How great is the light in the darkness!'
Holdstone Down, Exmoor, an area of outstanding natural beauty, is only a stone's throw away.
Helping solve First world problems
Please contact us if you would like to join our 'Prayer partners network' inspired by the Magnificent Yogi Master George King, who practiced Yoga for many hours a day & developed a technique of dynamic prayer which invokes energy that changes world energy for the better & saves lives.
Dynamic Prayer is a way of directing energy from one point, the person who is praying, to their chosen destination. It is a form of positive energy manipulation and everyone can do it! It is like giving Reiki out to the world. Sounds a bit religious? well it is scientific as well. True religion is scientific. If a butterfly flaps its wings in Australia it changes the wind currents in the UK, so imagine how much positive energy can be created by a few people sending out 'high vibes' from our local charged mountain 'Holdstone Down'! Don't believe us? Come & have a go and feel the energy for yourselves!
You've heard of sponsoring a child or an animal, NOW you can sponsor someone to pray for world peace & healing! If you can't make it down to Holdstone Down yourself, you can pay for someone else to stay with us for B&B plus one of our 'Spiritual Add Ons' enabling them to visit a Holy Mountain to send out energy & create some positive Karma for the world on your behalf. Please call us for details 07985928461. Let's build up 'Karmic Kredit' to offset the spiritual energy crisis in our world.
Contact: email@example.com or call us on 01271889325
General information about Cranleigh House & what we do.:
Katherine bought this house as it is close to the natural power centre Holdstone Down on Exmoor and my aim is to facilitate as many people, to act as channels, to send out love energy, from the top of this mountain, to our suffering world as possible. The pile of stones, (cairn) on the top is now known locally as 'The Jesus Rocks', due to the history of the Master Jesus being seen on Holdstone Down and His association with other places in the west country for example Sister's Fountain on Countisbury Hill, Glastonbury & St Just in Roseland, Cornwall.
Now visitors to Holdstone Down bring a rock to add to the growing pile, which luckily, gives shelter to people who come to pray on the top!

The History of Cranleigh House & The Magdala Centre
Cranleigh House was owned and run as a healing centre and metaphysical study centre in the early 1960's by Mary King, mother of my Spiritual Guru the English Self-Realised Master of YOGA George King. He advocated 'Karma Yoga' the Yoga of Service to Humanity and he used Holdstone Down extensively for many Missions dedicated to service to the world. You can read more about him on www.aetherius.org . I am a devotee of George King and the Cosmic Masters/Angels from other planets that he worked with.
He devised a Mission to help humanity that he called, 'Operation Prayer Power.' This Mission combines the traditional yogas of Bhakti & Karma Yoga to invoke energy that can be stored in a 'Spiritual Energy Battery' or sent out using a device also invented by George King called a 'Spiritual Energy Radiator' to create positive vibes where they are most needed. For example they can be sent to war zones, peace talks or areas where natural disaster has struck. Anyone can join in this Mission once they have learnt the techniques that are used. Prayer Power is performed on Holdstone Down on July 23rd, or the Saturday following, every year.
Mary King opened Cranleigh House on July 3rd 1960 on a directive from The Master Jesus. In 'The Magdala Centre' booklet, which dates from that time. it is stated 'The work of the Centre is to give free training to any person seriously desiring to learn the great Cosmic Truths; who will, after training, teach others. Also for Spiritual Healing to all who may come to it for help'. On page nine of the booklet it says, 'Many pilgrimages have been made to Holdstone Down and the pilgrims have visited 'The Magdala Centre' and have gained in Knowledge and Wisdom through the many manifestations which have been experienced there.' We aim to carry on the traditions started here by Mary King and supported by her son Dr George King, Founder President of the Aetherius Society.
Following in the footsteps of Mary King we provide a venue for healing, yoga classes & workshops and a B&B/retreat for those who need to retire from the world, for a short time, to recover their strength and health or to have a holiday in beautiful surroundings, benefiting from good vegetarian, vegan or raw food. Our maximum stay is 3 weeks. You can attend retreats that will teach you how to 'cleanse and purify' yourself, according to the principles of the great yogis & naturopaths. You can also benefit from different alternative health advice and treatments from Homeopathy to Massage or Reflexology, from us or local practitioners .

Australians out of International Crown
BY Bruce Young | LPGA Tour | 2014 International Crown | Day Three | 27 Jul 2014
Australia has been bundled out of the inaugural International Crown team's event tournament in Owing Mills in Maryland, the team recording only one win and one halved match in their six four-ball encounters in their pool matches.
Following their impressive start on Thursday when Karrie Webb and Minjee Lee combined beautifully to defeat Na Yeon Choi and I.K. Kim the Australians really struggled.
Perhaps those struggles were no better highlighted than when Lindsey Wright and Katherine Kirk folded after leading their match against the Ai Miyazato and Sakura Yokomine 6 up through eleven holes only to lose six of the remaining seven holes and were only able to salvage a halved match and one point.
The Australian combinations of Webb and Lee and Wright and Kirk comprehensively lost both of their matches against Sweden today and are out of the contest.
Australia has finished last in their pool and will not advance to the finals on Sunday.
In an upset for tournament organisers hoping to leverage the success of American players on the LPGA Tour this season into success for the inaugural staging of this event, the USA side was eliminated by Korea in a playoff between the two third teams in Pools A & B and will not participate in the final's day's play.
So Sunday's play will involve Thailand, Spain, Japan, Sweden and Korea. All twenty players involved in singles match-ups.
Points earned over the opening three days carry over to Sunday's final round. Each country will then play one singles match against each of the other four countries, the team with the most points securing the title.

Chris Siale will also make his Reds debut against the Blues alongside Turinui at inside centre.
Queensland captain John Roe has been given another week to recover from a shoulder reconstruction, meaning Sam Cordingley will lead the side.
Full-back Chris Latham, fly-half Berrick Barnes, flanker Hugh McMeniman, prop Greg Holmes and hookers Stephen Moore and Sean Hardman will also feature.
Coach Phil Mooney has included three Academy players in his squad - prop Dayna Edwards, backrower Poutasi Luafutu and scrum-half Ben Lucas - after solid performances in the opening trial match against the Waratahs.
"These three guys took their opportunity and hopefully will get another chance on Thursday to demonstrate to the coaching staff that they belong at this level," Mooney said.
"It all contributes to the increased competition for places at the Reds this year, something we haven't always enjoyed in recent seasons."

33 of 68 submitted draft proposals for the National Research Programme "Resource Wood" (NRP 66) have been shortlisted. Full proposals need to be submitted by 31 August 2011.
The project selection process of NRP 66 has reached the next level. Out of 68 submitted draft proposals, the members of the Steering Committee have selected 33 projects. The responsible applicants of these projects have been invited to submit a full proposal.The number of funded projects will, however, be substantially lower: the 33 shortlisted projects are requesting a total of 14.7 million Swiss francs but only 9 million Swiss francs have been earmarked for project funding during the first three years of NRP 66.
The Steering Committee of NRP 66 and international experts will be assessing the proposals submitted by the end of August. After a November colloquium, during which recommendations will be presented, the Steering Committee will select projects which it will recommend for approval/rejection by the National Research Council of the Swiss National Science Foundation. The final decisions are expected in December 2011. Research should get underway in early 2012.

La Trinidad segregation pushed-A A +A
Tuesday, July 29, 2014
LA TRINIDAD, Benguet -- Mayor Edna Tabanda has required all to segregate their trash.
In an Executive Order, Tabanda mandated all commercial and industrial establishments, residences, government and private offices, agricultural farms, schools, public and private markets, government and private health facilities and clinics, churches and other similar entities and establishments generating waste to segregate at source and to manage the proper disposal of their respective waste.
"Due to rapid urbanization and population growth, the municipality of La Trinidad is presently beset with garbage problems compounded by inadequate number of garbage trucks and manpower, lack of appropriate technology, discipline, public consciousness and participation and failure of people to practice solid waste management in the said place. This Law encourages greater private sector participation in solid waste management system of segregation at source, reuse, reduce and recycle and compost waste," Tabanda said in her order.
Garbage woes here has gone worse pushing the municipality to haul their garbage out of town with the contractor hauling a total of 15 rounds since June pegged at P 1,650 per ton of trash.
The Alno dumpsite has exceeded its capacity and is danger of collapsing, fearing a repeat of the Baguio trash slide will happen based on a report by municipal Engineering office.
The capacity of the Alno site is an actual 10,000 tons of waste but is now over 35,000 tons its limit, teetering dangerously to inducing hairline cracks and the worst case scenario; a trash slide.
An estimated 1,600 tons of garbage still needs to be hauled out of the Alno dump which is riddled with cracks and in need of repairs.
In 1998, a comprehensive solid waste management policy of the municipality was crafted and applied to all residential houses, commercial establishments, such as hotels, restaurants, cinema houses, department stores, groceries, institutions like schools, churches, public and private offices; industrial establishments like factories, plants, auto repair shops and other establishments of any kind; and agricultural areas but was not fully enacted to this day.
"In order to address these concerns and accomplish the goals of a clean, healthy and balanced ecology in La Trinidad, there is a need for instituting measures relative to the solid waste management program," Tabanda added.
The Valley is producing 93 tons of waste a day from households as well as the vegetable trading post.
The Executive Order will punish violators with penalties; for commercial and industrial establishments, the first offense for groceries and minimarts is a fine of P600; supermarts and malls a fine of P1000; hotels and inns a fine of P1000; restaurants and eateries P300 for the second offense a fine of P1,500 and for the third offense a maximum fine off P2,500 and a written reprimand and warning from the municipal mayor.
For residential establishments, the first offense fine is pegged at P200 and a written reprimand and warning from the Municipal Mayor; second offense a fine of P500 per residential building owner; third offense a maximum fine of P2,500 or imprisonment of five days to one month or both at the discretion of the court.
For litter bugs, the first offense will merit a reprimand and fine of P50 second offense a fine of P100; third offense a fine of P300 or imprisonment of three days or both at the discretion of the court.
For the Agricultural sector the first offense is pegged at a fine of P500 and a written reprimand; second offense a fine of P1,000; third offense a fine of P2,000 or imprisonment of five days to one month or both at the discretion of the court.

SARA E. COSGROVE, MD, MS, FIDSA, FSHEA, an international leader in antimicrobial stewardship, is one of two recipients of IDSA's 2014 Oswald Avery Award for Early Achievement. This honor recognizes members or fellows of IDSA age 45 or younger who have demonstrated outstanding achievements in an area of infectious diseases. Dr. Cosgrove is an associate professor of medicine in the Division of Infectious Diseases at the John Hopkins University School of Medicine and in the Department of Epidemiology at the John Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health. She is the director of the Antimicrobial Stewardship Program at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, a program she has played a key role in developing since 2003, and also an associate hospital epidemiologist. The antimicrobial stewardship program provides oversight of the hospital's antibiotic approval system, including supervision of pharmacists and infectious diseases fellows regarding antimicrobial selection and dosing. An accomplished investigator, Dr. Cosgrove's early work with collaborators investigating Staphylococcus aureus infections led to seminal, widely cited articles that have helped set the standard of care and increased the urgency for prevention and treatment of these infections. Her publication demonstrating the nephrotoxicity of low-dose gentamicin for the treatment of S. aureus bacteremia received the Emanuel Wolinsky Award for the most outstanding clinical study published in Clinical Infectious Diseases in 2009. As chair of the Gram positive subcommittee of the new National Institutes of Health Antibacterial Resistance Leadership Group (ARLG), she continues her involvement in investigations to maximize prevention and treatment strategies for resistant Gram positive organisms; she is also a member of the steering committee and the mentoring committee for the ARLG. Her contributions have moved the field of antimicrobial stewardship forward in a unique way by examining not only the impact of stewardship but also how these programs can be implemented to achieve lasting, evidence-based prescribing. Dr. Cosgrove's study of the impact of antimicrobial stewardship across five academic medical centers, published in 2012 in Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology, was the first multi-center study of its kind and is a model for other researchers. She is the author of over 85 peer-reviewed articles, nearly all of them focused on antibiotic resistance, stewardship, or hospital epidemiology and infection control.Attesting to the high regard with which she is viewed by her peers; Dr. Cosgrove has been invited to speak at multiple plenary sessions, symposia, and meet-the-professor seminars at the leading scientific meetings in the field. She has shared her expertise with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, and other organizations as a member of numerous working groups and committees. Dr. Cosgrove served on the editorial board of Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology and was named assistant deputy editor of Clinical Infectious Diseases in 2012. She also edits the Johns Hopkins Hospital Antibiotic Guidelines, published annually and used by Hopkins trainees and other practitioners to stay current on antibiotic use. A former member of the SHEA Board of Trustees, Dr. Cosgrove has served on multiple SHEA and IDSA committees related to antimicrobial stewardship, guidelines, and other topics. After earning a medical degree from Baylor College of Medicine in 1995, Dr. Cosgrove completed internship and residency at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. She completed an infectious diseases fellowship at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston and earned a Master of Science degree from the Harvard School of Public Health in 2001 before returning to Johns Hopkins.A sought after mentor and teacher of infectious diseases and internal medicine, Dr. Cosgrove was associate program director of the Infectious Diseases Fellowship Program at Johns Hopkins for two years. Several fellows she has mentored have gone on to careers focused on antimicrobial resistance and stewardship. In addition to her many other responsibilities, Dr. Cosgrove attends on the infectious diseases general consult service at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. In recognition of her contributions, which have advanced the field of antimicrobial stewardship, aided efforts to address antimicrobial resistance, and improved patient care, IDSA is proud to honor Dr. Cosgrove with a 2014 Oswald Avery Award for Early Achievement.ROCHELLE P. WALENSKY, MD, MPH, FIDSA, whose work has had a significant impact on national and global policies for HIV screening and treatment, is one of two recipients of IDSA's 2014 Oswald Avery Award for Early Achievement. Dr. Walensky's research has changed HIV-related policy, ultimately extending resources to individuals most in need. Published in the New England Journal of Medicine, her 2005 study of the cost-effectiveness of widespread HIV testing demonstrated that routine screening in the general U.S. population was both cost-effective and clinically justified. These findings were instrumental in the decision by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to recommend routine HIV testing for everyone between the ages of 13 and 65. Her 2006 paper in The Journal of Infectious Diseases was the first to clearly demonstrate the extraordinary survival benefit of combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) in individuals infected with HIV, critical to expanding treatment resources in the U.S.Extending this work globally, Dr. Walensky's international research collaborations addressed whether these same benefits could be realized in the developing world. Her findings have influenced major policy decisions regarding the timing of ART initiation in these countries. In South Africa, her analysis showing a clear benefit from starting ART earlier than recommended at the time led, in part, to a change in international HIV treatment guidelines to call for earlier HIV treatment in resource-limited settings. The comprehensive modeling tool that Dr. Walensky—a professor of medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Harvard Medical School—and her colleagues have developed is now used globally in HIV-related decision analysis and to study the impact and costs of HIV interventions. Her research has underscored the importance of maintaining and expanding U.S. investments in HIV research, the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, and related efforts to combat HIV domestically and around the world.Dr. Walensky has been a member of the World Health Organization's ART Guidelines Committee, is a member of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Panel on ART Guidelines, and is currently chair of the National Institutes of Health Office of AIDS Research Advisory Council. She is co-director of the MGH Medical Practice Evaluation Center and associate director of the Harvard Center for AIDS Research Program in Epidemiology and Outcomes. Dr. Walensky makes time to focus on patient care as well, attending on the inpatient ID service at both MGH and Brigham and Women's Hospital, where she is also on staff.Dr. Walensky has received several honors for her work, including the 2008 HIV Medicine Association (HIVMA) HIV Research Award. In addition, she has been recognized as an effective teacher and mentor with a strong commitment to gender and racial diversity. She is an active member of the Office of Women's Careers at Massachusetts General Hospital and serves on several committees and task forces devoted to diversity and the status of women at Harvard Medical School.Dr. Walensky earned a medical degree from the John Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1995. She trained in internal medicine at Johns Hopkins Hospital from 1995 to 1998 and in infectious disease at the Brigham and Women's Hospital/Massachusetts General Hospital combined fellowship program from 1998 to 2001 before joining Harvard Medical School. She also earned a master of public health degree from the Harvard School of Public Health in 2001.For her tremendous impact on global health policy and significant contributions to HIV research, which have benefited the lives of many around the world, IDSA is proud to honor Dr. Walensky with a 2014 Oswald Avery Award for Early Achievement.

Antigua and Barbuda[1] [print]
Last edited: May 2005
Summary and Analysis
In 2003, Antigua and Barbuda passed the Childcare and Protection Act, which defined abuse and neglect, established the Childcare and Protection Agency, and set forth procedures for investigation of abuse and neglect allegations and remedial measures including removal and placement of a child.
The Childcare and Protection Act and the Adoption Act[2] provide that the child's wishes shall be taken into consideration, with due consideration to the child's age and level of understanding. However, there is no explicit provision describing how the child shall participate or express her views. There is no provision for the appointment of an attorney for the child in any child protection proceedings, but the Adoption Act mandates the appointment of a guardian ad litem in adoption proceedings.[3]
We were unable to locate any local practitioners to confirm our research or give us information about how child protection operates in practice. Antigua and Barbuda acknowledged in its Initial Report under the Convention on the Rights of the Child that children's views may not be respected in the Caribbean culture, but that there is growing awareness of children's rights.[4]
Sources of Law (In Order of Authority)
§25(1) Welfare of the Child Paramount
In determining any matter relating to (a) the upbringing of a child; or (b) the administration of a child's property or income, the person who has authority to determine the matter shall ensure that the welfare of the child is paramount.
§26 Criteria for Decisions
In determining any question relating to the circumstances provided for in section 25, the person who has authority to determine the question shall have regard in particular to (a) the ascertainable wishes and feelings of the child concerned, in the light of the child's age and capacity to understand the matter to be determined . . . .
[1] This page is also available as a .pdf Document, and Word Document.
[2] Adoption of Children Act §4 (1944) (as codified in1992) (The Court before making an adoption order shall be satisfied - . . . (b) that the order if made will be for the welfare of the infant [person under the age of eighteen years], having regard to the age and understanding of the infant . . . .), available here, and also as .pdf Document, and also as Word Document.
[3]Adoption of Children Act §9(4) (1944) (as codified in1992) (For the purposes of any application under this Act and subject to any rules under this section, the Court shall appoint some person or body to act as guardian ad litem of the infant upon the hearing of the application with the duty of safeguarding the interests of the infant before the Court.), available here, and also as .pdf Document, and also as Word Document.
[4] Initial Report of States Parties, Antigua, ¶ 62, U.N. Doc. CRC/C/28/Add.22, U.N. Doc. CRC/C/125/Add.6 (December 9, 2003), available at http://www.unhchr.ch/tbs/doc.nsf (The right of the child to be heard is clearly a fundamental right that is guaranteed in the Constitution of Antigua and Barbuda. Whether or not the views of children are respected is often deeply embedded in cultural norms that set the standards for what is considered appropriate behaviour for children. Clearly, children in Antigua and Barbuda are given opportunities to air their views. However, it would be remiss not to mention here that culturally, in the Caribbean, children (in this context, school-age children) do not generally feel free to air their opinions on many subjects in front of adults except when called upon specifically to do so. But as discussed above, there is a growing awareness among our people that children should be given more opportunities to speak out on all issues.)

Phew. Guess I have a bit to catch up on but I'm in a bit of a rush, my last UFC in Brazil starts shortly. I'll get the burpees that I just did out of the way and then talk about the tournament today, and then I'll do Gerbil's private yesterday in a seperate post.
Burpees (5x3 minute rounds, 1 min rest)
1 - 35
2 - 29
3 - 27
4 - 26
5 - 23
Total - 140
Surprised myself and beat last week's by four, just two short of my all time best. Lifting tomorrow if they're open.
The tournament. I lost my first match, and it's all my fault. No excuses, I felt healthy, awake, ready. The guy jumps guard, I take my time prying it open, make it to half guard. We struggle there awhile, his sweeps fail. I finally get across, however I don't stabalize the position for points before he rolls to turtle, first fail. I feebly attempt to attack the turtle as he rolled out and in a scramble I ended up in a mounted triangle position. I wasn't clear if I get mount points for this position (I don't unfortunately) so I sat there for a few seconds anyways before I moved to an armbar from mounted triangle. This is where the second fail comes. Instead of staying on top of him when going for the armbar, which is the wise thing to do because even if you fail you keep position, I took the arm and then tipped over to my head. He locked his hands and scrambled up and stacked me, freeing his arm and getting his arms under my legs, stacking and driving. He gets past my guard, scoring the only points in the round and traps me in side control for the last 30 seconds or so. I lose. Simple mistakes that I don't normally make cost me a win on points and a win by submission. Not a hard loss for me though, I'm healthy, I know what I did wrong and won't **** up again on...end of the day its just another BJJ tourny. No video camera's were around, sorry.

Just seen the You Tube footage of George Hargreaves debating with Nick Griffin, earlier this week on Revelation TV.
This is what George Hargreaves, leader of the Christian Party, says on migration from the EU:
"It therefore comes as no surprise to me to see that with the British National Party's manifesto, many true and good suggestions. Some you will even find in the Christian Party manifesto. Like for instance the problem of immigration because of the EU. We concur."
