Your patients cannot open a newspaper or magazine without reading about the dangers of wearing flip-flops. With summer upon us, the lure of "open air" shoe gear is appealing to many. Of course, as podiatric physicians, we also emphasize the dangers of these shoes, especially for our patients with diabetes who are at risk for road debris and foreign objects to be swept up under their feet between the surface of the sandal and the soles of their feet.
While that risk cannot be overcome with any open shoe, there is a difference between a flip-flop and a sturdy sandal. We need to explain the differences to the patient with examples on hand.
My biomechanics friends will rightfully point out the shortcomings of sandals and I agree. However, when you are practicing in San Antonio, the bottom line is even the patients with diabetes are going to wear "chaclas," sandals. At the very least, I am going to guide them toward the best version of these that I can find.
For my indigent patients, this meant sending them to the Goodwill stores in the more affluent neighborhoods to seek out gently used pairs of Tevas, Reefs, Clarks or other good brands that had features like a raised heel cup and a sturdy sole (with no excessive medial/lateral heel wear). It was not a perfect solution but it was better than the dollar store flip-flops they had been wearing before.
What about the diabetic shoes that I had prescribed for these patients? Those were at home in a box and would only be worn for "special occasions." Apparently, going to see the podiatrist was not a special enough occasion.
Of course, there are the current "diabetic sandals" that are marketed but they are shoes with a few dorsal cutouts. I would like to pose a question to the biomechanics specialists and my fellow diabetic wound care colleagues. Given the fact that we know our patients will indeed wear true sandals, would any company ever design a diabetic sandal with true dorsal exposure or would it just be too much of a liability?
I look forward to seeing your comments.

WASHINGTON – Restricting their freedom to mosque worshipping, Chinese authorities are imposing stifling restrictions on Uighur Muslims to practice their religion.
"What we found is there is a bewildering number of regulations that Uighurs face every day," Henryk Szadziewski, a co-author of a study on the situation on Uighur Muslims, told a panel discussion in the US Congress cited by Agence France-Presse (AFP) on Thursday, May 30.
"There is confusion and people are not too sure what is legal and what isn't."
Uighurs Chafe Under Religious Restrictions
No Ramadan Fasting for Uighur Muslims
The study, by the US-based Uighur Human Rights Project, listed a series of repressive government measures against Uighurs in the northwestern Xinjiang region.
It found that Uighur Muslims are not allowed to enter mosques if they were under 18 years or employed by the government.
The restrictions are further tightened during the holy fasting month of Ramadan, when Muslims abstain from food, drink, smoking and sex between dawn and sunset.
During the holy month, restaurants are forced by local authorities to stay open during the day.
The study, which is based on witness interviews, also said that government workers are also pressured to eat during the fasting month.
It also revealed that Uighur Muslims wearing Islamic attire as veils or growing beards are banned from entering certain buildings as public assistance offices.
"The fact is that even customary practices are being questioned," Szadziewski said.
The study called on China to end its restrictions and to allow an independent Islamic scholar body as well as to include Uighur representatives on bodies that govern religion.
Uighur Muslims are a Turkish-speaking minority of eight million in the northwestern Xinjiang region.
Xinjiang, which activists call East Turkestan, has been autonomous since 1955 but continues to be the subject of massive security crackdowns by Chinese authorities.
Rights groups accuse Chinese authorities of religious repression against Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang in the name of counter terrorism.
Muslims accuse the government of settling millions of ethnic Han in their territory with the ultimate goal of obliterating its identity and culture.
Analysts say the policy of transferring Han Chinese to Xinjiang to consolidate Beijing's authority has increased the proportion of Han in the region from five percent in the 1940s to more than 40 percent now.
Chinese authorities, however, play down complaints of Uighur Muslims in the fear western region.
"There is mutual respect by Han cadres and ethnic minorities, and we are friends," deputy Xinjiang governor Shi Dagang was quoted as saying by Reuters.
"When we go into their houses as guests we are treated to meat and wine, with song and dance.
"The ethnic minorities are simple-hearted and honest, very kind and unaffected. They love guests," he added.
"I hope people don't have misapprehensions and go to Xinjiang and see for themselves."
Last month, 21 people were killed in clashes in the heavily ethnic Uighur part of Xinjiang near the old Silk Road city of Kashgar.
Xinjiang's capital, Urumqi, was also the scene of deadly violence in July 2009 when the mainly Muslim Uighur minority vented resentment over Chinese restrictions in the region.
In the following days, mobs of angry ethnic Han took to the streets looking for revenge in the worst ethnic violence that China had seen in decades.
Chinese authorities had convicted about 200 people, mostly Uighurs, over the riots and sentenced 26 of them to death.Beijing views the vast region of Xinjiang as an invaluable asset because of its crucial strategic location near Central Asia and its large oil and gas reserves.

GENEVA – A UN report has revealed grave child abuses in Syria by both the government forces and rebels for the first time since the eruption the conflict three years ago.
"Government forces have … been responsible for the arrest, arbitrary detention, ill treatment and torture of children," said the UN report cited by Al-Jazeera on Wednesday, February 5.
"Armed opposition groups have been responsible for the recruitment and use of children both in combat and support roles, as well as for conducting military operations … in civilian-populated areas."
Take Action for Syria (Active Tips)
Syrian Refugees in a Race Against Winter (Video)
Misery of Syrian Refugees (Watch)
Based on testimonies of Syrian children in their home country and in refuge, the appalling report covers the period from March 1, 2011 to November 15, 2013.
The report describes the suffering of the Syrian children as "unspeakable and unacceptable", urging an immediate end to the ongoing abuse.
"Violations must come to an end now," UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in the report.
According to the report, the Syrian government has been the main perpetrator of crimes against children since the beginning of the conflict.
As the unrest escalated, the report said that rebels became responsible for abuses as well.
During 2011 and 2012, Al-Assad troops were responsible for large scale arrest campaigns against children.
Government forces "were responsible for the arrest, arbitrary detention and torture of children for their perceived or actual association with the opposition, and for using children as human shields," the report said.
Along with detention, children suffered from "beatings with metal cables, whips and wooden and metal batons; electric shocks, including to the genitals; the ripping out of fingernails and toenails."
"Sexual violence, including rape or threats of rape; mock executions; cigarette burns; sleep deprivation; solitary confinement; and exposure to the torture of relatives," it added.
The report also pointed to an evidence of seizing young males and exploiting them to work at checkpoints and pro-Assad raids on rivals.
The UN's detailed child abuse report comes amid fading future of peace talks between the country's opponents.
The first round of Geneva II talks has concluded last Friday without agreement to end ongoing violence, with hopes that the second round next week may bring the long-awaited progress.
Loosing beloved relatives and family members frequently, distressed Syrian children became more vulnerable to recruitment by rebels, deeming it as "duty".
"Interviews with children and their parents indicated that the loss of parents and relatives, political mobilization and peer pressure from families and communities, contributed to the involvement of children with Free Syrian Army (FSA) affiliated groups," the report said.
"Many boys stated that they felt it was their duty to join the opposition," it added.
Although the UN receives consistent reports of recruitment by rebels, the report said that the recruitment was not conducted as a "policy".
Along with the previous reason, the UN found that, "the lack of education or job opportunities and peer pressure were identified as key factors leading to the recruitment of refugee children."
The recruited children not only serve in battle fields, but they could also serve as cooks, porters, cross-border arms smugglers, lookouts, and spies.
"Many are killed not only because they're fighting, but because they're performing these functions and are in the middle of the battle fields," Leila Zerrougui, special representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, told Al Jazeera.
In January, an investigative report by world renowned war crimes prosecutors and forensic experts stirred international condemnations for the Syrian regime after finding a proof that Bashar Al-Assad has systematically tortured and executed thousands of detainees since the start of 2011 uprising.
The report was based on the evidence of a defected military police photographer, referred to only as Caesar, who along with others reportedly smuggled about 55,000 digital images of some 11,000 dead detainees out of Syria.
The revolt against Assad began as peaceful protests calling for democracy and greater rights, but gradually turned to an armed struggle, pitting the Sunni majority against the president and his minority Alawite sect.
At least 125,835 since the start of the Syrian conflict, Syrian Observatory for Human Rights announced last week.
The UK based network, said that the toll included 44,381 civilians, 6,627 children and 4,454 women.
SOHR stated that at least 27,746 of rebel fighters were killed, among them more than 19,000 civilian who joined the armed opposition to fight Assad.

BYU football: Cougars to face Washington in Fight Hunger Bowl
Provo • For the first time since 2007 when it defeated UCLA 17-16 in the Las Vegas Bowl, BYU will face a team with an interim coach in a bowl game this season.
As expected, school and bowl officials announced Sunday that BYU and Washington will square off in the 2013 Fight Hunger Bowl on Dec. 27 at San Francisco's AT&T Park. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. MST and the game will be televised by ESPN.
"We are looking forward to the opportunity to play the University of Washington in the Fight Hunger Bowl in San Francisco," BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall said. "I am proud of our team. We are excited to be in the postseason for the ninth straight year with a chance to grow our program, facing an outstanding football program."
It is a matchup of 8-4 teams that aren't ranked in the major polls but are respected in the computer rankings. For instance, Washington is No. 12 in the Jeff Sagarin/USA Today ratings, and BYU is No. 30.
The Cougars will travel to the Bay Area the night of Dec. 22 and spend Christmas in San Francisco. They will spend time Christmas Day visiting the Glide Memorial Church Kitchen and St. Anthony's Dining Room in the city.
"What an exciting opportunity for the Cougars to travel to the great city of San Francisco for the Fight Hunger Bowl and to play Washington from the Pac-12," said BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe. "Our coaches, players and fans will love the holiday season in San Francisco."
The ninth meeting between the Cougars and Huskies the series is tied 4-4 is not as juicy as it appeared to be before some coaching changes last week.
Washington was coached this season by former BYU quarterback Steve Sarkisian, but he is leaving to take the head coaching job at USC. He will be replaced by Boise State's Chris Petersen, but Marques Tuiasosopo will serve as interim coach in the bowl game.
The Huskies went 8-4 in the regular season with nonconference wins over Boise State, Idaho State and Illinois.
They feature one of the best running backs in college football, junior Bishop Sankey. He has rushed for 1,775 yards and 18 touchdowns and quite likely will be playing in his last college game because it is expected he will enter the NFL Draft in April.
BYU has won its last three matchups with Washington, including a 23-17 victory in Provo in 2010, and went 6-2 against bowl teams this season.
But the Huskies are the hotter team, having won four of their last five games. They finished third in the Pac-12 North behind No. 5 Stanford and No. 10 Oregon.
Quarterback Keith Price has thrown for 2,843 yards and 20 touchdowns, with just five interceptions.
"It is great to be able to add to the wonderful bowl tradition that is long associated with BYU football," Holmoe said.
The Cougars will be making their ninth straight bowl appearance, and have gone 6-2 in bowl games under Mendenhall.

Who: Memphis Grizzlies at Portland Trailblazers
When: 9:00 PM CST
Where: Rose Garden, Portland, Oregon
Records: Memphis (50-24), Portland (33-41)
Media: Sportsouth, 92.9 FM, 680 AM
Forums: 3 Shades of Blue, Grizzlies Message Board
Memphis has overcome injuries, roster moves and a brutal schedule to regain a share of 3rd place in the Western Conference playoff race. Led by Mike Conley, Jerryd Bayless, Marc Gasol and All-Star Zach Randolph, the Grizzlies have regained their confidence after wins at Minnesota and at home against San Antonio and Houston. The schedule doesn't get any easier however as the Grizzlies head west for the their last multi-game road trip of the season. First off is at Portland, Z-Bo's original team, where Memphis has been having recent success after struggling for years in the Rose Garden. Memphis has already tied their franchise high for wins in a season and set a franchise mark for road wins but should be hungry for more as the chance to secure home court advantage in the 1st round of the playoffs is still attainable.
Portland is in a free fall after knocking on the door of the playoffs for most of the season. The Blazers have lost 5 games in a row and 7 of their last 9 including twice to the Jazz who currently sit in 8th place in the conference. At 8 games below .500 and are all but eliminated from the playoff hunt, the Blazers appear to be accepting their fate and shutting down their more experienced players in favor of giving their young bench some extra minutes. Damian Lillard is the odds on favorite to win the rookie of the year award but the Blazers are also high on Myers Leonard and Victor Claver for the future.
Expected Starting Lineups:
Mike Conley vs Damian Lillard
Mike Conley has been rising up the ranks of PGs in the league. His performance against San Antonio was particularly exciting for Memphis fans as he led the team in scoring including hit not one but two huge shots in the final 30 seconds to pull out the victory. Lillard has been setting records with his scoring all season and has been given the green light all season and he responded by setting a rookie three-point shooting record with 167 makes. Lately Lillard has been cooling off hitting just 41.8% of his FG attempts but he still is averaging 18.6 PPG and 6.5 APG. They are both solid PGs with Conley's superior defense offset somewhat by Lillard playing at home. Tough call and a fun battle to watch but home court is huge.
Advantage: Portland
Tony Allen vs Wes Matthews
Wes Matthews had a huge game against Allen and the Grizzlies back in early January. He hasn't been able to continue that strength in the two rematches as Matthews is shooting 42.9% from the field against the Grizzlies and his average overall is only 13.3 PPG. Both numbers are low compared to his season averages. Allen has been exceptional all season on defense but his loose offensive play has frustrated fans and the coaches alike. Allen is not a shooter but he can score on backcuts and lay-ups. When Allen gets too excited he starts trying to stretch his range and that hurts the team. When under control he can dismantle a scorer's confidence.
Advantage: Memphis
Tayshaun Prince vs Nicolas Batum
Batum has the total package. He can shoot from anywhere on the floor, is an excellent passer and rebounds well for a SF. He's a strong defender as well. Batum just hasn't figured out how to put all of his skills to the best use every night but at 24 he has a few more years to figure it all out. When, and if, he does he could skyrocket into All-Star status. Prince has been an all-star and is an excellent team defender as well. His offense is shaky at times but he isn't the type who needs to shoot to contribute. His ball-handling is superb for a man his size as is his passing but he isn't an adequate rebounder nor can he sky like Batum.
Advantage: Portland
Zach Randolph vs J J Hickson
JJ Hickson is a candidate for most improved player of the year. After bouncing around from Cleveland to Portland to Sacramento and back to Portland, Hickson this year has finally made his mark. He has been playing out of position for a majority of the time with Aldridge at PF but with LeMarcus' injury Hickson is back at his more natural position. Hickson has been a glass monster averaging 10.7 RPG in only 29.4 MPG this season. He also averages double figures in points. Zach Randolph returns to Portland where he was founding member of the 'JailBlazers' for years before being moved to the Knicks then Clippers before landing in Memphis. Randolph hasn't been as effective since injuring his ankle against Miami but can still put up big numbers on any given night. He should be motivated coming home again.
Advantage: Memphis
Marc Gasol vs Meyers Leonard
Leonard is nearly as popular as Damian Lillard in Portland. In the last five games, including three starts, Leonard has averaged 13.2 PPG and 6.0 RPG on 58.3% shooting. At 7'1″ Leonard has the size to be a decent defensive center but the 21-year-old rookie from Illinois still needs to put on some weight. Marc Gasol has schooled Portland in three games averaging 18.3 PPG and 6.7 RPG. HOwever that was mostly against the smaller J J Hickson. Gasol hasn't had much trouble with Leonard earlier in the season but the rookie has been gaining confidence of late.
Advantage: Memphis
Memphis' bench has been an enigma this season. Sometimes it has been non-existent. Other times it has been unstoppable. Usually of late it has been a one man show as Jerryd Bayless has been on fire but when he hasn't been Darrell Arthur, Ed Davis and Quincy Pondexter have stepped up. Even Austin Daye has been making solid appearances of late. Portland's bench will likely be tested, especially Eric Maynor who will likely be called on to defend Bayless. Maynor, since coming over from OKC, has been the most solid producer with Leonard in the starting lineup. Maynor has averaged only 6.3 PPG and 3.9 APG in his last 10 games. Victor Claver, Luke Babbitt and former Tiger Will Barton are all interesting young players but haven't risen to the call consistently yet.
Advantage: Memphis

BUFFALO VALLEY, Tenn. (AP) -- U.S. Army Corps of Engineers say Center Hill Dam will be strengthened before it becomes a danger.
The DeKalb County dam was deemed high risk by the corps last January.
Corps officials said at a series of public meetings that repairs are to begin in the next several weeks.
The corps already has been keeping tabs on the dam for months and some minor grouting work has been finished.
Seepage is being monitored.

While not strictly historically accurate, Zero Dark Thirty is an incredibly well made film with great performances and a through-line of tension that doesn't let up until the boots are off the ground and the final credits roll.
A fictionalized account of the hunt for Osama Bin Laden starting from 9/11 to the ultimate killing of the terrorist mastermind, Zero Dark Thirty follows Maya (Jessica Chastain) a CIA analyst who's only drive in life is to find Bin Laden as she tries to piece evidence on a particular Al Qeada courier in the hopes that he would lead her to Osama Bin Laden. Along the way she teams with Dan (Jason Clarke), a CIA interrogator who eventually loses his stomach for torture and a collection of other CIA operatives as they try to find anything at all that will lead them to find their target. Given it is loosely based on real events, saying that the film ends with the raid on Bin Laden's compound and his ultimate death is not a spoiler. Those 20 minutes that deal with the raid are probably the best in the film and is some of the year's best film making.
Zero Dark Thirty is a difficult movie to review given some of the details in the film and how the film presents the use and results of torture however, while it is based upon true events, it is still a fictionalized account of events, like most movies, and as such I will not get into political debate here nor will I pass political judgement on events depicted. Suffice it to say, the film suggests that torture provided actionable information that led to finding Bin Laden and that point is refuted by many people involved in the events themselves. It is not my job to pass judgement on this and I will not. My job is to review the quality of the film and that is what I will do as objectively as I possibly can.
Zero Dark Thirty feels like two different movies, partially due to length but also to tone. The early part of the film deals very heavily with detainee interrogations and the efforts of the CIA to try to piece together evidence based on this. It shows false leads and political maneuvering and shows what happens when the wrong people are trusted. The interrogations themselves are difficult to watch and even amidst the horrifying nature of these scenes, the film does a bit to try to humanize all of the characters on either side of the conflict.
The latter half of the movie picks up speed a bit as Maya finds that one of her old theories may prove to be true and things become more about surveillance and board room negotiations and analysis. This ultimately leads up to sending Seal Team 6 in to kill Bin Laden. The effectiveness with which director Kathryn Bigelow switches tone and intensity here is remarkable and the movie slides effortlessly from one to the other.
While tone shifts a bit depending on location and political climate throughout the film, there is always an undercurrent of tension punctuated by occasional violence that underscores just how serious the situation continues to be. Data collection becomes a dangerous business when you are dealing with terrorists and there is never a moment in which anyone feels particularly safe. This effective use of tension should come as no surprise to anyone who saw Bigelow's previous film the Hurt Locker, which was a master class in onscreen tension building. Zero Dark Thirty is helped along by having more of a story to tell and a much larger canvass to work against. Bigelow has made many different types of films in her career but I think this kind of film is her niche and this material finds her sweet spot.
The performances are universally strong from a cast that is impressively expansive. From Mark Strong to Mark Duplass and Chris Pratt to James Gandolfini, even the smaller roles are filled with terrific actors doing terrific work. Jason Clarke is particularly effective and even if you find what Dan does despicable, Clarke portrays him in a compelling way and it is difficult not to enjoy the performance. Chastain is effective as Maya who is the one constant in the movie as the characters change and shift around her. She has a bit of a thankless job in that people who are this driven often don't have a lot of other meat to them…she is all intensity and drive but Chastain manages to do it without coming off like a robot. I personally really enjoyed Mark Strong and Mark Duplass's performances but I am a fan of both of them so I am a bit biased. But personal preference aside, by casting such great people even in small roles means that there is no weak link in the performance chain and that really helps bolster the drama quite a bit.
The movie is around two hours and 40 minutes and it feels like it. As they were gearing up to go on the raid, I thought 'jesus this at least another 20 minutes' but then the raid was amazing and compelling. You will feel the length but the quality of what you are watching makes you not care so much. There could have been some tightening here or there to make the pace flow better but in general even when it feels long it is still an engaging and compelling film.
Conclusion [9.5 out of 10]
Again, I am not going to get into political issues for this film and my score does not necessarily reflect how I feel about some issues in the film. That being said, it is enormously well made and is engaging as a thriller and a procedural and delivers a compelling film. If you are sensitive to torture or intense violence then you may not have the stomach for the film as it is unflinching in its depiction of these scenes. Taken as a dramatization of real events, the film is pretty incredible. Facts are out there if you want to read more on the events depicted here but in terms of the film itself it is impossible not to recommend for fans of this sort of material. It is up to you to decide how you feel about what this movie has to say and, in a way, that is what films are for.

Welcome to ecopa
european consensus-platform for alternatives
The concept of consensus between the parties concerned, i.e. animal welfare, industry, academia and governmental institutions has been accepted in various countries as an efficient way to stimulate research into alternatives to animal experiments and enforce the acceptance of alternatives in experimental practice.
The goal is to respond to the need for the creation of a pan-european platform. As well as a link being required between the different national platforms, consensus discussions with all relevant groups will maximise results and minimise conflicts within the 3Rs strategy. Jointly accepted opinions transformed into a strong plea has substantial impact on issues centering around alternative methods.

No, she is not applying for a deputy place there, but she still got into the building of the European Parliament in Brussels. On Wednesday, March 28th, the Bulgarian representative in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012, Sofi Marinova, got her place in the limelight as a part of the pre-celebrations for the International Roma Day (April 7th). She sang in front of an eminent audience – about 300 deputies and official guests, including the Vice-President of the European Commission Viviane Reding and the Vice-President of the European Parliament Othmar Karas.
Liviya Yaroka, a Hungarian deputy of Roma heritage, shared her concern due to discrimination suffered by Roma people. "Roma people have been laid upon discrimination in all of Europe. But what we should figure out is that the reason for such issues is that we do not have enough knowledge of each other's culture".
Sofi revealed the essence that we are all alike by singing – some traditional songs in Roma language and then her Eurovision entry – "Love Unlimited". She told the media later she was surprised that the audience seemed to be aware of the song and liked it, especially the chorus. "It is altogether, these three ingredients – voice, music and lyrics. And three are made from the heart – and this is why it turned out to be that likeable. We are equal to be blamed – the musicians, the lyrics-writer. And Sofi's voice, too", she smiles.
You can view footage from her visit (in Bulgarian) below;

£1.2 million facelift to bring new life to Darley Abbey's long neglected mills
Posted: January 22, 2014|
TWO former cotton mills are set to undergo their biggest makeover since they were built more than 200 years ago.
Darley Abbey's West Mill and Long Mill are both grade one-listed and are among the oldest industrial buildings in the world.
Having been on English Heritage's at-risk register for many years, 2014 could see them brought back to life.
Patterns Properties bought the mills just over a year ago and wants to invest a seven-figure sum to create a wedding and hospitality venue overlooking the River Derwent and new offices at the West Mill and Long Mill, respectively. There are even plans to reintroduce water power to the mills.
Related content
A feasibility study is being carried out with a view to producing a hydro-electric scheme, with water following the route of the old millstream. It is hoped that the project has the potential to provide the buildings and surrounding homes with their own green energy.
After discussions with English Heritage, the conservation department at Derby City Council and planning officers, a planning application has been submitted.
With a fair wind, the first wedding at the new venue could be held this year.
Director Andrew Rose said: "The pre-application work has gone well and we are working closely with English Heritage and Derby City Council. Hopefully, our first wedding will be around Christmas 2014. The buildings have suffered from a lack of investment and inappropriate subdivision over the years, but they have huge potential."
Weddings would be held on the third floor of the West Mill, where about 25 people are likely to be employed for each event. The second floor would be used for dining and the first floor for evening functions.
Andrew said: "There will be a full commercial kitchen and the venue will be able to cater for up to 170 guests. It will be air-conditioned and heated."
Part of the building would be sound-proofed to prevent noise from bands annoying the neighbours.
On the ground floor, Patterns Properties wants a gallery of historical pictures of the Darley Abbey Mills complex. There are a large number of pictures tracing the evolution of the mills but they have never been displayed in one place before.
The upper floors of the West Mill, adjoining Darleys restaurant and overlooking the weir, have been vacant for at least 60 years.
Restoring the West Mill would involve replacing the roof, likely to be the most costly and complicated part of the process, given its listed status.
A lift would also have to be installed so that the building complies with the Disabilities Discrimination Act, and erosion of masonry over many years would have to be dealt with.
The West and Long Mills make up about a third of the site and have been largely unused for many years.
Andrew said: "When the buildings were mills operated by Walter Evans, there would have been a maintenance team but, because they have been largely vacant for so long, there has not been any investment in them. The Long Mill will be restored to create letting units, offices and studios and will have space for about 150 people."
About 200 people already work at Darley Abbey Mills and work will be undertaken to install fibre optic cable to ensure that firms at the Long Mill will have superfast broadband.
Derventio Brewery currently operates at the Long Mill. This would move to a larger unit to the north east of the mill complex.
Patterns Properties' latest plan comes after the refurbishment of the North Mill attracted advanced technology firm Brewer Science, design and marketing agency Fluid Ideas and Pure Fitness Gym.
With the exception of Darleys restaurant, Patterns Properties now owns the entire Darley Abbey Mills complex.
Andrew said: "With the Long Mill, we will be targeting creative businesses and firms in technology, media and telecommunications. We would like Darley Abbey Mills to become a creative village."

The success of the Object Management Group's General Inter-ORE Protocol (GIOP) is leading to the desire to deploy GIOP in an ever-wider range of application areas, many of which are significantly more demanding than traditional areas in terms of performance. The well-known performance limitations of present day GIOP-based object request brokers (ORBs) are therefore increasingly being seen as a problem. To help address this problem, this paper discusses a GIOP implementation which has high performance and quality of service support as explicit goals. The implementation, which is embedded in a research ORE called GOPI, is modular and extensible in nature and includes novel optimization techniques which should be separately portable to other ORE environments. This paper focuses on the message protocol aspects of GOPI's GIOP implementation; higher layer issues such as marshalling and operation demultiplexing are not covered in detail. Figures are provided which position GOPI's GIOP performance against comparable ORBs. The paper also discusses some of the design decisions that have been made in the development of the GIOP protocol in the light of our implementation experience.

Tracheal Dosage of Amylase : a New Surrogate for Microaspirations in Ventilated ICU Patients
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
Microaspirations of the oropharyngeal ± gastric contents through the endotracheal tube cuff contribute to the constitution of VAP. The pepsin has been recently proved effective as a surrogate of gastric content and was assessed in tracheal secretions. However, the pepsin dosage is fastidious, expensive and only characterizes aspirations from gastric origin. The aim of our study is to asses whether the value of amylase, which is mostly secreted by salivary glands, may turn out to be a new and simpler surrogate for microaspirations in ventilated ICU patients. Thirty patients ventilated for an anticipated length > 48h whose endotracheal tube includes a subglottic secretion device and producing sufficient endotracheal aspirations will be included. From H48, 4 sets of 3 aspirations each (oral, subglottic, tracheal) will be performed during one ventilation day for amylase dosage purpose. In ten of these patients, a comparison between pepsin and amylase will be assessed. In addition, 10 non intubated patients with an indication to bronchoscopy and necessitating a tracheal aspiration during the procedure will be included as a control group. The primary assessment criteria will be the oral/tracheal amylase ratio.

Frequently Asked Questions about CrossFit Delaware Valley:
Why is CrossFit different?
CrossFit is a strength and conditioning system that combines elements from weightlifting, gymnastics and endurance sport. We aim to build a complete fitness that will enable our athletes to become stronger, faster, and to have more stamina. Our philosophy encourages the development of general physical skills that improve your life.
Do you have any more info about CrossFit?
Sure! Read 'What is CrossFit' and 'What is Fitness' to get a better understanding of the theory and practice of CrossFit. Also, here's a short promo video that shows some CrossFit athletes doing their thing.
Is this for me? It seems kind of, 'intense'..
CrossFit is a scalable program. Everything that we do can be broken down, either by modifying a movement, lowering time or reps, or dropping the weight. If you watched the video in the previous question, see those people for what they are – advanced CrossFitters doing really incredible things. If you start with us, you're going to learn the form first and you'll spend a lot of time with a PVC pipe and not a barbell. Mechanics, then consistency, THEN intensity – that's the CrossFit way.
What type of results should I expect?
You should expect to gain capacity in all of the 10 General Physical Skills. Those are: Strength, Cardio/Respiratory Endurance, Stamina, Flexibility, Power, Speed, Coordination, Accuracy, Agility and Balance. Depending on how you eat, you might also see some body composition changes (losing or gaining weight). If you need a quick analog for the typical CrossFit athlete, think about an 800m runner. Lean, muscular and capable of doing a lot of work.
I play a sport. Can I do CrossFit?
Sure. You should view CrossFit as your General Physical Preparedness (GPP) program. When you're off season, you'll do more GPP and less Sport Specific Conditioning (SSC). As your season approaches, you'll dial down the GPP and increase the SSC. We have plenty of former and current athletes amongst our ranks and CrossFit seems to fit really well in this framework.
What does a typical class look like?
We begin with a warmup ('cardio', join mobility, perhaps tissue manipulation via foam rollers) and go through a series of bodyweight exercises to get your body ready. Depending on the workout, we may do a skill session to practice the moves being used. Then it's on to the workout.. Many days there's just one.. Sometimes, we separate the workout into strength and conditioning (metcon) pieces. We end the class with a cool down and stretch. Most classes run about one hour in length but sometimes we go over by five or ten minutes, depending on the work being done and the number of athletes we're training.
Do you mix experience levels amongst your classes?
Yes. We feel that it's best to integrate new members right into the main classes, so that they can learn from the experienced members. That said, we do scale workouts during each and every class, depending upon fitness level, experience level or for injuries.
Do you provide any guidance on scaling or are the athletes 'on their own'?
Yes. We deliberately keep our class sizes relatively small so that our instructors are able to effectively scale the daily workout for individual application. We do this in every class and this is part of our 'regular's service.
How many athletes do you have in each class?
Right now, we cap all of our classes to 12 per instructor. In order to give a good class experience, we need to have the right trainer-to-athlete ratio and 12 seems to be the maximum that we can handle. Plus, the instructors need to be able to scale workouts effectively and we can't do that if 30 people show up at once. Sometimes you'll see more in a particular class and that's because the workout is super-easy to administer (i.e. bodyweight or running).
I have an injury. Can I still participate?
Again, we scale workouts in every class. So, if you have an injury, just tell the instructor. We can lower the weight, lower the reps or suggest a completely different exercise so that you can still participate. We do this in EVERY CLASS.
I need a little extra help with XYZ. What can you do for me?
We provide coaching in all of our classes. If the class instruction and demonstration isn't working for you, ask the instructor on duty for help. If he/she can't resolve it during class, then you might need to stay after for a fix. If it's something that requires a lot of work, we may suggest signing up for personal training to really drill the weakness and get it solved for good.
I'm really out of shape. There's no way I'll survive in group class..
Our Elements Class is the perfect place to start. The class is primarily beginners, who are all in the same boat as you. Once you 'graduate' to the regular classes, don't forget that we're still going to have an eye on you and still scale your workouts for awhile (likely working towards Intermediate scaling and finally RX). Once you show that you can master the scaled version, we'll bump you up to the full dosage. For many of our members, this process of 'going RX'd' can take months if not years (these workouts are TOUGH). Advice: Don't be in a rush to do it all. Think of your fitness as a long climb to a distant horizon. Rome wasn't built in a day.
MEMBERSHIPS and APPOINTMENTS
How do I get started?
Check out our Membership Info page for the process. Basically, we want all of our prospective members to go through some kind of introduction training before the dive into the group classes. We do this for a few reasons: 1) New members need to understand the movements so they can do them correctly and remain safe and 2) Classes run more effectively when everyone has a baseline of knowledge regarding the movements.
How do your memberships work?
Members choose a membership term (per session, per month) and they either pay all at once or on a monthly recurring basis. If you sign up for a monthly membership, your billing date will stay the same each month. Additional membership policies are right here.
Whoa! You guys are expensive..
We have no interest in competing with 24 Hour Fitness or other 'globo gyms'. Those gyms are fine if you a) don't want any coaching, b) don't need any specialized equipment and c) don't care about a fun, supportive and gently competitive environment. That's what we offer. This is our life.. We get results with our clients and we're serious about it.
What do most people start with?
Most people start with Elements followed by a 3x/week membership. Those who want to CrossFit for maintenance and to stay healthy remain at 3x/week. Those who want to get really fit or compete go to Unlimited.
What if I don't like it? Can I cancel?
If you sign up for a month-to-month membership, you can cancel anytime for any reason (we ask for 7 days notice to stop your credit card draw). If you sign up for a commitment membership, you can still cancel but any money paid upfront will be forfeited.
Can I hold my membership?
Yes. We allow members to hold up to 30 days per year.
I need to cancel my personal training appointment. How does that work?
Cancellations are ok, blow-offs are not. Please provide 24-hour notice if you plan on canceling, otherwise we will charge you for the scheduled session.
Do you offer CrossFit Kids?
Yes! We are an official CF Kids affiliate and offer two versions of CF Kids classes – ages 6-11 and ages 12-17. More info on our CF Kids program can be found here.
Is it ok if I bring my child into the gym while I'm working out?
You can bring your kids to class, provided they stay in the coat area and off of the equipment. If they're little and need your constant attention, consider a babysitter. We absolutely do not tolerate kids in the main workout area during class.
I want to skip classes and just come and use your equipment. Can I do that?
Sorry. We're selling coaching, not equipment rental.

one government. The village then elected to "release" the township making it its own entity. Now the village is attempting to disincorporate. My question is, would the township be required to accept the village, and wouldn't that place a greater burden on the township?"
Your question is a political hot potato in Spring Lake, Jim. I'll attempt to answer it without getting into the middle of all the political debate over the disincorporation issue. I think Tribune reporter Marie Havenga has been covering that issue very well.
So, to the first part of your question: Yes it once was, but you have to go way back, many years before the Civil War — and yes, it still is.
Originally called Mill Point, what is now Spring Lake Village was part of Norton Township, organized in 1839. In his big local history book, "Grand Haven: In the Path of Destiny," Dr. Dave Seibold says the name Spring Lake was first used in 1849 when Norton Township split into Crockery and Spring Lake townships. The body of water called Big Bayou was slowly shifted to being called Spring Lake shortly after that.
Mill Point became Spring Lake Village in 1867, and was officially incorporated as a village in 1869.
Seibold says the early Village Council shared the old Park Street School for meetings and elections with the Spring Lake Township Board.
If you would like to read more on the subject, look over Seibold's comprehensive 2007 book at the local libraries. It can be purchased at the Tri-Cities Historical Museum. The history of the village is Chapter 8 and the history of Spring Lake Township is Chapter 12.
Now, for the second part of the answer. In Michigan, villages are also part of — and somewhat under the jurisdiction of — the surrounding township, but cities are not. For example, the City of Grand Haven and Grand Haven Township are completely separate; but you'll find Spring Lake Township offices in the Village of Spring Lake, and village residents pay township taxes as well.
Do you have a question for the Tribune? E-mail it to firstname.lastname@example.com, and type MAILBAG in the subject line. Or mail it the old-fashioned way to: Grand Haven Tribune, MAILBAG, 101 N. Third St., Grand Haven, MI 49417. We'll do our best to get you an answer! A new Mailbag appears on grandhaventribune.com at 5 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Business Improvement District
The Business Improvement District was established in 2001 to fund activities that promote tourism and related tourist events. The funds are generated from a 2% assessment on hotel room receipts and their use is restricted by state law and the resolution approved by the Council to authorize the District. One half of the proceeds are allocated to the Laguna Beach Visitors and Conference Bureau and the other half is distributed equally among the Arts Commission Special Programs, Cultural Arts Funding, Laguna Art Museum, Laguna Playhouse, and the Laguna College of Art & Design. The District must be renewed annually through a public hearing and protest vote process involving each lodging establishment in the city.

text: Power, control, greed, freedom, beauty and desire: these are the fundamental qualities found in our tumultuous times. As an artist, I wanted to take the most destructive man made objects and focus on the purity of form. I wanted to connect the world of wars and killing machines with the peace-loving world of ceramics. This idea can be connected to the counter culture of the past but it's still relavant today. In ceramics you create but in warfare you destroy. I wanted to comment on the dissonance between the two while acknowledging our attraction to both worlds.

I am looking for the Magic Tape coupon for 1.00 off. 3M must have caught on as it is no longer on the welcome coupon page PDF. Had anybody saved it and could email it to me? :)
I am a teacher and this would help so much!! Sarah
Can you tell me will these max perk rewards be available with on-line purchases? Will the sale begin tonight at 12:00? 2 weeks ago I became a max perks member and cannot believe all the back to school things I am getting for basically free, depending on which way you look at it. Schools can really use this stuff if you like to donate. Do you know exactly how their policy works with using your max perks rewards to buy more max perk deals. I spoke with a customer service rep and the way I understood him this method could work.
I purchased backpacks last year in store and received 100% back in maxperks. I have been rolling these same maxperks rewards since last year and received tons a freebies, including a new printer, binders, markers, pens, tape, and paper. It does work on on-line purchases. If you log on to your account right now, you can see that they are currently offering free markers and pens. You can get free shipping if your order is > $50 and if you go through ebates, you get cash back. I have even used some of my maxperks rewards to purchase a Home Depot gift card in store.
where do you see what is currently 100% cash back?
If you have a Discover Credit Card then go through ShopDiscover and you get 5% cashback which is more than Ebates!
In case anyone is wondering, there's a limit of 2 on OfficeMax 8.5 x 11 Mutlipurpose Paper 500 sheet $6.99
Get $6.98 back in MaxPerks Rewards
Final Cost $0.01!
I am totally new to maxperk and last year I bought 2 backpacks and did not check reward and now it expire :(. 80 $ wasted :(
Can you tell me what is reward card and how to use it.
Cause I really need more backpacks for my siblings and I cannot afford to lose more money.
I don't have alot of experience with max perks either but when you go into the store and sign up for a max perks card make sure they scan it b4 you make your purchase and then you go online and register the max perks card and keep checking your max perks account until you see that you have your max perks credit applied to your account. It should take a few weeks for your max perks credit to hit your account (30+ days). When you see that you have your max perks credit then all you have to do is print out the max perks certificate and take it into office max or go online to office max and then you can spend it like a gift card, or you can wait to see if they offer another 100 back in maxperks offer and roll your maxperks into another reward. Since you said you checked your account and your max perks expired you must have a card already so you shouldnt need another one, the key is not to forget that you have max perks coming and don't let them expire….Well I hope I have not confussed you and hope you better understand maxperks.
thank you i keep loosing mine also this helps me
Login to your maxperks account. There is an offer on the home page located here:
Do you know if you can get the .01 deals online too?
So I have 28.26 in max perks rewards now. Can I use that to buy 1 or 2 backpacks and still get 100% of their cost back in max perks? Or does it void the deal when I use max perks to pay for it?
Maxperks roll, no problem. I've done it for a year now.
The Sharpie pens 2/3 are in fcat one of the $5.00 off 3coupon items so a money maker of .54. I did this for my first order to see if it worked and got the refund but for the other two orders I added items to prevent a negative total requiring managers code and key(even though they did not mind).
Today when I purchased at Office Max, I also got a $5 off $25 coupon to use at Payless Shoe Source :-)
I got 2 backpacks ($29.99 and $39.99) and 4 packs of sharpie twin pack black fine tip pens (2 for $3, so $6 total for 4) for approx. $76 before tax. I used the $5 off 3 sharpie/expo products coupon from a tear pad in the store. I went to pay (I had some MaxPerks rewards) and when I pulled out my MaxPerks card it was a $25 coupon that I guess I didnt even realize I had. I just signed up and received my MaxPerks membership and card and the coupon must have come with my card. IF ANY OF YOU JUST GOT YOUR MAXPERKS CARD, CHECK FOR THIS HOT COUPON TO USE WITH THE BACKPACK DEAL! After the 2 coupons ($5 and $25) the total with tax was $50.22 and I think I will get most of that back in MaxPerks. My best school supply deal EVER!
Thanks so much, Collin! I ended up getting two rolling backpacks that should work perfectly as carry ons. We've been schlepping along regular bags on our backs these last few trips so I'm looking forward to trying these out!
I'm about to leave the country for a while and won't be able to use all my maxperks coupons. If anyone wants some let me know. They are as follows:
#1 $15 off $50 valid to 8/13 (I think you have to be under my maxperks – so you wouldn't want to do it for deals like this backpack.)
#2 Free reusable tote + 20% of everything you can fit inside valid July 31st and August 1st ONLY
#3 They sent me a lot of $10 off $50 to pass out to my students – looks like you can us your maxperks and maybe I get some kickback in my maxperks if you use it (it's under the teacher thing) They sent me 32 of these. They are valid from 8/2 to 9/30. My school doesn't start until late September, so I don't see myself passing them out to students with much time left – so thought if someone wanted them and would make use of them – might as well give them away!
I need to mail them out tomorrow – so send me addresses right away (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Hope this is helpful to someone!
I was wondering if anyone has an official Office Max link to this backpack deal or Office Max ad?
I am having problems with the reward and I wanted to get a proof that OfficeMax indeed had this 100%Bonus reward on backpacks. Thanks!
I purchased 2 backpacks along with several other maxperks items and one of my backpacks that was backordered did not earn any bonus, I called and they said they would correct it within 2 days.
2 days later I checked my maxperks account and they removed my first backback that already qualified, but now i guess it doesn't, and still did nothing with rewarding my bonus for the backordered item.
So I will probably need some help too, a backlink to the original ad might work, I don't know.
Has anyone else had issues with OM? What is the best way to resolve?
It seems frustrating since you are unable to speak directly with the maxperks dept.
