South Africa may look to outlaw spanking at home
Punishment would be deemed a form of assault
The Children's Rights Project, a non-governmental organization based at the University of the Western Cape in South Africa, is working with South Africa's government to draft a bill that would outlaw spanking at home.
If passed, the bill would outlaw corporal punishment in the home. This is the second bid by the organization, after a failed attempt in 2007.
"If a husband beats a wife it's a crime, but if a parents hits a child who is helpless, it's not illegal," Social Development Minister Bathabile Dlamini told the Sunday Times. Under the draft law, parents would be charged with assault if, at home, they used a flat hand on a child's bottom or enacted any other forms of corporal punishment.
Critics who oppose the law say the move to could have the effect of turning "law-abiding, diligent parents into criminals overnight."
Focus On The Family, a global Christian group, opposes the proposal, but noted to The Times that for most children, "the removal of pleasures or privileges is actually more painful than a spanking."
Finland, Germany, Kenya, Poland, Sweden and Uruguay already have bans on corporal punishments.

Cleaning congressional ethics 'a noble goal,' Snow says
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 12/20/2006 @ 1:00 am In Front Page | Comments Disabled
President Bush's White House spokesman is endorsing the goal of a higher ethical standard for Congress.
In a press briefing yesterday, Les Kinsolving, WND's correspondent at the White House, asked about the issue, which has been the news repeatedly in recent weeks.
"Speaker-elect Pelosi has announced that she will be speaker of what she termed, and this is a quote, 'The most honest, most open and most ethical Congress in history.' My question: Did the President agree with Mrs. Pelosi's announcement, in view of the re-election of Democrat Congressmen Jefferson, Hastings, McDermott, Murtha, and Mollohan?" Kinsolving asked.
"I think – look, she's got a noble goal. Let's hope she succeeds," was Snow's response.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi, C-Calif., will be leading a U.S. House featuring those representatives, who all have faced allegations of improprieties during their political careers:
Since Democrats garnered enough votes in November to move into the majority in the U.S. House, Pelosi has been preaching about a new ethical standard, and has proposed a special panel to consider the creation of an independent body to oversea House ethics rules.
But she also has endured criticism for, among other issues, backing Murtha as her second-in-command in the House.
In a second question, Kinsolving asked about a report that the president has delayed for six more months the plan approved by Congress in 1995 to transfer the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
"And my question: In how many other countries of the world do we refuse to have our embassy in their capital, but in another city which resembles Israel locating their embassy in Baltimore?" he asked.
"I'm aware of none," Snow said.
Do you have a tough question you'd like to ask the White House? WND's MR. PRESIDENT! forum is your big chance.

I looked at the listing for the LPL power supply at B&H (It looks like the same one as shown in the Adorama link). I believe that model is intended to power a 100 watt/12volt lamp on the LPL 670 and C6700 series dichroic lamp houses, so no, this probably wont work on the Esco with its 250 watt/24 volt ELC lamp.
You could use the Omega Standard Power Supply #412-021 intended for the Omega D Dichro II Lamphouse. It is a 300 watt 120v to 22.5V step-down transformer intended to power the ELC lamp at a 6.25% voltage reduction (supposed to prolong the lamp life) in the Dichro II head. These can be found on eBay for reasonable prices. Wiring it to work with the Esco system in its original manner might be challenging.
You could certainly wire the lamp circuit of the head directly to that of the Omega power supply using an external timer. Youd also have to provide the cooling fan in the head with 120 volt current (Im assuming that Esco provides a fan). Youd also need the Omega #404-841 Solid State Voltage Stabilizer or a 120 volt line stabilizer of sufficient power rating for color work. (Note: the Omega 75 voltage stabilizer is far too weak for a power supply of this size). The voltage stabilizer isnt needed for B&W enlarging.
A simpler alternative is to look for an Omega D Dichro II head and power supply (and voltage stabilizer if you intend on color enlarging). These can be found on eBay for reasonable prices.
It would be great if you could find a technician that could repair your unit, but that might be tough to find.

Water department maintenance supervisor John Smith stands in the city inventory room. The The city must begin using lead-free valves in 2014, as mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency. The city must scrap or sell their inventory by the deadline. / photos by Trevor Jones/Times Recorder
The top compression fitting costs about $16. The bottom, lead-free fitting costs $21.54.
Inventory sits among the shelves in the water maintenance department. The city is mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency to begin using lead-free parts in 2014. The city must scrap or sell their current inventory by the deadline. / Trevor Jones/Times Recorder
ZANESVILLE — The citys water department will have to empty its brass valve inventory by years end to meet Environmental Protection Agency rules that materials used for water projects contain no lead.
Water Superintendent Paul Mills said if there is a silver lining to the situation, its that valves, couplings and meters already in the ground dont have to immediately be replaced.
What is in the system, is in the system. But any ordering we do from now on has to be a no-lead product, Mills said. If we run across old valves when we are out servicing old lines, its just an automatic we will replace with new brass.
City officials had plenty of time to prepare for the EPA directive and set aside funds within the water budget for the capital outlay. Mills set aside $65,000 in his department budget for the inventory change.
Water Maintenance Supervisor John Smith said the Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act was passed by Congress and signed into law in January 2011. The new law, which mirrors regulations imposed by California, Vermont and Maryland legislators, is one of several amendments added throughout the years to the federal Safe Drinking Water Act first passed in 1974, strengthening permissible lead levels.
However, money concerns and the wait for the new rules to be formalized delayed the citys start on the change.
Weve got about a year until it goes into effect, in January 2014, but weve started buying already, Smith said. The problem has been the cost. Were paying 25 (percent) to 30 percent more for some items.
For example, a compression fitting for a particular valve used to cost about $16 per item; its lead-free counterpart costs $21.54.
Were estimating right around $40,000 for our maintenance inventory, and about $25,000 in metering, he said.
He said the maintenance inventory is 2,360 valves and fittings, while water meters for in-ground installation number about 910.
Finding uses for all of these pieces probably wont be a problem, Smith said. But the last couple of months, well have to sit down and evaluate what weve got and what to do with whats left.
What cant be used or sold to other municipalities likely will be scrapped out to Polks, Smith said.
Its not going to be a total loss if we have to take them out and scrap them for cash, he said.

For some years prior to and every year since the unfortunate events of September 11, 2001, funding for emergency preparedness has been filtered into States and local entities for the express purpose of public health preparedness and emergency response. The Weber-Morgan Health Department receives federal funds from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Health Resource and Services Administration (HRSA) that enables us to prepare not only ourselves, but the community for a public heath event.
Planning for every emergency is impossible, but efforts are made to ensure coordination with local emergency planning committees and other local response partners is occurring in order to respond as efficiently and effectively as possible. "All hazards planning" is a primary area of focus and includes planning and response, equipment and pharmaceuticals, facility readiness, personnel and education, and information technology and communication.
Hazard & Vulnerability Analysis
Public Health Epidemiological Investigation
Emergency Public Information
Worker Health and Safety
Isolation & Quarantine
Mass Prophylaxis & Vaccination
Medical & Public Health Surge
Economic & Community Recovery
We have a full-time Emergency Response Coordinator on staff, along with a Public Information Officer (PIO), and an Epidemiology and Surveillance nurse. The entire staff of the Weber-Morgan Health Department has been trained to operate during a disaster or public health event through various forms of work sessions, tabletop exercises, and mass clinic exercises.
The Utah Department of Health has in place at the Weber-Morgan Health Department a Regional Epidemiologist to assist the health department in establishing and operating disease surveillance systems and reporting diseases and conditions. Mr. Glen Kinney works with Weber-Morgan approximately three days per week and with Bear River Health Department in Logan two days a week. He assists with disease interviews or epidemiological investigations, as well as health assessments and training.
A mass clinic vaccination plan is in place and has been exercised by the department numerous times. This plan enables the health department to quickly and efficiently provide a large number of residents within a short period of time vaccinations that may reduce or eliminate symptoms of a highly infectious disease. For example, select strains of the influenza virus have proven historically to spread quickly throughout the United States. If unvaccinated, many residents within Weber and Morgan Counties could become sick. Our plan allows us to set up vaccination clinics at remote locations in order to provide many people in a short time period an antibiotic to help fight the virus.

Would you think I'm crazy if I said the Yankees should be thrilled at this deal? When you look at the what the Red Sox acquired versus what they gave up, it's very hard to knock the Victor Martinez deal. They got an All-Star level bat who can play 2 positions for 3 pitchers who...

Yanks get Jerry Hairston Jr.
Joel Sherman has the news. Hairston, 33, was acquired from the Reds, where he hit .254/.305/.397. He can play the OF—all three positions—and some IF (3B, 2B, SS). Hairston isn't as fast as Gardner (not even close), but he offers some speed and is a good OF defender while his defense in the IF...
Arroyo does OJ impersonation: "If I am on the list, here's why"
And as far as his teammates from that period, Manny and Papi:
"But guys like David and Manny, if they did something, it didn't make them who they were. Did it make them a little better? Probably," Arroyo said, according to the report.
Ouch. Still doesn't explain the cornrows that Arroyo chose.

The "release the names" debate
Game 102: Yankees 2, White Sox 3
Thumbs Down:
Yankee Bats: The Yankees struck out 14 times last night and were 1-8 with runners in scoring position. Perhaps their offense got a late flight from Tampa?
Teixeira & A-Rod: Both went 0-4 with 3 Ks. Teix left 4 runners on base.
Cano: Also went 0-4 and had a crucial error when Pierzynski took a hard 'slide into second in the seventh.
Thumbs Up:
Pettitte: Despite the fact that he is still searching for his first victory since July 1, Pettitte put in a great night. He threw 6.1 innings, gave up only 5 hits and 2 runs (1 earned). Pettitte didn't walk anyone and struck out 8.
Swisher: His homer in the bottom of the ninth with two outs was clutch, too bad the Yankees couldn't capitalize on it.
Damon: Johnny's bat had been kind of quiet in Tampa, but last night he went 2-3 and picked up a RBI.
Hughes: When Hughes walked out to the mound in the ninth I had a bad feeling.…
Red Sox to acquire Victor Martinez, per twitter
No word on the price yet, but hopefully the Indians were able to extract some valuable players/prospects from Boston. The tweet is from Bob Nightengale, a USA Today writer. Of the big 3 of Halladay, Adrian Gonzalez, and Martinez, V-Mart would likely have had the lowest cost, and is not the same caliber player...
Shelley gets the call
From Chad Jennings, we learn that the Yankees have recalled Shelley Duncan. No word yet on who has been sent down.
A bit more on Papi, Manny
- Every team since (at least) the 1989 A's have had someone using something illegal. Not just the World Series winners. Every team. Every WS Champ has a stain.
- This doesn't invalidate what any team accomplished. It might make it less "heartwarming" or something like that. Or… not. I don't think Sox fans' views on 2004 and 2007 will materially change, just as I still look back at 1996, 1998-00 with great joy. Especially 1996 and 1998.
- According to Big Red: "David Ortiz lied to you. It seems safe to say that his entire Red Sox career is a lie". That's a bit over the top, even from a Yanks fan. Sure, he lied but that doesn't negate his entire career.
- Why on Earth did Ortiz say those things back in February and earlier about one year suspensions, not embarrassing his family, etc.? Are we to believe that Ortiz had no idea his name was on The List? Why would he take such a self-righteous stance, obviously lying to his fans?

The accumulation of material goods seems to be innate to human nature, but does all of this materialism actually make us happy? While some goods, like having a place to live and things to eat, contribute to our well-being, the majority of the clutter that people collect actually detracts from their ability to be happy according to a collection of studies completed over the last decade.
In fact, the true path to happiness is practicing gratitude. Gratitude has been empirically connected to happiness, and many positive psychologists believe that people who live a life full of gratitude see life from a more positive point of view and are more easily satisfied with the way things are than in the way they could be. One study even showed that grateful people were more likely to deemphasize negative memories by seeing them through a positive light.
Considered to be the opposite of gratitude, envy, which often leads to more materialism, detracts from feelings of well being and happiness. Gratitude, on the other hand, improves mood, makes material items less appealing, and enhances overall life satisfaction. While some researchers believe that those who live gratefully have stronger social networks that contribute to their overall well being, the most recent studies have shown that there is an inverse relationship between feelings of gratitude and feelings of materialism. The more grateful a person feels the less material items the person needs to be fulfilled. In other words, pursuing happiness through material means often backfires.
In fact, it has been shown in multiple positive psychology studies that those who focus on materialism as a means to obtain happiness often have lower self-esteem, more anxiety, and less self-actualization. Highly materialistic people are also less successful in personal relationships.
Because gratitude reduces the desire for materialistic items, training the mind to be more grateful can have broad applications in building better relationships, managing finances more effectively, and improving marriage.

AMSTERDAM — Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Ricardo Clark has completed a loan move to Norwegian top-flighters Stabæk through the end of July.
The Blue Ones, who start the new Tippeligaen season when Aalesund come to town on March 25, featured the US international in defensive midfield during Wednesday's 1-0 friendly win at Valencia. The club was originally planning to decide on acquiring Clark after the match, but jumped the gun to sign him on loan before it started.
"In Ricardo, we get an experienced player who can play in any position in midfield, plus he can play central defender," Stabæk sport director Inge André Olsen told the club website. "We have looked for a player who can strengthen us on the ground, and we definitely got that in Ricardo."
Clark, who remains signed with Eintracht until the summer of 2013, is expected to help fill the lineup void caused by Mikkel Diskerud's loan spell at Gent and the sale of Henning Hauger to Hannover 96 last summer. Stabæk finished 10th in the league last season, but currently stand poised to gain a 2012-13 Europa League invite through the UEFA Fair Play rankings.

Other panelists then focused on military dependents. Among the issues they addressed were the impact on families of the duration of deployments and the number of deployments, noting that duration seemed to have a greater negative effect on the family well-being. They also talked about possible policy changes and services to improve family life. They answered questions from the audience. close

December's experienced backpack sits on top of a pile of junk mail, circulars and printable coupon offers for discounts on a host of stuff. Promising great value, the marketing ploys entice us into believing we are going to get something for nothing, or at least next to nothing, or perhaps just severely discounted — if we hurry in now, while supplies last. We have inboxes teeming with unread spam suggesting that everything we could ever possibly want is only a click away. A buzzing smartphone reminds us of our December activities and obligations, meetings, parties and celebrations.
Tempted, by the contrast of its empirical nobility sitting among its temporal trash, we decide, naively, to peek inside the backpack. Perhaps we will find a planning app and a file folder inside the backpack to organize this mess? Well, as always, philosophy never disappoints in its ability to propose the reverse of whatever it is we think will be helpful.
December's backpack offers us insight into what we value, what we consider "worthy," rather than teaching us how to prioritize our existing resources. If we were looking for uncomplicated holiday cheer, December's pack isn't the place to find it. Instead, the satchel of the 12th month contains the Skeptic Scotsman, the great empiricist, David Hume, and all of his big December questions. This month, we focus on Hume's discussion about the heavy epistemological problems: Why do we value what we do? Where does our knowledge come from? And why do we consider some concepts more worthy of our acceptance than others? Why do we believe what we do? Hume's line of questioning encourages us to evaluate what really matters in our own existence, even if the process makes us royally uncomfortable.
It is easy to be lulled into a false sense of security with December's discourse. December charismatically encourages us to sit in front of a warm winter fire to enjoy its comforts. While doing so, it is easy to admit we value refuge. It is easy to consent that we clearly appreciate shelter. We are grateful and civil and amiable — even generous — when our needs are met and our bellies are full. We readily agree that December's sense of time, tradition and sanctified stories command our respect and can reflect our individual ideals and represent those of our community.
Then, a question is nobly, civilly and just slightly sneakily posed: Do we value our own refuge over the refuge of others? How do we justify our morality of worth? December's Socratic questioning begins and Hume's line of inquiry becomes hauntingly unnerving. Do we really comprehend what we say we value? Do we arbitrarily attribute worth based upon a misunderstanding of our impressions?
December and Hume do not skirt the difficult topics, they do not indulge our request just to pretend we care. We are denied our polite hope to avoid confrontation in order to escape awkward discourse. Rightfully associated with winter's wrath, December's questions determinedly and doggedly, if not charmingly, demand acknowledgment and relentlessly pursue answers. The snow is beautiful but the cold is terribly uncomfortable when inductive reasoning, according to Hume, is inherently flawed. The laws of nature are not going to cooperate with our manipulations, our invalid deductions.
Empiricism argues that experience is the source of all knowledge.
According to Douglas Soccio in "Archetypes of Wisdom," Hume differentiated "between two kinds of perceptions: ideas and impressions. All ideas can be traced to the impressions on which they are based. All ideas are derived from experience." This means, according to Hume, we run the risk of becoming creatures of habit, in a detrimental sense, when adopting systems of value.
In other words, as Jostein Gaarder's character explains in "Sophie's World," "Hume wanted people to sharpen their awareness." He goes on to say that he "would have added that the child has not yet become a slave of the expectations of habit: he is thus the more open-minded of you two. I wonder if the child is not also the greater philosopher? He comes utterly without preconceived opinions ... the philosopher's most distinguishing virtue. The child perceives the world as it is, without putting more into things than he experiences." Justifying prejudice and entitlement are examples of erroneously attributing value based upon misinterpretations of what was reasoned to be from, or deemed part of, the laws of nature.
As Dr. Gordon Marino opines in his book "Ethics," "Though Hume maintained that reason is required to develop general systems of ethics, he believed that the brick and mortar of a moral life was not our ability to reason but instead our ability to empathize." Isn't that, after all, what so many of December's powerful stories are trying to tell us? An interesting inversion of power from the great agnostic. Ironically, isn't the paradoxical nature of value, power and worth the focus of December's profound stories?
Perhaps this is why Hume reminded us while we can be many things — play many roles — we should remember that being human is what gives us our ability to experience what really matters. When we find the human experience valuable, we will understand more clearly what we find significant, what is possible, and simply put, what we find worthy. Hume's evaluation is not about faster, better, efficient or less expensive. It is about what we value.

Yeah, was a "nice try" by management to deflect away from their craappy operational results by not putting out an NR telling investors they are now available, and the very next day release exceptional drill results. They did have some ball mill issues etc., but claim those are now behind them. The projected $10 M c/f per month was pretty optimistic IMO. Hopefully they get things going better and maybe when things are more positive they will be better about keeping us informed. Did they even have a cc after the results? Anyways, looks like a good buy point her having lost $200 M in MC in 4 days.

Business Thrives As Owner Looks To Compete
Posted: January 22, 2013
"It's a whole new [thing] to teach something, [rather] than to learn it," says 20-year-old Seth Fawley, owner and head instructor of Elite Martial Arts in Bridgewater.
He opened his Bridgewater business in March 2012, when he was 19. Originally from Bridgewater, Fawley took his first martial arts class when he was 7.
He said he left that first session with a new purpose in life: "[I knew] this is what I want to do for the rest of my life."
'Dueling' Talents
Seth says he enjoys both aspects of his career, teaching and business.
Though, he says, a lot of instructors hide the business portion of running a dojo, he chooses to do the opposite: As students become more experienced, they begin to teach classes.
"I have two purple belts who are both in fifth grade, that teach full classes by themselves," says Fawley.
Martial arts is more beneficial than a lot of people think, he says. Classes offer more than fighting skills, including respect, confidence and discipline.
"The students have to have the ability to change their paths on their own. ... As long as they continue [to work], they will continue to benefit," says Fawley.
"He makes it fun, he's a good teacher — I guess that's why I like it so much," says Aaron Lolney, 11, a student of Fawley's.
Small Town, Big Aspirations
Fawley enjoys teaching in a small town.
"[It's a] close knit group of kids ... They practice together after school, and their parents all know each other. It's a way to include the community."
Fawley will be represent Bridgewater and Elite Martial Arts when he competes in the National Blackbelt League. He hopes to get some of his students involved in the future.
Fawley currently has a local sponsor, but is accepting others. For more information, contact Seth Fawley, Owner/Head Instructor at Elite Martial Arts, 101 South Main St., Bridgewater. Or call (540) 292-5353.

|Sorry it's taken me this long to reply... missed the post TD.
I do believe that if an officer resigns his commision and then heads home to join the enemy he is a man w/ honor. Wheras a man who resigns his commision AFTER he's worked against his nation is an entirely different manner. You hit the nail w/ Twiggs.
There was no doubt that had Fremont won the 1856 election there would have been Secession. But that has been gleamed from my readings on the Fremot campaign when I was trying to learn more about the man. It was about that time when I started coming upon hints & rumblings that 1860 was in the mix as early as 1856.
As to Davis and his postwar writings... I view them as largely political spin done in a effort to make himself look good and about as trustworthy as a... well you get the picture. I do believe that he was in it for the long haul towards the presidency of the US as I do feel strongly that he was an ambitious politician w/ an eye on the most powerul seat in the land. That he so suddenly removed himself from the 1860 Democratic ballot stumped me for quite a while and other readings over the years have led me to believe there was some backroom dealing to get him set as President of the fledgling CS. Davis was a political machine, a friend refers to him as "Bill Clinton w/ morals..." not something I quite agree w/ but upon reflection I can understand that view.
I had an opportunity to spend some time reading on his actions as Sect of War and he really was amazing in that role, accomplishing a LOT w/ almost nothing. To me there is a night and day difference between his political and Sect of War correspondence to the point that it almost seems like 2 different men... but that may just be me. His post war writings were not those of the same man who excedlled as a Sect of War, to me that makes sense as he was rather embittered and experiance had changed him, though I still see the political double speak that made him the politician he was in 1860.
Davis was an extrodinaryly (sp?) charismatic man, a superb speaker w/ a strong voice. Upton, while commandant of West Point, referred to him as a superb Company & Regimental level commander because of his charisma. I defer to Upton in that.
As I grow older I grow more cynical & jaded. I see a LOT of good that has come out of this country and would be quick to idolize the WW2 generation if I didn't believe they also gave us the 1960's generation. The treatment of the black, red & asian peoples by this country are IMO shameful, the tolerance of slavery and other such should make no man proud. But at the same time this country is better on so many levels than so many of her contempories & as disgusted as politicians make me I can think of no other place I'd rather live.
I hope that makes sense... I'm too !@#$% sober.

What's your salary? How much do you make?
For most Americans, it's impolite to ask. Many would tell you it's nobody's business but their own - a number known only to the individual, his or her employer, tax and loan professionals, and maybe a few others.
At the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, then, a measure of unease was to be expected when Gannett Wisconsin Media unveiled its public-salary database project. Although we respect the public's right to know, some employees perceived a privacy issue. A few questioned the need to attach names to titles, or wondered why state employees ...

New Test Spots Infections in Hours, Rather than Days
Page 2 of 2
T2 Biosystems's nanoparticle labels can also be tailored to detect a wide variety of pathogens, as well as cancer cells and other biomarkers, including hormones. The company chose to target the infectious fungus Candida for its first product because it sees rapid detection as an unmet need that could motivate hospitals to invest in the instrument. The company has not yet disclosed the price of the device, which it plans to launch in 2012.
In the United States, about 60,000 patients a year contract candidemia—meaning Candida is present in the blood—and about 40 percent of these patients die from it. Studies have shown that intervening in 12 hours instead of a few days reduces candidemia mortality rates to 11 percent, says T2 Biosystems CEO John McDonough. He hopes that intervening in the two hours it takes to perform a test with his company's device might have an even greater benefit. In tests on blood spiked with Candida, the T2 detection system detected the fungus 95 percent of the time and with a 98 percent specificity.
"Candida is a bad player if you have it in your blood," says Philip Norris, associate director of the Blood Systems Research Institute at the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center. Infections tend to happen in patients who are already very sick, including those with compromised immune systems and people undergoing chemotherapy. While Norris says it will be necessary to wait for the results of the clinical trial, large hospitals are likely to invest in the instrument "if it speeds up the diagnosis of really bad diseases like candidemia."
T2 Biosystems has raised $30 million in venture funding so far, and is partnering with other companies working on biomarker tests that could be adapted for the magnetic-detection platform. The company will finalize the detection system this summer and will seek approval for the machinery and the Candida test from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration next year.

We had a great week at clowance estate, fantastic surroundings for the children to run play and explore. Very quiet around the lodge and private. The use of facilities is great value for money as they are all included in the price, boys loved the pool, we had a treatment also at the beauty spa- definitely recommend! The only downside of the holiday is the only entertainment for the children was Monday, wed and thurs morning, it would have been lovely if something for the children i.e a disco could have been put on, I feel the evening entertainment is definitely aimed at the more senior guests.

A lovely lodge in a very nice setting.
Fantastic stay at clowance my husband and I have been here 5 times now and we brought our children and grandchildren with us this time the youngest two being one all enjoyed the facility's and the restaurant entertainment highly recommend
The site is conveniently located for beaches and other holiday activities.
Stunning setting and well maintained gardens with lake.
So peaceful and friendly.
There are a lot of rules and regulations- I needed to accompany my 12 year old to the pool if he wanted to swim - dispite him bringing s very competent swimmer - sauna only open in the evening
Staff great, location wonderful. Good swimming and gym facilities.
No mobile signal.
Terrible wi-fi arrangements. WiFi in the bar area slow and overloaded. No Wi-Fi in the lodges, which should be high speed and included for free.
We had a fantastic holiday, Clowance Estate is excellent.
Beautiful surroundings, lovely apartment & great facilities!
We had a great time at Clowance...the facilities were of a good standart, staff was friendly..we'll recommend it to friends and family
We loved the estate. It felt very quiet, despite the accommodation being fully book, and an excellent amount of space to walk around in. We enjoyed feeding the ducks by the lake and took a twilight walk in the woods animal spotting. We didn't use a massive amount of the facilities on offer but they all looked good quality.
It is out on a limb and you need your own transport, however, beaches are easily reached and it is a beautiful part of the country. We had visitors over and they were also impressed with the estate.
We found the accommodation well stocked and it was a big step up from being in a caravan. If you want a quiet, central base to explore I would thoroughly recommend the Clowance Estate.
My only negative was that the golf course was a little rustic and overpriced for what it was. We did enjoy one game on it and that was probably enough.
Lovely place to stay, very quiet in the countryside. Staff very friendly and the location is central to most locations in west Cornwall. The accommodation was good and would recommend .
A beautiful estate home & grounds which have been thoughtfully laid out to provide excellent accommodation with privacy. Excellent facilities, we particularly enjoyed taking one of the courtesy rowing boats out onto the lake with the swan, ducks, heron & kingfisher all making an appearance. A good location & no mobile phone signal (perfect)

Austin Peay's Nicole Olszewski, left, and Jennifer Nwokocha defend a drive against Murray State in a loss to the Racers earlier this season.
- Filed Under
It's not hard to tell what part of the game Austin Peay has improved most in its last two games.
Sure, the Lady Govs are shooting better and scored 73.5 points per game, compared to only 62.5 during their 10-game losing streak. But the bigger difference has come on the defensive end, where opponents have gone from 83 points per game to just 65.5 in losses for Morehead State and Eastern Illinois.
Weaker offenses have surely been a factor, but the numbers have also been inflated some by late 3-point shooting and fouls to extend the game when the outcome had already been decided. Morehead and Eastern ...

Peachy Keens restaurant in Swansea admits hygiene breaches
Posted: November 17, 2012|
CITY centre restaurant Peachy Keens has admitted failing to protect food from contamination which could have left it unfit for people to eat.
One World Buffet, which runs the restaurant in Little Wind Street, Swansea, pleaded guilty to four charges of breaching food hygiene rules at Swansea Magistrates' Court.
Prosecutors decided not to proceed with five other charges.
The company said the problems were inherited and when inspectors visited on November 8, 2011, they had only taken over a number of weeks before.
Charges against the company's director, Anand Prakash, 39, were withdrawn by prosecutors.
The company pleaded guilty to four breaches of the Food Hygiene (Wales) Regulations 2006.
It admitted failing to keep the food premises clean and maintained in good repair and condition.
The second charge was that it failed to ensure that all articles, fittings and equipment with which food came into contact with were effectively cleaned and were disinfected.
The third charge the company admitted was that it failed to ensure that all stages of production, processing and distribution were protected against any contamination, likely to render the food unfit for human consumption.
The fourth charge was that the company failed to put in place, implement and maintain a permanent procedure based on HACCP — food hygiene — principles.
Speaking after the hearing, at Swansea Magistrates' Court, Mr Prakash said: "These occurred about a year ago when, a very short time before, we had taken over the restaurant. We inherited structural issues from the old company and there have been very extensive interventions since. There are no longer any issues."
The company will be sentenced at a hearing in front of magistrates on November 26.

This book is a popular introduction to each of the 73 books of the Bible designed to help the reader grow in the knowledge and love of God's Word. The introduction to each book includes the time frame and author, the theme, a summary of the contents and some comments about the context in which it was written, the theology of the book, an outline, and a prayer taken from the book. Fr. Baker provides quick access to essential information the daily or occasional reader of sacred scripture should find helpful.
The book may also be of help to more advanced students who wish to refresh their memory of a particular book of the Bible. By carefully reading Inside the Bible one can have a thumbnail summary of each book of the Bible at his fingertips.
"Many Catholics revere the Bible without reading it. They find themselves paralyzed, not knowing where to start reading. Fr. Kenneth Baker comes to the rescue. In brief synopses of the 73 books he guides new readers through the threshold and shows them how they can move forward on their own. Inside the Bible will transform almost-readers into avid readers of the sacred text." —Karl Keating, Author, What Catholics Really Believe
Fr. Kenneth Baker, S.J., is the editor of Homiletic and Pastoral Review and author of the 3-volume series Fundamentals of Catholicism.
Fr. Kenneth Baker, S.J., was for many years the editor of Homiletic and Pastoral Review, the premiere magazine for clergy and laity interested in pastoral issues for today's Church. He is the author of Inside the Bible and Fundamentals of Catholicism.

|The timing of demise in fetuses with trisomy 21 and trisomy 18.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 16032775 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: Women with chromosomally abnormal fetuses often choose to continue their pregnancy. However, though they may search for specific details whether their fetus will survive, not much information is available. We sought to determine if there was a pattern for timing of demise and to determine if demise was more likely to occur before viability in fetuses with amniocentesis confirmed trisomy 18 or 21. METHODS: From the California Expanded AFP screening program, 1813 women were identified to have a fetus with trisomy 18 or 21. Of these, 392 women with trisomy 21 and 106 with trisomy 18 continued the pregnancy. Pregnancies ending in fetal demise were analyzed for gestational age at demise. RESULTS: Of the trisomy 21 fetuses, 40 (10.2%) demised and of the trisomy 18 fetuses, 34 (32.1%) demised. The mean gestational age at time of fetal demise was 28.9+/-1.3 weeks SE for trisomy 21 and 32.1+/-1.2 weeks SE for trisomy 18 (p=0.09). There was no clustering of losses as losses were uniformly distributed throughout gestation after 24 weeks. A slightly larger proportion of T-21 (37.1%) losses occurred before viability (24 weeks) compared to those with T-18 (14.8%) (p=0.05). CONCLUSION: It appears that after 24 weeks' gestation, there is no specific time for fetal demise in fetuses affected by trisomy 21 or 18. There may be an association between trisomy 21 and stillbirth prior to viability. This information may be helpful in counseling those patients found to have a chromosomally abnormal fetus who choose to continue their pregnancy.
