The effects of a 7% fructose solution were compared with those of a 7% dextrose solution, both with 120 meq/litre sodium, during four consecutive exchanges in 14 patients. The increase in blood total reducing substance and serum osmolality was significantly less marked with fructose than dextrose solution. There was no increase in serum sodium concentration. Three diabetic patients tolerated 48-hour peritoneal dialysis with a 1.5% fructose solution containing 140 meq/litre sodium. Blood total reducing substances did not exceed 250 mg/100 ml. There was no increase in blood uric acid concentration or decrease in venous blood pH. The peritoneal absorption of fructose was similar to that of glucose. A fructose dialysis solution may be indicated for diabetic patients and those who develop a hyperglycemic and hyperosmotic condition with dextrose solutions.

Carmelo Anthony rumors were addressed by the star of the New York Knicks himself Wednesday (Jan. 29). La La Anthony started the rumors by stating that she felt her husband was going to re-sign with the team during the offseason. According to a report from late Wednesday from CBS, he supports everything that she had to say. It's certainly a good move on his part, even if it doesn't settle the debate about what he will do next.
Paul Pierce Could Go Back To Boston Celtics?
The 2014 NBA All-Star took to Twitter to state, "That's my wife. I support her. I support what she said. I don't think she said anything wrong. It's a good thing for her to say that. Go get the book." He made the smart move by walking in step with the comments his wife and friends have made about his basketball future and it clearly shows that he knows how to handle the press. It isn't going to stop the stories about what he could do in free agency this offseason though.
Much like how LeBron James and Dwight Howard kept analysts and fans guessing about what they would do when free agency came calling, the various Carmelo Anthony rumors show he is keeping his options open. The New York Knicks can offer the most money up-front in a new deal, but most players want to at least test free agency to see what else is out there. It's also a gambit to make sure the front office in New York is doing everything possible to field a competitive team.
Though the Knicks have definitely struggled this season, the team is on a three-game winning streak and has drawn to within one game of the eight playoff slot in the Eastern Conference. Making the postseason and getting to the second round could go a long way to convincing him to continue calling Madison Square Garden home court.

Sixteen year old Michaela Wells has been missing since 8:30 Sunday evening, when she walked out of her Bellevue, Nebraska home to take out the trash. Authorities don't think there is any reason for concern, but the teen beauty queen's friends and family are shocked by her absence, saying it is completely out of character for her to disappear. "It's not like Michaela to disappear without telling us," said her mother, Theresa Norris. Theresa believes that her daughter not contacting her shows that she has been taken against her will.
It wouldn't be unheard of for a teenager to disappear for a few days, spending time with friends and doing things teenagers do. But is that the case in this situation? By her actions prior to her disappearance, there seems to be no indication that Michaela had any plans to be gone. She had been shopping with her mother, finding a dress for her next pageant. She was also looking forward to an upcoming dance she had been invited to attend and had made plans with friends that were to occur this week. She was not adequately dressed for the extremely frigid temperatures on Sunday evening. Lastly, she left her cell phone in the house. That may be the most telling clue of all. What teenager doesn't take their phone when they leave the house?
Bellevue police spokeswoman Laurie Synowiecki said, "At this time there is no evidence to indicate Michaela left her residence against her own will or that foul play is involved." Even so, isn't a missing teenager cause for a little more concern? As Miss Nebraska Teen, she has been in the public eye, participating in beauty pageants. Is it possible that she has attracted someone with sinister intentions? It seems that they have been a bit hasty to give up the search. The first 24-72 hours are the most crucial when you have a missing person, and that time frame will come to an end tonight. Have the Bellevue police really done enough to be sure that something terrible hasn't happened to Michaela?
A news conference has been scheduled for 4:30 pm Wednesday, with the Bellevue police expected to give an update in the case. Is Michaela really fine right now, just taking some time for herself? Or is there a need for more alarm, as there is a child missing? Hopefully there is a positive outcome in this case, as opposed to the many missing people who are just never found.
Michaela is 5'6" tall and weighs 120 pounds. She has brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing jeans, black slip on pumps, and a black tanktop with a teal overshirt. She was also wearing a long red coat. If you have seen Michaela Wells or have any information about her disappearance, call the Bellevue Police Department at (402)293-3100.

National Post ·
Nothing's impossible, I have found For when my chin is on the ground I pick myself up, dust myself off, And start all over again
-- From Pick Yourself Up, sung by Frank Sinatra (circa 1962), music by Jerome Kern, lyrics by Dorothy Fields
Frank Sinatra, you would think, would be more a George W. Bush kind of guy. But there he was, Ol' Blue Eyes, strolling into Barack Obama's inaugural address--midway between a line about "narrow interests" and the need for new "electric grids"-- crooning through the chorus of Pick Yourself Up.
"Starting today," said President Obama, "we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America." And why not? The tune is a solid classic from the Great American Songbook, first performed as a flamboyant display of typical American optimism by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in the 1936 Depression-era film, Swing Time.
Maybe Mr. Obama saw it more as an uplifting Depression era number, harking back to the inauguration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1933. But likely not, because Mr. Obama's inaugural address was no rerun of FDR, with his "nothing to fear but fear itself " fear-mongering and his New Deal harangue against the evils of the markets and capitalism.
In Mr. Obama's words, "Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age." On the subject of markets, Mr. Obama said: "Nor is the question before us whether the market is a force for good or ill. Its power to generate wealth and expand freedom is unmatched."
Compare those careful and mostly true words with the slothful and menacing rhetoric of FDR, who inveighed against the "Practices of the unscrupulous money changers [who] stand indicted in the court of public opinion, rejected by the hearts and minds of men." These money changers, said FDR, have "fled from their high seats in the temple of our civilization." They have been "stripped of the lure of profit by which to induce our people to follow their false leadership."
Where FDR issued blanket condemnations of "mere monetary profit" and the "falsity of material wealth," President Obama narrowed to "some" and limited the scope of government action to areas that have already long been the focus of of government intervention. There is nothing exactly radical in Mr. Obama's talk of government promotion of electricity grids and new technology, digital commerce and health care.
While markets and competition might be sources of progress in these areas, Mr. Obama did notclaim-- as FDRdid-- to have a grand market-destroying plan for the whole economy.
Mr. Obama also held close to themes that have dominated presidential inaugurals for many years -- themes that reflect a lot more of George W. Bush than the legend of FDR.
Consider this: "In America's ideal of freedom, the public interest depends on private character -- on integrity, and tolerance toward others, and the rule of conscience in our own lives .... That edifice of character is built in families, supported by communities with standards, and sustained in our national life by the truths of Sinai, the Sermon on the mount, the words of the Koran, and the varied faiths of our people." So said President George W. Bush in his 2005 inaugural.
How different is President Obama's comment yesterday? "For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus -- and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth ...."
Or compare Presidents Bush and Obama on other issues.
Bush 2005 "My most solemn duty is to protect this nation and its people from further attacks and emerging threats. Some have already chosen to test America's resolve, and found it firm."
Obama 2009 "We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defence, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you."
Bush 2005 "Today, America speaks anew to the peoples of the world: All who live in tyranny and hopelessness can know: The United States will not ignore your oppression, or excuse your oppressors. When you stand for your liberty, we will stand with you."
Obama 2009 "To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society's ills on the West, know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist. "
Bush 2005 "This is not primarily the task of arms, though we will defend ourselves and our friends by force of arms when necessary ... America will not impose our own style of government on the unwilling."
Obama 2009 "Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism and communism not just with missiles and tanks, but with sturdy alliances and enduring convictions."
Much more binds the language of the two presidents, including the continuation of a tradition. American arrogance and self-aggrandizement have long troubled other nations, even Americans themselves. Mr. Obama shows no signs of abandoning the idea that America embodies the best ideals the world has to offer. "We are keepers of this legacy" of freedom and power, "which grows through its prudent use."
If Mr. Obama's words have value, and we cannot yet know whether they will or even clearly grasp what his words mean, then the long line of liberals and progressives who think the new president will usher in a New New Deal may well be in for disappointment. He certainly promises a return to some form of liberalism, but it may not even be as radical as the 1960s version that Conservative William F. Buckley wrote about in Up From Liberalism in 1959. Indeed, President Obama sometimes sounds like a moderate conservative.

How risky is police work?
July 02, 1999
Almost 150 police officers died from injuries on the job each year, on average, from 1992 through 1997. Homicides and highway crashes contributed to three-quarters of these fatalities. Other transportation incidents including helicopter crashes and being struck by vehicles were the next most common events leading to a fatality.
[Chart data—TXT]
The rate of fatal workplace injuries to police officers and other law enforcement personnel averaged about 14 per 100,000 employed for the period 1992-97, compared to an average rate of 5 per 100,000 employed for all occupations. The fatality rate for law enforcement was fairly stable over the 6-year period. In 1995, however, the rate increased to almost 17 fatalities per 100,000 employed, due in part to the deaths of 14 police officers in the Oklahoma City bombing. Then, in 1996 the rate dropped to a low of just under 11 fatalities per 100,000 workers.
These data are a product of the BLS Safety and Health Statistics Program. Additional information is available in "Fatalities to Law Enforcement Officers and Firefighters, 1992-97" (PDF 43K), Compensation and Working Conditions, Summer 1999.

Baptism might not have exactly saved this baby's life, but it showed his family the power of love and faith.
As a religious educator, I have always taught that Baptism can be administered in an emergency by anyone with the right intentions using the ancient trinitarian formula. I never imagined, of course, that I would be that person, baptizing not a stranger but my own flesh and blood, my grandson.

'Dirty Dancing' reunion
Lake Lure's star dust at Saluda Jamboree
Published: Sunday, September 23, 2007 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, September 23, 2007 at 12:00 a.m.
You just might have the time of your life at Dirty Dancing Tribute: A 20th Anniversary Celebration, which will commemorate the 1987 hit movie primarily filmed at Lake Lure.
Want to go?
For more information or to purchase tickets, call the Saluda Mountain Jamboree at (828) 749-3676.
Tickets will also be available at Cathy Jackson Realty on Main Street, Saluda.
The celebration will take place from 8 p.m. to midnight Friday, Oct. 12, at the Saluda Mountain Jamboree, Friendship Church Road, Saluda, and will include appearances from some of the original cast, musicians, dancers, plus photos and props.
Owners of the 12,000 square foot Saluda Mountain Jamboree, Bob and Linda Whitaker, hope the celebration will sell out. They've already had folks purchasing tickets from as far away as Florida and Myrtle Beach and Charleston, S.C.
Extras and original dancers from Dirty Dancing who have stopped by the Jamboree say the setting works well.
"Everybody that comes in gets this ambiance feeling -- like it's deja vu," Linda says, referring to the folks who were involved with the film.
The only difference is that the Jamboree is bigger and has air conditioning compared to Lure Woods, the old clubhouse used in Dirty Dancing.
The Whitakers are hoping to draw a good crowd from Lake Lure.
"It is Lake Lure's star dust," Linda says. "It's going to be a big night."
Clips from the movie will be playing throughout the night, and the evening's entertainment will feature appearances from some of the movie's original cast, who have yet to be announced, and live music by Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs. The band's version of the song Stay was used as part of the soundtrack for the hit movie.
It was one of the largest selling soundtracks that ever came out of Hollywood, Linda says. Williams' song Little Darlin' was also one of the top five selling songs of the 1950s.
A dance troupe called the A-Lure Dirty Dancers will also perform at the nostalgic celebration. The A-Lure Dancers were part of the Lake Lure Inn's Dirty Dancing Review, which provided weekly entertainment for a few years following the release of the movie.
"They'll be dancing to the sound track of the movie," Linda says.
The A-Lure Dirty Dancers have toured nationally and been featured in numerous newspapers, magazines and television networks. They will take center stage during the celebration and encourage attendees to get their feet moving, too.
"The dance floor will be open to the public," Bob says. "If it feels good, do it!"
John Mojjis, who owned the Lake Lure Inn when the movie was filmed, will share some memories and the history of the movie during the celebration.
And Harry Turner, a native of Greenville, S.C., credited with the idea for the anniversary celebration, will serve as the event's emcee. Turner, who now works in North Myrtle Beach, is president of the Beach Music Association and wrote a book titled This Magic Moment -- Musical Reflections of a Generation. During the late '80s and early '90s, he served as the DJ and emcee for the Dirty Dancing Review. The Review became a sellout every week after the movie became a success.
"The little seed just sprouted and grew from there," Linda says.
A local celebrity, Jim "Spanky" Miller from the 103.3 WOLT-FM radio show based in Greenville, S.C., will work as the event's disc jockey.
"There's going to be something going all the time -- it's not going to be quiet in here," Linda says.
And the celebration may become an annual event.
"If the Dirty Dancing Tribute does well, we're going to do another Dirty Dancing Tribute," Linda says. "We just want everybody to have a good time."
A limited number of premium table seats are $45 each. All other seats are $30 each. Raffle tickets for special prizes, souvenir programs and Turner's book This Magic Moment, will be sold during the event. Concessions including hotdogs, candy, popcorn, soft drinks and beer/wine also will be available.

It's that time of year that parents dream about. The season that moms and dads secretly start planning how they will spend their time is just around the corner. Yes, children of all ages will soon be heading back to school and parents across the country will do the happy dance and throw confetti as Madeline and Max board the bus to a day spent studying reading, writing and arithmetic.
For many, however, the start of a new school year means tears, threats and frustration. Children who aren't fans of reading or who struggle making sense of the words on the page of an assigned book often have parents who want to help but aren't sure what to do. The task of getting your child to read more and enjoy what they read doesn't have to be a dreaded chore, though. Here are some tips from the folks at Reading is Fundamental and the Children's Fiction Examiner.
Reading aloud to your child is one of the most-effective tools to creating a book lover. Also when your child sees you reading, it sends a positive message about books.
Find books that are about a topic your child is interested in. If your daughter loves looking at fossils or visiting the natural history museum, look for both fiction and non-fiction books on the topic. Same holds true for your son who dreams of being the next Gordon Ramsey or Jamie Oliver.
Take trips to the library together. Even if your pre-teen chooses to read magazines about the latest celebrity heart-throb or the most-current fashions, remember: your child is reading.
Have kids research the next family vacation and ask them to present their discoveries at the dinner table. Encourage them to find out the history of the location, how long it will take to get there using different types of transportation and what activities the family can try once they get there.
Choose award-winning books for your child as gifts and rewards. When they ace that spelling test or as a treat for keeping their room clean, let them choose a book or surprise them with the next title in their favorite series.
Before you know it, your child will be sneaking a flashlight into their room at night to read under the covers.

Oregon 6, Arizona State 5
#28 Marcus Piazzisi
"We just gave them a little too much, but we battled back and came out with the win. It was a team effort all around. The pitching was phenomenal."
"We battled and didn't have a pity party. We were able to keep it going."
On the last hit:
"I stayed focused, got my hands on it and put it up the middle. It's definitely something I'll remember forever."
"I haven't heard a lot about last year. We are moving on and all going in the same direction."
On his and Eddie Rodriguez' contributions:
"We both felt like we owed it to the team to come back in the clutch."
Oregon Head Coach George Horton
"That was ugly but we'll take it. It was well earned. The warriors that they [Arizona State] were coming back. That would have been a devastating loss."
"I am proud of my team. They could have folded, and I think last year's team would have folded. Those kind of games are frustrating."
"It was a grinding victory and I am really proud of my guys."
On Eddie Rodriguez:
"I told him after the game that I was glad we won it for him. That was a good play after a devastating inning."
"We'll remember this game."

Grading the New Orleans Saints in their 41-26 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the wild-card round of the NFC playoffs Saturday in Seattle.
It's hard to criticize a team that scores 36 points, racks up 474 yards and makes seven trips inside the 10-yard line. But clearly the Saints' offense didn't do enough to win. They settled for field goals on three of those trips inside the 10. Tailback Julius Jones fumbled once. Four other drives ended in punts. And the injury-ravaged run game averaged just 3.5 yards per carry (22 rushes for 77 yards), including being stopped on fourth-and-inches. The Saints were flagged for three false-start penalties inside the notoriously loud Qwest Field. Receiver Devery Henderson caught a team-high seven passes for 77 yards and a touchdown to make up for his struggles as a kickoff returner. Jones had a solid day, aside from the fumble, running 15 times for 59 yards and catching six passes for 61 yards. Reggie Bush wasn't much of a factor, even before he left the game with a leg injury in the third quarter. He ran five times for 12 yards and caught five passes for 37 yards.
Defense: ½ fleur-de-lis
They get credit for two big moments: cornerback Jabari Greer's interception on the Seahawks' opening drive; and a big three-and-out that kept the Saints in the game after they turned the ball over on downs in the fourth quarter. Aside from that, it was a disastrous effort. They gave up an incredible amount of big plays -- including three first-half touchdown passes to wide-open receivers against busted coverage. Then they let Seattle tailback Marshawn Lynch put the final nail in the coffin with a 67-yard touchdown run. Eight Saints got at least a hand on Lynch, and at least six of them had a legitimate shot at a tackle. Safety Roman Harper was the most noticeable victim on two of the passing plays. A third came against busted zone coverage. The Saints' lack of a pass rush didn't help matters. Seattle quarterback Matt Hasselbeck threw for 272 yards with four touchdowns, one pick and just one sack. Lynch finished with 131 yards on 19 carries.
Special teams: 1 fleur-de-lis
The grade may seem low, given kicker Garrett Hartley (three field goals made) and punter Thomas Morstead (44.8 net average) played well. But the return game was awful. The anemic production on kickoff returns was cited twice by Coach Sean Payton as a sore point, and quarterback Drew Brees said the Saints being forced to begin deep in their own territory made crowd noise even more of an issue (the Saints were flagged for three false starts). Lance Moore returned two punts for 11 yards.
Coaching: 2 fleurs-de-lis
Offensively, the Saints were quite productive, and the team came out crisply, opening up leads of 10-0 and 17-7. Overall, the production on offense matched or exceeded Seattle's. But the repeated breakdowns on coverage and some odd play-calling hurt New Orleans badly. When Payton decided to go for it on fourth-and-inches in the third quarter, the team opted for a handoff deep in the backfield to Julius Jones. He failed to get back to the line of scrimmage. Similarly, a pass that was close to a lateral to Devery Henderson seemed a poor choice on third down near the goal line in the fourth quarter and, if you're down to the last running back on your roster, why give him the ball for a critical two-point conversion?

Transmitted Through Ronna Herman, LM-12-2012
Returning to the narrow path of ascension in consciousness is the beginning of transcending opposites where there is no good or bad, right or wrong, only harmonious personal choices within the accepted spectrum of duality. As a functioning Self-master you are learning to choose only the best choices for the benefit of ALL. It is vital that you free yourself from the strong, constricting forces of the solar plexus, which creates the push-pull interaction with others who are living in the third- / fourth-dimensional reality. You must strive to become harmless in order to tap into the wondrous God frequencies of Light stored within your Sacred Heart. First comes neutrality after which, over time, your capacity for love will increase to include all levels of creation. Gradually, as you tap into the more refined levels of your mental nature, you will begin to understand and integrate the many symbols and geometric patterns of the fifth dimension. Knowledge, talent and a high I.Q. does not create a genius. It takes concentration, courage, perseverance, tenacity and an ongoing drive, along with integrity, to tap into your spiritual genius potential. You must tap into and pursue your desire for excellence and strive to live your passion to the very best of your ability.
You are living in extraordinary times. To one degree or another, every human Being's Soul-self is straining to be released from the prison of thought forms that were placed around the physical/mental and emotional vessel at birth. The strain of bondage is affecting all of humanity. The ego creates the illusion of separation and instills a fear of nonexistence, which creates a self-centered drive for survival: "me verses everything that is not me." Awareness of the vaster Self begins with the Soul's nudgings to explore beyond the limitations of the ego-self.
Striving to know one's true Self can be a wondrous adventure or a painful, seemingly never-ending journey. Too often those who are struggling with the early stages of Self-mastery find that they cannot stand the pressure of the dramatic changes taking place within their personal world, and so they shift back into the frequency patterns which are comfortable. Even though they are dissatisfied and unhappy with their current personal reality, it is familiar territory, and they are not ready to move beyond the strong bonds of the mass consciousness belief patterns. These fragments of self that each of you has created are very strong-willed, and for many dear Souls it is a difficult struggle to gain control of the lower self. Those still stuck in the "herd state of consciousness" follow their leaders without question. They take the path of least resistance, which has already been established by others. They follow the ways of the past, for they fear the future.
As you access the more refined domains of expression, your knowledge and use of Light, Sound, color and, especially, the important Sacred Breath will greatly increase and will become an integral part of your spiritual philosophy of life. We implore you to take advantage of all the tools of mastery that we are supplying, for all of you are at a critical stage in the evolution process. The physical structure of those still mired in the third- / fourth-dimensional environment are in great distress as more and more strange maladies emerge. The origins and cause of many of these maladies cannot be diagnosed, and the traditional methods and drugs will not heal them. Therefore, the medical experts are becoming more frustrated and puzzled as to why so many new chronic conditions, for which there seems to be no permanent cure, are affecting the masses.
You must endeavor to shift from self-judgment to Self-love, which creates a resonance that extends beyond the physical body and begins to affect others. When it grows forceful enough, it can even assist in the healing process for those within your sphere of influence. The human body is a magnetic pole within the spectrum of Light and shadow or within the positive and negative forces of cosmic electromagnetic energy. The physical vessel is a complex organism which contains the Essence elements of all the lower dimensions: mineral, vegetable and animal, as well as the Stardust elements of Creator Light.
You have learned your lessons well, my sweet friends. You are mastering the ability to govern your thoughts and keep your emotions on an even keel. You have learned that pure Love must originate in the wellspring of the Sacred Heart, and you must first honor and love yourself before you can radiate this blessed gift to others. You are making great strides at becoming nonjudgmental and discerning as you allow situations and interactions with others to flow around you. You are fine-tuning your Inner Awareness so that you quickly garner the wisdom that is to be derived from the events of the moment. You are gradually beginning to sense the serenity and the magic of the higher dimensions as you weave in and out of the different levels and harmonic frequencies of consciousness.
Yes, there are still many lessons to be learned, and there always will be. However, you now have the insight to see the justice and perfection in the dance and drama of life that you must experience each day. You are being prepared to take a giant leap INWARD, OUTWARD and FORWARD, beloveds. The time has come for you to assume your proper role in this great event called, the Ascension of Earth and humankind. Your Light Quotient must blaze forth so that it can connect with that of other en-LIGHTEN-ed Beings, and in doing so it will gain strength and momentum. Eventually it will permeate and infuse the Crystalline Etheric Web of your home planet so that ALL will benefit from the CREATOR LIGHT OF TRANSFORMATION.
Remember, using your "LOVE POTENTIAL" means sharing your earthly talents, gifts and riches with others. Love is the catalyst for Creation. By igniting the Adamantine Particles of Light which have been allotted to you and then sharing the resulting fruits of your labor with those around you, a steady flow of Sacred Fire Light to and through you will be assured. It is important that you understand the power and magnitude of the refined Creator Light as well as knowing how to use it effectively. Adamantine particles are much finer than the oxygen you breathe. When done properly, it could be called Soul breathing or breathing with intention whereby you breathe in the elements of Creation, energize them with your loving intention, and then radiate them forth into the world of physicality. In our last message we told you: The SACRED WHITE COSMIC FIRE, Adamantine Particles, that you magnetize to you as an awakened Self-master must continually circulate. Only a certain amount, that which is appropriate for each Soul to integrate at his/her current level of en-LIGHTEN-ment, can be stored within the physical vessel; the balance must be RAY-diated out into the world of form.
As a gift, to assist you in the integration of the maximum amount of Creator Light, we have asked our beloved messenger to share a process that we inspired her to create. This is a gift of great magnitude; however, as with all the tools we offer to you, you must make use of them if they are to be effective.
I am honored to assist you to traverse the twists and turns you must endure on the ever-upward path of Ascension.. Won't you join me as a standard bearer in this, the advanced phase of expression and learning on planet Earth, as you prepare to move back into the realms of higher consciousness so that you may reclaim your Divine Birthright? Reach outward, beloved ones, reach inward as well, we are waiting to shower upon you all the love and gifts from our Mother/Father God that you can absorb.
Every morning between 5:00 and 5:30 AM, I walk out to our driveway to pick up the morning paper. As I walk to the driveway, I do twelve, deep INFINITY BREATHS. Sometimes, I keep them inside my body, from the Root Chakra to the Crown. Other times, I am guided to send them out into the skies and deep within the Earth as far as they will go. I face East, toward the rising Sun (even though it may still be dark outside), and I do the FIVE X FIVE * BREATH OF REJUVENATION. As I walk back into the house, I say the affirmation series given below three times, breathing the ACCORDION BREATH EXERCISE** as I say each word.
Before I come back inside, I move my consciousness into my Sacred Heart Center, and express my gratitude to our Father/Mother God–not in words, but through my feelings of great love, compassion and overwhelming gratitude and joy..
My heart and entire Solar Power Center swells with a sense of overwhelming love so powerfully sweet that it is beyond description. I know, without a doubt, that a Crystal Seed Atom filled with the Essence of our Father/Mother God resides within my Sacred Heart Core.
As many of you know, I am now in my 84th journey around the Sun. However, I have an over-abundance of energy and my health and vitality are excellent. I also know that this blessing is due to my constant practice of the many wonderful techniques that Archangel Michael has blessed us with. I am excited about our future.
You do not have to do the full routine as I practice it (such as first doing twelve Infinity Breaths or going outdoors), and you do not have to do it every day although I highly recommend that you do so. However, the exercise for the FIVE X FIVE BREATH OF REJUVENATION and for sending SEED THOUGHTS into our FLOWER OF LIFE CREATOR WHEEL** should be followed as Archangel Michael has instructed us to do so.
We feed our body food/fuel regularly and it is just as important, if not more so, that we FEED OUR SOUL on a regular basis. Let us all endeavor to make 2013 a year of miracles, blessings, loving interaction and joy. Let's show the world what can be created using "ANGEL POWER." Eternal love and angel blessings, Ronna

J. Desmond Clark
It is indeed with a heavy heart
that I reminisce about times spent with Desmond in China. I was
extremely fortunate to enter into the Doctoral program in Anthropology
at Berkeley in the mid 1980s, at a time when Desmond was just finishing
his teaching career. I was able to enroll in one of his last seminars
and was thus introduced to the immense knowledge he possessed of
all things archaeological. My area of specialty being China and
having a knack for the language, I was able to lend a hand during
Prof. Jia Lanpo's visit to Berkeley to attend the series of lectures
and events surrounding Desmond's "retirement" (put in
quotes, since Desmond did anything but retire at that time).
Desmond and Prof Jia immediately
"hit it off". Both of these legendary figures in the annals
of archaeology shared in having decades of archaeological field
experience, immense storehouses of knowledge, and many mutual friends
and acquaintances. But even more importantly, they shared a deep
and abiding commitment to scholarly exchange and mutual respect
between peoples. The meeting between Desmond and Prof. Jia set in
motion a chain of events that eventually led to many trips to China,
including extensive site visits to localities in Hebei, Shanxi,
Shaanxi, and Yunnan provinces among others. The climax of his work
in China was the four summer field seasons spent in the Nihewan
basin, west of Beijing, where joint field excavations were conducted
with Chinese colleagues of some of the earliest human material remains
in all East Asia. These excavations were the first opportunity that
foreign archaeologists had to work in the field in China with Chinese
colleagues since the hey-day of excavations at the Peking Man site
at Zhoukoudian in the 1930s. The Nihewan project could never have
come to fruition if it hadn't been for the great camaraderie that
Desmond and Prof. Jia were able to establish. Their concern and
respect for each other were palpable and Desmond was deeply moved
by Prof. Jia's recent death at age 92 in Beijing. With the loss
of Prof. Jia, and now Desmond, the precedent setting Nihewan project
will live on to exemplify what can be accomplished when goodwill,
mutual respect and intellectual honesty and discipline reign supreme
over the suspicions, recriminations and prejudices that all to often
take precedence in this day and age.
My memories of traveling and working
in the field in China with Desmond are as vivid as the day they
took place; the many formal banquets, when Desmond would rear back
and propel himself into an extended soliloquy that would perfectly
capture the spirit of the moment, the many informal discussions
with Chinese colleagues who were eager to share their discoveries
and Desmond's sincere interest in even the most innocuous looking
artifact, Desmond's resolute insistence that all research be conducted
in as rigorous and forthright a manner as possible, visiting sites
throughout China, working in the field in the Nihewan basin, setting
up camp in the village compound at Donggutuo, the early morning
walks to the site, the return to camp promptly at 5 PM for tea,
the miles long treks through deeply desiccated landscapes, where
Desmond's indefatigable energy would put to shame those half his
age, excavating and analyzing the earliest material remains of humankind
in East Asia, and in particular the collaboration between Desmond
and Prof. Jia.
It is such an honor to have known
and worked with Desmond. For anyone who was so fortunate it must
take pride of place in ones bank of personal remembrances.I will
also forever remember with great fondness the gracious hospitality
Desmond and Betty extended to the many Chinese visitors whom they
hosted in their home. The feeling of loss we all feel is a heavy
weight on our hearts that will not soon be lifted. Our thoughts
are with Betty and the Clark family at this time of profound sorrow.

Canada has eighty-one billionaires, but only one who has pledged to give it all away.
On Saturday the Globe and Mail reported that Jeffrey Skoll, past president and first fulltime employee of eBay, signed the Giving Pledge – a commitment to give away the majority of his money to philanthropy. In so doing he joins an esteemed crowd that includes T. Boone Pickens, Ted Turner, Warren Buffet, Bill and Melinda Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Jean and Steve Case, Michael Bloomberg, George Lucas, and over 100 others.
Skoll has already dedicated over half of his wealth to social causes and plans for 95% to be given before he is done. There's really only so much that you need, or your family needs, he said. I don't have kids yet, but when I do, there's only so much I think they should have. They can make their path their own.
In their story the paper reported that he embraced social entrepreneurship in the early days "and took a novel approach to fostering its growth by providing long-term funding and freedom to innovate rather than annual grants tied to specific conditions."
"Me being an entrepreneur, I realized that's the surest way to stifle innovation. So we decided to focus on social entrepreneurs in the field, make long-term unconditional grants to them and their organizations, connect them together so they could have opportunities to meet and share and collaborate and to tell their stories … to inspire others." - Jeffrey Skoll
His foundation, The University of Oxford's Skoll Center for Social Entrepreneurship, is now the largest of its kind, supporting 74 entrepreneurial organizations in about 100 countries.
His latest venture, Participant Media, has produced a number of well known films including academy award winners, The Help, An Inconvenient Truth, The Cove, and Syrianna.
And he's only just begun!

Short sale buying is one of the best options for home buyers looking to get the cheapest homes on the listing. But do note, dear buyer, that buying short sales may not be as easy as it seems. See, short sale Malaysian homes are homes that are in danger of foreclosure. The slightest amount of carelessness and the smallest mistake may just cost you a huge, huge problem including having to assume a mortgage loan gone bad (nobody wants that)!
So arm yourself with knowledge and prudence before jumping into this quickie of a sale called short sale. Here are some of the most common mistakes home buyers make when trying to buy short sales… as told to us by multiple real estate agent friends in the industry. 🙂
Stephanie Wong (Wong Realtors): Jumping in to the sale too soon. "Okay, so I get the point of a short sale is to get the house sold as quickly as possible. And I get that, on your part as the buyer, you want things to get done as quickly and as cheaply as possible. But that does not mean you should blindly and carelessly swoop into a hasty decision without considering things – the papers, the current mortgage situation (most important), the current market value of the house, etc. Just because it's cheap does not mean it's a good buy, remember that!"
Carmen Liz (Innercity Properties LLC): Not getting a full assessment and inspection of the house. "Considering that the owner of a house is kind of in deep financial rut, you might have to spend on home inspection yourself. After all, you will most benefit from it. You can use whatever you find out about the true structural condition of the house not only to get a sweeter deal on the house but also for your peace of mind – that you're moving into a house that can protect you and your family through and through."
George Gubb (GG & Partners): Offering too much just to get the house. "With a house sold a bit too cheaply, the person who bids highest is likely to end up getting the house. But that may not be the wisest thing to do. Make sure that the price you're willing to go for the house would be justified by the condition of the house as well as its other attributes. Buying it a little more than it's offered would be a forfeiture of your original intention: getting the house cheaply."
Steve Hsiao (Oriental Realty): Not consulting the mortgage lender. "This is what makes the short sale crucial. A short sale is never fully final nor legal unless it has the full permission of the mortgage company that holds it. And if you buy the house without checking the status of the house paperwork and legality wise, you might be buying someone else's trouble. So take that one extra step of talking to the mortgage lender about the house to be fully certain that you are entering into a deal that is clean and with no problems attached."
Hank Moses Chapman (REMasters LLC): Not consulting a real estate professional. "It may not be in your best interest to try to buy a short sale without an agent and without an attorney. Short sale homes have a little too many strings attached to them that you don't want to make the slightest bit of mistake that could cost you a fortune."

I have been trying to learn some stability theory lately, and I have been reading "Geometric Stability Theory" by Pillay. There is a lemma he states without proving which I am trying to prove, but I am getting stuck. The lemma states that if $b\in acl(aA)$ then $$R^{\infty}(tp(b/A))\leq R^\infty(tp(ab/A))=R^\infty(tp(a/A)).$$ Here is what I want to say: since $tp(ab/A)\models tp(a/A)$, we have $R^\infty(ab/A)\leq R^\infty(a/A)$. On the other hand, since $b\in acl(aA)$, it follows that $tp(a/A)\models tp(ab/A)$, and so $R^\infty(a/A)\leq R^\infty(ab/A)$, this takes care of the equality. But then since $tp(ab/A)\models tp(b/A)$, we must have $R^\infty(ab/A)\leq R^\infty(b/A)$, so that if the inequality were true, we would necessarily have equality throughout, which I find rather unlikely. So I am pretty sure that there is something wrong with my reasoning, but I am not sure exactly what it is.

This question was asked over a month ago, but I'll answer it in case you are still interested (or some future person is).
There is a tempting mistake in your argument (which I also made when I thought about this for the first time): The fact you are trying to use is that for (partial) types $p(x)$ and $q(x)$ in the same tuple of variables $x$, $p\rightarrow q$ implies $R^\infty(p)\leq R^\infty(q)$.
This does not hold if $p$ and $q$ have different variables. As a simple example of the impact of changing variables, let $a$ be an element of an infinite set. Let $\phi(x,y)$ be the formula $x = a$ and let $\psi(x)$ also be $x = a$ thought of in a context with just $x$. Then $\phi\rightarrow \psi$, but $R^\infty(\psi) = 0$ (since $\psi$ is algebraic), while $R^\infty(\phi)>0$ (since $\phi$ is not), i.e. $\phi$ picks out an entire line in the plane, while $\psi$ only picks out a point.
To prove Pillay's lemma, try proving the following two statements by transfinite induction. The assumptions are crafted to let you bridge the differences in variable contexts.
From the first, you can conclude that $R^\infty(\text{tp}(b/A))\leq R^\infty(\text{tp}(ab/A))$ and $R^\infty(\text{tp}(a/A))\leq R^\infty(\text{tp}(ab/A))$ in general (without using algebraicity).
From the second, letting $\theta$ isolate $\text{tp}(b/Aa)$, you can conclude that $R^\infty(\text{tp}(ab/A))\leq R^\infty(\text{tp}(a/A))$

The previous edition of this work was issued in 1922. In the present edition the original plan and purpose have been retained, in the main, with the addition of less than a hundred pages. Nevertheless, although the bulk is not greatly increased, the number of additions and changes is considerable. As the author points out, the original chapter on blood now comprises five chapters, and includes new material on the subjects of complement fixation, the anemias, and chemical examination of the blood. Further new features are found in the sections on urinary pigments, parasites, spinal fluid examination, cutaneous reactions, basal metabolism and liver function. Proportionally the sections on blood work take up nearly half of the book and the remainder is well apportioned to examination of the urine, the gastric and duodenal contents, the feces, the sputum and the body fluids, together with chapters on basal metabolism and bacteriologic methods.

Great service and great food. I loved the chicken souvlaki. A lot of restaurants these days over charge but Adonia offers meals at reasonable prices.
The place is mediocre, so I'm surprised to see so many good reviews. THE SERVICE was average at best, the waitress didn't introduce any specials to us and when we asked her about the dinner menu (we were there for lunch) she said she was too busy to talk about that. When we got our food, she never checked on us to see if the food was ok and if we needed more drinks. THE FOOD was also average. First of all, for a Greek family dining their menu is all over the place featuring items such as French onion soup, bruschetta, lasagna, fettuccini alfredo, veil parmesan on a kaiser roll, fish&chips. The selection of Greek food is rather limited and not memorable. The pork souvlaki was really tough and not flavorful, the greek salad was too generous on olive oil and feta to the point of being greasy. Also I would've preferred pitted calamata olives. The gyro was rather bland, the fries tasted microwaved. THE ATMOSPHERE is not particularly enjoyable either, just like the menu, it's all over the place. It has wine bottles hanging all over the walls, paintings of Greek gods, draping across the ceiling. OVERALL, I would rather spend money elsewhere, but sadly Guelph doesn't have many good options. An okay place, but I won't go back any time soon.
Very good Greek food. Nothing amazing but consistently food and great service. Nice family fare.
This place is affordable, and for the quality of food they serve at Adonia the entrees should definitely be priced higher. I could not believe how huge the portion sizes were, had a great time here and will be back for sure!!!!!
I'm surprised to even see one negative review for this restaurant, I've been eating at Adonia since the first day it opened and found the food to be quite fantastic! It always hits the spot, I have NEVER found the food to be bland, or too salty, or oily, or dry, it's alway cooked to PERFECTION and it is well worth the wait. I recommend this restaurant to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!! and the comment made below about the Saganaki, yes they usually do light the fire in front of you but I'm guessing they prefer not to burn customers. So, that's probably why they opted to not light the Saganaki on fire, which reading the previous comment made me realize that it's probably more of a safety issue, and makes me love Adonia that much more. The fact that they take the necessary precautions to avoid dangerous situations from taking place shows that this restaurant cares about its customers. Because if you think about it when the restaurant is extremely busy, and you have numerous patrons walking around, and to have an appetizer set on fire - well let's just say any number of things can go wrong. So for Adonia to not set the Saganaki on fire is not something to get upset over. Service was friendly and relatively quick, the decor was beautiful and elegant, bathrooms were incredibly clean- by the way their bathrooms are extremely well kept which is refreshing to see since most restaurants don't even bother taking the time to clean their bathrooms with such detail. For those of you who have read the negative comments below, please ignore them, and try ADONIA for yourself- don't judge it until you've actually experienced Adonia! :)
Well we didn't even stay for food. When I called to make reservations for valentines day I said I really liked the online menu. When we got there they had a Valentines day special menu which was fine but when I simply suggested that they might want to let people know that when people to make reservations that many menu items are not available. I was simply told if you don't like it leave. Well of course after hearing that we left. She ruined my valentines day!
Absolutely the best greek food in town! The food is always consistantly great. While the atmosphere is seriously outdated and the service can go either way the food is worth it!
Took my wife out a few nights ago and found everything at Adonia to be quite wonderful. We had never been there before so when our food arrived the pasta was cooked just right - very saucey just the way I prefer it. French fries were a little cold but if you ask the waitress to reheat it for you they won't mind. Service was pretty decent compared to all the other restaurants we've been to lately. Everyone should at least try it out once it's a great place to come to regularly and very affordable.
I was recommended to visit this place many times and I finally did it, I order a greek dish which was amazing, the salad was really nice as well and everything deliciou and I was very full, I definately come back again!
my husband and I had two chicken souvaki dinner, two pinot, and one baklava, everything was delicious, the chicken was cooked right not dry at all, tender and juicy the way chicken is suppose to be. i will definitely be back and will bring my entire family next time. i hope i get the same waitress she was upbeat and very sweet, i think she may have been new but she was a great waitress. anyways for anyone who is reading this comment i recommend ADONIA!
If you want M&Ms food served in a restaurant this is the place to go. Service was friendly and the place is a bit dowdy - well suited to the over 60 Walmart set. Portions are generous but the quality simply isn't there. To the chef: if the tomatoes are white, you're better off not serving them, don't serve the core of the iceberg lettuce and trim the fat off the pork before cooking it.
My friends and I have been here several times for lunch and it is always delicious! We get the lunch chicken souvlakies and the lunch plate spanikopita, and let me tell you, there chicken is always juicy and full of flavour! Personally, I love their decor. It took me by surprise on my first visit as it was nothing like how I had imagined just by looking from the outside, but it was a very pleasant surprise. Overall it is my favourite restaurant to go for lunch...since I never been there for dinner.
I went here for valentine's day after reading the reviews on here, and I was not led astray. While the clientelle is older due to its location, the food itself is superb. I don't view myself to be a food expert in any way, but if you're looking for a good meal, Adonia won't disappoint. The decor is a little overbearing in that it makes the space of the restaurant seem small, but I suppose you could argue it makes it cozy. It may be a little over the top, but it never seems distasteful. The space is full of paintings, greek statues, plants, lights and hanging fabrics. We were met by our server who seemed a little nervous at first, but that wore off. She lit a candle for us and told us about the specials, seafood stuffed salmon and lamb steak. The girlfriend chose stuffed sole from the menu, and I opted for the salmon after reading the enticing description of the sole on the menu. We also ordered an appetizer, tzatziki and pita bread. Our drinks and appetizer took a while to arrive, but my appetizer came with my caesar salad that was included with the special. The moderate wait was worth it. The tztatziki was very bright and with a nice kick, and the pita bread was very warm and fresh, perfectly made with garlic. As someone who tends to frequent steakhouse-type restaurants, the caesar salad was the best I've had and the girlfriend agreed. Our entrees arrived, and when they did I instant;y knew I had made a good choice. The salmon was served with sauteed vegetables, rice, potatoes and a skewer of 6 shrimp. The fish had a very nice creamy sauce over it. Everything was cooked perfectly, and the portions were generous. If you're looking for something new in Guelph, check out Adonia.
The experince was above average i would say. I like the overall look of the restaurant. My girlfriend really enjoyed the romantic look. the food was also great. It took us a little longer than usual to egt served but it was worth the wait. the servers were extremely fiendly and the service was fast.
I've been here several times. Generally, the food is very good, not spectacular but great value. Sometimes it is very very good. You will occaisionally get average food but the service has always been great. Even ***** star retaurants miss the mark sometimes. Adonia is unpretentious. Decor is a bit dated by experience is always good
me and my friends all went out to have dinner, and we all decided to go to adonia, i've heard many great things about this place and i was very pleased to say that once i got there had my dinner and when it was time to leave i felt exceptionally satisfied. the food from the seafood pasta and the chicken was just outstanding- hats of to the chef. the one problem i did have with it though was it was just a little bit crowded - i dont do well in crowds so next time i plan to go on a monday night when its less busy
We decided to try out Adonia and were unfortunately dissapointed. The food was definately not a stand out, the service very average and the decor was very out dated. I've been to the other Greek restaurant in town many times and must say i prefer it greatly!
Great service, very nice atmosphere and good food. The portion sizes are huge so you definitely get your money's worth.
This is certainly a greek restaurant and we went there because there are a huge amount of 10- 10 - 10 s on this site. Souvlaki was an 8, Veal was a 4, and fish was a 5. People are nice that serve you, and you get the impression they try hard, but it is not outstanding. In fact if you didn't know they were trying hard service would be a 2. On average the place is just that..... Average. We might be back. It was not a total writeoff. But don't come here expecting a 10 - 10 - 10, because this place is nothing like that. Average, decent Greek Food, and nice people that are trying, all that is true.
This is a nice little eatery that would likely appeal to an older crowd. I was there with my parents: they love it. Me? it's okay. There was some kind of strange sauce on the souvlaki that I have never had before and I did not like that. They were a bit wierd about substituting something, but it did get done. The portions are generous, the wine list is pretty terrible, the servers are nice. Not impressive, but fine for a quick bite.

The weekly data on the number of chikungunya cases in the Western Hemisphere has been released by both the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). The two international public health agencies released their data July 5. The data shows that the number of cases and the number of countries or territories affected by the mosquito borne illness continue to climb.
The PAHO is reporting a total of 264,444 suspected or confirmed cases of chikungunya. The illness has been diagnosed in 22 countries or territories. The Dominican Republic and the French islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe have reported the greatest numbers.
The ECDC shows a higher number of chikungunya illnesses, 285,406. The difference is that reports to the ECDC from Martinique and Guadeloupe have a higher number of suspected cases. The ECDC is also reporting 22 chikungunya-related deaths.
Neither agency has the most accurate reporting. Paperwork is taking a backseat to other priorities in many of these small, impoverished nations. A compilation of public and media reports suggests that the actual number of chikungunya cases is well over 315,000.
How many people will catch chikungunya in this first wave of infections? Martinique and Guadeloupe have been reporting illnesses for six months. At this point in time, 11.7 percent of the population of Martinique is believed to have caught the virus. On Guadeloupe, 13.1 percent have.
The Dominican Republic has been reporting chikungunya illnesses for three months. In that time, based upon recent public announcements, 1.6 percent of the population has been infected. It is very likely that this estimate is lower than the actual number of infections.
Suspect or confirmed cases of chikungunya have recently been reported in the Cayman Islands, Brazil and Paraguay. The number of cases in El Salvador and Venezuela continue to increase.
The United States has not been immune to the increase in chikungunya cases. To date, the only locally acquired illnesses have been in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Reporting varies but that number is 20-23 for Puerto Rico and three in the Virgin Islands. The PAHO is also reporting an additional 119 suspected chikungunya cases in Puerto Rico.
In the continental United States, the latest reporting by state agencies is 141 imported cases of chikungunya in 29 states. Florida has seen 54 cases, followed by New York and Tennessee with eight each. There have been no locally acquired chikungunya illnesses yet.
Chikungunya is not contagious and does not spread from human to human. It can only be caught by being bitten by an infected mosquito and just two species are known to carry the several strains of the illness. The strain circulating in the Americas is only transmitted by the Yellow Fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti. That species has a limited habitat in the continental U.S.and can only overwinter in the sub-tropical areas of Florida and along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.
