Successful launch for new peer-to-peer lending business
Sancus Holdings Limited (Sancus) has launched with £23m of proprietary capital raised mostly from local entrepreneurs and professionals.
Sancus is a Jersey-based Peer-to-Peer (P2P) secured lending operation, which concentrates on traditional P2P transactions and focuses on working with entrepreneurs and businesses that are creating local job opportunities.
Sancus chief executive Andrew Whelan said "We are delighted to announce that we are open for business and ready to lend. Sancus has been able to attract significant shareholders, the majority of whom are Channel Islanders who understand the benefits of this sector and are keen to assist in supporting the real economy."
P2P lending is a growing industry worldwide, addressing the demand for funding created by the retrenchment of traditional lenders. Sancus plans to extend its operations into other offshore jurisdictions where its expertise can benefit small and medium enterprises and High Net Worth individuals.

A van went off a cliff and crashed into a building on San Francisco's Twin Peaks this morning, according to a fire department official.
The van and its three occupants reportedly went off a cliff and struck a building at 2 Clarendon Ave. around 10:20 a.m., the official said.
At least one person was transported to a hospital by ambulance after the crash, but the official did not know the extent of the injuries.
The city's Department of Building Inspection will check the building to determine if it has been structurally damaged.

Preschool Socialization: The Pool Pecking OrderBeth Anne Ballance
Part of the reason I've been so MIA on the internet is due to our glittery new pool membership. Since we moved into a neighborhood with a pool, we plunked down a decent amount of pocket change and have spent almost every waking sunny hour in the chlorinated waters since Memorial Day. I spent all of my summers growing up at the pool, so it's been very cool watching Harry experience the joy I felt in the water. We get home at night and I pack sandwiches for dinner in the cooler and we stay until it's almost bedtime. Harrison is becoming quite the little fish, too. While he had swimming "lessons" as an infant, his experience in the water is minimal compared to some and when we started the summer, he'd cry every time we mentioned him going under water. After a month and some pink goggles, he's going all the way under and leaping off the side of the pool by himself. I am so proud!
This past weekend, I sat on the edge of the pool with my legs in the water and watched him play. Normally we are at the pool in the morning, go home for nap, then come back in the evening. But on Sunday, we were running "late" and I decided to scrap the nap and just let him play. He was thrilled with the extra play time, but it meant that all of the other 2-4 year olds had gone home for lunch and naps. There were some older boys tossing tennis balls in the shallow end; they were clearly "cool" kids and on the swim team.
Harry swam over to them in his bright pink goggles and orange rash guard. "Can I play?" he asked.
The eight-year-old swim team boy looked down at him and shook his head. "Nope," he said and then went back to laughing and tossing the ball with his friends.
Harrison stood there for a minute and I called him over to me. "That boy hurt my feelings," he whispered to me. I put my arm around his waist and hugged him in tight.
"I know he did, buddy. But he's a big boy. It's not fair and it might not feel nice, but that's the way it is. But I want to play with you!" He spent the next hour jumping off the side, trying to splash me, the hurt from the big boys already forgotten.
I think what surprised me most in the situation is how MY feelings were hurt when Harrison was turned down. Suddenly, I felt like I was the one rejected and I fully understood that old saying that having children is like having a piece of your heart walk outside of your body. It felt… personal. I wanted to go yank that boy up by his swim team trunks and tell him to be nice, but the truth is that kind of momma bear reaction wasn't warranted. The boy WAS nice. He wasn't rude. He didn't call Harrison names or push him. He just simply told him, "No."
And my son needs to learn his place in the pecking order. He's not eight-years-old, he's three.
I think as much as the lesson hurts right now, it's one that will serve him well in the years to come.

NJ bill would force drivers in accidents to hand over cellphones
Experts say bill could violate 4th Amendment
Published 4:00 PM EDT Jun 11, 2013
A bill proposed in New Jersey would let police search cellphones after traffic accidents.
According to CBS New York, the bill would require drivers involved in a car accident to turn over their cellphones. No warrant would be needed.
The state senator who proposed the bill said it was in response to a rise in accidents linked to texting and calling while driving.
Legal experts said the law could be in violation of the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable search and seizure.

Sports and team banners offer a great way to boost team spirit and generate energy during spirit week, at pep rallies, and anytime during the season. Score a goal when you hang a personalized football laces banner to announce tryouts or celebrate homecoming in the fall, or show your love for the cheerleaders with a custom cheer poms banner. Unique banners can also be used in cheers, and are a great way to announce squad events. Or show team loyalty by creating personalized low-tack Attach N' Go Banners to decorate each player's locker without the need for cords or tape.
Along with generating energy and boosting team spirit, sports banners personalized with the school's mascot can be hung in the gym or above outdoor bleachers to clearly mark seating for the student body to cheer on their home team. Sports banners can also be customized for each day of the celebration, so create one highlighting the theme for every day of spirit week. More creative spirit decorations are available at Stumps to add to the festive mood throughout the entire school. It's a great way to encourage and cheer your team on before the game.

After some 7 years in a conference room in VIFR's main Station 55, the Vashon Emergency Operations Center (EOC) may be relocated next year to the VIFR Association Building across the street. Slightly larger, the room would be shared with King County services including a once-a-month courtroom and sheriff facilities. Extensive remodeling would perhaps finally alleviate our perennial storage issues!
The next step in the process, which has been in discussions for nearly a year, will be a decision by the King County Council, according to King County's August 2nd press release. The Vashon Beachcomber published additional coverage on August 7th.
[8/20/12 Update: The legislation will be heard on Sept. 5th in the Budget & Fiscal Management Committee - not Aug 21st as originally thought. This isn't reflected in the current agenda, but presumably will be incorporated by the meeting time.]
If approved by the King County Council, the VIFR building, located at 100th Avenue SW and SW Bank Road, will house a King County Sheriff's Office substation, as well as provide space for King County District Court activities, the Vashon Community Service Center, King County Community Service Area staff, and for residents seeking help with permits from the Department of Development and Environmental Services (DDES) and County licenses.
"As a rural, unincorporated community in King County, the needs of Vashon residents are often unique. This proposed new space would help to better meet these needs and help to streamline County government," said King County Councilmember Joe McDermott.

A new annual report lists Springfield, Massachusetts as the 38th most dangerous city in the United States. Last year, the city was ranked 31. Detroit topped the list. Mission Viejo, California, is said to be the safest city in the United States.
The rankings of the safest and most dangerous cities and metropolitan areas are calculated using six basic crime categories: murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, and motor vehicle theft. These categories have been used for determining city ratings since 1999. The rankings include all cities of at least 75,000 residents that reported crime data to the FBI in the categories noted. In the most recent survey, 378 cities were considered for the awards. The 2006 statistics released by the FBI on September 24, 2007, determined their rankings.Here's a look back on previous years' rankings:
2006: Springfield gets the unfortunate label of the Bay State's most dangerous city; ranks 31st in the country
2005: Springfield is rated the country's 19th most dangerous city
2004: Camden, N.J. was the country's most dangerous city, Hartford 7th, Springfield 18th
2003: Springfield was ranked 20th most dangerous city

—Hypothyroidism in the adult has been characterized clinically by cold intolerance, lethargy, constipation, and overall slowing of intellectual and motor activities. Conversely, classic clinical hyperthyroidism has been recognized by heat intolerance, palpitations, hyperkinesis, and emotional lability. A less classic presentation can occur in elderly patients with hyperthyroidism who have been described as "masked" or "apathetic" hyperthyroid patients.1 The patient described herein became hypothyroid after discontinuation of replacement therapy. Her clinical presentation was noted by symptoms of heat intolerance, agitation, insomnia, and nervous irritability, which improved as she became euthyroid.
Report of a Case.
—A 64-year-old woman was initially seen complaining of notable intolerance to hot weather, nervousness, emotional irritability, crying spells, and insomnia. She had been treated intermittently for a thyroid disorder with desiccated thyroid, 130 mg/day, for 30 years. She had finished the thyroid tablets eight weeks earlier while attending her sister's funeral in a

More than $15,000 was awarded to student competitors as seed money last week at the Third Annual Motley Rice County Business Plan Competition. Through a partnership with Motley Rice, YEScarolina was able to award start-up cash to 30 young entrepreneurs who presented their ideas and innovations to judges throughout the day. Hosted at the College of Charleston School of Business, future business owners competed in several rounds of competition before the five finalists landed themselves in the closing challenge round. Six local business leaders made up the final judge panel, including Eric Bowman, CEO of SPARC, Carolyn James and Laura Holcomb of Motley Rice and local attorney Margie Pizarro.
West Ashley High School student Dekeiya Cohen won the coveted first-place prize of $1,000 for her innovative business idea, "The Catching Prodigy." The invention Dekeiya created is intended to improve the catching ability of basketball players by making The Catching Prodigy an affordable, yet valuable, training device that anyone can use. Cohen is a senior and will be attending Baylor University on a full basketball scholarship.
Second-place prize of $500 went to the duo behind the business idea, "Two Beans." Paola Macias and Claudia Soto of Charleston Collegiate School came up with a business selling authentic Mexican tamales made with passion. They are breaking into the food delivery service industry by selling their tamales frozen in packs of 10.
Riley Steward, also of Charleston Collegiate, won the third-place prize of $250 for her business "Riley 2 the Rescue." Her business was created to provide a more affordable pet-sitting service than a kennel and offers a family-oriented environment. Riley is in ninth grade and currently operates this business from her parent's house on John's Island.
The two runners-up were Jasmine Godbolt of Summerville High School for her child care business idea, "The Village," and Austin Thomas of Fort Dorchester High School for his business, Charleston Auto Detailing.
These five young entrepreneurs now advance to the Mark Motley State Business Plan Competition on June 18 at the College of Charleston School of Business in addition to 15 students from around the city and state. The public is encouraged to attend and watch the entrepreneurship challenge finals at 5:30 p.m. where the first-place winner will receive $3,000, second place $2,000 and third place $1,000. The first-place winner will also advance to the NFTE National Challenge on October 9 in Silicon Valley.
"Great experience and opportunity to see what the young entrepreneurs of Charleston are developing, said Christine Osborne, owner of Wonder Works and judge at the business plan competition. I was extremely impressed with the amount of business background they were taught, assimilated into their presentations and product development. Wow! Great job YES Carolina!"

Intra-party conflicts: Enhancing or diminishing democracy at large?The session will look at intra-party conflicts and cohesion, and its impact on the linkage capacity of political parties and democracy at large. Political parties are central as they fulfill major functions in representative democracies. While a lot has been written about parties in the electorate and parties in government (Reiter, 2006), the literature on parties as organizations is either rather dated or of theoretical and static nature (classifications of party organizations and party families). More specifically, the main goal of the session is to tackle the issue of conflict and competition within parties, through the lens of conflicting relations between the three faces of party organizations (Katz & Mair 2001), and factionalism (Boucek, 2009). The idea is to investigate and explain the roots of conflict and factionalism within parties. Indeed, understanding intra-party competition and dynamics is a key element to understand how parties behave and perform in the political system as a whole.
Intra-party democratizationIn modern democracies, political parties have engaged in a trend towards the enlargement of their electorate (Hazan & Rahat 2010). The aim of the session is to look at these intra-party democratization processes, such as leadership and candidate selection, or policy formation and adoption of the party platform. More specifically, the main goal is to analyze the impact of the democratization process on the nature of the link between the three faces of party organizations and intra-party cohesion. Does it strengthen loyalty towards the organization, or create sources of discontent and protest among certain party strata? Has this trend affected the recruitment capacity of parties? If so, in which ways? Papers in this session should focus primarily on the consequences of intra-party democratization processes, with a strong empirical perspective. Comparative papers are strongly encouraged.
Leaders and Leadership: How the Presidentialization of Politics Affected the Balance of Powers within Parties
Participatory institutions, political clientelism and democratization within the StateDuring the last few decades democratic regimes in different countries fostered institutional innovations in order to widen citizen participation in the planning, implementation and public control of policies. We can call this set of institutional experiences participatory experiments (Avritzer, 2010). The expansion in the number and scope of these institutions – which unite civil society groups organized in policy deliberation – has the potential to advance the democratization of state structures and to reduce levels of political inequality, if political inequality is defined as the difference among social groups to influence government decisions. Another consequence of the rise of participatory institutions within the state structure has been the reduction in the range of opportunities for policies based on political clientelism due to the expansion and diversification of the public sphere via the increase in the number of groups taking place in public deliberation.
This outcome is not always so easily reached, however, because participatory institutions often merge in a peculiar way with traditional political practices, among them, clientelism. If on the one hand participatory institutions work against the reproduction of political clientelism – at different levels of state action – these institutions can, on the other hand, adapt to reproduce clientelism due to entrenched practice within state organizations.
The papers should discuss research findings that address the interaction between participatory institutions and their impact on clientelistic practices. In this sense they should ideally discuss a) the role participatory institutions play in transforming clientelistic practices, b) how both have adapted to the new democratic context, c) the new forms of political clientelism in a context where participatory institutions are central.
Party Members and Activists in Latin America
Party membership: Exploration into the anthills of party politicsThe session will discuss recent publications in the field of party membership studies.
Political inequality outside of the West. Part I.Joint session of RC09 Social Transformations and Sociology of Development and RC18 Political Sociology [host committee]
Political inequality (POLINQ) can be defined as structured differences in influence over government decisions. POLINQ is a multidimensional concept – comprised of voice and response – that occurs in all types of governance structures, from social movement organizations, to local and national governments, on to global governance. Voice refers to how constituencies express their interests to decision-makers, either directly or through representatives. Response refers to how decision-makers act and react to their constituencies, and take the forms of symbols and policy.
While the established literature on other major types of inequality, such as economic and educational inequalities, addresses basic empirical questions of "what are the causes and consequences of this inequality?" and "how does this inequality impact social transformation?", empirical studies of POLINQ, especially outside of Western countries, are few. As a result, our knowledge of the relationships between political power, political inequality and social and political transformations experienced outside of the West is lacking. Recent events in the Middle East amplify the importance, and urgency, of these issues.
This session seeks empirical (qualitative and quantitative) papers on the topic of POLINQ that feature (a) processes of social and political transformation in (b) countries outside of the West. Comparative studies are strongly encouraged.
Key research questions include:
- How do we define and measure political inequality?
- How does political inequality differ from democracy and the quality of democracy?
- How does political inequality interact with economic, gender, racial, ethnic, educational, and other inequalities?
- What are the relationships between political power, political inequality, and social transformations?
- How politically unequal are nations outside of the West?
- How does social and political change impact political inequality?
- What are the consequences of political inequality on peoples, societies and social structures?
Political inequality outside the West. Part II.Joint session of RC09 Social Transformations and Sociology of Development [host committee] and RC18 Political Sociology
Politics of community and community development in the South: An epistemological engagementDemocracy and social justice have become part and parcel of the society and occupies top most priority of the elected governments. To address social justice and overall development, state is initiated the community development in order to support the poor and sections of the Indian society. This has become major initiatives of the government during their five year plans. It got tremendous response and functioning positively in order to ameliorate the poverty and vulnerability over the years. It drastically bring the poor under its umbrella. People are electing the governments democratically and there is large scale attendance of voter turnouts.
Post 1990s reforms have resulted multiple ways on the developmental initiatives of the state. For instance during this phase you find large scale involvement of donor agencies in the policies of the state vis-à-vis poor and vulnerable sections. There is an also influx of multi-national companies in the name of sustainable development. There is an also new form of politics emerging for instance identity politics. This paved the way for politics of identity formations which resulted sectoral divisions among various groups of people in India. This is the crux of the contemporary society and all the parties revolve around politics of communities. To understand this new phenomena, our session would invite papers which demonstrates an epistemological engagement of the Politics of Community and community development.

The NFL season is just two days away, which means one thing: Your buddies can't stop talking about how awesome their fantasy football lineups are.
A new ESPN "SportsCenter" commercial parodied the obsessive nature of fantasy games with a draft of the show's anchors by Giants wideout Victor Cruz, Saints tight end Jimmy Graham and the Eagles mascot. Swoop (who wanted to take Bob Ley). The spot even jokes about the crushing moment for owners when a top fantasy selection suddenly appears out for the year.
Cruz's 2014 offseason ends with him leading the league in viral videos -- he leaped over a tackling dummy butt first and had his proposal to Elaina Watley released.

Economic activity continued to expand across most regions of the country from late November through the end of the year, according to the Federal Reserve's latest monthly report.
The report, known as the "Beige Book," said all 12 Federal Reserve districts reported year-over-year increases in manufacturing activity. Real estate markets generally continued to improve, and most districts reported that retail spending was up, the report said.
Economic growth in New York continued at a moderate pace in late 2013, it said. General merchandise retailers reported that holiday season sales were mixed but moderately strong, on balance, with steeper discounting than last year, the report said. New auto sales remained "fairly robust" in November, but there were preliminary signs of slowing in December, it said.
"Contacts at major malls in Upstate New York report that business was strong in November but mixed in December," the report said. "Overall, holiday season sales were roughly on par with 2012 levels."
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York's Empire State Manufacturing Survey for January reported that business activity expanded for New York manufacturers, and did so at a faster pace than in recent months.

MARTINSBURG - In a perfect world, Hedgesville and Martinsburg would meet in next week's Class AAA girls basketball state tournament in Charleston.
That scenario is a possibility after the seedings were announced Friday morning.
The Eagles (17-8) got the No. 6 seed, while the Bulldogs (15-6) earned the No. 7 seed, putting the two teams on the bottom half of the bracket. That means if both teams win their opening games - Hedgesville Thursday night and Martinsburg Wednesday morning - they would meet in the second round of the tournament Friday evening.
First, though, they have to get through their first-round matchups to make another meeting possible.
The Eagles will play third-seeded Parkersburg South at 7:15 p.m. Thursday, while the Bulldogs will play No. 2 Morgantown at 11:15 a.m. Wednesday.
For Hedgesville coach Ben Merica, the No. 6 seed was about where he thought the Eagles would be.
"That's how I saw things falling," Merica said. "I thought we might be as high as No. 5, but we ended in the sixth spot. I would have like to have been in that four-five matchup."
Martinsburg coach Wes Hall thought his team would end up in the final spot at No. 8, but a loss by undefeated and top-ranked Greenbrier East in regional play Thursday night put Capital, which defeated the Spartans, in the eighth spot and the Bulldogs in the seventh spot.
"I was expecting to be the eighth seed. I thought I would be playing Greenbrier East, and we were preparing to play Greenbrier East," Hall said. "I think the coaches did a great job with the seeding.
"We played Morgantown earlier this year, and we'll be ready."
The Bulldogs lost that game.
The eight-seed brackets includes: No.1 Spring Valley, No. 2 Morgantown, No. 3 Parkersburg South, No. 4 Princeton, No. 5 Logan, No. 6 Hedgesville, No. 7 Hedgesville and No. 8 Capital.

Just subtract gravity: How astronaut Chris Hadfield has made the mundane cool
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- April 23, 2013
- Canadian spaceman chronicles the everyday
- Tweets and videos make him a cult figure
- See Cmdr Hadfield's Tweets here
- Latest science and space news here
IF you look up at the heavens once every 92 minutes, you may come under the gaze of the man who has made the mundane cool.
His name is Chris Hadfield. He's a Canadian. OK, so that may not be cool.
But since December 19 he's been on the International Space Station and his constant stream of photographs and quirky videos have won him a growing cult following back on Earth.
That's cool.
Whether it's brushing his teeth, sleeping, shaving, wringing out a towel (to show what water does), crying (or at least pretending to), clipping your nails, or preparing a freeze-dried spinach meal, no task is too dull for Commander Hadfield to examine, via the Canadian Space Agency's YouTube channel.
Scroll down to check out more of Commander Hadfield's videos
Before the nifty videos, it was Cmdr Hadfield's wonderful photographs of our home which attracted a growing Twitter following.
Follow @Cmdr_Hadfield on Twitter
Almost every day he's been orbiting Earth, he has found time to poke his lens at a window and snap away.
The result has been spectacular.
In January, he posted a series of photos of Australia to mark Australia Day.
"It's 26 Jan - Australia Day! I took a few photos from orbit, to help honour everyone Down Under," he said.
Cmdr Hadfield has even swapped Tweets with the most famous astronaut of all, William Shatner.
Unfortunately, we won't have Commander Hadfield's geeky view from space for much longer. His mission is due to end in May.

The 2011 NBA draft was like an elaborate Hollywood production. There were laughs, some drama, lots of emotion, and thanks to a Jan Vesely kiss that'll go down in YouTube lore, even a bit of romance.
Come to think of it, the only thing really missing from the night was a leading man.
As you've heard a thousand times by now, this draft lacked that one, surefire guy who could become the immediate face of a franchise. Top pick Kyrie Irving, Derrick Williams and Kemba Walker will be good pros, but if none of them ever evolves into a star, only their parents will be terribly shocked.
Let's not minimize their moment, though. Hearing one's name called by the commish is an honor that very few experience.
So, to the gents already mentioned and the 56 others who lived a childhood dream last night, congrats on a job well done. Enjoy the cameras. Relish all the autograph seekers.
But know that tomorrow starts a new production—NBA player, the role you've waited your entire life for.

Michael Bay To Take On 'Turtles'
Film director and explosion lover Michael Bay is set to produce a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot with his studio, Platinum Dunes. Brad Fuller and Andrew Form will also produce, and have begun meeting with writers. Turtles will be the first foray into action for Platinum Dunes, the studio responsible for horror remakes Friday the 13th, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and this year's Nightmare on Elm Street.
The Turtles have been subject to a number of reboots and reimaginings since their initial adaptation from comics to TV in 1987, most recently in 4Kids animated series that ran through 2009. No word yet on what incarnation the film will stay closest to, but odds are they'll to a try to appeal to the audience of the original 80's cartoon by laying on the nostalgia.
It's easy to see why Bay's studio bought the rights to the film, as he has extensive personal experience adapting childhood cartoon favorites by making them as terrible as is humanly possible. Personally, we're hoping that the film goes for a "dark" and "gritty" reinterpretation because, honestly, they're turtles. Turtles named after renaissance artists. There's no way to take this stuff seriously, and trying to do so will make the film hilariously bad. And if it ends up hilariously bad, at least it will be entertaining, as opposed to Bay's other work which is just straight dull. Still, it's sad to see Michael Bay try his hardest to outpace George Lucas as childhood-rapist of the decade. It's not a race, you guys.
In the meantime, in case you didn't already have it stuck in your head, here's the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme song.

Semiconductor analyser determines part type and value
Here is an interesting electronics gadget. It's a semiconductor component tester that displays the type, pinout, and some relevant specifications of the device connected to its probes. [via]
It doesn't matter how you connect the test clips to the component, the Atlas DCA can analyse a vast number of different component types including bipolar transistors, enhancement mode MOSFETs, depletion mode MOSFETs, Junction FETs (only gate pin identified), low power thyristors and triacs (less than 5mA trigger and hold), diodes, multiple diode networks, LEDs, bi-colour and tri-colour LEDs. It will even identify special component features such as diode protection and shunt resistors in transistors.

Fortunately the ski press don't mention Savognin, which helps to keep this gem a small secret for snowboraders to do as they please with. The natives are super friendly and happy to have snowboarders on their slopes. The local snowboard scene is cool with its own riders club where you can find out all there is to know about this place, such as the best hits or runs and where to get messy in the evenings when the lifts are closed.

From castles to beaches, wine, and dinner with a view, Spain definitely offers up romance in spades. So here are a few romantic things to do in Spain to turn your visit to the Iberian Peninsula into an extra-amorous one.
Stay in a castle
A trip doesn't get more fairytale-like than when staying in a castle, and, fortunately, thanks to Spain's Parador hotels, doing so all across the country is entirely possible. This is because the Paradors – a state-run hotel chain — are typically located in historic monuments like monasteries, palaces, fortresses, convents and often – you guessed it — castles. With over 85 locations, finding a nearby castle to call your very own shouldn't be a tall order.
Walk along the beach in San Sebastián
Nothing says romance like a walk on the beach, and perhaps there's no better place to do that than along one of the country's most famous shorelines: La Concha in San Sebastián. Walk in the sand of the Basque beach's half-moon-shaped bay, or on its over three-mile-long promenade. Considering that Spain has 4,516 miles of coastline, if you can't make it for a stroll in San Sebastián, you can just as easily find a paseo-worthy shore elsewhere.
Planning a trip? Browse Viator's Spain tours and things to do, or book a private tour guide in Spain for a customized tour!
Wine tasting
A little wine will no doubt up the romance factor, so a visit to Spanish wine country is never a bad idea. And the good news: As the third-largest producer of wine in the world, almost the entire country is wine country. Whether it's the bubbly Cava of Catalunya, the crisp white Albariño of the northwest's Galicia, the almost-always amazing reds of La Rioja and Ribera del Duero, or the Sherry dessert wines of Jerez, you'll probably only be a drive away from sampling some pretty tasty libations.
Dinner with a view
When in Granada, scope out views of the Alhambra Palace from the adjacent hillside Albaicín neighborhood. Even better: get a reservation at the restaurants Carmen Mirador de Aiza or El Huerto de Juan Ranas during sunset, to watch as the famous fortress across the way becomes illuminated at nightfall. If in Madrid, head up to the rooftop of the Michelin-star-rated Casino de Madrid to dine al fresco and soak up views of the city while noshing on molecular gastro. And when in Seville, head to the rooftop terrace of the Hotel Doña Maria for drinks and a bird's-eye view of the Cathedral and its iconic Giralda tower.

Scoring world leaders' reaction: Allies offering support, while Middle East mixed
UPDATED: 5:45 p.m.
The Associated Press brings us a quick video roundup of mostly Western leaders praising the death of bin Laden, framing Sunday's events as a blow to Al-Qaeda. As you might expect, the soundbite from Hamas' prime minister was less glowing.
You can watch this full video below.
UPDATED: The Wall Street Journal takes a look at what others in the Middle East are thinking. This excerpt is a good summary: "The death of Mr. bin Laden is 'good for everyone–for Muslims and Christians. He killed a lot of people. He even killed a lot of Muslims in New York,' said Azzam Estawro, a 65-year-old a civil engineer who was buying newspapers on a Cairo street corner. 'But I think there is sympathy for him. Some people loved him.' "

To me, my mother's house in Honolulu is the height of luxury. It was built more than 50 years ago for $50,000 when my parents, both teachers, had reached some measure of success. It's one of those open-beamed redwood kama'aina homes with 1,500 square feet of living space - it seemed large at the time - and spacious lanais all around.
It sits on a hillside overlooking Koko Head with a view of the rising sun and the sea. For that alone, prowling Realtors tend to hand their cards to my mom "in case she ever wants to sell."
Fat chance. I'll inherit it and will never let it go, in large part for the garden. My parents designed the house and grounds themselves, in the days when people cared about gardens. Not like today when developers fill an entire lot with 5,000 square feet of living space and lay out rows of areca palms and a line of lauae and Hula Girl yellow hibiscus for landscaping.
No. My parents landscaped terraces with honeysuckle and alamanda and planted trees, tall, old, wonderful trees that rustle in the trades, whisper in the moonlight, and call to the birds.
Gardens were a prime value in the Hawaii of the '20s and '30s, back when the Big Five elite could afford around-the-clock gardeners. The great estates of Diamond Head, Nuuanu, Makiki and Manoa were still around when I grew up, and the grounds, not just the splendid mansions, were an emblem of wealth.
I picked up an old 1933 issue of Paradise of the Pacific the other day featuring some of these storied residences. "The home of Mr. and Mrs. George P. Cooke (think Molokai Ranch), with gardens of glorious beauty." "Delightfully cool and restful are the gardens of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Fagan (think Hana Ranch)."
I loved looking at photos of the colonnaded terrace of the Lester McCoy (think Honolulu parks board) home on Diamond Head, which overlooked a jungled path leading through a trellis to a secret garden. I liked the Charles Montague Cooke (think Castle & Cooke) home in Makiki, with its clipped shrubbery, water lily pond and private waterfall.
Kaluanui, the Makawao home of Ethel and Harry Baldwin (who ran Maui Agricultural Co. in Paia), was featured in the magazine as well. Pictures showed rose beds by the reflecting pool, a profusion of flowers and ferns around a birdbath in the circular courtyard and long views of the Mediterranean-style home and the great trees that shaded it.
Like her peers on Oahu, Ethel cared deeply about her gardens. She supervised the gardens' design personally, giving orders in duster and sun hat to Okamura and Matsumoto, the two full-time yardmen who lived on the property. Kaluanui, now the Hui No'eau Visual Arts Center, was sparing in furniture, but lavish in flower arrangements, for which Ethel was known.
She loved to share cut flowers, and faithfully arranged them for services at Makawao Union Church, and meetings of the Maui Woman's Club. In a 1935 diary notation, Ethel "sent quantities of yellow plumeria, alamanda, white star jasmine, white dahlias, yellow canna, and African daisies, and long clusters new white vine [sic]" to a friend's wedding.
The great Maui horticulturist Jimmy Lindsay of Haiku named a new variety of hibiscus for Ethel Baldwin. I saw it once, a delicate ice-pink, almost white, in a corner of the front bed near the porte-cochere.
In Honolulu with Harry for the 1935 term of the Territorial Legislature, Ethel called on Dora Isenberg. "Beautiful indeed are the gardens of Mrs. Dora Isenberg." (Think Lihue Sugar Co.) She also visited Alice Spalding (a creator of the Honolulu Academy of Arts) and toured "her lovely grounds. The orchids in full bloom in the trees in the gulch were especially lovely. Mary Wallace and Martha joined us and we all had tea on the terrace."
I can't help it, I wish I was there.
When did we became people who fill our homes and hotels with square footage, not foliage? Do tourists no longer appreciate beautiful grounds? Do two-income families have no time to enjoy a yard? Or is it all just about maximizing profit? Good luck finding someone to come over and weed. Now, as a friend says, it's "blow and go." Wish I needed a full-time landscaper.
At our family home, with its floor-to-ceiling windows, I can hardly tell where the indoors ends and the garden begins. There she is, my precious 94-year-old mother, out there watering her orchids.

Dr. Fondren is absolutely the best doctor i have ever had. He has a great bedside manner and listens to all of my concerns. He spends a lot of time discussing my issues and always seems to have a remedy. He is awesome.
Dr. Fondren is "out of network" for my insurance, but I would not be treated by anyone else. I have been seeing him for many years now, and I am doing better and feeling better than I have in years after following his advice. One Great Doctor!
I've been going to Dr. Fondren for several years. I've been extremely impressed with the time, and follow up he spends with his patients, how he remembers details about them, and his overal skill and mannerisms.
Dr Fondren does a very complete and thorough examination every time I visit. I have never waited over 5 minutes, which is a testimony to his friendly and efficient staff. I have had 3 to 4 doctors in the past, but Dr Fondren will be my last. Give him a try, you will be happy!!
I've been Dr. Fondren's patient for over 10 years. Doc Fondren is professional, intelligent,technology up to par, caring, good-looking and has the greatest sense of humor. I couldn't recommend a better doctor.

This next project that I put together for the month long focus on handmade gifts is another pine cone project. When I was gathering pine cones from my yard, I enlisted my daughter to help me collect them, in addition to that, Mr. Handy also started making piles for me while he was out doing yard work. So needless to say, I ended up with A LOT of pine cones! These pine cones were left over from the Pine Cone Wreath Project. And ironically, even after this project, I STILL have left over pine cones. I have added them to a basket that sits on my farm table for a little bit of fall flair. I promise, no more pine cone projects after this one! Okay before I move on, I will say that there are a TON of pine cone projects on Pinterest. I pinned a bunch of them while I was doing research on what I could make for handmade holiday gifts...you know because Pinterist IS the Encyclopedia Britannica of DIY projects right?? So if you, like me, have way too many pine cones on hand, here are some additional projects you can do to use these suckers up! Pine Cone Projects Pin Board
Back to the project. So my parents moved to the lake about 9 months before Mr. Handy and I moved here. They bought a really beautiful, rustic cabin that is amazing. They have two fireplaces that are pretty much always burning when its' cold. And unlike our fireplace that has fake gas logs (that are soon to be removed) theirs is a real wood burning fireplace. So this handmade holiday gift is actually for them. Hopefully my mom or dad don't read this before Christmas because they will see what I made to kick off their fireside moments!! For this project you will need:
Pine Cone Fire Starters
A good supply of large or small pine cones (mine were mostly small)
A pot to melt wax
Febreze Wax Bars - pick a nice holiday scent
Wax Paper
Container to package up the pine cones
This project is so very, very simple. First you want to make sure that you have baked the pine cones in an oven for 30 mins at 250 degrees to kill off any critters.
After they have cooled off, put your cones in a pile.
On a stove top, melt the bars of wax.
Spread out on the counter top a layer of waxed paper.
Using your tongs, dip half or all of the pine cone in the wax, let the excess wax drip off of the cone and set the pine cone on the wax paper to dry. Repeat until you have coated all of the pine cones.
I let them set over night but it doesn't really take that long. When they are cooled completely, place in the packaging you choose and decorate with a holiday theme.
And here is what you get:
Because I used a Febreze scented wax, these little pine cones smell wonderful. You could keep these in a basket next to the fireplace and get to enjoy the scent when you are not burning them. I tried these out in our fire pit and they work beautifully. It started a fire right up. My parents do a lot of fires so I used all of them and put them in one big jar, but if you didn't want to give such a large jar of these, you could break them up into medium/large mason jars and decorate them with a holiday ribbon and turn these into multiple batches. I hope my parents like these. I think they turned out adorable and again, they smell wonderful.
Oh and total spent on this project - Approximately $16.00
Pine Cones - Free
Febreze - on sale at Wal-Mart - $1.50 each / I used two $3.00
Glass Jar - $6.00
Long Matches - $7.00 - which I will include when I give this to them
We still have so many really awesome handmade gifts still to come. I hope you are enjoying this series. I know that I am having a blast making these and I can't wait to give them to my friends and loved ones.
Until Next Time...

Purpose of review Most pharmacological treatments of primary headache disorders are partially effective and have cumbersome side effects. Therapies with better efficacy and tolerance are needed. Neurostimulation techniques may have this potential. This is an attempt to summarize the latest clinical trial results published in the field. Recent findings Hypothalamic deep brain stimulation is effective in drug-resistant chronic cluster headache (drCCH) but not riskless. Recent anatomical MRI studies indicate that the effective stimulation sites are rather widespread. Occipital nerve stimulation (ONS) seems to be effective in up to 76% of drCCH patients and its benefit long-lasting. A minority of patients are able to abandon preventive drugs. Its mechanism of action appears nonspecific. In chronic migraine, randomized controlled trials of ONS showed recently encouraging results, but long-term studies are missing. An ongoing sham-controlled trial suggests sphenopalatine ganglion neurostimulation (SPGS) efficacy in drCCH acute treatment, but possibly also in preventive therapy. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) modulate cortical excitability and connectivity. TMS could prevent headache when applied over the occipital cortex during the migraine aura. Repetitive TMS and tDCS have provided mixed results in a few small studies and warrant further trials. Summary Neurostimulation therapies inaugurate a new era in headache management and offer a promising alternative to medications. Future studies are necessary to provide evidence-based efficacy data, knowledge on their mode of action and information about their pharmaco-economic advantages.

Background: Familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) is a rare, dominantly inherited subtype of migraine with transient hemiplegia during the aura phase. Mutations in at least three different genes can produce the FHM phenotype. The mutated FHM genes code for ion transport proteins that animal and cellular studies have associated with disturbed ion homeostasis, altered cellular excitability, neurotransmitter release, and decreased threshold for cortical spreading depression. The common forms of migraine are characterized interictally by a habituation deficit of cortical and subcortical evoked responses that has been attributed to neuronal dysexcitability. FHM and the common forms of migraine are thought to belong to a spectrum of migraine phenotypes with similar pathophysiology, and we therefore examined whether an abnormal habituation pattern would also be found in FHM patients. Methods: In a group of genotyped FHM patients (five FHM-1, four FHM-2), we measured habituation of visual evoked potentials (VEP), auditory evoked potentials including intensity dependence (IDAP), the nociception-specific blink reflex (nsBR) and compared the results to a group of healthy volunteers (HV). Results: FHM patients had a more pronounced habituation during VEP (P = 0.025) and nsBR recordings (P = 0.023) than HV. There was no difference for IDAP, but the slope tended to be steeper in FHM. Conclusion: Contrary to the common forms of migraine, FHM patients are not characterized by a deficient, but rather by an increased habituation in cortical/brain stem evoked activities. These results suggest differences between FHM and the common forms of migraine, as far as central neuronal processing is concerned. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 29 (5 ULg)

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review provides a comprehensive selection of the latest clinical trial results in antimigraine treatment. RECENT FINDINGS: The oral calcitonine gene-related peptide antagonist telcagepant is efficacious in acute treatment. Compared to triptans, its efficacy is almost comparable but its tolerance is superior. The same is true for the 5HT-1F agonist lasmiditan, another agent devoid of vascular effects. Triptans, as other drugs, are more efficient if taken early but nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and analgesics remain useful for acute treatment, according to several meta-analyses. Single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation during the aura rendered more patients pain-free (39%) than sham stimulation (22%) in one study. Topiramate could be effective for migrainous vertigo, but it did not prevent transformation to chronic migraine in patients with high attack frequency. Onabotulinumtoxin A was effective for chronic migraine and well tolerated, but the therapeutic gain over placebo was modest; the clinical profile of responders remains to be determined before widespread use. Occipital nerve stimulation was effective in intractable chronic migraine with 39% of responders compared to 6% after sham stimulation. This and other neuromodulation techniques, such as sphenopalatine ganglion stimulation, are promising treatments for medically refractory patients but large controlled trials are necessary. One study suggests that outcome of patent foramen ovale closure in migraine might depend on anatomic and functional characteristics. SUMMARY: Drugs with a better efficacy or side-effect profile than triptans may soon become available for acute treatment. The future may also look brighter for some of the very disabled chronic migraineurs thanks to novel drug and neuromodulation therapies. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 239 (15 ULg)

Cluster headache is well known as one of the most painful primary neurovascular headache. Since 1% of chronic cluster headache patients become refractory to all existing pharmacological treatments, various invasive and sometimes mutilating procedures have been tempted in the last decades. Recently, neurostimulation methods have raised new hope for drug-resistant chronic cluster headache patients. The main focus of this chapter is on stimulation of the great occipital nerve, which has been the best evaluated peripheral nerve stimulation technique in drug-resistant chronic cluster headache, providing the most convincing results so far. Other peripheral nerve stimulation approaches used for this indication are also reviewed in detail. Although available studies are limited to a relatively small number of patients and placebo-controlled trials are lacking, existent clinical data suggest that occipital nerve stimulation should nonetheless be recommended for intractable chronic cluster headache patients before more invasive deep brain stimulation surgery. More studies are needed to evaluate the usefulness of supraorbital nerve stimulation and of vagus nerve stimulation in management of cluster headaches. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 12 (1 ULg)

Background. Drug-resistant chronic cluster headache (drCCH) is a devastating condition for which various invasive procedures have been tempted without any satisfactory effect. Our prospective pilot study of great occipital nerve stimulation (ONS) in 8 drCCH patients showed encouraging results at 15 months (1). Methods. We recruited 15 patients with drCCH according to the previously published criteria of intractability (2). They were implanted with suboccipital stimulators on the side of their headache. Long-term follow-up was achieved by questionnaires administered during a headache consultation and/or by telephone interviews. Results. One patient had an immediate post operative infection of the material. Mean time with ONS was 28.8 months (range 3-60 months). Nine of the 14 remaining patients were totally pain-free (64%), 2 patients had an improvement in frequency exceeding 90% and one patient a 89% amelioration. Two patients did not respond or described mild improvement. Intensity of residual attacks was not improved by ONS. Four patients (29%) were able to reduce their prophylaxis. Common technical problems were battery depletion (N=8/14, 57%) and material infection (N=3/15, 20%). Recurrent battery replacement (until 2/ year in one patient) is now avoided by the availability of rechargeable batteries. Clinical peculiarities associated with ONS were occurrence of infrequent contralateral attacks (N=5/14, 36%), and/or isolated ispilateral autonomic attacks (N=5/14, 36%). Rapid attack recurrence after stimulator switch off was reported by 7/12 improved patients (58%). Two patients found ONS-related paresthesias unbearable; one had his stimulator removed, the other switched it off though he was objectively ameliorated. Subjectively, nine patients are very satisfied by ONS and one patient moderately satisfied. Conclusions. Our long-term follow-up confirms the efficacy of ONS in drCCH, which remains a safe and well-tolerated technique. The occurrence of contralateral attacks and isolated autonomic attacks in nearly 50% of ONS responders may have therapeutic and pathophysiological implications.

The retrial of Yara Perez is nearing its end.
Thursday afternoon, defense and prosecution attorneys rested their cases, but not before calling more witnesses to the stand.
Perez is facing capital murder and injury to a child charges in the death of her 3 year old daughter, Jacqueline Gonzalez.
Her boyfriend at the time, Frank Castaneda, was convicted in 2010 for Jacqueline's death, and is currently serving a life sentence in prison.
Defense attorneys, Joe Spencer and Patrick Lara called Dr. Arthur Ramirez to the stand. Ramirez is a court-appointed psychiatrist who met with Perez several times between June 2008 and May 2012.
Dr. Ramirez said Perez fit the profile of a person suffering with battered woman syndrome. He said Perez feared for her life and was controlled by Castaneda.
The defense has been arguing that point since Wednesday with a previous witness.
The day Jacqueline died, November 19, 2007, Perez went home after work to see her daughter covered with bruises, but claims she was too scared to ask Castaneda about the injuries.
After seeing her injuries, Perez still left Jacqueline with Castaneda the same day.
Dr. Ramirez was shown photos of Jacqueline's autopsy.
Prosecutor Penny Hamilton asked Ramirez, "is that, sir, consistent with battered woman syndrome?"
"Yes ma'am, it is," said Dr. Ramirez.
Later Ramirez added, "this woman is not malingering, lying or making up stories to make her situation seem worse. Her emotions were real."
Hamilton questioned Ramirez's ability to know whether someone is lying or not.
He maintained that he could tell when someone is lying.
Prosecution went on to say that the night of Jacqueline's death when authorities were called out to her Lower Valley apartment, Perez denied the existence of her child.
Ramirez reiterated that too is consistent with battered woman syndrome.
After a brief recess, Castaneda's former girlfriend took the stand, but the judge would not allow her to testify in front of the jury.
Diane Potter described the year and a half that she dated Castaneda.
She said he was he was very aggressive, physically and verbally abusive.
"I got beat almost everyday," said Potter, even while she was pregnant.
As Perez heard the testimony, she started to sob, wiping her tears away with a tissue.
Perez was visibly emotional during Potter's testimony.
She recounted the times Castaneda slapped, punched and even pushed her against walls when they lived together.
Defense attorneys asked the judge to reconsider her testimony, but it was denied.

Being the largest player, and really the only significant one, in silver streaming offers Silver Wheaton (NYSE: SLW ) some tremendous advantages. While some might be intangible, other material advantages are certainly apparent. Successful histories with some of the largest miners in the world have allowed Silver Wheaton to contract silver production from mines such as Barrick Gold's (NYSE: ABX ) Pascua-Lima mine and Goldcorp's (NYSE: GG ) Penasquito mine. These advantages have led to bright long-term forecasts from Silver Wheaton brass. For more details on these possible reasons to invest, check out Motley Fool analyst Taylor Muckerman's short video below.
If you are looking for a company whose success is determined by the metals market, but without involving itself in the risks of physically mining the metals, then Silver Wheaton provides a unique play on the future of silver. SLW chooses to finance the mining of silver; it has grown sales and net income every year since 2008, and also has increased competitive advantages over its limited peer group. More details about our outlook for Silver Wheaton can be found here in our Motley Fool analyst report.

Austria's oldest shul? It's a garage
Korneuburg's 15th century synagogue
A group of activists in the Austrian town of Korneuburg is trying to rescue what is likely to be their country's oldest remaining synagogue.
The 100 sq m stone building, built in the 14th century and last used as a synagogue before the pogroms in the 14th century, is currently used as garage.
It was declared a landmark in the late 1990s, according to a 2008 report in the Austrian Standard.
All that stands between the local activists and their dream is about $150,000, (£87,000) said a new member of the group, American Jewish teacher Jeff Kellner, who lives with his wife in the town of some 12,000 residents. The group has been trying for more than 25 years to secure enough cash to renovate the structure and open it to the public.
Mr Kellner said the current owner of the property did not know about its history when he bought it, and would be prepared to sell it.
The problem is finding a buyer. Neither the state nor Austria's Jewish community is in a position to shell out the money, although they would gladly work with the local committee if the property is secured.
Mr Kellner said that he had also asked for help from the New York-based World Monuments Fund.

The eldorado is the most beautiful riding car I've ever owned. It is smooth and quiet and has more than ample acceleration for me. Cadillac has moved toward the better handling cars that require giving up the fabulous ride they were synonymous with to my chagrin. I will likely keep this car for the rest of my life I like it so much.

best cars i have ever loved even harley's
by magnificent obsession from kingston ms | October 11, 2010
Today I have two 2000 eldorodo's in my yard a black on black etc in the garage both on the road. My first was a 1999 esc I had for two years I would have never ever bought one two much money . someone Iworked for as i am an arborist i pruned his tree's, he knew the value of taking care of the tree's . One year in 1999 I went to his home a modest one as he was just a average joe. Well bob had bought this beautiful eldorodo. We talked told me what he paid and in my head i said to my self someday when these cars get old I'll buy one. They had been making this same body style for years and they were old already. Just I was cheap and who wants to pay more for a car than other one's like a monte carlo ( my wife has one i would rather ride in a pinto or disoto or a gocart} of course half the price of a cadilac and of coarse cheaper parts and design. Well bob died his wife calls me a said she would like to have me comeover to look at the tree 's . The car was in the driveway still so pristine no bob though. She said bob died you love the car cut all the tree's every one and the car is yours. Sorry bob and against everything i believe about tree s . They came down like a hurricane hit them. I drove the car for two years pounded miles on it 180000 even then it ran the same and gas millage was better than any other car i had owned. so i went to buy a new one only to be told 2002 they stoped making them. I was willing to finnally spend that type of money on a car and i couldn't I spend 70 thousand or more on a truck bobcat excavator or what ever. my harley cost 30 thousand and my boat too. but until the eldorodo came into my life it would take a act of God to get me to spend the money . I was going to spend it because It took a act of god to figure it out sorry bob he had to teach me somehow . i found a 2000 with 7500 miles on it ive had it four years and just found a etc so i bought that black on black i know i have to sell the second one but it just doesn't get easier iknowing they don't make them anymore. I know they have made a lot of retro cars but they aren't the same either bob

My Cadillac Story
by No more American Cars from Alabama | July 19, 2007
From the first week I purchased the car new in 2000 I have had problems. It has had 4 alternators, 3 catylitic (sp?)convertors, transmssion repair, and began using oil after 2 years--a quart each 1000 miles, new brakes before 15,000 mile. Dealer gave me extra warranty but that has not covered the cost of this car in inconvenience and actual money. They nearly rebuilt it in Denver. The drive is great. The reliability is poor.

A 74-year-old woman with a history of total thyroidectomy and 5 subsequent neck dissections for papillary thyroid carcinoma presented to the emergency department with pneumonia and back pain. She had computed tomography that revealed a large epidural mass involving the T5 vertebral body and left pedicle with significant displacement of the thoracic spinal cord (Figure 1). She did not have any neurological deficits. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy was performed and confirmed the presence of metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma. She had resection of the T5 vertebral body, T4-T6 laminectomies, T4-T6 anterior interbody fusion, and T3-T7 instrumented posterolateral spinal fusion (Figure 2). Postoperatively, the patient was neurologically intact. She later had radiation therapy. Routine examination 3 and 6 months following surgery demonstrated normal neurological function.
Axial (A), coronal (B), and sagittal (C) computed tomography revealed a large epidural mass (arrow) involving the T5 vertebral body.
Postoperative computed tomographic scan (3-dimensional reconstruction) following decompression and mechanical stabilization. An immediate decompression of the spinal cord was achieved; furthermore, the spine was reconstructed during the operation, providing stabilization.
