It is not the purpose of this paper to discuss the numerous theories concerning the etiology and pathology of these interesting conditions, for the multiplicity of ideas is the best evidence of the obscurity which still surrounds them, but to outline a course of treatment which has been beneficial.
Since A. E. Wright, in 1891 and 18931 and in subsequent articles, advocated the use of the chlorid of calcium to hasten the coagulation of the blood, many patients with hemorrhagic tendencies have been greatly helped by it while with others it seems inert. The preparations of the adrenal gland are also of value in many cases.
Boggs,2 in 1904, demonstrated that the lactate of calcium had the same accelerating effect on coagulation as the chlorid.
Wright3 and Paramore,3 in 1905, published the results of a series of experiments in which they used the lactate of calcium

68% of covers people r taking the bruins, come on now. I'm happy to say the NHL season will end tonight. Take the Blackhawks straight up as fast as you can. If u wait any longer they might not be the under dog, by the time u get the play in. Blackhawks all day. I know the bruins are at home but the hawks simply outplayed the bruins last game. It's a simple game plan: get someone in front of rask, hammer some shots at him and score the rebound. The word is out about Crawfords glove side and that has been tAken care of. The hawks didn't set a record this year for nothing. Take the hawks to the bank and wait for them to come home tomo with the cup! I hate winning on other people's turf, but that's how the hawks roll!
The doors are opening a little earlier tonight. With that being said the ice tonight is gunna be sloppy. With the lockout, the playoffs have been pushed back. Currently 83 degrees right now and with the humidity it feels like 96. With all those doors opening and closing the ice will be sloppy. Not only will this effect the players but it will definitely effect the goalies, especially since they stand in 1 spot all night. I know it's game 7 and it's win or go home but I wouldn't be surprised if there were some jumping puck goals tonight. I think the hawks win but it's gunna be from some late comeback heroics.

Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Keep your girlfriends close to you in this photo wall art. It's an easy and crafty design you can do together. You can trade or keep your own, but you can each have one!
- STYROFOAM™ Brand Foam:
- 1" x 12" x 36" sheet, one
- Photos: 10" x 10", two
- Scrapbook paper: 12" x 12", two sheets
- Ribbon, 1" x 3 yds.
- Ruler
- Sharp pencil
- Serrated knife and old candle; or, dental floss
- Thick, white craft glue
- Straight pins (optional)
- Sawtooth picture hangers, three
(Note: Instructions are for two, 10" x 10" photos; however, you can easily use the techniques below to create wall art for photos of different sizes. Your local office supply store or an online photo developer can print the photos for you.)
- Using ruler and pencil, score foam sheet to create three, 12" x 12" squares. Wax serrated knife with an old candle. Holding foam sheet firmly on a flat surface, extend one end and cut across score line, using knife like a saw. Or, try dental floss: stand the sheet on its edge, and hold a 20" length of dental floss along the scored line, positioning one hand at the bottom of the board and the other at the top; draw the dental floss down through the foam sheet along the scored line. Save one foam square for another use.
- Spread white craft glue on foam square; center and glue scrapbook paper to foam square. The scrapbook paper will "frame" the photo and serves as the photo matt. Spread glue on reverse side of photo; center and adhere to scrapbook paper. Repeat with remaining photo.

Green Home Academy
The Green Home Academy was founded during the spring of 2010 . The main aim is to promote sustainable urban lifestyle for an environment friendly way of living. The Academy conducts workshops where participants can learn about sustainable city life from a practical point of view. It means that instead of receiving brochures and listening to boring presentations, they can practically learn as to how they could improve their households to make them more sustainable.
The topics of workshops that were conducted until now:
- Home made cheese and other diary product making,
- Preparation of home made natural cosmetics, soaps and cleaning materials,
- Urban gardening,
- Several kind of old traditional articrafts using upcycled materials (jewelleries, pot making from paper, old textile etc.)
- Healthy/environmental friendly cooking
- Environmental friendly flat renovation
These workshops have proved to be very popular and the participants have always expressed their interest in new projects and endeavours.
Most of the practices we teach at Green Home Academy are well known and accepted by the richly experienced older generations.

Painless Parker
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (October 2011) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|Painless Parker
|Edgar R.R. Parker
Edgar R.R. "Painless" Parker (1872–1952) was a flamboyant street dentist[1] described as "a menace to the dignity of the profession" by the American Dental Association[2] and yet "much of what he championed – patient advocacy, increased access to dental care and advertising – has come to pass in the US."[3] He attended Philadelphia Dental College[4] which would become Temple University dental school. After 6 weeks without a single patient, Parker decided to advertise. He hired one of P.T. Barnum's ex-managers to help him take his practice on the road. He created the Parker Dental Circus, a traveling medicine show with his dental chair on a horse-drawn wagon while a band played. The band attracted large crowds and hid the moans and cries of patients who were given whiskey or a cocaine solution that he called "hydrocaine" to numb the pain.[4] He charged 50 cents for each extraction and promised that if it hurt, he'd pay the patient $5.[3]
At one point he claimed to have pulled 357 teeth in one day, which he strung on a necklace.[4]
He legally changed his first name to "Painless", when he was accused of breaking a false advertisement law by claiming that his dentistry was truly painless.[1][4]
When business thrived, he hired assistants and established a chain dentistry business.[4] In the end, Parker ran 28 West Coast dental offices, employing over 70 dentists, and grossing $3 million per year.
Parker is mentioned in the song 'Orange Claw Hammer', by musician and poet Don Van Vliet.
The Historical Dental Museum at the Temple University School of Dentistry has a display on "PAINLESS PARKER" with his necklace of 357 teeth and a large wooden bucket filled to the brim with teeth that Parker had personally pulled. The bucket of teeth sat by his feet as he lectured to the crowds on the importance of dental hygiene.[3]

Don't Ever Buy a House Without It: Termite Inspection
If you're buying a new house, there are lots of check boxes you'll have to make sure you tick off, from finance-related items to those related to the condition of the home. One of the pieces of information you'll want to make sure to have (and many lenders require it) is a termite inspection report. Termites cause billions of dollars in damage each year.[1] So you want to be sure that your home is free of, and protected against, termites.
4 Types of Termite Control
There aren't many people in this world who would say they "like" bugs. But for homeowners, there aren't many pests more frightening than termites. Not only are they creepy-crawly, like all pests are, but they also threaten to destroy what for most people is their biggest asset: their home. It's true that termite control – whether you already have termites or are thinking about a preventative solution – is an important part of home maintenance. Fortunately, with ePest Solutions you can get the right products to send termites packing, and keep them away.
Termite Bait Will Kill a Colony
Rather than drenching the soil with chemicals, termite bait is a different concept. Chemical drenching seeks to separate the termites from the food source, namely your house. On the other hand, termites are offered different food sources called baits. Termites who feed on the bait are not killed right away so they have time to call their other termite friends to take part in the new found buffet.
If Termites Live in Your Home, Remember Do It Yourself Termite Control
And the fight goes on between homeowners and their fiercest adversary, the termite. Just mentioning the word 'termite' strikes fear in the heart of many a strong homeowner. The cost of treating these home wreckers can run in the thousands. If you have found termites in your home and are afraid of what a professional termite service will cost you, hope is here. You do not have to fear any cost of treating termites simply because you can treat them yourself.
Do It Yourself Termite Control to Protect and Maintain Your Home
Do it yourself termite control is important to the homeowner since professional termite treatments can cost you thousands of dollars.
Termidor Termite Treatment for the Most Effective Subterranean Termite Control
Do you want the most effective subterranean termite control out there? Arguably it would be a Termidor termite treatment. As with any pesticide, read and understand the label. This article will give you a brief rundown of what to expect when you do your own termite treatment. Double check this information against the label before […]

What is a Termite?
When you locate termites in a piece of wood most people would describe them as maggot looking little white maybe even clear insects with legs. Like all insects they do have 6 legs, and their body is divided into 3 clear segments, maybe not as easily defined as some other insects. Termites do have a […]

Personalized ornament
By Nainai
from Orange County, CA
Every year for more than 20 years I give my children and now grandchildren an ornament for Christmas. These fish are great and have the name you order on each. Big and adorable. A choice of colors would have made it even better but I am delighted with how great they look and they are bigger than expected. The low price will have me purchasing ornaments at Miles every year!

When Joanne Landis said she wanted to "get away from it all," she really meant it.
The artist-writer-fashion designer was living in the lower east side of NYC and painting in a tiny apartment when she decided to move to a 9-acre property in Troxelville, a town with a population of 221 as of 2010, according to usa.com.
She lives there without a computer (she has no email address) and is right up against state forest land, which makes for some interesting interactions with wildlife.
Article Photos
MATTHEW PARRISH/Sun-Gazette
Troxelville-based artist Joanne Landis is seen with her "Odysseus" series in Converge Gallery, 140 W.?Fourth St. Her exhibition "In Story" will be on display at the gallery until Feb. 23, with an artist talk-closing reception Feb. 22. For more information about Landis and Converge Gallery, visit www.convergegallery.com.
"I've had a Mexican standoff in the woods [with a bear]," she said. "I've had them in my pond, in my driveway. I've seen them walking on the road."
Being a city person for most of her life, Landis didn't anticipate how animated the woods would be.
"The woods are alive and changing," she said. "It's almost like New York - every time you go out, it's something different: something's lived or died or changed. It's something new."
She said that the bright colors in her paintings come from the colors in her surroundings and that her property makes its way into her artwork frequently, particularly by way of her pond.
"The fish [in the paintings] started because I have these huge fish in my pond," she said. "They take over everything ... I think they're carp. They're grey and gigantic and live for like 80 years or something. I feed them every day; they're like my friends."
Water is a common theme that runs throughout Landis' works like it runs through her land.
"I think it's in most of my paintings," she said. "It's kind of like the blood of the Earth. There's water running through my property and in the woods behind my pond. It signifies life to me in an important way."
Landis' works are on display for her "In Story" exhibition at Converge Gallery, 140 W. Fourth St., until Feb. 23, with a closing reception-artist talk being held Feb. 22.
It makes sense that the show is titled "In Story" and that stories are an integral part of Landis' work - she is a writer after all.
"I'm very involved in the stories of the paintings," she said. "As you know, I write, and that's a really important part of my work. It comes into the paintings in a big way."
Landis also had the opportunity to read some of her writings in front of her artwork during Converge Gallery's last "A Night Of Spoken Word," Jan. 11. Landis has read at the event in the past and said that she enjoys coming.
"I like to hear what people are writing," she said. "And I do like to read. You respond to your own work in a different way when you read it aloud with an audience. It changes how you respond to the words. It's like a theatrical thing to be up there and say it."
Landis has shown some works at Converge in the past and said that the gallery is "wonderful."
"Give Casey his due," she said. "All of the shows he's hung here are exquisite. His choices are wonderful."
Landis has shown in Williamsport several times, including at the Community Arts Center, the Community Theatre League and at the Pajama Factory, among other places, but this is the first time she's been able to present a comprehensive exhibition that features works that span her entire career.
"This is like my history in art. It's different. It's the whole story," she said. "I was really surprised when Casey was picking some of the pieces but I'm really happy. When he pulled some of the older pieces ... I wouldn't have shown them but I think they anchor the show."
Landis' next big show is in May at The Station Gallery in Lock Haven and in September, she will exhibit her "giant murals" at Penn State University.

Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first Prime Minister, sent thousands of troops into a suicidal war with China which top generals had warned the country could not possibly win, according to a secret report leaked last night.
More than 4,800 Indian and Chinese soldiers were killed or injured in the brutal war in 1962, much of which was fought at close quarters and in freezing temperatures at altitudes of more than 4,000 metres in the Himalayas.
The highly critical government report on the reasons behind India's crushing defeat in the Sino-Indian war was submitted by Lieutenant-General Henderson Brooks in April 1963.

Among those gathered outside the Mount Pleasant Avenue apartment building -- where Sha-Ron Moens, a 29-year-old mother of three, was fatally stabbed Saturday afternoon -- were members of her family. A relative said they were mourning and did not want to talk about Moens.
• Police arrest woman in stabbing death of Newark mother of three
• Newark mother of three is stabbed to death in her apartment
Investigators had been looking for the SUV in connection with the stabbing, Carter said, and Venable was taken into custody when she showed up at the police station.
Carter said Venable was taken to Newark police headquarters sometime today for further processing.
Sgt. Andrew Di Elmo, a spokesman for the East Orange police, said a bulletin went out at 5:48 a.m. today, informing department officials the SUV had been recovered on South Clinton Street in East Orange. Di Elmo said he could not provide any further information on the case.
Calls and e-mail messages to Newark police today were not returned.
Neighbors on Saturday said Moens was found with multiple stab wounds in a hallway of the four-story building around 12:30 p.m.
Kenny Jones, the father of two of the victim's children, said in an interview Saturday the suspect was his ex-girlfriend, and that he had broken off their relationship recently to return to Moens and the children.
The attack began when Moens answered a knock at her door, Jones said. He said the woman's killer threw bleach in her face then began stabbing her.
Jones, 39, also said his and Moens' two boys and her daughter from another relationship were inside the apartment when the stabbing occurred. He didn't know how he would explain their mother was gone and never coming back.
Neighbors in the building said the family had moved in about a month ago.
"I saw her a couple of times. She was bringing in groceries," said George A. Brown, who was taking out the trash this afternoon. "She was quiet."
Staff writer Victoria St. Martin contributed to this report.

This year's class included: the late Bob Taylor; Craig Atkinson; Toby Fagan; the 1983 Girls Track & Field Team; and Millville High School coach Faye Campbell.
The room was hot and muggy, packed with about 250 people, which a fitting scene for an athletic occasion.
The categories this year were legacy, 1970's, 1990's, team and coach.
And when the 1983 Girls Track & Field Team was announced, the crowd went wild. The team compiled a 10-0 record during the 1983 season, finishing the season by winning the Cumberland County Championships and the Cape Atlantic League Championships. The team went on to finish 6th place in the South Jersey Group 4 Championships.
The women from the team lined up in front of the room as the crowd screamed and cheered.
The team's coach, Christy Thompson, said she was so grateful to have been able to coach such an outstanding team. She said the team's chemistry is what she remembers most.
"They truly cared about one another," Thompson said. "These women weren't just champions in sports, but champions in life."
Rubye Hutchinson, a member of the 1983 team, said, "We were more than a team. We were a family … we wanted that championship and we got it and no one can take that away from us.
Hutchinson said, "And after 30 years we still look good."
The crowd cheered even louder.
Bob Taylor's son Doug Taylor accepted the award on his behalf. It was an emotional moment for Doug Taylor, having to pause a couple of times as he spoke about his father's prowess during his athletic career and his incredible hard work ethic that Doug Taylor said was passed down to him.
As a wrestler Bob Taylor, Class of 1955, took second in the state championships and then went on to wrestle in college, where he was a two-time All-American and took second in the NCAA Wrestling Championships in 1957.
Craig Atkinson, Class of 1975, led his team to a South Jersey Conference Championship and won two varsity letters in baseball and was named to the All-Academic Team during his senior year.
"We never won every game," Atkinson said. "But neither do you do in life. … I thank my coaches who gave me the tools and foundation and had a profound effect and gave inspiration."
Toby Fagan, Class of 1990, was captain of the Millville High School Wrestling Team. Fagan was a District 31 champion, Region 8 Champion and won a state title in his senior year while boasting a 26-0 record.
After his induction, Fagan said, "It's tough, I never see these people too much anymore. It's such a wonderful community and I miss it. Tonight was something special."
And finally, Faye Campbell, who coached hockey, girls basketball and girls tennis during her tenure at Millville High School from 1969-2007, led varsity teams to numerous team championships and individual honors during her career. Campbell earned 200 career wins as the Millville High School tennis coach in 2004 and was awarded Cape-Atlantic League Coach of the Year in 2002.
Campbell was unable to attend Saturday night's event, but Cristy Thompson accepted the award on her behalf.

2008 Volkswagen Passat Lux
By the look of this Passat, Volkswagen tacked on the whole body-kit and kaboodle when they assembled this car. The add-ons include, among other sporty-looking bits, vents behind the rear wheels. Presumably, this is to promote air flow to help keep the rear brakes from overheating. This strikes me as an odd addition to a car that isn't really sporty, especially when compared to some of Volkswagens other offerings. Add these to the GTI and they wouldn't seem out of place. Fit and finish put this car in a class of its own, far beyond it's dollar amount.

Josh Hartnett was caught off-guard on national television Thursday when he was asked about rumors of a makeout session with Rihanna (which both have denied).
The Hollywood heartthrob – on The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet to promote his new vampire flick, 30 Days of Night – didn't expect the talk show duo to launch into the sort of personal question that arose.
"Let's just get it out in the open here," co-host Mike Jerrick declared after Juliet Huddy praised the actor for keeping his personal life out of the media spotlight – until recently.
"You were kissing on Rihanna," stated Jerrick matter-of-factly.
Hartnett, 29, was visibly uncomfortable with the topic. "Whoa, whoa, whoa ... No, no, no ... C'mon you guys ... This is ... uh ... We weren't supposed to talk about these things were we?"
Huddy replied, "You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to."
The actor replied: "I can't really respond to things like that because if I start responding to them everybody will want a response on anything."
"Half ... 95 percent of the stuff written about me is not true," Hartnett concluded.
And, for the record, he was born in Minnesota, not San Francisco as commonly misreported, he said.

Team goaltending is an important part of success in the NHL. It is even celebrated with its own award.
According to NHL.com, "the William M. Jennings Trophy is an annual award given to the goalkeeper(s) having played a minimum of 25 games for the team with the fewest goals scored against it. Winners are selected based on regular-season play."
The Washington Capitals have not won the award since 1983-84. Braden Holtby and Michal Neuvirth may not break that streak this season, but their collective performance will be judged nonetheless.
With that in mind, here are grades for the Washington Capitals' goaltenders as a unit. Each slide will grade the Capitals' goaltending performance in a specific statistical category, such as goals-against average, save percentage and special teams.
Note: All statistics updated through Nov. 10 courtesy of NHL.com unless noted otherwise.

Tina Fey's New Sitcom — And 11 Of Her Best Comedic Moments!Laurie White
Is it next fall yet? Because listen up, nerds: Tina Fey is back in TV show business.
NBC has picked up a brand new show produced and written by Tina, scheduled to debut in the fall of 2014. It has no name yet, but Ellie Kemper, of The Office and Bridesmaids, is slated to star as a woman who flees a doomsday cult to move to New York.
This sounds perfectly normal for a Tina Fey show, and also perfectly awesome. I watched every season of The Office, and Kemper was my favorite of all of the actors who joined the show in its later years. It'll be fun to see her evolve as a lead.
If you, like me, loved Liz Lemon and 30 Rock, have mourned her absence on Saturday Night Live, and just aren't satisfied with her occasional guest appearance and film, you'll probably be just as happy to have Tina's humor back on the small screen in any way. I'm still wondering if (also known as hoping that) she will have a role of any size on the new show, and if not, what acting vehicle she'll choose next. She's been equally as influential behind the screen as on, but I still have to admit that my favorite things she writes (and ad-libs) are her own lines. I'd also love to see her and Ellie Kemper act together, because I think they'd have good, complementary energy. I'm sure the main character could use an older sister or, er, a cult deprogrammer on her team? Fey could fit either bill.
SNL colleague Seth Meyers said of Tina: "You can't learn talent, but you can learn work ethic. She's the hardest worker. She's an assassin." The length and depth of her show business resume shows that that's true.
While we're waiting to see what she does next, let's take a look at some of the highlights of Tina's nonstop, multi-faceted career.

Tina Fey's Career Highlights 1 of 12
Second City 2 of 12
Tina Fey got her start in comedy after college with the Second City Comedy Troupe in Chicago. She has described her time there as "the best job I ever had, the happiest time of my life in a lot of ways...to be living in Chicago, and to be paid to improvise on a nightly basis, and to be part of that institution was a great joy."
Image credit: Wikipedia
Baby Mama 3 of 12
Tina played a woman hoping to have a baby via a surrogate — played by frequent co-star Amy Poehler — in 2008's Baby Mama.
Image credit: Wikipedia
Sarah Palin impersonation 4 of 12
The reaction to Tina's Sarah Palin impersonation — brilliantly played out during the 2008 presidential election cycle — was potentially more newsworthy on some days than the former governor of Alaska herself.
Image credit: Wikipedia
Date Night 5 of 12
Tina and her husband Jeff Richmond had a date night for the premiere of her 2010 film with Steve Carrell about a couple who had their own night out that ended in mistaken identity.
Image credit: Wikipedia
Megamind 6 of 12
Fey voiced Roxanne Ritchie to Will Ferrell's Megamind and Brad Pitt's Metro Man in this animated film.
Image credit: Wikipedia
Hosting The Golden Globes 7 of 12
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler hosted the Golden Globe Awards in 2013, to smashing success. It was announced last month that they'll have the gig again in 2014 and 2015. Hint: even if you've sworn off awards shows for some reason, you should show up for this one. Amy and Tina crushed it, and I'm sure they'll repeat that for the next two years.
Image credit: YouTube
Mean Girls 8 of 12
Tina wrote the screenplay for this wildly popular teen classic film, starring Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams, among others. Mean Girls was released in 2004.
Image credit: Amazon
Saturday Night Live 9 of 12
Writer, star, and now frequent guest, Tina was on SNL from 1997 to 2010. One of the funniest women in show business history, in my opinion, it's hard to say what was and wasn't her influence as a writer during her tenure, but I will say that I don't think there was much better on television than Weekend Update with Tina and Jimmy Fallon or Amy Poehler.
Image credit: YouTube
Bossypants 10 of 12
Tina's bestselling book, Bossypants, "isn't a memoir," said the New York Times. "It's a spiky blend of humor, introspection, critical thinking and Nora Ephron-isms for a new generation." It covers Tina's story from childhood, through college, career, and motherhood.
Image credit: Amazon
30 Rock 11 of 12
A tv show within a tv show, with a frenetic pace that showed viewers that Tina was definitely in charge, 30 Rock was one of the best things to happen to television, ever. That's just my opinion of course, but I know for sure I'm not alone in this one.
Image credit: Wikipedia
Mark Twain Prize for American Humor 12 of 12
Tina was the third woman and youngest person ever — at age 40 — to win this prestigious award. She was the 2010 honoree.

Ratings for Dr. Kim Northcott
Professional. Pleasant. Courteous. Detail-oriented. Keeps a wide view to help have no false negatives. Explains things clearly and fully. An excellent rheumatologist in all respects. I couldn't ask for better. Helpful front staff too. Please keep up the great work!
Very disappointing visit. The doctor did not listen to what I had to say, was quite curt and then told me I had used up my time and she had other patients. I felt invisible.
A very concerned and caring Dr with a sense of humour. She is thorough and knowledgable! Staff very helpful too!
thought she was wonderful! personable, approachable. very thorough. very knowledgeable. faxed bloodwork over to lab while i was still in the room. running about 15 minutes behind.
My experience was very negative - no follow up and discharged without notice. Find someone else.
Dr. Northcott was friendly, concerned and took a LOT of time with me. I left with a feeling of hope after coming in feeling quite distressed over my change in health. She explained everything in detail and was very clear she was there if I needed her.
Dr. Northcott was wonderful. Very easy to speak to, very thorough and explained everything as we went along.
What a great doctor who allows you to share in your care by speaking at length with you.
This doctor talked AT me and looked THROUGH me. She was cold, impersonal, technical. I felt like a billing number not a human patient. I receive no information or advice about my problem. I will not return to such a doctor.

Updated Georgian abode
Charming Chillington village
Don't be deceived by the Whitehouse hotel's historic Georgian exterior or quaint Devonshire coastal village location of Chillington; this airy little hotel is the opposite of chintzy, fussy and overdone. Its six spacious rooms have been stylishly outfitted with chunky wooden furniture, huge beds covered with Frette linens, and ensuites worthy of an urban loft. Despite all this, we doubt you'll spend all that much time in your room, as the hotel also has a plush movie screening room, extensive gardens perfect for croquet and cocktails and a delicious restaurant that specializes in shared platters of house-made charcuterie and local cheeses.

The federal Transportation Safety Board is releasing later this morning its final report on the devastating train accident in Lac-Mégantic last July.
47 people were killed when a runaway train carrying crude oil exploded in the town center.
The TSB's investigation focused on several possible factors that could have led to the accident, including a possibly poor repair job that could be linked to the engine fire that night on July 6.
Other factors include the kind of oil that was being transported, the one-man crew used to run the train, how the brakes were applied, the railway infrastructure, and the train cars themselves.
Transportation safety officials had concluded in past reports that the DOT-111 tanker cars were vulnerable and likely to release their contents in an accident.
The oil was highly volatile, which was not indicated on the shipping manifest.
The railway was using a one-person crew on the ill-fated train. Transport Canada only finalized guidelines for such single-person train operations two months before the rail disaster.
The train engineer had applied seven hand brakes, when company regulations stipulated nine should be used.
That engineer, Tom Harding, and two other employees of the now-defunct Montreal, Maine and Atlantic face charges of criminal negligence causing death.

LETTERS: Horror in the desert, Capitalism exposed, A sample of readers comments
Horror in the desert Re: Retraining for what? World supports Zelaya A sample of comments from www.pww.org
EDITORIAL Madoff is just tip of the iceberg
Finance capital went to confession, told the judge its sins, and he administered the penance — 150 years in the clinker for 79-year-old Bernard Madoff.
EDITORIAL Big step backward
The city of New Haven threw out a fire department promotions exam because it yielded results that did not promote equality.
Health care mess: how we got into it, how to get out of it
In 1979, the newly elected mayor of Chicago, Jane Byrne, at the recommendation of some labor union officials, named me to be a "consumer commissioner" on the City of Chicago Health Systems Agency (HSA) Board of Directors. I remained in that position for three years. I can't say that either I, or the HSA, accomplished much, but it certainly was an educational experience.
PEOPLE BEFORE PROFITS False hope on the economy unless
In March, Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke saw 'green shoots' in the economy. Since then, various economists and government officials have seen signs that the recession may be bottoming out, with hopes that economic growth may start later this year. And many journalists in the business media are joining in, acting like paid touts for the stockbrokers.

Hello! Welcome to the official web home of Rifa, UK-based project manager, speaker, advocate for women in tech, founder of Refigure and SheSays Brighton organiser. She is also on the board of trustees at Lighthouse Arts and also has her own weekly radio show on Juice 107.2.
Rifa is a hugely experienced project director and Scrum Master with many years in London and Brighton agencies, working on a fancy assortment of blue-chip and left-field clients. She is also a dedicated activist for women in the digital industries and in 2011 started SheSays Brighton; organising and hosting an ongoing series of successful networking events.
"Hello, I'm Rifa Thorpe-Tracey. I love digital, social media and technology – I've worked as a PM for major web-builds since the first dot.com boom of the late 1990s. I offer planning and creative consultancy to start-ups and corporates. Please check out my client list, to the left, to the left. And scroll down for testimonials. Let's do a project together, it will be fun!"
Recent clients include: Channel 4 News, NBC, Wellcome Library, DACS and The Week magazine. Rifa was part of teams that recently launched 4oD app for Android devices and the Harris + Hoole coffee store loyalty card app for the iPhone. She also produced for the banking industry, bespoke technology solutions for corporate events as well as research projects for the NHS Innovation Centre. She was the sole web producer for the first Channel 5 site in 2000 managing a team of 20 designers, programmers and editorial staff. Rifa developed the concept and UX for the "Where to Eat" app, now available on the App Store.
"Rifa is one of the best producers, and people, I have ever worked with. She brings a level of energy, passion and creativity to her projects that few can match, that combined with her ability to keep a cool head at all times makes her the perfect producer. Her skills go far beyond production though and I also recommend her for her communication, mentoring and leadership skills (and many others too!)."
"I joined Brilliant Noise at the same time as Rifa, and within a few days it was apparent that she was one of the most talented producers I'd worked with. My opinion of Rifa, her skills and her abilities only grew more positive during the rest of our time working together. Rifa attacks new work with refreshing energy and enthusiasm, while at the same time keeps things running in a dedicated and thorough fashion on existing, long-term client projects. She understands priorities, client needs, budgets and internal demands on teams she works with, and handles it all with unfailing good humour and friendliness. On top of all this – and if you hadn't guessed already – Rifa is also just a super nice person, full-stop. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Rifa again in future."
"Rifa is an organised, efficient and extremely personable Project Manager. Her ability in managing a full project lifecycle as part of a 3rd party supplier team is superb. Under demanding circumstances she managed priorities, processes and made us feel that we were the only project she was working on. I would not hesitate to work with Rifa on other projects."
"As a manager dealing with both the client and internal staff, Rifa was excellent at making sure all team members had what they needed in a timely fashion. She can balance many different work streams at the same time, and takes responsibility seriously."
"Efficient, thoughtful and incredibly supportive, Rifa was an integral part of the team at Clearleft and on the projects she managed. An incredible asset for any team lucky enough to work with her."
"Loved working with Rifa. She's everything you need from a project manager – diligent, flexible, creative – managing more than I'd dare consider. What's more, she's part of every team she manages. In my experience, that's pretty rare in the PM world."
"Rifa is the one… She's a highly experienced, extremely skilled project manager who'll put your mind at rest and earn the respect and friendship of your entire team. This is what she did for ribot and she was only with us for three short weeks! Expectations met and truly exceeded we simply cannot recommend Rifa highly enough. Please come back and see us soon!"
"At Clearleft I worked with Rifa on multiple concurrent projects with different clients. She is extremely accomplished at adapting to the working practices of different organisations, and at managing the complex client/agency relationships that come with that. She works very well with all types of stakeholders from senior executives to developers and designers, providing the right amount of detail and support when required. Rifa brought an efficient and calming influence to some tough projects. I always appreciated this and thoroughly enjoyed working with her."
"Rifa is an excellent person to have on a team; organised, responsive, and empathic to client needs. Rifa is also highly supportive of creative processes, never letting the management stuff get in the way of the creating bit. Recommended!"
"I've worked on several large projects that Rifa has project managed. Each of these projects has gone smoothly, and this is in no doubt down to Rifa's project management style. She has a unique ability to keep projects calm and stress levels minimised throughout the team. She's incredibly supportive, without interfering, and clients adore her friendly personality. Rifa is a highly experienced and talented project manager and I'd love to work with her again."
"Rifa is the only project manager I've ever worked with that I've invited over to Sunday lunch with my family. That says all you should need to know about her personality and demeanour. Unfussy and calm, she is a master of the art of intervening only when necessary, a rare skill in project management. And a welcome skill, for those of us who just like to get on with the job. I look forward to my next project managed by Rifa."

Her project management of the projects I was involved in was top rate, wish I had someone like that where I currently work."
"Rifa is a very talented and knowledgeable Digital Project Director and is a great asset to Caburn Hope. She is able to bridge the gap between technical and non-technical staff, and was very adept at explaining complex issues to clients. She was always a calming influence under pressure and has strong project management skills."
"I was fortunate enough to work with Rifa early on in my career. At the time she had already acquired a deep understanding of the commercial pressures and general needs of our customers.

She communicates well throughout and has managed the workload within a tight timeframe. She has an excellent technical knowledge and is therefore able to negotiate well with suppliers. She is a pleasure to work with. "

Are you a hypocrite?
What is something you have done that you said you'd never do?
I do.
hmm...I think I said that I wouldn't go back on a punishment.
That ship sailed YEARS ago.. :(
I always thought I'd be a mom who smacks, I vowed I would discipline my kids with a smack. I spent years defending my right to smack my child. I hate smacking my son's hand for touching things and I use dstractions, no in firm tones and take things away. I can't believe how having a baby changes you to do things you wouldn't do and not do things you thought you would do.
Quoting LML1:
I'd never swear in front of my dd. After unexpectedly stepping on small plastic monkey and sliding into a split holding a basket of laundry... yeah not my proudest moment

Les Arts Décoratifs & Lunch at the L'Ilot Vache
I was there with the patrons group that supports the Pittsburgh Symphony generously, led by Richard and Ginny Simmons. I joined Jayne Adair and Basil Cox, there with Alice Snyder at our table, plus a group who raved about the concerts they've heard so far.The restaurant was L'Ilot Vache – named for the cows who once roamed this island – whose windowsills are crammed with a wide assortment of cow figurines. The boeuf on the table was the best – and I'm a vegetarian, as I've mentioned before. A flexitarian tries things, though. The oeufs en meurette was a soup-like beef stock with egg and bits of bacon. The poissons were beautifully presented, and for desert, a bread pudding – pain perdu à l'ancienne et sauce caramel.
On our way to the museum we passed the famous bookstore Shakespeare and Co.Fortified, it was off to the Museum of Decorative Arts, just next to the Louvre, which featured those Louis XIV chairs and Limoges enamels; armoires, tapestries, pianos and much more. A special exhibit detailed the way men and women have used underwear to shape an impression. The codpiece for men; and for the ladies, the bustle, crinoline, whalebone stays, the push up, etc. There was a segment of "Gone With the Wind" dubbed in French in which Scarlett O'Hara is tied into her underwear by her nurse. Some of it was funny and some cruel. Museum visitors could try on hoop petticoats, but I avoided the temptation. I ran into the part of the Honeck family in the lobby as Teresa and Simeon were on their way out the door. Teresa was off to visit Monet's garden at Giverny with orchestra members. Someone mentioned Simeon looks just like Justin Bieber, and even his Dad has noticed the similarity with his son's hairstyle and Justin.
The cyclists had a field day today in the sunshine, and tomorrow it is back to work: a full afternoon rehearsal and evening concert at the Salle Pleyel in Paris.

The Elimination Chamber didn't really shock fans with anything new, and instead, opted to keep layering the stories for WrestleMania as the event closes in.
That isn't to say there weren't a few moments that didn't raise the eyebrows of those watching that left fans with something to talk about.
From impressive showings to interesting announcements, there were a few twists that are worth noting for wrestling fans, especially leading into Raw tonight.

"Look! An El Camino and a Ranchero interacting in their natural habitat!! Ohh, lets observe without disturbing them."
Hushed whispering ensues from inside the safe enclosure of the gas station, the bus then comes and scares both the Ranchero and El Camino off.

Why I Do Science: David Wood
David Wood, professor emeritus of entomology, has had a strong influence on a generation of land and resource managers as well as on the pest control industry. He continues to run an active research laboratory in the College of Natural Resources.
I love trees.
I love trees because they form forests, which bring so much beauty and serenity to a crowded and fast-paced urban world. My parents exposed me to the beauty of the eastern hardwood forest as they fished, watched birds, and collected wild berries on weekends.
How do insects find and colonize trees? This question has provided me with endless fascination and challenges for a professional lifetime and beyond. The integrating discipline is insect behavior. Some forest insects, such as the spruce budworm, gypsy moth and bark beetle, develop epidemic populations which result in the death of trees over vast areas. For example, in the largest epidemic ever recorded, the mountain pine beetle is estimated to have killed trees over 130,000 square km range in British Columbia at the end of 2006. Global warming has been implicated in this particular outbreak.
I began work on bark beetles during my dissertation research. Bark beetles must aggregate on trees in order to overcome tree defenses. In collaboration with organic chemists we isolated these aggregation pheromones (chemicals which attract the opposite sex). In collaboration with plant pathologists we isolated the blue-staining fungi that are carried by these beetles, and through dye studies, demonstrated that they interrupt the flow of water in the sapwood. We also showed that ponderosa pines weakened by photo-chemical air pollutants and by black-stain root disease were more likely to be killed by bark beetles than trees without these problems.
Although students and postdoctoral scholars in our lab have worked on other forest insects, such as carpenter ants that tunnel in giant sequoias, subterranean termites in wildland and urban forests, spittlebugs, and weevils, bark beetles have been our primary focus. Bark beetle biology is endlessly fascinating and stimulates research questions at the molecular, species, tritrophic, guild, community, and landscape levels of biological organization. And the results contribute to both the applied and basic research worlds.
Our recent studies have uncovered new relationships between native bark beetles and the recently introduced "pitch canker" and "sudden oak death" pathogens. They introduce the pitch canker pathogen into twigs, cones, and the main stem, and then kill the weakened trees. Ambrosia beetles are attracted to the SOD-bleeding cankers and tunnel into the sapwood, thereby reducing the the flow of water in the sapwood and weakening the main stem, resulting in tree failure. Bark beetles are also associated with tree failures that result in wildland fires. The lack of thinning in much of our western forests has lead to bark beetle outbreaks and subsequent wildland fires. The beetles also exploit trees injured by both prescribed and wildland fires.
Humans interact with forests in many ways that favor bark beetle activitythrough our management practices, by producing smog, and by introducing exotic species. Im proud that my labs work has lead to new understandings about these ecological processesthat will help sustain our forests for future generations.

Report: New York cops on alert for 'cheese' heroin use among teens that has plagued Dallas area for years
The concoction of cold tablets and Mexican black tar heroin that first surfaced here back in 2005 has made it to the Big Apple. Maybe.
The New York Daily News reports that authorities there have seen a spike in heroin use among young people. While cheese heroin "has not been seen much in New York," authorities are receiving briefings on the drug and believe that the cheap, addictive and often deadly substance could be playing a role nonetheless.
Heroin use among teens is on the rise in the city – and the Drug Enforcement Agency fears cheese could be the next step.
"It's the makings of a recipe for disaster," said John Gilbride, who heads the Drug Enforcement Agency's New York office.
Heroin, associated with hardcore junkies and needles, has lost some of its stigma among teens who snort, rather than inject, the drug, Gilbride said.
Dealers are stamping packets with kid-friendly brands such as Mickey Mouse, Lady Gaga, Looney Tunes and Lion King, the office of New York Special Narcotics Prosecutor, Bridget Brennan said.
The percentage of public high school students who have tried heroin increased from 1.3% in 2007 to 2.6% in 2009, the city Health Department said.
Despite the small numbers, the DEA says it's recently seen more dealers marketing heroin to a younger audience and more teens busted for using it.
Cheese has claimed at least 30 local teens in North Texas since 2005 when it was first discovered by DISD detective Jeremy Liebbe. The Dallas County medical examiner's office does not have the capability to track the deaths, which appear to have slowed, but local treatment centers say the drug is still ensnaring young addicts.
We've written extensively about the cheese crisis in recent years, including these reports:
• 'Cheese' plague escalates in DISD, April 8, 2007
• 'Cheese' crisis runs deep, April 15, 2007
• Irving ready to fight spread of 'cheese' heroin, September 18, 2007
• 'Cheese' flowing into area suburbs, September 30, 2007
• Quietly, 'cheese' heroin problem continues to plague young people in Dallas-Fort Worth, May 10, 2010

Milk Punch for Mardi GrasJulieVR
Milk punch, a creamy bourbon-based drink similar to eggnog, is popular in New Orleans, where on March 8 Mardi Gras will be in full swing. If you want to celebrate with some authenticity, milk punch is easy to make: simply add bourbon and honey to taste and sprinkle each glass with freshly grated nutmeg.
Here are a few variations if you want to shake it up a bit:
Non-alcoholic Milk Punch: kids can celebrate too with chilled or warmed milk, sweetened with honey. Shake it up with ice in a martini shaker to make it frothy, or heat it until steaming to serve before bed. Either way, add a sprinkle of grated nutmeg on top before serving.
Milk Punch Milkshake: blend a scoop of vanilla or caramel ice cream or frozen yogurt, a shot of bourbon (if it's for grown-ups, of course!) and enough milk to make it the consistency you like. Pour into a tall glass and top with grated nutmeg.
Scotch Milk Punch: whisk 2 cups milk and 2 Tbsp. honey or maple syrup in a saucepan over medium heat until steaming; stir in 1/2 cup Scotch whisky and pour into mugs. Top with freshly grated nutmeg.
Warm Milk Punch: in a medium saucepan, whisk 2 cups milk and 2 Tbsp. honey or maple syrup in a saucepan over medium heat until steaming; stir in bourbon or whisky to tatste and pour into mugs. Top with freshly grated nutmeg.
Hot Chocolate Milk Punch: whisk 2 Tbsp. cocoa and 1 Tbsp. honey into 1 cup of milk; bring to a simmer in a small saucepan. Serve as is, or with a shot of bourbon. Top with marshmallows (in which case it's really just hot chocolate) or grated nutmeg (which makes it milk punch-esque).

According to a recent report by Sports Illustrated, NBA commissioner David Stern and deputy commissioner Gary Silver will take a serious look at suggesting a change to Olympic basketball.
Rather than have it be a free-for-all among the best in the game, the commish is looking to appease those who feel that younger guys should get their shot.
In other words, he wants Olympic basketball to become a 23-and-under affair for the Team USA.
Rather than debate the potential ramifications of this move, let's contemplate what the 23-and-under roster would look like. From young stars to up-and-coming talents, this team could do some real damage.
Legacies would be made, medals would find new meaning and the sport of basketball would grow.
So, who's up for a change?

Current Projects
Spitfire X4683
The Jurca Spitfire project is based on the Mk I Spitfire X 4683, flown by the then Flt Lt Lovell, who on the 30 March 1941 shot down a JU 88 at Eston Hills, Cleveland.
The Junkers Ju 88 (4U+GH) was on a photo-reconnaissance sortie to Manchester when it was intercepted by two Spitfires of 'B' flight 41 Sqn based at RAF Catterick, the pilots being Tony Lovell & Archie Winskill.
A history of Anthony Desmond Joseph Lovell – Wing Commander
Tony Lovell was born in Ceylon on the 9th August 1919, & educated at Ampleforth College. He joined the RAF on a short service commission in November 1937, attending 6 FTS at Sywell, before joining 41 Sqn in late 1938.
Promoted to Flying Officer in May 1940, he saw his first saw action over Dunkirk at this time & throughout the Battle of Britain.
On the 28th July his Spitfire was shot-up by Major Werner Milders of JG51 & he crash landed, going to hospital with a leg wound. He was shot down again on the 5th September, baling out of R6885 near Benfleet, this time he was unhurt.
Flt Lt Tony Lovell 2nd in from left.
At the end of the month he was promoted to command a flight & on 26th November received a DFC. On 23rd May 1941 he was rested, going to 58 OTU, Grangemouth, as an instructor, & then in mid June to Catterick as an OPS room controller.
In late October he was given command of 145 Sqn, going to the Middle East with this unit in early 1942, receiving a bar to his DFC. Before the squadron became operational he was posted to HQ RAF, Middle East, going to 252 wing as a controller, & from there to 13 sector OPS room.
On the 21st July he was flown to Malta, taking command of 1435 Flt, which had just been reformed with Spitfires, this unit becoming a full squadron on the 2nd August.
The beginning of 1943 saw him rested again, returning to controller duties at 8 sector OPS at Malta as a Wing commander. He returned briefly to operations for a few days in March1943, but in July became Wing Leader at Safi.
November 1943 saw him move to HQ NAF Coastal Air Force, then to 242 Group, in early December he joined 322 as Wing Leader, leading this unit to Corsica in March 1944 for operations over North-west Italy & the South of France.
On the 14th August, as the landings in Southern France got underway, he left the wing to join 1 Mobile operations room unit, Med Allied AF. He commenced a fifth tour of operations in November 1944 as Wing Leader 244 wing in Italy, also receiving a US DFC at this time, but in December was posted to 71 OTU at Ismailia as Chief Instructor. Here in February 1945 he received a bar to his DSO.
With the end of the war, he was posted home to the UK in June, where in July he joined the school of air support at Old Sarum as a supernumerary, taking command of the 5 Co-Op wing there at the start of August.
On the 17th August 1945, eight days after his 26th birthday & two days after the end of the war he took off in the communications Spitfire XII, EN234.
Tony Lovell - Stood in cockpit
He was seen to become airborne two-thirds of the way down the field, when he immediately raised the gear & held the aircraft down before performing a slow roll to the right, exiting about 100ft, he climbed slightly & began a second slow roll in the same direction.
After hitting some telephone wires the aircraft struck the ground, Tony was found dead some 15ft from the wreckage by a Brigadier Hicks.
Tony had 1510 solo hours, of which 1190 hours were on Spitfires.
News on this Project
- The Spitfire wing has been signed off & painted.
- The engine mount is away for structural analysis.
- Simon has renewed his display licence.

BRIDGETON - A man indicted Wednesday for sexual assault of a minor died today after suffering a brain aneurysm Thursday night at Cumberland County Jail, according to officials.Henry Barron, 65, of South 2nd Street in Millville, was indicted this week for first-degree aggravated sexual assault and second-degree endangering the welfare of a child, for allegedly "committing an act of sexual penetration" on a 9-year-old child.
Cumberland County Jail Assistant Warden Bob Balicki said this morning that Barron was taken from the county jail around 7 p.m. last night.
"He was looking pretty bad when they took him out," Balicki said.
Balicki said that the aneurysm appeared to have occurred naturally and was not the result of physical injuries in a fight or from taking drugs "that (he) knows of."
Emergency surgery was performed on Barron but was unsuccessful, the assistant warden said.
Barron was taken off life support today.
"He passed away," Prosecutor Ron Casella said around 1 p.m.

UNCTAD Expert Meeting Addresses Trade in the Context of Green Economy
November 2011: The Ad Hoc Expert Meeting on the trade and sustainable development implications of the transition to a green economy, convened by the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and UN Environment Programme (UNEP), considered key aspects and challenges of the transition to a green economy.
The meeting, which took place from 8-10 November 2011, in Geneva, Switzerland, included a high-level session on the necessary conditions for the green economy in the context of the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD, or Rio+20), during which speakers also discussed the need and options for moving beyond the green economy discourse.
Two panel sessions addressed key aspects of a transition to the green economy, focusing on county perspectives and management aspects of the transition at the national level, such as the role of green technology innovation, technology transfer, limitations in access to green technologies, compulsory licencing and international cooperation.
A panel on trade issues considered the role of trade-related measures in supporting the transition, including potential trade tensions created by green policies and options for international cooperation to mitigate such tensions.
A final panel discussed UNCTAD's message to Rio+20, with a focus on: UNCTAD's role in providing assistance to deal with key development challenges in the context of the transition; and UNCTAD's role as neutral, non-negotiating forum for evidence-based policy discussions and promoting better understanding of issues at the intersection of trade and the green economy.
