A Driffield based rail campaigner has claimed an increase in fares could see a significant reduction of tourism for East Yorkshire.
Rail passengers face an increase of 3.5% in train fares in 2015.
The fare rise is determined by adding 1% to the just-published Retial Prices INdex inflation figure for July, which is 2.5%.
Train companies also have the option to add another 2% to some fares.
David Walford, of the Yorkshire Coast Community Rail Partnership, said: "I feel that Rail North's decentralisation formula could lead to a significant downgrading of services in neighbouring areas in preference to those of Leeds, Sheffield and Manchester."
They have no interest in certain areas such as East Yorkshire which puts us in a difficult situation.
He said: "The direct train from Hull to Scarborough runs every 30 minutes running through Driffield and Bridlington which is a good service and it brings a lot of tourism into the area. It is these services that we need to protect.
"An increase in our fares would consequently be subsidising changes and improvements to West and South Yorkshire trains."
Chancellor of the exchequer George Osborne has come under pressure to cap rail fare increases as figures show ticket prices are rising almost four times faster than wages.
With the Government committed to setting fares at one per cent above inflation, commuters between York and Leeds could see their season ticket go up in January by more than £70 to £2,097 while travellers between Malton and Hull will be paying £3,373, up from £3,256. Northern Rail passengers in Yorkshire are facing higher prices next month as the company introduces evening peak tickets.
Michael Roberts, director general of the Rail Delivery Group (RDG), said: "Money from fares pays for more trains, better stations and faster services on what is already Europe's fastest growing, safest and most improved railway. Over the next five years, £38 billion will be invested in improving the network.
"Government decides the average change to regulated fares, including Season tickets, each year. For a decade, successive governments have regulated commuter fares so as to increase the share of rail's costs paid by passengers rather than taxpayers.
"Our commitment is to enable future government fares decisions which work best for passengers, by continuing to get more out of every pound we spend and encouraging more train travel to pay for services and improvements."

My interview with CineSport's Noah Coslove. We talk about Georgia Tech's up-tempo offense, two players who have to come through for the Yellow Jackets and the always fun "How many wins?" question.
My interview with CineSport's Noah Coslove. We talk about Georgia Tech's up-tempo offense, two players who have to come through for the Yellow Jackets and the always fun "How many wins?" question.
I'm predicting Justin Thomas both rushes and passes for over 1000 yds and Zach Laskey, the most underrated FB/RB/BB in the nation has close to 1500 yds, while Smelter gets over 1000 all purpose yds. Go Jackets, cant wait till saturday.
If coach Johnson was beating UGA nobody would care what type of offense he was running. If he wants the job that something he going to have to do.
Coach Paul Johnson will be the GT Head Football Coach for many many years; I am a true fan and solid GT supporter............I say IF you don't like Coach PJ then find a different team to follow!
If you are a GT fan..........support he team & the coaching staff during the good times and the rough spots!!!!!!
Coach PJ has a significant number of positive attributes, he represents the institution in a very positive fashion & he (including his Triple Option Offense) is a great fit at GT.
What the heck is this?
No Wrexie? LOL
Sorry folks had to say it.
Go Jackets!
8 wins minimum...all you whiners crying 6 wins max can go pound sand........
Six min, 9 max, 8 likely
Sorry, six max, unless Gotsis gets hurt early, then it would decrease from there. Beyond the first three, who do we have a realistic shot at - Duke, UVA, Pitt, NC State. We have a bad habit of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory once or twice a year.
Here's a better question - which quarterback can transition back to a regular offense the best in 2015?
Good interview Ken! I heard quite a range there, anywhere from 6 to 10 W's you said. If only 6, as BJ said, maybe move on in 2015. 7 makes it a tougher call. 8 is great for CPJ. I'm going be optimistic and say a bowl win gets us 8 and a little momentum going into 2015.
6 wins and we move on in 2015.
nice job, I'm going with:
O Beakout player: Chris Griffin
D Beakout player: Keshun Freeman (We agree)
Wins: 10
@gatechclassof95 Dont present facts. That will upset the pj apologists.
Funny how bad pj is against the big 4, yet some still support him. Must be on his payroll.
Now gt has a much tougher duke and unc to deal with. And we all saw the blowout loss to that powerhouse middle tennessee. Could tulane or ga southern do the same?
Darn right! We could go 1-10 every year as long as we beat UGA, as far as I'm concerned.
Winning the ACC is of little significance to me.
@DallasJack.................BigTimeJacketFan.............. is WnE.
@SupersizeThatOrder-mutt I'd expand this to 5 wins min and 10 max, 11 counting our bowl game. I'd take the over at 6.5 with 7 being most likely, but I think we'll actually get 8 wins too. Clemson, UM, and UGA with one stupid loss thrown in. Should the Lord above find favor with the white and gold, then maybe we'll take a couple of those games and eliminate the stupid loss.
@BigTimeJacketFan woof woof
Do you seriously think we will lose to UVA or NCST? If so you obviously know nothing about college football.....
Bham how about if we win more than 6, YOU move on?
BigTimeTECHFan >bigtimejacketfan
@nevrenuftime @gatechclassof95
Love how the comment was deleted, too.
Let's not criticize the highest paid employee at Georgia Tech, who makes almost $ 3mil/yr.
Is that right? WOW, I hadn't even thought about that, but now that I re-read his posts, I think you're right. So once again he has stolen and twisted another blogger's name. SHEESH, how much lower can the jerk stoop?
" SHEESH, how much lower can the jerk stoop?"
To quote Bachman Turner Overdrive, "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet"........
OMG, that's scary
@SupersizeThatOrder-mutt @GTLee
Yet one more time our resident liar show how classy he is,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,all low

Dr. J Steps Up Plea
NBA great Julius Erving -- Dr. J -- believes that his missing son Cory, 19, is still alive, although he concedes that the teen was probably on drugs at the time of his disappearance over Memorial Day weekend. On Monday's edition of ABC's "Good Morning America" (Erving made a similar appearance on NBC's "Today"), Erving said, "I don't think he was clean. I think he was still participating." Erving spoke from a TV studio in Philadelphia, home of his greatest basketball success. At a subsequent news conference, Erving revealed that he had learned from a friend of his son that Cory had been indulging in marijuana and "roofies" -- the slang term for the illegal sedative Rohypnol -- the night before the disappearance. Dr. J appeared at the Philly City Hall with his other sons, Cheo, 27, and Julius III, 26, who choked back tears as they described their brother and pleaded for him to come home. The national hotline number to help find Cory Erving is 888-609-2529.

Januik Winery Red Table Wine 2014
$19.95 Regular
The nose is brimming with Rainier cherry, vanilla and rich dark chocolate. Medium full on the palate with an elegant, lively mouth-feel and a balanced finish packed with fresh berry and cherry. - the winery
2009 Vintage Tasting Notes
The 09 is a blend of 50% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Malbec. Lots of bright red fruit, supple and smooth, good tannins and a persistant finish.
2008 Vintage Tasting Notes
2008 Wine Spectator - Dense and chewy, with layers of raspberry, cherry, mineral and spice flavors, finishing with pear peel tannins. Shows unexpected depth on the finish. - H.S.
2006 Vintage Tasting Notes
The 2006 Januik Red Wine is a stylish blend of mostly merlot and syrah. The first sip shows layers of ripe, red, almost sweet fruit flavors mingled with layers of toasty new oak that linger for minutes on the palate. And I really like the soft, silken texture.
Mike Januik created this little quaffer for everyday drinking, but the wine is anything but ordinary. Excellent blend of cab and merlot from some of the finest vineyards in Washington- a best buy.

The legendary highlands of northern Scotland, with its crumbling castles and scenic lakes, witnessed an unusual series of events during the month of June, as 100 churches joined forces to attract young people back to Christianity.
"We have kids that are lost and have no hope, and if we can reach them, and if that means changing some of our methods, then by God's grace we'll do that," Graham Swanson pastor of Elgin Baptist Church said.
One hundred churches in eight towns and villages worked with the Luis Palau Evangelistic Team, drawing young people to events filled with family fun and music. And a new generation of preachers, including Palau's son Andrew, delivered an invitation to follow Christ.
The meetings concluded with festival rallies in the city of Inverness. The Palau association estimates that since 1999 their festivals have taken the gospel to as many as eight million people in different parts of the world.

Officials say the virus, koi herpes, is not harmful to humans or other fish, but could cause secondary bacterial infections that can cause illnesses in humans.
It is encouraged that people use protective clothing such as gloves when removing dead carp due to any other bacteria the fish may carry.
Fish carrying the virus may show signs of damaged gills, sunken eyes and enlarged spleens.
The DNR began investigating the die-off on July 21st in the state and federal waters of Horicon Marsh and Lake Sinissippi.
The bacteria is naturally present in surface water and when fish are stressed or their immune system is suppressed, the bacteria can cause infections and diseases.
Given the dense population of carp in the Rock River system, biologists believe the disease will continue to advance until water temperatures begin to cool as fall approaches.
Koi herpes caused significant carp die-offs in New York in 2005, Michigan in 2011 and Ontario Canada in 2007 and 2008.

Hello everyone! Here is my annual blog post covering special yoga events and classes in and around Boston on Christmas Day, New Years Eve, New Years Day, New Years Weekend, January 1st and beyond is back!
This year there is more yoga being offered than ever (I may have to rethink how I assemble this list in future years. Many studios are keeping their doors open through the holidays and it may become unwieldy. Let me know if you have any suggestions.) I hope this collection inspires you to practice with your favorite teacher or even venture across town to try a new studio or participate in a new community.
May the transition into the new year be calm and grounded time for you all. May 2014 be a time of renewal and space for you.
Hope to see you around. -Bethania

Beckenried is the ideal starting point for excursions round Lake Lucerne. Regular boats on the lake and the car-ferry from Beckenried-Gersau make it easy to reach tourist destinations in the region, including the majestic Rigi mountain on the opposite shore of the lake.
The longest cable-car in Central Switzerland takes you from the centre of the village of Beckenried up to the hiking and biking area of Klewenalp-Stockhütte. At the top station of the Klewenalp cable-car (1593 m) is a large children's playground, a pet's zoo and a "marmot park". You can spend the night in the mountain inn or, for a special adventure, in a tepee camp. A panoramic circular walk offers excellent views of the surrounding scenery.
The Klewenalp-Seelisberg family safari is particularly popular, involving several rides on little railways and the post bus. After travelling up to the Klewenalp, the circular tour takes about 1.5 hours on foot through meadows and pine forests to the Stockhütte. Then you can rest on the cable-car down to Emmetten. The tour continues by post bus to Seelisberg and then by funicular railway and boat back to Beckenried.
The little resort of Seelisberg (800 m) is like a peninsula, surrounded by Lake Lucerne, with beautiful views of the lake and mountains. A nostalgic funicular railway leads from Treib on the lakeside (with a boat stop and bathing beach) up to the village. The little lake or "Seeli" which gives the village its name is a little mountain lake near the village, ideal for bathing or camping fun.
Between Beckenried and Seelisberg is the resort of Emmetten (774 m). Old and young will enjoy the playgrounds and a wildlife-spotting footpath. A cable-car gives access to the pre-alpine hiking area around the Stockhütte (1279 m) and on the Niederbauen (1812 m), which is particularly popular with hang-gliders.
The family-friendly skiing area of Klewenalp-Stockhütte offers ten lifts and 30 km of skiing and snowboarding slopes of varying degrees of difficulty, at between 1600 and nearly 2000 m. From the Klewenalp with its ski school, crèche and 15 km of footpaths, the longest sledging run in Central Switzerland, 9 km long with a difference in altitude of 850 m, goes via Stockhütte down to Emmetten.
- Klewenalp-Seelisberg family safari – a popular walk for young and old, including cable-car, post bus and boat rides.
- Alpine hike – by cable car to the Alpine Beckenried-Klewenalp hike and hike to Gitschenen, cable car to Isenthal and bus to Isleten, from where a delightful boat ride back to Beckenried makes for a grand finale.
- Emmetten wildlife-spotting footpath – information notices along the 11 km long path tell you interesting things about the fauna on the Oberbauenstock. A guided tour at dawn increases the probability of observing wild animals such as red deer, chamois, ibex, marmots or eagles.
- Weg der Schweiz (Swiss Path) – themed walk about the history of Switzerland going round the southern part of Lake Lucerne: starting from the Rütli meadow – birthplace of the Swiss Federation – the path leads via Seelisberg along the Urnersee.
- Lake Lucerne – historic steamers and launches invite you to discover the landscape from the water.
- Lucerne – it is only a 75-minute boat ride from Beckenried to Central Switzerland's main tourist and shopping centre in Lucerne.
Top Events
- Carnival in Beckenried - Carnival celebrations with a procession through the streets (February).
- Country Alpine Open-Air Klewenalp – modern and traditional country music played against a fantastic mountain backdrop (July).
- Yodelling service in the mountain chapel on the Klewenalp – every second Sunday (summer).
- Nidwalden "Alpchäs Märcht" in Beckenried – market with regional cheeses and speciality meats, children's entertainment (November).
- Christmas market and St. Nicholas parade – market during the day with around 70 stalls offering artisanal products and typical local food. Parade from 8 p.m. with about 450 bell ringers, beautiful "Iffelen" (mitre-shaped lanterns), horn players and St. Nicholas (first Saturday in December).

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
England's Greater South East (an area including both Brighton and London) is the biggest health technology cluster in the world, according to David Parry, Ph.D., CEO of the South East Health Technologies Alliance. It is home to 4,700 biotech, diagnostic, medical device, and pharma companies, generating £100 billion ($142.6 billion) in revenues annually, and can also boast four of the top ten universities in the world, Dr. Parry said at a recent bioProcessUK meeting.
Other pronouncements at the meeting included that of bioProcessUK director Tony Bradshaw, Ph.D., who said that he expected the upcoming "review and refresh" of the Bioscience 2015 report to be even more supportive of bioprocessing.
Malcolm Rhodes, Ph.D., technical director at bioProcessUK, reflected on significant developments like the purchase of CAT and MedImmune by AstraZeneca. He also noted that the U.K. biological medicines pipeline is steady, and capability for Phase III has increased; however, other countries such as Germany and Denmark are also rapidly increasing their pipeline. Bottom line, the U.K. needs to start new businesses to replace those that are being bought by pharma. "We cannot afford to be complacent," he added.
Mark Bustard, Ph.D., technical manager at bioProcessUK, highlighted the importance of knowledge transfer partnerships and the collaborative R&D program of the Technology Strategy Board (TSB, a business-led public body promoting technology and innovation for U.K. business that funds bioProcessUK). bioProcessUK assisted the TSB in assigning £10 million ($14.25 million) in funding for cell therapy projects in 2008; the next call is for highvalue manufacturing projects, which are an excellent fit for bioprocessing.
Rosemary Drake, Ph.D., CSO of The Automation Partnership (TAP), explained how the company had benefited from TSB Collaborative R&D funding to develop the Sonata—a shake-flask approach for bioprocess optimization. "It has become increasingly difficult to develop complex solutions using conventional funding approaches," she said. "The development of a cell culture system can cost millions and take several years. VCs rarely invest in capital equipment and, although a consortium approach is valuable, it is hard to align more than three companies. For Sonata, TSB supplied about £440,000 ($674,064), matched by £1million ($1.4 million) from TAP.
"This has been important for our strategic development," Dr. Drake added. TAP has partnered in two more TSB projects—one with Intercytex on autologous cells for regenerative medicine and another with UCL on rapid automated fabrication of tissue for corneal stem cell therapy.

Time Warner (NYSE: TWX ) just released its earnings statement, where earnings per share came out far ahead of analyst predictions. This was largely led by the company's 11% increase in advertising revenue, although driven also by films such as The Hangover franchise, Superman, and The Great Gatsby. In this video, Motley Fool consumer goods analyst Blake Bos discusses Time Warner and its current valuation, which he likens to Disney's (NYSE: DIS ) right now. Blake also tells investors why this entire sector of content-generating media companies is on his stock wishlist at the moment.

Baskin-Robbins bandit turns himself in, again
WOODINVILLE--A 27-year-old Kirkland man police say robbed the Woodinville Baskin-Robbins twice turned himself in, again, last week.
King County police say the man called them early Aug. 9 from Seattle and was taken into custody. Police say the man robbed the ice cream parlor June 15, making off with cash from the register as well as the tip jar, though he wished clerks "a nice day." Before that, the man called police May 25 and told them to come pick him up. The previous week, police say he walked into Baskin-Robbins, asked for money and left with an undisclosed amount of cash, sipping a Cherry Coke and mumbling distractedly. He was released then due to a lack of information, according to King County Sheriff's spokesman John Urquhart. He said the case has been forwarded to county prosecutors.

Located on and fronts Kona Country Club's golf course in the prestigious Keauhou Estates community, gated for security with 24 hour guard service. This home sits at a comfortable elevation of 700 feet. From the pool deck enjoy an unobstructed view of the Pacific Ocean, sunsets and the nighttime lights of Kailua-Kona.
We stayed in the home for our 28th wedding anniversary. The home is lovely and the view is absolutely breathtaking. Even though the weather was a bit gray, the temperatures were very moderate and the rainy weather allowed us to catch up on some reading time. It was a very quiet neighborhood and swimming under the stars at night in the private pool was way more than we bargained for. I highly recommend this location, and the owner is very accomodating with our requests.
We are a family from British Columbia, Canada. We had four adults and one 19 month baby and stayed Apr 1-16/2015. I cannot rave enough about our experience with the house, Evone and Jerry. Both Evone and Jerry were very helpful when I had any questions or concerns. The staff at the security office was very friendly as well. The instructions and directions sent to us for our arrival were dead on and the house was extremely easy to find from the airport! Because we were travelling with a baby they arranged for a crib, highchair and booster seat to be at the house so we didn't have to rent or bring our own. The house was in great shape, considering its age. I am a clean fanatic and I found the cleanliness of the house to be pretty good. The house came with some pool toys that my daughter really enjoyed. We found that between the fans and the windows being open the breeze was nice and refreshing with no need for the air conditioning (even though the temp was 28-30 degrees celsius the entire time we were there). Some window coverings would have been nice especially in the bedrooms. The pool was amazing and the views are to die for. The kitchen was very nice. There are a couple sets of stairs only 2-3 stairs per set, my baby has always been blocked from stairs at home but she mastered going up and down the stairs very well while we were there and I wasn't worried about her being around them at all. The light switches were somewhat confusing but after a couple days we were able to figure them out and they also left a book how to use them for people who have issues with them. The house is bright and beautiful when you walk in. If we return to Kona we would most definitely stay at this house again without hesitation. Checkout was suppose to be at 10am and our flight wasn't leaving until 9pm, I contacted Evone about a later checkout, she was so helpful and understanding. The house is very close to restaurants, downtown shopping, grocery store, beaches, pharmacy, etc... We went to Hilo (about 1.45 hours from house) and did the Helicopter tour over the volcano which was amazing, we went to the seahorse farm (super cool) and to the zoo (which my baby loved). The grounds crew and pool cleaner were super friendly and didn't cause any disruption when they came. Staying at a house verse a condo or hotel (especially with a baby) was so relaxing and fun, couldn't have asked for a better holiday. Thank you Jerry, Evone and everyone else for contributing to an amazing vacation
We are a family from Oahu (5 adults/2 children ages9 and 14) It was a staycation.
This was a wonderful home to stay in, instead of a hotel. The home was clean enough. Bright and Airy. This home was comfortable to be in and the daily rate was reasonable. We cooked several meals at home. There was a shopping center nearby so we could go to the market, drugstore, and ate Mexican food there.
The master bedroom was beautiful with a jacuzzi. Granddaughters enjoyed it everyday. They also enjoyed the pool everyday. Supervising them was easy because the living room, dining room and kitchen is on the same level with the pool. The views of the ocean and sunsets were great.
This home is located near the town. One day we drove all the way to visit Volcano National Park and on another day played with snow on Mauna Kea. Also went snorkeling at Kahaluu Beach Park.
Evone, the person I was in touch with and Shari the housekeeper was very helpful!
We spent Christmas through mid February in this house. Location is fantastic, View from the pool is Awesome got even better with the removal of a flowering thorn tree on January 2, 2015. Now you can see straight to Kona Pier. The house has 2 1/2 baths 3 bedrooms and a large game room with pool table, foosball table, dart game and very dated TV's in all rooms except the master bedroom (which does not have a TV). The house in pretty good shape considering it is about 30 years old and has only basic upkeep maintenance done to it. There are no window coverings which cause a big issue about 5 pm in the afternoon when the back gets direct sunlight. This causes the temperature in the house to raise by about 20 degrees. I was told you did not need air at this height but found we needed the air almost every day during our stay. The air was adequate except the unit in the Master never did work. The house is quiet except in the master bathroom where you might just as well have been sitting with the neighbors at their outside table. You could hear virtually every word they were saying.
Be careful of the many steps and levels in this house especially if you have children or elderly staying with you. The kitchen is the one area that has had money spent on it with a gourmet kitchen that extends through the dinning area to an outdoor Kitchen area with gas grill. The lighting system in the house in complicated to say the least. Not sure what happened to on/off dimmers switches. Looked like someone tried to get cute with European switches of some sort that don't work properly. All in all I would highly recommend this vacation rental. Wish I could share the sunset view with you. I guess you will have to book it and see for yourself. Awesome and all in Paradise.
I have decided to take a moment and share our terrible and unfortunate experience. Upon our arrival, we were very disappointed. The house was extremely neglected, and I am at a lack of words to describe how filthy it was. I am not a cleaning fanatic, far from it. However I had to clean all the inside of the kitchen cabinets and wardrobes, as they were disgustingly filthyHaving travelled half way around the world, needless to say we were jetlagged and tired. On the 1st day we noticed that many light bulbs were missing throughout the house.Upon our second day of our arrival, we contacted the owner, and he sent a handy man to repare a few things. I would have appreciated had this been done prior to our arrival, since we were after all on holidaysThe repairs were obviously not due to something that had broken just 24 hours prior to our arrival. Pieces of wallpaper falling off the walls, the lighting over the kitchen table was not working, the screens in the windows were dirty and torn, filthy shower curtain, no window convering in all rooms. With the brightness of the day, we were greeted by the sun at 6 o'clock in the morning. The paint in the pool was caling, patio furniture was old dirty and rusted. Oh yes, the BBQ was also broken.The sound system dis not work. Not that not having any batteries in the T.V. remote control is a tragedy, however I expected and took for granted that the remote should have been working. There was a vacuum cleaner, however it was broken and therefor could not be used. No cleaning tools such as a pale or mop to clean the floors…must I truly go on!Unfortunately there was a pipe that burst in the master bedrooms bathroom during the night. This created a massive overflow of water into the master bedroom. The owner showed up the following day with a helper to vacuum the water that had infiltrated to the master bedroom carpet. No furniture was displaced to do a thural cleaning. The smell of mildew remained throughout our stay. The lack of concern by the owner to see if everything was all right the following days was non existing and frankly quite disturbing . A cleaning lady had been promised to come and do a proper cleaning, however she never showed up throughout the stayBy the way, the view from the pool was beautiful.Even though the owner seems to think all is fine, he so generously went to get a vacuum cleaner and BBQ upon our request.I would never go back or recommend this house. Yves Tremblay
This is a roomy house at one time probably beautiful. However it has not been kept up. Housekeeping did not clean. Rust and dirt. Microwave greasy inside. Wallpaper coming apart at seams . White carpet, dirty. Had to kill large coch roaches daily. The pool is really dirty filter is not working. The office staff were great. But I think they are unaware that housekeeping is not doing their job and that house is not being kept up. The view is awesome. The pool would have been good but you don't dare get in it. Sad to give such a negative report but staying in small hotel room is better than this
This house was much better than staying at a hotel. You have a full kitchen, entertainment, a pool outside your door, and no loud people on the other side of the wall. What more could you ask for? Had a couple little issues, but management sent maintenance over immediately for repair. Can't wait to stay here next time with the kids. Weather was a little warm, but never needed the A/C. Fans did great! View was awesome! Only hope this house is available when we come to visit Hawaii again!! Thanks.
The home is only minutes from downtown Kailua-Kona, beaches, surfing, snorkling, jet skiing, parasailing, scuba diving, and Kona's world famous deep sea fishing. World class golf courses (Waikaloa, Mauna Lani, Hapuna and Manua Kea and others) are all located within a 45 minute drive. The Big Island's volcano remains active with brilliant glowing flows of red hot lava into the ocean. Volcano National Park is located a pleasant two hour drive to the south. Mauna Loa's Kleck Observatory, one of the world's most prestigious, is located a two hour drive to the north. Airport Distance: 15 minutes.

In a population of 44 patients receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) for a total of 591 patient months, there were 104 episodes of peritonitis. The organisms were gram-positive in 65.4%, gram-negative in 23.1%, and cultures of the dlalysate were sterile in 11.5%. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most frequently encountered gram-negative organism, accounting for 38.5% of the gram-negative infections or 9.6% of all infections. In all cases of P aeruginosa peritonitis, aminoglycoside antibiotic therapy for up to four weeks failed to eradicate the infection, and all patients required removal of the Tenckhoff catheter because of the presence of a sinus tract infection. We conclude that P aeruginosa is the most frequent cause of gram-negative peritonitis in patients receiving CAPD. The presence of a sinus tract infection should be suspected in all patients in whom peritonitis secondary to this organism develops. Removal of the Tenckhoff catheter will be required to cure the peritoneal infection.

Scott Collins just got baptized in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Collins, 31, who grew up in a nondenominational Christian church, was baptized in the Mormon church this past week.
About a year ago, he married Dana Collins, 28, who joined the LDS at age 23 after being reared in the Pentecostal and Nazarene traditions. He was drawn to the faith after the birth of their son 17 months ago.
Having her husband in the faith pleases Dana to no end.
"I'm excited we're gonna live right and go to church and be sealed in the temple," she said. "Our children are gonna live right. I'm ecstatically happy."
Before Scott Collins' baptismal day, he talked about his decision.
"The reason I want to be baptized is because a lot of their beliefs are the same as I was raised with," he said. "You have to live by God's laws; you have to be baptized. ... Another reason I'm going to be baptized is because the first time I went to church there is the first time I felt the (Holy) Spirit."
Two Mormon missionaries assigned to Amarillo regularly teach the Collins family. Elder Jared Hatch is from Herndon, Va., and his companion is Elder Jacob Hills of Dawson Creek, British Columbia. They are both 20 years old, and are among the 55,000 or so young people worldwide who are completing missions for the church.
They recently checked on the Collinses' spiritual progress: Are the couple keeping up with their Scripture reading? (They hadn't completed 3 Nephi 11-28). Are they praying morning and night? (Night only). The elders encouraged the Collins family to pray together morning and night and encouraged Scott Collins to initiate morning prayer.
Hatch and Hills gave a lesson that was part theological instruction, part encouragement and part preparation for Scott Collins' baptism. Elders include bits of their personal spiritual history; Hatch keeps a penny in his shoe that reminds him to pray.
The missionary way - unpaid youths who travel in pairs, visit members or potential converts, help out where they can - was very attractive to Dana Collins when a pair first knocked on her door five years ago. Big smiles, courtesy and a nonjudgmental attitude toward her home and clothing won her heart. She listened to the missionaries' lessons and decided to join the church.
"When I did pray, I felt this calm, peaceful feeling. It was the (Holy) Spirit. That's when I knew the Book of Mormon was true," Dana Collins said.
She is excited that someday her marriage to Scott Collins can be sealed in the Lubbock temple and that their children, Clay, 17 months, and Macie, 3 1/2 months, will be raised in the faith she loves.
Hatch and Hills, who have both worked in Texas and New Mexico, are zone leaders in addition to their missionary duties. As zone leaders they are responsible for 14 young men - called elders - and four young women - called sisters - who also do mission work in the area. Hatch and Hills are neither afoot nor on a bicycle. Because they go to other towns for meetings or to move other missionaries, they drive a Chevrolet pickup owned by the mission.
Brent Rose, based in Lubbock, serves as mission president. He is responsible for the 110 young men and 16 young women who serve in the Texas Lubbock Mission. The mission's area covers all of the Panhandle, south to the Mexican border, east to Brownwood and west to Santa Rosa, N.M., and north to the New Mexico-Colorado border.
He and his wife, Dianne Rose, are from Stansbury Park, Utah. They are serving a three-year mission themselves supervising the young people. Brent Rose, 56, is on a leave of absence from his job as a water rights attorney.
Elders, most of whom begin at about age 19, serve 24-month terms; and sisters, who start at about age 21, serve 18 months. Missionaries and their families provide partial support during the service. The church provides housing.
Before Rose became the mission president, he served as a stake president in Utah. That means he was responsible for the bishops, or local church leaders, underneath him and for each missionary's call.
He and his wife arrived in Lubbock two years ago, about the same time as some young people about to return home, so he's seen the entire cycle from call to completion.
"I used to send out these young men as caterpillars, and I get this butterfly after two years that comes back. What's been wonderful, I've been able to watch this metamorphosis that occurs inside the cocoon of the mission field. These young men mature and develop and become so capable as teachers, dealing with people," Rose said.
Missionary rules are strict - no television, radio, magazines, movies or romance. They can call home twice a year - Christmas and Mother's Day. They get a day off, but six days a week are on call to teach, door knock or help others until 9 p.m.
"They sacrifice a lot to do this," Rose said.
Hills said being a missionary is hard physically and spiritually. He is assigned to work with Spanish speakers all over Amarillo and studies the language every day.
Hatch's dad served at a mission in Spain. His brothers went to Taiwan and Mexico City, so he was surprised to get Lubbock.
"It's as if you're on a roller coaster every day, and you can't take rejection personally," Hatch said.
On June 27, Hills and Hatch spent time on Roosevelt Street knocking on doors to talk about their faith. They were quick to notice details: bicycles in a yard probably means children live in the home. If two cars are parked in the driveway, but no one answers the door, that probably means the missionaries are being ignored.
At one home, a 13-year-old boy staying with his grandmother talked to Hills and Hatch.
The boy gave them his address and told them when his parents get off from work. They promised to return, but won't try to convert him without his parents' presence and consent. They left him a copy of "For the Strength of Youth," which outlines the church standard of behavior.
At another home, a woman ran them off: "If you're not Baptist, I don't care to talk to you," after Hills and Hatch engaged her daughter-in-law outdoors.
"Nice to meet you, too," Hatch answered and off they went.

Words without Borders announces its June 2012 Issue: The Queer Issue III

Words without Borders announces the third installment of its annual Queer Issue
New York City, New York, June 1, 2012 — Words without Borders (WWB) magazine announces the publication of its third issue dedicated to LGBT writing from around the world.
Continuing its tradition of using literature as a lens through which to view the world we live in, Words without Borders presents an issue that puts LGBT themes at its center and explores them in novel and illuminating ways.
WWB Editor Rohan Kamicheril noted: "A collection like this presents a rare and special opportunity, and it's gratifying to see so many exceptional writers take on this theme to such illuminating effect. The stories, poems and accounts in this issue will be a revelation to fans of great writing everywhere."
This June's issue includes fiction, a comic, nonfiction, and poetry from nine countries: Algeria, Bangladesh, Colombia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Israel, Mexico, South Korea, and Uruguay.
The writers we've selected stake new claims on familiar themes, and unearth insight in unaccustomed places. Uruguay's Cristina Peri Rossi lets us in on a psychologist's thoughts on love and fading youth, while Alonso Sanchez Baute's narrator is sideswiped by the news of Gianni Versace's death. Cuban Mabel Cuesta combines memories of early love and new traditions, and Dominican poet Frank Baez follows the Marilyn Monroe of Santo Domingo from Havana to New York City. Bangladesh's Shaheen Akhtar provides a charm against dreams of snakes. South Korea's Kim Bi shows us a young girl struggling with the world's response to her father. Israel's Ilana Zeffren confides in a household friend about her partner, Algerian poet Jean Sénac explores the intersection of love and country, and Salvador Novo gives us a glimpse into the untold lives of gay writers and artists in post-Revolutionary Mexico.
Elsewhere, we feature poetry from Myanmar from poets Lyn Swe Aye, Tin Moe, and Myo Myint Swe, and also offer up the haunting conclusion of our serial publication of Sakumi Tayama's "The Hole in the Garden."
The issue will be released June 1, 2012.

The oddest thing happened as I started to watch Martian Child. The movie opens with John Cusack narrating ... or at least it was supposed to be Cusack. But the voice triggered a sense of deja vu: I'd heard it before, but not out of this particular actor's mouth. When his character started talking about his latest science-fiction novel, suddenly I figured it out, and it was freaky: I was seeing John Cusack and hearing Albert Brooks (who also played a sf author, in Mother). The sensation was uncanny, and almost impossible to shake. During the slower parts of this movie, I found myself wondering whether Cusack had some kind of secret chronic throat ailment and had been dubbed by Brooks.
Perhaps if the movie had engaged me more, I would have forgotten about the weird voice thing as the story progressed. Unfortunately, Martian Child never drew me in, although some scenes made me laugh and the cast was terrific. The movie was directed by Menno Meyjes, who also worked with Cusack in the 2002 film Max, and was based on a semi-autobiographical novel by science-fiction writer David Gerrold (who wrote the Star Trek episode "The Trouble with Tribbles"). span style="font-style: italic;">Martian Child focuses on author and widower David (Cusack, not Brooks) who is still getting over his wife's death. He and his wife had planned to adopt a child, but when the agency finally calls him, he's reluctant to raise a child alone. However, the hard-to-place Dennis (Bobby Coleman) catches his attention: the boy has decided that he's from the planet Mars, and spends the day in a large box (unsubtlly labeled "Fragile: Handle With Care" on the front), wearing sunscreen and sunglasses to protect him from Earth's harsh climate. Eventually he and David interest each other enough that David takes him home on a trial basis, subject to approval from social worker Lefkowitz (Richard Schiff).
I feel like I've seen this movie a dozen times already, most recently as No Reservations and Reign Over Me. An adult whose life is lacking in some way encounters a kid (or Adam Sandler) who is burdensome at first, but ends up filling the spiritual holes in the adult's life. The twist with Martian Child is that the child claims to be from Mars ... and who knows, maybe he is! But there's no real suspense here. On the other hand, you don't watch a movie like Martian Child for the suspense, you watch it for the touching and heartwarming relationships, basking in the warmth of the human spirit as mixed-up people coax others out of their shells, and all that kind of thing.
Martian Child succeeds more in bringing us comic elements than relationship drama, however. Cusack delivers his dialogue perfectly and the lines are often hilarious ... but too glib and artificial. It seems implausible that even a science-fiction author who lets few people into his inner sanctum would spout such long and clever sentences, especially to a small child. The characters don't seem like real people -- Dennis is just another adorably dysfunctional kid, and Amanda Peet is relegated to the stock role of the perky girl who might be a romantic interest. Joan Cusack is a lot more fun as David's sister Liz, a mother of two who is skeptical of the entire adoption endeavor, but who still tries to support her brother and show affection for Dennis.
How in the world did an otherwise undistinguished movie end up with such an incredible cast? It seemed like every 10 minutes, another familiar face would appear onscreen, sometimes for only a scene or two, but making you hope they'd stick around. Howard Hesseman has a single scene as an understanding psychiatrist. Sophie Okonedo and Oliver Platt have too-small roles. And near the end of the film, Anjelica Huston magically appears and nearly steals the movie. Why couldn't we see more of her and less of Amanda Peet? (In fact, imagine if Huston had Peet's role. Now that would be novel and interesting.)
Martian Child isn't a bad movie, but it isn't very interesting one either. Although not too dull to sit through without some enjoyment, it's forgettable within 24 hours of watching the movie. It's a lovely looking film, with gorgeous settings and photography -- the DP is Robert Yeoman, who's worked on Wes Anderson films. But Martian Child isn't emotionally involving enough even to be a shallow tearjerker. The Cat Stevens song on the soundtrack reminded me that I'd rather be watching Harold and Maude again, and overall, the movie made me want to watch John Cusack in something good -- maybe a Simpsons episode where he and Albert Brooks play brothers.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of oil and gas service provider Core Labs (NYSE: CLB ) jumped 10% today after reporting fourth-quarter earnings.
So what: The company said revenue was up 4.4% in the quarter to $254.5 million, ahead of the $247 million analysts expected. Earnings per share were $1.17, $0.04 ahead of estimate.
Now what: Deepwater drilling is driving results and the expansion in this area should continue for some time to come. I'm just leery of buying a company that is growing this slowly for 22 times next year's earnings estimates. I need to see more growth before thinking that it's a good value, especially after today's jump.

Inquest rules Indian woman died of 'misadventure'
Savita Halappanavar died in an Irish hospital after abortion was denied
Mike MacLachlan, London International
April 22, 2013
Irish abortion laws came under scrutiny at the weekend after the inquest verdict on an Indian dentist who died in hospital after being denied a termination.
Savita Halappanavar, 31, originally from Karnataka, died of medical misadventure, a jury ruled unanimously.
Her husband, Paraveen Halappanavar, told a leading newspaper, The Irish Times, that he hoped the verdict would hasten legislation ensuring that no woman would die in such circumstances again.
The newspaper further noted that the Irish government was likely to come under increased pressure to legislate on abortion after evidence that she would have lived if her pregnancy had been terminated.
But anti-abortion groups welcomed the coroner's recommendation that the country's medical council "should lay out exactly when a doctor can intervene to save the life of a mother" – in other words, that it is a medical issue rather than a legal one.
A spokeswoman for the Pro-life Campaign said guidelines to provide clarity for doctors "may result in the unintended loss of the baby."
She said the case had been used by those seeking legalisation of abortion in a way that was "little short of shameless" and offered sympathy to Praveen Halappanavar.
Halappanavar was also praised by the coroner after the inquest ended on Friday. "You showed tremendous loyalty and love to your wife," he said.
Savita Halappanavar was 17 weeks pregnant when she was admitted to University Hospital in Galway last October and died a week later from blood poisoning.
Her husband says doctors refused an abortion on the grounds that "this is a Catholic country" though a consultant denied in evidence that she had said this.
Halappanavar maintains that his wife would be alive today if her pregnancy had been terminated. He said after the inquest that he was "still optimistic" that the law would change.
"The question that has always been in my mind is why Savita died. It has been very tough," he told reporters.
"Today [Friday] was actually our wedding anniversary so it's even more hard. Hopefully there will be bright days ahead and something good will come."
He described his wife as having been overjoyed at the prospect of a child. The couple, part of a 3,000-strong Indian community in Galway, were "living the dream," he said.
He still had no clarity on why his wife had died, he said, and he owed it to her and her family to pursue the truth. The treatment she received was "horrendous."
He would now "sit back and consider the next step."
The Press Trust of India reported on Saturday that he was planning to pursue the case through the European Court of Human Rights.

You can change it to DAK
October 17, 2008, 08:22 PM
I have a P245 that was changed from DA to DAO by the previous owner. Dont know if SIG did it or not. I was lucky enough to get the original parts in the box when I bought it and I swapped them back, as I prefer the gun in the standard DA mode to keep things simple.
The DAO trigger was very nice, but it was not a DAK trigger. I'd have to go look around for the parts, but I believe it was just a hammer/trigger swap. Of course, I had to put the decocker back too, when I switched it back. The DAO didnt use it.
October 18, 2008, 10:06 AM
thanks for all your responses. i have an older 226 that i was thinking of converting to dak .i wll report back wth results.

Just wondering why you would want to do this?
Harley Quinn
October 18, 2008, 01:21 PM
Tests have shown that it is safer. In days of old when we shot revolvers (LAPD) they went to DAO and it was proven to be much safer. The folks during that period of time had to have their revolvers "denutted" as we would say:) On and off duty if you carried off duty own revolver it had to be done.
Really is interesting because now they are carring Glocks, which out of the holster are pretty easy to shoot accidently ;)
October 18, 2008, 05:07 PM
If your considerations of changing to DAO are for legal reasons only, disregard what's below. If not: why would anyone try to diminish the performance of a gun? If there is a possibility to shoot better with more trigger pull, I am yet to see it. The general mechanics of accurate shooting is simply that the lighter the pull, the better the accuracy. Of course, hairpin pulls are dangerous, but a sensible balance meets most demands. As a PD (LAPD) was indicated in this thread, I will admit that my experience is limited in this area. However, proper training is always the most important issue. For competition in my country, anything above a .22LR must have a minimum trigger pull of abt 3lbs. This is pretty light, but easily managed in a safe way, if you are used to it. Doesn't everybody say: keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot?
Just my 50 (euro) cents.
Sail safe
October 18, 2008, 05:40 PM
I actually shoot tighter groups with most guns in DA than I do in SA, and my SIG's are no different. The only reason I swapped mine back, was because all my other SIG's are stock, DA pistols, and it keeps things simple if they are all the same.
With a little practice, shooting well in DA is no more difficult than it is in SA, and once your used to it, I think you'll be surprised by the results. I learned this quite a few years ago shooting big bore DA revolvers with heavy recoil. It doesnt take long for the recoil to wear on you and you start anticipating the shot breaking, especially with a light trigger. With the heavier DA trigger, you have to concentrate on your sights and holding the alignment while you stroke the trigger, and the let off is more of the "surprise" its supposed to be. My groups quickly shrank once I started shooting this way, and I soon cut off the hammer spurs and SA notches on most all my revolvers and shot DAO with them from then on. When I switched from a 1911 to a DA SIG, the DA trigger was no big deal. SA is no big deal either, nor is the supposedly "dreaded" transition between the two, or at least, it never was for me. Safety wise, as I just decock with my off thumb, each time I lower to ready.
October 18, 2008, 06:03 PM
on a carry pistol i prefer no external safety,hammer,decocker etc.and a consistant trigger pull is a must.i usually carry a p7 or glock,i've had ths pistol for years and was going to trade it for a newer sig with a rail and a dao or dak trigger,but that would cost me .so that had me thinking of converting this one.
October 18, 2008, 06:59 PM
Check the year your SIG was made before you buy the parts, as far as converting to the DAK your gun would need to have been made after 2005.

Richer and larger-scaled than the Framboisiere, showing more depth and structure. Finishes with good length. This vineyard is actually located beneath Framboisiere but its soil is redder and richer in clay content.

Know any home remedies for infertility?
for both males & females?
Cheat! And then freshly tell the partner they did it.
Become Catholic.
Infertility used to be just about 80% a woman's problem. We are now looking at around 50/50. A study done by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH - USA) contained by 1994 showed that of the 2983 chemicals used in the cosmetic industry (that is not a short time ago makeup, but shower gels, toothpaste, shampoo etc) 884 of the ingredients be found to be toxic.
Of those:
314 can cause biological mutation
218 can incentive reproductive complications
778 can cause acute toxicity
146 can motivation tumours and 376 can cause skin and eye irritations.
This study is 13 years old-fashioned now so you can conjure up how many more chemicals are mortal used now.
To supply the both of you the best chance you obligation only do two things:
1) Adequate nutrition
2) Detox the body
Many ancestors are not aware of how nutritionally depleted our foods are nor of the harmful ingredients used surrounded by our personal care products.
If it be me I would like to research along those lines first. For more information please email me directly at email@example.com so I can forward an on-line presentation to you. There is a lot of medium attention given to synthetic additives but they don't say where on earth you can access safe products. I can show you how.

When I am going to various appointments, people invariably ask me about my occupation, to which I have learned to say, "retired."
I put in my 35 years, and now I am doing my own thing, which has been enjoying life and writing about those often unique and much valued experiences both past and present.
They usually press me for details so, leaving out the years, I worked in human resources. I tell them I was a psychologist primarily working with children and adolescents. Every time I divulge that information, the response is "that's too bad because we could really use your services in this area."
It sort of makes me almost feel guilty for retiring, but not quite.
However, as I survey the Central PA region, I have found that we are hurting for psychologists and psychiatrists, especially those who are trained to work with younger populations. This trend has also been identified in many areas across the U.S.
It is my hope that as more people enter college they will consider the psychological sciences as a viable career path. I can honestly say that I found my clinical work with children, adolescents and adults to be both challenging and rewarding.
As our world grows more complex, heaping additional stress upon us, we will need qualified mental health professionals to guide us through the barrage of assaults that our environment hurls at us.
Those individuals who offer an open door and a helping hand for working through life's difficult issues bring true value to our overall health and well being.
