Green Funerals
The characteristics of a green funeral are simplicity, consideration for the environment such as the use for sustainable or natural products or services and a deliberate rejection of conventional memorialisation.
Key Features:
- A coffin that is ideally made from sustainable local natural products.
- No chemical body preparation such as embalming.
- Not cremation which is usually understood to be environmentally damaging.
- Burial at a site that serves as a site for conservation with no or very limited grave marking – perhaps only with a tree.
Something to consider:
Natural or Woodland burial grounds will not permit the traditional headstone markers with the aim that eventually the grave is reclaimed by nature. The absence of a demarcated grave is often found to be a difficult step to consider especially at the time of arranging the funeral.
Comparative cost:
Woodland burial site costs vary according to the facilities on offer at the site and the current burial costs for our three nearest sites are listed below.
Rotherfield Greys Burial Ground, Henley-on-Thames - From £1,575
Acorn Ridge, Newbury - From £1,450
Chiltern Woodland Burial Park, Beaconsfield - From £2,000
Nearly 80% of us are cremated. These burial grounds offer burial of cremated remains, providing a rural final resting place.
(Please note these prices are a guide only).
A useful website is www.naturaldeath.org.uk which outlines the services offered by each of the above.
We are proud to be listed as a recommended funeral director by the Natural Death Centre.
What can we offer?
We can provide the whole or parts of our normal services to suit your need. With regard to coffins we would recommend looking at our full coffin range; all wooden and veneer coffins are sourced from sustainable sources. Perhaps the most commonly used for woodland burials are our simple veneered coffins with wooden handles or our willow coffins. Cardboard coffins are less expensive but the manufacturing process is less environmentally considerate and is to some degree less practical for viewing the deceased.

Elephants march down Elm Street in Manchester
Circus comes to town
Published 11:31 AM EDT Oct 02, 2013
Elephants took a stroll down Elm Street in Manchester on Wednesday morning as the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus came to town.
The elephants walked for a couple blocks to the Verizon Wireless Arena, where the circus kicks off Thursday.
The show, titled "Dragons," will run through Oct. 6.
The four elephants were followed by a group of horses that are also part of what's known as the "Greatest Show on Earth."
Young and old alike lined the street to see the animals take their trip.

The original portrait of John Lennon that began it all is long lost under the layers of paint, marker, and found objects that now cover the John Lennon Wall in Prague. But inspirational lyrics from popular Beatles songs such as "the sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you," connect the present day wall to its original incarnation: a place to honor the message of love and peace shared by John Lennon in his work and music.
At a first glance, the wall is overwhelming to take in. Colors, images, pieces of found objects, and words in a multitude of languages cover every available surface. At any given time of day, at least one passerby can be seen adding her handiwork to that of the many artists and visitors to have already left their mark. That is perhaps part of the appeal of the Lennon Wall: in a city filled with ancient treasures and old-world charm, the Lennon Wall is consistently new and current. Its faà§ade is always changing and no visit to the wall is ever like the last. This what makes the wall a curious mix of transience and permanence, at once capturing the impermanence of street art and the tourist experience while also providing a simple subversive message as old as time:
No matter the social or political climate, there will also be a counter culture of idealists and dreamers defying the status quo.
It is from this spirit of idealism and defiance that the Lennon Wall originally came to be. John Lennon served as a symbol of resistance and hope to Czechs under socialist rule. In the 1980s, young Czechs ascribing to a movement called "Lennonism" used the wall as a space to publicly voice grievances and disillusionment with the communist regime. As much as the government tried to censor their words, the wall continued to function as a space of anti-authoritarianism. No matter how often the wall was bleached to rid it of the artwork, graffiti and proclamations would soon cover it once again. Today the wall is owned by the Knights of Malta, who have given up trying to cover the graffiti and have turned it over to the public to function as a living and changing work of art.
One of the most alluring aspects of the Lennon Wall is that it's not the kind of installation art that only allows the spectator to watch from a distance. There are no admission fees and no ropes keeping idling hands and curious fingers from palpitating the surface. Or from picking up a paintbrush and adding to the existing artwork, their presence woven into the history and story of the wall.
It is a space where visitors of all ages and from all walks of life can leave their mark, if only for a moment, before it inevitably sinks below the surface of fresh layers of images and words. It is a space where the narrative thread is buried underneath blistering and peeling paint with no clear beginning or ending and no monolithic vision or unified voice. A space as bright, colorful, and eclectic as the hands that have added their contributions to it, teasing passersby with the invitation to come out and play. After all, the saying's on the wall: "The sun is up, the sky is blue, " ¨it's beautiful and so are you."
The John Lennon Wall: Location and Directions
Get in touch with the author @SimplyBike.
Prague certainly doesn't hold a reputation for being the most bike-friendly city in Europe. But since its launch in 2001, City Bike Prague (the city's first bike tour company), has increasingly grown its business of showing tourists the city by bike. Now, with several tour packages, a variety of bike styles (including tandems), and a team of well-informed and enthusiastic tour guides at its disposal, City Bike has become a staple in Prague's tourism industry. Located just minutes on foot from the Old Town Square, the bike rental company is easy to find and perfectly positioned for a guided tour that starts with a bang. First up: Prague's most famed historical and cultural artifact, the Astronomical Clock.
Prague's Astronomical Clock dates back to 1410, making it the world's third oldest astronomical clock and the only one still running today. Crowds of visitors gather daily beneath it to watch the dials turn and the figures move at the strike of the hour. The first stop on the tour allows cyclists to pause for a look at the clock and a glimpse at the Old Town Square, with its magnificently painted house facades.
From there, the tour moves on to the Franz Kafka museum, Milunià""¡ and Gehry's "Dancing House," the Lennon Wall, the Charles Bridge, the Jewish Quarter, and various other art installations and national monuments. (Each tour differs according to visitors' demands and the events in the city). The tour moves at a manageable pace, making it accessible to recreational cyclists as well as children on youth bikes.
Prague is the fourteenth largest city in the European Union with over two million inhabitants making up its urban zone. The city suffered considerably less damage during World War II as compared to European capitals such as Berlin and Paris, meaning that untarnished and exquisite examples of Art Nouveau, Baroque, Renaissance, and Modernist architecture fill the streets and offer insight into the past. Originals, rather than reconstructed doubles, allow for a view of what Europe might have looked like were it not for the overwhelming damage done by the Second World War. Every quarter boasts unique and elaborately decorated buildings. The only trouble? Keeping your bike moving forward while resisting the temptation to only look up.
Although cars and pedestrians do not defer to cyclists as they might in more bike-friendly cities such as Amsterdam, being part of a group allows for added visibility and comfort. A knowledgeable tour guide also knows to lead the group through the more traffic-light parts of the city, avoiding large intersections and more heavily populated streets. Our tour guide, an Irish native, had been living in Prague for over a decade and knew the city as well as any local. Providing us with a narrative informed by both his status as permanent resident and his experience as an outsider, he showed us a Prague both rich in cultural history and fraught with the demands of a changing European landscape. And at the end of the tour, he left us with a cold beer in hand (courtesy of every City Bike tour package), and a host of information to be processed. The tour offered the perfect introduction to a city brimming with sights, giving us a general overview to help us answer the inevitable tourist question of, "now what?"
Having taken the tour on day one of our trip, we gained a better understanding of the city's layout and were able to commit to memory routes that most closely resembled the walks we would later do on foot. The advantages of biking is that it makes possible to meander through alleys and parks that are inaccessible to automotive traffic, mirroring how one would experience a city as a pedestrian. Added bonus: one moves at a faster pace and covers greater distances, seeing much more of a given place than one would on foot. And with the promise of beautiful sights and a cold beer at one's destination, it's easy to see why touring Prague by bike has become an increasingly popular way to discover city of a hundred spires.

The first time I laid eyes on the impressive rock formations called sfinxul and babele (Romanian for "the sphinx" and "the old women" ), I was on a visit home during a college vacation. As my father puts it, the hike from Bușteni to the top of the Bucegi mountains is more of a "promenade," it doesn't require extreme fitness or determination. One can hike the hills from the resort town of Bușteni through meandering paths among stunning views or simply take a cable car up to the top. This means that even the more hiking averse can, on a whim, explore these beautiful monoliths with relative ease. Our group opted for the cable car and we soon found ourselves at an altitude of just over 2,000 meters in the Southern Carpathians.
At the top, the sphinx and the old women beckon. Stunning in size and detail (particularly the sphinx), they offer visitors views beyond the expected snow-capped mountains and rolling green hills. Their story of origin varies according to source. Some believe them to have come about naturally; others interpret the similarities between The Great Sphinx in Giza, Egypt as sign that Romania's sphinx was constructed to mirror its Middle Eastern counterpart. The first (known) photograph to be taken of the Romanian sphinx dates to 1900 and its name was formalized only as recently as 1936.
A short walk from the sphinx, the "old women" await. They resemble more closely two mushrooms than any feminine form but my father assures me that it's their "hats" at the top of their heads that prompted locals to give them their moniker. Like proper Romanian grandmothers, they stand and greet visitors with unwavering poise. In the background, breathtaking drop-offs and impressive peaks provide the picture panorama of travel album dreams. At every turn, another spectacular view invites visitors to take in the beauty of the Carpathians. We hiked around, explored the top of the mountain and marveled at such beauty only a cable car ride from the city below.
At the end of the day, we took the cable car back down to Bușteni and drove the short distance to the city of Braà"¦à… ¸ov (a mere 40 km away). Ciorbă de burtă (tripe soup, Romania's National Soup) and papanaș (cheese dumplings) filled our stomachs and paved the way for the cold bottles of Ursus (Romanian beer) already on order. And while the sphinx continued its watch over the world below, our group delighted in the finest of Romanian cuisine to a backdrop of old world charm in the heart of Transylvania.

H osting your first holiday feast? It can be daunting: A menu of familiar dishes for which everyone will have expectations, plus the pressure of executing a complicated meal in a timely manner, can make even the most experienced cook wish someone else would take over.
But there's really no need for this trepidation. Armed with good planning and some delicious, dependable recipes, you can calmly serve a wonderful holiday meal to friends and family. I've put together this menu of solid classics, plus I've shared tips drawn from my years of cooking, teaching, and writing about Thanksgiving. Finally, I've added a shopping list and a timeline to help you pull everything off with ease. Who knows—even seasoned cooks might pick up a few pointers here.
Easy Thanksgiving Menu for Eight
- Neopolitan
- Mushroom and Leek Soup with Thyme Cream
- Classic Roast Turkey with Herbed Stuffing and Old-Fashioned Gravy
- Sweet Potato Purée with Streusel Topping
- Green Beans with Ginger and Cashews
- Cosmopolitan Cranberry Sauce
- Spiced Apple Cake with Eggnog Sauce
tips for a smooth thanksgiving:
- Build Your Skills Gradually
How do you think Grandma got so good at cooking Thanksgiving? Practice! If you're just starting out, there's absolutely no reason that every item on your menu has to be made by you, from scratch. Your first year, focus on just the turkey, stuffing, and gravy—have guests bring the other dishes (be sure to coordinate what everyone's bringing so you end up with enough of everything). Once you feel that you've mastered these three essentials, the next year branch out to some other dishes. Before you know it, you'll have experience with the entire menu.
- Supplement From the Store
In addition to having guests bring some dishes, don't be afraid to purchase things to round out the meal. The key to make it/buy it success is getting top-quality items: Ask your cheesemonger to recommend an assortment of interesting cheeses for a simple, delicious hors d'oeuvre. Find a good local bakery to supply crusty rolls for the main course and a fresh pumpkin pie to accompany the simple homemade apple cake. You may spend a bit more, but you'll save your sanity and, if you find good sources, the bought items can be as good as homemade. Eventually, as you build your skills, you'll be able to branch out to making pies and breads from scratch.
- Rein In an Unruly Menu
In my humble opinion, there is just too much food on the typical Thanksgiving table. If I have spent hours in the kitchen, I want my guests to be able to savor the fare, not groan at the sight of food heaped on their plates. With both stuffing and sweet potatoes on the table, I see no need to serve mashed potatoes as well. But if you can't bear to give them up, feel free to add your favorite recipe to this menu. Another tip to bear in mind: Be careful not to have too many casseroles and other baked dishes that need last-minute time in the oven. A sautéed green vegetable, such as the green beans in this menu, can be cooked entirely on the stovetop, and will be a welcome contrast to all the baked carbs.
- Rely on Lists, Not Your Memory
There's no such thing as too many lists when it comes to a holiday meal. For this menu, I've put together a grocery list and a timetable, but you'll also want to decide which beverages to serve and add them to the list, along with any sundries (candles, guest towels, camera batteries or film, etc.). If you can, buy all nonperishables in the weeks before the holiday to avoid a last-minute dash. Other organizational tricks that will make things easier: Label serving dishes with the items they'll hold, and tape up a complete menu in the kitchen so you don't forget to serve something. (I'm famous for forgetting the cranberry sauce in the refrigerator!)
- Exercise Crowd Control
Thanksgiving is about hospitality, and sometimes the guest list can get pretty big. But this doesn't need to cause panic. Just be sure that you have enough plates and utensils, and if you don't have room for a seated meal, do the menu as a buffet. I've offered recipes for eight servings, but, with the exception of the cake, everything on the menu can easily be scaled up simply by multiplying the ingredients and using larger serving dishes. For more than 12 guests, make a second cake, or add another dessert.
- Tighten Up Your Bar Selection
It takes time to make individual cocktails, and time is not something you'll have a lot of if you're hosting Thanksgiving. Consider serving a single "house" cocktail. The Neopolitan suggested here uses an infused syrup that can be made well ahead of time and is easy to mix up. For nondrinkers, replace the vodka with seltzer. Or simplify things by just combining vodka (or seltzer) with cranberry juice. At dinner, serve one white wine and one red—a full-bodied Pinot Noir or Chardonnay would pair perfectly well with everything on the menu.

Entertainment co. posts 32% increase
Liberty Entertainment, the corner of John Malone's empire that includes Starz and a 49% stake in DirecTV, posted a 32% increase in revenue and a 13% rise in adjusted operating income in the second quarter.
The company credited growth at Starz and the addition of three regional sports networks that reach 8.5 million homes. The nets went to Malone as part of an asset swap with News Corp. that gave the mogul a controlling stake in DirecTV.
In the quarter, Starz Entertainment revenue gained 8% to $275 million and the adjusted operating net increased 24% to $68 million. The upswing stemmed from higher effective rates for services and increases in the weighted average number of subscription units.
Starz and Encore, the two principal service offerings of Starz Entertainment, experienced average subscription unit increases of 6% and 11%, respectively, during the quarter.
The Starz flagship channel finished first in total day ratings among premium channels in 10 of the first 26 weeks of the year, Starz chairman and chief exec Robert Clasen noted.
During a conference call with analysts, Malone said Liberty would want to explore buying AOL's dial-up business. Time Warner topper Jeff Bewkes reaffirmed last week that the groundwork had been laid for a transaction involving either or both of AOL's parts, the access business and the ad-supported business.
Shares in Liberty Entertainment, launched in March as one of three tracking stocks related to Malone's Liberty Media, added 1.6% on the day to close at $26.27.

Did you choose the wrong model? How about the 2002 Mercury Cougar, Grand Marquis, Mountaineer, or Villager? If you're still not sure, take a look at our All 2002 Mercury Models page. Or, just go to our page dedicated to Mercury Touch Up Paint
The paint was a perfect match!
I bought spray can, primer, paint and clear. The paint was for a 2002 Mercury Sable.
The paint is not a good match. It's all very easy to use but not quite the results I had
hoped for.
Color match was perfect. Could not have asked for it to look any better.
Thank you so much.
I was surprised how well the paint matched the original color on the car. The aerosol cans arrived in excellent condition and sprayed with no drips or spatter which is common with such products. I will not hesitate to order again.

The Voluntary Airport Low Emission Program (VALE) is designed to reduce all sources of airport ground emissions. Created in 2004, VALE helps airport sponsors meet their state-related air quality responsibilities under the Clean Air Act. Through VALE, airport sponsors can use Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funds and Passenger Facility Charges (PFCs) to finance low emission vehicles, refueling and recharging stations, gate electrification, and other airport air quality improvements.
- Fact Sheet: Voluntary Airport Low Emission Program
- Press Release: FAA Awards $24.5 Million in Environmental Grants to Airports
- VALE Brochure (PDF) (Updated 2/29/2016)
- Summary of Airport Projects and Contacts (PDF) (Updated 10/13/2015)
Program Guidance and Application Information
- Eligible Airports (MS Excel) (Updated 9/14/2016)
- VALE Technical Report (V7.0) (PDF, 1.87 MB)
This report provides detailed information on project planning, the application process, eligibility requirements (e.g., vehicle/equipment, fuel, ownership), program vehicle low-emission standards, emissions calculation methodology, cost effectiveness criteria, project tracking, etc.
- Guidance on Airport Emission Reduction Credits for Early Measures Through Voluntary Airport Low Emission Programs (PDF) (9/2004)
Vision-100 requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in consultation with the FAA, to issue guidance to ensure that airport sponsors receive appropriate airport emission reduction credits (AERCs) for VALE projects. State air quality agencies must provide assurances to the FAA that airport sponsors will receive AERCs prior to AIP and PFC funding. This guidance outlines how airport sponsors qualify for AERCs and can use AERCs in the future to meet general conformity and new source review requirements under the Clean Air Act.
Annual Deadline for Project Proposals

What's your princess style? Pampered or passionate, petulant or playful, philosophical or philanthropic, physically fit? No matter what your princess style on any given day, from Italian Principessa to Celtic Warrior Goddess, these stunning cabled gloves will serve you well.
Made with hardwearing, but soft to the touch, sock wool, these gloves are knit in the round from the forearm to the knuckles. They really are much easier to make than you may think!
The pattern is fully charted and also fully written out, use whichever method you prefer, or cross reference between them. So for work, play, or just being gorgeous…let your inner princess out!
Exactly one 50 gram ball of Schoeller & Stahl's Fortissima Socka in shade no. 1055, a gorgeous shade of steely blue-grey was used for this pair.
You may substitute with another similarly weighted yarn (210 metres or 229 yards per 50 gram ball) but remember to count metres before grams since the weight to length ratio can vary widely.
I used a set of 2.25 mm wooden ( Knit Pro) double pointed needles to achieve a gauge of 32 sts and 44 rows per 10 cm (4 in.) square. You may need another size needle as each knitter's tension is unique; always do a gauge swatch and adjust your needles accordingly!
The pattern fits most average hands from small to large. The cables and ribbing are forgiving that way. The finished length of the gloves is 25 cm, or 10 inches.
This pattern is now available for sale here or by navigating to the Patterns for Sale page where you may view all Heathcote Road original hand knitting patterns.
I do hope you enjoy this pattern, as much as I enjoyed designing it for my sister princess, with much love and affection.
Knit, and gift, with joy!

I don't understand. What do you mean you are at the limit? At the limit of what? And doesn't it depend on what battery you are using?
I meant limit as in size dimensions of the battery..
Is there a preffered esc for these types aircraft that has a bec capable of handling 4s?
I'm using Airboss ESC's in some of my 4s 3D planes with great success, but haven't used one on a high rpm brushless inrunner before. They are also a little on the large side. I've successfully used a CC60 on 4s, but it was located in the thrust tube on a ducted fan model. I don't want to risk doing that on this one with the minimal air flow over the equipment.
Sorry about the questions, this type of airframe is new to me.
I've used the Turnigy plush 60 with no problems, i ran it on 3s at 59 amps (I know, how convienent), and just two servos and it came down cool to the touch (it was a cold day). I wouldn't think you could go wrong with that ESC. Also, CC is coming out with its "ICE" line of ESCs, which will have switching ESCs, those could be great, though whos to say yet...
Theres also Pentium which i've heard good things about, and various others that i haven't heard much about. I think what most people do is use a CC BEC or a Rx pack, and just disable the castle BEC on all the real high power stuff. Are you against using an Rx pack?
Thanks for the info....I hadn't heard about the ICE controllers yet. I don't want to use a seperate Rx pack, and althought I've had great luck with external BEC's I would prefer an esc with a built in 4s BEC for a cleaner install. It looks like space will be an issue, so the cleaner I can make it the better.
I used to believe in using only CC Phoenix ESC's with a BEC if using more than 3S. That said I now hava bunch of 60A Turnigy Plush ESC's. They perform great and have a switching BEC so you can use them with higher cell counts. The Plush 40 had a linear BEC but I believe the newest ones now have a switching. The Plush, like the Phoenix, ESC's can be pushed quite a bit more than their rated current. I've pushed CC60's over 100 and Plush 60's over 80.
Is there a perfect ESC for this plane, no. But the Phoenix 45 for a 3S light set up or the Phoenix 60 and a CC BEC in 4S+ is about as good as you can get.
If you have the extra room and money is a concern get the Turnigy Plush ESC's.
I have never considered a Turnigy because of the price point. I just assumed that quality may be a factor and I don't want to put my planes/friends at risk to save a few bucks. It's great to hear that you've had good luck with them. I'm really amazed at some of the stuff that is coming out now at great prices.
I also just got a reply from Rob at ADCHobbyStore.com. The Airboss 60 is 1.5 inches wide and has a switching bec. I haven't heard of anyone using one with an inrunner, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. It also has a heat sink on it which may come in handy in this application.
the turnigy is pretty popular in all facets of the hobby, i would say you can't go wrong with them. Infact i've suspected some brands sold on our shores of being rebadged Turnigy ESCs, but im not sure about this...
I really would like to give the turnigy plush 80 a go. But the specs on HC are pretty disappointing. It seems to be very wide, whereas the 60 compares well to the CC60. Im sure i'll be pushing the turnigy pretty hard in the Escape at 60 amps on the button and 3 HS-65s that im sure my A.D.D. fingers will have working over time
On another note of cheap ESCs. I've had great experience with the opto line of suppo/supersimple ESCs. The smaller ones (10-40 amps) don't seem to live up to their ratings. But i've had a 50a, 2x60a, 2x100a, and all worked great. They come with big bulky heat sinks, but you can cut them open and take those off and it makes them about 1/2 as thin. If you are willing to run a BEC or Rx pack, they might be a good option. If i ever decide to push my 1112-2D with a 4.75x4.75, i'll probably take my trusty old SS100a ESC and unwrap it and give that a try...
The measurements I get are: 35mm deep x 160mm long(depends) x 42 wide.
I have an example of what might fit...
Yep that's a 4S pack...
Gosh, its cavernous (spelling?)!!! Should be able to house some big time power. Looks like im going to have to find an ESC upgrade. Bout time to look for a P80...
I didn't recieve a tracking number from susa like i did with my sunracer. Did anyone else experience this?
I just got my shipping info. Should be here in a couple days they say. Im sure the girlfriend will be disappointed when i introduce her to the new lady in my life

I got mine yesterday. Excellent quality and attention to detail. In addition, I also got two Neu1110-1Y for the plane from Soaring USA with 10% DISCOUNT. Fuse has enough room to house either one TP4SXV-2200 or 2 of TP2SXV-2200 with CC80 controller plus Medosa 2amp 6V BEC. Neu1110-1Y is identical to 1107/2Y size wise but with capablity to run over 200+. I found out this plane probably is one of the rare wider fuse to house my setup with extra room for breathing. It has the beauty of Sunracer but appears stronger.
I am so happy about the overall quality of the Escape, this morning, I called Soaring USA and purchased the remaining 2 from Bob in addition to the 2 that I received yesterday.

No idea yet. I prob start with 4X4 to check the current draw first. But 1st, I would like to place the tail servo near the wing tr-edge inside the fuse with a thin SS rod to avoid open the servo hole and I would also like to make the T top removable for transportation reason. Another thing is to cut smaller round vent holes to ensure the strength of the fuse is not compromised.
Overall, thanks to Jiri for making such a beauty for a very reasonable price and a good distribution done by Soring USA.

Ford School of Public Policy, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (Dr Davis); and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and the Department of Pediatrics, University of Cincinnati, Ohio (Dr Shah).
Last year, we celebrated the centennial of the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine. Founded as the American Journal of Diseases of Children, with Abraham Jacobi as its father, the journal has played a central role in the evolution of pediatrics as a specialty and in the tremendous progress in combating morbidity and mortality in the pediatric age group. Our current name of Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine was adopted in 1994 to emphasize its membership in the 10 journals that make up JAMA and the Archives Journals. The introduction of The JAMA Network in April of this year renewed and reinforced the close links among these journals in a unified editorial and publishing system.
We are very pleased to announce that our journal will be renamed JAMA Pediatrics beginning with the January 2013 issue, the start of our 102nd year of publishing. In addition to a new name, we will also have a new look and feel to our print version. The online version, dramatically updated and energized in May, will undergo further evolution with this name change. The accompanying editorial by all the editors in The JAMA Network describes the innovations across the system.
We (the editors, our editorial board, and the leadership in The JAMA Network) have thought carefully about our new name. We have chosen the name JAMA Pediatrics to be as inclusive as possible and to signify our interest in readers and in the leading science across the broad field that pediatrics represents today. Pediatricians are involved in prenatal diagnosis and counseling, and care for the tiniest premature infants at the borders of viability. Caring for adolescents is now an established part of pediatric practice, and it is not unusual for pediatricians to care for patients into their mid-20s. Increasingly, pediatric subspecialties provide services to adults with congenital disorders such as sickle cell diseases, congenital heart disease, or cystic fibrosis, and many pediatricians care for teenage mothers, as well as their children. When the journal became the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, the subspecialty of adolescent medicine was new; the subboard examinations for adolescent medicine were first administered in 1994. The Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine has been an important force in the growth and maturity of this subspecialty and a prime forum for showcasing research focused on adolescents. Today, adolescent medicine is an established discipline within the broader field of pediatrics, and the evolution of our name from American Journal of Diseases of Children to Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine to JAMA Pediatrics reflects this broadening of the bailiwick of the field, the deepening of the knowledge and expertise of its members, and our commitment to all who care for and about individuals in this age group. Although "adolescent medicine" will no longer be in our name, clinical care of adolescents and advancing the science of adolescent medicine remain a central part of who we are as a journal.
The way we access and use information is constantly and rapidly changing. The ability to find relevant information on a wide variety of web-enabled devices at any time of the day is both wondrous and challenging for providers and patients. Our job at JAMA Pediatrics and The JAMA Network is to provide you with the most rigorously examined science available in an easily accessible way and to be the source of information that you use regularly and trust thoroughly. This will be accomplished with an integrated system of journals, linked by semantic tagging online, and with our mobile phone and electronic tablet applications. The print redesign will emphasize the continuity across journals, while preserving the distinct nature of our work and our devotion to the pediatric population. We believe that this closer integration of The JAMA Network will allow us to better serve the needs of our readers and authors. As a member of this new network, we at JAMA Pediatrics look forward to publishing and providing the latest innovations and information about pediatric health and health care.

Christian Stewardship with a Global Perspective: A Faculty Statement
We confess God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the creator of the heavens and the earth. All things in heaven and on earth are brought into being in Christ, through Christ, and for Christ, and in him all things hold together (Col. 1:15-20; Jn. 1:1-5; Heb. 1:1-4). As part of that creation, we are recipients of God's bountiful grace, and our chief responsibility is to glorify God as all powerful and as the source of all good. One important way to glorify God is to treat all of creation with respect because it belongs to him.
We believe that scripture reveals proper relationships between human beings and God, human beings and other human beings, and human beings and the rest of creation. God and human beings have a relationship through God's role as creator (Gen. 1:26-28, 27), savior (Jn. 3:16), and sustainer (Ps. 8:5-8; Jn. 5:17). Our relationship with God defines our relationship to other living things, for God's covenant with human beings includes "every living creature that is with us, the birds, the domestic animals, and every animal of the earth" (Gen. 9:10). Human beings have relationships with one another (Mt. 7:12; Mk. 12:31) as creations of God. We have a relationship with nature through our necessary connection to it and by our God-given responsibility of stewardship (Gen. 1:26, 28). God also has a relationship with nature which is independent of our relationship to him (Gen. 1:4, 10, 12, 18, 21, 25; Lev. 25:1-5; Job 38, 39; Ps. 24:1, 104:16-23), and that relationship is reciprocal (Ps. 96:11-13; Rom. 8:21).
We understand that nature plays a fundamental role in all of these relationships. God continues to interact with human beings through the natural processes of the world. Because God has chosen the sphere of nature as the setting for human interaction, his covenant with us gives us the responsibility of caring for, nurturing, respecting, sustaining, and replenishing his creation. We often respond by viewing nature as a commodity to be done with as we please. However, God's relationship to non-human nature, which has intrinsic value, calls for a higher ethic.
God saw the wisdom of making us a part of nature; therefore, we should not be dismissive of creation because we are meant for "another world." Because we critique one extreme, that of nature as mere commodity, does not imply that we should swing to the opposite pole, that of nature as worthy of worship. As Lord Byron wrote in Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, "I love not man the less but Nature more."
According to scripture, God, humanity, and the world are fundamentally connected. As Creator, God called the world and human beings into existence and, more specifically, called human beings to care for the non-human elements of creation.
Stewardship is caring for all of creation on behalf of the Creator; it indicates that God calls human beings to engage in responsible acts of kindness and benevolence toward the rest of creation. Good stewardship recognizes that God's love for the creation implies that the world has intrinsic value. Stewardship, then, involves living sustainability and cooperatively with all of God's creation and includes taking care of plants, animals, natural resources, and other human beings. Since God created us as social beings, we should be guided by love for our neighbor. To this end, stewardship requires wisdom in making use of the creation, a wisdom which acts justly and ensures the availability of the blessings of creation for the oppressed of this present world and for our descendants.
Communal worship informs our identity. It is an important context in which we learn to understand our relationships with God, other human beings, and the rest of creation. Worship, in its most general sense, is encountering, seeking, praising, and adoring God; for Christians, it should be a continuous process. We encounter God in various ways. Communal worship involves us in a special relationship with God and the people of God. Yet God also calls us to incorporate the natural elements of bread, wine, and water in our worship. Our whole life should be worship of God in that we show concern, respect, and love for all parts of creation; in other words, we are to be good stewards. In our solitude, we face God, stripped of our pretenses and faced with the realization that we are finite but natural beings. In this encounter, we look at ourselves as we are and accept the challenge to be transformed into the image of his Son. We are compelled to recognize that nature is an essential part of our worship; and to make worship as rich as possible, we need to take stewardship seriously.
The biblical picture of God's creation in its perfect state is one of harmony among all creation. We have diminished that harmony; but we believe, because of God's love and Christ's sacrifice, that harmony will one day be restored. In fact, the whole creation is "groaning in travail" as it waits for its release from the "bondage to decay" (Rom. 8:21). However, Paul's statement does not obviate our responsibility to try to sustain and nurture the various relationships: God with humans, humans with humans, God with nature, and humans with nature. Indeed, the Christian community is called to be a visible sign in the present, anticipating the full manifestation of the coming kingdom. Therefore, properly maintaining these relationships is Christian stewardship with a global perspective.
This document is the product of the Global Stewardship Institutional Mentoring Program sponsored by the Coalition for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU) and the Evangelical Environmental Network (EEN).
The Abilene Christian University Global Stewardship Task Force was Fredrick Aquino, Jim Cooke, David Dillman, Paul Morris, Carolyn Thompson and Michael Sadler.

Top-10 Golf & Gridiron Trips for Autumn
Every August, as the summer heat starts to fade away and the evening air turns crisp, the anticipation of another football season begins to mount. But just because football is upon us, it doesn't mean your golf clubs should start collecting dust.
In fact, fall not only provides optimal golf weather but many courses and resorts begin offering non-peak green fees and stay-and-play deals that allow you to save your hard-earned cash for other essential endeavors, such as your fantasy football waiver wire.
Take a look at NFL and college football schedules and you'll uncover an abundance of opportunities to turn your football road trip into a golf and gridiron weekend for the ages, thanks to offerings of courses in the vicinity of these stadiums.
Here are 10 Golf and Gridiron trips to consider:
Early Morning Mist Envelops the 15th Hole at Sweetgrass
Sunday, September 9
San Francisco 49ers at Green Bay Packers
Sweetgrass Golf Club, Upper Peninsula, Mich.
A trip to historic Lambeau Field should be on every sport fans' "bucket list." So it's simply a bonus to be there on NFL Opening Day when the Packers look for revenge after getting upset by the Niners in one of the most exciting postseason games in league history. Extend your stay by driving north of Lombardi Avenue to Sweetgrass Golf Club in neighboring Michigan's UP, which annually hosts the LPGA Symetra Tour event. Green fees at one of Michigan's top public-access courses start at $75. If you're looking for more golf and savings, try the popular Perfect 4-Some package for $265, which includes rounds at Sweetgrass, nearby Greywalls and TimberStone, and a two-night stay at the Island Resort & Casino. For more information, visit www.SweetGrassGolfClub.com.
Thursday, September 20
Boise State vs. BYU
Sun Valley Resort, Sun Valley, Idaho
Boise State has become a perennial Bowl Championship Series contender and this is your chance to see Bronco Stadium's famed blue turf live and in person in a nationally televised ESPN game against rival BYU. The Thursday night game gives fans an extra day to play, leading into weekend games. Take a ride east to historic Sun Valley to see the fall unfold along the Wood River, and take advantage of the best rates of the year, starting at only $140 per person per night for a round and a room on the Aspen Glow package. For more information, see www.SunValley.com/golf.
The Par-3 Fifth Hole at FarmLinks
Saturday, September 22
LSU at Auburn
FarmLinks Golf Club at Pursell Farms, Sylacauga, Ala.
The last six national champions have come from the SEC, including these two power programs whose rivalry dates back to 1901. So, it's safe to assume this year's "Tiger Bowl" will have SEC title and, most likely, major BCS implications. Whether it's before or after you spend the afternoon at Jordan-Hare Stadium with 90,000 War Eagle-screaming fans, it's worth making the one-hour trek to tranquil Pursell Farms. In addition to being the world's only research and demonstration facility for superintendents from all over the world, FarmLinks Golf Club has been ranked the No. 1 public-access course in Alabama and, at rates starting at $100, you'll receive unlimited golf, use of the practice facility, a Southern-style lunch, and all-you-can-eat-and-drink snacks and non-alcoholic beverages. Your luxury cottage or cabin comes complete with a big-screen TV and full kitchen where you can watch the remaining weekend football action in style. For more information, visit www.FarmLinks.org.
Saturday, September 29
Florida State at University of South Florida
Black Diamond Ranch, Lecanto, Fla.
South Florida is no longer a pushover, as seen by its six bowl bids in the last seven years. The rise of the Bulls has given this in-state rivalry some teeth, and their home stadium in Tampa is just over an hour from one of Florida's superb golf communities. The "Black Diamond Experience" grants unprecedented access to one of the U.S.'s premier private clubs. Kick off the vacation at a trio of Fazio layouts - Quarry, Ranch and Highlands - and then head to Raymond James Stadium to watch South Florida try and dash any hopes of an FSU national championship by repeating its upset of the Seminoles from three years ago. For more information, visit www.blackdiamondranch.com.
Saturday, October 13 and Sunday, October 14
University of Washington vs. Southern Cal (Saturday, Oct. 13)

What started out as therapy for one young autistic girl in Texas has blossomed into a program that is helping many other kids like her.
Hannah Mills is not letting down syndrome get in the way of her passion for horses.
Her family introduced her to equine therapy at a very young age to help her mental and physical development.
That's when Horseshoes for Hope started. The program helps disabled children relax, bond, and grow physically by riding horses.
"I love to watch her. She just gets so excited with the horses, and just being around the people, and she's a very social person," Hannah's mother, Joleen, said.
Hannah's grandparents expanded the program eight years ago to help others with disabilities.
"We see an immediate change in children with autism especially. They form a bond with a horse and all the children do. It's very calming," Hannah's grandmother, Janice, said.

On 11/11/11, an Indian woman gave birth to 11 babies, that too on the same time. It is an incident of 21st Century Hospital & Test Tube Baby Centre at Surat. All the babies were boys, among which six were rumored to be twins. It may be a miracle or a blessing that all the babies were healthy and the mother was safe as well. Whatever it was a blessing or something else, it was a moment of surprise, shock and happiness for the mother as well as for the team of doctors and nurses.
According to medical science, multiple births can occur either in natural causes, like if the woman ovulates more than one egg per month, in such a case all of them can be fertilized, or if she produces just a single egg, but it splits shortly after fecundation resulting in multiple embryos. Nowadays multiple births are very frequent due to infertility treatments like In Vitro Fertilization, in which more than one fertile egg is implanted in the womb, in a hope that the body will accept at least one of them. Moreover, fertility drugs may cause multiple egg ovulations, therefore multiple babies.
But is it possible to have multiple births at the same time and the babies being healthy. Let us take a look at some cases of multiple births from the history. In 1997, the 1st case of surviving healthy septuplets (seven babies) was recorded in the US. 4 boys and 3 girls were born with weight ranging from 3 lbs and 4 ounces to just 15 ounces. Unfortunately, the smallest baby was the only one who had no permanent health issues, and 2 of the babies had cerebral palsy. In 1998, a set of octuplets (eight babies) were born in Houston, Texas. The 1st set of the babies was delivered fifteen weeks premature, whereas the remaining twins were left inside the womb and then delivered by a Caesarean section after 2 more weeks. Ironically, the smallest of them died after a week only. The remaining 7 are healthy and alive.
In 1999, 9 babies were born to a Malaysian woman, but sadly within 6 hours of living all babies died. In 1971, a woman conceived more than 15 babies, and delivered them all with multiple Caesarean sections, not at the same time yet. But, all the babies died after birth. Nearly, all of the reports of multiple births of babies beyond octuplets had sad endings. In fact, multiple babies mostly involve medical issues sooner or later. Even if the babies are delivered alive, they may end up suffering from different disorders due to their crowded life in the mother's womb.
So, the actual story of the 11 babies goes like this. On 11/11/11 which is considered an auspicious day, 11 women who had conceived through Invitro fertilization (IVF) Treatment, at the 21st Century Hospital & Test Tube Baby Centre, were delivered by an elective Caesarean section by Dr. Pooja Nadkarni, Dr. Purnima Nadkarni, Dr. Kishore Nadkarni and Dr. Aditi Nadkarni. All of them were test tube babies. All the babies were born on the same day and hence all of them were lined up for the picture.

Hungary's principal operatic stage surged into summer with this revival of Puccini's heart string-pulling third opera. Manon Lescaut is a weaker retelling of the Abbé Prévost's novel than Massenet's Manon, but its emotive power, particularly in the final scene, which is improbably set in the "desert outside New Orleans," has long thrilled audiences around the world. Peter Vallo's production updates the action from the original Old Regime setting to the mid-nineteenth century, but the bourgeois settings enhance rather than diminish the effect.
A last minute cancellation had the happy result of placing the talented soprano Eszter Sumegi in the title role. Her skilled middle register suited the part ideally, accompanied as it was by fine technique and superb support for her ascents. Only toward the end of the evening, in "Sola, perduta, abbandonnata," did Sumegi suffered from a slight throatiness that impaired her high register singing. Her leading man, Gaston Rivero, sang with authority, especially in the first act aria "Donna non vidi mai." He was less convincing dramatically than vocally and did not exactly embody the persuasive machismo of a man with whom a woman would run off. Peter Kiss serviceably sang the role of Lescaut. Tamas Szule's Geronte was covetous rather than cynical, though his expressive singing made the lust come through. Zsolt Hamar led a respectable performance from the podium.

Today's strip (above) marks the last appearance of "Fisher" in The Globe and Mail. I heard from the paper on August 10 that, due to a reshuffling of the arts and life sections, the comics page would be dropped. Ultimately the paper (I am told) decided to keep a smaller comics section... but not "Fisher" (or Graham Harrop's "Back Bench", the other comic that was exclusive to the Globe). Normally I wait a week to post strips after they appear in the paper; today I'm making an exception.
These are not good times for newspapers; how could they be good times for newspaper comic strips? Whatever struggles The Globe and Mail (along with all other mass media) are going through, I do thank them for their support of "Fisher" these twenty years — and, in particular, Warren Clements, the former Globe editor who brought "Fisher" on board and was my "editor" for most of its run. (I put "editor" in quotes because he let me get away with almost anything, except for the odd spelling mistake. For more about the early days of the strip, see the second post on this blog.)
Warren is also the publisher of a projected Fisher book to be published, we hope, this fall. Please keep eyes peeled for that, and check this site for developments.
There are no plans at this time to continue Fisher elsewhere, but if that changes you can read about it here. In the meantime I hope to extend the web archive of the strips back to the beginning of the run in 1992.
I want thank family and friends for their support, especially my wife, Vanessa Grant, who has been a supporter and collaborator since the beginning. Above all I want to thank the readers of the strip. I have heard, in person or by email, enough to know that the strip has resonated with many. This has been the most satisfying part of having Tom Fisher lead a public life. Thank you.comments powered by Disqus

JAMES Selfe is the Democratic Alliance (DA) MP who has done most of the running since Helen Zille hand-delivered an urgent application for the review and setting aside of the prosecutorial decision to withdraw 783 charges of corruption, fraud, money laundering and racketeering against then private citizen Jacob Zuma in April 2009 to the North Gauteng High Court in the same month.
Much water has flowed beneath the political bridge since then. In May 2009, Zuma became president of South Africa, having been elected leader of the African National Congress (ANC) in Polokwane in December 2007. He plans to run for re-election in Mangaung next month.
The review litigation has been pursued doggedly, but without much urgency. The initial high court decision in the matter, dismissing the case, was successfully appealed by the DA in the Supreme Court of Appeal in March, and the prosecutors were then ordered to make the record on which the decision to withdraw charges was based available to the DA in its capacity as applicant in the review, preparatory to the airing of the review in the North Gauteng High Court.
Although respect for the order of the Supreme Court of Appeal would normally dictate that the record be handed over in April, no such handing over has taken place, largely because Zuma objects, on the grounds of supposed confidentiality, to the disclosure of certain secretly made tape recordings of conversations between prosecutors past and present, on which the decision of then acting national director of public prosecutions Mokotedi Mpshe was based.
Selfe is quoted in the weekend press as saying that the DA is prepared to "go to the gates of hell" (via the Constitutional Court, if necessary) to get hold of the "spy tapes".
If the tapes were ever confidential, which is open to considerable doubt, their "confidentiality" has been forever compromised by the publication in the Sunday Times of a summary of 300 pages of leaked material, as well as extracts from the tape recordings upon which reliance was placed as a pretext for withdrawing charges against Zuma.
These have been dribbled into the public domain in recent weeks, presumably to boost newspaper circulation and the blood pressure of the nation in the run-up to next month's ANC elective conference in Mangaung.
As has long been suspected, the tapes reveal an utterly irrelevant conversation between then Scorpions boss Leonard McCarthy and his former boss, Bulelani Ngcuka, regarding the timing of service of the summons on Zuma.
This was a conversation about which Mpshe knew nothing at the time that he decided (all on his own) to press the 783 charges by serving a summons on Zuma at the end of December 2007 and in Johannesburg rather than Nkandla. It beggars belief that Mpshe could ever have entertained the notion that the gossip on the tapes has or had any relevance in the matter.
The recently leaked documents show that the advice of legal heavyweights Wim Trengove and Andrew Breitenbach was sought in relation to the relevance of the content of the tapes.
They were unanimous in their agreement that this should not give Zuma a free pass.
To his credit, Mpshe did, when announcing the withdrawal of the prosecution, insist that the prosecution service remained convinced of its ability to secure a conviction on the merits of the charges so withdrawn.
The constitutionally guaranteed independence of the prosecution service was compromised by Mpshe's decision to bow to the not inconsiderable political pressure being brought to bear on him.
His prospective accused was, at that time, the most popular politician in the ANC and its candidate for the presidency in the elections that were held in May 2009.
Threats of popular uprisings, damage to the economy and the undermining of the 2010 Soccer World Cup were used to persuade the hapless Mpshe to withdraw the charges. The fact that he was but an acting chief prosecutor also rendered him more vulnerable to political manipulation; it is the president who makes the appointment to this key post.
Mpshe never did rise to that rank; the honour was given to an even more malleable cadre, Menzi Simelane, in circumstances that did not stand up to constitutional scrutiny.
In a strange twist of fate, the litigation around Simelane's appointment, which started after the review of the decision not to prosecute Zuma, has made its way through the courts faster than the review has done.
The upshot of this is that the country once again has an acting chief prosecutor at a critical juncture in relation to the future of the prosecution of Zuma on those 783 charges.
As it is likely, on a fair conspectus of the documents summarised in the weekend press reports and the material already filed on record, that the review will succeed, it will fall to the current leadership of the National Prosecuting Authority to deal with the considerable fallout of such a finding.
The idea of the reinstatement of the charges, and of a president who spends more time in the dock than in the Union Buildings, is a dismal prospect for all concerned.
Yet, if the notion of equality before the law enshrined in the bill of rights means anything, it is imperative for the reputation of the National Prosecuting Authority and for the proper administration of justice that the trial should proceed and that Zuma should have his day in court.
Due to the number of charges, the complexity of the case and the stalling tactics already very much in evidence, it is unlikely that the "day in court" will mean a trial any shorter than the marathon to which Zuma's former financial adviser, Schabir Shaik, was subjected on his way to being convicted and sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment.
If Zuma goes the full distance in the prosecution and is convicted, it is unlikely that his sentence will be any less than Shaik's. If he is acquitted after a long trial, his credibility on the world stage will be akin to that of former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi. This would not be a leadership phenomenon a developing country on the hunt for foreign direct investment can afford.
It is possible that the day in court will be no more than a day if a suitable plea bargain is struck. The trouble with a plea bargain is that it is likely to be one that puts an end to Zuma's political career. It does not seem that the ANC is ready to relinquish its leader, despite the strong views among the professional prosecutors that they will be able to secure convictions in the case against Zuma. Why any political party would want a leader under so considerable a cloud is best explained by the party in question.
A plea bargain would also not fit in with the "Stalingrad strategy" which Zuma has hitherto adopted with so much success at slowing down the criminal case and the review proceedings in which he is involved, not as head of state, but as a potential accused in a serious corruption prosecution. The building of the bunker at Nkandla, a home improvement that no other president has seen fit to acquire, may be the last gambit in the "Stalingrad strategy" as the chickens inevitably come home to roost for Zuma, at his personal "gates of hell", as Selfe puts it.

FRIENDS TELL me that they enjoy the stimulation and renewal that come with professional reading. Many also speak of odd chunks of writing that derail or interrupt that reading, perhaps causing the reader abruptly to abandon a passage that was otherwise engaging.
Familiar words cause minor shocks when they occur in unexpected forms: anaemia, coeliac, aetiology, oesophagus, and Esquimaux. I grew up in rural Arizona; we spoke of "dobie" walls, "dobie" houses, and "dobie" blocks. It came as a jolt when I first saw "dobie" spelled adobe.
Minor variations in spelling probably do not bother most readers, but there are terms in the professional literature that may be off-putting. The descriptions of numerical analyses in technical reports often contain verbal roadblocks that for some people some of the time, induce MEGO (my eyes glaze over). In almost any medical journal, examples abound.
