The Robin Cinema in Burton and The Regal in Lichfield were our first local cinemas. The Regal, which opened on the 18th July 1932 was built in a lovely Art Deco/ Egyptian style and had just one screen with 1300 seats. Situated in the heart of Lichfield City Centre it sadly closed on July 10th 1974 and personally I only remember it as a Kwik Save. The Robin Cinema in Burton opened originally on March 11th 1935 as The Ritz. By 1996 it had been sub divided into 3 screens and had seating for 1600 people but was closed down when the Cineworld opened opposite.
The closure of cinemas such as these has been blamed mainly on poor car parking facilities, old technology and uncomfortable seats. The decline in audience figures went from their peak in 1946 of 1.6 billion in the UK, per annum, to the lowest in 1984 of just 55 million per annum.
Luckily the multiplex revolution arrived in the UK from America in the 1980's when cinema was dying. The first multiplex in this area was the Showcase in Derby. The foyer was big and bright, you didn't have to queue in the rain, you could park right outside and the seats were bigger, the popcorn was bigger, the ice creams were bigger, the screens were bigger, the choice of times and films were bigger. It was fantastic really.
25 years on, the love affair with the multiplex cinema is still pretty intense with the teenage market but not so popular with older audiences. The multiplex, is, without doubt a very standardised experience, focussing mainly on the biggest money making blockbuster films and selling the largest possible vat of popcorn and coke, which in turn does make you feel a bit processed. However, audience figures have stabilized at around 170 million per annum so it's fair to say that the multiplex saved cinema in this country.
The Red Carpet Cinema won't be a Regal or a Robin or a Showcase but there are lessons to be learnt from all three of these cinemas. In order to capture the old fashioned glamour of cinema we particularly admire Zefferillis in Ambleside and The Ritz at Belper. They have installed the larger, more comfortable seats and the up to date technology that multiplexes have, but also manage to bring the sense of occasion back into cinema going. We are shamelessly jumping on the bank wagon to bring a two screen cinema seating 100 people and 70 people in Barton under Needwood.
The way cinema used to be...

I'm sure many of you know by now that the New York Comic Con is going on this weekend. There wasn't much in the way of G.I. Joe news, at least from Hasbro, other than the announcement and unveiling of Kre-O G.I. Joe. Now that was until today.
Today, IDW Publishing held a panel discussion where they talked about all their current titles, including G.I. Joe. And the big news is, some major changes coming to all the titles. Looks like the current Target: Snake Eyes storyline that just started will lead to the end of the current G.I. Joe book. Then in February 2013 we will be getting a relaunch with new creative teams. The main G.I. Joe title will be relaunched with writer Fred van Lente and artist Steve Kurth. And from what I'm understanding, Snake Eyes & Storm Shadow will be replaced with G.I. Joe: Special Missions by writer Chuck Dixon and art by Paul Gulacy. Then it looks like COBRA will be relaunched as The Cobra Files with the current COBRA creative team of Mike Costa and Antonio Fuso continuing on the reigns. Now these are not reboots, but relaunches for the books. These books will be released in February, March and April respectively. (Source: Comics Beat)
Starting in February, GI Joe will be relaunched, with:
– GI Joe by Fred van Lenten and Steve Kirghiz
– Secret Missions by Chuck Dixon and Paul Gulacy (March)
– The Cobra Files by Mike Costa and Antonio Fuso (April)
Fred van Lente said his book would focus on a core team, including Duke, Cover Girl, Roadblock, Shipwreck, and Tunnel Rat, and that the Joe-Cobra war would be "very public" and "pretty hardcore." Van Lente and Comic Book History of Comics collaborator Ryan Dunlavey will be doing GI Joe History variant covers.
IDW Senior Editor John Barber also shared the details via Twitter:
The new @fredvanlente and Steve Kurth GI JOE is the biggest change to happen to the team–and the book–since IDW got the series.
— John Barber (@TheJohnBarber) October 13, 2012
It is going to be awesome–and the Chuck Dixon/Paul Gulacy SPECIAL MISSIONS is just as hot. Everybody's firing on all cylinders!
— John Barber (@TheJohnBarber) October 13, 2012
Wait'll you hear what we've got post-Oktober for Cobra, too… More big news will be coming!
— John Barber (@TheJohnBarber) October 13, 2012
The TARGET: SNAKE EYES story running in GI JOE and SNAKE EYES/STORM SHADOW is the beginning of the end of the current GI JOE.

Yes vote may bring 'rebalance' to England, says Yousaf
NEWS: SNP MSP Humza Yousaf has appeared on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, discussing the impact of independence on Scotland and the rest of the UK.
Scottish independence could force a "rebalance" of politics south of the border, shifting political influence away from London towards the Midlands and the North, according to Humza Yousaf.
The international development secretary suggested that, with the responsibility for Scotland removed, Westminster politicians might pay more attention to areas of England which have been historically neglected.

Australia's Nobel Laureates and the Nobel Prize
The Nobel Prize is an international award for significant achievements and research that benefit humankind and Australia has produced a number of Nobel Laureates over the years.

Lawrence Bragg, of Adelaide, was only 25 years old when he received the Nobel Prize for Physics with this father William Bragg in 1915, after Lawrence formulated what is known today as Bragg's Law and his seminal work in developing X-rays.
The work of Australia's Nobel Laureates reflects their international reputations. Laureates have often chaired significant scientific research institutes here and overseas. Some born in Australia have worked overseas and others returned to their familial country, like Aleksandr Prokhorov, who was born in Atherton, Queensland but returned to Russia in 1916 to eventually found the General Physics Institute in Moscow.
Howard Florey studied at the University of Adelaide before he teamed up with British and Amercan scientists, to do his ground-breaking research to develop the first penicillin-based antibiotic medicines in the 1930s at Oxford, recognised with the 1945 Nobel Prize. Florey returned to Australia as Chancellor of the Australian National University in 1965 and his work is commemorated in the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health, a world-leading medical research centre located in Melbourne, Australia.
Florey's work on penicillin in the 1930s was continued by Robert Robinson, Professor of Chemistry at Oxford University from 1930. Robinson did this work in collaboration with scholarship winner John Cornforth of Sydney from 1938 to 1951, with Robinson awarded the Nobel Prize in 1947 and Cornforth in 1975. All three, Florey, Robinson and Cornforth, worked to advance the stable production of penicillin, with Australia being the first country to distribute it to civilians.

Many Nobel Laureates have worked in Australia's key research institutions, helping establishing their reputations and attracting funding to Australia. An example is Frank Macfarlane Burnet who, as the Director at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research from 1944 to 1965, extended its scope and size, bringing the Institute to international prominence for virological research, and then for immunology.
Public institutions have played a key role in hosting Australia's Laureates and they in turn have nurtured others. Bernard Katz worked at the Sydney Hospital until 1946 with John Carew Eccles, who was to receive the Nobel Prize in 1963, with Katz recognised in 1970 – both of whom donated their time to give research lectures at the University of Sydney, strongly influencing the intellectual environment of the university.
In 1973, Patrick White used the money from the Nobel Prize to establish a trust to fund the Patrick White Award, given annually to established creative writers who have received little public recognition, and the list today is an exemplar of Australia's poets, novelists and playwrights.
Nobel Laureate Brian Schmidt with top Year 8 students at the University of Western Australia, 2012, Sea, Earth and Beyond challenge
Peter Doherty did his research at the John Curtin School of Medical Research in Canberra and later, as a Laureate from 1996, became an outspoken advocate for science, libraries, public education, health and safety, establishing the Peter Doherty Institute at the University of Melbourne.
Robin Warren and Barry Marshall's research work was done at the Royal Perth Hospital. Elizabeth Blackburn has contributed widely to scientific debate about the role of science in the quest for truth as well seeking to study chromosomes in the altered health of abused women.
Brian Schmidt is an astronomer at the Australian National University who has recently attracted funding to develop and launch an online science curriculum website, Science by Doing, to get more Australian school students interested in research and discovery.
It might be said that William Bragg set a benchmark for these qualities of fearless determination to explore ideas in the pursuit of truth and their rigour in establishing decent laboratories as part of a collaborative research environment. At the same time, there was a contribution to public knowledge, cultural institutions and community benefit.
When William Bragg arrived in Adelaide in 1886 as Professor of Mathematics and to give some instruction in physics, Bragg apprenticed himself to a firm of instrument-makers to make apparatus for his deficient teaching laboratory, before going on to become one of the eminent physicists of his day. Bragg was also active in supporting the affairs of the Public Library, Museum and Art Gallery of South Australia, the School of Mines and Industries and the Teachers' Guild. It is a legacy that has benefitted not just the scientific community but has had great and lasting benefits to the Australian people.

Every year since 1901 the Nobel Prize has been awarded for achievements in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and for peace. The Nobel Prize is an international award administered by the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm, Sweden. Recently, the Bank of Sweden has been awarding a non-official, but associated, Nobel Memorial Prize for Economics.
Alfred Nobel (1833–1896), the inventor of dynamite, conceived the idea of the Nobel Prize following his concern about the increasing military uses of his invention. Nobel bequeathed a large amount of his assets 'which shall be annually distributed in the form of prizes to those who, during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind.'
Most of the prizes are awarded annually in Stockholm, Sweden, on 10 December, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel's death. The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded in Oslo, Norway. The Nobel Prize Laureates receive gold medals, which bear the portrait of Alfred Nobel. Laureates also receive the Nobel Prize Diplomas, which are created by foremost Swedish and Norwegian artists and calligraphers on special handmade paper. A cash amount is also awarded, which is over US$1 million for each prize.
Australia's Nobel Laureates
Brian P Schmidt (2011)

The Nobel Prize in Physics for 2011 was awarded jointly, one half to Brian Schmidt and Adam G Riess, and the other half to Saul Perlmutter, 'for the discovery of the accelerating expansion of the universe through observations of distant supernovae'.
Two separate teams set out to study exploding stars or supernovae, and both were astonished to discover that the universe's expansion was accelerating, rather than slowing down as expected. This discovery has led to speculation about the existence of 'dark energy' pushing the universe apart.
Brian Schmidt, born in the United States but now an Australian citizen, is an astronomer at the Australian National University in the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics, formerly known as Mount Stromlo and Siding Spring Observatories. He continues to work on supernovae and also leads Mt Stromlo's effort to build the SkyMapper telescope, a new facility that will provide a comprehensive digital map of the southern sky.

Elizabeth Blackburn (b. Hobart, 1948) shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2009 with American scientists Carol W Greider and Jack W Szostak when she was working at the University of California in San Francisco, USA.
The prize was awarded for the discovery of how chromosomes are protected by telomeres and the enzyme telomerase. The research showed that telomere sequences at the end of chromosomes protect the chromosomes from damage and maintain the integrity of the genome. The discovery has transformed our understanding of how cells age and die, and has opened up research in a new field of molecular biology.
Blackburn, along with her colleagues, investigated the effect of stress on telomerase and also on telomeres. Recently they discovered that psychological stress may accelerate aging right inside the cells. Overall poor health was observed in women who were abused resulting due to the shortening of telomere length.

Dr J Robin Warren (b. 1937) and Professor Barry James Marshall (b. 1951) received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2005 for their discovery in 1982 of the Helicobacter pylori bacterium which causes stomach peptic ulcers and gastritis.
Robin Warren, then a senior pathologist at Royal Perth Hospital, first observed the presence of small curved bacteria in a biopsy from the lower part of the stomach in 1979. He teamed up with Barry Marshall, a registrar in the gastroenterology department, in 1981.
Warren (now a retired emeritus consultant) and Marshall (now Professor of Clinical Microbiology at University of Western Australia) cultured the bacteria, identified as a new species, and demonstrated the association of H. pylori and peptic ulcers, particularly duodenal ulcers. After repeated snubs, and with his research findings being ignored, Marshall took the drastic step of infecting himself in order to prove his theory. He proved his findings right by recovering with a few days treatment of antibiotics.
Eradication of the bacteria resulted in healing of the gastritis, and the ulcers rarely recurred. The implications of discovering the bacterium are significant. Peptic ulcer disease, once thought to be incurable, has been a major medical problem in most countries of the developed world. Now, treatment using antibiotics permanently eradicates ulcers.

Veterinary surgeon, Professor Peter Doherty (b. 1940) shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1996 with Swiss Professor Rolf M Zinkernagel (b. 1944) for the discovery of how the immune system recognises virus-infected cells.
The two Nobel Laureates carried out the research at the John Curtin School of Medical Research in Canberra at the Australian National University. The research has laid a foundation in understanding how general mechanisms used by the cellular immune system recognise both foreign microorganisms and self molecules. During their studies of the response of mice to viruses, they found that white blood cells (lymphocytes) must recognise both the virus and certain self molecules – the so-called major histocompatibility antigens – to kill the virus-infected cells.
Zinkernagel's and Doherty´s findings had an immediate impact on immunological research. The wide relevance of their observations concerning the specificity of the T-lymphocytes became apparent in many contexts, both in regard to the ability of the immune system to recognize microorganisms other than viruses, and in regard to the ability of the immune system to react against certain kinds of self tissue.
The Peter Doherty Institute at the University of Melbourne is dedicated to 'the future of research into infectious diseases, immunology and improving public health and safety'.

John Warcup Cornforth (1975)
Professor John Warcup Cornforth (1917-2013) was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1975 whilst at the University of Sussex for his work on the stereochemistry of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. He shared the prize with Swiss Professor Vladimir Prelog, for his research into the stereochemistry. While they did not work together, the commonalities of their research led to international recognition.
Cornforth investigated the role of enzymes, the biological catalysts that control important chemical reactions, by detailing how they construct the essential precursor for cholesterol, squalene, in the cell. His focus was on how the shape of a molecule, or its stereochemistry, is created, and how this affects its behaviour. Conforth could track which choice the enzyme makes at each stage to create the correct product.

Cornforth grew up in Armidale, NSW, and suffered gradual deafness from the age of ten until 20, which had led him to be interested in laboratory work in organic chemistry. This had been introduced to him by his teacher at Sydney Boys High School, Leonard Basser.
In 1938 he won a scholarship, along with Rita Harradence, to study with Robert Robinson at Oxford, who was later to win the Nobel Prize in 1947. Together they built upon Howard Florey's work on the drug penicillin, working to purify and stabilise it.
Cornforth acknowledged his wife, organic chemist Rita Harradence;
her experimental skill made major contributions to the work; she has eased for me beyond measure the difficulties of communication that accompany deafness….

Patrick White (1973)
1973 Nobel Laureate Patrick White, c 1973, no source
Patrick White (1912–1990) received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1973 for 'an epic and psychological narrative art which has introduced a new continent into literature'. White was an established author with seven novels.
The novels each portray rich, emotional characterisation of Australians, with dramatic accounts of life, love and death. Notable books include his first, The Aunt's Story(1948), Voss(1957), The Vivisector (1970) and, The Eye of the Storm(1973).
White's last two books are among his greatest feats, both as to size and to frenzied building up of tension. The Vivisector is the imaginary biography of an artist, in which a whole life is disclosed in a relentless scrutiny of motives and springs of action: an artist's untiring battle to express the utmost while sacrificing both himself and his fellow-beings in the attempt. The Eye of the Storm places an old, dying woman in the centre of a narrative which revolves round, and encloses, the whole of her environment, past and present, until we have come to share an entire life panorama, in which everyone is on a decisive dramatic footing with the old lady.
Swedish Academy, Nobel Prize in Literature 1973 - Press Release
For a long time White had the distinction of being the only Australian author to have won a Nobel Prize for literature until the poet J M Coetzee, the 2003 Nobel Laureate for Literature moved from South Africa to Adelaide and took Australian citizenship in 2006.
Bernard Katz (1970)

Sir Bernard Katz (1911–2003), a naturalised Australian citizen, shared one-third of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1970 with Swiss Professor Ulf von Euler and American Dr Julius Axelrod.
Katz was born in Leipzig in Germany before working in England in 1935 and then, with a post-doctoral fellowship, he completed his studies under the direction of John Carew Eccles at Sydney Hospital. He later returned to England in 1946, working with Alan Hodgkin and Andrew Huxley, who were to receive the Nobel Prize with Eccles in 1963. Katz served with the Royal Australian Air Force during the Second World War.
The three Nobel Laureates were awarded the prize 'for their discoveries concerning the humoral transmitters in the nerve terminals and the mechanism for their storage, release and inactivation'. Their research led to an understanding of what causes the transmission between the nerve cells, and between the nerve terminals and the effector organs. The transmission between the nerve cells is assisted by chemical substances (neurotransmitters) which carry the message from one cell to the other.
The three scientists worked independently of each other, but their discoveries all contribute in solving principal questions concerning the neurotransmitters, their storage, release, and inactivation.
Aleksandr Mikhailovich Prokhorov (1964)
Professor Aleksandr M Prokhorov. Courtesy of the Nobel Foundation
Professor Aleksandr Mikhailovich Prokhorov (1916–2002) was awarded a quarter of the Nobel Prize in Physics 1964, with American Dr Charles H Townes and Russian Dr Nicolai Gennadiyevich Basov. Prokhorov was born in Atherton, Queensland and went with his family when they returned to Russia in 1923.
Both Prokhorov and Basov were physicists at the P.N. Lebedev Physical Institute in Moscow. They had discovered ways to 'nudge electrons around atoms' leading to the discovery of the maser, a device that emits microwave radiation of a single wavelength. The Nobel Prize was shared with American Professor Charles Hard Townes (receiving half), who had independently developed a maser about the same time.
The prize was awarded 'for fundamental work in the field of quantum electronics, which has led to the construction of oscillators and amplifiers based on the maser-laser principle'. Their research led to the development of the maser, which is important in radio astronomy and which are being used in space research for recording the radio signals from satellites. They also invented the laser, which is now used in a wide range of applications from surgery and engineering to barcode scanners.
Dr. Prokhorov was among 97 Nobel Prize winners who called for a freeze on the development and deployment of nuclear weapons in 1982. In 1983 he founded the General Physics Institute in Moscow, part of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and he served as the Institute's director until 1988.
John Carew Eccles (1963)

Sir John Carew Eccles (1903–1997) shared a third of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1963, with British professors Alan Lloyd Hodgkin and Andrew Fielding Huxley, who worked with Bernard Katz, a Nobel winner in 1970.
Eccles was Professor of Physiology at the Australian National University from 1951 to 1966. He was later Professor of Physiology and Biophysics at the State University of New York, Buffalo 1968-1975.
The 1963 Nobel prize was awarded 'for their discoveries concerning the ionic mechanisms involved in excitation and inhibition in the peripheral and central portions of the nerve cell membrane'. The research concerned the basic processes that cause the electrical impulses which control nerves and, therefore, muscular movement. The results deal with the nature of the nerve impulse itself and with the electrical changes that it causes at the bodies of nerve cells. The electrical processes were recorded with microelectrodes, amplified about a million times, and then displayed on the screen of a cathode ray tube.
Frank Macfarlane Burnet (1960)
Sir Frank Macfarlane Burnet (1899–1985) born in Traralgon, Victoria, shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1960 with British Professor Peter Brian Medawar 'for discovery of acquired immunological tolerance'.
Their work looked at how tissue grafts from one animal to another could be successful without the risk of the animal rejecting the graft. Their experiments introduced foreign tissue into the embryos of mice. The mice were then born normally and the same foreign tissue again injected. The mice did not have any reactions to the grafts, which showed that they had developed immunological tolerance to the foreign material.
Frank Burnet in the lab at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, Melbourne,1945, no source.
Burnet's first book, Biological Aspects of Infectious Disease, was published in 1940. It had wide influence and was translated into several languages. From 1944 to 1965, Burnet conducted his pioneering research at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research. Despite offers of 'chairs' in London twice and at Harvard University, Burnet remained in Australia.
Burnet worked on the genetics of influenza from 1951-56, and then in 1957 decided that research at the Institute should focus on immunology. Burnet introduced a hypothesis about the situation where the body failed to make antibodies to its own components (autoimmunity) and by extension the idea of immune tolerance but was unable to prove this experimentally until he worked with Peter Medawar.
Burnet served on numerous national and international committees, chairing the (Australian) Radiation Advisory Committee (1955–59) and the (British) Commonwealth Foundation (1966–69). Never afraid to speak out on public issues – such as the use of nuclear energy, which he first opposed then later supported – he assumed greater prominence after winning the Nobel Prize. He worked extensively with publishers and the media to promote his blend of popular science, history, social and political theory and philosophy. (G. J. V. Nossal, Burnet, Sir Frank Macfarlane (Mac) (1899–1985), Australian Dictionary of Biography)
Howard Walter Florey (1945)

Sir Howard Walter Florey (1898–1968) shared a third of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1945 with his British colleagues Sir Alexander Fleming and Ernest Boris Chain 'for the discovery of penicillin and its curative effect in various infectious diseases'.
Following the discovery of penicillin by Fleming in 1928, Florey and Chain headed a team of British scientists in 1938 to experiment on mice and then humans. Together with a team of researchers, Florey and Chain spent the next couple of years developing a method that allowed them to create a medicine that could be used to effectively kill harmful bacteria that caused infection, illness and death.
Penicillin, now known as an antibiotic medicine which fights infection, was developed to control a range of illnesses such as general blood poisoning, cerebral meningitis, pneumonia, and syphilis.
William Henry Bragg and William Lawrence Bragg (1915)
Professor William Henry Bragg, Courtesy of the Nobel Foundation
Professor Sir William Henry Bragg (1862–1942) and his son Professor (William) Lawrence Bragg (1890–1971), aged 25 years, were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1915 'for their services in the analysis of crystal structure by means of X-rays'. Lawrence Bragg was the youngest ever Nobel Laureate, but being part of a father-and-son team meant it was years before he received true recognition for his seminal work in X-ray crystallography.
W H Bragg arrived at the University of Adelaide in 1886 to take up his university post, described as 'Professor of Pure and Applied Mathematics, who shall also give instruction in Physics'. The latter was a subject about which he knew very little but he went on to become one of the great thinkers in physics of his age.
In 1904 William H Bragg developed his theory of the ionization of gases, which led to a brilliant series of researches which within three years earned him a fellowship of the Royal Society of London. Bragg concluded that X-rays and γ rays were streams of neutral-pair particles rather than electromagnetic waves. This made him the centre of a controversy for several years.
In 1912 Max von Laue showed that X-rays could be diffracted by crystals and established their wave nature. During that summer Bragg and his son William Lawrence, who was then at Trinity College, Cambridge, discussed this development. While the father, with his experience of ionization measurements, went on to construct an X-ray spectrometer for the further study of the properties of X-rays, the son found a brilliant simplification of Laue's diffraction problem and formulated Bragg's Law, relating the location of maxima of the diffraction pattern to the wavelength of the radiation and the distance between the appropriate planes of atoms in the crystal.

In 1915 William H Bragg was appointed to the Quain chair of physics at University College, London. Lawrence Bragg went on to become director of the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge, where in 1953 James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA, utilizing X-ray crystallography.
Both father and son worked creatively to help develop better public awareness and understanding of science. W H Bragg established a tradition of popularizing science with a Christmas lecture series for young people. Lawrence Bragg visited Australia in 1960 and spoke at the University of Adelaide of the latest triumphs of crystallography.
The process of scientific inquiry
At the 1975 Nobel Banquet, John Warcup Cornforth gave the following description of the process of scientific inquiry;
In a world where it is so easy to neglect, deny, corrupt and suppress the truth, the scientist may find his discipline severe. For him, truth is so seldom the sudden light that shows new order and beauty; more often, truth is the uncharted rock that sinks his ship in the dark. He respects all the more those who can accept that condition; and in returning thanks tonight we are saluting all those who make our load lighter by sharing it.
John Warcup Cornforth, Banquet speech, December 10, 1975

Where I stayed
After 2 days in Copan we headed out to the Caribbean coast to the town of Ceiba, where we left the van at a hotel run by a Quebecois family and ferried to Utila, which is the closest of Honduras' three "Bay Islands".
Utila is to Honduras what Caye Caulker is to Belize, a small, backpacker friendly Caribbean island about an hour off the mainland
The ferry off Utila departs at 6:20 am and taking full advantage of the early start, we made it to the Lago (lake) de Yojoa region in north central Honduras. We camped close to the lake at a resort/farm called Finca Los Glorias, which felt like a Honduran Harrison Hot Springs - a little tired around the edges but still holding an appeal to us middle-class folk.
From Lago de Yojoa, we took 2 nights to get to the border with Nicaragua, staying the second night in Yuscaran, a town that has been declared a national monument by the Honduran government despite (or maybe because of) having only about 2,000 people and being in the middle of nowhere
-Continued cool temperatures: Much of central Honduras, including Copan, Lago Yojoa and Yuscaran, are at higher elevations, which has made the temperature so much more bearable.
-We weren't expecting much from Copan other than its proximity to the ruins but it turned out to be a picturesque little town with a quiet confidence in itself and the afternoon rains brought a dark, smoky feeling, making it feel like a late October day in Vancouver.
-Jim�s Pizza, Copan: We�re glad Jim decided to relocate from the States to Copan, because he had the best pizza yet on the trip, a generator to use when the rain storm knocked out everyone else's power, and he was the first server since San Diego to provide the 2 minute `quality check`. The only thing we didn�t like about Jim is that, somehwat confusingly, he called his vegetarian pizza "The Italian".
-The duty free store, Copan: Great prices such as decent Chilean wine for $3
-Trading a forgettable book about Denzal Washington straight up for Lonely Planet�s guide to Guatemala: It didn't take quite the moxy of the guy who traded a paperclip for a house in Kipling, Saskatchewan but a major fear for us given our need for maps (see below).
-The fridge: This is a tired story by now but, after using every trick we have learned over the past 5 months, we managed to re-light the damn thing on like the 22nd try, buying ourselves another 2 weeks or so of cheap breakfasts.
-Yuscaran: It is perched on the side of a mountain, and has rough cobblestone streets and a little plaza full of palm and pine trees and Honduran cowboys. Hollywood couldn't have created a more perfect movie set for a western movie. And it was the type of place where everybody gave us a cheery "buena dias" when we walked by and escorted us to our destination when we asked for directions.
-The entrance fees to tourist sights: We almost choked in our coffee when we had to dig deep for the $15 entrance fee at Copan ruins that didn�t include the on-site museum (another $10 )...Yes, they are ancient ruins but they ain�t no Disneyland.
-The ferry ride to Utila: Pretty much the most harrowing boat ride either of us have ever been on
-Honduran drivers: In some ways driving in Central America is actually easier than it is in Mexico because there are far fewer vehicles on the roads and the vehicles that are on the roads tend to be in better shape. However, as was hammered home to us on a windy, hilly drive through central Honduras, every 2-lane highway has an amorphous/ambiguous 3rd lane straight up the middle that anyone can use at any time.
-Honduran Spanish: We have had to start at the beginning again, as our tried and tested phrases no longer work for us. Hondurans speak Spanish as if their mouths are full of marbles.
-No maps of cities: We didn't think this one through and only brought one guide book for all of Central America, rather than one for each country. This has left us at the distinct disadvantage of not having a map of most of the cities we go in to. This has tested the team members ability to be nice to one another as we drive around aimlessly for half an hour before getting our bearings.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
MONDAY, May 6 (HealthDay News) -- For women who smoke, vitamin C supplementation during pregnancy is associated with reduced incidence of wheezing in their offspring through the age of 1 year, according to a study presented at the annual meeting of the Pediatric Academic Societies, held from May 4 to 7 in Washington, D.C.
Cindy T. McEvoy, M.D., from the Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, and colleagues examined the impact of supplemental daily vitamin C during pregnancy on the incidence of wheezing within the first year of life. The infants of 76 smokers randomized to vitamin C, the infants of 83 smokers randomized to placebo, and the infants of 76 nonsmokers were assessed at delivery. Ninety-two percent were followed through age 1.
The researchers found that significantly fewer infants of vitamin-C treated versus placebo-treated smokers had at least one episode of wheezing (21 versus 40 percent; adjusted P = 0.019) and fewer infants received medication for wheezing (13 versus 22 percent; adjusted P = 0.14). The incidence of wheezing was significantly lower for those randomized to vitamin C versus placebo for infants of pregnant smokers homozygous or heterozygous for the rs16969968 risk allele (14 versus 48 percent; P = 0.01).
"Vitamin C is a simple, safe, and inexpensive treatment that may decrease the impact of smoking during pregnancy on childhood respiratory health," McEvoy said in a statement. "Though the lung function of all babies born to smokers in our study was improved by supplemental vitamin C, our preliminary data suggest that vitamin C appeared to help those babies at the greatest risk of harm during their development from their mother's smoking in pregnancy."

Guinea pig meat is high in protein and low in fat and cholesterol, and is described as being similar to rabbit and the dark meat of chicken. The animal may be served fried, broiled or roasted, and in urban restaurants may also be served in a casserole or a fricassee.
Guinea pigs were originally domesticated for their meat in the Andes. Traditionally, the animal was reserved for ceremonial meals by indigenous people in the Andean highlands, but since the 1960s it has become more socially acceptable for consumption by all people.It continues to be a major part of the diet in Peru and Bolivia, particularly in the Andes Mountains highlands; it is also eaten in some areas of Ecuador (mainly in the Sierra) and Colombia.

Lonnie Smith
Organist Lonnie Smith has often been confused with keyboardist/pianist Lonnie Liston Smith -- and, in fact, more than a few retailers have wrongly assumed that they're one and the same. In the mid-'60s, the Hammond hero earned recognition for his membership in George Benson's classic quartet before going on to play with Lou Donaldson (contributing some memorable solos to the alto saxman's hit 1967 album Alligator Bogaloo) and recording enjoyable dates of his own for Blue Note. For all their accessibility and commercial appeal, funk-influenced Smith sessions like 1968's Think and 1970's Drives showed that he could be quite imaginative. Smith, who later entered academia and became Dr. Lonnie Smith, remained an inspired representative of soul-jazz and did some solid work with Donaldson in the '90s. Alex Henderson

Misner & Smith
Sam Misner and Megan Smith began their musical collaboration after working together as actors on a production of Woody Guthries American Song and immediately recognized a mutual love of Americana music. Since then, the two have built a steady and loyal following. Balancing their careers as actors and musicians is no easy task, but the two have found the art of storytelling to be one of the common threads running through both forms. Crafting original songs rich in meaning and texture, the duos sound is centered around unique vocal harmonies and evocative lyrics, and in 2007, their song Madeline (Paradise Cracked) won the West Coast Songwriters Associations Song of the Year competition. Their influences span many genres ranging from traditional and old-time music, bluegrass, folk, and rock and roll, to reggae, motown, and the blues. Strong songwriting and an exceptional blend of voices are what set this pair apart.

Strategy development for sustainable repurposing of industrial heritage (125 buildings / 100,000 m2 / 42 ha)
DUS was asked to develop a transformation strategy for the sustainable repurposing of the Hembrug terrain. We developed a growing-up approach (merging top-down and bottom up initiatives) based on gradual transformation. Instead of conducting extensive research, we designed numerous speculative designs for the area, based on the already existing potentials (massive forests, bunkers, excessive space, waterfront areas, vacant warehouses etc.). In a 3-month incubator workshop setting, these speculative designs were shared and developed further with several eco-entrepreneurs. The outcome was a strong strategic approach with enticing focal points for the area with matching sound business plans. The first, the retrieving of energy from plants growing in the area via Plant-E technology, has recently been implemented. DUS is also responsible for the outdoor design elements such as outdoor recreational areas, light features, benches etc. and the gradual built transformation of the area.

Yvonne L Landis - Gainesville, VA
When thinking about how to teach to a group, there is a bigger dynamic than just knowing the "moves", it has to be quicker, the wording/cueing must be better, etc. This course really helped you understand and gave you a jump on how to plan a class to meet all those requirements.
Robert Flores - San Francisco, CA
The workshop is very beneficial to learn about the functionality, cueing of exercises and correct way of executing TRX exercises, along with learning how to run two types of TRX group classes that are both challenging and fun.
Amie Meyer - Atlanta, GA
I would recommend this course to fitness professionals, as well as those not in the business. It is important to utilize the equipment the proper way, and to do that training is essential.
Helen L. Gentile - West Chester, PA
I absolutely love the TRX and use it regularly in my own workouts as well incorporating it into client's workouts. Any time I have the opportunity to learn new exercises or see them performed live, as opposed to watching a Youtube, I will jump at the chance!
Cecily Bailey - San Francisco, CA
TRX combines core, strength, flexibility, endurance, balance and cardio finely tuning the whole body. Every element can be modified to accommodate physical issues, whether a recovery from surgery, injury etc., to enhance athletic performance, or simply enable a good quality of life. Age is not an issue in TRX. I am a good example - many injuries from sports; both knees blown out, an 8 inch rod at the top of my right femur, I have had several other broken bones and 2 months prior to taking the TRX Group Suspension Certification I broke my left wrist. Modifying the elements to accommodate my issues while still challenge my body was an additional education. Since starting my training, every area of my body that has an issue has become much stronger. As a ballroom, latin, swing and Argentine Tango dancer, I have noticed that my axis is now more grounded - essential wearing the 4' high heels. I am 70 years young. Am I your oldest gal to be certified? I set my bar high and will be a good model. TRX is a win / win lifestyle.
Andrea Mosher - Pittsford, NY
I think TRX is awesome!! This course was organized, well-run, thought provoking and motivating. As a Personal Trainer, I find the use of the TRX an exciting addition to my "bag of tricks". I love the fact that it is so modifiable for people at any exercise level.
Leslie Bodner - Pleasanton, CA
I had a very good experience with the class and would definitely recommend it to others. The course materials were excellent and the support from TRX was solid. I've been to a number of other training courses and found this to be top notch.

PITTSBURGH-Joe Namath, the pride of Beaver Falls, was back in his hometown over the weekend.
During the visit, he was honored by his high school alma mater before the Beaver Falls Tigers took on archrival Aliquippa.
The Aliquippa coach, Mike Zmijanac, was asked what Namath's presence meant to the players.
"Nothing," he said. "These kids don't know who Joe Namath is."
Harsh, perhaps, but correct.
One of the things we lose track of in sports is time.
To understand Namath and the context of what his outsized personality meant in his time, you pretty much have to be over 50.
One of the challenges of getting older (one of them, anyway) is keeping some sort of perspective on this.
Former second baseman Jose Lind was a guest bartender at Friday's Pirates game. The young woman who appears on the scoreboard during the game was checking on the pronunciation of his name.
She's 23. She doesn't remember Lind or the Pirates' division-winning teams of the early 1990s.
Time moves on, and it goes more swiftly than a lot of us would like.
When I was a kid, I'd come from home school and tear into the Pittsburgh Press sports section in lieu of doing homework.
Pat Livingston used to cover the Steelers beat. It seemed like at least once a week, he'd be reminiscing about some story that involved Art Rooney and George Halas and Bert Bell and Sid Luckman and..zzzzzz.
That's the danger of doing too much of the good old days. Some people enjoy the ride; others choose not to take the trip because it has little relevance.
Namath's case is instructive. He guaranteed the underdog New York Jets would beat the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III. That was a huge deal in its time because most pre-game interviews followed this script:
"We're going to give it our best effort, hope we get the breaks and that we're fortunate enough to come out on top."
In a world where pro football players have babies with supermodels who aren't their wives and Tweet insults, Namath's act seems tame.
Trust me, in 1969, it was groundbreaking. Most players, no matter how flamboyant, didn't wear fur coats.
To a past generation, Joe DiMaggio was the stylish center fielder for the New York Yankees. To their children, he was the old guy who did the Mr. Coffee commercials.
Time moves on. Joe Namath is 68 now. His fans have grandchildren.

I'm 20 and recently found out I'm pregnant and due on Christmas at that. I've been single since i found out i was pregnant, the father to be has chosen to cut all ties with me and i'm completely lost and terrified to do this alone. I have the support of my family and friends, but nothing fills the void of knowing my child won't have their father in their life. the father already has a daughter that he doesn't see anymore, and this pregnancy was not expected, but at the same time I didn't abandon it, why is he? is it me? I also grew up without knowing my father and it scares me to know someone else is going to have to deal with that. any advice would help, i'm lost and its emotionally and physically tearing me apart.
Single and Scared

All you can do is make sure that you keep that door open to him. Yes he is being a jerk and leaving you to do this by yourself but you can get through this. Keep your head up. It isn't easy. I see my LOs father everyday, because we work together, and he doesn't say two words to me. He doesn't ask about our daughter he doesn't ask to see if I am ok, he wants nothing to do with me. And yes at first I was devastated. But I have someone else to think of now and I can't just let myself fall. Because if I fall she falls too. So I made my self be storng and be happy for the sake of my child. And that is what you have to do. You can get through this. And someday you will find someone that is going to love both you and your child. This is not the end for you. Stay strong.
I'm trying my best to stay strong, and it helps alot knowing there's others out there in the same situation, although i don't wish this upon anyone. thank you for this, your support and words mean more than you think.
I'm a 19 year old single mom, and it looks like my baby's dad is going to be one of those parents who shows up every couple of years and then disappears again. The best advice is like she said above, make sure you leave the door open so that its never YOU keeping him away from her, its always his choice. It's great that you have so much support and I'm sure baby will become close with either a male member of your family or one of your close guy friends and he will become the stable father figure your baby needs. And, who knows, you may even meet Mr. Right who will love baby as his own. I know plenty of families where one child is "adopted" by the dad but it makes no difference in the love they feel.
it gets easier to deal with over time. my daughter is 3 months and her father is no longer around. at first it was really tough, but once u see her smile, hear her laugh, and hold her hand you'll forget that u were ever sad. it is hard to do a 2 person job by yourself but u have a good support system. just remember ur child has u and u have him/her. this too shall pass =)

We'll be walking this Saturday for the 3rd time as the Buddy Bears in the Greater Chicago Epilepsy Walk. This is Noah's first year walking seizure-free, med-free, and diet-free.
Yes, I am still pinching myself and thanking God every day. I don't forget, and I do not take days- even mere moments- for granted.
This day after Mother's Day I am very proud of being a Mama Cat and doing everything I could to help my child. I am so thankful that we relied soley on our faith in God that He would guide us and heal our son Noah. He does indeed have big plans.

I agree about the travel and about the opponents. But keep in mind, SJ, Van, LA, Phx, those all have to do plenty of travel themselves. I don't know if it's harder for them to travel here and play earlier games to their biological clocks or for east coast teams to travel west and play later games according to their biological clocks (probably better to travel east than west actually).
In a perfect scenario, Chicago gets 7th or 8th, we get 3rd, avoid Chicago, and let Chicago take a shot at upsetting one of the other two big boys who in my opinion, and it is painful to say it, look to be the teams to beat over the Wings in the west. Not just because they finished higher in standing, but because they have not won anything and both teams are very good, well rounded, well coached, and have had disappointing post seasons in recent memory.
I don't know if I'm more afraid of Vancouver or SJ this year. San Jose just looks scary as hell. They just dismantled Dallas, a team that is trying ot make the playoffs, then just dismantled LA, which was trying to catch them in the standings. scoring 6 goals on both of those teams in a 'playoff atmosphere' to me is scary.
Chicago scares me because they're the one team that has something to prove specfically with beating Detroit. I don't think the wings will go to Chicago and win any games there. I think it would be a seven game series and a home team series (home team wins all the games). That chitcago crowd is BRUTAL. I can't stand the "Detroit Sucks" chant constantly. I just don't want to go through that, at least not in round 1. IF we were to get them in round 2 or even 3 I could deal with it then, but not round 1. That would likely mean we'd have to face Chicago, SJ, then VAN and that would probably be an overbearing path.
You're right, Red Wings should just forfeit the playoffs this year.

San Juan Basin Royalty Trust (NYSE: SJT ) announced yesterday its July monthly distribution of $0.080643 per unit, based principally upon production during the month of April.
The board of directors said the dividend is payable on July 15 to the holders of record at the close of business on June 28. The trust reported that gas production for the properties from which the royalty was carved totaled approximately 2,938,341 million cubic feet, or 3,229,404 million BTUs.
Dividing revenues by production volume yielded an average gas price for April of $3.66 per Mcf ($3.33 per MMBtu) as compared to $3.32 per Mcf ($3.01 per MMBtu) for March. The distribution to the trust in any given month may include significant volume adjustments for sales in prior months that reflect pricing for those prior months.
The latest payment would equate to approximately $0.97-per-unit annual dividend, yielding 6.2% based on the closing price of San Juan Realty Trust's stock on June 18.

Boeing Co. has been hyping the cabin comforts of its 787 Dreamliner for years, and passengers and journalists have offered mostly positive reviews since the composite-bodied jet began flying commercially last October.
This month, with the delivery of the first 787 made in North Charleston, local media, including The Post and Courier, finally got a chance to see, touch and smell the vaunted interior of the new jet.
In some respects, it was just another airplane. There were seats in rows, windows and overhead compartments, and a cockpit in the front and a galley in the back.
But in other obvious ways, like the fresh scent, it was clearly a new unit of a new model. The business-class seats were spacious and comfortable, and they lie flat, though that capability was not turned on for the media tour. The economy seats were harder and a much tighter fit.
The windows were noticeably larger and tinted dramatically at the push of a button, either letting in the bright South Carolina sun or dimming to darkness.
Looking up, the swing-down design of the new, larger stow bins are clearly an improvement from other airplanes, and the LED lighting in the ceiling was a pleasant blue.
While the few minutes aboard the jet on the ground did not test its in-flight features, such as higher humidity to decrease fatigue over a long voyage, the 787 cabin seemed a nice enough place to spend several hours.
From waste to watts
Restaurant kitchen grease, chicken farm sludge and wastewater plant residues will be put to a noble new use soon in Berkeley County. Come November, methane from the naturally decomposing products will be harnessed to produce enough electricity to power about 530 homes.
Sumter-based GenEarth/BioEnergy Technologies will begin converting organic waste products into a gas that will be converted into about 1.6 megawatts of electricity at its new power production plant at the county landfill near Moncks Corner. Its designed to handle 65,000 tons of waste per year.
State-owned utility Santee Cooper will buy the power through a 20-year agreement with the company.
GenEarth CEO Greg Thompson said there are possibly other potential fuels that have not been identified. The plant was constructed with the ability to expand to accept other fuel sources as they become available, he added.
Liquid and solid materials exiting the system will be pasteurized to meet state health regulations for the production of bio-solids for agricultural use. About 25,000 tons per year can be produced.
The project is a first for GenEarth. Public agencies and companies that will be funneling waste products to the new facility instead of the landfill are Berkeley County Water and Sanitation Authority, Charleston Water System and chicken producer Pilgrims Pride of Sumter.
Room to spare
After the 2012 PGA Championship brought a bumper crop of out-of-town visitors to Charleston County hotels in August, the lodging industry settled back down to a more normal pace in September.
Occupancy declined 1.2 percent in the county compared to a year ago for a total rate of 69.9 percent. About 2,250 fewer room nights were sold last month versus September 2011, according to the College of Charlestons Office of Tourism Analysis.
One notable industry trend is the continual rise in average daily room rates, which were up 2 percent in September to $122.19. That figure has now risen on a year-over-year basis for 21 consecutive months.
Year to date, occupancy at Charleston County hotels is up by 0.3 percent, while the average daily rate climbed faster at 6 percent.
Peninsula hotels led all sub-markets with 82.2 percent occupancy and an average daily rate of $163.52 in September. Occupancy was up 1.1 percent while the average daily rate was down 1.3 percent.
In all, county hotels sold 315,796 room nights in September. The county has about 15,060 rooms, not including its beach communities.
Growth cycle
The new federal fiscal year doesnt usually inspire the champagne and fireworks that attend the beginning of a new calendar year. But after winning more than $60 million worth of work in the days surrounding Oct. 1, the team at Life Cycle Engineering had good reason to celebrate.
On Sept. 25, the North Charleston-based company announced it had won a $23.7 million contract to work on mechanical and electrical systems and equipment for a Navy unit in Philadelphia.
On Oct. 2, the news came that the firm had been awarded another contract worth nearly $24 million for similar work on ships and submarines.
To boot, the company had won a $7.8 million contract from the same division of the Navy earlier in September.
And on Oct. 1, the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic in North Charleston awarded Life Cycle a $19 million task order to provide technical solutions and support services.
Sequestration may be worrying the defense contracting industry this fall, but it appears Life Cycle Engineering, founded in 1976, is doing just fine.
Looking for a nibble
A Minneapolis-based barbecue chain says it is kicking the tires in the area as it seeks out potential franchisees. Famous Daves of America says it will add 50 new locations throughout the country during the next two years, with 10 to 12 sites in South Carolina and two or three in the Charleston area.
The restaurant company has 186 units in its current portfolio. Its casual-dining restaurants are generally 5,000-plus square feet, but its new shack concept is about 3,000 square feet.

AIGLE, Switzerland — The International Cycling Union will again work with the French anti-doping agency to test riders on the Tour de France.
Orica-GreenEDGE rider Daryl Impey of South Africa was omitted from the team's Tour de France lineup after failing a doping test.
UCI President Brian Cookson says in a statement, "this partnership demonstrates that all anti-doping organizations can join forces to ensure the reputation of cycling."
Several measures have been put in place "to ensure the maximum efficiency of the control system" including the blood testing of all the cyclists shortly before the start in Leeds, England, on Saturday.
Moreover, some samples will be kept "possibly for several years" to be tested in the future following developments in detection methods.
No riders tested positive for doping during last year's race, where 622 samples were collected.
Australian-based Orica-GreenEDGE released a statement Wednesday saying it was notified by The South African Institute for Drug-Free Sport that the 29-year-old delivered a positive A and B sample to the banned masking agent Probenecid after the South African Championships on Feb. 6.
Impey became the first African rider to wear the Tour de France's yellow jersey last year when he led the standings during stages six and seven.
This year's Tour starts Saturday in Leeds, England, and ends in Paris on July 27.

Quotas contribute to the mass detention of hundreds of thousands of people every year. Ending this policy is a necessary and timely first step toward stopping immigrant detention, which pulls loved ones apart and causes untold psychological suffering as well as financial hardship.
The U.S. deports over 300,000 people annually and holds approximately 400,000 people in immigrant detention facilities across the country at an annual cost of over $2 billion.
All people in the U.S.—regardless of immigration status—have a right to work with dignity, but immigrant workers are often denied this right.
The U.S.-Mexico border stands to become one of the world's most militarized borders, even though the two countries are not at war.
