• Drugs with antimuscarinic activity are used for a wide variety of medical conditions. Unfortunately, side effects that develop as a result of muscarinic blockade are common and their frequency and clinical significance appear to increase with advanced age. Nevertheless, such drugs are frequently prescribed to elderly persons, particularly to those living in nursing homes. This review details the prevalence of antimuscarinic drug use in the elderly, the classes of drugs that exhibit antimuscarinic activity, organ-specific effects of muscarinic blockade, side effects identified in elderly individuals, and strategies to prevent or treat complications of antimuscarinic therapy, including recent advances in the development of drugs with selective activity for specific subclasses of muscarinic receptors.

YOUNGSTOWN - More than 400 registered nurses at Northside Medical Center could take a strike authorization vote, depending on a bargaining session today, a union official said Tuesday.
"We'll have an informational meeting Thursday at which members will have to make some decisions. A strike authorization vote could be one of those decisions," Eric Williams, president of the Youngstown General Duty Nurses Association/Ohio Nurses Association said.
A bargaining session is scheduled for today in Boardman. Williams declined to say where and at what time it will be held.
Registered nurses at ValleyCare's Hillside Rehabilitation Hospital in Howland are scheduled to bargain with management Thursday as a separate unit of the Ohio Nurses Association, he said. Both contracts expire July 19, he said.
Issues include pay increases, staffing and health care costs, Williams said. He said there's no talk of an extension.
In a statement, Northside Medical Center said it's "committed to providing excellent care and a safe and comfortable hospital environment for our patients. We staff our hospital based on the number of patients in our care and their medical needs and greatly appreciate the many employees who deliver that care day in and day out.
"As a major employer in this community, we value all of our employees, whether represented by a union or not. We strive to provide good working conditions, and fair compensation and benefits.
"Staffing language in our collective bargaining agreement with the Youngstown General Duty Nurses Association is governed and driven by Ohio legislation and it is the hospital's position that this language be maintained.
"We are currently engaged in collective bargaining over a new contract for employees represented by YDGNA, with negotiations under the auspices of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service scheduled on July 11 and 18. We are hopeful that both sides will remain focused on those negotiations so that a mutually acceptable agreement can be reached."
The union said management is offering to boost annual wages by 1.25 percent, 1 percent and 1 percent, with complete elimination of the registered nurse wage scale, which means all step increases would be eliminated, the union said.
The company is proposing a wage scale for new nurses that's less than their proposal for current nurses, the union added.
The nurses countered on June 20 with a proposal of 12 percent, 4.5 percent and 4.5 percent.
"Nurses haven't had a raise for six years," Williams said, adding management hasn't countered the union's proposal.
Another management proposal could cut nurses' pay by more than 50 percent in any two-week period, or more because they would face greater cost for health care in some cases, he said.
The union cited nursing research that it said shows the more registered nurses working, the better the odds of a patient recovering during a hospital stay.
Williams was frustrated by what he called a lack of negotiations.
"These are difficult negotiations at best," he said, adding management doesn't have a nursing representative at the table. "We want to engage in conversation over nursing issues like staffing levels and patient care, and they don't want to. I wish I knew why."

SOUTH BRUNSWICK – A Kendall Park woman was drunk when she slammed into a police cruiser, sending the officer to the hospital with serious injuries, according to the South Brunswick Police Department.
Shawn Frazier, 42, was charged with assault by auto, driving while intoxicated and reckless driving. Frazier's 2002 Nissan Altima broadsided Patrolman First Class Mark Lorenc's marked patrol car, which was helping direct traffic after an earlier crash on Route 1 in late March, police said.
It's the second incident of an alleged drunk driver colliding with a cop car; a different officer was hospitalized after a collision in January.
"Drinking and driving don't mix, and these officers, our department, and Township are paying the price from poor decisions," Chief Raymond Hayducka said in a news release today.
Hayducka said the incidents have cost the township more than $100,000 in totaled cruisers and the work time missed by the two officers. Both officers survived the crashes, but it's unclear whether they'll ever return to work, Hayducka said.
So far in 2013, police have made 34 drunk-driving arrests, South Brunswick Traffic Safety Bureau Sergeant Ken Drost said in a news release. That's double the number of arrests at this point in 2012.
"We will continue to be vigilant with increased patrols on the roadways and plain clothes officers at liquor establishments," Hayducka said. "We need everyone to be alert and take extra caution during this upcoming prom and graduation season."
Frazier was released after posting $7,500 bail. The investigation involved a blood test, interviews and a reconstruction of the accident scene, police said.

During the past half century, this country's biomedical research enterprise has, with few, if any, exceptions, increased in size and scope each year. Fueled to a great extent by the robust extramural research budget of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the number of medical school faculty engaged in research has grown accordingly. Despite these trends, some believe that the size of the research enterprise may not be sustainable in the years ahead because of inadequate levels of NIH funding, even though such funding is likely to continue increasing well into the future. Be that as it may, it is important to recognize that there are other factors that may adversely affect the growth of the country's biomedical research enterprise. Among these are forces acting to produce an environment within medical schools and teaching hospitals that could become less friendly to and supportive of the conduct of research.
There is no question that the environment within which biomedical research is conducted has changed rather dramatically in recent years. Some of the changes are the result of government efforts to address moral and ethical breaches by individual investigators and the failure of institutions to adequately monitor the conduct of research by members of their faculties and staffs. Other changes reflect the complexity introduced by the increase in funding by for-profit corporations. And some reflect the growing complexity of the organizational structures of academic medical centers and its impact on the relationships within the institutions. But despite all of these forces (and others), the biomedical research enterprise so far continues to thrive.
This issue of the journal presents articles about additional challenges that must be met to sustain the research productivity of U.S. medical schools and teaching hospitals. The authors address various aspects of two factors that are key to carrying out biomedical research in academic medical centers—namely, the number and qualifications of those faculty whose primary responsibility in their institutions is the conduct of research. Taken as a whole, the articles suggest that the leaders of academic medical centers must consider some new approaches for managing their institutions' biomedical research effort.
In their article, Bickel and Brown raise what may prove to be one of the most important issues determining the future of the country's biomedical enterprise: creating effective programs for mentoring young faculty. Among the points they make is that because of the growing complexity of academic medicine, mentoring young faculty is increasingly important for their career development and, therefore, for the future success of their institutions. And they maintain that one of the keys to effective mentoring is to overcome the generational differences that are now so apparent in academic institutions. In their view, if academic medical centers hope to maintain their research enterprises over time, they must find ways to bridge the generational differences that exist between current faculty members and the medical students, graduate students, and residents who will compose the research faculty of the future.
Chang and colleagues describe an additional factor in the challenge of developing effective mentoring programs for young research scientists. They acknowledge the importance of mentors in guiding the career development of young scientists in the traditional postdoctoral training model. But they point out that the emerging demand for multidisciplinary investigations of research questions requires that new approaches be adopted for postdoctoral training, and describe a successful example of such an approach. They emphasize that the multidisciplinary nature of the necessary new training models makes it difficult to identify faculty who can effectively guide the development of young scientists.
Needless to say, effective mentoring of trainees interested in careers in biomedical research will contribute to the future health of the country's biomedical enterprise only if the institutions where they work manage their resources to create a productive research environment. In the third article in this issue of the journal, Joiner points out that decisions regarding the allocation of scarce institutional resources for the recruitment of new faculty are among the most crucial ones that leaders of academic institutions must face. He suggests that faculty recruits should not be viewed in isolation but instead treated as "projects" that the institution is investing in with the hope of an appropriate return on the investment at some time in the future. And he goes on to propose a strategy to do this. He argues that viewing the recruitment of faculty in this way provides a more systematic approach for prioritizing resource allocation across the institution, which will result in its greater success in the long run.
Finally, Bland and colleagues shed light on some of the factors affecting the research productivity of institutions. Their model, not surprisingly, points out that individual, institutional, and leadership characteristics influence the productivity of individuals and departments operating within a large, research-oriented medical school. Their analysis makes clear that the motivation of individual investigators, effective mentoring of young research faculty, protected time to conduct research, and the opportunity to interact with a network of colleagues are critical determinants of the research productivity of the institution. Leaders of academic institutions who do not focus some of their time and effort on ensuring that these conditions exist cannot expect their institutions to develop or maintain meaningful research programs.
These four articles outline many of the strategies that institutional leaders must adopt if they want their institutions to have strong research programs in the future. For example, these leaders must understand the personal and career goals of individuals currently in training, since some of them must become future leaders of the country's biomedical research enterprise. They must ensure that their institutions have training programs in place that will prepare those individuals to address the kinds of multidisciplinary research questions they will face in the future. And they must ensure that those individuals are effectively mentored throughout the early years of their career development. Academic leaders must become more strategic in committing institutional resources to the recruitment of new faculty and creating conditions within their institutions to ensure that motivated and skilled individuals will be as productive as they can be. A major agenda and a major challenge for these leaders¡

|Cavan: Turkey-plucker bows out on a high
|| Print |
|Wednesday, 10 December 2008
Vincent Pilkington from Cootehill, who is the world's fastest turkey-plucker, has retired from the world of competitive plucking, having recently reached his sixtieth birthday. And Vincent finished his career by helping to raise funds for the town's senior citizens, and was able to take his time over it. Almost thirty years ago he set a world record when he stripped a turkey in only ninety seconds, and his record has never been beaten. Now, however, he feels the job is becoming too hard, what with killing and plucking turkeys, and he has decided to call it a day.

Last week, MitchPablum asked a very good question when it was announced that Rodney Stuckey would return to the lineup two weeks after collapsing March 5 during a game at Cleveland.
"Was an 'official cause' ever given for Stuckey's collapse?" he wrote. "How as a reporter do you approach the story if no cause is given? Do you pursue it? Why or why not?"
The first question can be answered quickly: No.
The second is much more complicated.
First of all, it appears that Stuckey's collapse did not involve anything major. Trust me when I say that I -- a slightly overweight sports writer who was pushing 40 pretty hard a few days ago -- is much more likely to suffer major problems with his heart than Stuckey is. Dude's been tested about as hard as a human being can be tested.
As far as continuing to chase the story? Well, it's one thing to doggedly pursue a story involving a trade rumor or an off-the-court issue. But the issue involving Stuckey deals with his life and his health. The guy deserves a bit of privacy.
The thing about sports journalism that people might not know is that athletes and coaches are asked the same questions repeatedly. Each new stop in each new town leads to a new group of reporters asking the same questions about the issue of the day.
Sometimes, it's no different at home. An athlete gets asked six questions about something -- his health, his last game, the next opponent -- and the next day, a handful of different reporters are at practice asking the same questions. For an athlete, it must get pretty old.
Another thing: Not every question is created equal. Asking a guy 15 times about the struggles his team is having is one thing. Asking a guy 15 times, "Are you going to be concerned the first time you play after what happened in Cleveland?" is an entirely different thing.
I spoke with Stuckey briefly Friday night after he scored 25 points in his return to the lineup. A group of reporters from Indiana asked him the same questions he had been answering for days. (And some of them, despite decades in the business, still don't know how to ask sensitive questions sensitively.)
After everyone walked away, I told Stuckey it was nice to see him back on the court. I told him I was done asking him about his health, but that journalists keep asking him the same question because we hear from fans and know how concerned they are about him. He said he understands why it happens and thanked me for my comments. Stuckey seems like one of the good guys.
Stuckey is a human being who is certainly at least a little bit concerned about his health. He has a family that shares his concern. He is a finely tuned athlete, no doubt. But he is human.
No matter how interested people are in what led to his collapse in Cleveland, there comes a time when we all need to drop the issue, let the guy play and say a little prayer that he is -- as he appears to be -- just fine.
It's time.

Syracuse, N.Y. — A countertop contractor repeatedly defrauded customers in Syracuse and Western New York by performing shoddy work or no work at all after accepting payment, state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman alleged today.
Schneiderman filed legal action in Monroe County Supreme Court seeking a permanent injunction against Ismail Cakir, president of Rochester-based Metropolitan Granite & Marble LLC.
Cakir "persistently" defrauded consumers in the Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse areas by accepting full or partial payments for granite and marble countertops and tile and either failing to install them or performing "shoddy and unprofessional work," Schneiderman said.
His office said eight of the complaints about Cakir were from customers in the Syracuse area and involved $15,160 in claims.
Calls from syracuse.com to Metropolitan Granite & Marble stores listed in Rochester and at 2704 Erie Blvd. E. in Syracuse were met with recordings indicating their phones were no longer in service.
The attorney general's office said it began receiving complaints about Cakir and Metropolitan Granite & Marble in 2010. Initially, the office attempted to mediate the complaints. But numerous customers never received promised refunds, Schneiderman said.
At least 13 customers obtained judgments against Cakir's company in small claims courts in Syracuse and Rochester. However, none of them were able to collect on the judgments, the attorney general's office said.
Metropolitan Granite & Marble Inc. was dissolved in 2011 for failing to pay state sales taxes, but Cakir registered his business under a slightly different name, Metropolitan Granite & Marble LLC, and resumed operations without paying the promised refunds or small claims judgments, Schneiderman's office said.
Schneiderman asked the court to bar Cakir from ever operating a home improvement business in New York again and to order him to pay $10,641 in restitution for defrauded customers, $32,200 in unpaid small claims judgments and $117,000 in costs and penalties.

Delaware's Broadband Mapping Project
In mid-December 2009, the state of Delaware was awarded funds to research and publish broadband options for its citizens. Governor Jack Markell designated the Department of Technology and Information (DTI) as the agency to receive, apply and implement the funds, according to the guidelines and mandates of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA).
In 2010, the broadband mapping portion of this program was initiated by DTI, consisting of data collection, the development of a statewide broadband availability map, transmission of that data to NTIA for the development of its national broadband map, and the long-term maintenance of this data by the state.
What is Broadband, and how can it help me?
Broadband is also known as high speed Internet. Broadband allows you to connect to the World Wide Web with data transfer speeds that are significantly faster than the speeds that dial-up access offers. High quality, reliable broadband gives you access to a wide range of resources, services, and products that can enhance your life and productivity in a variety of ways. For example, broadband lets you quickly download music, games, and movies. It also lets you connect to and use websites that feature interactive content, video streaming, photo storage, and much more.
Delaware Citizens
Public users access the broadband application as any other website. A citizen will be able to search the maps based on general or specific broadband query fields. For example, a public user can see which areas of the state currently have fiber optic coverage, or they can enter their home address and find out which service providers offer broadband in their area. These functionalities are accessible to the general public and do not require any user authentication.
Delaware Businesses
Businesses can use the site for various purposes, some of them are:

This Humanities Institute will initiate a trans-disciplinary survey of critical issues attendant to the rise of cyber-culture: the effects of cyber-culture on "discipline," in terms of both specific disciplines of knowledge and broader modes of social surveillance.
The rise of cyber-culture and new media presents significant challenges and opportunities to academic disciplines, within and beyond the Humanities. Technologies such as personal computers, digital databases, and the world wide web are transforming how scholars research, teach, and publish. For some scholars, their very object of study has been altered. For still others, cyber-culture has afforded innovations in methodology, collaboration, and practical application. Beyond these developments, cyber-culture also includes broad cultural and social transformations, from changes in work patterns and entertainment forms to the rise of global commerce and new definitions of the nation-state. For many, these changes index the emergence of a new form of global surveillance and power.
We have assembled 15 scholars to investigate these issues and their attendant research in relation to them. Two conferences are scheduled in conjunction with the Institute (see associated links). A volume of essays by participants in the Institute and the conferences will follow.

Organizational design in the context of new venture development is particularly challenging due to initially severe resource constraints. We address the question of when initial venture idea assets versus founder contracting experience are more important for venture performance. One view of new venture performance emphasizes the importance of innovative ideas. Others argue that founders with knowledge of how to structure the venture's assets are key to performance. Using unique survey data, we advance an integrated perspective by showing that new ventures perform better when they both identify innovative ideas and assemble founders with expertise in structuring organizational arrangements to commercialize those ideas.

The French National Assembly voted overwhelmingly on a draft law to legalize same sex marriage and adoption by homosexual couples. The measure now heads to the Senate where it is expected to pass.
Hundreds of protestors gathered outside the National Assembly on Tuesday to protest the bill. French Catholics along with French Muslims and evangelical Christians oppose the law.
But polls show that most French people support legalizing gay marriage.
"We won't judge people in terms of their sexual orientation by differentiating any more," said Bruno Le Roux, leader of the Socialist Members of Parliament. "It's one fewer difference to be made, so it really is a great day for equal rights."
About a dozen European nations allow same-sex marriage.
France has already legalized civil unions for same-sex couples, but the new law would give gay couples the rights to adopt.

I baked these cookie's tot my Father. He is Diabetic and will think they are great! There wad a Taste Test ; conclusion: They melt in your mouth! Taste like Peanut Butter cookies. Tum.
Loved these! There is absolutely nothing not to love about these as they taste great, have perfect texture, look good and are quick and easy to make. I made as written and not only did we enjoy them by a diabetic co-worker who also enjoyed them was tickled to death to have the recipe. Thanks so much for the post, I will be making these often.
These went down like a lead balloon. They taste blah and the texture is blah in your mouth. I would rather have no cookies than these cookies. I have tried this type of recipe before and they were bad so I don't know what I was thinking LOL!

Hotels in Paris near Paris Montparnasse Station
Hotels in the 14th arrondissement
Hotels near Montparnasse Tower are plentiful and varied, ranging from budget hostels catering for the neighborhood's fluctuating student population to high-end luxury hotels designed to satisfy international travelers in search of Parisian chic and comfort. 3-star hotels near Montparnasse Tower include the Hotel Agenor, a traditional-style hotel in the heart of the historic Belle Epoque district, or the more contemporary Hôtel Mistral, where you can dine on a charming patio surrounded by fragrant flowers and shrubs. Hôtel Suites Unic Renoir Saint Germain, located on a quiet street close to the famous Rive Gauche Latin quarter, also offers serviced suites and studios, which are ideal for longer stays.
Things to see in the 14th arrondissement
Get your bearings with a trip to the top of Montparnasse Tower—the observation deck on the 56th floor is famous for its perfect views of the Eiffel Tower! Back at ground level, wander through Montparnasse Cemetery to spot the headstones of legendary local residents including Jean-Paul Sartre, Charles Baudelaire, and Samuel Beckett. One of the more popular attractions in the 14th arrondissement is a tour of the atmospheric Paris Catacombs, a network of underground tunnels dating back to Roman times, now lined with skulls and bones removed from overcrowded Paris cemeteries during the 18th and 19th centuries. The Fondation Cartier is a museum of contemporary art founded by the watchmaker and jeweler Cartier, and offers a changing program of exhibitions by established and up-and-coming artists as well as an eclectic permanent collection. The Cité Universitaire is well worth a visit to admire the wide-ranging architectural styles of its buildings, designed by different nations to accommodate students and researchers from all over the world.
Good for students and solo travelers
The main artery of the 14th arrondissement is Boulevard du Montparnasse, a lively strip of bars and restaurants populated night and day by an ever-changing population of fun-seeking visitors and locals. The neighborhood is a popular hangout for students from the Cité Universitaire and backpackers snatching a few days in the capital before heading off for pastures new. This bohemian melting-pot is a great place to make new friends and maybe share some adventures. Cheap hotels near Montparnasse Tower are plentiful, so you can stretch your budget further while still being within walking distance of all the sights.
How to get to the 14th arrondissement
If you're arriving in Paris via Charles de Gaulle or Orly airports, the RER rapid transport system will deliver you swiftly to Gare Montparnasse. This station is a busy terminus for France's excellent high-speed railway network, with connections to other European capitals. Getting around the 14th arrondissement is simple and easy, with numerous metro, bus, and tram lines crisscrossing the neighborhood and connecting with all the major public transportation hubs. The atmospheric residential streets around Montparnasse Tower are equally rewarding to explore on foot.

`Walking Dead' stars coming to Cleveland
December 10, 2012 - Andy Gray
Four days after "The Walking Dead" returns to AMC, several of its stars will be coming to Cleveland for a live event.
Norman Reedus (Daryl), Steve Yeun (Glenn) and Lauren Cohan (Maggie) will be joined by executive producer and special effects guru Greg Nicotero for "The Walking Dead Live" at PlayhouseSquare's State Theatre on Feb. 14.

The evening will feature a panel discussion, fan Q&A, screening of unaired footage and a look behind the scenes of the basic cable series that is the top-rated program among viewers ages 18-49.

Our View: Pay attention to state Senate race
State Sen. Bob Robbins, 69, of Mercer County, R-50th Dist., a six-term senator, has announced that he won't run for re-election in 2014.
Robbins' decision to retire has prompted four candidates to announce for his seat. State Rep. Greg Lucas, of Edinboro, R-5th Dist.; state Rep. Michelle Brooks, of Jamestown, R-17th Dist.; and businesswoman Jane MacPherson, of Hermitage, will seek the Republican nomination. Michael Muha, a lawyer from Hermitage, will seek the Democratic nomination.
This is an important race to track, for several reasons. Part of Robbins' legacy is he voted for the middle-of-the-night pay raise for lawmakers in 2005. He also sponsored legislation to allow public notices, or legal ads, to run on government websites instead of in daily newspapers. If that legislation had passed, it would have made it more difficult for people to know about public meetings, zoning issues and bids on government contracts. We expect Robbins' successor to be a much stronger advocate of government transparency.
Erie County voters will have to become familiar with candidates for this Senate seat because Edinboro, Edinboro University of Pennsylvania and Washington Township have been incorporated into the 50th District. The redistricting plan faced a court challenge, but after some changes, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court approved the plan to go into effect for the 2014 election.
Two senators will represent Erie County -- Sen. Sean Wiley, D-49th, and Robbins' successor. In theory, that could provide more clout for Erie County, but few see it that way. Republican Jane Earll didn't agree when she represented the 49th District.
"Edinboro University is such a partner to the many initiatives here in Erie County that to put them in a (different) Senate seat -- to take them out of the 49th -- was done over my objections," Earll said in May 2012.
Brooks, MacPherson and Muha are all from Mercer County. Lucas is a freshman legislator, but his 5th District seat will be eliminated by redistricting at the end of the term. The 5th District includes much of western Erie and Crawford counties, which will be split between the 6th (Brad Roae), 17th (Brooks) and 3rd (Ryan Bizzarro) districts. And state Rep. Curt Sonney, R-4th Dist., will pick up Waterford. It's confusing.
Lucas will soon live in the 3rd District, where he could have challenged Democratic freshman Ryan Bizzarro, of Millcreek Township. Bizzarro has announced that he will seek re-election to the House.
Lucas, 53, explained why he will run for the 50th District Senate seat instead. "I am running for the Senate because I have a workingman's perspective in addition to a proven record of confronting and doing everything I can to resolve the very serious problems we face in Pennsylvania." If elected, Lucas said he would not serve more than two four-year terms.
Brooks' status in the 17th House District is less clear as she seeks the 50th District Senate seat.
As races progress, we will ask candidates how they will represent Erie County's best interests if elected.

Sermon shared by Dean Rhine
May 2000
Summary: How sexual sins will trap you
Scripture: Proverbs 2:1-5:10 (add scripture)
Denomination: Evangelical/Non-denominational
Audience: General adults
About Sermon Contributor

More Sermons from Dean
Intro: I think I have mentioned before, I have a chipmunk living in my house. He�s a very sly little animal. He�s very cute to look at, and no one would ever want to hurt such a little animal. Yet, he�s also very destructive. He�s made a home up under my vinyl siding and is chewing away at the insulation of the house. I have set several traps for him, but he seems to be avoiding my traps. I know once I catch him, I can kill him. But I won�t be able to do anything to him until I can catch him in one of my traps.
In the same way, Satan comes to us as an angel of light. He is very appealing in his tactics. Often temptation comes to us in things that seem very desirable to us. We want to give in. But we know also that yielding to temptation will do great damage to us. If Satan can catch us in one of his traps, he would quickly destroy us. We need to be wise and avoid the snares of Satan. This morning we want to talk about a snare that Satan has used time after time to be the downfall of many strong Christian leaders.
Think with me about some of the great men of God: David, the man after God�s own heart. Solomon, the wisest man alive in his day. Samson, a great judge of Israel. Judah, the son of Isaac. Joseph, the man who could interpret dreams. All these men faced the snare of sexual sins.
Think in our own day, and the list goes on: Jim Baker, Jimmy Swaggart, author and teacher Gordon McDonald, Christian singer Michael English, I�m sure you could name many more. One of Satan�s greatest snares in our society today is the snare of sexual sins.
We need to realize we are in a battle in the sexual arena!
I. Understanding the real battleground.
When the Revolutionary war occurred, the British had a lot of troops here in the colonies. After the Boston Tea Party and the Declaration of Independence, there began to be several skirmishes between British troops and American militia forces. Now, the British found in a typical British way. The all had on their Bright red jackets, they all lined up in a row, and the all marched to a drummer as they went from place to place. Now the Americans dressed in coonskin caps and deer hide jackets, they hid behind trees, and came and went silently. The British were used to fighting �courteous� battles, they weren�t used to the bush fighting of the colonists.
We need to understand how the devil attacks us. Let�s realize that sexual temptation is not a problem of our flesh, but a battle for the mind. Men and women do not go out and have sexual relationships with others, leaving their spouses and families behind, just on the basis of physical pleasure. Sexual sins come about because Satan has already won the real battle, the battle of the mind.
This morning let�s realize that the real battle of sexual sins is a battle that takes place in our minds. In Deut. 5:21 we see in the 10 commandments, God tells us "You shall not covet your neighbor�s wife. You shall not set your desire on

My food prep begins with a trip to Costco where I purchase most of my protein, berries and veggies. I come home, let me kids run wild and begin my cooking frenzy. It takes me about an hour to create in the kitchen, because I have one speed with everything I do. Super Shannon Speed. 10 things going at once. My kids love my Food Prep day because I don't parent much during that hour. They have a blast destroying the house (Shh, don't tell my husband), and not hearing the usual, "Stop, No, or Please Behave". It's a win- win situation. I get to cook healthy foods that will help me reach my goals and my kids get to run wild in the house without me interfering.
I marinate my chicken in Balsamic Vinegar, Stone Ground Mustard, Worchestire Sauce, Salt, Pepper and any other seasonings I feel like using. After grilling the chicken, I weigh of 4 oz. using my food scale and baggie. All the little baggies, I put in one large freezer bag which I store in the freezer. This makes eating clean on the go or in a pinch very easy. On the stove are freshly baked Turkey Burgers which I will package and freeze as well. The bowl has a few dozen hard boiled eggs that are chilling in an ice bath. I find it's easier to peel eggs when they are very cold.
Meal preparation has made everyone I have helped extremely successful in reaching their goal. If you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail. I will not let you fail. Get cookin!
Every Sunday I map out my week ahead and stick it on the refrigerator. This way, I am reminded several times a day as I'm in the kitchen or grabbing food out of the fridge, what my daily lifting, cardio, appts and goals are that need to be accomplished. There is a space for each day where I get to CHECK off when I have accomplished my lifting and cardio session. There is nothing better than crossing a workout off your list of things to do. I do use my phone and computer to schedule my workouts, but I'm a very visual person who is motivated by my colorful weekly road maps to success. Give it a try, map out your week ahead.
Grab a paper plate and get movin!
Do circuit 2-3 times. Not sure how to perform an exercise, check out all EXERCISES in my library.

EUROPE and its struggles to rein in its debt problems took centre stage on the global markets yesterday, with the rand and local equities once again taking strain as investors shunned riskier assets in favour of US, UK and German bonds.
The rand, a bellwether for emerging markets, and in turn risk sentiment, had its biggest percentage decline against the dollar in more than a month, while stocks fell for a second day. There has "definitely been a sea-change in sentiment", Doug Blatch, head of equities at Investec Asset Management, said.
"We need some kind of resolution (to the European crisis) one way or other, even if it's negative."
The rand weakened for a third day against the dollar, experiencing its biggest percentage drop in more than a month against the resurgent greenback. In late afternoon, it was 2,2% weaker to R8,46/$, it s lowest since the end of last month.
Out of 25 emerging market currencies tracked against the dollar by Bloomberg, the rand was the second-worst performer.
"A few days ago we were expecting the rand to move stronger. But the situation has changed dramatically for the worse," Rand Merchant Bank said in a note.
Due to lower commodity prices, mining shares dragged the JSE all share index down for a second consecutive day, ending the session 1,1% lower to the worst level in a week.
"SA is caught in any risk-off environment," Mr Blatch said.
Investors looking to safeguard their wealth have looked towards the relative safety of the US and German bonds. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury reached an all-time low of 1,40%, while the two-year German yields also slumped to as low as minus 0,08%.
Concerns over European peripheral countries saw Spanish and Italian yields jump, pointing to distress in the system.
Greece's creditors meet this week amid doubts that it will be able to honour its bail-out commitments.
Weekend reports suggest Germany and other European leaders are sceptical that they will be able to rescue the country. The overriding fear with a Greek exit from the common monetary union is that it may encourage other distressed nations considering a similar move, threatening the 13-year-old euro project.
"If Greece is formally found to be unable to comply with the bail-out programme, a deal might involve an offer to Greece for an orderly exit," Christian Schulz, a senior economist at German private bank Berenberg, said.
Economic strife in Europe has led to slowdown in growth in emerging market economies such as SA, Brazil and China.
In its annual economic report, the Reserve Bank said SA's economic growth was too slow to reduce the jobless rate and the manufacturing industry is at risk as the European debt crisis cuts export demand. The average annual growth rate in the five quarters through to March this year was 3%.
A member of the People's Bank of China monetary policy committee said China's economic expansion may cool for a seventh quarter in a row to 7,4% in the three months to September. In the second quarter, growth in the world's second-biggest economy was 7,6%, the slowest since 2009.

If you have an app that lets you turn your Wii into an FTP server, yes. But most people will eject their SD card from the Wii, put it in a computer to update the boot.dol file, then put it back into the Wii.
where do I put the dol file? I just checked my sd card and I don't see usb cfg loader. do I plug in my usb hdd and update it there? thanks
In you SD/apps folder you should have a folder called USBLoader. Put it in there.Quote:

The case of a Mill Creek landlord who allegedly broke into his tenant's residence and removed her dog was bound over to Randolph County Circuit Court Tuesday.
At the advice of his attorney, William T. Nestor, 54-year-old Larry A. Paugh waived his right to a preliminary hearing in Randolph County Magistrate Court.
Paugh is charged with one felony count of burglary stemming from incidents that took place on June 8, when he allegedly followed through on threats to break into a female tenant's residence.
When the West Virginia State Police responded to a breaking-and-entering complaint from a residence located along Pond Street in Mill Creek, the female victim told Elliott, the investigating officer, that at 4 p.m. the same day, her landlord, Paugh, allegedly threatened to break into her residence.
She also said she'd vacated the residence at about 6:30 p.m. and returned at 10:45 p.m. to find her kitchen door "pushed in" and her dog missing, according to previous reports.
Trooper C.E. Elliott allegedly saw the victim's dog outside of Paugh's residence, and upon further investigation, noticed and photographed boot prints on the outside of the victim's door that he believed belonged to Paugh.
Paugh is free on bond.
Also in Magistrate Court Tuesday:
The incident allegedly took place in the doorway of Horton's apartment on Randolph Avenue. Simmons was life-flighted to Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown for treatment.

After another incredible day in this incredible World Cup yesterday, with the near departure of the hosts and favourites and frankly one of the most stunning goals you'll ever see, tonight our live coverage continues with Mexico taking on Holland at 5pm followed by Costa Rica v Greece in the last 16.
Let's hope for us much excitement as we have got most days in this tournament (not always easy when Greece are playing!) and as always get in touch using the comments below or tweeting us @Record_Sport.
A very warm welcome to our latest Record Sport live blog as this incredible World Cup continues to enthrall and impress. My lucky colleague Gregor was treated to an exciting match as hosts Brazil needed penalties to overcome plucky Chile, before witnessing James Rodriguez, the new breakout star of the tournament, score an extraordinary goal that has to been seen to be believed. But here's hoping that Holland and Mexico serve up a cracker before the enemies of free flowing football Greece face surprise package Costa Rica.
I have just discovered I'm up against Dolly Parton at Glastonbury. I don't get any luck. But ignore her, this is bigger, Mexico are not fancied here against the rampant Dutch, but against Australia RVP and co showed they have some pretty obvious weaknesses if you are brave enough to exploit them. Team news ASAP
And to whet your appetite, we have a cheeky poll for you. Was James Rodriguez's stunning volley the best of the World Cup so far? Vote here. (Poor Eduardo Vargas is on 0% for his brilliant team goal against Spain, someone vote for him)

Nearly time for kick off, but ITV squeeze in a quick break so Joe Hart can try and sell us stuff. Who do you fancy for this one? Maybe I'm trying to apply reverse psychology to a tournament, but I can see a cagey affair here. Let's hope I'm proved wrong and it's a goalfest!
Kick off! Mexico get us underway in the searing heat of Fortaleza
Miguel Layun looking to test Cillessen early by coming in off the left flank and curling a shot just wide. Early signal of intent from Mexico that they are going to try and exploit the pace in behind the Dutch wing backs. One of those aforementioned wing backs appears to be Dirk Kuyt, incidentally. Van Gaal perhaps reasoning that he can't possibly be as bad as defending as he is at attacking.
Clark Carlisle,co-commentating says that Mexico and Holland should have trained on the pitch as they couldn't get access to the stadium. Nope, me neither. 7 minutes gone now, and Holland starting to move it well from side to side but no cutting edge as of yet.
Holland forced into an early change. No nonsense midfielder Nigel De Jong is off, not limping so no indication of why he has come off. Bruno Martins Indi replaces him, going to the left wing back role meaning Daley Blind, so impressive in the opening two games for Holland, has to come inside to fill the holding midfield void left by De Jong.
Half chance for Mexico! Holland really have settled since the removal of the thuggish Nigel De Jong has left them more than a little light in midfield. Layun, the danger man so far, is again marauding down the left wing, and after he skips past two Dutch players, his teasing ball across the face of goal is just too fast for the onrushing Peralta.
More than a half chance for Mexico! Arjen Robben first wants a penalty for a handball, the referee waves him away and seconds later Mexico are causing havoc again. Peralta is found in the box by Aguilar, he can't get his shot away so he tees up Herrera who puts his sidefooted shot just inches wide. The CONCACAF side looking more likely at the minute.
Another Mexico chance, and they want a penalty. Cillessen is inexplicably miles out of his goal, and as Herrera stoops slightly to nod it towards goal, Ron Vlaar's foot is very high and it catches the dangerous Herrera square on the coupon. The referee waves away the Mexico protests. Far be it from me to agree with Clark Carlisle, but he says that would be a foul for high foot anywhere else on the pitch, and he's right.
This Mexico midfield is so fluid (yes, I'll stick a pound in the cliché jar) as it's Salcido this time who finds room to unleash a swerving shot that Cillessen does well to tip over the bar.
Finally Holland start to find their range. A long ball over the top looks as if it has too much on it but Van Persie sticks out a leg to control it, he's off balance though and his half volley goes wide. Ochoa in the Mexico goal gives his defenders a classic 'Guys, I've got this" look.
Well, this is new. With half an hour gone, the referee orders the players to the side of the pitch for a 3 minute cooling break, allowing the players to towel themselves off, and grab a drink of water.
Probably the best chance of the game falls to Giovanni Dos Santos, who works it well in a tight angle only for his shot to be well saved down to the left by Cillessen. You can tell the heat really is energy sapping.
Great defence there. Well Mexico have been slightly the better team, but you can't give the ball away like that, Van Persie picks up a slack pass and sprints through with Arjen Robben for a 2 on 2. He slips in Robben, but Marquez and Moreno double team to take it from Robben. And I've used that wrestling term deliberately because replays have shown that both Marquez and Moreno fouled Robben. Should have been a penalty.

Dan Runte has seen plenty of changes in the 22 years he's been behind the wheel of Bigfoot.
Those early incarnations of the monster truck weighed about 15,000 pounds. Bigfoot #18 weighs about 11,000 pounds. Instead of 7 to 8 inches of suspension travel on all four corners, today's monster trucks have 26 inches of travel in the front and nearly 30 inches in the rear.
Runte said drivers used to run courses and get "big air" while strapped onto a factory-issue bench seat.
Article Photos
Photos by Bigfoot 4 X 4 Inc.
LEFT:?Bigfoot #18, driven by Dan Runte, will be one of six monster trucks competing this weekend at the Covelli Centre for the Toughest Monster Truck Tour.
"Now the drivers all have custom seats built specifically for him, for his weight and his height," he said. "The motor used to be in the front. Now they put the motors in the rear for better balance, which enabled us to put the driver in the center of the truck and build a better roll cage."
All those innovations, in addition to making the drivers safer, make it possible for the trucks to go faster, jump farther and get more air when the Toughest Monster Truck Tour comes to the Covelli Centre for two shows this weekend.
Runte knows something about going faster and jumping farther. He is in the Guinness Book of World Records for "Longest ramp jump in a monster truck." He also holds the record for the fastest speed in a monster truck at 86.56 miles per hour.
Fact Box
WHAT: Toughest Monster Truck Tour
WHEN: 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday
WHERE: Covelli Centre, 229 E. Front St., Youngstown
HOW MUCH: Tickets range from $10-$27 in advance at $12-$29 day of show.
Perhaps even more impressive than his world records and 10 monster truck championships is that he's never suffered a significant injury in all of his years of competitions and exhibitions.
"I've never broke a bone, never been to the emergency room," Runte said.
He got his start working as a mechanic on the crew for a monster truck, and it was an injury to a driver that earned him his first chance behind the wheel.
"I was scared to death," he said. "It was just a little exhibition thing at a county fair. The other guy driving pulled some muscles, and the suspension wasn't what it is today, so I filled in. What worried me is the most experienced driver rolled his car over right before me. The guy I was working with kept saying, 'Do what he does, do what he does.' Then he rolled over and it was, 'No, don't do that'."
Bigfoot is one of six vehicles that will be part of Friday's and Saturday's events in Youngstown. Also on the show is Tailgator, Toxic, Equalizer, Red Solo Truck and the Youngstown debut of the brand new truck, Smashosaurus.
"The show's content, what they're doing, makes it the best indoor show they will ever see," Runte said. "The competition is very tough."
The vehicle will be featured in three events.
First up is the vertical wheelie as each driver compete to see who can get his monster truck the most-vertical. Then they will compete in side-by-side racing on the all-dirt track with different heats until the top two compete in the finals.
The last event is the freestyle.
"Each truck goes out separately and freestyles, do wheelies, big air, just show the crowd who's got the better piece of equipment," Runte said. "It's an exciting show."
And Runte boasted that no other truck gets more lift and "big air" than Bigfoot.
"It's starting to aggravate the other guys," he said.
And the 49-year-old driver has no plans to rest on his laurels.
"I'm not getting any younger, but I'd like to do another long jump," he said. "We're at 214.8 feet. With a couple of minor changes, I think we could go 240 feet. And we're at 86.7 miles per hour. I'd like to break the 100 miles per hour mark. Those are the two things I'd like to accomplish."

Why you should stop reading this and watch where you're walking
A couple weeks ago we looked at the diagnosis code for someone who falls onto subway tracks. Specifically it was the contest scenario of a man texting and walking off a subway platform.
And that would be:
"Y93.C2 Activity, hand held interactive electronic device"
And for all the claims of specificity in ICD-10-CM, that doesn't seem all that specific. That seems kind of vague. But let's celebrate that for now.
Because that means we can start collecting data on how many accidents happen when people are texting, calling, checking email or playing games with their phones or whatever the next great mobile device is.
Julia Palmer and Sue Belley do a pretty good job of explaining why we need to count accidents caused by distracted phone users. Basically we don't know if it's a problem unless we can count the cases. And then maybe use the data to find solutions.
It makes the medical coders' jobs sound like there's more than filling out medical claims.
One last thing. Here's a unique way to look at drug coding:
- Trek through the Table of Drugs in ICD-10-CM: A look at poisoning, overdosing and underdosing. (ICD-10 Trainer)
This is a weekly feature that I use to highlight practical tips on how to use and understand ICD-10-CM/PCS codes. Please let me know of any other sources that I can include.

That's your (unsolicited) opinion.
The OP didn't specify -- he asked for recommendations on a software
program for a specific task, and I gave mine. The fact that it doesn't
happen to run on *your* computer really doesn't enter into the equation
at all, does it?
This may come as a grand shock, but there is a more to the computing
world than Windows -- much more. That you choose to ignore the rest of
it doesn't diminish it. The fact that Windows is on the majority of
machines doesn't mean it's the best tool for every task, and this is
one of those cases.
> I know you Mac-heads just do this kind of thing to be cute -- whatever
> works for you.[/color]
I'm not out to convert anybody -- I have both a Windows PC and a Mac
sitting right next to each other on my desk. I use the best tool for a
given task. For this particular task, iDVD is a superb piece of
software with an interface more logical than anything I've seen on any
platform. That's why I recommended it for the OP. If he were asking
for a first-person shooter game, I'd recommend a couple of games that
don't even have Mac versions.
Why you chose to chime in and add nothing constructive is beyond me.
But hey -- whatever works for you.
Follow-ups set to advocacy groups, where this belongs.

on December 8, 2012 - 12:01 AM
, updated December 9, 2012 at 9:05 AM
The weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year's have a dynamic all their own. As we recall holidays past, our minds catch on vivid memories.
For some of us, that time includes remembering a diagnosis, illness or death of a loved one. The contrast between public festivities and friends' good wishes can push some people deep into their own sorrowful worlds. Even as the years go by, lessening the hurt, memories remain.
Approximately 3,400 people are diagnosed with cancer each day, meaning that each year, approximately 136,000 people, and their families, receive a diagnosis during the holiday season. They look out from hospital windows, to glimpse others in the holiday frenzy. In 2008, I became one of those family members.
Shortly before Halloween that year, my husband received his diagnosis. His outlook was my compass, as we juggled doctors' appointments, radiation treatments, work and updating friends and family about his condition.
Our vocabularies changed, and our fears escalated. We voiced, for different reasons, what many are asking at this time of year: "What will the future bring?"
Added to our questions: "Is this our last holiday season?" and "What more can we do?"
We struggled for answers while deciding what we could share with, or ask of, our friends. Being a friend of a dying person can mean, as it did for our friends, providing support while also celebrating the holidays.
During that holiday season, we realized that we weren't alone. Our room at Roswell Park was lighted up at night; I see the same lights now when driving by hospitals during these holiday weeks. I imagine family members sitting in those rooms, waiting for (and fearing) any news, while the decorations go up in the hallways.
It is so strange that facing serious illness during the holidays redefines time, as illness separates you from the events of the calendar.
Communication with people who are enfolded in illness, or grief, can be challenging. We found that the most helpful notes and emails were short messages, providing words of encouragement, along with a memory or two. For a little while, words offered an escape hatch.
My husband died during the holidays. Memorial notes within the obituary pages show how close in thought our family members remain. Still, we find ways to go on.
For some, maintaining traditions provides much-needed continuity. For others, seeking out new expressions of the season gives solace.
My favorite escape was transforming past traditions to meet current need. For me and others, this involves redirecting money and efforts, once put into holiday gifts to loved ones, toward local charities instead.
Sorrow can be displaced when the generosity of others is seen in the abundance of gifts under a charity's enormous tree. Stuffed animals, trucks, bicycles and games provide a glimpse into a delight separate from the ever-present absence.
Last year, the base of The Buffalo News Neediest Tree sheltered four perfectly dressed antique dolls, contributed by a Western New York woman who was ready to pass her collection to children in need. The choice she made brightened up the holiday of a child. While gently closing the door on the past as it was, she opened the door to a re-envisioned future.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
Feb. 17, 2014
Registration is now underway for nearly 100 undergraduate and graduate-level credit courses in all major academic areas during Saint Vincent College summer sessions beginning May 19. For the first time, course tuition for undergraduate courses during this summer will be reduced by 50 percent. "Saint Vincent College has traditionally offered a limited selection of undergraduate and graduate courses during the summer," commented Suzanne English, vice president for marketing and communications. "This summer we are reaching out to both our own students and those who attend other colleges and universities during the regular school year in a way that emphasizes Benedictine values and hospitality, welcoming them on campus and providing the academic quality for which Saint Vincent is known." For the summer of 2014, Saint Vincent is reducing its normal undergraduate tuition by 50 percent and is targeting its offerings to its own students' needs and incoming transfer students' needs through online surveys conducted earlier this year to determine interest and attitudes. Low cost fees for summer housing on campus in student residence halls will also be offered. Undergraduate courses are being offered in art, business administration, chemistry, economics, education, English, environmental science, history, mathematics, music, philosophy, physics, political science, psychology, sociology, Spanish and theology. Graduate courses are being offered in business, education and the health sciences. The schedule includes two six-week options and four three-week options. Some courses are scheduled consecutively so that students can enroll in both parts of two-semester courses, thus completing the equivalent of a year's study of a course in six to 12 weeks. There are also other courses with special scheduling. Among the summer's nearly 100 offerings are several popular undergraduate courses that will be offered again including Shakespeare on Film and Rock 'N' Roll Criticism (English Department) and Life and the Universe (Natural Sciences). New credit course offerings include Introduction to Public Health (Biology), The Death Penalty (Department of Criminology, Law and Society), Drawing, Painting and Photography in Italy (Department of Fine Arts), Confronting Death: Literature, Philosophy and Film (Department of Philosophy), Introduction to Visual Arts and Paint Like the Impressionists (Department of Fine Arts). Area students who attend other colleges and universities may enroll in Saint Vincent summer session courses. Credits earned at Saint Vincent may be transferred according to the policy of the student's school. Most Saint Vincent summer courses are also open to other persons without current academic affiliation. In addition to food service options available in the college dining hall, summer students will have access to Saint Vincent College's outstanding educational and recreational facilities including the Sis and Herman Dupré Science Pavilion, Latimer Library, Fred M. Rogers Center, computer laboratories, lounges, study center, fitness center, swimming pool, gymnasium, as well as the outdoor fitness trail and playing fields on campus and a host of recreational opportunities throughout the Laurel Highlands region. Area high school students may register for undergraduate summer session courses for which they feel capable and can fulfill prerequisite requirements. This opportunity is designed to give students the experience of taking a course on the college level to help ease the transition from high school to college. College credit is granted which may be applied toward a degree at Saint Vincent or at most other colleges and universities. A note of authorization from the student's guidance counselor is required for course registration. Students currently enrolled at Saint Vincent may register via the website for summer courses. Other students may register by mail (Office of the Registrar, Saint Vincent College, 300 Fraser Purchase Road, Latrobe, PA 15650-2690), by FAX (724 805-2063), or in person (Office of the Registrar, first floor, Alfred Hall, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily). A complete summer sessions schedule and registration form are available online at www.stvincent.edu/academics/summer For information, contact 724 805-2720 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
