Brighton Caravan Holiday Park Breaks
Stay at a caravan park near Brighton for a holiday wow factor – Brighton has been voted as one of the top ten city beach break destinations in the world and it's not hard to find out why!
In the summer, the city is simply awash with visitors enjoying the beautiful weather with an ice cream, all against the backdrop of the beach and the famous Brighton Pier.
Victorian pier, pebble beach
Brighton's Victorian Pier is filled with amusements, fairground attractions, an arcade and several bars and restaurants, including the traditional Palm Court fish and chip restaurant. The pier is great for the kids, with a variety of children's rides and the Turbo Coaster and Twister, designed for thrill seeking adults. Brighton Pier is a particularly magical place at night when it is illuminated.
Brighton's pebble beach has Blue Flag status to mark its quality and cleanliness, and becomes especially busy and bustling during the summer. The seafront is home to cool cafes and funky bars and there are lots of beach and water sports or sailing activities to try out. When the sun sets the bars and clubs come alive with some of the best club nights in the country.
This city isn't all about its beach and cool clubs though, there's plenty more to keep you entertained.
Ocean depths, dive into the past
The ideal place for a journey to the depths of the ocean is Sea Life, where you can venture from interactive rock pools and shark and turtle viewings to the new Jellyfish Discovery exhibition. The kids are guaranteed to love seeing over 150 species of animals and taking part in a range of activities.
For a journey in to the past, The Royal Pavilion is simply a must visit attraction. Once a palace of George IV, it was transformed into a stunning exotic building in 1815. It is now the home of works of art and beautiful gardens fit for a king. You can even dine in The Royal Pavilion tearoom and look over the balcony at the stunning garden views. Another brilliant historical attraction in the area is Preston Manor, where you can relive the atmosphere of an Edwardian Manor House.
If you're interested in really seeing the whole of Brighton, then rather than taking an open top bus around the more popular areas you could instead embark on a Brighton City Walk, a 90 minute guided walk all around the old town of Brighton, where you can learn all about the historic areas of the city.

RBS bonus sacrifice may have unintended victims
The row over bank bonuses has continued relentlessly in the UK for five years, starting with the 2008 bonus round in the initial aftermath of the credit crunch. But the successful campaign to force Royal Bank of Scotland boss Stephen Hester to give up the £1m share award to which he was contractually entitled takes the row to a new level. A Rubicon may have been crossed: This move may have real world consequences.
The first consequence is likely to be felt at the bank itself. Hester is unlikely to storm off in protest, at least not just yet. But the treatment of Hester - the man brought in to rescue RBS appeared in danger of becoming almost as vilified as his predecessor, Sir Fred Goodwin - confirms that RBS is now a political football. The bonus row follows Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne's decision in December to claim credit for the closure of parts of RBS's investment banking division. Any impression that the government is now calling the shots is sure to make it harder to retain and recruit high quality staff. To the extent that hits performance, it will also hit the value of the bank.
The second consequence is likely to be felt in the wider economy. The bonus row sends a clear signal to the bosses of all the UK banks that they should avoid any entanglement with the British state at all costs, including relying on UK authorities for liquidity as well as capital. This comes at a time when the economic costs of rapid financial-sector deleveraging are only just being fully appreciated.
In recent months, the Treasury has become sufficiently alarmed at the impact on growth that it has launched programmes to underwrite the risk of some mortgage lending and lending to small and medium-size enterprises. Last week, it also published a memorandum of understanding with the Bank of England that would allow it to direct the BOE to supply emergency liquidity to banks. Some UK bankers believe the BOE's refusal to provide European Central Bank-style liquidity support lies behind the UK's recent economic underperformance. Yet the bonus row will only encourage banks to run themselves even more conservatively, hoarding liquidity and capital. That could further undermine growth at a time when the government wants banks to lend.
Finally, the episode may fuel doubts over London's future as a financial centre. Among international bankers at Davos last week, there was widespread concern that the UK is becoming an unpredictable and hostile environment to do business. That doesn't mean banks that have invested heavily in London are about to leave, but it does mean the City may struggle to capture its share of new investment. After all, a financial centre that is uncomfortable with people making money isn't much of a financial centre at all.

Energy Future Holdings Comes Under Fire From One of Its Creditors
The feeding frenzy to reclaim cash from one of private equity's biggest bets- the $45 billion buyout of the Texas utility once known as TXU Corp. – has begun.
As Energy Future Holdings, the holding company set up by investors Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co Goldman Sachs Group GS Capital Partners, and TPG Capital for TXU's assets, struggles under its debt load, creditor Aurelius Capital has fired a new shot against the utility and its investors.
The New York hedge fund is suing the company, and its executives and directors, for $725 million in unpaid interest.
Among the defendants named in the lawsuit are KKR's former mezzanine fund manager Frederick Goltz; Goldman Managing Director Scott Lebovitz; TPG Partner Michael MacDougall and KKR Partner Jonathan Smidt.
Goldman Sachs didn't respond to a request for comment. TPG and KKR referred requests to Energy Future Holdings, which also declined to comment.
At the heart of the case are loans that a business unit of Energy Future Holdings called Texas Competitive Electric Holdings Co. made to its parent after reaching a $24.5 billion credit deal to finance the TXU buyout.
In court documents, Aurelius claimed the loans were made after it became a creditor to Energy Future Holdings. The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court in Dallas, accused the directors of breaching their fiduciary duty by causing Energy Future Holdings to take out "unduly generous" loans of "billions of dollars" from one of its subsidiaries to finance the buyout.
In papers filed with the court, Aurelius claimed the $24.5 billion loan deal left the lending unit insolvent, which the fund said directors and officers enabled by their failure to act.
This isn't the first time Aurelius has gone to the courtroom to sue Energy Future Holdings. In February 2011 the firm alleged that Texas Competitive Electric Holdings was in technical default on $23.9 billion of loans.
Energy Future Holdings and its subsidiaries are currently carrying more than $40 billion in debt, and recently hired restructuring lawyers at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, to try and address its balance sheet issues.
The Dallas company faces billions of dollars in interest payments on debt in the next two years, and nearly $4 billion in debt coming due in October 2014, the Wall Street Journal reported earlier this year.
As the end of September, the power producer had a debt load 10 times the size of its annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
The company also has hired bankers associated with Blackstone Group to advise them on the restructuring.

Motorola Solutions to Acquire U.K. Mobile-Device Producer Psion
Motorola Solutions Inc., a U.S. maker of walkie-talkies and radio-tracking chips, agreed to buy Psion Plc for 123.9 million pounds ($193 million) to expand in heavy-duty mobile computing devices.
Motorola Solutions is making an all-cash offer of 88 pence a share, or 45 percent more than Psion's closing price yesterday, the Schaumburg, Illinois-based manufacturer said today in a statement. The takeover will help earnings in the first year after completion, Motorola Solutions said.
The U.S. company, which took over management this year of Norway's emergency-communications network, makes the ET1 tablet for corporate customers. London-based Psion's product line includes the EP10 low-cost personal organizer and Omnii portable devices for logistics management. The U.K. company said its board unanimously recommends shareholders accept the offer.
Psion jumped as much as 48 percent to 89.75 pence, the biggest intraday gain since 1998, and was trading 45 percent higher at 87.75 pence as of 3:25 p.m. in London. Motorola Solutions gained as much as 1.5 percent to $48.08 and was up 1.2 percent in New York Stock Exchange composite trading.

Back on Course After 'Safe, Quick, Effective' Robotic Urological Surgery at Memorial
William was always very healthy. He was rarely ill and never went to a doctor. In fact, he didn't even have one.
Then one day last year, William, 45, started feeling some pressure and pain in his abdomen, and soon his back began to hurt.
As a former healthcare professional, William suspected that something was wrong with his kidney. A CAT scan revealed swelling in his pelvic region. His ureter was narrowed at its junction with the kidney, and he had an infection there.
William was told he had a congenital UPJ – a ureteropelvic junction obstruction. Although the narrowed area was no bigger than a centimeter, it had to be removed, and the organ stitched back together. William turned to Dr. Antonio Reyes, a urological surgeon on the medical staff at Memorial Hospital Pembroke, where the Robotic Institute of South Florida has the four-arm da Vinci® Surgical System robotic technology.
Robotics: Tailor-made for Delicate Surgery
The good news for William: His procedure could be performed with less pain, less scarring and a faster recovery using minimally invasive robotic surgery.
In this type of surgery, robotic instruments are inserted into the patient through small openings in the skin. Viewing the surgical site on a 3-D, high-definition screen, the surgeon performs the operation by controlling the instruments, which respond precisely to the doctor's commands.
"There's a lot of utility for robotics in urology, because the area is so delicate," Dr. Reyes says. "In fact, robotic surgery was first approved by the FDA specifically for use in urology." In addition to urologic surgery, gynecological, thoracic and other surgical procedures are also performed using robotic technology at the Robotic Institute of South Florida.
Four to six weeks prior to his surgery, William had to have a stent inserted. The stent was needed to open up the narrowed area of the ureter and relieve the resulting pressure.
"When Dr. Reyes mentioned the stent, I cringed, but it was really the only uncomfortable thing," William says. "The surgery itself was very mild. Without robotics, I would have been slit in the back, with a V-shaped incision 6 to 8 inches long."
Instead, as the patient lay on his left side, Dr. Reyes maneuvered the instruments inside him – "like a pilot with joysticks," William says. The operation took between four and five hours.
"When I woke up in the hospital, I was sore from lying on my side for that long," William says. "But the four incisions themselves were really not very painful. I went home the next morning. And I healed in four to six days instead of four to six weeks."
Advanced Technology, Compassionate Care
William didn't just benefit from the latest in robotic surgical technology. From Dr. Reyes to the OR nurses to the nurses who cared for him afterwards, the team at Memorial Hospital Pembroke was constantly by his side, answering any questions he had. "They were so wonderful to me throughout the entire experience," he says. "My blood pressure never shot up at all."
Dr. Reyes himself briefed William's parents, who had come to Florida from South Carolina for the surgery. "My mom was nervous at first," William says. "But once I got out of surgery, she was fine. Having all the information you need helps you through whatever procedure you're having. Dr. Reyes and the caring staff at Memorial sure helped me and my family through."
A Revolutionary Form of Surgery
After the stent was removed, an ultrasound showed that William's kidney was not permanently damaged. Now recovered, he's kept a resolution to take up golf again. He spends every Monday and Friday on the course.
"Robotics is definitely the way of the future, especially for delicate procedures like mine," he says. "I would recommend this type of surgery to anyone facing my situation. I'd say, don't fear it. At Memorial, my experience was safe and effective, and my recovery was quick."

GW Men's Water Polo Splits on Final Day of Gary Troyer Memorial Tournament
Colonials Defeat Fresno Pacific, Fall to Claremont-Mudd-Scripps
Oct. 5, 2013
CLAREMONT, Calif. - The George Washington men's water polo team split a pair of games on the final day of the Gary Troyer Memorial Tournament on Saturday at Pomona-Pitzer's Haldeman Pool. The Colonials defeated Fresno Pacific, 14-12, before falling to Division III No. 4 Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, 13-2, to conclude their Southern California trip.
Fresno Pacific led, 3-1, halfway through the first quarter before three straight GW goals to end the period gave the Colonials a 4-3 lead after one. The Sunbirds tied it early in the second, but back-to-back goals by junior Ridvan Pehlivan in the final minute of the quarter gave GW an 8-6 halftime lead.
Fresno Pacific (6-9) rallied back with two goals in the first minute of the third period to tie the game at 8-8, but Pehlivan gave GW (10-6) the lead for good with 5:54 left in the quarter, and consecutive goals by Pehlivan and sophomore Jonah Dowd in the final minute of the period put the Colonials up 13-10 after three. Pehlivan's seventh goal of the game early in the fourth quarter gave GW a four-goal lead before the Sunbirds tallied the final two markers for the 14-12 final score.
Pehlivan's seven goals were a career high, while senior Daniel Tyner also notched a hat trick and sophomore goalie Connor Dillon recorded seven saves.
In the second game of the day, Claremont-Mudd-Scripps (6-8) scored the first three goals and never looked back, holding GW scoreless for more than 24 minutes to end the game. The Colonials, who were again without injured starters Nate Little and Brian Mojica, scored both of their goals in the first quarter and trailed just 4-2 after one, but the Stags scored three in the second to take a 7-2 lead at halftime, then added six more in the second half for the 13-2 final.
Sophomore Bogdan Petkovic and senior Adam Streeter accounted for GW's two goals, as the Colonials made just 2-of-29 shots in the game. Dillon made 10 saves in three quarters of action, while freshman Sander Profaci stopped one shot in the final period.
The Colonials return to action next Saturday when they visit Southern Division rival Bucknell in a rematch of the Sept. 21 contest at the Smith Center in which GW defeated the Bison, 15-14.
GW 14, Fresno Pacific 12
GW Goals: Pehlivan 7, Tyner 3, Dowd 2, Streeter 1, Petkovic 1
Claremont-Mudd-Scripps 13, GW 2
GW Goals: Petkovic 1, Streeter 1

In a study that included nearly 30,000 women from Nordic countries who had filled a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor prescription during pregnancy, researchers found no significant association between use of these medications and risk of stillbirth, neonatal death or postneonatal death, after accounting for factors including maternal psychiatric disease.
"Depression during pregnancy is common, with prevalences ranging between 7% and 19% in economically developed countries," researchers wrote in background information for the study, which appears in the Jan. 2 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. "Maternal depression is associated with poorer pregnancy outcomes, including increased risk of preterm delivery, which in turn may cause neonatal morbidity and mortality.
"Use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors during pregnancy has been associated with congenital anomalies, neonatal withdrawal syndrome and persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn. However, the risk of stillbirth and infant mortality when accounting for previous maternal psychiatric disease remains unknown."
Olof Stephansson, MD, PhD, of the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, and colleagues conducted a study to examine whether SSRI exposure during pregnancy was associated with increased risks of stillbirth, neonatal death and postneonatal death. The study included women with single births from all Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden) at different periods from 1996 through 2007.
The researchers obtained information on maternal use of SSRIs from prescription registries, while maternal characteristics, pregnancy and neonatal outcomes were obtained from patient and medical birth registries. The authors estimated relative risks of stillbirth, neonatal death and postneonatal death associated with SSRI use during pregnancy after accounting for maternal characteristics and previous psychiatric hospitalization.
Among 1,633,877 singleton births in the study, there were 6,054 stillbirths, 3,609 neonatal deaths and 1,578 postneonatal deaths. A total of 29,228 (1.79%) of mothers had filled a prescription for an SSRI during pregnancy.
The researchers found that women exposed to an SSRI had higher rates of stillbirth (4.62 vs. 3.69 per 1,000) and postneonatal death (1.38 vs. 0.96 per 1,000) than those who did not. The rate of neonatal death was similar between groups (2.54 vs. 2.21 per 1,000). "Yet in multivariate models, SSRI was not associated with stillbirth, neonatal death or postneonatal death," the authors wrote, noting the increased rates "were explained by the severity of the underlying maternal psychiatric disease and unfavorable distribution of maternal characteristics such as cigarette smoking and advanced maternal age."
"However, decisions regarding use of SSRIs during pregnancy must take into account other perinatal outcomes and the risks associated with maternal mental illness," the researchers concluded.
The study abstract is available at http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=1555130.

Members of the East Liverpool City Hospital Auxiliary most likely don't care if praise is heaped their way. After all, they are volunteers, and the majority of those who volunteer do so out of the kindness of their heart.
But we would be remiss if we did not recognize the work these volunteers accomplish daily for our community.
The organizations has been with us, in some fashion, since 1934, helping and comforting patients and visitors to the downtown health care facility.
In addition, throughout the auxiliary's 80-year existence, its members, via fundraising, have donated millions of dollars to the hospital to be used toward renovations, remodeling projects and purchasing medical equipment.
Many things they do daily also may go unnoticed.
The City Hospital's gift shop and snack bar is staffed by auxiliary members. The receptionists at the front desk are auxiliary volunteers.
But these volunteers also are active with patients and their families. They serve as liaisons between hospital staff and relatives of surgical patients, as well as assist patients in the cardiology, wound care and MRI sections.
The auxiliary maintains the vending machines, replenishes the magazines in the waiting areas, and provide Lifeline emergency alert systems to those elderly who live at home.
There are 120 volunteers, including some men, on the current auxiliary roster, and the hours served the hospital have reached as high as 9,800 in one calendar year. We can't thank them enough for what it is they do.
The organization's largest fundraiser - Mad Hatters Tea Party & Luncheon - is Saturday at the East Liverpool Motor Lodge. We urge you to attend, and help raise funds for this vitally important part of the community.
Support the ELCH Auxiliary!

10-4! Over and out!
Oops, something didn't work.
They mentioned this at pdc i think. It was something to do with the syntax being more similar to the web.config which i have to agree with since xslt can be quite messy.
Keep in mind that there are quite a few capabilities in IIS7 to help with this as well. IIS7 has a shared configuration capability that allows you to share configuration across a web farm, including local overrides for specific server settings. You can push
your application settings up to the shared config file and take advantage of that feature.
You can also customize your MSDeploy manifests to transform settings outside of what Visual Studio is doing.
Really helpful feature. Thanks for adding this in.
I was wondering if the onclick deployment feature can be extended with custom steps to meet policy requirements in an Enterprise. For example I cannot do a direct deploy to CONS/DAY1/PROD my self from my box, I cannot even connect to it. If it is possible for me to publish the PROD builds to a local directory then run some custom step which can zip it, check it into a predefined VSS, label it and send a notfication to environment engineers that would be super cool ... may be its too much to ask for, but just my wishlist!
Yes MSDeploy Publish feature will be accessible via MSBuild as well so setting up CI with it will be possibly...
Glad to know that you like the new UI... That was our goal as well... There are tiny yeh!! and nah!! all over the place but trust me the usability team over here spent a tons of time in looking into usability in great detail to come up with all the new models...
About app.config, we have heard that request and if you can send me an email @ email@example.com on this then I will try to follow up with appropriate people to see if we can consider doing it... Essentially more the votes the easier it is to push up the priority...
<?xml version="1.0" ?>

You are correct. The syntax that matches the web.config format is a lot easier for people to understand who aren't familiar with XSLT.

Two months after revealing her new, 100 lbs.-lighter figure, Kirstie Alley is looking svelte and fabulous as ever, despite the pitfalls that come after losing weight.
"Maintenance probably is the hardest part," Alley, 60, told PEOPLE at last night's Dancing with the Stars. Her solution? Dancing.
"I dance almost every day," says Alley, adding that her own run on the show "gave me something that I can do every day that I actually love that doesn't feel like a hardship or a grind. Come on, getting on a treadmill every day would make me slit my throat."
And she's got her former dancing partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy to thank for keeping her exercise tedium at bay.
"To warm up, I do the cha cha that Maks and I did," she says, adding that her current dance teacher does ballroom fitness with her, which "kicks your ass, it's crazy."
To supplement her dancing, Alley uses a weight loss product called Rescue Me that she also promotes. Thanks to it, she says, "I probably have more energy than I've ever had in my life."

Jersey Premier Soccer & Swedesboro-Woolwich SA Partner To Offer Players A Brighter Soccer Future
Jersey Premier Soccer is delighted to announce a strategic partnership with Swedesboro-Woolwich Soccer Association (SWSA) to enhance the development of players at all levels throughout the club. The Swedesboro-Woolich SA / JPS collaboration will provide players and teams the opportunity to develop further as well as the higher level teams being able to compete with some of the best clubs in the area. Swedesboro-Woolwich is an established club, and by adding the JPS philosophies, the future certainly seems bright for all involved.
"This partnership is great for both parties involved. The young players of Swedesboro-Woolwich SA will be receiving coaching from some of the brightest and innovative coaches in the area and JPS continue to work with new clubs and keep pushing to the next level" said Neil Holloway, JPS General Manager.
SWSA are a well respected and forward thinking soccer club who work with kids from 4 years old to all the travel team age groups. SWSA has been commended on its work with disabled players through their TopSoccer program. This programs idea is to create situations where every athlete has the opportunity to shine. The SWSA philosophy of player development fits in well with JPS and it will be a smooth transition as the JPS coaches begin working with the players. JPS and SWSA want players to improve in an enjoyable setting that looks at long-term development rather than just preparing to win the next game.
Swedesboro-Woolwich Soccer Assocation is proud to be a part of US Youth Soccer's TOPSoccer (The Outreach Program for Soccer) and offer its own program. The goal of the program is to foster the physical, mental, and emotional growth of these young athletes through the sport of soccer. Through our trained and supportive volunteers, every athlete will be instilled with self-confidence and self-pride throughout the course of our program. Soccer is an excellent medium for exercise, improving coordination, and meeting other children who face the same challenges. Most importantly, it is a great way to have fun.
TOPSoccer is available to young athletes between the ages of 4 to 18 years old with a range of mental or physical challenges, including blind or visually impaired, autism, Down syndrome, mental retardation, cerebral palsy, and all others. All athletes will be placed into groups based on ability, not age and all activities will be designed based on the abilities of the athletes. The idea is to create situations where every athlete has the opportunity to shine.
The safety of the athletes is very important to us. To assist in every athlete's safety, shin guards under socks must be worn at all times without exception. And in the event of an emergency, parents or guardians must remain at every event for the entire duration.
Location and Date
SWSA TOPSoccer program will be played on Sunday evening between 5:00-6:00 at the Walter Hill School soccer fields in Swedesboro. The program dates are 5/19, 6/2, 6/9, 6/16, 6/23, 6/30. Each athlete will receive a soccer ball, t-shirt, and a participation trophy. The cost to play is $35. Checks can be made out to SWSA. Checks can be brought to the first practice or mailed with registration form.
If you would like to sign up an athlete, please register online at www.swsasoccer.org and fill out the following forms found below (just click on form). All athletes that played in fall do not need to fill these forms out.
1. Registration form
2. Medical release form
3. Code of conduct form
4. All athletes with Down's Syndrome must have the PrePhysical Form signed and cleared from a physician to participate
5. All athletes must have a physical or Medical clearance from their Doctors to participate
Checks for $35 can be made out to "SWSA"

LIBERTY - Gretchen Reed has a heartfelt and longtime connection to her community.
Reed, 77, has lived in Liberty all her life.
Her home on Keefer Road lies on what used to be her grandfather's farm, and she grew up on the land, where generations of her family have lived.

Community Star Gretchen Reed looks over some mementos at her Keefer Road home.
ABOVE:?Community Star Gretchen Reed displays a clock she received from the Liberty Historical Society in 2008 after being named Woman of the Year.
After graduating from Liberty School, Reed has attended the same church since childhood.
Her daughters were raised here, and both settled down close to home.
"We loved it here and we just never thought to leave it," said Reed.
Fact Box
Name: Gretchen Keefer Reed
Age: 77
Community of residence: Liberty
Years living here: 77 years in Liberty, 56 years at current residence on Keefer Road
Volunteer organizations / activities: Church Hill United Methodist Church teacher, leader, choir member, historian, liturgist; Stephen Minister / Leader through her church; Grief Share Assisting Peace Advocate through her church; Liberty Historical Society; Beta Chi of Delta Kappa Gamma; Sunrise Chapter 458 Eastern Star; lifetime member of NEA, OEA, NEA-R, OEA-R; Ohio Retired Teachers Association; Trumbull Retired Teachers Association; Jennings Scholar 1984-1985; tutor for E.J. Blott School; Trumbull Area Reading Council; Phi Delta Kappa; Relay for Life Liberty; Phi Mu Sorority; Akron Alumnae Kappa Phi Club.
With so many years spent in one place, Reed has a deep devotion to the Liberty area.
And her devotion is evident through the amount of time and energy she spends giving back.
Reed is a retired teacher and founder of the Blott Holiday Project, an organization that provides toys, clothing and books to needy children at Christmastime.
Reed started the program 25 years ago while working playground duty as a third-grade teacher at E.J. Blott school.
She noticed many of the students didn't have hats, gloves or boots to wear outside.
"They told me their mom and dad are going to get it when they have money," Reed said.
Her first year, Reed helped just 12 students. Since then, the program has grown, helping 90 students from 40 families in 2010.
"As the numbers of children and families have grown, Gretchen never backed off. She kept right on doing it," said Gloria Lang, a member of the Blott Holiday Project committee who has known Reed for more than 30 years.
At first, Reed acquired just a few items, handing them out to the children on the playground herself.
Eventually, members of her adult Sunday school class at Church Hill United Methodist Church became involved, collecting names of area children in need.
Each member chose a name and shopped for gifts, and then Reed and her husband delivered the gifts to the children's homes.
Now, children's names are placed on trees at area businesses, and the public does the shopping. The Sunday school class and other volunteers do the wrapping. And families come to the administration building to pick up their gifts.
It is an effort that involves weeks of work, and members of Reed's committee admire the passion she puts into it.
"This Blott program is just her most precious baby, and she puts her whole heart into it every year," said Fran Petitt, a member of the committee who has known Reed since she was a child.
In fact, Reed has put her whole heart into many things throughout her life, including her fight against cancer.
Reed was diagnosed with colon cancer in 1995, just four years before her daughter, Beth Stambaugh, was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Reed underwent chemotherapy treatments and was cancer-free by 1996. Her daughter was not as fortunante. She died in 2001.
"It definitely made my faith stronger. It made me stronger. It made me more grateful for every day," Reed said.
During the time of their diagnoses, Reed and her daughter began participating in the Liberty Relay for Life.
Together they created the Beth Baughman Hope Team, and Reed has been working with that team ever since.
"I'll keep doing it as long as I can keep walking," Reed said.
Reed also put her whole heart into teaching, and says her passion was teaching children to read.
Although no longer teaching, Reed continues to give the gift of reading by making sure each child in the Blott Holiday program receives as least one book.
"If you can read, I think you can do anything," Reed said.
Reed has been recognized for her contributions to education, being named a Jennings Scholar and a member of the professional honorary society of women educators, Delta Kappa Gamma.
Reed remains humbled by her achievements and recognitions, including her status as a Community Star, for which she was nominated by five members of the committee.
"I'm very appreciate of it. That those five people thought I deserve it makes me treasure it so much more," Reed said.

While brands used to keep those million-dollar ads under wraps until game day, nowadays it's all about building buzz with hilarious sneak peeks. So we took on the tough task of researching this year's best bits, and here's what we know to look out for between plays on Sunday so far:
Ryan Reynolds in RyanvilleHyundai's first-ever Super Bowl ad features the former Sexiest Man Alive – make that, many of the former Sexist Man Alive – in a town whose residents are all Ryan Reynolds (when can we move in?). Keep an eye out for a second spot starring Kevin Hart, too.
Alec Baldwin and Dan Marino for AmazonFilm meets football as the two guys have a party-planning brainstorm aided by the Amazon Echo.
Drake for T-MobileThe rapper makes fun of his own viral dance moves (you know the ones) in an ad touting the simplicity of T-Mobile's data plans.
Amy Schumer and Seth Rogen Start the #BudLightPartyNow here's a political stance we can get behind! The comedians hit the campaign trail – on behalf of Bud Light – in their hilarious spot. "Just wait 'til you see our caucus," Schumer teases voters. In conjunction, the brand is airing its first-ever Spanish-language commercial, starring Gracepoint's Michael Peña.
Budweiser Uses Helen Mirren to School Drunk DriversBud Light's parent brand takes a slightly different approach to the whole alcohol advertising thing, actually using Mirren in a one-minute PSA about the dangers and stupidity of driving drunk. We'll happily raise a glass (of water) to that.
Billy Eichner and Terrell Owens for ButterfingerWe actually haven't seen any previews of the candy ad that'll feature the comedian and former footballer, but based on this Billy on the Street clip promoting the commercial, we have high hopes.
The Ghostbusters TrailerWe're gonna call someone if it turns out that rumors about the first trailer for the film – which stars Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon and Chris Hemsworth – dropping during the Super Bowl are false.
Columbia Pictures
Christopher Walken Goes Weird for KiaNo surprise here: Walken is wonderfully whimsical in a Kia ad that starts off as a deep talk about how socks define our personalities. Just watch.
Janelle Monáe for PepsiShe's staying tight-lipped on the topic – other than telling PEOPLE that her ad will feature her transforming into artists from "the '60s to the '80s [to] the present" – but the singer admits it's pretty cool to be following in the footsteps of former Pepsi Super Bowl spokespeople Beyoncé, Britney Spears and Michael Jackson.

• We evaluated the wide variation in the reported incidence of fractured clavicles (0.2% to 3.5%) in newborns by screening 626 consecutive infants delivered vaginally for fractures. One of us (P.R.J.) evaluated all infants, twice during the initial hospital stay and 2 weeks later. Eighteen fractured clavicles were identified for a frequency of 2.9% (18/626). One fracture was discovered on the first hospital examination, 10 on discharge, and 7 at follow-up. Only 2 patients had symptoms usually associated with fractured clavicles. The most reliable clinical sign for inhospital diagnosis was difficulty in feeling the margins of the affected clavicle when compared with the normal clavicle. The mean birth weight of the infants was 3604 g (range, 3000 to 4930 g), and no obstetric complications occurred. The reported frequency of fractures diagnosed clinically during hospitalization significantly underestimates their occurrence. Most newborn infants with fractures have no symptoms and minimal physical findings during the first days of life, making repeated examination necessary.

Let Me Tell You Somethingby Caroline Manzo Kevin Dickson
Red-hot advice from the redhead who doesn't pull any punches Mother, wife, and fan favorite Caroline Manzo has been through it all as one of the original breakout stars of Bravo's The Real Housewives of New Jersey. The explosive and addicting reality series has seen some of the craziest moments in Real Housewives history, but Caroline has managed to set herself apart as the levelheaded, fiercely loyal, and down-to-earth member of the cast. Now for the first time, Caroline, who is known for her no-nonsense advice, "tells you something" about what it really takes to juggle three kids and a husband (and still maintain your sanity), all while living in the spotlight. Her wisdom on family, life, and love, and her shockingly honest confessions about beauty, body image, and even plastic surgery, resonate with women of every generation. Equal parts funny, sincere, and revealing, Caroline exposes the sweeter, more reflective side of herself that fans of the show might not always see. Filled with personal stories, family photos, and Caroline's characteristic humor, Let Me Tell You Something gives fans and readers an all-access, behind-the-scenes pass into the lives of this real New Jersey housewife and her family, where honest advice and practical life lessons are served up as only Caroline can. With her contagious, positive attitude and tips for success sprinkled throughout the book, readers will fall in love with their favor- ite housewife all over again.

Population and Community Dynamics
Trophic Interactions (consumer-resource dynamics)
Quantitative Methods; statistical and mathematical modeling
*** SUSTAIN - Sustainable management of renewable resources in a changing environment:an integrated approach across ecosystems
Overall objective: Develop a framework for sustainable ecosystem based management of harvested ecosystems under a changing environment, promoting ecosystem resilience to climatic changes as well as other stressors and their interactions.Secondary goals: i) develop foodweb models incorporating demographic structure to improve understanding of ecosystem resilience and develop better demographic harvest strategies, ii) develop improved multispecies harvesting models including environmental stochasticity, iii) increase our knowledge of ecosystem resilience to develop better harvesting strategies in spatially and seasonally structured environments, iv) investigate how climate change in combination with harvesting affects foodweb interactions and ecosystem functions, and v) implement the knowledge in a strategic foresight protocol, in close collaboration with user panels of managers.
*** EcoFinn / Ecosystem Finnmark (Project homepage):
General framework: Applying food web theory to unravel management impacts on ecosystems
The functioning of ecosystems is ruled by trophic dynamics of food webs. Research on food web dynamics has two major conceptual frames: Trophic cascades and spatial subsidies (1). Trophic cascades consist of internal, top-down or bottom-up forcing by which predators or herbivores indirectly affect the abundance, diversity and functioning of species through chain-effects in the food web (2). The strength of trophic cascades becomes often accentuated when the forcing factors are removed or released due to anthropogenic actions. Spatial subsidies, on the other hand, represent influences on food webs in terms of external energy and nutrient inputs (3). Such subsidies may be due to a natural spatial coupling between adjacent food webs (i.e. marine and terrestrial) or they may be anthropogenically provided (i.e. changed land use). Spatial subsidies may have major impacts on ecosystem functioning, for instance, by paving the way for emergent trophic cascades.
The strength of trophic cascades in terrestrial ecosystems is variable (2,4). It is, however, evident that mismanagement of large ungulates can cause destructive trophic cascades in terms of loss of biodiversity and ecosystem functions (5). Ecologically, the problem is induced by ungulate overabundance (sensu Côté et al. [5]), a situation typically emerging from either extinction of apex predators, lack of harvesting and altered land use.
Specific framework: Trophic cascades and spatial subsidies due to reindeer overabundance
Semi-domestic reindeer is the most abundant ungulate in North Norway. In Finnmark the present number of »170,000 reindeer conforms to the definition of ungulate overabundance in terms of strongly density-dependent production, increased vulnerability to climate variation and predation (6).
Nationally, mainly two issues connected to the problem of reindeer overabundance in Finnmark has been highlighted and subjected to recent research. One issue concerns the internal problems within the reindeer husbandry connected to low meat production, collapsing herds due to starvation and claimed losses to predators. Our own research has identified low harvesting rates as a major proximate driver of these internal problems (Fauchald et al. 2004, Tveraa et al. 2007). In an ongoing interdisciplinary research initiative to be concluded in 2008/2009 we are exploring the ultimate drivers of the overabundance/underharvesting problem within the realm governmental management regime and socio-economical factors (Hausner, Jernsletten et al. in progress). The other nationally highlighted issue, which is tightly intertwined with the first, is pasture degradation. In particular, much research devoted to the state of reindeer winter pastures and has demonstrated severe depletion of lichen forage (refs). Our own research, focusing on the state of summer pastures, has demonstrated an equivalent depletion of palatable vascular plant forage (Bråthen et al. 2007).
Internationally, however, the current research emphasis on the widespread problem of ungulate overabundance extends beyond the deer abundance – range quality connection and embraces how ecosystem functioning and biodiversity is impacted (Cote, Danell et al. bok, Pringle et al. 2007. PNAS). This emphasis has recently also colored some statements and propositions about the consequences of reindeer husbandry in Finnmark. While some researchers have labeled the situation "an ecological disaster" (7), others have proposed specific trophic cascade scenarios leading to loss of ecosystem functions and biodiversity (8). However, as yet there are no studies that have devised adequate research designs based on the principles of food web theory (see §2.1.1 above) to quantitatively assess such claims about ecosystem level impacts of reindeer overabundance.

Main objectives:
Perform an integrated management- and researchproject with the intention to:
*** Climate-ecological Observatory for Arctic Tundra (COAT):
COAT aims to be a fully ecosystem-based system for long-term adaptive monitoring based on a food web approach. A food web approach in context of adaptive monitoring confers several advantages. First, the system is strongly embedded in fundamental ecological theory. This allows the formulation of conceptual climate impact prediction models for tractable modules (compartments) of the food web which will act as a guide for defining adequate monitoring targets and state variables. Second, the comprehensive food web approach taken by COAT, with 7 modules and derived prediction models, accommodate the anticipated climate change impact on tundra ecosystems. Anticipated impacts include (1) "Arctic greening" due to encroachment of forest and tall shrubs and its resultant feedback to the ecosystem and climate system, (2) disrupted dynamics and changed abundance levels of arctic key-stone herbivores and the resultant trophic cascades likely to compromise main ecosystem functions and endemic arctic diversity, and (3) emergence of pest species outbreaks, zoonoses and invasive southern species and assessment of the consequent impacts. Third, the adopted food web approach of COAT should be sufficiently comprehensive to also accommodate early detection of unforeseen events that follow the development of new climates and ecosystems. COAT has a special focus on targets that provide important provisioning and cultural ecosystem services locally (e.g. game), as well as supporting services (e.g. for the climate system) and iconic value (e.g. endemic arctic species) globally. Finally, by embracing the novel paradigm of adaptive monitoring, COAT meets the dual requirements of scientific robustness and societal relevance. Consequently COAT includes routines for involving policy makers and managers in order to provide a scientifically robust basis for decision making and implementation of actions, and to ensure their feedback into COAT. According to the adaptive protocol COAT will iteratively adjust prediction models and monitoring designs as new scientific knowledge and new research and monitoring technologies become available.

Welcome to the world Caleb John!
March 30, 2011 - Cheryl Clarke
My niece, Diana Rizzo-Petlock, and her husband Joshua, welcomed thier first born son into the world Monday around 3:30 a.m. The new little member of the family weighed 7 pounds, 14 ounces and was 22 inches long. He was born at Towanda Hospital and is the first grandchild of my youngest brother Mike of Syracuse and Diana's mother, Susan of Wyalusing. They are deleriously happy and I know how they feel. I remember when my little Julia, now 26 months old, was born, and how fast the time has flown and how much she has changed. She now can talk, and is a little chatterbox. We visited with her and her parents over the weekend for her father Aaron's birthday March 28, and it was pure bliss to hear her sweet little voice as she ran into the kitchen calling for me to come and take her to pet our elderly cat, Toffee, who is 12 years old in April. I am so proud of Aaron and Julia's mother, Sara. They are awesome parents, so patient with her and the love she returns to them is so evident. It is wonderful to see. My husband and I feel like we did a pretty good job in raising Aaron and his younger brother Micah. Our family is very close if not in miles, and I miss them every day, even more since my parents passed away within the past three years. Blessings to Diana, she looks amazingly rested and lovely in the photos taken right after the birth, and you can see that she and Josh, too, will be great parents to their little son.

Obama highlights push for better skilled teachers
WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama brought forward a new administration effort Monday to place quality teachers in schools that need them the most.
Obama said the U.S. education system has "a problem" in that students who would benefit the most from having skilled or experienced teachers in their classrooms are least likely to get them, including black and Hispanic students.
Obama credits education and good teachers for helping him get to the White House. He said he wants to make sure that every child has the same access to good teachers that he had.
"The one ingredient that we know makes an enormous difference is a great teacher," Obama said before discussing the issue over lunch at the White House with Education Secretary Arne Duncan and four teachers from Springdale, Ark.; Washington, D.C.; Greensboro, N.C.; and Philadelphia.
Under the initiative, the Education Department will ask states to develop plans to make sure very student has an effective teacher.

ok, so seriously you have to stay off the scale if the number it says is going to make you adjust your eating when you get off of it. If you think yesterday was a dd then it probably was just go with that, you are in this for the long run and if you went over your dd by even a couple of hundred calories, it is not going to make that much difference. Regardless of what the scale says, ya dun good. Now enjoy your ud and plan for your next dd.

Another big bonus is shopping at the farmers market is easy on your wallet! This week head to your nearest farmers market, and add in these 8 farmers market inspired recipes for fresh and delicious weeknight dinners.

Troy Newman of the militantly anti-choice group Operation Rescue appeared yesterday on the Janet Mefferd Show to discuss an upcoming HBO series based on the life and death of Dr. George Tiller, the Kansas abortion provider who was murdered by a "pro-life" activist at his church. Newman claimed that women's health centers that offer family planning are filthy, "demonic" places where "the abortionist takes every drop of money that he can get" to feed his many addictions, including drugs, alcohol, sex and gambling. He argued that the late Dr. Tiller was... MORE

Back when Michele Bachmann was the GOP's flavor of the month, three Religious Right leaders formed a Super PAC to bolster Bachmann's fledgling campaign. Kenneth Blackwell, the former Ohio Secretary of State, failed gubernatorial nominee and unsuccessful candidate to be chairman of the Republican National Committee, was to chair the pro-Bachmann Citizens for a Working America. In fact, the announcement came just days after Rick Perry entered the presidential race. How times have changed. Today, Blackwell switched sides and is now endorsing Rick Perry: Ken Blackwell, the former... MORE

Several weeks ago, the Family Research Council's Tony Perkins hosted a press briefing at the National Press Club to discuss just what it is that the Religious Right is seeking in a Republican presidential nominee. During the Q&A, Perkins was asked to discuss the idea that the very positions that make a candidate appealing to the Religious Right are the same positions that make such candidates unappealing to the general voting population. Not surprisingly, Perkins took issue with that assessment and asserted instead that without the support of the Religious Right, no Republican candidate... MORE

Herman Cain has said this week that he is pro-life and that abortion should be made illegal, but also that the government shouldn't have any role in it and the decision should be left up to the woman and her family. As Kyle notes, it seems that Cain's position is that abortion should be outlawed but "in situations where a family was deciding whether or not to break the law, it is none of the government's business to tell them what to do." Cain seems to be the only person who understands this view, and the Religious Right is not happy, to say the least. Rick Perry... MORE

You really have to feel for Herman Cain because it seems that people are always misunderstanding his perfectly consistent and reasonable statements. Like how his 9-9-9 plan will not raise taxes on the poor because he has a super-secret solution that he just hasn't told anyone about or how just because he said he wouldn't allow any Muslims to serve in his administration, that doesn't mean he wouldn't allow Muslims to serve in his administration. Yesterday Cain made news again after saying that it is not the "government's role, or anybody else's role" to make the... MORE

During an interview with Piers Morgan on Wednesday, Herman Cain ignited controversy by stating that homosexuality is a choice and presenting an incoherent view on abortion: that he is against abortion rights but that "it's not the government's role or anybody else's role to make that decision." In the same interview, Cain also repeated his claim that he never said he'd ban Muslims in his administration if elected president: Morgan: You got into hot water about the whole issue of Muslims in a potential cabinet. Cain: Yes. Morgan: And you have kind of flip-... MORE

I need YOU to determine the fate of the object in this video – tell me what to do, dammit!
Comments 47
auction it off for your marathon blog
I volunteer at a resale charity store. We do not want it.
cmonster the zombie
Eh…mail it to her. Why go through the uncomfortable scenario of a face-to-face meeting over that…creation…when the thrill is not there between y'all.
Either that or mail it to me and I'll blow it up for your entertainment and post a YouTube video of the carnage. It's probably best to put that poor box-thing to rest with a Viking -esque funeral sendoff of gunpowder and mayhem.
(c'mon, Man! Let me blow 'er up!)
I think it would be a great joke regift… especially to someone who knows the story and who can relive the laughter/awkwardness and then joyfully inflict it on someone else! Besides, after two dates there's not enough angst to make destroying it satisfying. 🙂
Katy Rawson
Save it for a white elephant gift at Christmas, but make sure all your friends and family know about it so that whoever gets it, knows the joke. LOL Or, let cmonster the zombie blow it up. Then, it's entertaining for us all. 😀
I was going to say send a quick email to ask if she wants it, and if not (or she doesn't respond) donate it to charity. Now, however, I want to see cmonster blow it up, because watching something explode into tiny ceramic shards might be entertaining.
D.J. Paris
There's no way she wants it – I'm going to have to a creative giveaway!
soooo… NOT blowing it up, then?
I'm w/everyone; def give it away.. If she hasn't talked to you or asked for it in almost a month, then there's a good chance she could care less about it. (And if I were her, the last thing I'd want in my house is something that reminds me of a couple seemingly lackluster dates.) Perhaps there's a five-year-old out there who's trying to impress the girl he likes and so he'll show her the cool candle thing he made? (And yes, I assumed a 5YO boy–and not a girl–would want it b/c from the video, that doesn't look like something a girl would make. No offense to artistically challenged girls out there tho!)
Either charity or a friend/relative familiar w/this story would find a better use for it, I bet. Hope that helps!!
D.J. Paris
Ha! Thanks for the thoughtful reply. Keep reading!
Mothers little hleper
Send it back to her……women are petty that way, you will forever be that jerk that kept her pottery!
D.J. Paris
Well, I'm already the jerk that talked about her in a video…
Oooo… Tough call. I'd text her and see if she wants it or not. Chances are that she's not dying without it, though.
D.J. Paris
No way she wants it. I'm keeping it. And giving it away. Ha!
For one, if a guy took me to a pottery store on a date, I would scoop him up and marry him on the spot. But then again I live in a quiet little do nothing town (we do have pottery stores like the one you described) where all the men take you out to the bar and hope to get you drunk enough so you will sleep with them. You actually need a little imagination for clever dates around here and all men around here are not clever enough to think of stuff like that. Actually I am married, to one of those not so clever people. I do love him though. But the pottery thing – awesome idea.
I would hide it in a friends house and wait for them to find it. Then if they give it back to you, I would wrap it up and give it to them for x-mas. Although I do agree that blowing it up would be cool.
D.J. Paris
Hiding it in someone else's house is not an awful idea. Will consider!!!
Kate Hall
Make it part of your oSex podcasts or set it up prominently in the background or to the side. It totally represents a "relationship" and it's funny and ridiculous…and ugly.
D.J. Paris
Ooooooohhhhh – that is awesome enough to might just work. See you at BlogHer!
Personally, I'd probably opt for a passive aggressive approach. Blowing things up doesn't sound that cool to me, but that's just me. I wouldn't begrudge anyone else their urge to blow stuff up. If there was some way you could drop it off for her without having to actually see her face-to-face, you could just leave it with a note that *appears* to be simple and innocuous but implies an undertone of "here's-your-fucking-candle-holder-don't-think-your-total-lack-of-creativity-escaped-my-notice-thanks-for-the-date." You're creative, I'm sure you could think of something like that.
D.J. Paris
I loved all of this. Well said!!!!
Option 1: repaint it and send it back
Option 2: keep it and jot a note down about something you learned about yourself or dating in general and put it in the box.
Option 3: next time you are invited to someone's house that you barely know
leave it in the bathroom on the sly.
I love your ideas! Brilliant!
D.J. Paris
All great!!!!
sandi caganoff
i stumbled on this via twitter. and i think it is belittling. she will see it and feel incredibly insecure. perhaps she is not creative. perhaps you wiped the creativity out of her with your smugness.
a date that went wrong. let it be.
Buy a nice candle, put it in her painted box, wrap and mail it to her shop. It'll show her that even if you two did not click, you are a classy and mature person. A lot classier than she is.
Steve Scanlan
Take candle and place in bottom or garbage can. Take empty 20 oz diet dr pepper bottle. Pour 4 fluid ounces of blue Works (like Draino but better) into bottle. Drop 4 small aluminum balls in bottle and put cap back on. Run
After explosion send your book to her to help her creativity.

White elephant gift definitely
Victoria Veney
Well I didn't see the video, but I got the jist of it from the comments. I would just give it back to her if she doesn't want it when she gets it back then let her be the one to get rid of it. Because women have big mouths and they talk to all the other women and it makes you look like the jerk. But if you do the right thing then the other women say hey he's pretty Kool I wouldn't mind going out with him, and your I am going to get laid factor goes up dramatically!! Where has if your a jerk it makes the other women question if they wanna give you the time of day so therefore it drastically bring down your getting laid factor!! So I guess it just depends on if you like getting laid or not your choice!!
I think you should keep it. As a stress reliever. Remember how awkward the date was and anytime you feel nervous or anxious, light a candle and laugh at life. OR….take it in your backpack while you ride around with a bag of tea lights. Put it on the table while at a restaurant. In the middle of a meeting at work. On the edge of Navy pier. In a candle lineup at the local church during a pierogi festival, right below Mary. On the El in an empty seat. To the Cubby Bear for a beer before you take it to Wrigley. On the glass edge, all alone, at Willis Tower. On the Sea Dog speedboat. On the shelf at the Frank Lloyd Wright home and studio store. Millions of possibilities. And for the love of god, photo document all of the odd reactions you get.
You're hilarious.
Get rid of it.
Two reasons; first, keeping it means having to get rid of it at a later date. No good reason to delay the inevitable. Second, the video will be your lasting memory…
Well sir, first and foremost; that does not belong to you. You stole an innocent woman's candle thingie from some crazy craft lady's store. How do you sleep at night knowing you stole not only your dates wacke but also that of a complete stranger who clearly showed some promise on the ceramic painting scene. You should be punished to the full extent of the law. BRING IT BACK TO THE STORE YOU BASTARD! That's where common sense would be telling you that's where they will both look first.
Secondly (and even I hate when people number their thoughts but I am making an exception because of the blatant abuse of date rules here) you really should not be showing women's pottery on national internet. I hope napkin girl is a keeper, because who else is going to date you now that we all know you paint and tell? Why not just flash a photo of her vagina? What are you ten? Just because she doesn't paint the way you like or didn't laugh and start a paint fight at the venue with you that turned into wild public sex she's just not cool enough for you. I think you should know that yellow and green go very nicely together, and it's a fucking candle holder, so obviously she knows it will only be seen in the dark and it was a clear invitation for sex and she was trying to tell you that…and oh man…it's just all too much…there's so much work here that needs to be done and because I don't know you I just can't spend the energy. That sentence alone was so bad it has ruined my morning and giving you advice is clearly as pointless as paying my gas bill.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Adapting to Evolving Business Environments Is...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
As a kid, I was a huge science-fiction movie fan. One my favorites was the original and classic Frankenstein (1931), where an abnormal-brain transplant was involved. Another, which was actually a comedy and not sci-fi, was The Thing with Two Heads (1972).
What made me think of these two movies was a journal article in last month's issue of Surgical Neurology International entitled "HEAVEN: the head anastomosis venture project outline for the first human head transplantation with spinal linkage (GEMINI)." Yep, you read it right, human head transplants, although in reality the recipient would be getting a new body, not a new head.
The author is Italian neuroscientist Sergio Canavero, M.D. And the good doctor, who by all accounts appears to have his own head screwed on right, is dead-on serious about what he terms "total cephalic exchange." He believes the technology is already available to move forward on this project.
When I first got a heads up about this story I thought it was a joke. But a quick Google search revealed that it was being covered online by U.S. News, London's Daily Mail, CBS News, ABC News, and The Atlantic, among others. And when you delve into the details of Dr. Canavero's article, you can see that he has come up with a fairly reasonable rationale for his optimism. He says all he needs is $30 million in capital and about two years to refine the procedure.
Head transplants have been performed on dogs and rats with various degrees of success. But the milestone experiment belonged to Robert White, M.D., Ph.D., who in 1970 somewhat successfully transplanted the head from one monkey to another. I say somewhat because the monkey did regain consciousness with the aid of a breathing machine, but was paralyzed from the neck down and died after eight days.
There have been no major issues connecting blood vessels. The problem arises when dealing with the spinal cord. How do you successfully connect these intricately bundled nerves? Dr. Canavero believes that polyethylene glycol (PEG) is the answer to fusing the two cords. The donor, he points out in his journal article, "is a brain-dead patient, matched for height and build, immunotype, and screened for absence of active systemic and brain disorders." He maintains that such a procedure would be beneficial—in reality, life saving—for individuals suffering from muscular dystrophy, tetraplegics who are often prone to multi-organ failure, and for those with intractable cancer without evidence of brain metastases. All noble goals.
But, I must admit, this whole business leaves me uncomfortable. Indeed, when I conducted an informal poll among friends and acquaintances I pretty much saw the scrunched-up-face response that people usually display when they encounter something distasteful. I tried to figure out why. Most folks seem to readily accept limb, lung, heart (even with its historical romantic connections), and even face transplants. Then it hit me. I believe people, at least those I talked to, were repelled by the head transplant concept because in truth we are our heads. Our personality, emotions, thoughts, feelings, opinions, and view of life all are born and reside in that organ that sits on top of our body and contains the brain, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and jaws. The thought of "us" moving to a headless body just might be too much for many people to stomach.
Also, and I am neither a neurosurgeon nor an expert in neurology, I get the feeling that the technical aspects of doing this operation are more difficult than we might have been led to believe. Again, just a feeling. And then there are the ethical issues surrounding such an undertaking. I wouldn't even know where to begin to address such issues.
Jerry Silver, Ph.D., was in the lab when Dr. White did the monkey head transplant.
"I remember that the head would wake up, the facial expressions looked like terrible pain and confusion and anxiety in the animal," Dr. Silver, now at Case Western Reserve University, said to CBSNews.com. "It was just awful. I don't think it should ever be done again."
He believes such an operation on humans is "light years away" and could cost as much as $13 million, citing Dr. Canavero's own estimates.
"It's complete fantasy that you could use PEG in such a traumatic injury in an adult mammal," continued Dr. Silver during his CBSNews.com interview. "But to sever a head and even contemplate the possibility of gluing axons back properly across the lesion to their neighbors is pure and utter fantasy in my opinion. Just to do the experiments is unethical. This is bad science, this should never happen."
For now, I agree with him. What about you? Feel free to comment below.
