Weakness on Left and Right has created threat of a destabilising power vacuum in UK politics
REPORTS of the death of British political parties are usually much exaggerated; apart from anything else, there's something about the Westminster system that so craves the presence of two large, dominating parties that it keeps hauling them back, Terminator-style, from the brink of self-destruction.
For all that, though, it would be wrong to underestimate the shocking depth of the crisis that now faces the Labour Party, as it confronts the smoking electoral ruins of all it has tried to achieve since 1997. In Glasgow East, Margaret Curran fought like a terrier to save the day for Labour, and was batted aside, in a seat so safe that there are only 24 sitting Labour MPs in the UK who would have a better chance of surviving electoral meltdown.
The prospects for Labour are now unremittingly grim. Too infatuated with wealth and power to retain the loyalty of its traditional supporters, yet too trapped by its history ever to be fully trusted by its new friends, New Labour has slowly written its own political and organisational death-warrant as a party. Now, both in Scotland and south of the Border, its reconstruction will doubtless take the best part of a decade, even if the UK general election comes sooner rather than later, and feisty Margaret Curran is elected as the new Scottish Labour leader within weeks.
All of which would be dramatic enough, if it were simply a matter – as in 1979 – of a left-of-centre political era coming to an end, and another and more right-wing consensus beginning to take shape. The problem is, though, that there is very little evidence that this is the case.
People may be exasperated by high taxation, and particularly by the recent cack-handed abolition of the 10p tax-rate for low-earners; but in every other area, the charge-sheet against Gordon Brown's government, brought by disillusioned voters from Crewe to Easterhouse, seems to lean to the Left of the government's present position, rather than the Right.
The government should, people say, be doing more to protect those on limited incomes from everything from rising fuel bills to high food prices and the danger of homelessness. It should be lowering taxes on the poor and raising taxes on the rich. It should not be wasting money on expensive foreign wars, and it should be putting a stop to its farcical love affair with private-sector intervention in what are clearly public-sector matters – witness the current shaming fiasco over the Sats testing system in England and Wales.
The difficulty is, though, that following 15 years of determined New Labour compromise with the Right, the UK party-political system seems barely able to respond to any leftward shift in the mood of the nation. In Scotland, the response has not been too bad, in terms of the emergence of an alternative willing to pick up the cudgels for social democracy.
Like any nationalist party, the SNP has a slippery tendency to try to be all things to all people in Scotland. Its relationship with wealthy right-wing backers is worrying, and its willingness to play footsie with the nation's small band of religious reactionaries – witness Bishop Joseph Devine's intervention in Glasgow East – is enough to make the blood run cold, for anyone who cares about Scottish women's rights.
But the fact remains that in practical areas, from housing to health policy, the Salmond government has not hesitated to move to the Left of New Labour and – just as importantly – to argue the principled case for doing so; hence the standing ovation won by Nicola Sturgeon at the annual conference of the British Medical Association in Edinburgh, when she drew a clear line in the sand over the involvement of the private sector in the NHS.
In England, though, where almost 90 per cent of UK voters live, the situation is very different. It's increasingly clear that a critical mass of middle English opinion has now succeeded in convincing itself that, Tory or not, a David Cameron government could be no worse than the current lot; and Cameron's clever projection of a modern, multicultural, green-tinged Conservatism-lite has clearly been designed to encourage this view.
Yet you don't have to be much of an analyst to see just how grave the mismatch is soon likely to become, between Cameron's charming-but-vacuous Tory front-bench and the real needs of Britain's ordinary voters at a time of mounting global crisis. There is not a shred of evidence, for example, that a Cameron government would be either willing or able to get Britain out of its foreign wars, to rebalance the taxation system in favour of the poor, or even – despite David Cameron's carefully cultivated green image – to do anything substantial about the nation's carbon footprint.
In the medium and long term, there will be no disguising the yawning gap on the Left of British politics left by the demise of the old Labour Party and by the failure of the New Labour project to create genuinely new ideological ground on which to fight for social justice in the 21st century. And once Labour is down and out for a political generation, it is genuinely frightening to think what other political forces may emerge, in the badlands between far Left and far Right, to give voice to the increasing fear and anger of ordinary English working people in difficult times.
The Union between England and Scotland could be one of the early casualties of such a shift. But so could Britain's long social tradition of relative cultural pluralism and tolerance. And when it comes to the big picture of 21st-century history, it's not difficult to see which of those losses would be more significant; or more damaging to the long-term reputation of those New Labour politicians whose failures, in the end, made such losses almost inevitable.

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Around dusk on Sept. 28, the Austin Peay State University campus will be filled with colorful characters – literally. That night, the APSU Alumni Relations Office will host its inaugural Gov Run – a one-mile run around campus where participants in bright clothing are splashed with non-toxic colored starch.
"This run is all about having fun," Rylan Kean, APSU special events coordinator, said. "Color stations and surprises will be set up along the way to keep the party going."
The race will make use of the campus' new GOV Trails – a Tennessee Department of Health-funded project that promotes physical activity at APSU – and it will conclude at the Morgan University Center plaza with a large party, featuring music and a chance to socialize.
Tickets to the event are $20 for members of the public and free for the first 500 APSU students to preregister. Registration is available online at http://thegovrun2013.eventbrite.com/. Participants are encouraged to dress up in monocles, top hats, fake mustaches and prim suits with tails, honoring the APSU mascot, the Governor.
For more information, contact Kean at 931-221-7979 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Our Tune of the Day for Saturday, for Saturday, March 24, 2012 is Tears Of Rage (Alternate Take) by The Band. This dates from the Music From Big Pink sessions and is included as a bonus track on the 2000 edition of the 1968 classic. A little less tight than the album version and maybe a just tad slower. Killer.

Luiz Felipe Scolari made an unsuccessful return as Brazil coach on Wednesday as a 23-year unbeaten record against England ended with a 2-1 loss at Wembley Stadium.
Fred canceled out Wayne Rooney's opener for England at the start of the second half, but Frank Lampard curled the match-winner in off the post on the hour.
Meanwhile, the much anticipated attacking duo of Neymar and Ronaldinho was unable to deliver as the Brazilian national team continues to struggle.
Beating the five-time world champions for the first time since 1990 will raise English expectations as they try to ensure they qualify for the World Cup in Brazil next year.

Book Trailers: What's your thoughts on them??
7 comments:
- Valerie StuckInBooks said...
I guess I like book trailers but they don't always tell the story for me. Sometimes a good one may get me interested in a book but he reverse can also be said. I don't tend to seek them out until after I've read the book and I'm writing a review. Then I may want to include them in the post. I could live without them.

Body Rides (edition 2004)
by Richard Laymon
Work details
Body Rides by Richard Laymon
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The plot is different, I'll give Laymon that. It was a cool idea to have a bracelet where you can go body-hopping any time you want. The execution fell a little flat but overall the premise was good. As the back blurb reads, Neal gets sidetracked one night returning video tapes with a man torturing and murdering a gorgeous female. Putting on an act of bravery, he shoots the man, captures the woman, and saves the day. The ending should have him walking off with whistles and high fives shouldn't it?
Things go wrong when something else tragic happens, and soon Neal ends up getting other people mixed up in his mess. Things go from bad to ugly to worse as he and his accomplices try to track down the man before he finds them first. The plot is interesting in many ways, and the characters are likeable to a degree. Many of the scenes are tense and nail-biting, and there is a sense of "us against them" going down.
However, a lot of emphasis is placed on sex. Now, while I usually don't mind that and enjoy sex in my books -- there was a bit too much here to where it took away from the plot. Tension scenes were broken up to remove pants, character interaction was a little muddled as someone else got horny yet again, and things became a little too unrealistic and akin to soft porn.
When tension is supposed to be there, it is. Laymon really is a Master at getting things going strong and sturdy. At key moments the atmosphere was powerful and dynamic.
Neal is a loveable guy -- this man would cry at a wedding, a funeral, a christening, an engagement. He has a true heart -- one big enough to swallow everyone else around him up. He's a genuine sweet fella, and I couldn't help but really like him. Usually men aren't shown to be so emotional, but he was, and came across convincing. Sue came across as fun and chipper at first but eventually wore down on my nerves. Not her attitude, but just the way everything just fell into place for her. Started wearing me out. As for Marta, I thought she bent a bit TOO easily and was slightly unrealistic and two dimensional. The deeds of the "bad guy" are certainly violent. At times his actions come across a little too extreme, almost like he's there for a little bit of shock factor.
The pace starts out well but then slows down. Mainly it's all the unnecessary sex and dialogue pertaining to lust. Again, this can be a huge strength in a novel and I'm certainly no prude when it comes to the hot and steamy stuff. But here it's used in so much excess it's un-needed, producing awkwardness and teenage angst. Pretty soon it seems like about half of the book only focuses on hormones, not horror.
On a more positive note, Laymon writes beautifully. His words are well chosen, his sentences easily flow together, his dialogue is realistic enough, and the rhythm of his work is exceptional. If only the pace and plot of this one had been worked on more.
Like a cheap condom, too much of a good thing can wear a bit too thin. This is what happened in Body Rides. A nice editing would have trimmed it up the sides, perhaps some more action and less on bedroom play, and more focus on what's important -- the story. But what we have after awhile is a book a bit too long for what it's covering, a story that drags like sheets being pulled on the floor, and mushy (unrealistic) character interaction. It's not a complete lost cause, however; I really liked Neal, the tension was tightly wound at some points, and the ending was pretty cool. Also the idea itself was unique.
If you're a fan of Laymon pick this one up....or, most likely, if you're just curious about all the sex scenes (almost an orgy too) pick this one up .
Poor Richard Laymon, he was born into the wrong world. The Eskimos live in a world of snow and have a hundred words for it, but Richard Laymon lived in a world of nipples and had only the one word. One single, lousy word. Nipple.
Sure, there were 'hard nipples' and 'long nipples', even more exotic 'glistening' or 'jutting' nipples - but in the end, it was all just nipples, nipples, nipples. So many adjectives, just one lonely noun.
No, if life was fair Richard Laymon would have been born into a time and place where the language had hundreds of special words to describe each and every type of nipple that could possibly exist...such as the 'precipipple colostorium nexus', which means a nipple that is three-quarters erect (from finger pinching), resembles a slightly used pencil eraser, and has a small freckle on the left side.
But alas, life IS unfair, as Laymon's untimely death has proved with even more certainty than the dearth of words for nipples.
My brother Adam recently shared his beloved paperback of BODY RIDES, and I loved it. It's preposterous, full of equally unlikely coincidences and decisions, and requires such a spectacular level of suspension of disbelief that in the hands of any other author the whole thing would've been nothing more than a giant joke.
But Laymon's writing possesses some sort of magic spell, and once he's got you he never lets go. I haven't read a book so eagerly in a while. The writing is not classic literature, the plotholes could swallow Seattle, but damn if it's not one of my favorite books so far this year.
If you've got a single fun bone in your body, I don't see how you couldn't have one hell of a good time with this one. A word of warning, though - don't try to play a drinking game using this book, because if you took a drink every time your eyes passed over the word 'nipple', you'd be dead by chapter three.
Body Rides - Richard Laymon ****
Imagine being given a ring that will allow to to enter someone elses body, feel what they feel, experience their thoughts and see the most hidden of secrets. Now imagine this ring in the hands of a randy lad just out of his teens.....
Anyone who is familiar with Laymons work will know what to expect, with lots of references to sex, boobs and girls undressing....
Neil rescues a woman being raped at the roadside and seemingly leaves her killer for dead. As a reward she gives him her most treasured item, a ring that will allow to go for 'body rides'. However the killer isn't dead and now wants to exact revenge on Neil for spoiling his fun. Can he use to ring to his advantage whilst having a little fun on the way?
A wonderful book that at times was gruesome, at times laugh aloud. I love Richard Laymon but can see why he may not be everyones cup of tea. Not a bad place to be introduced to his work.
To borrow the oft-quoted cover blurb from Stephen King, "If you've missed Laymon, you've missed a treat." If you've never had the pleasure, I urge you to pick one up one of Laymon's books (One Rainy Night remains my favourite). They're the literary equivalent of watching a low-budget slasher flick while riding a dilapidated old roller coaster – a deliciously enjoyable thrill ride that doesn't require much from the reader, other than to strap in, hold tight . . . and enjoy.Body Rides is pretty much an average Laymon tale, but still more fun than anything else you're likely to read this summer. The basic plot is pretty simple. After rescuing a beautiful woman from a vicious serial killer, Neal finds himself gifted with a bracelet that allows him to leave his body and hitch a ride in anybody he chooses, experiencing their thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. During his first long-distance ride, Neal discovers that not only is the serial killer he left for dead very much alive, but he's come to finish the job . . . and there's nothing Neal can do but watch from inside his victim.A large portion of the book is dedicated to Neal's initial flight (from the authorities & the killer) and his relationships with two women who become key to the eventual resolution of the story. By the end, all three of them have used the bracelet for various voyeuristic, investigative, erotic, and frightening body rides. Although the story could have been a good 100 pages shorter, Laymon's books are always as much about the experience and the atmosphere as they are about the plot, and that's part of the thrill.Personally, I would have loved to share more in Neal's experiences riding along in either Sue or Marta's body, but we certainly get our fair share of Sue experiencing Neal – and the novelty/curiosity is certainly handled very well.Like I said, nobody is ever going to accuse Laymon of being the greatest writer of the 20th century, but that's fine. Nobody is going to accuse Friday the 13th of being the greatest example of 20th cinema either, but it's still damned fun to watch with the lights out.
Body Rides is another must read for any fan of Laymon.
Laymon once again succeeds in creating a story that twists the reader into a knot and then proceeds to slowly untie them.
The characters are surprisingly easygoing considering there may be someone trying to kill them but the story pushes on with the twisted inner dialog and "roll with the punches" morals typical of Laymons stories.
If your a fan of Laymon this is definitely a book to add to your collection. If your not than still give it a try, its guaranteed to leave you thinking what you would do.

With the USA BMX National Series in its end of the Summer Swing, it was time to race at the legendary Louisville, KY Tom Saywer BMX Track. One of the most loved tracks by BMX racers world wide, a 3 day national event gave the Worlds fastest racers 3 shots at victory. The Chase BMX duo of Connor Fields and Vincent Pelluard were on hand, to not only race all 3 days, but to show the Louisville fans the all new line of hi-end CHASE BMX complete bike line, the "Element" series as well as the new OS20 Chase BMX Bike.
The fastest 40 Elite Men kicked things off on Friday, ready to battle it out on the wide open Louisville track. The hot & humid weather didn't slow down the Chase duo of Connor & Vincent and they made there way through all the qualifiers and into the main event. When the gate dropped, it was Connor with the hole shot and the lead coming out of the first turn, with Vincent in tow. The two would race that way for the entire lap, with Free Agent/Rockstar Pro David Herman in the 3rd plate spot. This would be Connor's 8th podium of the 2013 USA BMX Season, out of 9 races. This was Vincent's best USA BMX race result of his career.
Day 2 would be a true test for any BMX'er as the weather was a huge part of the challenge of the day, as the humidity was turned up and the heat was relentless. As the riders again made their way thru the days program, both Connor and Vincent were once again lined up on the gate when it came main event time. When the gate dropped though, it was a Marris Strombergs with the hole shot and the win for the day, while Connor would settle for 5th and Vincent with a 7th. Just minutes after the Elite men finished up the lap, the sky's opened up and the torrential rains came down.The race would eventually be postponed until Sunday morning for the rest of the main events.
Day 3 would be a true test of the Elite riders conditioning and when it came time for the main event, the only rider to make the main event all 3 days, was Connor Fields.As the gate dropped for the last time for the Elite riders, Sam Willoughby would take the lead, with David Herman in 2nd and Connor in the 3rd place spot. The riders would end up this way at the line and giving Connor another podium finish and a solid 2nd place overall in the current USA BMX Elite Men National standings.
Connor will now get a few weeks off and get ready for the UCI World Cup finals in Chula Vista, CA, where he currently sits 2nd overall in the Elite Mens standings. The overall title will come down to just a few mere points, so it will be an exciting race day on September 28th. You can catch it all live on BMXlive.tv

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are the infections and resulting clinical syndromes caused by approximately 30 infectious organisms.
Sexual activity is the predominant mode of transmission, through genital, anal, or oral mucosal contact.
STDs are among the most common infectious diseases. Annually, an estimated 19.7 million sexually transmitted infections occur in the United States alone. Worldwide, an estimated 499 million cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and trichomoniasis occur each year. Some STDs are more prevalent in developing countries (chancroid, lymphogranuloma venereum [LGV], granuloma inguinale [donovanosis]) or in specific regions (gonorrhea with treatment failure and decreased susceptibility to cephalosporins in Asia) and may be imported into other countries by travelers returning from such locales.
Casual sexual relationships occur frequently during travel to foreign countries. In a systematic review published in 2010, the pooled prevalence of travel-associated casual sex among foreign travelers was 20.4%. In addition, commercial sex in various destinations, such as Southeast Asia, attracts many foreign travelers. Commercial sex workers in some regions have high rates of STDs, including HIV, and travelers who have sex with them risk acquiring these infections.
Knowledge of the clinical presentation, frequency of infection, and antimicrobial resistance patterns is needed to manage STDs that occur in travelers. Assessing risk for men who have sex with men is important because of the recent increased rates of infectious syphilis, gonorrhea with treatment failure and decreased susceptibility to cephalosporins, and lymphogranuloma venereum in various geographic locations.
Many infections may be asymptomatic (chlamydia, gonorrhea), so screening for these infections at anatomic sites of contact and serologic testing for syphilis should be encouraged among travelers who present in clinic concerned they may have acquired an STD. Any traveler who might have been exposed and who develops vaginal, urethral, or rectal discharge, an unexplained rash or genital lesion, or genital or pelvic pain should be advised to cease sexual activity and promptly seek medical evaluation.
Some systemic infections are acquired through sexual transmission (hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV, syphilis). Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is usually subclinical and asymptomatic and most often clears spontaneously within 2 years. However, persistent HPV infection can lead to genital warts, cervical and other anogenital cancers, and oropharyngeal cancer. Because many travelers do not volunteer a history of sexual contact during travel, clinicians should inquire about sexual exposures when caring for returned travelers.
Genital ulcer evaluation should include a serologic test for syphilis and a culture or PCR testing for genital herpes. If exposure occurred in areas where chancroid is more common (Africa, Asia, and Latin America), a test for Haemophilus ducreyi should also be performed. Lymphadenopathy can accompany genital ulceration with chancroid infections, as well as with LGV and donovanosis. If painful perianal ulcers are present or mucosal ulcers are detected on anoscopy, presumptive therapy should include a regimen for anogenital herpes. LGV should be suspected in a traveler with tender unilateral inguinal or femoral lymphadenopathy or proctocolitis. Presumptive treatment for LGV should be considered for men who have sex with men and who have proctitis and perianal or mucosal ulcers, after obtaining specific testing for Chlamydia trachomatis (culture, direct immunofluorescence, or nucleic acid testing) from relevant specimens (genital lesions, rectal, or lymph node). Donovanosis is endemic in India, Papua New Guinea, central Australia, and southern Africa and is diagnosed with a crush tissue preparation from the lesion.
Testing specimens from the anatomic site of exposure with nucleic acid amplification testing can detect C. trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Culture and antibiotic susceptibility testing should be considered when gonorrhea is suspected, because of geographic differences in antimicrobial susceptibility. Various diagnostic methods are available to identify the cause of an abnormal vaginal discharge, including microscopic evaluation and pH testing of vaginal secretions, DNA probe-based testing, nucleic acid amplification testing, and culture.
Diagnosis of anogenital warts is made by visual inspection, with confirmation by biopsy if clinically indicated.
Anyone who seeks evaluation for STDs, or is diagnosed with an STD, should be screened for HIV infection.
Evaluation, management, and follow-up of STDs should be based on standard guidelines (CDC and the World Health Organization). The prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in different areas should be considered when selecting treatment regimens. Early detection and treatment are important, as many STDs are asymptomatic. STDs can often result in serious and long-term complications, including pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, stillbirths and neonatal infections, anogenital and other cancers, and an increased risk for HIV acquisition and transmission.
The prevention and control of STDs are based on accurate risk assessment, education, counseling, early identification of asymptomatic infection, and effective treatment of patients and their sex partners. Pre-travel advice should include specific messages about the need to avoid acquiring or transmitting STDs. Abstinence or mutual monogamy with an uninfected partner is the most reliable way to avoid acquiring and transmitting STDs.
For people whose sexual behaviors place them at risk for STDs, correct and consistent use of the male latex condom can reduce the risk of HIV infection and other STDs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis. Preventing lower genital tract infections might reduce the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease in women. Correct and consistent use of male latex condoms also reduces the risk of HPV infection, genital herpes, syphilis, and chancroid, although data are limited. Only water-based lubricants (such as K-Y Jelly or glycerin) should be used with latex condoms because oil-based lubricants (such as petroleum jelly, shortening, mineral oil, or massage oil) can weaken latex condoms. Spermicides containing nonoxynol-9 are not recommended for STD/HIV prevention, as nonoxynol-9 may disrupt genital or rectal epithelium and has been associated with an increased risk of HIV transmission. Contraceptive methods that are not mechanical barriers do not protect against HIV or other STDs.
Prompt evaluation of sexual partners is necessary to prevent reinfection and disrupt transmission of many STDs. Preexposure vaccination is among the most effective methods for preventing some STDs. Two HPV vaccines are available and licensed for girls and women aged 9–26 years to prevent cervical precancers and cancers: the quadrivalent HPV and the bivalent HPV vaccine. The quadrivalent vaccine also prevents genital warts and is recommended for boys and men aged 9–26 years as well as girls and women. All travelers should be considered candidates for both hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccines, as these infections can be sexually transmitted. Hepatitis B vaccine is recommended for all people being evaluated or treated for an STD. In addition, hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccines are recommended for men who have sex with men and injection drug users. Travelers, particularly those at high risk for acquiring HIV infection, may consider discussing preexposure prophylaxis with their health care providers (see www.cdc.gov/hiv/prep and HIV section in this chapter).

After a successful company purchase, "business as usual" is not a very promising strategy for the subsequent integration of the company which was purchased. Any extra charge included in the purchase price (goodwill / premium) has only been a wise investment if the planned synergies are implemented quickly and efficiently. A swift implementation, including the need to concentrate on the essentials whilst making use of the momentum resulting from the Merger & Acquisition, are therefore decisive for a successful integration.
Our Post Deal Services include:
- integration management: analysis of the integration risks and chances as well as the formulation and implementation of solutions; these items are already dealt with during the Due Diligence process; they cannot, however, be concluded until after the transaction has been completed;
- identification and implementation of the necessary Day1-Day100 activities
- ongoing, detailed value driver analysis as well as synergy tracking
- assuring the financial standards of the subsidiary company are in line with those of the parent company
- harmonisation of the financial management systems (reporting and controlling), important for complying with the requirements of the financing banks or financial investors
- analysis of the organisational culture
- Adaptation of the organisational culture
As every Merger & Acquisition has its own distinct character, we will work together with you to produce a made to measure catalogue of tasks. The processing of these tasks logically follows a successful Merger & Acquisition. Our list of Post Deal Services is, therefore, not comprehensive and items which are of importance to you can be added at any time.

Lindsay Coleman Howard (March 31, 1904 - September 6, 1971) was an American sportsman. The son of the prominent businessman and Thoroughbred racehorse owner, Charles S. Howard, Lindsay Howard began riding horses at a young age and by the early 1930s had developed into a top class polo player. He captained the San Mateo Hurricanes that played in the Pacific Coast Inter-circuit Cup Polo Championship against such teams as the Midwick Country Club, captained by Neil McCarthy.[1] Lindsay Howard and his brother Robert frequently played matches in Argentina, the polo capital of the world, and they and friend Bing Crosby decided to establish "Caballeriza Binglin Stock Farm" near Buenos Aires where they purchased a number of locally bred horses and shipped them back to the United States.
In the latter part of the 1930s. Lindsay Howard became nationally known when he and Bing Crosby bought and raced horses together under the name Binglin Stable. [2] at the same time as his father Charles Howard owned the superstar runner, Seabiscuit. In 1939 Lindsay Howard took over as trainer of the Binglin racing stable. [3] The Binglin Stable partnership came to an end in 1953 as a result of a liquidation of assets by Bing Crosby in order to raise the funds necessary to pay the federal and state inheritance taxes on his deceased wife's estate. [4]
In 1925, Lindsay Howard married Anita Zabala of Salinas, California, a descendant of one of California's first Spanish families. The couple had three children before divorcing in 1938. Howard served with the United States Army, rising to the rank of Captain. The divorce involved much bitterness and on December 13, 1943, Lindsay Howard faced a court martial for conduct unbecoming an officer. [5] The charges were brought against him a result of his missed alimony payments but in the military trial he was acquitted. Anita Howard remarried to George Vanderbilt. In 1940, Lindsay Howard married a second time to actress Judith Barrett with whom he had two children before their much publicized divorced in 1952.
Lindsay Howard died in 1971 at age sixty-seven at his home in Moorpark, California.

What does it mean when someone is said to have dementia? For some people, the word conjures up scary images of "crazy" behavior and loss of control. In fact, the word dementia describes a group of symptoms that includes short-term memory loss, confusion, the inability to problem-solve, the inability to complete multi-step activities such as preparing a meal or balancing a checkbook, and, sometimes, personality changes or unusual behavior.
[This new fact sheet replaces Helping Families Make Everyday Care Choices and Community Care Options, 8/11/16]
The diagnosis of a dementing illness or disabling health condition marks a new stage in your life and your family's life. Important decisions about care arise, along with uncertainty and anxiety. Some choices might need to be made right away. Others lie ahead.
Yesterday's blog post (November 29, 2015) was a pictorial essay "I Am a Caregiver for my __________" with families filling in the blank with their relatives - wives, brothers, mothers, fathers, and others dear to them. Entitled Let's put a face on caregiving!, it is the faces and stories of the families Family Caregiver Alliance (FCA) supports throughout the years by giving practical advice, teaching a skill, finding a resource, or just listening and acknowledging one's caregiving journey.
Beyond the most intimate physical dimensions of providing care for a loved one, informal caregivers often struggle with the attendant issues of communication in caregiving, ranging from managing complex family relationships to establishing routines of self-care to navigating the unfamiliar dynamics of working alongside healthcare professionals.
We know that some memory loss is associated with getting older. We forget someone's name, where we put the keys, the date. But if memory loss is becoming troublesome, and you notice that it's happening more and more, you may have what's known as mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
This fact sheet provides information about MCI, practical tips for coping with its effects, and suggestions for how family members or friends can help.
Nearly 3.5 million Americans over 40 have some degree of vision loss, most commonly from age-related conditions. This number is expected to double in the next few decades as the baby boomers grow older.
Most people with age-related vision loss will not become completely blind; instead they will experience partial or moderate loss of vision. They may need to develop new skills to remain self-reliant. This fact sheet discusses age-related vision loss and how you, as a caregiver, can help your loved one adjust to the challenges.
The following Fact Sheet is available as downloadable PDF document. To view and print this file you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader. It is available as a free download by clicking here.
Programs included here were selected for their well recognized contributions to the support of families in their caregiving role. Many of these programs are considered to be authorities in their fields and have been replicated widely. In addition, programs:

Very nice park, sites were clean and roomy, shower and bath house very undated with tile throughout. Only had 3 comodes in men's and womans had 4, showers were very nice but you never knew if you were going to have a warm or cold shower, pressure poor. Had to lput the shower handle to get them to work. Most of our trip the showers were barely warm. The play area and pool were nice and large. The Hot tub just warm at best. But we would stay here again. Got Satellite signal okay. - snoopy216

Bay Shore was a decent campground. The playground is older, but we liked the concrete pads on each site. They charge extra for air conditioning which we never even used but oh well. Some our family members really love Bayshore but we thought it wasn't anything special. - Ilove2camp

We have been camping here for 5 years. This year we decided to get a seasonal site here. Best decision yet. This gentleman runs a very clean campground. He doesn't put up with shenanigans of any sort. The restrooms are spotless. There are lots of fun activities. They have at least one band a month in the summer months. July had two bands. This weekend is Mardi Gras weekend and there will be two bands playing on Saturday afternoon and evening! We've made some good friends and every weekend is a blast! - KellyK

Pymatuning State Park is not like the other Ohio State Parks we have visited. Most spots are taken up by seasonal campers. Many sites are 20 amp, some are 30 amp, and a few are 50 amp full hook up. Most sites are not adequate for our 35' motor home. The spots are too short and not level. However, we stayed in the pull thru spots (1-7) and were quite comfortable. There was shade on our spot so we didn't need the 50 amp service to run the two air conditioners. The park is clean, well patrolled, and quiet. I would camp here again. - Tammy7

Stayed in a walk-in RV campsite for a week or so before July 4th weekend and through July 4th weekend and a few days later.
First impressions of a campground start at the office personnel. The staff at Pymatuning State Park, OH side were extremely friendly and accommodating. No matter what time of day, even amidst other customers yelling at them, they were very friendly and patient.
Not only were the staff friendly but so were the seasonals. Just about all of them would make small talk or say hi when walking by.
The campground is huge with a ton of families. Lots of children, which my children enjoyed. Most of the kids seemed to get along just fine no matter where they were from; be it Cleveland or rural areas.
The bathrooms were a little beat up structurally, but clean, with lots of hot and high water pressure. There are many places to find drinkable water to include filling the RV's fresh water tank. Many accessible dump stations. A ton of playgrounds. The beach was a little small but it didn't matter with the kids. Lots of fishing from the lakeshore.
4th of July weekend was a blast with fireworks being launched along lakeshore. They even had an outdoor movie theater playing Disney type movies. Lots of happy energy that weekend. Every weekend had many families with children. Even mid-week was full of families with children.
Wifi was rocking from the camp office if the RV wasn't more than 3 or 4 rows down toward the lake, else you need some kind of range booster to pick-up the wifi.
We really enjoyed the vibe of the campground and general area. Just an easy going laid back feel.
It's the kind of campground that you want to return to.
The only negative I observed was the park ranger/police guy. He seemed to be looking to harass people, but other than that it's a near 10. - mynyel

Price reflects TRA membership. This is our third year visiting this campground. Three years ago our grandchildren had a ball; indoor & outdoor pool, paddle boats, miniature golf and even a water park. Last year, as reflected in the previous review, everything was gone except the outdoor pool. This year the outdoor pool was closed for repairs there is absolutely nothing for families to do. Needless to say we will not be returning. - TheBounders

This is one of the nicest campgrounds we have stayed at. There are a lot of seasonal campers but everything is so well kept. Everything was well groomed and clean, we loved walking the campground and seeing the landscaping of the seasonal sites. The staff was very helpful and kind. We will definitely stay here again. - PWMC58

This campground is mostly seasonal but all the sites are very nicely maintained. One of the nicest seasonal campgrounds that we have seen. They have about 5 pull thru sites that they use for short term stays. Everything was clean and well groomed. We visited friends in the local area so didn't really use too much the campground had to offer. Owners live on site and were very friendly and helpful. We had plenty of room. - D&K

This was our first trip in our RV. The owners greeted us upon our arrival and escorted us to our site. Staff stayed with us until we were level and hooked up to the water and electric. There was heavy rain the day we arrived to the point that there was local flooding in some areas. We were still able to walk around the grounds without too much difficulty, athough some sites were waterlogged. Bath houses could use updating. Pool was clean and clear but weather prevented us from using it. Only complaint was a camper came in and reversed parked in the pull through site next to us with their door facing ours. The camp ground could have moved them over a site or two but put them next to us. Prior to departure a honey truck service was provided to empty our tanks. Owners were very friendly and helpful. There were a large amount of seasonal sites at this campground. - dpgllg

Rate reflects Coast to Coast plus friend rate. Check-in was delayed because electric gate was down and no one was in the guard house. Another camper behind me came up to tell me that I had to press a button to get an answer. Once in, the check-in at the office was easy.
We were directed to the camping area that is advertised as pull-through. It is pull-through only if there is not another camper on the other end of your site. It is "first come, first serve" and many campers had taken too much space, so that limited the options on which sites were actually usable. Available sites were back-in, so unhooking the toad was mandatory.
Our neighbors at the site informed us that another motor home had pulled into the site and left after a short time. We soon learned why. Hooking up to the water was an ordeal because the wooden support for the hose bibs had rotted off at ground level so that left the outlet hose as the only support for four outlets. The 30 amp service was not usable. Measured voltage was only 103 volts at the pedestal. Attempting to change the refrigerator from gas to electric reduced the voltage in the motorhome to 85 volts. Clearly, the attempted use for the AC unit would probably damage the unit.
Complaints to management resulted in them reassigning us to a different section of the campground, with the caveat being that they couldn't promise anything. We inspected the newly assigned sites and they were normal household 20 amp receptacles. Before moving the unit, I measured the voltage which was only 104 Volts.
It was clear that staying at this campground was not a viable option, given the temperature and the need to use our normal appliances without risking damage to them.
This campground was well kept for the permanent residents. The section for others was anything but that. The grass needed mowing and the water and electric service was abysmal.
We left and will never visit this campground again. - Lakewood90

After looking at the website for Millbrook RV Resort, we drove 1 1/2 hours to check out the facility in person before driving our Class A there. Upon arrival we learned that this is a CAMP COAST TO COAST park and is NOT open to the public. Don't waste your time driving to this park if you aren't a member. - Tammy7

Rate reflects RPI rate. Nice park, lots of long term residents but sites are kept neat and tidy. No junk laying around. We do not understand why there are no sewer hook ups. Not even for the long term spots. Everyone was having to use their 'blue boys'. We were there for only two nights and probably will not return. - User2209

The lady at check in was wonderful, cheerful, and super helpful. My site was loaded with dog poop, including in my fire pit. I enjoy camping with dogs, and do not understand irresponsible owners my flight was loaded with dog poop not including in my fire pit. The site should have been looked at by staff. Camp host were nowhere to be seen in the 3 days I was here. Bathrooms were OK. Could use some bleach but generally OK. Price kind of high for what it is. - TwoDogsCamping

This is a huge (600 sites?) campground located about 20 miles off I-77 on Pymatuning Reservoir. Camping with pets is allowed in two of the loops (100-150 and 201-252). We were here on a Monday night and it looked as if the weekend had been busy. There had also been a windstorm the previous Thursday that blew down trees and limbs. We chose a site off the lakeside because it was level and we did not have to unhitch. The site had not been swept and I cleaned up paper towels and other trash. The fire-ring was filthy with partially burned food and trash. We walked around the loop before deciding to stay, but other sites were not any cleaner. The restroom and showers appeared to be clean. The camphost did not return our greeting then or the next morning, just looked away when we spoke to him. Despite all this, we would stay here again. It is a pretty place that is under maintained, but this may be due to budgetary problems. The office staff was very helpful and we had a good night's sleep. - canoeperson

Beautiful park with large, level campsites. We had a great view of Pymatuning Lake and enjoyed watching the boaters out cruising and kids splashing in the swimming area. Each area of the campground has a restroom/shower and laundry facilities just a short walk away. We had a satellite friendly site but were also able to pick up quite a few local stations over the air. Our Verizon had a strong signal so using the phone or MiFi wasn't a problem. I would highly recommend this campground to anyone looking for a family friendly place for reunions or other such gatherings. Take note though: The Jamestown Campground is located 2 1/2 miles from the Pymatuning State Park headquarters. If you call the park you can get the exact address for your gps. - windjamming

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I am following the "Road Racing for Serious Runners" 5k on more than 40 miles per week plan.
Next week I have to run 12 * 200 as a basic speed work out.
I cant get my head around how fast I should run these reps and what sort of rest to take. I have looked through the book a couple of times but I still have not figured it out.
Help please!
I used to do a similar session which was 20 times 200 off the same recovery - when I say the same - if the 200 was 40 seconds then 40 seconds recovery - for that reason they were not flat out - the goal is to run 12 not - I used to watch Sally Gunnell and a couple of others do far fewer reps but a lot quicker but then the recovery was 6 minutes - I would go for not flat out but with an equal recovery - it is quite a hard session anyway.
12 * 200 for 5k would be at 1500m pace. Jog 100m (45 seconds) as recovery.
Thanks I will probably go for somthing around 1500m pace as suggesested.
I think 1500 pace might be a bit tough first time out, especially with a 45 seconds recovery. Assuming you are going to do this session more than once, I would maybe start the first session off at 3k pace and build the pace up to 1500 pace as the session progresses. Assuming you come through that ok and feel like you can do more, then next time start out at 1500 pace and blast the session.
On on on……
Thanks YD thats good advice but I am not worried about the speed I find speed work easier than VO2 max or Threshold running. Its all tough but speed comes a little easier. Threshold is definatley the toughest for me
Fair enough OW, there is an element of VO2Max about the 12 x 200 session, especially with shorter recoveries, you will be blowing towards the end of the session. For most runners of 'club runner' standard, the best pace to ring the VO2Max bell is about 3k pace. So you can see how the session you describe has some overlap with a genuine vo2max session like 10 x 400 with short recoveries.
If you find threshold work tough, then you should do more of it, just saying
YD I wonder then if I should be doing longer recoveries as it is down as a speed session rather than vo2 max. mmmm confused again, LOL
To be clear the training program has
Basic speed (100 or 200 efforts)
Vo2 Max 400 - 1k around 5k pace.
Tempo running 2 * 2 miles or longer.
Long run 1
Long run 2
fill in the rest with slow runs.
If the session is about pure speed then I think you should maybe consider increasing the recoveries and maybe run less reps. I am not a middle distance expert, so you might be better getting pure speed session advice from someone who works on that.
If the plan says, 12 x 200m then stick with it, there is nothing wrong with sessions that have elements of two different workout types. So, if the session is about making you comfortable at faster than 5k speed with an element of vo2max work then go with it.
For what it's worth, 5k running isn't all that quick in the spectrum of running paces, you are going nowhere near your top speed during a 5k race with the exception of a burst before the line, it's just most people run 10ks and Marathons so are used to running slower.
Hadn't, seen your post with the schedule breakdown. Go with the plan, make the recoveries between the 200s longer and concentrate on speed and good running form. 1500 - 1mile pace sounds about right.
Good luck.
On a side note, the Smiley face badge is my favourite, we should go back to that IMO. Better than the shite badge at the moment.
Cheers YD. All sensible advice. I should be able to work it out myself really but I have never trained for 5k before. Done 10k - Marathon. 5k's have always been sharpeners rather than training for one in its own right.
great thread. im training for 1500m race in 2 months, how fast should i be looking at doing the 200m reps and how much recovery? thanks
Not sure Cliff quicker then my 1500m pace and probably with longer rests but not sure exactly how quick or how long. Maybe 400 or 800 pace with nie big breaks of say 5 minutes. Thats a guess though rather than any knowledge of how to train for a 1500.
Thanks everyone. Did the run today it was hard but I am sure it was a good session. YD you were right it was still VO2 max workout too. I had to do it in a lunch break so not enough time to take longer breaks and make it even more of a pure speed session.
Good stuff OW, sounds like a good session. IMO VO2max sessions will help your 5k performance quite a bit. If you have the time anytime soon I would do it again with longer recoveries so that you can compare results.
Off topic, but impressed by McDermott so far. Think next season could be good if he gets a bit of money to fetch a few players in. I might even lift my self imposed exile and go to a game. Stopped going because of Bates last year.
YD, will do the session again this week, probably will not take your advice on the longer breaks but only because I will squeeze it into a lunch hour.
I never went to one Game this season either. Rubbish results since your last post

Lateral shearing interferometry for analysis of tear film surface kinetics
Szezesna, Dorota & Iskander, D. Robert (2010) Lateral shearing interferometry for analysis of tear film surface kinetics. Optometry and Vision Science, 87(7), pp. 513-517.
Purpose: To date, there have been no measuring techniques available that could clearly identify all phases of tear film surface kinetics in one interblink interval. ----- -----
Methods: Using a series of cases, we show that lateral shearing interferometry equipped with a set of robust parameter estimation techniques is able to characterize up to five different phases of tear film surface kinetics that include: (i) initial fast tear film build-up phase, (ii) further slower tear film build-up phase, (iii) tear film stability, (iv) tear film thinning, and (v), after a detected break-up, subsequent tear film deterioration. ----- -----
Results: Several representative examples are given for estimating tear film surface kinetics in measurements in which the subjects were asked to blink and keep their eyes open as long as they could. ----- -----
Conclusions: Lateral shearing interferometry is a noninvasive technique that provides means for temporal characterization of tear film surface kinetics and the opportunity for the analysis of the two-step tear film build-up process.

Wrap Bracelets are amazing fashion statement. This style comes in many kinds. There is the single wrap, the double wrap (wraps around the wrist two times) and it can go as many as four or five wraps. It can be beaded, braided, knotted and the list goes on. You can use leather, hemp, nylon and even yarn. As it is called, wrap bracelets wrap around the wrist as oppose to the traditional bracelets that hang loosely around the wrist.
This is one of the ways to create a single wrap bracelet. For this style, I used nylon.
In this style, I chose to use small gold beads as additional embellishments. This is not a necessity.
Continue to thread the beads. To lock the beads more securely at the end of the bracelet, repeat the threading process going back as far as the third or fourth bead. You will feel the beads become strongly attach to the cord as you double the threading process.

Memphis rap has been on the up and up for the past several years. Veteran groups like 8 Ball and MJG and Three Six Mafia carved lanes for young rappers in the city of Memphis to prosper and make noise. We've seen several notable acts have moderate to even overwhelming success. Young Buck emerged in the early 2000's as a primetime threat, while Yo Gotti has watched his career take off because of his string of hits.

USC Closes Out Road Trip At Utah Saturday
Jan. 11, 2013
USC (6-10, 1-2) will be at Utah (8-7, 0-3) at the Jon M. Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City, Utah on Jan. 12 at 4 p.m. (MT). This is the first game at Utah for USC since the Runnin' Utes joined the conference last season. USC is 2-2 in its last four games, but has lost its last 14 road contests, including 10 straight Pac-12 road games.
January 28, 2012
Galen Center
COMEBACK FALLS SHORT AT COLORADO -- Colorado outscored USC 24-6 over the final 10 minutes of the first half to take a 15-point lead into the break and then withstood a Trojan comeback for a 66-60 win at the Coors Events Center in Boulder, Colo. on Jan. 10. USC began the second half on a 10-2 run despite Jio Fontan having to remain on the bench due to a strained intercostal muscle, but Colorado responded with a 14-4 run to extend the lead to 17. USC was not done yet, however, cutting the lead to 66-60 with 14 seconds left and forced a turnover, but missed two shots.
OREGON ON DECK -- Oregon (13-2, 2-0) is coming off a 70-66 home win vs. Arizona on Jan. 10 and will host Arizona State on Jan. 13 before traveling to Los Angeles to face the Trojans on Jan. 17 at 8 p.m. Oregon is second in the conference in scoring at 77.0 points per game, but its balanced attack is led in by freshman Damyean Dotson who is averaging 11.6 points per game.
NOT SO FUNNY MATH... -- USC has made 27 more field goals that its opponents this season, yet has been outscored by 21 points. USC's opponents have made 102 three-pointers to the Trojans' 75 and have made 48 more free throws. In seven of the last eight games USC has had as many or more baskets as its opponents, yet is 3-5 in that stretch. USC has also had as many or more baskets in five of the 10 losses this season.
DEFENSE TIGHTENING -- USC has held the opposition to an average of 59.9 points over the last seven games, after surrendering an average of 67.9 points in the first nine games.
GUARDING THE LINE -- USC has allowed the opposition to make 37.5 percent of its three-point attempts this season, but has made adjustments and is holding opponents to 31.7 percent from beyond the arc in the last eight games (38-for-120). In the first eight games USC's opponents made 42.1 percent of its three-point shots.
THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD -- USC's 66-60 loss at Colorado on Jan. 10 extended the Trojans' road losing streak to 14 games. USC's last road win was on Nov. 30, 2011 at UC Riverside. The Trojans lost their last 10 road games in the 2011-12 season and have lost at Nebraska, at New Mexico, at Georgia and at Colorado this season. USC has lost its last 10 conference road games, last winning the final road game of the 2010-11 season (March 5, 2011 at Washington).
FONTAN UPDATE -- USC point guard Jio Fontan suffered a strained intercostal muscle at the shootaround on Jan. 10 in Boulder, Colo. He tried to play in the game later that night, but sat out the second half. He had three assists, three turnovers and no shots in 16 minutes.
A FOUL SITUATION -- In the first three Pac-12 games, USC has been called for 23 more fouls (65-42) and has been outshot 75-44 from the free throw line.
THREES ARE THE KEYS -- In USC's 10 losses this season, the opposition has made 72 of 168 three-pointers for a 42.9 shooting percentage from beyond the arc. In six of the 10 losses, USC allowed the opposition to make at least six three-pointers, Illinois (13), San Diego State (7), Nebraska (11), New Mexico (11), Minnesota (6) and UC Irvine (9). In USC's six wins, the opponents have made 28.8 percent of their three-point shots (30-for-104).
SLOW STARTS, STRONG FINISHES -- USC has been outscored 536-463 in the first half, while winning the second halves and overtime by a combined score of 546-494. USC has also been outrebounded by 33 in the first half of games, while owning a 44-rebound edge in the second half. The same can be said about the turnover category where USC has 122 in the first half of games and 97 in the second half. The biggest descrepancy is on the defensive side, where USC has allowed opposition teams to shoot 45.4 percent in the first half (197-for-434), including a 43.6 percentage from three-point range (61-for-140), while holding them to a 36.7 FG percentage (153-for-417) and a 31.1 three-point FG percentage (41-for-132) in the second half and overtime of games.
ORABY STREAKING AROUND THE BLOCK -- Center Omar Oraby had one block at Colorado on Jan. 10 to extend his streak of games with at least one block to 14. It is the longest streak by a Trojan since Taj Gibson registered a block in 46 consecutive games. He has 27 blocks are second on the team and he leads the team with a 40-minute prorated scoring average of 19.6. Oraby was 7-for-9 and scored 15 points vs. Minnesota on Dec. 8, with all of his points coming from inside the paint in the second half of the game. He made his first start on Dec. 15 vs. UCR and scored 7 points on 2-for-3 shooting. Orabay scored a team-high 14 points at Georgia on Dec. 22 and added 11 rebounds for his first double-double as a Trojan and fourth of his career. Oraby has made 63.5 percent (47-for-74) of his shots this season and has averaged 7.7 points while playing 15.6 minutes per game. He has averaged 9.5 points (76 total) and 6.1 rebounds (49 rebounds) in the last 8 games.

Why they can charge this much for a site is beyond me, unless you are into wine, there is not much in the area.

Videohive Projects Using My Music
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by.
I live in Salt Lake City UT USA and have been producing music for about 10 years now. Its my life's passion and I'm very grateful to be able to make money with it.
A little shameless vanity: My music has been played on ABC, MTV, TLC, HBO, TNT, OWN and other networks, as well as used by hundreds of corporations, commercials and trailers.
VideoHive Artists! Your free to use any of my tracks, just let me know and I'll paste a link to the video you use it in.
Again thank you so much for stopping by, your the reason I get to do what I love!...even if you don't use anything today, hopefully you'll be back

Granted that we're not surprised with Bing being the default one in use by the platform, you can actually change it to Google under the IE9 settings menu. For long time user of the platform, this might be seen as a foreign concept – especially when Bing is ingrained deeply with the mobile platform. Nevertheless, it's still nice giving users the opportunity of which one to choose.
So far, there's no exact reasoning as to why this option is only available on the Mango flavored HTC HD7 for T-Mobile only. Still, the rest of us sporting Mango will have to make due with Bing as the primary and mandatory option for now.
