ROME, Feb. 13 (Xinhua) -- Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta made a flash announcement to resign on Thursday after his own Democratic Party voted for government change and speedier reforms, paving the way for the party's leader Matteo Renzi to take over.
Renzi announced to withdraw support for Letta at a much-awaited party assembly, saying a new government was the only option left for the much-needed reforms. The party approved government change with 136 votes to 16.
Later Thursday, Letta announced that he would tender his resignation to President Giorgio Napolitano on Friday following the decision of his party. It will be up to Napolitano to mandate a new government, as provided for in the Constitution.
"Until Saturday, Renzi had put the re-launch of the Letta government in first place. What made him change his mind remains a mystery to many," said Sebastiano Messina, a political commentator at la Repubblica newspaper.
"The facts of the last hours, however, showed that the two men had a personal incompatibility that impeded a collaboration," he told Xinhua.
For weeks Renzi, the 39-year-old ambitious mayor of Florence, had been piling pressure on Letta, 47. But he had always denied speculation of a government reshuffle or power handover.
"He changed his mind when he found himself in a cul-de-sac,"said Peter Gomez, co-founder and columnist of Il Fatto Quotidiano newspaper.
"The Letta government was having difficulties in introducing the reforms, and Renzi risked to pay for his party fellow's failure," Gomez told Xinhua.
Unemployment in Italy has climbed to its highest level in 40 years and its economy has shrunk by 9 percent in seven years. Whether the upcoming Renzi-led government, which is likely to be supported by Letta's same coalition, would manage to do meaningful reforms is a "real question," said Gomez.
Angelino Alfano, the leader of the center-right group that split from former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's party and shares power in government with the center-left Democratic Party, said he will say yes to the birth of a new government on condition that Renzi will consider his political allies' positions.
The opposition party of Berlusconi Forza Italia also called on the upcoming government to respect the deal with it on the proposed electoral law. The agreement on reforms with Berlusconi could be a wild card for the Renzi government, Messina said.
Though being ineligible under an anti-corruption law following his definitive tax fraud conviction, Berlusconi was still leading Forza Italia behind the curtain.
There was a possibility, however, that the minor parties in the coalition would support the Renzi government until 2018, Gomez noted. Renzi's move to govern Italy for the next four years was a "hope" as well as a "bet," he stressed.
Italy centre-left party leader asks for a new gov't
ROME, Feb. 13 (Xinhua) -- Italy's centre-left Democratic Party (PD) asked for an urgent change of government to give a boost to reforms on Thursday, in a decision that could trigger the resignation of Prime Minister Enrico Letta.
"The Democratic Party asks for a change of government," PD leader Matteo Renzi said during a live-streamed crisis meeting the party leadership group held in Rome.Full story
News Analysis: Letta-Renzi showdown holds Italy's political future in balance
ROME, Feb. 12 (Xinhua) -- A change of government could be in the cards after attempts at reaching a political detente between Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta and Florence mayor center-left leader Matteo Renzi failed to yield any progress.
The increasingly acrimonious relationship between the two men is unusual because they are members of the same political party. But Renzi's rising political star and the deadlock that has crippled the Letta government's ability to pass meaningful reform have set up the possibility of a kind of negotiated change in government not seen in Italy in decades.Full story

Bella Thompson Michael Jayston ... Brian Kim Novak ... Auriol Pageant Description: Essentially a reworking of their earlier omnibus Asylum, this is another anthology of pulp horror tales from Amicus, this one helmed by the ever-reliable Freddie Francis. It features a quartet of eerie vignettes involving four patients in the care of psychiatrist Dr. Tremayne (Donald Pleasence), who is attempting to justify his strange theories to a colleague (Jack Hawkins, who died shortly after his scenes were filmed) by explaining the horrific events that drove the patients to their current state. The first tale centers on a young boy (Russell Lewis), whose parents' constant squabbling prompts him to conjure an imaginary tiger to devour them. The second involves a Victorian-era bicycle which allows its finder (Peter McEnery) to travel back in time and live as his own ancestor. The goofy third chapter pits a jealous wife (Joan Collins) against a strange rival for her husband's attention: a tree possessed by a human soul. The final segment stars Kim Novak (a last-minute replacement for Rita Hayworth) as a literary agent who must sacrifice her own daughter (Mary Tamm) to appease the restless spirit of her client's mother. Although certainly not the studio's best effort, this is still an amusing diversion, featuring the standard twist ending and a flamboyant approach suggestive of EC horror comics.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Stay far away from this person.
We started with this company in 2007 referred to us by another person who used to work with them. Like any transactions, everything was put in good faith at the beginning. We signed papers including a POA with them to transact business for us with GOOD FAITH that they will help us. In return we have to pay them monthly AS A RENT to postpone your deed of sale. But they don't pay anything to your monthly mortgages. Meaning, your monthly mortgage will continue on top of the monthly rent you are paying them. Then came the loan modification programs, to which they strongly discouraged us to do, because they said "what for, you will be paying the same amount of mortgage before you went to us to help you". Until the time when we wanted to get out of their service, they wont release our title unless you pay them of a certain amount they want to charge you. We were surprised, also to find out that the power of attorney that we signed, which we never saw and they claimed will just be used to transact business with the mortgage bank was written as IRREVOCABLE, meaning they will do everything not to let go of the property you signed up with them. The person who referred us to them on the other hand advised us to get out of their service since they themselves were not able to save her house. At the very end, we lost our house, because we could not have them release our title which they want to get paid first before doing so which is an impossible amount on top of the monthly payment they received from us. If you are gonna check legally, yes they are holding all legal papers, but its expensive to hire a real estate lawyer, so we decided just to let go of this property. My advise is, for you to study all the papers that you will sign from them first. They will outsmart you, but because you are in dire need, you will believe everything that they will say. And the best thing also to do is to speak to your lender directly and talk to them. There are a lot of programs available that could help people facing foreclosure. Stay away from this company as much as possible.
She profits from the proceeds of rent from your property. Stay away. This is fraud.

Sierra Cantabria Reserva Unica 2008
Tempranillo from Rioja, Spain
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "Even better is the outstanding, Pomerol-like 2008 Reserva Unica, which is made from 97% Tempranillo and 3% Graciano, aged nearly two years in a combination of French and American oak. An unfiltered selection of the estate's finest barrels, it offers up scents of wet gravel, scorched earth, sweet black currants, plums and hints of mocha and white chocolate. This lush, medium to full-bodied, layered, sexy..."
International Wine Cellar - "Vivid ruby. High-pitched aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry and spicecake are complemented by a subtle smoky nuance. Zesty, precise sweet red berry flavors display very good depth and focus. Picks up a note of allspice with air and finishes with silky tannins and very good persistence."
Wine Spectator - "This round red delivers toasty and smoky notes around a core of cherry and coffee flavors, with accents of dried herbs and spices. Well-balanced, featuring integrated tannins and good acidity."

Sierra Cantabria Winery
Founded by Guillermo Eguren, who is a self-made "bodeguero", coming from a family tradition of vine growers. Today, the fourth generation of the Eguren family, Marcos Eguren, is the winemaker and director of the winery. Sierra Cantabria has come to the forefront of Spanish wineries in the last 15 years. This is from the extreme care that they give to their vineyards, located in the best terrain of Rioja, the savoir-faire of Marcos Eguren, and his price-conscious policies. Vineyards are located in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, one of the most famous towns in Rioja, known for the quality of its grapes. The grapes are sourced on 267 acres (108 ha), from 1,440-1,740 ft. above sea level (480-580 m), spread among the towns of San Vicente de la Sonsierra, Labastida, and Laguardia. The proportions of grapes are 91% Tempranillo, 3% Malvasia, and 6% Viura. 75% of the production comes from their own vineyards, the rest they buy from local growers. They have been doing ecologically conscious agriculture in their own vineyards for the last 12 years. Average production 0.5 t/acre (hectare is 5,000 kg). The soil is composed of Clay-lime, the best soil of Rioja. The climate is Continental, with the influence of winds from the Atlantic, but protected from more severe weather by the Sierra Cantabria Mountains View all Sierra Cantabria Wines
About RiojaView a map of Rioja wineries (ree-OH-hah) Spain makes some of the best Tempranillo-based wines in the world. Once the only DOCa (recently joined by Priorat in 2001), Rioja is divided into 3 sub-regions: Rioja Baja, Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa. There are 4 red varieties and 3 white varieties allowed in the Rioja DOC. Tempranillo definitely takes center stage, followed by Garnacha (Grenache), which is sometimes added for body, then Graciano and Mazuelo (Carignan). The region also makes roses. For whites, the main grape is Viura (or Macebo), producing fresh, early-drinking wines. Malvasia, the grape that was once the most planted white, is found less often.
Notable FactsThe Rioja wine trade is somewhat confusing. Grapes are typically brought to a merchant's bodega from one of the 20,000+ growers in the region, or via a cooperative. The wine is then bottled and labelled by that bodega. Rioja's Consejo Regulador keeps track of all vineyards and bodegas to make sure they are following the DOCa regulations. Put in place to ensure quality, the system also controls prices.
As with the rest of Spain, the wine label may state Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva, depending on barrel & bottle maturation. Crianzas are usually found within two years of the vintage and offer fresh, ripe wines. Reserva and Gran Reserva will be found a few years after the vintage, as the bodega will be aging the wines in barrel and bottle before release. Both typically show more secondary characteristics of spice and oak ageing.
About Spain
The most popular red varieties of Spain include Tempranillo and Garnacha (Grenache). Whites don't garner quite as much recognition, but there are some regional varieties not to be missed, like Albarino and Verdejo. The popular red regions of Spain include Rioja, known for its outstanding wines of the Tempranillo grape; Ribera del Duero, producing high quality reds from Tempranillo and Garnacha; Galacia, with the sub-region of Rias Baixas, home to the deliciously crisp and floral Albarino grape; and Priorat, a region increasing in popularity with its high-quality cult reds. Other regions of note are Rueda, growing the Verdejo grape, La Mancha, a wide desert region, covered in the most planted white variety in the world, Airen, and Jumilla, making wines based on Monastrell (Mourvedre).
Spain's wine laws are based on the Denominacion de Origen (DO) classification system, devised in the 1930's. A four tiered system, the most basic level is Vina de Mesa (table wine) followed by Vino de la Tierra (country wine), DO and at the top DOC. Currently, only Rioja and Priorat have DOC status, while over 65 DO's scatter the country.
Most DO regions are classified and regulated by how long they age the wines. On a red wine label, one may find the terms Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva, denoting the wine's barrel and bottle time. Crianza is usually two years between barrel and bottle (the time in each depends on the DO and/or the winemaker), Reserva up to 4 years and Gran Reserva 5 – 6 years. Classifications of each region and wine are controlled by the region's Consejo Regulador.

(145.72 kB) By the spring of 2008, the expanding cut — nibbling its way from right to left in this aerial shot — had already claimed nine cottages and was only days from finishing off the last survivors. Most were moved to relative safety several hundred yards to the north, but the second structure from the right, partially buried in sand by a winter storm, was deemed too far gone to save. When a northeast storm cut a new opening through a barrier beach in the Cape Cod community of Chatham, Mass., in April 2007, owners of seasonal cottages on the narrow strip of sand were dismayed but not surprised: North Beach, as it's locally known, is in a continuous — and sometimes dramatic — state of flux. In 1987, a similar cut two miles to the south left a previously protected expanse of the bay shore exposed to the full force of ocean storms; 10 year-round mainland homes were destroyed as a result.Despite hopeful predictions that the 2007 cut would fill in over time, it grew steadily wider and deeper through the summer and fall. By late winter, it had swallowed up two structures and forced the teardown of seven others. But in March of this year, Chatham attorney William Hammatt — who owns the northernmost and best-protected cottage on the... Login or Register to read the full article.

Exclusion from residence is not a possible penalty under this stage of the procedure.
• The decision and any penalties will be confirmed in writing.
• Fines imposed must be paid within ten working days of the date of the written notification; failure to do so can lead to a doubling of the fine. It should be noted that unpaid College fines are officially debts to the University and are covered by University procedures.
• The accused may ask for the case to be referred to the College Disciplinary Committee at any time within this stage of the procedure.
• The Dean may refer the case to the College Disciplinary Committee if they believe that the additional powers of that committee might be appropriate (eg. Exclusion from residence).

Written evidence can be accepted with the agreement of the Committee Members.
• A simple majority verdict is sufficient to reach a decision. The chair shall have casting vote if required to establish a majority
• Fines imposed by the committee must be paid within fourteen days; failure to do so can lead to the doubling or the fine. It should be noted that unpaid College fines are officially debts to the University and are covered by University procedures.

Man killed, police dog injured after standoff
Beaumont man killed by sharp shooters as he tried to threaten wife and child
BEAUMONT, Calif. - Authorities say a Riverside County man was shot and killed by SWAT officers after he shot and wounded a police dog.
Investigators say Chandler Cardwell, 38, was threatening to kill his wife and child yesterday morning.
Officers were called to his home on the 17000 block of Morgan Avenue near Interstate 10.
Sheriff's deputy Albert Martinez says Beaumont officers found Cardwell outside the home. He avoided contact with authorities by going into the garage.
The California Highway Patrol was called for backup, and arrived with a canine unit.
A dog was sent into the garage and was shot, and was able to return to its handler before being taken to a veterinary clinic.
After hours of failed negotiations, SWAT officers arrived and say they shot Cardwell while he was trying to break into the residence.
California Highway Patrol Officer Darren Meyer said the police dog injured Tuesday is named Ranger.
Ranger is two and a half years old and was with it's handler for one year.
"The dog was shot in right shoulder," said Meyer. "The bullet exited it's front right elbow, then hit the ground and fragmented, causing injury to Ranger's rear paw," Meyer said. "The paw was not amputated, but a toe was."
Meyer said the dog was released from the veterinarian Tuesday night and is now home with his handler resting comfortably.
The prognosis for recovery is good he said, but it is now questionable as to whether dog will return to duty.

You may have thought that getting your driving licence was the tricky part, but the fun has only just started. Now you need to buy a car and, more crucially, get it insured. Forget dreams of Porsches and Ferraris for now; you need something that is cheap, cheerful, reliable (hopefully), safe and inexpensive to insure. We're talking no higher than group one insurance, which, given your limited experience, still won't be cheap. We've rooted around the great big virtual used car showroom that is the Internet and come up with list of cars that you should be able buy, run and insure relatively inexpensively.
Car: Year: 2004-present Prices from: £1,200-£7,800 Insurance group: 1
Fiat's Panda may not leave you aching with desire, but it's a very nice entry point into motoring. It's easy to drive, a cinch to park, and - even powered by the 1.1-litre engine you'll be limited to for group 1 insurance - reasonably brisk. It'll seat four comfortably, too. Prices start at around £1,200 for a high mileage six-year old example, or if your mum and dad are feeling generous the Panda is still available new at Fiat dealers. 'Top Gear's James May famously owns one. Though don't let that put you off...
Car: /Peugeot 107/Citroen C1 Year: 2005-present Prices from: £2,200-£10,500 Insurance group: 1
Around since 2005, the Toyota Aygo, Citroen C1 and Peugeot 107 triplets provide smart, inexpensive transportation. They might wear different badges and slightly different styling, but they're mechanically identical and they are all built at the same factory. We like the Toyota's styling best, though the Peugeot and Citroen should be a tiny bit cheaper second-hand. All attract group one insurance thanks to their 1.0-litre engine and yet they are surprisingly enjoyable to drive.
Car: Year: 2000-2007 Prices from: £1,000-£4,000 Insurance group: 1
It's a bit workmanlike inside, but the Skoda Fabia feels built to last. It's basically a VW Polo that the Czechs have re-engineered to their even tougher standards - Czech roads make ours look positively snooker-table smooth. If you can only afford group one insurance you're stuck with the 1.2-litre engine, but it does a decent enough job and won't use too much fuel. An eminently sensible choice, the Fabia is a cracking first car. If your friends start with the Skoda jokes, tell them to walk.
Car: Year: 2005-present Prices from: £1,300-£8,285 Insurance group: 1
This one's been around for a while, with the Matiz wearing Daewoo badges before it became a Chevrolet. It's a capable, inexpensive first car though, which is a doddle in town. For super cheap group one insurance you need the 800cc engine, which isn't the most refined or the quickest, but it's not without charm. Decent space inside and super cheap running costs are what count here, and the Matiz has both.
Car: Year: 2004-2007 Prices from: £1,700-£3,900 Insurance group: 1
The Smart Fortwo is exactly that, 'for two'. Forget taking any more than one of your friends anywhere, but the Smart has other talents. It's a doddle to park, is great in town and has an automatic gearbox - though the shift isn't much better than you probably managed the first time you drove a manual car. It's safe and strong, but if you're planning on longer journeys then we'd probably choose one of the other cars listed here - the Smart is at its best in the urban jungle.
Car: Year: 2007-2008 Prices from: £2,600-£4,800 Insurance group: 1
This may be the previous shape model, but the Clio Campus still looks sharp today. It's safe thanks to Renault's emphasis on Euro NCAP crash tests, and drives rather well too. There are a number of engine choices out there, but the 1.2 is the maximum if you're planning on getting group one insurance. Spacious, almost certainly reliable and decently equipped too, the Campus makes a good value first-time buy.
Car: Year: 2006-present Prices from: £3,000-£10,000 Insurance group: 1
An absolute mainstay among first-time owners, the Corsa is a fine, affordable choice. Plentiful too, with lots of choice on the used market. Forget anything more powerful than the 1.0-litre model if you want to be able to insure it. All versions provide peppy performance, while economy will be wallet and purse friendly too. As the Corsa is one of the newest cars on this list it's one of the safest.
Car: Year: 2008-present Prices from: £5,000-£10,000 Insurance group: 1
The Ford Fiesta is a great drive, and you get a slightly bigger engine than its obvious Vauxhall Corsa rival, even if the performance is almost identical. Like the Corsa you'll be limited to the entry-level model if you want the lowest insurance. The Fiesta is a great car, though being so new you'll need around £5,000 to buy a two-year old example.
Car: Year: 2006-present Prices from: £2,700-£8,600 Insurance group: 1
It might be a bit plain looking, but the Volkswagen Fox has the weight of that classy and desirable VW badge on its grille to give it credibility in the face of smarter styled rivals. The 1.2-litre engine is the only one that benefits from group one insurance, but it's a solid performer, both on the road and at the fuel pumps. The Fox is a fine first car purchase.
Car: Year: 2003-2009 Prices from: £1,500-£6,500 Insurance group: 1
The C2 replaced that other first car favourite in the Citroen line-up - the Saxo - and continues to offer much the same low running cost appeal. There's a lot of hard shiny plastic inside, but it's spacious for four - though the boot is tiny. Group one insurance is only available on the smallest 1.1-litre engine models, but it's a stylish, capable first car choice.

Coming-of-age film, "Take Me Home Tonight," goes – in the dumper, right from the get-go. And it won't be in theaters long, judging from the near-empty theater on a recent Sunday afternoon screening. It's the '80s. Math wiz Matt Franklin (Topher Grace) is wasting his life and MIT diploma, working in a video store, wallowing in an indecisive funk, reminiscent of "The Graduate." There, the similarity ends with that clarion-call-to-youth classic.
Directed and co-written by Michael Dowse, "Take Me Home" wants to be a wild party film, with Matt and his nutty friend, Barry (Dan Fogler), stealing a $59,000 car from a dealership and searching through a teen blow-out bash in LA for dreamgirl Tori (Teresa Palmer). Amidst all the drug-orgy stuff, a sweet underside surfaces in the form of genuine love between Matt and Tori. Like many Hollywood romantic comedies, the budding relationship is based on a lie, which comes back to bite the leading man in the buttocks …. case in point, the current Adam Sandler-Jennifer Aniston vehicle, "Just Go With It."
The plot keeps meandering between sicko-sex and lovesick sentiment. As Matt pines for lines to impress Tori, raunchy heights are reached when cokedup Barry is seduced into a threesome with a cougar and an aging voyeur. Barry's embarrassment spills out into the audience when the scene turns decidedly unfunny.
"Housebunny" actress Anna Faris is on hand as Matt's twin sister, Wendy, supplying sad moments, after she agrees to marriage with boorish rich-boy party host Kyle (Chris Pratt) and then tries to backtrack out of it. Any humor comes to a dead stop when Matt is almost killed doing a stupid stunt, jerkier than those in the "Jackass" movies. This is after he and his buddy are busted by Matt's beleaguered father (Michael Connell Biehn), who happens to be a cop.
"Take Me Home Tonight" is an unredeemable dud, sometimes saved by a few decent songs on the soundtrack, none of which is the Eddie Money hit, "Take Me Home Tonight." Money must know where the money isn't.

Reaching Out to Gang Members in Trenton [AUDIO]
Gang members in New Jersey's capital city are being tracked down, and then offered job training, an assortment of social services and counseling.
It's part of the Trenton Violence Reduction Strategy initiative.
"The message is simple. We will bend over backwards to help you, however if you want to continue to wage war on the streets of Trenton, we will come at you with everything that we have got, we will find you and we will put you away," says Acting Attorney General John Hoffman.
He says gang members are being told you can either spend a productive life being proud of that choice and satisfied with your accomplishments, "or you can spend the rest of your life, or at least a significant amount of time whiling away in prison praying to God that you have this opportunity and this choice back," Hoffman cautioned.
Hoffman adds we cannot 'arrest' our way out of the problems in Trenton, which is why the AG's office is providing over $1 million over the next 3 years for the Trenton Violence Reduction Strategy.
The initiative, developed by the Trenton Police, the Attorney General's Office, and professors at TCNJ and Rutgers, is based on evidence-based models, such as Ceasefire and Project Safe Neighborhoods that have proven to be successful.
Hoffman also says beefed-up State Police patrols in Trenton's most dangerous neighborhoods, and a "no plea-deal" approach for criminal suspects caught carrying guns will continue indefinitely.

Uniretic® has been evaluated for safety in more than 1140 patients with hypertension with more than 120 treated for more than one year. uniretic® has not demonstrated a potential for causing adverse experiences different from those previously associated with other ACE inhibitor/diuretic combinations. The overall incidence of reported adverse events was slightly less in patients treated with uniretic® than patients treated with placebo.
Adverse experiences were usually mild and transient, and there was no relationship between adverse experiences and gender, race, age, or total daily dosage (except for serum potassium decreases at 50 mg hydrochlorothiazide) within the moexipril/ hydrochlorothiazide dosage range of 3.75 mg / 3.125 mg to 30 mg / 50 mg. Discontinuation of therapy due to adverse experiences was required in 5.3% of patients treated with uniretic® and in 8.4% of patients treated with placebo. The most common reasons for discontinuation of therapy with uniretic® were cough (0.5%) and dizziness (0.5%).
All adverse experiences considered at least possibly related to treatment that occurred at any dose in placebo-controlled trials of once-daily dosing in more than 1% of patients treated with uniretic® and that were at least as frequent in the uniretic® group as in the placebo group are shown in the following table.
Adverse Events in Placebo-Controlled Trials
|15 (3)
|2 (1)
|7 (1.4)
|2 (1)
|5 (1)
|1 (0.5)
Other adverse experiences occurring in more than 1% of patients treated with uniretic® in controlled or uncontrolled trials, some of which were of uncertain drug relationship, listed in decreasing frequency include: upper respiratory infection, headache, pain, flu syndrome, pharyngitis, hyperuricemia, diarrhea, back pain, rhinitis, sinusitis, abnormal ECG, infection, abdominal pain, chest pain, dyspepsia, hyperglycemia, hypokalemia, rash, vertigo, nausea, hypertonia, increased SGPT, urinary tract infection, impotence, peripheral edema, pyuria, bronchitis, and fever. See WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS for discussion of anaphylactoid reactions, angioedema, hypotension, neutropenia/agranulocytosis, fetal/neonatal morbidity and mortality, serum electrolyte imbalances, and cough.
The following adverse experiences, some of which are of uncertain drug relationship, were reported in uniretic® controlled or uncontrolled clinical trials in less than 1% of patients or have been attributed to other ACE inhibitors. Within each organ system, adverse experiences are listed in decreasing frequency.
Cardiovascular: palpitation, flushing, syncope, tachycardia, myocardial infarct, hypotension, postural hypotension, arrhythmia, first degree AV block, ventricular extrasystoles, atrial fibrillation, migraine, hemorrhage, sinus bradycardia, bigeminy, bradycardia, bundle branch block, heart arrest, myocardial ischemia, peripheral vascular disorder, prolonged QT interval, inverted T wave, ventricular fibrillation

Clinical Laboratory Test Findings
Serum Electrolytes
See PRECAUTIONS, General.
Creatinine and Blood Urea Nitrogen
As with other ACE inhibitors, minor increases in blood urea nitrogen or serum creatinine, reversible upon discontinuation of therapy, were observed in less than 1% of patients with essential hypertension who were treated with uniretic®. Increases are more likely to occur in patients with compromised renal function (see PRECAUTIONS, General).
Other (causal relationship unknown)
Clinically important changes in standard laboratory tests were rarely associated with uniretic® administration.
Read the Uniretic (moexipril hcl hydrochlorothiazide tablets) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
Potassium Supplements and Potassium-Sparing Diuretics
As noted above (Serum Electrolyte Imbalances), the net effect of uniretic® may be to elevate a patient's serum potassium, to reduce it, or to leave it unchanged. Potassium-sparing diuretics (spironolactone, amiloride, triamterene) or potassium supplements can increase the risk of hyperkalemia. If concomitant use of such agents is indicated, they should be given with caution, and the patient's serum potassium should be monitored.
Oral Anticoagulants
Interaction studies with warfarin failed to identify any clinically important effect of moexipril monotherapy on the serum concentrations of the anticoagulant or on its anticoagulant effect.
Increased serum lithium levels and symptoms of lithium toxicity have been reported in patients receiving ACE inhibitors during therapy with lithium. Because renal clearance of lithium is reduced by thiazides, the risk of lithium toxicity is presumably raised further when, as in therapy with uniretic®, a thiazide diuretic is coadministered with the ACE inhibitor. These drugs should be coadministered with caution, and frequent monitoring of serum lithium levels is recommended.
Nitritoid reactions (symptoms include facial flusing, nausea, vomiting and hypotension) have been reported rarely in patients on therapy with injectable gold (sodium aurothiomalate) and concomitant ACE inhibitor therapy including uniretic®.
Alcohol, Barbiturates, or Narcotics
Potentiation of orthostatic hypotension may occur in patients on thiazide diuretic therapy with concomitant use of alcohol, barbiturates, or narcotics.
Antidiabetic Agents
Use of thiazide diuretics concomitantly with antidiabetic agents (oral agents and insulin) may require dosage adjustment of the antidiabetic agent. Moexipril has been used in clinical trials concomitantly with oral hypoglycemic agents and there was no evidence of any clinically important adverse interactions.
Cholestyramine and Colestipol Resins
Absorption of hydrochlorothiazide is impaired in the presence of anionic exchange resins. Single doses of either cholestyramine or colestipol resins bind the hydrochlorothiazide and reduce its absorption from the gastrointestinal tract by up to 85% and 43%, respectively.
Corticosteroids, ACTH
Use of thiazide diuretics concomitantly with corticosteroids or ACTH may intensify electrolyte depletion, particularly hypokalemia.
Pressor Amines: Thiazide diuretics may decrease arterial responsiveness to pressor amines (e.g. norepinephrine), but not enough to preclude effectiveness of the pressor agent for therapeutic use.
Skeletal Muscle Relaxants, Nondepolarizing
Thiazide diuretics may increase the responsiveness to tubocurarine.
Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Agents including Selective Cyclooxygenase-2 Inhibitors (COX-2 Inhibitors)
In patients who are elderly, volume-depleted (including those on diuretic therapy), or with compromised renal function, co-administration of NSAIDS, including selective COX-2 inhibitors, with ACE inhibitors, including moexipril, may result in deterioration of renal function, including possible acute renal failure. These effects are usually reversible. Monitor renal function periodically in patients receiving moexipril and NSAID therapy.
The antihypertensive effect of ACE inhibitors and hydrochlorothiazide, as well as the diuretic and natriuretic effects of hydrochlorothiazide, may be attenuated by NSAIDS.
Dual Blockade of the Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS)
Dual blockade of the RAS with angiotensin receptor blockers, ACE inhibitors, or aliskiren is associated with increased risks of hypotension, hyperkalemia, and changes in renal function (including acute renal failure) compared to monotherapy. Closely monitor blood pressure, renal function and electrolytes in patients on uniretic® and other agents that affect the RAS.
Do not co-administer aliskiren with uniretic® in patients with diabetes. Avoid use of aliskiren with uniretic® in patients with renal impairment (GFR < 60 mL/min).
Other Agents
No clinically important pharmacokinetic interactions occurred when moexipril was administered concomitantly with digoxin or cimetidine.
Moexipril has been used in clinical trials concomitantly with calcium-channel-blocking agents, diuretics, H2 blockers, digoxin, and cholesterol-lowering agents. There was no evidence of clinically important adverse interactions. In general, ACE inhibitors have less than additive effects with betaadrenergic blockers, presumably because both work by inhibiting the renin-angiotensin system.
Coadministration of propantheline or guanabenz increased the absorption of hydrochlorothiazide.

I'm stumped. Bamboozled, if you will. Within the expanse of my gray matter, the little mouse that runs around in the spinning wheel has taken a lunch break.
Yeah, it's that dramatic.
I just can't figure out what an e-commerce business solution is. And I figure this is something I ought to know, seeing that I'm the tech reporter for the Central Penn Business Journal.
It's advertised all over TV, with that guy who played J. Peterman on Seinfeld talking about "savvy business solutions for e-commerce" so matter-of-factly that I feel like a jackass for not knowing what Mr. Peterman is talking about.
Oh, business solutions for e-commerce. Of course, I should have known.
Other ad campaigns and prospectus sheets for budding Web-based start-up companies don't even bat an eye when they state what they offer clients. In fact, they put it on the first sentence: "Our customers are looking for a one-stop provider able to deliver a full range of e-commerce business solutions." Or: "We offer a variety of e-commerce business solutions to our clients using."
Suddenly I feel un-hip and out-of-it, like I showed up dateless to the prom wearing platform shoes and an aqua tux with ruffles.
I asked what an e-commerce business solution was here at in the newsroom of the Journal. Nobody else seemed to know either, although a few acted like they did but stammered after thinking for a while, "I don't really know exactly how to say it, but I think I know what it is when I see it."
And these are people who probably went to the prom wearing the latest fashions that all the kids were talking about.
Either way, I wanted to find out if the people who offer the solutions know the answers. Intrepid and smart-alecky, I asked around.
Jeff Poet, president of Quality Copy and Computer Products in York, Pennsylvania implements e-commerce business strategies, to paraphrase a press release from the company. Perhaps he could help out.
"What is an e-commerce business solution?"
"Geez," Poet said between laughs. "It could mean just about anything."
But what does it mean?
"It mostly has to do with consultive help or taking a small- to medium-sized business and helping them to compete with bigger businesses," he said succinctly. "It's pretty difficult to define because it is such an overused term.
"I'm sure you could find a lot of people who use the term without actually knowing what it means," Poet said and then started laughing again.
"Can picking up your computer and throwing it out the window be an e-commerce business solution?" Now I started laughing.
Still not satisfied, I made some more phone calls. I wanted a definite definition answer for this buzzword that seems to be perched on the lips of everyone in the tech game.
Rob Teeple, owner of his euphoniously named Internet company Teeple Graphics in Grantville, Pennsylvania kind of nailed it down. Almost.
"E-commerce business solutions is just a fancy way for a company to say it can set it up so another business can sell things on the Web," Teeple said succinctly. "It's a catchall phrase that could mean a whole lot of different things."
Can it mean different things to different businesses?
"It shouldn't, but it does," Teeple said. "'E-commerce business solutions' is as much a marketing ploy as it is a service for some companies." Teeple is a pretty bright guy, so I decided to ask the question that caught other people off-guard:
"Is picking a computer up and tossing it out of a window an e-commerce business solution?" I asked with a tongue planted deep into my cheek.
"Yeah, if you are a computer salesman and you want to sell someone a new computer, it is," Teeple said.
Teeple scored the endpoint after the next question.
"So, I'm not a total idiot for not knowing what e-commerce business solutions are?"
"Not totally."
I'm stumped. Bamboozled, if you will. Within the expanse of my gray matter, the little mouse that runs around in the spinning wheel has taken a lunch break.

CLASS 2A TRACK AND FIELD: Big day at state for BHS
ST. PAUL — Two runner-up finishes, combined with fifth- and sixth-place showings, resulted in a multitude of success for the Brainerd Warriors in the finals of the Class 2A state meet Saturday at Hamline University.
Brainerd's Sydnie Mauch placed second in girls shot put, and the Warrior boys 4x100 relay of Jordan Hayes, Dan Lauer, Grant Reuer and Joe Nelson finished second by a whisker.
Add fifth place in the boys 110 hurdles by Jackson Walters and sixth in the girls 4x800 relay by Anna Gessell, Sarah Yeh, Allison Kosobud and Megan Holmes and it was a great day to be a Warrior.
Mauch threw 41-6.75 to finish behind sophomore Maggie Ewen of St. Francis, who put the shot 44-7.25. Ewen was the only girl to throw farther than Mauch in a section meet.
"My first throw was a pretty good start, I threw 40 feet or so," Mauch said. "My second throw was 41, that was my (best) throw, 41 something, about a quarter (inch) off my (personal best).
"From there it kind of went downhill from where I wanted to go. My goal was to break the school record. That didn't happen so it gives me a little incentive for next year, something to look forward to. I definitely think I can do it. I'm about a foot off (42-8 is the school record). I was shooting for 42-9 today, but didn't quite make it."
In only her second year of throwing, Mauch has gone from a rookie to a state runner-up.
See BHS, Page 6B
"With me, I think its strength," Mauch said. "I had the strength to begin with. The technique, I picked up pretty fast, where in discus it hasn't quite got there yet. Technique is big, but strength definitely gets you a long way in shot put."
Ewen already has won state discus and shot put titles.
"She's going to be big competition (next year)," Mauch said. "She's not even doing a full spin yet so I'm excited to see where she can go."
In the boys 4x100, Brainerd led virtually the entire race before being nosed out by Apple Valley, which finished at 42.56 to Brainerd's school-record 42.64.
Hayes led off with a swift first lap, Lauer maintained the lead for Grant Reuer, who led when he handed the baton to Nelson.
"Getting the baton, we had a pretty good lead," Reuer said, "and I was trying to hold it off around the corner because (Friday) in Lane One I ran a pretty good corner. I was just trying to repeat what I did. I wanted to give Joey as big of a lead as I possibly could to try to hold them off."
Nelson and Apple Valley's Jalen Stewart ran virtually shoulder to shoulder down the stretch, with Stewart winning by 8/100ths of a second.
"Usually, I don't hear people scream and yell, but this time I heard every single person, yelling just to go, just to finish," Nelson said. "It was ridiculously close. I saw (Stewart) pull up on my outside. I tried to stay with him but it wasn't enough."
Hayes, Lauer and Nelson returned from last year's relay that placed 10th at state. Reuer, a freshman, joined the group this year.
"Coming in, we didn't think of each other as a good relay," Nelson said. "But throughout the whole year we grew together, like a bunch of brothers running a relay."
Walters secured all-state honors (top 9) with a time of 14.98, third-fastest in school history. He was abreast of the leaders until about the halfway mark.
"I started off pretty good," Walters said. "I've been having a good start the past couple races, but about the sixth hurdle I started hitting them, not too hard, but it was enough to pull me back a little bit."
In the 4x800, Gessell put Brainerd in the lead on the first lap before five teams passed the Warriors before the finish.
"I was just trying to make sure not to get boxed in because that's usually what happens when you're running the first leg," Gessell said. "I just didn't want to worry about everyone else. I just wanted to run my own race and bring it home to Sarah.
"This group of (relay) competitors, they're all really fast, so I'm proud of our team and how we finished. It was better than what we did last year so that's always good."
The relay placed 10th last year, with Gessell, Kosobud and Holmes, who battled illness Saturday, returning in 2011.

Hey everyone, we're back with another entry in the Reader Recommendations series!
My questions in bold. Jen′s answers below.
- Asian
- Interested in Asians (sorry, there is only males in this movie)
- Foodie
- Loves Sushi
- Loves Japanese culture or at least have an interest in it
Big thanks, Jen! My Review Below.
I knew one thing going into "Jiro Dreams of Sushi". I was not about to be hit with a Sushi craving unprepared. So I ordered up a sampler and a couple of rolls, and dove in as I hit play. And I was glad I did, too. Within two minutes of this movie I would have been dying for some.
"Jiro Dreams of Sushi" is a documentary about Jiro Ono, an 85-year-old master sushi chef in Tokyo Japan.
See if you can wrap your mind around this. Jiro's restaurant has ten seats. It's a sushi bar, with ten chairs in front of it. He charges $300 a seat, dinner for two… so, say if you took a date… it would be a $600 meal. He serves only sushi. Not tempura and sushi, not edamame and sushi, just sushi. Rice, fish, light basting. Sushi. They put the pieces out one at a time on a small serving plate, in front of the customers, and the customers eat them as soon as they're served.
His restaurant is world renown and takes reservations a full month in advance.
Jiro's secret is his relentless pursuit of perfection. Forced into self-reliance at an extremely young age, he adopted an incredibly strong work ethic. He constantly strives to improve his technique, and is unwavering in the demands he places on his staff. He dislikes vacations and holidays, and avoids time off at all costs. He is so focused on his work that he would make sushi in his dreams, and in the morning wake up with new ideas.
The documentary is a combination of a biographical look at the man, the sushi industry in Tokyo (including the fish markets), and the changing world we live in. But mainly, it's a look at Jiro's philosophies. In Jiro's way of thinking, one should dedicate themselves to their work, and strive to master it. It's about aspiring to be the best, and having a singular focus is a strong part of that. For example, he admits at one point in the film that he hasn't been the best father, but both of his sons are master sushi chefs themselves now due to his tutelage.
Seeing the lengths they go to just to cook their rice, to serve the fish at exactly the best time, watching the lengths he makes his apprentices go to for their training… it really all is incredible. It's a different and admirable way of life, and something that I think few Americans can relate to.
It was certainly an interesting film, and I found Jiro's philosophies on perfection to be fascinating. Sushi has also never looked so delicious… so if you enjoy it, and you watch this film, be prepared for some big time cravings!

Pitoniak: Lewis was encouraging
ORCHARD PARK – Ten days ago, he was home in Buffalo, watching the game like the rest of us on television. Thad Lewis was a practice squad player for the Bills at that point, too far down the quarterback depth chart to even travel to the Browns game in Cleveland.
But things change rapidly in the NFL. A helmet to the knee knocked rookie starter EJ Manuel out of that game and the lineup for at least a month. And when his replacement, Jeff Tuel, showed he wasn't ready for primetime, the Bills became desperate.
They tried out a few free agents before ultimately deciding that their best option, at least for the short term, was Thad Lewis, the practice squad journeyman from Duke University who had all of one start on his NFL resume. That came last year in an emergency situation with the Browns in their season finale. He played decently in a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but not well enough to stick on Cleveland's roster. He hooked on with the Detroit Lions, who traded him to the Bills late in the preseason. They, of course, cut him before the regular season began, then re-signed him – to the practice squad.
No one was expecting much from Lewis Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals at the Ralph. But the three-year veteran actually played well enough to win in a 27-24 overtime loss. Facing relentless pressure that resulted in five sacks and a lost fumble, Lewis showed some moxie, especially in the fourth quarter, when he fired touchdown passes of 22 yards to Scott Chandler and 40 yards to Marquise Goodwin to send the game into OT. His final stats were impressive: 19 for 32 for 216 yards, two scores and a 100.5 quarterback rating.
Had the Bills defense not missed so many tackles that turned short passes into long gains and had the special teams not allowed a 29-yard punt return in OT to set up the winning field goal, Lewis' first start as a Bill might have had a storybook ending.
The severe dropoff from Manuel to Lewis wound up not being so severe after all. In fact, Lewis played as well as if not better than Manuel might have. He throws a better deep ball than the much-hyped rookie, is a better ball-handler and also showed a break-your-ankles, crossover move on one scramble that would have made Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski proud.
And Lewis displayed some grit, too, injuring his right foot early in the game, but not missing a play. The injury was bad enough to require him to be placed into a walking boot afterward, but he is expected to be ready to practice by Wednesday.
So, it appears that Lewis will do OK tiding the Bills over these next, however-many weeks it takes Manuel to heal.
That doesn't mean Buffalo is going to go on some winning streak with Lewis behind center. But they weren't going to with the inexperienced Manuel in the lineup either. The Bills are heading into the teeth of their schedule with road games at Miami and New Orleans before a return to the Ralph to play Kansas City. They very well might be 2-7 by then.
I said this was going to be a transition season. The Bills remain a work in progress. But there are positive signs.
And one of those positives might be Lewis, who looks like he'll be an ideal backup quarterback for the Bills.
OFFENSE: It was good seeing a Bills QB make long-ball connections to T.J. Graham for 47 yards along the sidelines and to Goodwin on the game-tying touchdown. The Bills need to get Robert Woods more involved. And they need to get C.J. Spiller healthy. GRADE: B-minus.
DEFENSE: Despite the returns of safety Jairus Byrd and cornerback Stephon Gilmore, Andy Dalton threw for 337 yards and A.J. Green had six receptions for 103 yards. The Bills tackling was atrocious at times as the Bengals turned short catches into long gains. Cincinnati also rushed for 165 yards. That's way too much yardage. The Bills defense came up really small in the second quarter when it allowed the Bengals to drive 98 yards in nine plays. Jim Leonhard did have an interception. GRADE: D
SPECIAL TEAMS: Dan Carpenter remains a great pickup. He connected on a 51-yard field goal, making him 3-for-3 from that distance or beyond and 12-for-13 overall. Brian Moorman had a triumphant return. The greatest punter in Bills history pinned his first boot at the Bengals 1-yard line and averaged 48.8 yards on five kicks. Unfortunately, the Bills coverage unit cost them the game, allowing Brandon Tate to return a punt 29 yards to set up Mike Nugent's winning field goal. GRADE: C
OVERALL: Lewis was encouraging and it's obvious the Bills have a much faster receiving corps. That bodes well for the future. Sadly, this was a winnable game and Buffalo didn't get the job done. The Bills might very well go zero-for-October. GRADE: C-minus.

Otoplasty Swelling 2 post-op, my right ear has an odd unnatural shape.
I had a bilateral otoplasty 2 weeks ago using the stitch method. The left ear looks great, however the right ear has an odd unnatural look - due to swelling??? Is swelling still prevalent 2 wks post op? The right ear antihelix fold looks abnormal; much more prominent than left ear.(larger and more bruised) It is hard to see definition of the helix rim. When will the swelling go down? Is there anything my surgeon could even do - or do I just have to wait till my next visit at 8 wks post op?

Amazing! This is the only word that I have to describe my adventures of the day. I spent the final day of my journey touring the northern tip of Ireland. I imagined what life would have been like at Carricksburg Castle, braved the rope bridge at Carrick-A-Rede, and hiked the Giant's Causeway. I started walking, but I didn't quite know what I was walking toward. I just knew it was a suggested "must see" of Northern Ireland. After walking…and walking…and walking, I began to see the interesting rock formations, boulders, and the cliff that lead to the waters edge. It was beautiful. As I climbed up the rocks, I was pleased that I made this trip. I took a few pictures, then made my way down to side to join the others, ready to move on to the next tourist attraction. Read More

Through the lens of an educator
Thursday, June 16, 2016
During the past few days, we have visited three schools and Stranmillis College. One purpose of our trip is to continue the relationships that were built during the last visit, as well as plan for next year's summer trip. We will be working closely with Stranmillis College, as they support our visits within the local schools. There may even be opportunity for extended stays during the next few years. It is an exciting prospect that will be explored throughout this next school year! Our first stop was Sullivan Upper Elementary, a school that serves a selective, high-achieving student population. We were able to visit with the principal and tour the school grounds. This school provides academic, athletic, and artistic experiences to enhance the learning of students as individuals, enabling the students to develop their skills and talents. They had a wonderful art room, 3-D printer, a small machine shop, and whole floor dedicated to music development. Also, they were in the process of updating their athletic facilities. This school is the alma mater of Rory McIlroy, one of the top golfers in the PGA. Read More

It's a Narnia kind of day!
Wednesday, June 15, 2016
What a privilege to worship with our brothers and sisters in Christ on Sunday morning! We attended a service at Parish of Dundela, St. Mark's Church. This church was the home church of C. S. Lewis. His grandfather, Thomas Hamilton, was a rector of this church. We were welcomed by several of the people of the church and made to feel at home. As we were being seated, the bells began to peal! The beautiful sound of celebration. This service was a service of celebration and thanksgiving to mark the Queen's 90th birthday. It was a wonderful opportunity to be in town for this celebration. After the service, we were treated to tea and a tasty assortments of cakes and cookies. Upon entering the building before the service began, I was in awe of the ornate architecture and colors provided by the stained glass windows, flooring, and ceiling structures; however, I had no idea that each corner, window, tile, and architectural form had a significant meaning. \We were given a tour of the church and learned about each part. One rarely looks down at the floor for important symbolism, but there were even details in the flooring at St. Mark's. Upon entering the church, black chevron floor tiles were intentionally set at the back by the baptismal font to point to the front of the church. They were to connect the two most important sacraments, the baptism and Holy Communion. As one walked forward, the tiles changed to vibrant color at the front, pointing the way to the table of Holy Communion. Read More

And the journey begins....
Monday, June 13, 2016
Journey: (n) 1. the act of traveling to one place or another, peregrination; 2. a long and often difficult process of personal change and development. We made it! Dr. Connie Matchell, Dr. Richard Ellis, and I set off from XNA on Friday, June 10, 2016, connected through Chicago O'Hare, and survived the seven hour flight to Dublin, Ireland. We landed Saturday around 8:30 a.m., but our bodies were telling us it was 2:30 a.m. However, that didn't discourage us one bit. We hopped the bus to Belfast, and the adventure began! Once in Belfast, we met up with Billy Stevenson, our guide for the week. We started our journey at the famous Eudora Hotel. Billy informed us that is was the most bombed hotel during the Northern Ireland conflict. It is a symbol of the strength of the people of Belfast, because it was rebuilt each time in the midst of the terroristic threats. After tea, we began a day of discovery the rich history of Belfast. In the pictures above you will see the Belfast City Hall. In front of City Hall, there is a memorial with the names of all those that perished on the Titanic (top left picture). Also, there is a monument and plaque honoring President Bill Clinton for the part he played in the peace agreement of the 1990s between the Protestants and Catholics that resulted in a "power sharing" government (top right picture). As we continued through the day, Billy pointed out many historical places, as well as places that are important to the every day workings of the wonderful people here in Belfast. The places we visited told the story of the difficulties and hardships faced by the people of Belfast and reflected their strength as a community striving to continue to grow and overcome the past.

As far as Kolo Toure is concerned, his partnership with William Gallas was one of the Premier League's finest last season - and it can be again.
The duo have only lined up together in 11 of Arsenal's 26 fixtures this term and they were separated again on Saturday as Toure returned from a calf injury only for Gallas to sit out the Wigan match with an identical problem.
Even when both men are fit, they are not guaranteed a starting place - Johan Djourou and Mikael Silvestre will have something to say about that. But if Toure and Gallas are reunited, the Ivorian expects them to rekindle the fine understanding they developed last year.
"We played last season together and we finished third and had a really good season, three points behind the top two," said Toure.
"He [Gallas] is a great player. I've been at the Club a long time now and for me I'm just focused on my game and doing my best. I've been injured and maybe that is why we haven't played together but we are both really professional and have been in the business a long time now.
"When you look at Chelsea they have [Ricardo] Carvalho and John Terry but they are not better than William Gallas and me. I'm confident about my quality and William's as well. We'll play more and we are going to show that."
Toure looked sharp enough on Saturday after three weeks out as he contributed to a vital clean sheet against Wigan. That meant Emmanuel Adebayor's first-half goal was enough to secure three points and maintain Arsenal's momentum after their win at Stamford Bridge six days earlier.
"We just need to be consistent in our game", said Toure. "That is the only thing missing in the team at the moment, we are working on it and we are really glad we won against a really good team in Wigan. That is good for the title. The most important thing is to win every game we play and see how close we are for the Premier League.
"We had the same intensity [that we showed at Chelsea], definitely. We were concentrating. We know that at the moment we are playing good football and when we are playing against the top four we are doing really well but we need to concentrate even more when we play against other teams because they come to play for their lives.
"It's a big game for them and they give 200 per cent, but we had a good response to that against Wigan. We showed a great desire."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

All of the Gospels and the whole of Christian tradition depict Jesus as a miraculous healer who can cure blindness, leprosy, hemorrhages, and a host of other maladies. But how did Jesus actually heal? In this fascinating book, Donald Capps argues that Jesus was keenly attuned to the psychological causes of illness and through his ministry brought healing to body and soul alike.
Capps argues that one of Jesus' purposes was to heal people from mental illnesses, which people in the ancient world would have seen manifested in physical ailments such as blindness, paralysis, or other symptoms. Fully engaged in historical Jesus scholarship, Capps carefully examines Jesus' deep concern for both physical and emotional health and shows how his proclamation of the kingdom of God envisioned a world without mental illness.
PortraitDonald Capps is William Harte Felmeth Professor of Pastoral Theology at Princeton Theological Seminary in Princeton, New Jersey. He is the author of more than two dozen books in pastoral theology, including The Poet's Gift and The Child's Song.
