City scribblers are talking up the price of ITV, which could be a bid target.
US media goliath and Virgin Media owner Liberty Global is reportedly canvassing opinions from ITV's major shareholders, according to reports over the weekend, raising hopes of a potential approach for the company.
Liberty became ITV's biggest single shareholder in July after snapping up a 6.4% stake in The Only Way Is Essex broadcaster from BSkyB.
ITV would be an expensive purchase, with shares at a 13-year high, but analysts at Liberum were talking up the price. Adam Crozier, ITV's boss, is pushing for the introduction of re-transmission fees — charging platforms like Sky to carry ITV channels.
Liberum's Ian Whittaker and Lisa Hau think the potential success of such a drive means any bid for ITV should be worth around 290p, valuing the broadcaster at around £11.6 billion.
ITV climbed 3.3p to 214.55p.
The blue-chip index made a tentative start to September today, with trading floors in the US shut for Labor Day. The FTSE 100 lost 19.17 points to 6800.58.
BAE Systems was the best performer, up 9.7p at 454.75p, after an upgrade from Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
Perhaps perversely, tensions with Russia and the threat to the West from terrorist groups like IS could spell good news for BAE, with the possibility of higher defence spending.
Barclays inched down 1.4p to 223.07p as the lender admitted it will lose £500 million on the sale of its Spanish business to CaixaBank for €800 million (£632 million).
The bank also announced the offloading of its UAE retail banking operation to Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, a transaction that will net it £119 million in pre-tax gains.
US semiconductor giant Microchip Technologies moved to keep hopes of a takeover of mid-cap chip maker CSR alive, updating investors on talks between the two.
Cambridge-based CSR, which specialises in microchips for wirelessly streaming music, confirmed last week it had rebuffed an offer from Microchip. The suitor today said any potential bid for CSR, up 2p at 788p, would likely be an all-cash offer.
The summer lull in companies floating looks to be coming to an end, with RAC said to be eyeing a listing, and digital-advertising specialist Crossrider today unveiling plans to join AIM.
The company is owned by Israeli billionaire Teddy Sagi, the entrepreneur behind other London-listed ventures Playtech, up 2p at 722.25p, and SafeCharge, 0.5p better at 207.5p.
Crossrider is raising $75 million on a $250 million valuation.
Recently floated Clipper Logistics, which helps online retailers deliver orders, announced a contract to handle UK storage and distribution for American tobacco giant Philip Morris. Clipper climbed 2.5p to 162.62p.Reuse content

The next edition of the Halo video game series, Halo 5, will launch for Xbox One on October 27.
Microsoft confirmed the release date in a TV advert that aired last night.
The advert itself was a live action affair, and didn't show any gameplay footage of Halo 5 itself. As part of an ongoing teaser campaign available online, it points to the game's two playable protagonists - Master Chief and Spartan Locke, the latter of which has been charged with hunting the franchise lead down.
So far, Microsoft's teaser efforts for the game have pointed to the suggestion that Master Chief is suspected of being a traitor in Halo 5. Spoiler alert: he isn't. Probably. It's unlikely though, isn't it?
This will be the second main Halo game since series creators Bungie left the property behind to concentrate on Destiny. Microsoft's internal developer 343 Industries will once again take the lead after the surprisingly accomplished Halo 4, which launched at the end of 2012.

Meanwhile, the launch of Halo: The Master Chief Collection (which featured the original Halo games remastered) late last year included a beta of Halo 5's multiplayer mode. It revealed, among other things, that the series would finally be adopting a Call of Duty-like ironsight aiming system.
Expect to see more from Halo 5 – including, hopefully, live gameplay footage – at this year's E3 show, which takes place in June.

Pest Control in San Antonio
San Antonio pest control services are a necessity in a modern metropolis where animals and insects inevitably collide with human residents and the buildings they occupy. When animals get into ceilings and crawl spaces, pest control can be relied upon to set traps and capture the animals that are then taken away and disposed of. For insect infestations that are especially bad, an exterminator is the best option as they know exactly where the pests originate from and how to settle the issue.

CPS in Colorado Springs, CO Abuses Families
Posted in the Colorado Springs Forum

#21 Jul 26, 2009
I have a senior relative is being taken advantage by family members. They are spending his money at such a alarming rate he will be broke soon. Then I'm afaid he will be out on the street. Very little if any of his money is spent on him. These blood suckers have bought expensive cars for there selfs,large flat screen tvs, computers, etc.
My understanding is that adult protective services is ran by the same stupid people who run child protective services.
We all know how bad and worthless these people are.
Is there any one else in Colorado to turn to for help before they spend all his money.
#22 Sep 7, 2009
The thread that I started today refers to Ramona Bourgeois-a victim of CPS Col. Springs.She died in 1997 of mysterious circumstances after living in a virtual Hell caused by CPS.They took her children hostage on hearsay, controlled her very existence, and treated her as sub-human.We were engaged to marry but CPS decided to keep the children, and to make a long story short she just couldn't take it anymore---these people will rot in Hell for their actions-I have no doubt

"Vote Martinez off the bench in 2010. DO NOT retain this 'judge'" Okay, how do we organize to remove this piece of garbage? Let's make this happen. He screwed me over in 1987 and almost got me killed by my ex, he just screwed my friend over today. That's 22 years too long on the bench.
#24 Sep 8, 2009
It's amazing to me that as bad as it was in 1997 (when I had enough of the Springs)it has gotten worse.The SAME people are there doing the same things but to different families.A good rule of thumb and very simple rule: NEVER vote to retain a judge.NEVER give them a chance to get a foothold.They do their dirty little deeds behind the scenes,in the dark and try to keep a low profile.Only the families involved know the damage these judges are capable of doing.The name Martinez does sound very familiar-whatever he's been in way too long.Songster I truly understand your hurt--

I despise the arrogance of Gilbert Anthony Martinez. There is NO HONOR in this small character. He needs to be removed from the bench ASAP. There is a lot of criminal activity in the courts by the people we simply expect to do their jobs with integrity. Martinez is one of them. He remains immune from all the harm he continues to flaunt because the people don't vote him out. Anyone who has not had the misfortune of dealing with this tyrant ignores the vote. The people decide. In the case of Gilbert Anthony Martinez, VOTE HIM O-U-T !!!
Copy this material. Send it forth; and so on.
http://BearingFalseWitness.com - Read the CASE SUMMARY located at the top of this page. An innocent man is in prison because this tyrant's reputation and obscene pay (going onto $100,000.00 or more per year) is his priority. Justice be damned. For every wrongful conviction, the real murderer goes free. We are NOT safe with Martinez. Ol' Gilbert COULD have reversed the decision, but chose to protect the real murderer in exchange for a personal WIN. I find him quite evil.
My compassion goes out to each of you who have been subjected to this tyrant and the diabolical CPS.
YOU could be HIS next VICTIM.

Can we organize a campaign to get people to vote no in 2010?

Remember the definition of sedition and that many posters on the internet are guilty of it:
#29 Sep 9, 2009
debt slave - jog on
United States
#30 Sep 10, 2009
Sedition? I see no act of sedition on this forum. There is no attempt to create an "act of war by force" on these comments. What is requested, not by force, is the speaking about the RIGHTS of the people to vote. If this is an act of attempting to "overthrow the government through violence" we are living in a fascist state.
Debt Slave: What is being suggested here is simply free speech and to bring awareness to the people to exercise their right to vote with factual information provided.
Sedition does NOT apply, only 1st amendment rights. To view free speech as sedition would be unconstitutional unless it were blatantly violent in suggestion. In politics, that would make the entire "attack" ads and words subject to sedition. This would make each and every one of us 'guilty' of sedition in one way or another. That is dictatorship not democracy.
Is this an attempt to instill fear? WE THE PEOPLE have the right to make an educated decision as to which way we vote. It's as simply as that.
#31 Sep 10, 2009
I would like everyone who has suffered at Martinez hand to write back. I am filing a judicial complaint against this ass. Time we united and get this piece of trash where here belongs ....at the curb!
#32 Sep 10, 2009
My x actually perjured himself in court, when I filed a motion to reconsider (there was a business deal of $435 thousand dollars in question). Martinez just dismissed it without even looking at the documents or hearing the issue. He thinks he is god and therefore no need to re-consider one of his issues what a swollen headed ass. He deserves to be dismissed from the Bench. There are a lot of qualified lawyers that could take his place. He is over due to step down. Any comments would be appreciated as I plan on addressing this issue with the congress man for our state, the judicial committee and the newspaper.
#33 Sep 10, 2009
Debt Slave- Your post really does not deserve a reply.Evidently they haven't invaded your world or your childrens world.Sedition my ass-Freedom of speech you bet your ass--
#34 Sep 10, 2009
Dina-Great post--Rock their world
#35 Sep 12, 2009
It would be awesome if everyone who has suffered at the hand of martinez would step forward... I am sure we together, can get this piece of trash removed from the bench. However, we can't do it alone...we have to unite. Does anyone know how many signatures it takes to remove a judge from the bench. I would be willing to collect signatures outside of Walmart or even the court house. Lets unite to make a difference for others out there who may have to deal with this ignorant SOB.

I live in El Paso County, Colorado. Our DHS is not as responsive as you say. In fact, they normally are so late to respond that our children are killed by their parents and in one case, a foster-parent. Senior citizens who are abused and neglected by their caretakers face a similar challenge here. I wish DHS was little faster in their response.
#39 Oct 2, 2009
EPC Citizen: I am alert to DHS and what they do (or don't do). You are right. DHS in El Paso County is primarily interested in what brings in the money rather than what is good for the child or senior. If it's a money-maker, they will involve themselves to the point of annoyance. Quite frankly, for the most part, they do NOT apply necessary focus on genuine abuse cases. They would rather zoom in on false calls and 'claims' of abuse. Even when the individual who calls in on those fabricated abuse calls, they are not held responsible for taking up critical time for REAL cases that require immediate attention. I know this from experience. The more DHS and CPS can adopt a child out, the more money they make. Read between the lines and you can figure out how they 'decide' which calls to answer and which calls to ignore. It's sad and they should be held accountable!

I am living proof that colorado spring's CPS is pure evil. My son was 2 months when he was first taken from me. IT was because I was kicked out of my sister's house over an argument and tossed into a slum pad where the father was living where as the owner of the 2 bedroom apartment recently had his 2 kids taken. I would sleep on an air mattress that had a small hole somewhere in it that caused it to get a tumor like bulge in it when it was blown up. I was changing my sons diaper when I noticed there were no diapers in the diaper bag next to me and had to get one out of the pack behind our room door. I moved for 2 seconds and he rolled off. 2 days later the father noticed his arm was hurting so we took him to the hospital where they saw a bruise and called it a pinch mark. 30 minutes after getting home he was taken and brought to the father's mom down the street who was for one an on again off again meth head and had a neglect case against the father and his brother when they were kids.(both were adopted irony) they never gave her a background check. I moved back in with my sister and got my son back. Caseworkers would stop by all the time. there was only one nice one. She put a down payment on an apartment for me and helped me a lot then was taken off my case after defending me. my son later suffered a seizure while the father was getting him dressed and I was on my way to work when I got to the hospital they found 2 brain bleeds..one new one old..he was taken again and given to the foster family. We went through police interrogation and lie detector tests until a doctor finally found what was wrong with him..they were accusing us of shaking him but apparently it was a rare condition called External HydroCephalus (can't spell it) It caused his skull to grow bigger then his brain leaving an extra gap where even the slightest jerk caused him a brain bleed and of course they found it during winter time where we had a bad stroller and had to take the bus. the seizures he suffered were caused by the brain bleeds I assumed it was epilepsy since it's in my family history. they gave him back for a week then took him again apparently we missed a doctor's appointment the foster family set up that we had no clue about. since then it was an uphill battle..drug tests..parenting classes..only 2 hour visits twice a week ended up leaving the father because substance abuse got the best of him after all of this..had to quit my job because they cut my hours so drastically I was getting $5 checks in 2 weeks never more then $30. We got evicted and then I ended up having to move in with friends that weren't "fit to be around my child" everybody and colorado springs practically has a criminal background I swear i'm the only one without..lets just say at the end of it all my son is now 26 months almost and was adopted yesterday..by the same foster family..they call him by his middle name..he barely recognizes me or his father and was trying to hide from us the other day..and today he moves to England..I've been trying to find a lawyer to sue but there may be so many CPS workers here but there are no defenders I am permanently going to be emotionally traumatized..I cry every night I end up caring for my friend's and my sister's kids because I constantly miss having my own son around. CPS told me if I have a kid in the next year I'd get them back in my life. Therefore because of that constant fear I ended up terminating another pregnancy which I feel horrible about.

It will be little surprise to anyone who has spent time in hospital to find that, in many cases, the food leaves much to be desired. Even the scale of patients' dissatisfaction – only slightly more than half rate their meals as "good", according to the latest survey – seems hardly outlandish.
What is remarkable, however, is the yawning gulf between the Care Quality Commission's findings and those produced by hospitals themselves. With a sleight of hand reminiscent of a despot's election victory, the annual assessments carried out by hospital staff record a self-congratulatory 99 per cent of meals rated "good" or "excellent". Indeed, only two out of England's 156 NHS trusts dropped below such high standards.
With such complacent statistics to hand, no wonder the food is so bad. And no wonder that as many as one in 10 hospital meals – more than 80,000 every day – are estimated to be thrown away untouched. Never mind the hair-splitting over whether in-house caterers or their outsourced counterparts are delivering a worse service. Both are unacceptable.
First, then, hospitals' self-interested "surveys" must be consigned to history. But the issue of patients' meals must itself also be tackled.
The past two decades have seen a string of attempts to solve the problem, all of them voluntary, some with an extra boost from a celebrity chef. None has worked. Meanwhile, the simplest and most effective mechanism has been ignored.
Where schools and prisons must adhere to strict guidelines as to the quality and nutritional content of the food provided, a hospital has no such strictures upon it. It is time to end the anomaly. Clear standards, carefully monitored, are needed forthwith.Reuse content

His drily hilarious patter is reminiscent of the late Ronnie Scott. Herbie Flowers is 60 and still playing. "Some musos work at it but I play music."
He has just been recording a new album with George Harrison whose guitar collection is being renovated by a specialist. When Flowers opened his terminally wrecked guitar case the restorer fell upon the battered instrument with a wild cry: "A November 1959!" Flowers claims that his bass was virtually a prototype, so old it didn't even have the "Fender" transfer on the neck. "They say it's worth a lot of money but that's a load of rubbish."
He began his musical career as an RAF bandsman playing the tuba and the double bass. This nurtured his ability to sight-read anything thrown at him and later made him an ideal session musician - "In those days if they wanted 30 minutes of music you really recorded it in 30 minutes".
He earned what he regarded as a fortune playing for artists who were paid the earth. He illustrates his anecdotes with illustrative touches across the strings to form a running game of Name that Riff: "Thank You Very Much" (for The Scaffold), "It's Not Unusual" and "Delilah" (for Tom Jones), "Where do You Go to My Lovely" (for Peter Sarstedt) - "That song had 37 verses when he came in the studio".
The Scaffold job earned him pounds 6; David Bowie's "Major Tom" earned him a princely pounds 9. He was later to tour the States playing bass for Bowie. "I played for him, not with him - there's a difference".
As multi-track recording was introduced, journeymen musicians such as Flowers were used increasingly to replace the weak elements in famous groups. Flowers remembers standing behind the curtains at the Royal Variety Performance while the band out front mimed to his playing. "It's like conjuring really."
It becomes clear that Flowers is a pop musician by trade but a jazzman by nature - "sensible music" as he puts it. He still plays bass guitar with the same rubber-fingered facility and makes the Fender resonate like a Strad, but you can see that the two-note riff is way beneath him.
Best story of the night (night? what am I saying? It was lunch time; it just seemed like three in the morning) was his recollection of how he and Mick Ronson woke up this bloke who was lying asleep on the sofa. He wanted an A then an E then an A then an E. Flowers recreates exactly his sublime performance on "Perfect Day" and shrugs. "Two notes! It's supposed to be legendary but it's bollocks."
Herbie Flowers, Graffiti, 1.30pm-2.30pm, to 31 August.

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by Canadian BoyzFan, Mar 16, 2006.
Link coming.......
That's interesting. It's good that they have another young QB option they can turn to besides Joey Harrington.
This has been speculated on the NFL network to a point that it had to be true. I'm just not sold on McCown being anything other than a journyman.
David Harrell - Pokes
Everytime time I hear McCown's name I get visions of Roy launching him 15 yards backwards through the air in the Arizona game this past season.
Not to mention Keith Davis nearly beheading him a few plays later as he tried to make it out of bounds.
Man he took a beating in that game! I actually kind of gained a little respect for the dude.
Being reported by ESPN (Pastabelly and Colin Cowerd).
Still no written link....I'm on it though.
Lions ink free agent QB McCown
By Len Pasquarelli
In a move that likely augurs the imminent departure of starting quarterback Joey Harrington after four disappointing seasons, ESPN.com has learned that the Detroit Lions on Thursday signed unrestricted free agent Josh McCown, who had played his entire career with the Arizona Cardinals.
McCown, 26, signed a two-year contract worth $6 million, a deal that will pay him $4 million in 2006 between his signing bonus and base salary. The addition of McCown comes just two days after Detroit signed former Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jon Kitna to a four-year, $11.5 million contract that has a signing bonus of $3.5 million.
League sources said that the acquisitions of Kitna and McCown will result in the release or trade of Harrington, who was the third overall player selected in the 2002 draft. Harrington is due a roster bonus of $4 million on June 15 and is scheduled to have a 2006 base salary of $4.5 million.
Releasing or trading Harrington, who has compiled an 18-37 record as a starter, will save the Lions about $5.4 million in 2006 cap space.
First-year head coach Rod Marinelli and offensive coordinator Mike Martz both suggested in recent days that they viewed Harrington as the starter. The public support aside, team and league sources acknowledged that the new coaching staff did not regard Harrington as much as they claimed and that the Lions were actively seeking out alternatives.
The plan now is to allow Kitna and McCown to compete for the starting job.
In McCown, whose resume includes 22 starts, Martz is getting a young, talented quarterback that he might be able to mold in much the same manner he did past protégés like Trent Green, Kurt Warner and Marc Bulger. McCown has appeared in 33 games and completed 498 of 862 passes for 5,431 yards, with 25 touchdown passes, 29 interceptions and a 72.1 efficiency rating.
The strategy of McCown's agent, Mike McCartney, was to sign his client to a short-term deal and with a team where he could legitimately compete for the starting job, and then get back to the bargaining table for a bigger contract. The plan is the same blueprint McCartney and his associates at Priority Sports used with Jake Delhomme three years ago.
The Lions invested a lot of time and money in Harrington, a former Oregon star, but apparently have decided that, with a new coaching staff, his shelf-life in Detroit has expired. Harrington, 26, started in 55 of 58 appearances and completed 986 of 1,802 passes for 10,242 yards, with 60 touchdown passes, 62 interception and a 68.1 passer rating.
Is it possible that they would release Harrington?
If so, would we be interested?
Nice pickup- Harringtons gone.......Dont see Josh signing as a backup.
Yes, already being speculated on.
here's pft's take...
We've learned that the Detroit Lions will part ways with quarterback Joey Harrington by the end of the coming weekend.
On Monday, the Lions launch their offseason program. And the organization has decided that Harrington should not and will not be part of the equation at that time.
The Lions, we're told, will try to trade Harrington before cutting the cord. But it's highly unlikely that anyone will offer anything of value for the guy who was selected behind only David Carr and Julius Peppers in the 2002 draft, especially since Harrington is due under his current contract to receive a hefty roster bonus in June.
So look for Harrington to hit the market very soon. And don't be shocked if he ends up visiting with the Lions' NFC North rivals in Minnesota, given that the Vikes are now looking for a quarterback of the not-too-distant future

Black mark at Granada
Has the recent detente between Granada grand fromage Chas Allen and Carlton head honcho Michael Green ended in acrimony, as many predicted? Chas turned a few heads last week when he turned up at a TV advertising conference in Bath sporting a shiner under his right eye. 'Charles says he slipped and fell,' a helpful source says. Diary quotes Mandy Rice-Davies: well, he would say that wouldn't he?
The late Dominic Mohan
Troubling to hear that the genius who is former Bizarre editor Dominic Mohan has adopted in his social life the preposterous affectations he used to inflict on those he interviewed. Dom arrived at his own party at MoMo last Wednesday a regal hour-and-a-half late - the same time he once kept Sir Elton waiting, Diary opines. How the assorted minor EastEnders stars, C-list celebs and Gareth Gates managed to pass the time without his presence is hard to guess.
Only the facts were wrong
Huge embarrassment for Sharfta organiser and The People 's Mr Showbiz, Sean O'Brien. His top lead last week about the Appleton twins being dumped by their label, Polydor, was, to quote an industry expert, 'total bollocks'. This weekend Sean is set to win an award himself - for one of the fastest apologies in Fleet Street as he eats copious humble pie in print in a bid to placate m'learned friends.
Come to Docklands - please
Just how bad can it be working in that jewel in the East of London, Canary Wharf? The answer seems to be 'very' if you're an executive with Nat Mags, publisher of Cosmo. Diary hears that the company is offering a staggering £1 million to any business which will take over its Docklands lease, so desperate are bosses to dispense with the cash-sapping thing.
Hello! loses some beautiful homes
Hello! magazine might have tried to put a positive spin on the result of the court case brought against it by Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas, but it appears that the recent bout of legal fisticuffs is now having a terrible effect. Diary hears that the mag is to drop its property section as part of a cost-cutting exercise. How heartbroken readers will cope without being able to peruse lavish articles extolling the cream of the Buenos Aires real estate market can only be imagined.
Nursing a grudge
Tales of horror from hacks despatched to cover the Royal College of Nurses conference last week. The poor lambkins, many of whom have not seen the inside of anything less than five-star accommodation for years, arrived at a once-grand hotel weary and ready for bed. 'It was like Fawlty Towers,' says one. 'You left your bags by the desk and they were still there in the morning. There was a queue of people waiting to complain by the desk. You could hear the staff in the kitchen who might have been duffing each other up or simply dropping plates.' Oliver Wright of the Times, a good 6ft and then some, was given a child's bed. The Telegraph 's Celia Hall was ordered from her breakfast table by a waitress because she had chosen it herself. The Mail 's Beezy Marsh had a post-midnight row with the management because the water pipes rattled every 10 minutes. Seems that colleagues over in Basra got off lightly.
Have we got news for you
Another Sunday and another Diary world exclusive which may yet see this column clinch a coveted job as a 3AM girl. Diary can reveal that ITV is looking to develop a rival to - wait for it - the BBC's Have I Got News For You. Top of the list of presenters for the new prog is a man who has in recent months felt all too acutely the hot breath of a baying press pack on the back of his neck. No, not Angus, but one John Leslie.
You are not invited
Oh boys, how petty. Diary hears that strict instructions have been issued to Virgin Radio staff that on absolutely no account must any of the station's ex-employees now employed by Chris Evans' UKTV be invited to this week's tenth birthday bash. Incidentally, on the off-chance that hell freezes over and Evans is invited, he can't attend - the ginger one is laid up at his Hascombe estate with an injured leg, the result of some footballing activity.
FT serves second helpings
Following the FT 's decision to give away editions of last weekend's magazine with last Thursday's paper, Diary is selecting one of its many brilliant stories from the past to give away again next week. If this idea catches on, we'll simply repackage last Autumn's fun-filled columns and take June off. 'No FT, no old magazines'. Not a brilliant catchphrase, but it could achieve cult status.

Naughty Abi Titmuss won't stop her urge for some hardcore anal fucking even when her boyfriend would feel all tired and burnout from work. She'd turn on their camera, strip naked, spread her legs and give him one hell of a blowjob until his dick grows too big for a wild and rough ass-plowing. Titmuss is always successful with her plans of taking this dude in bed whatever his mood might be. And one thing's for sure, proven by this leaked video, he never regrets giving in to her wild fantasies.
Abi Titmuss banged in the ass by hung boyfriendAugust 1st, 2016
Abi sucks and fucks rough!
No longer a mystery as to why voluptuous Abi Titmuss never settled down. As someone who likes attention from horny men in various aspects of her career, she ain't the type of woman who will be satisfied sucking and fucking a single dick for the rest of her life. She's going to waste those huge breasts and curvy body if she's not gonna share it around. Here's one of her FHM buddies while they're having fun before a shoot. Abi gets her cunt played with. Blowing and riding a boner like a pro are also her favorite pastimes.
Britain's Naughtiest NurseJune 29th, 2010
"I'm not like those glamour girls who say 'I'm really dirty, I'm really bad', then just pose around," Abi Titmuss once said in an interview. "I really am dirty AND bad – I just love sex!" Abi Titmuss is known for her big tits, her frankness and her tendency to utter shocking statements. This blonde bombshell used to work as a real English nurse. Seriously. Abi got her nursing degree from City University in St. Bartholomew's Hospital and became a staff nurse at London's University College Hospital before she traded in her nurse's uniform to become an actress, television personality and glamour model. She also worked at theRoyal Brompton Hospital. It was there that she was harassed by a senior house officer. Her harasser was eventually found guilty of misconduct by a General Medical Council tribunal.
Abi took up presenting on pornographic channel Television X, she released a fitness video and wrote an erotic novel published by Black Lace. All this led to personal appearances in nightclubs all over UK and Ireland and photo spreads in what Abi refers to as "lad's magazines". Today, she's the UK's current number one pin-up girl. "It's amazing to be a sex symbol," says Abi. "Men really like the idea that there really are nurses out there like me."

YAYA TOURE admits he feels guilty, is concerned and that the timing could not
be worse.
But the big man promises he will be back soon enough to put it all right. Just
not yet, though.
Not until he has won the African Nations Cup with the Ivory Coast.
Then, he says it will be all guns blazing to become a double champion — with
club and country.
For while Toure is in Africa right now, Manchester City are still high in his
thoughts as he anxiously follows their faltering form.
He confessed: "I do feel a bit guilty. I said to my wife it's difficult to be
away from City right now.
"But if I win the Cup of Nations and then come back and win the league it will
be the most amazing season for me. And I'm very positive we can do it.
"Very positive that the Ivory Coast can win the Cup of Nations. And City win
the Premier League. It will be very hard, very, very difficult.
"But all my countrymen believe we can win the cup and all City fans believe we
can win the League."
Intriguingly, the similarities between City and Ivory Coast are striking. Both
are the favourites, have star-studded squads and have gone decades without
landing a big one.
Yaya was not born the last time City were champions — in fact his dad would
only have been a nipper.
But at least the £24million star can remember the last time Ivory Coast were
Kings of Africa.
He said: "I remember in 1992 when we won the cup. It was unbelievable.
"They were a great team and it was such an exciting game. They won on
penalties and the hero was Alain Gouamene, the goalkeeper, because he saved
two penalties.
"I was only eight years old but I remember it so well. There were big
celebrations, the whole country came to a standstill for four days.
"So I know how special it will be for everyone if we can win it again."
Toure is determined that this time Ivory Coast will live up to expectations.
He said: "We always have a great team and a fantastic squad. In the last four
years we have probably had THE best team but have never won it. It's
time to put that right.
"We need to look and learn from Egypt. They are not a big team full of
the biggest stars but are all together and work for each other. Now we have
to do the same."
There are echoes there for City too — a reminder that the team with the best
players does not always triumph.
And Toure knows top-of-the-table City must prove themselves in what he
acknowledges is the toughest league in the world.
He said: "There's big expectations because we are one of the biggest clubs
"We have spent a lot of money and built an incredible squad.
"Now we have to justify that by winning trophies.
"Our aim is to win the Premier League but I know that's not easy. The Premier
League is the best competition in the world. It is so difficult to win.
"I remember Thierry Henry talking to me about it when we were at Barcelona.
"He said the Premier League was the most difficult league he had ever played
in and now I know why. I have great respect for Spanish football and
Barcelona and Real Madrid are so high — but part of that is because the
other teams are so low. That makes it all too easy for them.
"You will never see Malaga win at Barcelona or Zaragoza at Madrid.
"But the other day we have bottom-of-the-table Blackburn winning at Manchester
United, Aston Villa winning at Chelsea and we lost at Sunderland.
"That would never happen in Spain.
"That's why people all around the world love the Premier League. That's why
this league is so hard to win and why it will be so special for me and City
to do it this season."
It is clear Toure believes neighbours United are the biggest threat. He said:
"We know Manchester United are a strong team.
"They have such fantastic experience, more than any other team in Europe. Even
more than Barcelona, so it is going to be very tough."
But tough is just the way 6ft 3in Toure likes it.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.3 /5 from 227 reviews
The bed pillows are not supportive. I think it would be great if you have a harder pillow as an option
Of the two things very important for me in a hotel, Dorint had a fitness center (open 6 am to 10 pm), but did not have a bath -- shower only. The room was of modest size and although there was a closet, there were no drawers. The room was of modest size, not very spacious, but adequate for my needs.
Loved this hotel, location was less than 2 blocks to the Tram station and minutes to Old Town district. Great breakfast buffet and very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend this hotel.
Comfortable. Nice bar and breakffast Conveniently located for art basel
Stayed one night prior to Viking cruise. Friendly staff, clean room. Easy access to public transpiration. Good restaurants close by.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

"A snowman," Alice said.
"A snowman!" Santa said. "What an odd thing to ask for. Why do you want a snowman, little girl?"
"My name is Alice," said Alice. "And I'm not a little girl. I'm six. And I want a snowman because I've never had one."
"Ho, ho, ho! That's because you live in Dallas!" Santa said. "It never snows in Dallas on Christmas. Indeed, it hardly snows in Dallas at all. So I'm afraid you can't have a snowman, little girl. Perhaps I shall bring you a nice doll instead."
"No!" cried Alice. "If you're Santa Claus, you can bring me anything I want! And I want a snowman!"
She would have stamped her foot, but she was sitting in Santa's lap on a golden throne on the stage of the Majestic Theatre. Santa had come to Dallas to find out what its children wanted for Christmas, which was only two days away. Hundreds of boys and girls had come with their mothers to meet him. They were standing in a long line, waiting to climb into his lap.
"Shame, Alice!" her mother scolded. "That's no way to talk to Santa Claus! Maybe he'll bring you some lumps of coal or some sticks!"
"I don't care!" said Alice. "A snowman is what I want!" She was having a very cranky day.
Mama grabbed Alice's arm and pulled her down from Santa's lap. She marched her up the aisle, past all the waiting children, and out onto the sidewalk, which was crowded with grown-ups carrying packages.
"Maybe he won't even bring you coal or sticks," Mama muttered, helping Alice onto the streetcar.
Neither said another word all the way home.

An Introduction to Fernando Pessoa: Modernism and the Paradoxes of Authorship

Juni 1998
BeschreibungDarlene Sadlier's detailed commentary on Pessoa's work explores some of the cultural, political, and personal implications of the artistic impersonation that made him one of the major figures in modern literature. He created a large gallery of authors, each with his own history, who also wrote essays commenting on one another -- including Fernando Pessoa "himself". Sadlier's study demonstrates the scope of Pessoa's writing, ranging in style from "artless" simplicity to subtle, almost Borgesian irony, and it also traces the ways in which Pessoa's four major "authors" (which he called "heteronyms") are related to one another.Sadlier shows that the four poets engage in a dialogue, enabling Pessoa to dramatize the contradictions in his attitudes toward language, history, and society. And she demonstrates that, while distinct in attitude and style, they nevertheless share a preoccupation with the nature of poetry and are responsible for some of the most unusual and skillfully composed verse in the twentieth century. In striking fashion, they anticipate the postmodern deconstruction of the idea of authorship.Sadlier offers a historical context for Pessoa's work, grounding his poetry in Portuguese culture and the major political and artistic concerns of his day. She presents an especially important commentary on his childhood verse and on the early, formative stages of his writing. Finally, she discusses his posthumous reputation, showing how he has been ironically transformed into a single, apparently unified figure who has become, for many, a symbol of Portugal's national identity.

? THE GUARDIAN: "The key proposal of his pre-Budget statement was to start a debate about how long-term improvements in the health service are to be financed in the wake of the Wanless Report. He did not mention the words "higher taxes" in a brave attempt to keep them out of today's headlines but that is what the debate is all about. And about time too."
? DAILY TELEGRAPH: George Trefgarne writes: "What has happened to Prudence? She, you may remember, was Gordon Brown's special friend, always at his side, exercising a restraining influence and blushing gently. Now she is out of favour. Mr Brown is suddenly becoming footloose and fancy-free with taxpayers money, spending more even as his incomes decline. Perhaps Mr Brown is an Old Labour chancellor after all - he just takes a while to get going."? THE TIMES: Anatole Kaletsky writes: "Mr Brown's chosen strategy reflects his political acumen, as well as his genuine convictions: economics is now Labour's strongest issue, while health has long been the Tories' weakest flank. Nevertheless, the strategy may turn out to be riskier than it appears."
? THE INDEPENDENT: Donald Macintyre writes: "For the best part of nine years, Labour has been trying to move out of the shadow of having been fatally depicted as the irresponsibly high-tax party. Yesterday's pre-Budget report Was the surest sign that it believes it has not only succeeded but can now move on."
? DAILY MIRROR: Paul Routledge, political editor, writes: "This is why we voted Labour - to keep the economy on the move and distribute earnings more fairly. If ever there was a reason to give this government a second term, its name is Gordon Brown."

Romulus's SoulMature
A few minutes later, I could talk too.
"I never knew you saw girls as things to be conquered," I murmured into the night.
Romulus sounded amused. "Did you not?"
"No. I mean, I guessed you enjoyed 'love' and had experienced it many times before, but I didn't really see every feeling that motivated your desire."
"You sound so ... matter-of-fact. So 'Oh, love is just chemicals'."
I shrugged. "It's natural. It's so we can reproduce and continue the human race."
Romulus reached out and stroked my face.
"You don't really think of it solely in those terms."
I nestled into his palm. "No, I don't."
"So, ... when you say you never knew that I liked the conquest element of 'love', what was your reaction?"
"Oh, you're asking if I didn't like it?"
"Mm-hmm," he replied in assent.
"I'm not complaining."
"I guessed you wouldn't."
"Well, you're a bit complacent," I teased.
Through the darkness, I felt Romulus's eyes on my face.
"Can you blame me for feeling a bit arrogant when I just tied my soul to yours?"
Sincerely, I replied "I couldn't blame you if you hadn't."
He grinned. "Fantastic. I conquered you in more than one way, eh Tilly?"
"Yeah, you wouldn't say that if I hadn't conquered your will first."
I lay there in silence, stunned by what I had just said. It felt right to say it: totally right; but the fact that I would never have said it before the soul link made it amazing.
"Are you challenging me for the power in this relationship, Tilly?" Romulus joked, breaking the tension.
"Maybe," I joked back.
He was suddenly above me. He began to tickle me, kissing my neck and shoulders as he did.
"Say that again, darling," he whispered, changing his touch to a shockingly pleasurable caress.
"I ... uh... What was it?" I asked helplessly, losing myself in the feeling. Was it me or was Romulus even more enticing than before?
"Hmm, can't be sure but I think you were promising me I would always be in charge," he said, using my inability to think straight against me.
"Oh, ... right. Well, that sounds like me..."
Romulus chuckled, burrowing into my skin to kiss me with more intense passion - sending it telepathically as if the physical action couldn't bring it itself.
I gasped. "Romulus!"
"I'm in charge," he said, innocently, briefly coming up.
I sighed as I looked at him.
"You're killing me," I told him.
Romulus pretended to look worried.
"Should I be more careful?"
"No," I said, sighing again.
He grinned. "I love it when you let me do what I want." He returned to nuzzling/ kissing me, evoking painfully wonderful reactions from the chemicals which controlled emotion in my body.
When he had finished and we were once more lying beside each other on the cooling grass of the hill we had chosen not to leave, I gazed up through the branches of the lone tree which was serving as a useless chaperone at the night sky. The scene reminded me of the first night and I smiled to myself.
I suddenly remembered something else and sat up abruptly.
"Hey, Romulus, when am I going to be allowed to see your soul?"
"Hmm, now if you like." He sat up too, though his movements were a lot slower and lazier, like those of a cat who had naturally awoken from a deep sleep.
He looked directly into my eyes and I swallowed nervously.
"Just ... just how dark is it?" I asked quietly.
Romulus smiled. "Not too dark. You might even be surprised by the non-omnipresence of the night. Hopefully not too much though."
I laughed. "Yeah, wouldn't it be the worst thing to tie your soul to someone and then put them off you?"
Instead of replying, Romulus gazed deeper into my eyes, until I started to feel a little dizzy.
"So if you just look into my pupils and let go of yourself...," he said, sounding very much like he was giving me a hypnotic suggestion.
I focused on the black circles with the single light in both of them and didn't resist as they dilated to swallow me up.
And then it was like a curious dream.
I was suddenly standing in a roughly circular space in a cave, the only light being a torch attached to one of the grey stone walls. All around me, there were tunnels, the lengths of the passages and indeed the contents indiscernible.
I turned and saw Romulus standing against the wall opposite the torch.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, surprised.
"Welcoming you," he said, a broad grin breaking out onto his face. He spread out his hands and said "Welcome to my humble abode."
I laughed. "Quit fooling around me - I wanted a guided tour."
He frowned. "Hm, that could take about a year. Shall I just point out the key features?"
"Okay, but you'd better not keep anything important from me. I'm your soul mate now, remember?"
He nodded. He pointed to a random tunnel with a T painted on part of the stone face that was visible.
"That path goes to yours."
"You are joking, right?" I asked in disbelief. "There's a route to my soul from yours?"
"But ... how is that possible? Surely my soul is in ... well, me?"
Romulus snorted loudly. "Forget about the physical, Tilly, we're on the astral plane right now. And believe me, anything is possible here."
"Astral plane?" The name rang a bell. "Hey, wasn't Peter trying to access these?"
Romulus shrugged. "I don't care what my brother was doing. He could have been flirting with you for all I care."
"Well, you would have cared about that," I pointed out.
Romulus shook his head. "He's a pathetic flirt. All he talks about is 'the deeper feeling' and 'a love so pure it will melt your heart'. I ask you. He's practically insane."
"Then why did you get so worried?" I asked, folding my arms against my chest.
Romulus faltered.
"Silly," I said, shaking my head. I walked up to him. "So, where we going?"
He shrugged. "I don't know. Why don't you choose?"
"But I don't know where any of these tunnels lead."
"Neither do I. Have you ever explored your soul, Tilly?"
"Oh... I guess not."
He took my hand. "Choose one. And never ever let go of my hand. You'll regret it big time and I may just lose you forever."
I gulped. "Um, whoa. Can you tie us together?"
Romulus laughed but he conjured some rope out of thin air and tied it around our wrists.
I kissed him and felt instantly reassured. Romulus would protect me: I was sure of that.
He smiled at me.
"So, have you picked one?"
"Not really," I admitted. "Let's just go for the one closest to us." I turned to my right and Romulus and I began walking.
The darkness surrounded us and we ended up blindly navigating along a path that wound like a meandering river.
After what seemed like a very long time, we arrived back in the space we'd been in before.
"What?!" I asked. "That's stupid! How did we get back here?"
"I think my soul wants more specification. Why don't you concentrate on what you want to see? It'll probably appear at the end of the tunnel, then."
"But ... I don't know you enough to know what to think of..."
Romulus looked pained. "Tilly, that's not true."
I looked solemnly up at him.
"All I know is that you had lots of girlfriends, you like the physical aspect of love and you would kill to protect me if necessary."
"Is that really all?" he asked, looking a little deeper into my eyes so that I felt truly guilt-stricken.
"Well, I guess you know me better than myself..." I suddenly had an idea for what I wanted to see. I started running off through one of the tunnels, pulling Romulus behind me, feeling slightly bad when I realised this could hurt him.
As Romulus had guessed, we actually got somewhere this time.
"Wow," I said, as I gazed upon the surface of a lapis lazuli lake.
"What?" Romulus asked, bewildered. "What did you focus on?"
I looked up at him, my eyes shining.
"Your feelings towards me."
Rather than amazed, Romulus was shocked.
My brow furrowed. "Aren't you happy?"
"No! Why would I be happy?" Romulus looked even more hurt than before. He was even slightly angry.
"I ... I thought you'd be moved. I wanted to see the deepest part of you. At least, I thought it would be the deepest part of you." My tone turned bitter as I spoke the last sentence.
Romulus's face softened and suddenly he hugged me. Rain started falling. Wait, rain? In a cave? I looked up but could see no stalactites.
I looked down again and saw that Romulus looked guilty.
"I'm sorry, Tilly," he mumbled, surprising me.
"What for?" I asked.
"Well... it's a bit embarrassing but I thought that when you wanted to see this part of me, you were questioning my feelings for you."
"Oh, Romulus," I said softly, and something about my tone made him look anxious and tense as if I were about to tell him that was one of the other reasons. But I smiled gently and said "You're so ridiculous."
I leant up to kiss him and the most amazing thing happened. A warm pink glow appeared around us and started radiating joy. The glow pervaded the entire cavern and I felt as though drowning in a warm sea.
I pulled back and gazed about us in awe. For a long time, the pink lingered, so out of place in a cave, so out of place in Romulus's soul but so pleasant and gratifying, I couldn't argue against its right to be there.
Romulus's cheeks reddened. "See what I mean about the non-omnipresent darkness."
"Well, I've not seen any yet," I remarked.
"You've not been thinking about the right thing," he said. "We should perhaps go somewhere less ... disappointing after this."
"I'm not disappointed," I told him, and before quite realising, I was doing it, I waded into the sapphire-coloured waters.
"TILLY!" Romulus shouted, yanking me back.
I looked at him, confused. He looked scared.
"No! No, no, no, no, no! Walking into a pool will surely endanger your safety! You can't lose yourself in me, Tilly, you can't. This isn't like in the physical world, where it's the easiest thing to rescue somebody. Drowning in my soul will take you to another part and something will happen there that will make you end up somewhere else again and I won't ever know where to find you."
"Can't you wake me up?" I asked, troubled by this thought. "I mean, this is like some kind of a dream state, right?"
He nodded but shuddered. "You'd be soulless, Tilly. I ... I really can't describe or explain it but it's the worst thing in the world. You'd be mindless, passionless. I doubt you'd even have control over your physical actions. I think ... it might amount to the same as being brain-dead."
I recoiled in shock. "Brain-dead? Like in a coma?! Romulus, that's awful! How does anyone know?"
"I think it happened to someone once," he said quietly, not meeting my gaze.
"But... but... The soul is meant to be lovely. A beautiful, mysterious place. The centre of your deepest emotions. The vessel of all that defines you. And you're telling me it's dangerous?"
"Tilly, think about it," he said, looking uncomfortable with the subject topic. "If it's the centre of your deepest emotions, it's the wildest place in the universe. It contains aspects of your subconscious: and that will include your darkest fears and your worst nightmares. If you get lost inside it... Well. ..." He pulled me further in towards him. "Only a person who knew you inside out would have a chance of finding you. And ... And I don't think that's possible, Tilly. I don't think even I could achieve that."
I stepped forwards so that our bodies were touching and started to cry into him. He held me tightly and kissed my face but the rain was falling again and I sensed that it expressed the emotion that might not be apparent in Romulus's physical being, or mental image, or whatever it was that I was holding onto this minute.
Barely audibly, Romulus said "I need to find you a patrōnus."
"Er, what's that?"
"Oh, it's the Latin for protector. In Asteria, however, it is a mythical creature which is said to reside in one's soul, guarding you from death by overpowering evil forces."
"So ... are you going to look through mine?" I asked nervously.
"Later," he replied dismissively. "But for now, didn't you want to look at my soul?"
I shook my head. "No thanks, Romulus. I'm terrified."
"Tilly, I wouldn't let anything happen to you, you know."
"I know. But still. I can just read your mind, right? In fact, I don't know why I didn't do that in the first place - it would have been a much more sensible idea. I just get carried away and don't stop to think of the consequences-..."
"Tilly," Romulus interrupted, "you're going to get hysterical." He kissed my forehead. "Let's get you out of here."
I sighed heavily. "Let's," I agreed, surprisingly weary.
He hugged me. "Close your eyes, darling."
I did so, and seconds later I was back on Earth ... oh wait, it was Asteria - still staring into Romulus's eyes. I looked away and moved slightly away from him.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"Yeah," I whispered.
He hugged me. I was surprised he hadn't still been hugging me and I was even more surprised to find no rope around my wrist. The soul world was disconcertingly like the physical in that each sensation was so vivid.
"I love you," I murmured.
"I love you too," he replied, beginning to stroke my back.
"I'd like to go to sleep now," I murmured, barely suppressing a yawn.
"Of course. Just let it happen, Tilly. I'll be here."
I smiled sleepily. "How gratifying."
And, lying down and making myself comfortable on the grass, I waited for sleep to overcome my senses. Before it did, I felt Romulus pick up my hand and absently caress my palm. It gave me great comfort to know he was so close and still in love with me. As if he'd ever stop...
'Silly Tilly,' was my last conscious thought, accompanied by Romulus's mental chuckle.

Tom DeLay continued his attempted political resurrection at a Rick Scarborough rally by calling to "bring back" the Constitution "the way God intended it and God wrote it." Yes, he actually has said that God wrote the Constitution himself, presumably in a King James Version.

That depends on whether you asked the younger or older James. He started out fervently anti-witch, but after moving south for the more comfortable throne had seen too many witch-hunters motivated by stark and ruthless greed, and went to far as to write a book denouncing the hunts and the hangings for admirably secular reasons. Besides, after the Guy Fawkes misadventure, Jim didn't want any energy wasted which could better go to dealing with the Catholic problem.

Grover Cleveland was elected president. He (somewhat) reformed the civil service system and tariff policy, though which of those drove any deities out I have yet to discover.
- http://www.pandasthumb.org Area Man
When Grover Cleveland was elected president in 1884, he was the first Democrat elected in 28 years. Maybe DeLay thinks that it was all downhill since then, after nearly 3 decades of Republican dominance came to an end. However, the two parties back then had virtually nothing to do with their current ideological orientations. But this is something that Republicans refuse to understand, always taking credit for their progressive antecedents who would be vehemently unwelcome in today's party; meanwhile, they blame Democrats for the behavior of conservative segregationists who later joined the Republicans.
Another, more likely interpretation, is that he actually meant 230 years ago, which is roughly when the Constitution was written.
Another, equally likely interpretation, is that he's a raving face-anus who has no idea what he's saying.

His advisers would have told him he could never win an election with that spiel and he probably said, "I'm not trying to win a bloody election, I'm just collecting donations from the mugs who want to hear this nonsense. As soon as the money stops coming in, I'm going back into retirement."

(slightly OT, but fun) -If God wants people happy, apparently he wants bigger government…. Even the rich are happier in countries with bigger government!!!
"Bigger government makes for more satisfied people, international study finds."
"People living in countries with governments that spend more on social services report being more contented, according to a Baylor University study". http://phys.org/news/2014-08-bigger-people-international.html
"The effect of state intervention into the economy equals or exceeds marriage or employment status—two traditional predictors of happiness—when it comes to satisfaction," said Patrick Flavin, Ph.D., assistant professor of political science in Baylor's College of Arts & Sciences.
(Read the whole article, it is quite interesting)
"The study's findings held true regardless of whether respondents were rich or poor. The researchers also ruled out alternative explanations such as an individual's health, education level, and marital status as well as the gross national product and unemployment rate of the country that he or she lives in."
Heresy!!! Reality is a commie!!!

Yes – at least that is what your mind thinks (and the same goes for wine too). In Many cases the price equals value heuristic works pretty well, but not always.(This study clearly shows a placebo effect because the pills given were nothing more than sugar. The study also demonstrates that the placebo effect was strengthened with price.)
You are offered two painkillers, one selling at full price for $2.50 per pill and the other discounted to 10 cents each. In most phases of life we all look for bargains but when the issue is health, the cheaper version may not work as well for you.According to a recent study coauthored by Baba Shiv, associate professor of marketing at the Stanford Business School, how well a medication works may be affected by how much it costs—with cheaper products being less successful at stopping pain. "Price can have strong behavioral effects," said Shiv, who co-wrote the paper with Rebecca Waber, a master's student at MIT; Ziv Carmon, an associate professor of marketing with INSEAD business school in Fontainebleau, France; and Dan Ariely, a professor of marketing science at MIT. It has long been known that consumers' beliefs and expectations influence their judgment of products and services. In a separate recent study that measured reactions of brain pleasure centers, wine drinkers experienced more pleasure when sipping a vintage they believed was more expensive. Shiv and his coauthors said that despite the apparent difference in price, the wines were identical. In the study of painkillers, researchers applied electrical shocks to the wrists of study participants before and after they took a placebo they believed was a pain pill. When the results were compared, 85 percent of the patients who believed they were taking the expensive pill reported a reduction in pain from the shocks compared to 61 percent for those in the low-priced sample group. "We have these general beliefs about the world—for example, that cheaper products are of lower quality—and they translate into specific expectations about specific products," said Shiv. "Then, once these expectations are activated, they translate into self-fulfilling prophecies that actually impact our behavior." The experiment may help explain why some high-cost medical therapies are popular when inexpensive alternatives are available, such as prescription painkillers versus over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Shiv has conducted several studies showing that subjects found less expensive alternatives less effective. In one series of studies, participants were given energy drinks that supposedly make consumers feel more alert and energetic. Some participants paid full price for the drinks; others were offered them at discounted prices. The participants were then asked to solve a series of word puzzles. In all three studies, the people who paid discounted prices consistently solved fewer puzzles than the people who paid full price for the drinks. The studies have enormous implications for consumers, especially with regard to medications—both prescription and over-the-counter products. "You might get 10 percent off an over-the-counter medication, but the net result is that you could get less effect than if you bought the medication at full price," said Shiv, who said there could be similar results if a patient buys cheaper prescription drugs from Canada as opposed to paying full price at a U.S. pharmacy. And not only pricing, but advertising also can impact the effectiveness of a product. "Promoting the efficacy of a medication can have significant improvements to a consumer's health," said Shiv. "Advertising, if done well, can give rise to a positive placebo effect." Shiv said that he and his fellow researchers were struck by the strength of the research results. "We thought pricing might shape behavior at the margins, but it turned out to be a pretty strong effect across the board," he said. Moreover, it was clear from the studies that people had no idea that price was actually influencing their performance. "The results signaled to us that this was largely a non-conscious effect," he said.

INTRODUCTION:Calcium channel blockers are frequently prescribed for treatment of cardiovascular disorders. In 2004, there were 10,513 episodes of calcium channel blocker toxicity reported. In 2002, 16% of cardiovascular drug overdose were due to calcium channel blockers, however, 38% mortality rate was observed with this class. Severe calcium channel blocker toxicity is frequently fatal. Standard treatment of calcium channel blocker overdose consists of gut decontamination, fluid resuscitation, intravenous glucagon, calcium, and vasopressors. We describe a case of severe verapamil poisoning with shock and multiorgan failure, successfully treated with high dose insulin therapy.
CASE PRESENTATION:A 40 year old male with HIV, hepatitis C and hypertension ingested fifty verapamil pills, six to eight hours before presenting to the emergency room; with blood pressure of 70/40 mmHg. He was resuscitated with 7 liters of normal saline and received glucagon, calcium, and charcoal but remained hypotensive. He was intubated and transferred to intensive care unit where he received further glucagon, calcium chloride and was initiated on dopamine. Blood pressure remained low (75/40) and he began to exhibit signs of multiorgan failure with decrease urine output and creatinine increased to 2.7 mg/dL from 1.08 mg/dL. Chest roentgenogram revealed bilateral infiltrates consistent with ARDS and he required FiO2 of 1.0. Norepinephrine and epinephrine were initiated, yet hypotension persisted. Ten hours after presentation he was initiated on insulin infusion at 10 IU per hour but remained in shock (80/40). Insulin drip was increased to 40 IU per hour and twelve hours later his blood pressure improved to 115/83 mmHg and vasopressors were discontinued over 24 hours. He was extubated 72 hours after initial presentation with improvement in renal function. Insulin drip was discontinued on day 3 in the ICU.
DISCUSSIONS:Calcium channel blockers can be divided into two major categories based upon their predominant physiologic effects: the dihydropyridines, which preferentially block the L-type calcium channels in the vasculature and the non-dihydropyridines which selectively block the L-type calcium channels in the myocardium. The L- type calcium channels are responsible for myocardial contractility and vascular smooth muscle tone. Non-dihydropyridines such as verapamil, are weak vasodilators but have a depressive effect on cardiac conduction and contractility. Toxic manifestations of calcium channel antagonists include myocardial depression, hypotension, syncope, lethargy, dizziness, seizures, altered mental status and noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. Severely poisoned patients may have profound bradycardia and hypotension that is refractory to standard medications used for circulatory support. Several case reports have described the beneficial effects of the use of high dose insulin and dextrose infusion in the patients with calcium channel blocker poisoning. Insulin appears to act as inotrope, with sympathetic stimulation at a low dose and aids in contractility at a high dose. Insulin also improves calcium signaling mediated glucose transport and intracellular metabolic pathways that increase cytoplasmic calcium concentration which facilitates calcium entrance in mitochondria and sarcolemma, thereby enhancing contractility. High dose insulin therapy requires concomitant dextrose infusion with frequent glucose monitoring.
CONCLUSION:High dose insulin therapy should be considered for treatment of shock in the setting of calcium channel blocker overdose.
