England 137-3 (17.4 overs) ENGLAND WIN BY SEVEN WICKETS!: Huge cheers go around Lord's as Flintoff hits a FOUR off Nel to backward square leg to clinch to match. Freddie hit 31 runs off just 12 balls, he's full of confidence at the moment! England were always favourites after the runs were reduced. South Africa will have to buck their ideas up if they are to avoid a series whitewash under the lights of Cardiff. Be sure to join ol' Cowers then. Nighty night.
England 119-3 (16 overs) 18 required: Freddie Flintoff picks up where KP left off. He knows that imminent showers could undo all their good work, so he wastes no time in hoisting boundaries all over the shop. As the light begins to fade, the white ball is gleaming as it sails over long-on for SIX! England are on the verge here. The tourists are on the brink...
England 93-3 (13.3 overs) 44 required: PIETERSEN CAUGHT! KP welcomes Botha to the innings with a SIX over midwicket, but is caught by Amla two balls later trying to sweep for the same spot. He's done his job though, and rewarded the fans for their patience today. And, after all, isn't that what it's all about?
England 77-2 (12 overs) 60 required: THAT'S THE SPIRIT! Pietersen smashes three consecutive FOURS, two over midwicket and one via extra deep cover. Kallis's head drops, but it gets worse for him when pulls his short ball over midwicket for SIX! Good to see England going for it even though they've sealed the series already.
England 53-2 (10 overs) 84 required: Now Pietersen begins to hit his stride, edging one boundary past third man and whacking another over mid-wicket. England need a few more overs like that to bring this run rate down. Pietersen sends one shot right at Shah and it hits him on the hand! Let's see how he fares once he's back in the crease!
England 36-2 (8 overs) 101 required: Morkel and Philander share a few extremely tight overs. That is until Shah sends the latter straight back ground the ground for his first FOUR of the day. Two leg byes follow before the Middlesex slogger clips the same man over short fine-leg for another boundary.
England 19-2 (4.3 overs) 118 required: BELL EDGES!: After swiping England's first boundary via deep backward point, Ian Bell falls prey to Morkel's full ball and edges it to Boucher! A big cheer for Cap'n KP...
England 9-1 (2.6 overs) 129 required: Shah drives towards mid-off and Philander fields brilliantly to send bails flying JUST as Shah gets to the opposite crease. Shah is indignant, but it's high fives all-round for the Proteas. It's referred to the Third Umpire... NOT OUT! Shah's bat was right on the line as ball hit stumps.
England 4-1 (2.2 overs) 134 required: PRIOR GONE FOR A DUCK! Matt Prior goes for a big swing off Steyn but nicks it middle bat and Boucher is there for the catch! In comes Owais Shah...
England 4-0 (2 overs) 134 required: A good opening from Nel and Steyn, reducing Bell to a couple of knocks for singles and some 84mph+ belters that Prior leaves well alone.
WELL, WELL, WELL: It looks as though England will get to bat. The covers are off, the pitch is being swept and we are slated for a 17:38 (BST) restart. England will have 20 overs in which to do their thing. If their thing turns out to be 137 runs, then they'll win the match. Ian Bell and Matt Prior are out on the field and ready to go...
- - -
INTERVAL - RAIN STOPPED PLAY: Chucking it down doesn't begin to describe what's happening out there. On the plus side, it can't keep this up for very long, unless this truly is the oft-foreseen rain coming to wash the scum from the streets. So, barring an act of vengeful cleansing from above, there could well be some Duckworth-Lewis-based batting from England to come.
South Africa 183-6 (32.1 overs): To paraphrase Tina Turner (ok then, Ann Peebles. Thanks, Memphis Soul pedants); Cowers can't stand the RAIN. It's stopped play again. Surely that's the end of the Proteas time at the crease.
South Africa 179-6 (31.2 overs): FLINTOFF FINISHES PHILANDER! After pulling a four past a diving Broad, Philander gets excited and swipes the next one high for Anderson at long off to gobble up. His head drops as soon as he scooped his shot. He knew.
South Africa 175-5 (31 overs): Philander comes in and makes an instant impact, picking up 10 runs, although nearly half of those are courtesy of leg byes from Flintoff and Broad. Boucher whacks Flintoff away past sweeper cover.
South Africa 158-5 (28.2 overs): NOW GIBBS GOES! Herschelle Gibbs skips across his crease to try and flick Stuart Broad's full delivery over short fine leg but completely misjudges it and the ball rebounds off pad onto stumps! the smiles are back on England faces now.
South Africa 155-4 (27.2 overs): FLINTOFF NIPS DUMINY'S RUN IN THE BUD! After firing a full toss that bangs Gibbs right on the hip (followed perhaps by a wee bit of sledging from the all-rounder), he gets Duminy to launch one high into the air that drops kindly for Bell at short midwicket! This after Duminy had send Patel straight back down the ground for SIX in the previous over.South Africa 141-3 (26 overs): Duminy and Gibbs have got their mojo working as a partnership now. Gibbs sweeps a boundary out of Prior's reach for four, before Duminy pulls one to square leg that Flintoff dives for a can't get. He treats us to some acrobatics though, no doubt inspired by Nastia Lukin et al from Beijing.
South Africa 130-3 (24 overs): Gibbs sweeps a lovely shot over to short fine leg for four from Collingwood. The tourists are chipping away, and add their current rate they'll get to 33 overs for 172.
South Africa 113-3 (20.2 overs): DE VILLIERS GONE! He tried to hook Patel over deep midwicket for the boundary but comes up well short and Flintoff catches! It was a poor shot, almost an afterthought really.
South Africa 100-2 (18 overs): Collingwood comes into the attack. Gibbs pushes him out to third man to bring up the ton for the Proteas.
South Africa 95-2 (16 overs): Shouts for lbw but it was too high on de Villiers. on the next ball he swipes through midwicket for three. Looks like AB is beginning to dig in here.
South Africa 80-2 (14 overs): AB de Vllliers is the new batsman; Gibbs rocks back and pulls Harmison over the top of mid-wicket. The run-rate is still excellent; the loss of those two wickets doesn't seem to have slowed down the tourists' progress.
South Africa 75-2 (11.2 overs): EDGED! DID IT CARRY? YES! Kallis edges Flintoff low...Prior claims the catch, and despite Kallis standing his ground, the third umpire correctly rules in England's favour! The South African captain is a gonner! England get a second wicket to check the tourists' progress!
South Africa 66-1 (9.1 overs): DISASTROUS FROM SOUTH AFRICA! Some really shoddy running from Amla, who is called through for a single by Gibbs only to hesitate half-way down, allowing Shah the chance to run round from mid-on and superbly hit the stumps at the striker's end with a cracking throw on the turn.
South Africa 66-0 (9 overs): Amla cracks four boundaries off Harmison's second over as South Africa continue to race along. Superb start this; England have bowled poorly, much too short on a wicket that is offering a little swing if the ball is pitched up. Amla is 34 not out from 31 balls. South Africa 50-0 (8 overs): Broad is poor on his first over back from the rain break; Amla meets his full delivery outside off with a full blade, the ball running away past cover for four; next ball is down the leg-side, and Amla flicks fine through fine-leg for another boundary.
South Africa 37-0 (7 overs): The players are out and play is underway again. Pietersen makes an immediate change in the bowling, bringing Harmison into the attack for the expensive Anderson. The match has been reduced to 33 overs per side.
2.20 - The chat from the umpire's broom cupboard is that the game will re-start in 10 minutes' time, at 2.30pm. There will be a reduction in overs, possibly to 33 a side.
2.05 - The covers are being taken off by the groundstaff, to the delight of the crowd.
The covers are still on...the rain has eased a little, but it is very murky and misty. Not a great day for cricket.
South Africa 37-0 (6 overs): RAIN STOPPED PLAY! Broad bowls a good over to Gibbs...before the drizzle starts to get heavier and the umpires have no option but to take the players off. Most vexing.
South Africa 36-0 (5 overs): Amla clips off his legs for four off Broad before the bowler gives away more runs with four wides down the leg-side. Gibbs isn't one to miss out on a party; he joins in with three boundaries off four balls from Anderson as South Africa continue to make a positive start, despite the conditions.
South Africa 12-0 (3 overs): Amla edges through slip off Broad for the first boundary of the day, and gets a leading edge later in the over as he tries to work a ball on the on-side. Gibbs rocks back and pings a short Anderson delivery over mid-wicket, a much more comprehensive shot. England need to keep the ball full in these conditions.
South Africa 4-0 (1 over): Gibbs faces Anderson in the first over of the day; he pushes past the bowler for three to get the South African innings off the mark. Reduced overs, remember, so South Africa will be even keener than normal to get things going quickly.
13.17 - YAY! The covers are off, and the players come sprinting out! We're about to get underway! England in particular look really keen to get out there and get this match started.
13.16 - BOOOOOOOOOOO! The hover-cover is coming back on; the rain is steady and hard enough for the covers to be called back on. We're not going to be starting at 13.15.
13.15 - The rain is coming down again, although not too hard. Nasser Hussain is down taking a look at the pitch: a few green patches, perfect for bowling, could be quite damp underneath.
12.53 - England have won the toss and elected to bowl first; probably a good decision because the conditions are still damp and humid. It's not going to be easy batting on a pitch that has been under covers for the last few hours. Meanwhile, South Africa have announced two changes to their side: Philander comes in for Albie Morkel and Ntini is replaced by Nel.
12.45 - England have named an unchanged side from the one that has cruised into a 3-0 lead in this series.
12.25 - Good news, y'all. Play to start at 1.15pm; 39-overs per side
12.05 - It has brightened up a little, and the groundstaff have emerged from their underground hovels like Jawas skuttling out of their sanddune caves.
11.30 - Sorry folks; the rain is still coming down. The covers have been on for hours now; there is a decent crowd in the ground - why, I'm not sure. The sky is a thick, warm duvet of grey; the players like tiny bed mites, dwelling in the damp, sweaty conditions beneath.
11.10 - Pietersen has said this weekend that after the success of getting Steve Harmison back in the England side, he is targetting another of the old guard: "To get Tres [Marcus Trescothick] back in the team would be massive, but he's got his reasons etcetera and that's it." Not much sign of sympathy there, but certainly a signal of intent.
10.55 - The chat in the Sky commentary box is that Makhaya Ntini is past it and destined for the knackers yard. Any thoughts, readers?
10.35 - Very glum out there. I wonder which side would be more disappointed with the rain; England, chasing a series white-wash, or South Africa, who must be desperate to prove that they are not the utter chumps they have proved themselves to be thus far.
10.18 - There are some puddles forming on the outfield, and the rain is fairly steady at the moment. No chance of play starting on time at 10.45. Sorry. Put your feet up for a while; read the paper, enjoy your breakfast.
10.10 - Although the teams haven't yet been announced, there seems no obvious reason why England would change the side that has bullied South Africa like a gang of tooled-up hoodies terrorising a speccy, Peter Crouch-lookalike.
10.05 - The forecast is patchy at best; thunderstorms were expected later in the day, but they appear to have come early. Which isn't good news. It looks fairly grim and grey and, well...wintery out there.
10.00 - Hi kids! Welcome to Lord's...where it has been lashing down. Chances of a prompt start seem thinner than Shane Warne's hairline. Stick with me though; I might be wrong...

Awsome Wheels - Does anyone recognize them?
Does anyone recognize these wheels?
walker evans wheels : Walker Evans Racing 17" Beadlock Racing Wheels id like to get a set of these.
So happy you posted these. I've never seen them and have been browsing for rims while I wait for my 2014 order! These sure are a top contender!
I just looked them up and they are $400 each. I can't afford $2000 for rims. Oh Well. They are nice but not that nice!
even so, you will need to regear choosing those wheels unless you have a rubicon. Those walker evans/ or any beadlock wheels are pretty heavy.
Aside from the cost of the parts, what do you have to do when you regear your jeep? What other costs are involved?
i don't know what year your jeep is or what model, but rubicons come 3.73 or 4.10. all the others are 3.21 or 3.73.
costs to regear is anywhere from 1000-1500 depending on location.
A lower gear "4.10" for example will be able to run 35' tires without the jeep being a dog. A taller gear "3.21" is good for fuel economy but limited to 33's from a preferred standpoint.
at the end, it will be based on preference. It is NOT needed, but very desirable once you upsize your tires.
most people that don't have rubi's tend to get lockers as well when they regear.

Our Mission
Save the Bay™, and keep it saved, as defined by reaching a 70 on CBF's Health Index.
The Chesapeake Bay Foundation's (CBF) mission, simply stated, is to Save the Bay and keep it saved. We define a Saved Bay as having a score of 70 (out of 100) on CBF's State of the Bay health index. Thanks largely to a dramatic reduction in the amount of pollution entering the system, at 70, the Chesapeake Bay and its tributary rivers will be highly productive and in good health as measured by established water-quality standards. The result will be clear water, free of impacts from toxic contaminants, and healthy oxygen levels, able to support living resources in all parts of the Bay.
We serve the Chesapeake Bay watershed which covers 64,000 square miles across six states (Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New York, West Virginia) and the District of Columbia. However, our efforts and accomplishments impact the nation.

How does this organization make a difference?
Self-reported by organization
Since 1967, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) has taken a comprehensive approach to our mission of "Saving the Bay." Our strategic public communications, including print and digital media, have significantly expanded public awareness of the issues facing the Bay. We have worked to restore balance to the Bay ecosystem by advancing strong fisheries conservation and a hands-on environmental restoration program that works to restore the Bay's natural filters, including wetlands, grasses, and trees. Our innovative oyster restoration program engages the public in growing and planting oysters; to date, thousands of volunteers have helped CBF plant 265 million oysters on protected sanctuary reefs in Maryland and Virginia. Our award-winning environmental education program is one of the largest of its kind and has reached 1.5 million people. Through this work, we help individuals to develop a personal connection to local waterways, and motivate them to take action to restore clean water. Finally, CBF protects the Bay by using strategic litigation, ensuring that environmental laws are followed and that restoration progress is safeguarded.

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Program 1
Through CBF's restoration work, we aim to improve the capacity of rivers, streams and the Bay to treat pollution by protecting and restoring the Bay's natural filters through hands-on projects: building shoreline buffers, planting trees and shrubs, and raising oysters.

Supporting Farmers and Reducing Pollution
Over the next ten years, more than four million acres of farmland in Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania will likely change hands as aging farmers begin to retire. How this land is used and if sustainable farming practices are put into place will have a major impact on health of the Chesapeake Bay.
This year CBF worked to reach the next generation of
farmers. We expanded the Grazer's Network, a farmer-to-farmer mentoring program that encourages the use of rotational grazing and other sustainable practices. In addition, we launched Mentors in Agricultural Conservation, a program that pairs students interested in agriculture with CBF restoration specialists to learn conservation techniques and receive job training.
CBF also helped individual landowners and farmers make their operations more sustainable. We worked with 386 farmers to fence livestock from waterways, build buffers along streams and creeks, and access
cost-share dollars.
CBF Recognized for Pennsylvania Restoration
CBF plants trees and builds streamside buffers in Pennsylvania to filter pollution before it reaches our waterways. CBF received the following awards.
• 2016 Pennsylvania Governor's Award for Environmental Excellence
• 2015 Leadership in Conservation Award from the Pennsylvania Resources Council
• 2015 Chesapeake Forest Champion "Greatest on the Ground Impact" Award from the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay (awarded to CBF and several partners in Bradford County)
• 2016 National Good Steward Award from the Arbor Day Foundation
Building a "Field of Dreams" in Southside Richmond
"When I look over that plot of land, I see a 'field of dreams' come to life," says Pat Harris, a trustee of Richmond's Second Baptist Church.
This year, CBF worked with the Second Baptist Church to transform a section of parking lot into a vast community garden. In addition, we installed
sustainable features on the church's grounds, including a 10,000-gallon cistern, which collects rainwater to irrigate the garden. The project is expected to eliminate about 14,000 gallons of polluted runoff each year, while providing educational opportunities and fresh produce to a community in a "food desert" (where access to fresh fruits and vegetables is limited).
CBF's work at the Second Baptist Church is a part of a larger effort to restore small watersheds in the Broad Creek area of Southside Richmond. This underserved neighborhood's creeks were badly polluted—creeks that flow into the James River and finally, the Chesapeake Bay. CBF worked with the community
to assess their needs and install a variety of conservation practices, which were complemented by educational activities, such as gardening workshops.
"I am just amazed how CBF took our vision, created a project plan that would work, [and] gathered the proper resources to help make our dream a reality," Harris says, adding, "there are so many possibilities to look forward to!"

Environmental Education
CBF's award-winning environmental educators lead more than 35,000 students, teachers, and principals on hands-on field experiences and work with partners to develop systemic environmental literacy programs.
Program long term success
CBF's Environmental Education Program introduces K-12 students, teachers, principals and decision makers to the wonders of the watershed and works to heighten sensitivity, increase knowledge, and empower this sub-section of the Bay's citizenry to take positive action for the Bay's restoration.
Program success monitored by
CBF staff and Board against 18 month goals and 5-year Strategic Plan
Program success examples
CBF's award-winning environmental education programs are founded upon a simple idea: people learn best by doing. Our programs allow people to experience local rivers, streams, and the Chesapeake Bay first-hand, enabling them to understand and value our waterways, and develop the motivation to protect them. The lessons learned during these experiences can last a lifetime.
This year our educational programs:
• Touched the lives of 41,032 students, teachers, and adults through hands-on, outdoor educational experiences. This marks an increase of 17 percent over last year thanks to ideal weather conditions and increased efforts to reach new audiences. CBF has 15 educational programs, ranging from multi-day programs at our island centers, to one-day field experiences. All of our programs are tied to state and federal curriculum standards.
• Reached nearly 7,000 students from disadvantaged
communities by working directly with Title I schools.
• Educated nearly 400 teachers through CBF's Chesapeake Classrooms. These accredited professional learning courses prepare teachers to incorporate environmental education into their curriculum.
• Expanded our Student Leadership Program, which prepares highly motivated high school students to lead others to take action to reduce pollution in their communities. This year, more than 80 students attended our week-long summer courses and many others attended events.

Program 3
CBF's Litigation Department uses carefully chosen legal action as another tool for advancing the restoration and protection of the Chesapeake Bay, its rivers, lakes, and streams. Litigation is used to not only protect and enforce the current environmental laws but to bring about environmentally friendly change within our legal system. CBF attorneys argue cases in the federal and state courts within the watershed and file amicus curiae — also called Friend of the Court — briefs in related environmental lawsuits.
Carefully executed litigation serves three primary purposes:
•It spurs enforcement efforts against those who violate laws that were created to protect the watershed.
•It helps define and drive the agenda for public debate over restoration and protection of the Bay.
•It delivers concrete and enforceable progress in resource restoration.

Historic Legal Victory for the Bay
On February 29, 2016, the United States Supreme Court announced its decision not to hear the American Farm Bureau Federation's final appeal challenging the Chesapeake Clean Water Blueprint (the federal/state Bay clean-up plan). This decision let stand the ruling of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, which found that the Blueprint stands on firm legal ground and concludes five years of litigation.
CBF was instrumental in the case, providing legal memoranda and oral arguments before two federal courts, keeping the issue before the public and the media, and rallying a coalition of experts who spoke out in support of the legality of the Blueprint. The stakes couldn't have been higher, as the case threatened to halt multi-state clean-up efforts.
A Cleaner Potomac River
For years, the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) illegally discharged millions of pounds of pollution—including heavy metals, such
as aluminum—into the Potomac River from a water filtration plant in Potomac, Maryland. In October 2015, thanks to a federal lawsuit brought by CBF and partners, WSSC agreed to eliminate more than 2 million pounds of pollution being discharged each year and contribute $1 million towards environmental projects that will help restore the Potomac. As the Bay's second largest tributary, a healthier Potomac River means a healthier Chesapeake Bay.

Advocacy and Educating the Public
The Chesapeake Bay Foundation and its members, more than 200,000 strong, are the strongest and most effective voice that exists for protecting and restoring the Bay and its rivers and streams. We work at local, state, and federal levels for effective laws and regulations that will reduce pollution, restore vital natural systems like oyster reefs, forests, and wetlands, and encourage smart growth in our communities.

Strategic Focus: Pennsylvania
The success of the Chesapeake Clean Water Blueprint is dependent upon all of the Bay states doing their share to reduce pollution. While most states have made great progress, Pennsylvania continues to lag behind. Unfortunately, with 19,000 miles of rivers and streams declared "impaired" by the EPA,
Pennsylvania has some of the most polluted water in the country. To ensure that Pennsylvania's shortfall does not jeopardize the Blueprint's success, CBF is working to raise awareness, reduce pollution, and urge lawmakers to action.
This year CBF:
• Conducted grassroots outreach to Pennsylvania citizens. As a result, 7,100 actions were taken, including phone calls, emails, and petition signatures, urging Pennsylvania lawmakers to take action.
• Built county-level support for clean water. At CBF's urging, 18 counties passed Clean Water Counts Resolutions, encouraging state lawmakers to make clean water a priority. 34 counties have now passed resolutions, representing more than 60 percent of the state's population.
• Created new opportunities for Pennsylvanians to experience local rivers and streams first-hand. Highlights include our first annual "Veterans on the Susquehanna" event, and the "Canoe Classic," a canoe race for high school students.

Instrument details
Real time heavy metal monitoring that puts you in control 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The OVA5000 is the most accurate and flexible online heavy metal monitor available today. The system has a wide ranging capability with water applications including:
- Monitoring waste water discharges to minimise the risks of exceeding consent limits and heavy fine being levied
- Monitoring river water to immediately identify any sources of heavy metal pollution
- Monitoring drinking water to protect from potential metal contamination
- Improving process control through real time feedback
- Applications are well proven with some installations running for in excess of 12 years.
- The electrode analysis system developed by Modern Water has removed the need for any elemental mercury, significantly minimising potential contamination risks and disposal costs.
Data is accessible either via the built in PC or remotely via intra or internet. Alarm relay interfaces can also be provided to trigger events such as valves turning on or off. Connectivity to plant control systems allows fully automated responses should metal concentrations be out of specification.
The OVA5000 is designed to be accurate and robust with a minimum service requirement. The accuracy and reproducibility have been proven during customer trials. Typically +/-10%, often below 5%, which is within the usual reproducibility seen by conventional laboratory analysers, AAS or ICP.
Simple routine maintenance includes verifying pump calibration, cleaning the sample lines and analysis cells, typically a 30 minute task per week. In the unlikely case of component failure, new parts are plug and play, with expensive service engineering call-outs not required.
Modern Water provides global technical support, but where possible we try guide operators onsite to avoid callout costs. With the customers' permission and capability our technicians can even make any necessary adjustments to a networked OVA5000 remotely.
Maximizing the economic and operational benefits of online monitoring for heavy metals whilst helping ensure compliance and environmental protection is what we're all about.

Just to inform you that you are not alone, you are one of many patients Dr. Cooper has ruined .....it seems to be getting worse and worse. The thing is, his MO is to make you think all is fine until 2 yrs, and then he knows you can no longer sue him, so I suggest if you begin a law suit do it now!
He has ruined many people and did nothing to help them, he is a horrible individual......
Now he changed his title from Dr. Robert Cooper to Dr. Robert N. Cooper so that people won't see the reports on him......nice try COOP!
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Story Behind this Recipe
I love the Chinese chive miso paste that is always out on the table at my local Chinese restaurant. So I tried to recreate it at home, relying on my taste buds. The restaurant's version is sweeter, but I made mine spicy. Adjust the amount of spice to suit your taste!

Gentofte University Hospital, Hellerup, Denmark
PURPOSE: The aim of the present study was to test the use of EBUS-TBNA and EUS-FNA in patients with an undiagnosed solid lesion of unknown origin in the lung outlined by CT.
METHODS: The combination of EBUS-TBNA and EUS-FNA was prospective performed in 52 patients. 5 patients with a tumour in the mediastinum and 47 with undiagnosed tumour in the lungs. Bronchoscopy and TBNA have been performed in all patients without obtaining a diagnosis.
RESULTS: A total of 5 tumours and 103 lymph nodes were biosied. EBUS TBNA was positive for cancer in 34 lymph nodes and 5 tumours and by EUS poitive for cancer in 5 tumours and 37 patients. In 3 lesions the specimen was without conclusive material.In 31 patients a malignant diagnose was obtained. In 3 patients a specific non malignant diagnose was obtained (sarcoidosis, thymoma and fungal infection). In 20 patients normal lymph cells were obtained. All the diagnosis was confirmed either by mediastinoscopy or Thoracotomy/scopy. The diagnostic yield was 97% (105/108)The diagnose was obtained by EBUS-TBNA in 29 patients and by EUS-FNA in 28 patients. In 3 patients the diagnose was obtained only by EBUS-TBNA and only by EUS in 28 patients In 1 patient both EUS and EBUS were false negative- the malignant diagnose was obtained by puncture of N1 lymph nodes.
CONCLUSION: EBUS-TBNA is an effective and non invasive method to obtain a diagnose in patients with lesions of unknown origin in the mediastinum and hillar regions.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: With the combined use of EBUS- TBNA and EUS-FNA is not only diagnostic but staging is also obtained with the diagnostic procedure.

In focus: The Aalto Vase
It looks as striking today as it did when it was launched almost 80 years ago. Stephen Doig talks to Finnish glassware specialist Iittala about the story of its most iconic product
The Aalto vase comes in a variety of colours

With its fluid curves and graceful lines, it's a piece of design that looks thoroughly 21st-century modern. That's why it's so staggering to learn that Iittala's beautiful Aalto vase is some 78 years old, having been created in 1936 by the Finnish design masters Alvar Aalto and his wife Aino Marsio. Going on to become a Scandinavian icon, the Aalto vase is regarded as a key piece in the development of a distinctive Finnish style during the 20th century. And it's a testament to the timeless nature of the vase that today, in a rainbow array of colours, it still looks contemporary and relevant.
'I think the key to the Aalto's success is the fact it's remained completely timeless,' says Nina Colliander, communications manager for Iittala. The company's first small glassworks was established in 1881 by Petrus Magnus Abrahamsson in the small Finnish town of the same name, but it wasn't until the 1920s that Iittala was inspired to produce the artistic pieces for which it has since become known.
In 1936, the renowned architect, designer and sculptor Alvar Aalto submitted a design for a vase, created with his wife, into a competition being run by Iittala to find pieces to display at the Paris world expo the following year. It won, and soon there was one on every table at Helsinki's elegant Savoy restaurant, for which Aalto had created custom fittings. This link earned the design its original title, the Savoy vase, but gradually it came to be known by the name of its creator. 'At the time, that shape and the clear form were very striking and revolutionary. No one had created anything like it,' comments Colliander.
The vase's unique, flowing shape was, according to Colliander, inspired by a native Finnish tradition. 'Aalto looked to the shape of the skirt worn by Sami women. Sami people are indigenous to northern Scandinavia – Norway, Sweden and Finland – and Aalto was inspired the shape of their long leather skirts.' The initial prototype of the vase used a method of allowing the glass to expand while it was being blown to create the series of wavy lines. 'It was displayed at the 1937 Paris World Fair – and it's been produced every year since. Every spring we introduce the vase in a different colour, but the shape and the methods involved in making it remain the same.'
It takes seven craftspeople a full 30 hours to create an Aalto vase, in a delicate process that Colliander refers to as 'a carefully choreographed dance, each gesture and assignment working together to make the piece'. The process – 12 stages in all – starts in the original factory in Iittala, where a mixture of sand, sodium and calcium carbonate is heated to 1,100 degrees Celsius to create molten glass. The glass mass is then shaped on to a blow pipe using a wooden paddle, and textured using cardboard and a wooden block. Next the piece is inserted into a mould to be blown in the distinctive Aalto shape. Finally, it's slowly cooled, cut and polished – every step completed by hand.
The process remains virtually the same as when the vase was created so many years ago. 'It has really become an icon of Finnish design and of our brand,' says Colliander. 'We're proud to have created something that sits alongside world-leading design pieces and still looks as beautiful today as it did when it was created.'

text: Crystal Baller: Gold iPad Airs, tap-to-pay on iWatch, and 10 other wild Apple rumors By Buster Hein • 7:31 am, September 5, 2014 NewsTop stories FULLSCREEN The end of iPhone rumor season We get slammed 24/7 with new Apple rumors. Some are accurate, most are not. To give you a clue about what's really coming out of Cupertino in the future, we're busting out our rumor debunker each week to blow up the nonsense. iPhone and iWatch rumor season is nearly at an end, and with Apple's big event just a week away, everyone from analysts to bloggers are trying to get in their last minute predictions. Will we really see a gold iPad Air 2 on September 9th? Does the iPhone 6 have a programmable home button? Is that mysterious white building next to the Flint Center really for a U2 concert? Step up to our crystal ball to see which of this week's rumors are bangers, and which are bound to be duds. No iWatch on Sept. 9th? The Rumor: The iWatch won't even show its face on September 9th. The Verdict: Sorry DigiTimes, but the iWatch is definitely going to be at the event. Banks give Apple a break The Rumor: Banks are cutting Apple a huge deal on transaction fees to participate in its mobile payments play. The Verdict: Sounds about right. Anytime Apple enters a new market it squeezes the competition by setting up super deals with the content creators, or in this case, the people running your payments. iWatch with 8GB of storage The Rumor: iWatch will get 8GB of internal storage and 512MB of RAM. The Verdict: Probably. Users won't be looking to store their entire music libraries on the iWatch, but we'll need just enough room to cram it full of apps. iPhablet gets huge battery The Rumor: The 5.5-inch iPhone 6 will get a massive 2,915 mAh battery. The Verdict: Yay. We've seen the battery leak out of the supply chain a few times already, and based on other rumors, it looks like Apple is reserving some of the best new features for the iPhablet. Gold iPad Air 2 next week too? The Rumor: Apple will reveal a gold iPad Air 2 alongside the iPhone 6. The Verdict: No way. Gold iPads are probably in the cards, but Apple always waits until October to reveal its new tablets, and next week's event is going to be jam packed as is with iOS 8, iPhone 6, mobile payments, and the iWatch. Save some more goodies for later Apple. Programmable power buttons The Rumor: The iPhone 6 will be the first iDevice to get a programmable power button. The Verdict: Too early to tell. Ming-Chi Kuo dropped a fat stack of new Apple rumors this week that are either next-level Apple scoops that no one saw coming, or a sign that "the world's top Apple analyst" is slipping. Advertisment iWatch won't be cheap The Rumor: High-end iWatch units will cost $400. The Verdict: That's it? After hearing about a possible $1000 price point last year, $400 sounds like a steal. As long as the iWatch is more than just a smaller screen for your iPhone attached to your wrist, Swiss watch makers might be screwed. NFC-enabled tap-to-pay The Rumor: NFC will be added to iWatch to make mobile payments a breeze The Verdict: Looks like 2014 is the year of NFC, and as long as it means I don't have to bust out my wallet every time I want to buy a Red Bull, Apple can put a NFC chip in anything it wants. iWatch will charge wirelessly The Rumor: iWatch will have postage stamp sized guts and feature wireless charing. The Verdict: No doubt. No one wants to plug in their wrist watch at the end of the day to juice it up, but you'll probably have to set it on a charging pad at night. Launch date confirmed? The Rumor: Dutch carrier confirms September 19th launch date for iPhone 6. The Verdict: Mark your calendar and get ready to wait in line for hours, because the iPhone 6 will definitely be in stores on September 19th, but the 5.5-incher might be in low supply. Reversible USB The Rumor: Reversible USB cables won't be included with iPhone 6. The Verdict: Most likely not. Based on leaks, it doesn't appear that Apple is producing them en masse yet. Looks like we'll have another year before Lightning cables are reversible at both ends. U2 to rock the Flint Center The Rumor: U2 will play at the iPhone 6 event and preload its new album on every iPhone. The Verdict: Sounds too bad to be true. A U2 appearance isn't going to elevate the iPhone/iWatch event to the next level, and you'd have to think Tim Cook would hire someone a lot cooler than U2 (I heard Kanye's got a secret new album he's ready to release). Representatives for U2 have already squashed the rumor, but some of U2's worst fans are still holding onto hope. Leave a comment

REXBURG — It was at least 64 years ago when Vernon Edstron attended seminary class each school day at the Spanish-colonial style building across the way from what was then Madison High School.
But the 82-year-old's recollections remain clear.
"The memories I have here are very good memories," he said.
Now, that building's future is in limbo.
Last November, the Madison School District 321 school board voted to demolish the 77-year-old, aging structure and replace it with additional parking. The building, which has been vacant for several years, is in need of extensive and costly repair, Superintendent Geoffrey Thomas said.
This past spring, as demolition neared, members of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers became aware of the plan and gathered community support to stop it. The tear-down was halted indefinitely and the issue, put on the back burner. At this point in time, Thomas said demolition is unlikely — but that doesn't solve the whole problem.
"I'm not sure anyone on the board or in district administration recognized there was any kind of sentimental attachment to the building," Thomas said. "Knowing that, we're not going to demolish the building in the foreseeable future. But at the same time, we don't have any plans to fix the building — it's very old and we haven't used it for years. The cost of renovation and maintaining it is extensive … we want to direct our resources to the kids and their needs and not to maintaining an ancient structure in the district."
The structure was built in 1937 by well-known Rexburg contractor Charles J. Zollinger. Zollinger led construction efforts on a number of other area buildings, including the Madison County Courthouse in 1919, according to Madison County resident historian Lowell Parkinson.
Many of those feature a similar Spanish-colonial revival-style architecture characterized by features including wrought iron detailing, red tile roofing and prominent arched windows.
"It was very unusual for the area; definitely very unique to eastern Idaho," Parkinson said. "I think that's really what makes it stand out."
Until 1964, the building was used for weekday scripture classes for youths in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Over the years, Parkinson estimates thousands of LDS youth passed through its doors.
One of those was 83-year-old Nina Hathaway. She fondly remembers the year 1947, when she, along with other seminary students, took a trip to Salt Lake City for the 100th anniversary of the Mormon pioneers arriving in the Salt Lake Valley.
"It was very, very exciting," she said. "It was my first time on the other side of Pocatello."
In 1975, the church sold the structure to District 321. As a school district building, it mainly was used to house special services, such as the district's special education director, speech language pathologist and school psychologist. Those programs were moved out in 2010 due to concerns about the building's condition, Thomas said.
Since that time, it's sat vacant.
Going forward
The district has opted not to restore the building, as repairs and maintenance costs run too high.
"We don't want to put new wine into old bottles," Thomas said.
Renting or leasing the structure also is unlikely, Thomas said, as the district doesn't want to be liable for injuries.
Selling the building isn't simple, either. It sits on about six acres of district-owned land. Thomas thinks it's unlikely the school board would opt to sell just a small portion of that.
"We don't want to piecemeal the property," he said. "It would require a significant amount of money to (purchase the whole property) in order to entice the board to sell."
The board has no plans to revisit the issue in the near future, Thomas said. So, for the time being, the building will remain vacant.
In the meantime, the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers, along with Preservation Idaho, a Boise-based nonprofit that works to preserve the state's historic structures, have teamed up in effort to find a way to preserve it.
The Daughters are currently working to raise money for an independent appraisal, member Ronalee Flansburg said. With that official valuation, Flansburg said the group will be better able to negotiate with the school board.
"We're hoping to (eventually) make an offer to the school district that will meet what they need in the building," she said. "They have a budget … and they do need money. We're trying to find a way to get them the money they need — in which they could sell that piece and still be able to sell the rest of it.
If everyone just tears down old buildings and builds new ones, every town in America will start to look the same. I think it's important for our kids to see some of our history."

Finding Freedom from Manic Cycles and Alcoholism – Meet Doug
Many who suffer from bipolar symptoms or depression often go through a number of doctors and medications and feel helpless – just ask Doug.
"My mom had tried to have me diagnosed when I was young," Doug explained. But for Doug, that led to a decades-long roller coaster of trying various medications.
A talented musician, whenever Doug cycled into a low mood, he quit composing, had suicidal thoughts, and self-medicated with drugs and alcohol. It wasn't until Doug was in his 50s when he saw a PBS special about Dr. Amen's work. Then, when he came to Amen Clinics, his evaluation and SPECT scans yielded some surprising information about his symptoms.
It was during a manic high that Doug decided to find an Amen Clinic. He didn't want to crash again and was tired of self-medicating with alcohol. He immediately lined up a Full Evaluation. When Doug saw his brain SPECT scans, the Amen Clinic psychiatrist pointed out evidence of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) sustained in childhood. It was likely causing or aggravating some of his symptoms, and there were specific medications and nutritional choices that could help.
Book an Amen Clinics Full Evaluation – call now
Doug is impressed with the comprehensive treatment he received. "Part of the prescription for my well-being is Omega-3s, eating healthy, not watching more than 30 minutes of TV per day, exercising for at least 30 minutes, and making music again," Doug said. "It's been a life-altering experience; I can be creative without drugs or alcohol in my life. I'm very thankful and grateful."
There are depression and bipolar treatment approaches that yield transformative results & TBI is a root issue in many cases. Call now and book your evaluation.

by Alito L. Malinao
MANILA, June 19 (Xinhua) -- As if the lower-than-expected gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the first quarter of this year was not enough, inflation rate in the Philippines has risen while the local currency has shown signs of weakening.
The Philippine economy grew by only 5.7 percent in the first quarter, slower than a revised 6.3 percent increase in the previous three months. It was the slowest expansion in more than two years.
On Wednesday, Amando Tetangco, Jr., chief of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, the country's central bank, admitted that the BSP is mulling some measures to arrest a further rise in inflation rate.
The country's inflation rate accelerated to 4.5 percent in May from 4.1 percent in the previous month. This was the highest rate in 30 months.
Tetangco Jr. said that risks to price stability continue to mount, increasing the chances that monetary authorities would move once again to siphon off more cash from the economy to curb excess demand.
Earlier this week, Tetangco cited several factors that would lead to upward revisions of BSP's inflation forecasts for this year and 2015, moving closer to the top end of the official target range of 3-5 percent.
Tetangco's candid pronouncement on the inflation rate triggered the weakening of the Philippine peso in Wednesday's trading. After opening at 44.02 to 1 U.S. dollar, the peso was traded within a range of 43.96 to 44.05 for most of the trading session before closing at its intraday low of 44.12 to a dollar.
Also on Wednesday, local stocks continued to trade with caution due to concerns on oil price pressures and prospective U.S. monetary tightening.
The main-share Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) slipped by 1.8 points, or 0.03 percent, to close at 6,703.13, weakening for the fourth session in a row. It declined to as low as 6,635.55 in intraday trade but reduced its losses before trading closed.
Analysts here said that escalating violence in Iraq that triggered concerns on potential oil price increases would negatively impact on the value of the Philippine peso and the behavior of the local bourse.
They said that adjustments by the U.S. Federal Reserve, particularly its "lift off" to higher interest rates, could lead to further volatility in financial markets not only in the Philippines but also in other emerging economies in the region.
Tetangco said that geopolitical conditions in the Middle East, particularly Iraq, and China's decelerating economic growth -- both of which could have effects on food and fuel prices -- were also among the BSP's chief concerns.
The BSP has the ability to influence money supply thereby enabling it to influence the movement in the prices of goods and services. However, the BSP does not have absolute influence over inflation.
There are other important factors affecting consumer prices apart from money supply. Some examples are weather disturbances that affect agricultural production, and movements in world oil prices. These factors cannot be controlled by monetary policy and are, therefore, outside the influence of the BSP.
Meanwhile, China's Ambassador to Manila Zhao Jianhua said Tuesday that China's growth would remain tied to the economic development of the East Asian region.
"Asia is a big family and China is a member of this family," Zhao said in a speech at a forum organized by the Bank of China and the Embassy of China in the Philippines.
The ambassador said he himself was "very impressed" with the economic growth of the Philippines.
"I'm glad of China's role in the growth of the Philippines," Zhao said.
In a statement, the Bank of China has urged further strengthening of economic and monetary cooperation between China and the Philippines "to avoid over-dependence on third party currencies and other negative influences on trade and development. "
The bank has called on Filipino businessmen to take advantage of the Chinese Renminbi (RMB) settlement program for cross-border trade, which was launched in 2009. To date, more than 220 countries globally have begun RMB settlement business with China.

It's time for some serious Italian today.
And what better day than Monday for Italian, right? It's gonna put you in a good mood. Trust me.
Actually, I've been kind of in an Italian mood lately. I'm thinking you'll be seeing more Italian later this week, hope you are cool with that.
So have I told you guys about my dad yet? I mean I know I have talked about him, but have I also told you how amazing he is? Let me just brag about him for a second because it sort of ties into this recipe.
See, my parents are currently in Mt. Hood Oregon for a while with my youngest brother Red (PLUS my oldest, second oldest and third oldest brothers. PLUS my brother just below me and little miss Asher (who I miss so much!). They are there so Red can train up on Mt. Hood with the US Snowboard team. They go every summer and this is the first summer I have not gone too.
Thank God. I cannot handle anymore snowboarding in my life. A break was necessary.
But anyway, my dad works as a bond broker. This means he works on East Coast Time, meaning in Oregon he gets up at 4am for work and finishes at 2pm. This also means that he has some time to kill in the afternoons.
You know what he does? He searches for places in Portland to check out on the weekends. What kind of places? Old vintage shops. Shops full of junk that I might possibly be able to use for photos. You see I get really bored of using the same dishes and things in my photos so I am on the constant look out for new stuff… or really my dad is, because he is just the best. He actually takes the time to rummage through all the junk, take pictures of it and send those said pictures off to me so I can look at them and give him the big thumbs up or thumbs down (*Side note: I totally just put my thumbs up and down as I wrote that. Nerd alert). I mean, come on. I am pretty sure I have the bestest dad ever.
I also have to give a big shout out to my mom and very sick younger brother Kai (he has strep and they went rummaging after they stopped at the med center) for helping him out this past Saturday. Oh and Asher too, but I am sure she might have done more damage than help. I hear Kai was a major trooper though. So thank you!
Mom and Asher always tag along because my parents are weird and never like to be apart. You would think that after 30 years together they might be sick of each other by now, but nope. Also, I feel I should say that my mom wants to help me too just as much as my dad and does not mind spending her Saturday in hot, dirty vintage shops, but my dad's just really into it. I guess the point of the story is that I am currently feeling really grateful for my parents. I couldn't have chosen better ones, even if I tried.
So how does this all tie into this recipe?
While a while back my parents went to Leadville, CO for the day. I can't remember if they were going just to look at vintage shops or if they had a hike over that way they wanted to do too, but they stopped in a shop and came home with all these old cookbooks. Most of them where duds, but there where two really cool Italian ones that I kept. I hadn't really looked through them until last week though.
And that's when I came across the Mozzarella in Carrozza.
Mozzarella in Corrozza means mozzarella in a bundle (the bundle being the bread) or something like that. I guess "in carrozza" actually means "in carriage", so mozzarella in a carriage. I think what everybody is trying to get at is the idea of mozzarella encased in bread. Dumbed down to my level, I take it as just some fresh mozzarella in bread that has been dipped in eggs and fried.
That's really all it is.
And it's so good.
I added basil to mine because it's summer and I add basil to all my summer meals. All of them.
The recipe in the book (which I cannot read the name of because it is in Italian) served this with an optional anchovy paste and while I bet that was good, I did not have any anchovies, so I went with summer fruit. It never fails me.
The blueberry balsamic jam is the perfect topper to this mozzarella in carrozza. It sinks into the warm and ooey, gooey, melty mozzarella and it is all kinds of delicious. Seriously, it's the simple things in life that are so good.
Mozzarella in Carrozza (Fried Mazzarella Sandwich) w/Blueberry Balsamic Jam.
- 4 slices sourdough or italian bread
- 4-6 ounces fresh mozzarella sliced thin, or can also used smoked mozzarella
- 8 slices fresh basil leaves plus more for serving
- 1 cup of milk
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 4 eggs
Blueberry Balsamic Jam
- 2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar 1/8 cup brown sugar and 1/8 cup honey also work
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 lemon juiced
Blueberry Balsamic Jam
Add the blueberries, coconut sugar, balsamic vinegar, and lemon juice to a medium size sauce pot. Place the pot over high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling use a potato masher to break down and mash the blueberries. Continue to cook for 5-8 minutes or until the jam has reduced and thickened by half. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon basil if desired. Store in a glass jar in the fridge for up to two weeks.
Mozzarella in Carrozza
Place the bread slices on a cutting board. To make tow sandwiches, divide half the mozzarella among two slices of bread and then place the basil on top. Place the remaining mozzarella on top of the basil. Now place the top slice of bread on each of the sandwiches.
Next, add the milk, flour and eggs to three separate shallow dishes (I used pie plates). Whisk the eggs. Add the parmesan to the flour, tossing to mix the two together.
Add the olive oil to a large heavy bottom pot, filling the pot about 1-2 inches with oil. Warm the oil over medium heat until hot, about 350 degrees F.
Working in a line (milk, flour eggs), dredge both sides of the sandwich through the milk. From the milk move to the flour/parmesan mixture - dredge both sides generously in the flour, then lift the sandwich and dredge the EDGES. Now move to the eggs and do the same, dredging both the sides and edges of the sandwich until completely covered in egg. Place on a plate and repeat with the other sandwich.
When the oil is ready place one sandwich in at a time and fry for 3-4 minutes, carefully flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden. Remove and place on a plate. Slice in half, sprinkle with fresh basil and drizzle with the warmed blueberry jam if desired. EAT right then, while melty, hot and delicious!
Simple and delicious on a Monday – NICE.
