Unions have accused Boris Johnson and London's transport authorities of "gambling with passenger safety" in the runup to the first of two planned 48-hour strikes on the London Underground.
Tube workers from the RMT and TSSA unions will strike on Wednesday and Thursday after talks collapsed at the conciliation service Acas over plans to cut almost 1,000 jobs and close ticket offices across London.
The union leaders appealed for face-to-face talks with the London mayor, saying that they would call off the strike and join talks if he withdrew the planned job losses. The strike is likely to cause massive disruption in the capital. Transport for London said a skeleton staff and volunteers would attempt to run some services throughout the strike.
RMT leader Bob Crow said: "It's not a dispute of our making. It's about the entire future of the London Underground."
He said that cuts made by the chancellor to TfL's funding could only come through cutting investment or staff – and the former had been ruled out.
London Underground says the dispute is about the "modernisation" of the Tube and says it is continuing to consult employees over its plans which would, it claims, see more staff in public areas of Tube stations despite the job losses. Its managing director, Mike Brown, has pledged that after the planned job cuts, every station will be visibly staffed and controlled during operating hours and there will no be compulsory redundancies for staff who are willing to change their job role.
Brown said: "Our customers and staff are at the very centre of our plans for London Underground. In future, there will be more staff in ticket halls and on platforms to help customers buy the right ticket, plan their journeys and to keep them safe and secure.
"We're committed to implement these changes without compulsory redundancies and there'll be a job for everyone at LU who wants to work for us and be flexible."
The unions have again requested a meeting with Johnson, who made a campaign promise in 2008 to halt the closure of ticket offices. Manuel Cortes, the leader of TSSA, said: "I think people will be amazed that he has never met the representatives of the people who keep the Tube running."
He said the plans showed that Tube bosses were "prepared to gamble with passenger safety" by giving supervisors responsibility for six stations instead of one. "You can't talk about people being redeployed when 953 of them are going to lose their jobs," he said.
Meanwhile, Crow rebuffed criticism of his holiday in Brazil last week. Photographs of him sunbathing appeared in the Daily Mail on Saturday but said he would have returned if needed and was in constant contact with negotiators, even though Johnson had refused to meet him for years. "I said I would be back if needed, but I have not been involved in the talks. It has made no difference whatsoever," Crow said.
TfL said that they would run limited services from 7am to 11pm on the strike days, with TfL ambassadors and volunteers on hand to provide customers with travel information and advice.
London Underground services during the strike
Bakerloo line Limited stopping service in central areas from Queen's Park to Elephant & Castle

Teal Tie Dye Wide Band
It's exactly what I hoped it would be. Once laid flat, It's more like a tube than a common headband. The nylon fabric is soft and fun to play with but it's also tremendously stretchy. This may not be a good thing if you have a small head or very straight and slippery hair. It could possibly stretch out over time, but for now, it's perfect and I plan on getting a few more.
Quality is seriously lacking
These headbands come in the cutest colors! Unfortunately the quality is terrible! The fabric began to unravel before I even had a chance to wear it for the first time! Really disappointed.
Hello pygmyyogi, Sorry to hear about your headband. Someone will be in touch. -Free People
This is a quality, comfortable headband that I would definitely buy in other colors had the stock not diminished so quickly! It can be worn wide or thin as material is quite soft/stretchy, very easily manipulated. I ordered the carbon color as I wear a lot of black...however, it was not exactly as pictured online: when I hovered the mouse over it online, it showed gold and silver metallic streaks throughout the black fabric. Upon receipt, it's simply black with thin gray streaks through it. Definitely still worth keeping, but a little disappointing. Hence, the 4 stars instead of 5.
really disappointed
I ordered this in the white space dyed, it looked a clean cream color with finished edges in the picture. What arrived was a totally flimsy scrap of thin , unfinished off white with green flecks material. I had previous bought the Mya headband in the pearl which I loved, in fact this is the first negative feedback I've felt I had to leave. Seriously I don't mind spending the money, but this had neither quality or design. Realistically you could produce 10 of what I received for a dollar in it's country of origin. I return it and was thrilled to pick up the Mya headband in the mint in store, which is awesome, for the same price. It just took a 100 mile round trip drive to make that return. :( Maybe it's a different story with the other patterns...
Bad choice
I was very disapointed, because I ordered the hairband in carbon spacedye (colour) and i got something, that really didn't resemble to the picture at all, except of the fact, that at least, it was a hairband. It was black, and not dark blue as it seemed to me and it didn't shimmer the way it does on the picture, but the shimmer is barely noticeable and it is of poor quality. Very pity!

Boom Street Game Wii Product Description
Get on board, corner the market and make a fortune!
Players become familiar characters from the Nintendo and DRAGON QUEST universes in a board game that challenges them to play the real estate and stock markets wisely to win. Players race around the board trying to accumulate wealth and hit a target value while buying, selling and trading property with friends and family to see who can be the first to cash out. What appears at first to be a simple property-buying board game offers multiple levels of money-maximizing opportunity.
- Players move around one of more than 15 boards, buying shops to build their portfolios and collecting symbols they can cash in at the bank to earn more gold to invest. It takes money to make money, so racing around the board may not be the best strategy.
- To capitalize on their monetary gains, players can make investments, play the stock market, purchase shops and collect shopping fees. When players buy multiple shops adjacent to one another, the property value grows and both shops level up. Other players who land on those squares have to pay an increased shopping fee.
- Players can choose to play as a variety of Mushroom Kingdom characters, as DRAGON QUEST characters or even as their own Mii characters.
- More than 15 game boards with different shapes and layouts are available to provide endless replay value.
- The beginner setting called "easy rules" helps newcomers learn the basics, while the more advanced, "standard rules" introduces more challenges, deeper strategy options and the ability to play the virtual stock market.
- Play against friends with the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

Best diapers
Seriously the best diapers. Not only are they eco friendly but they are the most absorbent diapers I have found. Super gentle my son never gets a rash. I will never use another diaper!!!!
- Karina
Best stuff
I love all the Dr Bronners soaps but this one is by far my favorite for the whole family. I use it as hand soap, dish soap, laundry detergent and also make shampoo by mixing it with coconut milk and coconut oil. I find it's not as harsh as the peppermint one, LOVE it!
- Karina
Bambo Nature Diapers
I bought these for my granddaughter who has ultra sensitive skin. I like the diapers a lot, they are absorbent and the price was excellent. However, even these natural diapers have caused a reaction on her bottom. We slather her diaper area with ointment and that prevents the rash from spreading & getting really bad. Thrive's customer service is great and my package arrived quickly. I will be ordering again. Thanks!
Best Eco Dieper!
Tried them all! By far the best! Used since birth.
- Lou lou
Move with my baby
These diapers move with my son giving him the freedom to run as he wishes. He goes rash free and they are great with scent control I really like these diapers.
- P. Booker
Chlorine Free
My youngest has had such issues with diapers. Most give him horrible rashes. We decided to give these a try and he's been rash free ever since! So glad we found these here on Thrive!

Buddhism has captivated many millions of people around the world, its vitality and adaptability enabling it to transform the civilizations of India, Southeast Asia, Tibet, China, Korea, and Japan, and also become a lively component in the cultures of Europe, Australia, and the Americas. But have you ever wondered how a religion that doesn't even have a god could have accomplished this?
Now you have the opportunity to have your questions answered, as this series of 24 lectures by an award-winning teacher traces the history, principles, and evolution of a theology that is both familiar and foreign.
You'll learn the astonishing story of Siddhartha Gautama - who was to become the Buddha, or "enlightened one" - the Indian prince who abandoned wife, son, and a privileged life to seek the meaning of life and death, and whose "awakening" and subsequent teachings have since impacted the world as few others have.
And you'll learn what happened after his death, as his followers began to share his teachings about the "Four Noble Truths" and the "Path" to Enlightenment. You'll see how Buddhist beliefs underwent significant and even radical change, with different varieties of Buddhism having to take shape as those beliefs spread across India, Central Asia, China, Japan, and virtually every corner of the Western world, such as becoming more respectful of one's duties to family and ancestors in China or becoming reconciled with local deities in Japan.

Informative, entertaining and personal
Very informative lectures. The balance between being high level and providing too much information is well maintained. The author is clearly an expert on the subject, he draws from personal experience and tells us many anecdotes about his personal experience with Buddhism.
Informal and relaxed lecture style; very easy to listen to. I highly recommend this lecture series.
He is very passionate about the subject.
- Craig
Accessible and informative
This a really good introduction to the subject. The narrator has a clear skill in making some of the complex cencepts of Buddhism (at least to a western mind) understandable. He is passionate about the subject, speaks clearly and his lectures have a good balance between 'story telling' and theory. I will be keeping this audiobook in my library to listen to again.

Comments about Women's Cropped Blazer:
I was looking for a cropped blazer to wear over a dress or to smarten up a skirt and this is it! This blazer performs both those functions nicely.
I bought it at half price in the sale and I'm very happy with it. I wouldn't have paid full price though for a plain black blazer.

Program Feature – Cultural Competence, Diversity, and Inclusion
Organizations worldwide continue to ask questions about unconscious bias – how do biases affect business results, organizational structure, internal and external communications, client relations, etc.?
More importantly, organizations are looking for the answer to this key question: How do we manage and minimize the negative effects of unconscious bias in the workplace?
Join program Instructor Shakil Choudhury (Anima Leadership) on May 11 (Calgary) or on May 12 (Edmonton) for Cultural Competence, Diversity, and Inclusion. Increase your cultural competence skills, develop bias awareness, and identify potential cultural awareness blind spots.
About the Presenter
Shakil is a diversity and leadership consultant with more than 20 years' experience leading and building teams locally, nationally, and internationally. An award-winning educator and author of Deep Diversity: Overcoming Us vs. Them, he specializes in anti-discrimination and equity issues, conflict resolution, and emotional intelligence.
In a recent interview, we spoke with Shakil who told us why he is excited about this program.
A number of things excite me about this program. There are a lot of problems that seem intractable, such as bias involving race, ethnicity, sexism, etc. The Deep Diversity approach is hopeful because it starts with the ways in which we as a human species function. This approach is built on a foundation of justice and compassion, with an intersection of psychology, biology, and sociology. This approach has a lot of practical applications that people will be able to use in their personal and professional lives. The Deep Diversity approach has been proven to support the trajectory towards more fairness and democracy in society as a whole as well as in the context of organizations."
Sneak Preview
Shakil also gave us a sneak preview of what you can expect from this program. Here's what he had to say.
What topics will you cover in this program?
The main topic I will be discussing is the role of unconscious bias and emotions in our day-to-day judgments. When it comes to race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, etc., there are a lot of things that happen under the radar of awareness. This impacts the decisions we make and outcomes in the broader world."
What will attendees will find most beneficial about this program?
First, attendees are going to recognize how much the unconscious mind affects our day-to-day lives. In the context of the legal profession, we're going to learn that we may not be as objective as we think and that even though we are well-intentioned, thoughtful, and egalitarian in our perspectives, there are all kinds of decision-making biases that directly impact our personal and professional lives. People are also going to walk away with some information about themselves and about the human condition. For those of us who care about fairness and wanting to be objective, it starts by acknowledging that we have biases and we are affected by other people's identities and by our own identity.
What are some of the key takeaways attendees will gain from this program?
Attendees will come away with a better understanding of three key ideas. First, they will gain a better understanding about how unconscious bias functions in our professional and personal interactions. Second, attendees will leave with a heightened sense of awareness of how to identify the impacts of bias and how the identity of clients, co-workers, and other professionals may be affecting their judgment. Third, attendees will better understand how to reduce bias in the decision-making process and in their professional lives.
Register Online
Learn the role of the unconscious mind in human interactions and how this results in micro-inequities in workplaces, the legal profession, and society at large. Discover and contextualize implicit bias theory, explore the concepts of emotional intelligence and its role in uncovering unconscious bias, discuss bias reduction strategies, and more. Register online to attend Cultural Competence, Diversity, and Inclusion on May 11 (Calgary) or May 12 (Edmonton).

Here's how to use neuroscience and mindfulness to get Lefty under control:
- Notice Lefty at work: Listen for his interpretations. That's not you. That's him.
- Correct him: Check his interpretations against the facts. Is he getting too creative? Going overboard?
- Help Lefty be a better storyteller: Give him a new story. Give him better information. Do good to be good. Help him help you.

Two Months
In two sweet months, I'd be nineteen. That's the age my father deemed appropriate to live on my own. Personally I think they just didn't want Bree alone till she was twenty five. I was ready to move out too. I had a place to live, someone to help pay for the bills and such and good friends to enjoy my new house with.
I already started packing too. I wasn't insane; I just packed the small stuff I wouldn't need anyway. My walls are mostly blank. I took down all my pictures of nature and all I had left were a few of me. I'd take those off tomorrow then start on under my bed. Lord knows the second something slips under there it's never to be seen again. Hopefully by my birthday I'd be packed and ready to go.
Financially, I was set for life. I had a nice job, then someone got jealous so now I work for my family caring for the garden for twice what I was making working at the other place. The hours were great too, anytime the sun was up I could show up for work. I had to be done by dark, but that wasn't hard.
SO with finances not being a problem to try and figure out, I had a lot of free time on my hands. I use that time to read. I've probably read every good book in this town's pathetic library. I mean sure they upgraded semi recently but the fact of the matter is my choices sucked. Thank the Lord that Corpus was just across the bride and a Barnes and Noble was only a ten to fifteen minute drive.
Bree calls me lazy sleeping till ten. Little does she know that I only get four hours of sleep on a good day. And these four hours aren't after relaxing all day, no normally it's after im extremely active. Running up and down stairs, moving furniture, transferring things from place to place, shopping, cooking, fighting, and all sorts of sports. This is pretty much what I do from midnight to six in the morning.
Except tonight, tonight someone is very late I have to deal though. At least I got further into my book. That's always a plus. Too bad I was really looking forward to hanging out at the Treehill place tonight.
"How was your night?" Says a voice calm as an autumn night. How could you not answer that voice?
"Fine" I say trying to be nonchalant.

It's safe to say that "plump" isn't typically the look I'm going for with regard to any of my body parts. But all that changes when it comes to lips. One only has to look at the recent Newsweek cover of Angelina Jolie to feel your lips form an uncontrollable pout. For those of us not blessed with the real thing or not interested in going the injectable route, there's a new category of products known as lip plumpers. Most only last a few hours, but they could be the perfect accessory for those holiday parties.
Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Polish
Available at Ulta, beauty.com
About $18
You know this product is kicking in when your lips start feeling tingly. It contains mint to help stimulate cells and retain water on the lip – causing it to swell. It also contains vitamins A and E to keep lips soft, smooth and protected. A cooling sensation lets you know your lips are getting "pumped up."
Lip Fusion
Available at Sephora
About $38
This lip-plumping color shine contains chili oil, so it might sting a little. It's formulated with marine collagen micro-spheres that are absorbed by lips and then absorb moisture, causing mild-swelling. Results can last up to 2 days.
Lip Venom by DuWop
Available at Urban Outfitters, amazon.com
About $16
This choice is not for the faint of heart. Some users report they feel like they just ate hot peppers. It increases circulation with a spicy, tingly blend of essential oils. The venom in this case includes cinnamon and ginger.
La Prairie Cellular Lip Line Plumper
Available at Neiman Marcus
About $85
I was always told that when you hit 40, your lip line is the first thing to go! This product was created to counteract that. This is a serious treatment that replenishes collagen over time and improves the contours around lips, so they appear fuller and younger.
If you have sensitive skin, you might want to try any of these products on a small area before applying liberally. But for those of us who feel our lips have gotten thinner as we've aged, lip plumpers can give us a whole new holiday look -- an Angelina pout.

FOLLOWING a previous adjournment, a road traffic case was heard last Saturday. The defendant, YAM Pengiran Muda Abdul Mu'min, pleaded guilty to all the 12 charges.
However, Senior Magistrate Haji Nabil Daraina bin Pehin Udana Khatib Dato Paduka Seri Setia Ustaz Haji Awang Badaruddin rejected the guilty plea of the defendant on one of the charges under Section 211 of the Penal Code on a technicality and reserved his ruling for conviction on four other charges under Section 3(2) Motor Vehicles Insurance (Third Party Risks) Act, Chapter 90.
The matter will be heard again on January 21, 2015 for the court's decision pertaining to the charges under the Motor Vehicles Insurance (Third Party Risks) Act, Chapter 90 and for the defendant to submit his mitigation on the offences that he has been convicted for.
The defendant was represented by Defence Counsel Balendran Balasingham of Messrs Ho & Siong, and DPPs Hjh Anifa binti Hj Abd Ghani and Dk Nurul binti Pg Rosli appeared for the Public Prosecutor.

Four years ago, Barack Obama touted "change" and "hope"—his platform was that Bush's policies weren't working, so it was necessary to switch directions and try something new. Fast forward four years, and we are suffering from 7.9% unemployment—a number that has stayed steady for 42 months straight with no signs of improvement—and a 16 trillion dollar debt—6 trillion more than what it was four years ago.

Vajazzle Eat Me Body Tattoo
Average customer review 4 out of 5 stars1 review
Sorry! This product has been discontinued.
Please scroll down to see alternative products.
Product Description
Vajazzle your most intimate parts with these crystal tattoos. An easy-to-use transfer allows you to create a gorgeous diamanté decal on any part of your body instantly, just peel and stick. In glittering silver, this tattoo reads 'eat me'. Apply sensibly!
Vajazzling is a style of body art using individual rhinestones to create a glistening decoration for your most intimate areas. Designed to be applied to the mons pubis, this quick-and-easy transfer instantly transforms your bare skin into a sparkling invitation.
Made from silver rhinestones, this tattoo measures approximately 1.4 inches wide x 1.5 inches tall.
To prepare, wash with soap and water and shave or wax if required. Make sure that the skin is smooth and dry before using.
Carefully peel off the transfer ensuring all crystals stay together. Place the transfer lightly onto the desired location and then using the removed backing paper, apply pressure to the surface of the transfer and hold for a minimum of 10 seconds to ensure that the transfer has firmly adhered to the skin.
The adhesive on the crystals has been specifically designed for temporary application on human skin and can last for a few days if the skin has been prepared as advised. To remove the crystals, just gently peel them off. The crystals can be reapplied using any non-toxic glue such as eyelash glue or spirit gum.

Vajazzle Eat Me Body Tattoo
Reviewed: 22 September 2011 by Siricus, a Straight Going Steady Male
At first my OH was really uncertain about this as she thought it was a bit of a weird concept but I thought I'd give it a go anyway.
We ordered this using the free postage and as a result had to wait a bit longer for it to arrive but when it did we put it on ASAP.
My OH was surprised at how comfortable it was as she is usually quite sensitive to the adhesives used in these and so far hasn't had a reaction. We were also really surprised at how easy it was to apply as well as how long it stayed on. So far it's stayed on for 3 days, although the "me" part of it has now come off - lthough that was only due to a bath.
To sum up, it's a great little novelty and very humorous but personally I would go for one of the more artistic designs. It's really easy to apply and also redesign as you can apply the crystals individually if you cut them up.
- Pros
- Easy to apply, sticks on well, comfortable.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Something a bit different and a bit of a novelty.
- Was this review helpful to you? Yes

Course content
Take advantage of one of our 100 Master's Scholarships to study at Swansea University, the Times Good University Guide's Welsh University of the Year 2017. Postgraduate loans are also available to English and Welsh domiciled students. For more information on fees and funding please visit our website.
Clinical psychology focuses on the challenges faced by people with clinical, mental or physical (neuropsychological) health conditions. The role of the clinical psychologist is to work with these individuals and attempt to improve their quality of life. The Master's degree in Abnormal and Clinical Psychology at Swansea is designed to equip students with an advanced understanding of the theory and practice of clinical psychology in healthcare settings. The primary purpose of the course is to allow students to gain knowledge and experience to enhance their suitability for professional clinical training (i.e. a three year DClin Clinical Psychology programme at a BPS accredited training centre; see http://careers.bps.org.uk/area/clinical).
Entry onto a clinical psychology doctorate training programme is extremely competitive, with candidates usually expected to have acquired training and experience beyond degree level. We have a proven track record of helping our students progress towards clinical psychology training, as well as roles in a range of other clinical mental health-related occupations (see testimonials below). Our MSc Abnormal and Clinical Psychology alumni have also secured NHS clinical based placements, providing valuable experience for those seeking to attain Assistant Clinical Psychologist positions.
Students on the MSc Abnormal and Clinical Psychology typically include:
* UK and international psychology graduates seeking positions as Assistant Psychologists (both in the UK and abroad) as part of their journey towards becoming a BPS Chartered Clinical Psychologist.
* Psychology graduates aiming to work in related fields of applied psychology and other areas of clinical mental health.
* Healthcare and other clinical professionals looking to expand their understanding of particular areas of abnormal and clinical psychology.
* Psychology graduates who have relevant work experience to apply for further clinical training, but who need to enhance their academic and research skills.
* Psychology graduates aiming to secure a PhD by Research in a clinically applied area.
The MSc Abnormal and Clinical Psychology is unique in the range of modules the programme offers:
• Eating Disorders
• Psychosis
• Personality and Sexual Disorder
• Clinical Neuropsychology
• Psychotherapy
• Statistical and Research Methods
• Affective and Somatoform Disorders
• Applied Behaviour Analysis
• Coping with Chronic Disease
• Psychopharmacology for Clinical Psychologists
Students will also complete a substantial research project in their chosen field of study.
The majority of our teaching is carried out by practicing and/or qualified Clinical Psychologists and related professionals, ensuring that students are learning from those with direct experience of professional challenges.
Course modules are assessed using a range of different approaches, including written examinations, essays, presentations and clinical case studies.
Study on the course can be undertaken either full time (1 year) or part time (2 years) basis, with teaching condensed into two weekdays to more easily accommodate part-time students and for relevant experience to be gained alongside the degree. Taught modules are provided in the first two semesters, with the research project typically undertaken over the summer.
About the Department of Psychology
The Department of Psychology at Swansea University is a thriving research led department that provides a friendly, supporting learning environment with instruction from world-class researchers. Our consistent ambition is to provide outstanding excellence of teaching and learning for all our students – as demonstrated by a recent Teaching Quality Assessment national audit that judged our teaching as 'Excellent'. Moreover, the research caliber of our group has also been demonstrated. For example, in The Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014, we were one of only four psychology departments to achieve a 100% 4* rating (maximum score possible) for the reach and significance of its work.

Hail, high winds cause damage across Indiana
Hail and high winds caused damage in Boone County Wednesday afternoon.
"Sounded like someone was on the roof, up there pounding with sledgehammers," said one Lebanon resident.
A tree east of the courthouse was pulled up by the roots and dropped onto the street near Park and Washington.
"The first thing I noticed was all the hail on the windows. It sounded like it was going to knock the windows in and then I heard a cracking noise and then just a big bang," said a neighbor.
The tree slammed into another, which crashed into Jim Kernodle's house. He's still trying to assess the damage.
"We don't know yet," he said. "I'm upset, but by the same token, no one got hurt. I've got all kinds of grandkids and great grandkids."
Heavy hail also swept through Boone County at least three times Wednesday. At the country market on US 421 north of Zionsville, motorcycle riders took cover in the garden center until the hail cleared.
"The lady who let us park under the awning was a godsend," said one motorcyclist.
After the storm, the shop's owner was going to "try to get the water out and get the flowers back out."
"It's crazy. The trees were bending over. It rained real hard, the hail was coming in from every direction," said Rob Stewart, who lives east of Lebanon.
The hail made a mess of Stewart's vinyl siding. It even cracked the window and damaged his cars.
"Got tons of hail damage all over the house," he said. "It's pretty much the whole front of the house."
In Zionsville, people were checking their cars for dings.
"It's a big worry, your roof, your car," said one driver, who found no damage.
"Mother Nature. Can't do anything about that," said Randy Willis.
Willis' SUV also escaped the damage.
Suggested Links
On the south side of Indianapolis, torrential rain brought street flooding and made some race fans race for cover from the hail - in a car wash.
"We had to go somewhere," the driver said.

Low systemic vascular resistance (SVR) commonly occurs
during and early after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and is easy to
accept as a bothersome side effect of bypass since it is usually
transient and easy to treat. Occasionally, patients have a more severe
and persistent fall in SVR, referred to as postoperative
vasodilatory shock.1– Treatment is frequently required
to maintain adequate perfusion pressure during CPB and to establish
satisfactory hemodynamics when ready to separate the patient from
bypass. This has usually entailed counteracting the effect of the
vasodilatory mediators by administering adrenergic vasoconstrictor
drugs such as phenylephrine or norepinephrine. Although usually
effective and safe, these drugs can redistribute blood flow in such a
way as to compromise the splanchnic and renal
circulations.2 Another etiology of low SVR that has been
described1,3– is abnormally low vasopressin levels that
respond quite well to low-dose vasopressin infusion even when the usual
vasoconstrictor drugs are not effective in restoring vascular tone.
There are a number of known responsible mediators,
including bradykinin, produced during CPB, many of which are related to
the systemic inflammatory response elicited by blood contactwith the
extracorporeal circuit and the physiologic changes in the circulation
with CPB.4

Travel Blogs from Unawatuna
Sri Lanka
... One last dinner out and time for early morning good byes. It was great to spend the time travelling with Catherine and John. Lots of laughs and adventures. I'm glad I went to Sri Lanka but I don't think there is anything that would bring me back. There is more culture, colour, friendly people, interesting animals, stunning scenery, chaos and great food all at cheaper prices elsewhere. It is beautiful but I'm not really one for temples and I would be just fine if I never saw another. ...
Unawatuna - From beach to fort
From Tangalla we caught the bus west to a beach town called Unawatuna. The town is quite the contrast to Tangalla at this time of year, possibly because it's closer to Colombo and tourists don't quite get that far. Unawatuna is a short bus trip to Galle which is a major tourist town and home to the Galle Fort which we did a couple of trips to and is a pretty cool place.
The town had a much better feel to it, but half the beach in ...
... find we got correct number of notes. We returned to the street to find the tuktuk's drivers waiting, wanting to take us to gem places. We said no thanks and headed off to walk the streets. We got to the cricket ground and ran into a guy who recognised is from the hotel. He claimed to be one of the chefs, on a morning off, and insisted on showing us around. He took us to a government store, the on a long walk to a shopping centre that was not what we ...

Holidaying in Sri Lanka
... an excellent hotel right on the beach, which is absolutely stunning. The beaches have been getting nicer the further round we go. After lunch we got back in the sea, originally planning to have a wee swim, but as it turns out this place is a surfers town, and instead we jumped around in the waves. Or, Michael did, I stayed in the shallows getting bashed about cause I'm a woose haha. Then I pulled up a sun lounger in the shade and had two ...

The Japanese and American World Championships Men's Marathon Teams
A comparison of the Japanese and American men's teams for this year's World Championships marathon. The first column shows the athlete's best time within the qualification window of Sept. 3, 2007 - Aug. 3, 2009. The second column shows his worst time within the same period, and the third column shows his lifetime best. The Japanese team listing includes alternate Kensuke Takahashi.

Whilst this clearly highlights the strength of Japanese marathoning it also highlights priorities. That is (I believe) most of the top Japanese marathoners.
On the US side you're missing Hall, Meb, Ritz, Abdi, Sell. All of whom would I think at the least, give the last placed guy a good run for his money and in some cases be well clear.
Unfortunately I'm a Brit and with the possible exception of Dan Robinson and maybe Andi Jones I doubt we'd have many beating the last American finisher...

I hear what you're saying about priorities, although at least two of the bigger-name Americans you mention would be hard-pressed to crack the Japanese squad. For what it's worth, there are two other guys who ran 2:08 and four other guys who ran 2:09 within the Berlin qualification window but didn't make the Japanese team.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that Canada is actually sending some marathoners this time. From the looks of it they might be able to give the U.S. a go in the Marathon World Cup team competition.

Don't Know What To Do?
Effects of Alcohol Reinforced by Its Drug Properties
Smell and Taste Not As Important
Animal research has shown that rodent infants are susceptible to the reinforcing effects of alcohol. Scientists also know that exposure to alcohol during rodent infancy can change responsiveness to alcohol later in life. A study in the October 2003 issue of Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research has found that alcohol's reinforcing properties during rodent infancy are due to its pharmacological effects.
"In terms of brain development, the first 10 days or so after birth for the rat is, very roughly, equivalent to the third trimester of the human fetus," said Elena I. Varlinskaya, associate research professor at Binghamton University and corresponding author for the study. "The extent to which alcohol is considered "reinforcing" is measured by the extent to which the animal approaches rather than avoids the predictor of alcohol's effects, in this case, a surrogate nipple.
Infants And Alcohol Taste
Previous research has indicated that infants, but not adults, might find the taste of alcohol reinforcing. Infants readily consume even high concentrations, up to at least 30 percent alcohol, whereas adults are reluctant to consume concentrations higher than six percent alcohol, and will do so only after weeks or months of training; even then they will rarely accept an alcohol concentration higher than 10 percent.
"Alcohol reinforcement in adult rats has been attributed largely to its pharmacological consequences. This was much less clear for infant rats, which is the reason for the present study."
"Fetuses and infants have an amazing capacity to learn and form associations among events in their environment," added Jennifer D. Thomas, assistant professor of psychology at San Diego State University. "If an infant is exposed to the odor of alcohol in the environment, or the combined taste, odor and pharmacological effects of alcohol during fetal development or breast feeding, it is important to determine how this experience affects preference for alcohol and levels of alcohol consumption later in life. In fact, studies indicate that fetal exposure to alcohol is associated with subsequent alcohol use and abuse. This study demonstrates that the pharmacological effects of alcohol, independent of orosensory cues, contribute to the reinforcing properties of ethanol in the developing fetus/infant."
Researchers examined 196 newborn rats during three experiments. The first experiment paired the infants' experience of suckling on a nipple providing water with alcohol administered through an abdominal injection. This method of alcohol administration minimized its olfactory (smell) and gustatory (taste) attributes.
The second experiment paired alcohol with an empty nipple, or alcohol with water delivered apart from a nipple. Experiment three examined blood alcohol concentrations five minutes and 60 minutes after one of four doses of alcohol administered through an abdominal injection.
Injecting Alcohol Study
"Our key finding is that an injection of alcohol, with essentially no accompanying taste or odor, is sufficiently reinforcing to allow a newborn rat to learn with only a single experience what predicted the alcohol," said Varlinskaya. "Since there was negligible odor, taste or calories involved, the rewarding effect of injected alcohol must be derived from its effect on areas of the brain activated by drugs of abuse rather than the taste or smell. This implies that the basis of alcohol reinforcement is the same in newborn rats as in adults. This suggests that animals and people may find alcohol rewarding for the same reasons throughout their development."
"From a basic science standpoint," added Thomas, "this study will help us to understand the development of brain regions important for the reinforcing effects of alcohol and the types of associations that can be learned. The study has implications for infants exposed to alcohol in utero or via breastfeeding. Exposure to alcohol during development can be teratogenic, damaging the brain and altering behavioral development.

Location: Animal Biosciences & Biotechnology LaboratoryTitle: The mRNA expression of amino acid transporters, aminopeptidase N, and the di- and tri- peptide transporter PepT1 in the embryo of the domesticated chicken (Gallus gallus) shows developmental regulation) Author

Citation: Miska, K.B., Fetterer, R.H., Wong, E.A. 2014. The mRNA expression of amino acid transporters, aminopeptidase N, and the di- and tri- peptide transporter PepT1 in the embryo of the domesticated chicken (Gallus gallus) shows developmental regulation. Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology. 2014 Sep;93(9):2262-70. Interpretive Summary: Producing robust chicks at hatch is essential for efficient poultry production. The development of the chicken requires that the embryo within the egg must survive to hatch on the nutrients contained within the egg. This is much different than observed in mammalian embryos that are constantly provided nutrients from the mother via the placenta. The purpose of the current study was to determine when during embryonic development do chick embryos start expressing genes which code for proteins that are involved in breaking down nutrients i.e. to amino acids and transporting them into and out of cells for energy needs. The results indicate that the liver, the most metabolically active organ in the embryo, expressed these genes throughout development. Gene expression in the intestine at day 9 of development was low, but by day 11 expression of genes that code for proteins that transport amino acids from the intestinal cell were detected. By day 15 of embryo development all genes were expressed in three regions of the gut: duodenum, mid-gut, and the ceca. The results indicate that a 15 day-old chick embryo is capable of processing, uptake, and transport of amino acids. It is possible that extra protein could be provided for the chick while still in the egg. Feeding of developing chicks in the egg has recently gained some popularity and our results indicate that such methods may be useful in producing more robust chicks at hatch.
Technical Abstract: The mRNA expression profile for ten amino acid transporters (AAT), the di-and tri- peptide transporter (Pept1), and aminopeptidase N (APN) during chick embryogenesis was determined. Fertilized eggs were sampled at days 9, 11, 15, 17, 19, and 20, post fertilization. Three to four embryos were sampled at each time period. At days 9 and 11, the entire intestine was taken due to its undifferentiated appearance. The ceca, duodenum, mid-gut, and liver were sampled at days 15, 17, 19 and 20. Gene expression was measured using absolute quantitation qRT-PCR. In the liver, all genes except for PepT1 were expressed at most time points. At day 9, the expression of all genes in the intestine was barely detectable, and by day 11, only genes associated with the basolateral surface were expressed. By day 15, most of the genes were expressed in the intestine at high levels that remained relatively constant until day 20. At day 9 and 11, the gut may not function in amino acid (AA) uptake from the lumen and possibly relies on other structures like the yolk sac. As the gut matures and protein becomes available, AATs become highly expressed in all parts of the intestine.
