I have to go, Alice.Mature
Tyler didn't know what to make of Alice's announcement. He was sure they had been careful. As they parted, Tyler let out a string of expletives.
'How did I let this happen?' he asked himself loudly, attracting a few curious stares. 'Fuck off!' he snapped at them, stalking past the rubber-neckers. He would have created a half breed. Half angel, half demon. It would only intensify the war that was already raging around him. If anyone else found out, that is. He sighed and turned left down a back alley. His mind flicked restlessly between Jet and Alice. He didn't know what he wanted. It was like tectonic plates shifting, and all he had to do was choose which side to be on when it finally happened. Loyalty to what he was? Or loyalty to Alice and... and his child. He stopped where he was in the alley and sunk to his knees, his head in his hands. What had he done? Was it not bad enough that everything he was opposed the one thing in this world that he truly cared about?
In truth, had there been no war, if it were not for the fear he lived in he would have been over-joyed at Alice's announcement. If only he hadn't made this choice. If only he didn't have to be loyal to Jet. Jet... He knew he had a job to do. Jet had contacted him only last night. Move towards New York. Get the next instructions. Probably launch an attack on another influential city in America. He had lost the words he had planned to tell Alice when she had told him she was pregnant. He had to meet up with her again, before he lost his head completely. He got his phone out, stumbling to his feet again. He leant against a wall as he waited for her to pick up.
'Tyler?' Alice's voice said in his ear. She sounded worried; he had only used the phone to tell her something bad. And this time was no exception.
'Hi, Alice,' He said listlessly.
'What's up?' she asked.
'I... Nothing.' He said eventually, changing his mind last minute.
'What is it, Tyler?' the concern in her voice becoming more evident.
'Don't worry. Forget I called you. Bye.' He rushed to the end of the conversation, his heart in his mouth. He snapped his phone shut and squeezed it in his hand hard. 'Shit.' He muttered. Growling and cursing himself, he threw his phone at the wall opposite him, shattering the plastic case and mini LCD screen on the front. It clattered to the damp ground at his feet in several pieces. Half heartedly, the remaining body of the phone began to vibrate across the concrete, passing his left foot as it slid down the slight decline. Gritting his teeth, Tyler lifted his foot, bringing it crashing down on the phone. He stalked off, still cursing himself in his head as he moved. Finding a secluded area, he transformed into a raven and took flight.
As he had many a night, Tyler flew not to his own house, but to Alice's. He waited on the garden fence until she reached the gate, taking flight as any other bird would as she approached. He landed on the gutter at the front of the house, watching her as she unlocked the front door of the empty building. Closing his eyes, he transformed again, into a blue bird, swooping down to her bedroom window. He sat on the window ledge, watching from the corner of his eye as she entered her room, flopping onto the double bed, her wings spread out across the dark sheets. He looked wistfully at her beautiful wings, her perfect body and flawless features.
He couldn't protect her anymore, if he was in New York. Going was not an option; it was an order from Jet. It had to be obeyed. Taking Alice with him was not an option; it was too dangerous to take an angel into demon territory. It was dangerous to leave her, too. He sighed, and began to tap the window with his beak. She turned her head to the window, but did not move. He tapped harder. Still she did not move, just laying there watching him. He sent a thought out to her. 'Alice, let me in!'
Finally, wearily, Alice got up to the window. She looked a little confused, as she opened the window to let the blue bird in. He hopped to the middle of the floor and transformed into his human form.
'Alice,' he started, pulling her into a hug, placing a tender kiss on her forehead as she leant into his chest.
'What is it, Tyler? Why did you just hang up?' she cried, pulling away from his embrace.
'I couldn't say it over the phone. It wasn't fair.' He said, sitting down on the edge of the bed. She joined him, listening to what he had to say. 'Alice, I've been called to New York.' He exhaled gustily, his lips forming an unhappy line on his face. Before she could say anything, he carried on relentlessly, 'I have to go, Alice. Jet is not a demon you ignore. I will come back to you as soon as I possibly can.' He tried to hold her hand, but she pulled it away from him, not meeting his eyes.

Production is well underway on Spider-Man: Homecoming and two new videos — both shared to Instagram — provide a peek at star Tom Holland's work on the set.
The first comes from director Jon Watts. In the video, a moody Holland sits on a wooden box in the middle of a green screen set. The only contextual clue we have is a flickering "spooky shadow" behind him that may or may not be a silhouette of Spidey.
The second one, shared by Holland himself, features the Spider-Man actor showing off some of his sweet acrobatic moves.
Holland watches as stuntman Bobby Holland Hanton demonstrates an elaborate, trampoline-assisted spinning flip, then does it himself. Even better, he finishes the move off with a distinctly Spidey-like flourish.

Can counterrotation after Rhinoplasty relieve a collapsed sidewall?
I was derotated around a tip graft holding my lower lateral cartilages together. The left cartilage derotated due to being knocked very hard in the face. I know that's what happened b/c the tip now points left & I no longer have an alar crease there. When I pull my nasal tip to the right, the pain is relieved a little. My tip hooks down when I smile on the left side, too, so I know I've permanently changed the shape of my nose. Will rotating the left cartilage back inward help?
Doctor Answers 2
Rhinoplasty Revision Surgery
Without a photo, it is impossible to tell you anything specific about your situation. However, with post-surgical trauma or unfavorable scarring within the nose, it is possible that the nose has changed position from the ideal shape. It is worth revising your situation with your physician in person to get a more formal opinion.
Continue to follow up with your surgeon to ensure that you progress as planned. Best of luck, Vincent Marin, MD

Rhinoplasty And Trauma
This is definitely the kind of question that will require an in-person examination. You can have deformity of your nose following trauma due to displacement of previous graphs, injury to existing cartilage, or fracture of the cartilage. Without an exam there is no way to be certain. Most likely you will require an additional surgery to correct the damage done by the trauma. I would suggest making a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon and allow them to review your previous rhinoplasty and your current condition. Only then will you have a carefully informed opinion and a good plan on how to proceed. Best of luck to you.

Very effective!!
I have a small psoriasis patch on both my elbows, which comes and goes. I tried this cream and it really makes them disappear from the first application! It is a very effective cream. Of course what it does is epidermical and if you stop the cream the patches reappear. Psoriasis doesn't go away with a cream, you need to address nutrition and stress as well. But it does help aesthetically and psychologically if you can mask it, and this cream does that very well. Click on my username for more reviews!

My elderly mother has had cancers burnt off by a cream that has really damaged my mother's skin I saw this cream on Iherb, read the details and decided to buy it for my Mumma. It has only been a few days that my mother has rubbed the cream on but she wakes up in the morning pain free & very little stinging. I'm happy as mums tried so many creams and this is really helping. I really hope this review helps other people too to be have smooth skin without pain Cheers Psychic Deva

At every general election there is a debate about the influence of newspapers. Despite tumbling circ-ulations in recent years, the general view is that readers still respond to the opinions of editors and publishers on how they should vote.
And every year, like a cracked record, I find myself denying it. The situation is altogether more complex, I write, patiently arguing that what is published between elections is of far greater
It is obvious that the reporting of and, most importantly, the interpretation of election campaigns can change people's minds. But these changes occur against a background of previously assimilated perceptions about politicians, politics and policies.
These views are garnered largely from a complicated mixture of persistent media coverage and the interplay with people's own daily realities, which include conversations between them, of course.
The intricacy of this opinion-forming process, and the difficulty of analysing how it works, must be conceded before we attribute our problems to newspaper content alone. Editors may begin, quite literally, with a blank piece of paper. Their readers, however, are far from blank.
I want to make that crystal clear before I consider the thesis advanced by the former Guardian leader writer Malcolm Dean in his challenging new book, Democracy Under Attack (published by Policy Press at £19.99). The telling subtitle of Dean's book is "How the media distort policy and politics". In outline, it's hardly a new argument. Down the years, plenty of veteran journalists disappointed with their trade have taken issue with national newspapers' output, viewing it in pejorative terms. John Lloyd's much-discussed 2004 polemic, What the Media are Doing to Our Politics, springs to mind.
The difference with Dean's is the way - having asked a simple opening question, "How big a role do the media play in formulating social policy?" - he goes on to analyse coverage in seven specific policy areas.
They include some of the most controversial topics, such as asylum, crime, drugs and immigration. (For media, incidentally, read newspapers, and for newspapers, read Right-of-centre tabloids.)
He argues that they have perpetrated a set of journalistic sins in such a pernicious and malign way that they have damaged the democratic process. Among them are the narrowing of debate - plus, too often, a complete lack of debate - trivialisation, misuse of statistics, overall dumbing down, the consistent concentration on the negative and playing to the gallery, also known as the lowest common denominator.
These sins are only one side of the equation. What stands out from his book is the way government both responds to press coverage and tries to anticipate it in a reciprocal process which leads to the dilution of sensible policies and even their abandonment. Second-guessing how editors will react is itself a problem.
Take for example, drugs policy and drugs coverage, which I have also studied, though not as methodically as Dean. He dissects the lengthy reasoning and logic behind the 2000 Runciman Report into the Misuse of Drugs Act, which called for the classification system to be more closely based on scientific evidence of relative harm.
It said cannabis should be reclassified, from class B to class C on the grounds that making cannabis possession a non-arrestable offence would reduce the number of "otherwise law-abiding" youngsters being criminalised. It also believed such an initiative would reduce friction between the police and the wider community.
Similarly, it argued for the reclassification of LSD and MDMA from class A to class B, and suggested a reduction in the maximum sentence for possession of class A drugs from seven years to 12 months.
Tony Blair's Downing Street, fearing the press response to these proposals and citing "political imperatives" in the face of newspaper hostility to any liberal reform, let it be known to reporters that there was no question of drugs reclassification.
There were newspapers - including the Mail on Sunday and the London Evening Standard - that saw some wisdom in the measures. But several papers, having accepted the government's spin briefings, stuck to their inflexible, antagonistic line about the dangers of "going soft on drugs".
Within days, however, as Dean points out, the Daily Mail, Daily Mirror and Daily Express greeted the report with an open mind, seeing it as an opportunity to open a public debate about the issues. The Daily Telegraph was very enthusiastic indeed. Home Secretary Jack Straw began to back-pedal, finding himself to the Right of a press he regarded as Right-wing.
Eventually, four years later, cannabis was transferred to class C status and the threat of arrest for possession was removed. But the old agenda returned in the 2005 general election campaign, with the Tory opposition pushing a get-tough-on-drugs line that papers, including those which had supported Runciman in 2000, acclaimed. Drugs, all drugs, were demonised in headlines once again.
The inevitable result occurred in 2008 when the Gordon Brown government recanted and - despite opposition from the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs - cannabis was classified again as a class B drug. When the council's chairman was sacked, five other members resigned.
Why did Brown do it? Dean argues that, with the popular papers having changed their stance on cannabis, the then prime minister was searching for tabloid brownie points. Yet the people, the voters, had greeted the previous change. So the politicians and the press were surely out of step with public opinion.
It was, though Dean does not say it as baldly, a classic case of policies being carried out by a political and media elite without due reference to the popular will. There lies the real problem for our democracy. But I cannot finish without pointing to another bad example of the genre.
As we all should know, but it appears we don't, Home Office crime statistics show that, in virtually every category, there have been successive and, in some cases, spectacular falls
in crimes. Dean reminds us that a Daily Telegraph reporter, asked to account on Radio 4's The Media Show for the refusal to report that fact, answered: "Our readers do not want to be told by the Government that violent crime is falling."
Has there ever been a better definition of the word "reactionary"?

A Preparation for Death(2010)
A novel by Greg Baxter
'Traditional autobiography is composed after the experience has passed. I wrote this book in the very panic of the experiences that inspired it ... ' In his early thirties, Greg Baxter found himself in a strange place. He hated his job, he was drinking excessively, he was sabotaging his most important relationships, and he was no longer doing the thing he cared about most: writing. Strangest of all, at this time he started teaching evening classes in creative writing - and his life changed utterly. A Preparation for Death is a document of the chaos and discovery of that time and of the experiences that led Greg Baxter to that strange place - an extraordinarily intimate account of literary failure (and its consequences), personal decay, and redemption through reading, writing, and truth-telling. Studded with vivid, loving portraits of the people closest to him - his Austrian grandmother, who narrowly survived the Second World War; his mother and father, both described with heartbreakingly close attention; and his cousin Walter, whose own demons provide a striking counterpoint to the author's - it is above all a stunningly vivid and searching self-portrait: possibly the most honest book you'll ever read.

Rare frogs airlifted from a Caribbean island to save them from a rapidly spreading fatal disease have bred for the first time at London Zoo.
The critically endangered mountain chicken frogs were rescued from Montserrat to preserve and develop a healthy population of the amphibian, which was facing extinction from the chytrid fungus.
The mothers laid eggs in a self-made foam nest and guarded them as they developed into tadpoles, which they fed every three to five days with unfertilised eggs.
The offspring will be released back into a protected and disease-free area of the wild when fully grown.

text: "POETRY" When we analyze poetry, what we're going to do is take a look at the structure of poems and try to figure out their meanings. Poems are very compact. They have a lot of information in a really small space. So, you're going to have to analyze each line in a poem and really take a look at all those words and try to figure out what they mean. I always tell my students there are lots of correct answers as well as a lot of wrong answers when analyzing poetry. Your job is to try to figure out meaning in a poem and then you have to use lines from that poem to support your ideas. So go ahead and click on that green button and check out the lecture on poetry. Poem Example – My Papa's Waltz by Theodore Roethke The whiskey on your breath Could make a small boy dizzy; But I hung on like death: Such waltzing was not easy. We romped until the pans Slid from the kitchen shelf; My mother's countenance Could not unfrown itself. The hand that held my wrist Was battered on one knuckle; At every step you missed My right ear scraped a buckle. You beat time on my head With a palm caked hard by dirt, Then waltzed me off to bed Still clinging to your shirt. Structure of Poetry • Rhyming or Prose [not rhyming]. – When we analyze the structure of a poem, we usually try to find out if it is a rhyming poem where lines rhyme perhaps at the end of the lines or sometimes in the middle. We even have sight rhymes where the words look like they would rhyme on the page even though if we pronounce them, the words don't rhyme, and then we have prose and what prose essentially means is non-rhyming. – If we take a look at My Papa's Waltz, we can see that this is a rhyming poem. For example, in the first stanza "the whiskey on you breath / could make a small boy dizzy / but I hung on like death / such waltzing was not easy." We can see that the second and forth lines rhyme [dizzy / easy]. Structure of Poetry II • Poems are usually broken into sections separated by a space called Stanzas [like a paragraph] - couplet = 2 lines, tercet = 3, quatrain = 4 – My Papa's Waltz has 4 stanzas and each is made of 4 lines [quatrain] – Why know this structure? • Sometimes the structure leads to a better understanding of the meaning. For example, from My Papa's Waltz, we can see that every stanza kind of moves a little bit. The first part talks about the whiskey on his breath and hanging on, the next stanza talks about being in the kitchen, the next stanza talks about the dance itself, and finally the last stanza it's taking him off to bed. So you can see those stanzas are there to break up time and show us movement in the poem. Analyzing Poetry • Speaker – The person speaking in the poem may not be the poet. It may be that the poet has created a persona, or a person in the poem. – In My Papa's Waltz – the speaker is the little boy now grown up. We know this because it says in the last stanza "you beat time on my head," my head telling us it's the speaker who's the boy. However, the language is not of a small boy but of an adult – so we can figure out the poem is of a memory. • Audience in the poem – There's often an audience that's in the poem. For example, the poem may be written to someone specific [not us]. – The audience in My Papa's Waltz is the father because he says "the whiskey on your breath" [your breath = father's breath]. Also the title – My Papa's Waltz. • Audience reading poem – there is the intended audience when poem was written and of course you are the audience too! Words #1 • Tone of voice & Rhythm: – tells us the mood [happy / sad/ angry / excited/ passionate / etc… ] – Tells us the message [how we should feel about the information] – Again in My Papa's Waltz, if you listen to the poem, "the whiskey on your breath / could make a small boy dizzy / but I hung on like death / such waltzing was not easy." If you read out loud [and most poems should be read out loud], there's a rhythm there. A waltz goes 1,2,3,-1,2,3,-1,2,3, and the way the rhythm in the poem is "the whiskey on your breath", it's 1,2,3 the same rhythm. It's very clever, and so we kind of have this waltz rhythm all the way through. Words #2 • Diction: choice of words – If you describe a car crash and you call it an accident that's a very different image then if I said two cars smashed into one another. • Syntax: order of words – If someone says, "Hi, how are you doing?", that's a regular kind of order of words we're used to, but if the person says, "Doing how are you?" that would kind of surprise us because the order of words were reversed so pay attention when word orders are different, the author is trying to get your attention. • Denotation: literal meaning & Connotation: implied meaning – If I said Mary had a cow and that's a literal meaning or denotation then Mary is probably a farmer, and she owns a cow. However, connotation is the implied meaning. If I said Mary had a cow, I might mean that she's really upset - not that she actually owned a cow. – Poets often make use of both literal and implied meanings in poems – in fact, he/she may want us to see both meanings at the same time! Figure of Speech • Simile (like) – she has eyes like blue pools • Metaphor (is/are) – her eyes are blue pools • Personification / anthropomorphism – giving inanimate objects human or living characteristics, so your can say the car purred happily or the door groaned in pain • Allusion (reference to another work, historical event, art, or person to add depth of meaning) – An Allusion can be in the title of the poem or some line in the poem will refer to another work, maybe a piece of art or a person, to add depth of meaning. **It doesn't mean the poem is about that actual thing!! It means it's similar. By alluding to that other idea, the poet brings greater depth to the poem. Figures of Speech Cont.. • Metonymy – words based on association – Crown = monarchy [so when we say he took the crown, we don't mean just took the crown like a thief. We probably mean that he's taking over the monarchy and that he's become king.] • Synecdoche – part = whole – Hand = whole person [so when he takes her hand in marriage, he doesn't just marry her hand, he marries all of her.] • Hyperbole [exaggeration] – I told you a million times to turn down that stereo! • Litote [understatement] – Let's say I ate 10 candy bars, and someone asks, "Did you eat a lot of chocolate today?" and I reply, "Just a tad." [opposite of hyperbole] • Paradox and Oxymoron - impossibilities and contradictions – A paradox is two situations that couldn't possibly occur at the same time [a man could be alive and dead in a poem at the same time]. – An oxymoron combines two contradictory terms like jumbo shrimp. Shrimp means small and jumbo very big, so how you can have jumbo smalls?? Sound • Mood: (flowing, choppy) – We can really get the mood from the way things sound. I remember a line from the Raven, "and the silk and sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain thrilled me, as I've never been thrilled before." The sound of that can really give us a mood or an idea. • Onomatopoeia: words that sound things they represent – buzz sounds like a bee sound or hiss sounds like the actual cat sound • Alliteration: same consonant at beginning of each word – Little lover lacy • Assonance: same vowel sounds close together – The crook took the book **Poets use these techniques to get the reader's attention, so a line where you find this is usually important. Rhyme Scheme • • • Often what will happen in a poem is we'll have very similar rhyme schemes. So if we take a look at My Papa's Waltz the first stanza, ends on the sounds from breath – "sound A", the next line dizzy "sound B", third line ends with death and rhymes with breath so that would be "sound A" again and easy rhymes with dizzy that would be "Sound B" again. So our rhyme scheme would be a, b, a, b. – The whiskey on your breath [sound a] Could make a small boy dizzy; [sound b] But I hung on like death: [sound a] Such waltzing was not easy. [sound b] Rhyme schemes can change - in fact they can be very complicated - you can have abc, abc, you could have a b c b d b, so only every other line rhymes. Rhyme schemes can be really complicated. Take a look at the rhyme scheme, often there will be a change in the poem's rhyme scheme and that will give us a clue that's an important line we should take a look at. Impressions • Imagery: sensory impressions – In My Papa's Waltz, the first stanza "the whisky on your breath could make a small boy dizzy", we could almost smell that strong alcohol. There's also sound "we romped until the pans slipped from the kitchen shelf", so there's that clattering of the pans coming down. We can see the mother's frowning, "my mother's countenance could not unfrown itself." We can even feel in the poem for example "for every step you missed my right ear scraped a buckle", so we kind of feel the little boy is kind of getting hurt in all of this dancing. So we want to take a look at those sensory impressions because they're trying to make an impact on us and make us feel something. • Symbolism: [red rose = love] – In My Papa's Waltz, the waltz itself is kind of a symbol. It's a dance. Now a waltz is a very formulated dance, and we can kind of see that this symbol for two people moving around together. However, it's a little ironic since this dance is not regulated and pans slide from the shelf. So papa is doing a waltz, but not in the right way. So we have a double meaning – like the father is playing with his son which is good, but he's a bit drunk and rough, so that's bad. Irony • Verbal irony: (one thing said, another meaning intended) – You could have a man tell a woman, "I love you" but we can't be sure of the meaning, does he really mean "I love you", or is he being ironic? Is he saying, "Yeah, I love you" as in of course I DON'T love you, but because we don't hear tone of voice in poems we have to really look for other clues to let us know what the author means.

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) Says Dems Screwed Up Passing Obamacare … "Democrats Blew the Opportunity the American People Gave Them" in 2008 and "Put All of Our Focus on the Wrong Problem"
Speaking Tuesday at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, New York Democrat Sen. Charles Schumer had an epiphany and stated that "Democrats blew the opportunity the American people gave them" after the 2008 election. Schumer went on to say that, "We took their mandate and put all of our focus on the wrong problem, health care reform." Gee, ya think? Sen. Schumer was one of the 60 Democrat senators who passed Obamacare, with not one GOP vote, and forced the unpopular law down the throats of Americans. Now suddenly because as we predicted back then, it would be their undoing, Schumer has misgivings that Democrats focused on it first and did not focus on what Americans were dealing with on a day to day basis, a poor economy and unemployment. Schumer told those in attendance "that considering 85% of all Americans got their health care from either the government, Medicare, Medicaid, or their employer … we would still only be talking about only 5% of the electorate." Wasn't that the same argument that those opposed to Obamacare were making in 2009? Why blow up the healthcare system in the United States for only 5% of the people? This is a kin to demolishing a house because the back porch needs repair. Not only did Democrats not listen to the people, the law they forced upon them was nothing more than a lie.
Democrats made a strategic mistake by passing the Affordable Care Act, Sen. Charles Schumer (N.Y.), the third-ranking member of the Senate Democratic leadership, said Tuesday.
Schumer says Democrats "blew the opportunity the American people gave them" in the 2008 elections, a Democratic landslide, by focusing on healthcare reform instead of legislation to boost the middle class.
But why is Sen. Schumer talking about the Democrats disastrous decision to pass Obamacare now, is it because they have buyer's remorse and care about the American people? Not at all, it is because they have taken a political shellacking in 2010 and 2014 and now find themselves in the minority in the House and the Senate. It all has to do with power, not the people. Honestly, who in their right mind thought that an unpopular bill that adversely affected so many people to only benefit a few would not have ramifications? If Democrats could not see that, then they deserve what they got.

Transcript from Real Clear Politics:
SEN. CHUCK SCHUMER (D-NY): After passing the stimulus, Democrats should have continued to propose middle-class oriented programs and built on the partial success of the stimulus. But unfortunately, Democrats blew the opportunity the American people gave them. We took their mandate and put all of our focus on the wrong problem — health care reform. Now the plight of uninsured Americans and the hardships caused by unfair insurance company practices certainly needed to be addressed, but it was not the change we were hired to make. Americans were crying out for the end to the recession, for better wages and more jobs, not changes in health care.
This makes sense, considering 85% of all Americans got their health care from either the government, Medicare, Medicaid, or their employer. And if health care costs were going up, it really did not affect them. The Affordable Care Act was aimed at the 36 million Americans who were not covered. It has been reported that only a third of the uninsured are even registered to vote. In 2010 only about 40% of those registered voting. So even if the uninsured kept with the rate, which they likely did not, we would still only be talking about only 5% of the electorate.
To aim a huge change in mandate at such a small percentage of the electorate made no political sense. So when Democrats focused on health care, the average middle-class person thought the Democrats are not paying enough attention to me. Again, our health care system was riddled with unfairness and inefficiency. It was a problem desperately in need of fixing. The changes that were made are and will continue to be positive changes, but we would have been better able to address it if Democrats had first proposed and passed bold programs aimed at a broader swath of the middle class.
Had we started more broadly, the middle class would have been more receptive to the idea that President Obama wanted to help them. The initial faith they placed in him would have been rewarded. They would have held a more pro-government view and would have given him the permission structure to build a more pro-government coalition. Then Democrats would have been in a better position to tackle our nation's healthcare crisis.
Healthcare, it wasn't at the top of the agenda for middle class people …
"We should have done it, we just should not have done it first". People were hurting and said, what about me, I am losing my job. It's not health care that is bothering me."
EXIT QUESTION: So why is Sen. Charles Schumer making these comments about Obamacare? Maybe because Schumer does not want to be the next on the list of 29 Democrat Senators who are no longer in the US Senate who voted for Obamacare.
Vox Populi Polling: Republican Bill Cassidy Leads Democrat Incumbent Senator Mary Landrieu 53% to 42% Ahead of Louisiana US Senate Election
Ahead of the December 6th Louisiana US Senate runoff election, a Vox Populi poll has Republican challenger US Rep. Bill Cassidy leading Democrat incumbent Senator Mary Landrieu, 53% to 42%. This on the foot-heals of Sen. Landrieu's failure to deliver passage of the XL Keystone pipeline bill in the Senate. Between Landrieu's failures and President Barack Obama's poor approval ratings, it would appear that the GOP will have a net pick up of 9 senate seats for the 2014 midterm elections. Add Obama's illegal execution order of amnesty to the mix as well.
A new Louisiana survey released by Vox Populi Polling today found that Republican U.S. Senate candidate Bill Cassidy leads Democrat Senator Mary Landrieu 53 to 42 percent, with 5 percent unsure. In addition, Cassidy is up big with Independents, winning with them 58 to 31 percent over Landrieu. Cassidy has seen a big bump after the Nov. 4 open primary. In our recent Oct. 13-14 survey, Cassidy led Landrieu 48 to 44 percent in a head-to-head, with 8 percent unsure.
On the heels of last night's United States Senate vote on the Keystone XL Pipeline, it is interesting to note that voters aren't moved by Mary Landrieu's efforts to bring the legislation before the Senate for a floor vote. When asked if it made voters more likely to vote for the incumbent Democrat, 39 percent said it made them more likely to vote for Bill Cassidy and 32 percent said it made them more likely to vote for Mary Landrieu.
RCP has Cassidy far out ahead of Landrieu by 16 points.

2014 Louisiana Senate Runnoff Election Poll … GOP Challenger Bill Cassidy Ahead of Incumbent Democrat Mary Landrieu by 16 Points
Not even a Democrat stunt of a Keystone Pipeline vote in the Senate is going to save Mary Landrieu … Could wind up being a +9 Senate pickup in the end.
According to an internal poll conducted on behalf of the Cassidy campaign, GOP challenger Bill Cassidy has 56.6% of the vote, while incumbent Democrat Landrieu's 40.5% in a poll conducted by Magellan Strategies. WOW, a 16 point lead for Cassidy as the Landrieu camp cries foul. But is it that hard to believe? On November 4th the Senate election results in Louisiana were Landrieu (D) 43%, Cassidy (R) 42% and Manness (R) 14%. So in a runoff election between just Landrieu and Cassidy, why shouldn't Cassidy get the Conservative Tea Party Republican vote from Manness? It is a pretty safe to say that that the Democrat will not get them.
The final election results in Loisiana may not be a 16 point win for Cassidy, but it is hard to believe that he will not win. Even the Democrats Senate vote for the Keystone pipeline will not save her. Harry Reid had 6 years to hold a vote and refused to. As Bill Cassidy said, sadly the only job that Reid is interested in protecting is Mary Landrieu's. The Senate Louisiana runoff is scheduled for December 6, 2014.
Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) has opened up a 16 point lead over Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) in their Louisiana Senate runoff, according to an internal poll conducted on behalf of the Cassidy campaign and obtained by The Hill.
Cassidy takes 56.6 percent against Landrieu's 40.5 percent in the poll conducted by Magellan Strategies. While internal polls should be viewed with some skepticism, it's the first head-to-head poll to be released in the runoff period. The RealClearPolitics average of polls taken before Election Day showed Cassidy up
by only 5 percent in the head-to-head matchup.
A source close to the Landrieu campaign strongly pushed back against the poll, arguing that it's an automated, push-button poll conducted by a conservative outlet, it used loaded terms to survey only issues pertinent to the Cassidy campaign, and that it underestimates Landrieu's popularity among African American voters.
On Election Day, Landrieu took 43 percent in a field where Republicans split the vote. Cassidy trailed in at 42 percent, and Tea Party candidate Rob Maness at 14 percent. Louisiana's election rules require a run-off on December 6 between the top two candidates since no candidate topped 50 percent of the vote.
Maness has since rallied conservatives to back Cassidy. Influential conservatives like Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-La.) and Sarah Palin have endorsed Cassidy and are participating in "unity rallies" to help him unseat Landrieu.

Gallup Poll: Democrats Plunge to Record Lows Following the 2014 Midterm Elections
According to a new Gallup poll, the favorability for the Democrats has hit a record low following the disastrous loses in the 2014 midterm elections that saw them lose more House seats, lose control of the Senate and lose more governorships. Only 36% polled had a favorable view of the Democratic party, that is a 6% point drop from before the midterms. I think we can now understand why many of the races were not as close as projected and some races like the Senate election in Virginia was even close at all. The polling trend was against the Dems and it showed on election night. The GOP standing with 42 percent favorability, it is the first time since 2011 the Republican party has had a higher rating than the Democrats.
After the midterm elections that saw the Democratic Party suffer significant losses in Congress, a record-low 36% of Americans say they have a favorable opinion of the party, down six percentage points from before the elections. The Republican Party's favorable rating, at 42%, is essentially unchanged from 40%. This marks the first time since September 2011 that the Republican Party has had a higher favorability rating than the Democratic Party.
These results come from a Nov. 6-9 Gallup poll, conducted after Republicans enjoyed a breathtaking sweep of important contests throughout the country in this year's midterms. The party gained control of the Senate and will likely capture its largest House majority in nearly a century. Additionally, the GOP now controls 31 governorships and two-thirds of state legislative chambers.
How low can they go? Following the recent video revelations by Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber admitting they deliberately deceived the American people and called them stupid, look for Democrats poll numbers to fall even further.

ALASKA SENATE ELECTION 2014: Dan Sullivan (R) – Incumbent Mark Begich (D) … Sullivan Defeats Begich 49% – 46%, GOP Picks Up Another Seat, GOP+8)
The US Senate race has finally been called in Alaska, Republican challenger Dan Sullivan defeats incumbent Democrat Mark Begich … Republicans now +8 for the midterm election.
And the wins keep on coming for the Republican party even after the 2014 November 4th midterm elections, GOP challenger Dan Sullivan declared winner is Alaska. Many pundits thought that Alaska could be the deciding battleground state that could swing the control of power in the US Senate one way or the other. As it turned out, it was just some icing on the cake. The GOP won control of the US Senate for sure on election eve when Republican challenger Thom Tillis defeated incumbent Kay Hagen in NC. Now with the Alaska win by the GOP, they have a net +8 pickup in the Senate. This added to the House pickups by the GOP and even governorships, when it was expected the GOP would lose them. But of course Nancy Pelosi says, this was not a wave election. I guess San Fran Nan will also tell us that she doesn't use Botox.
Next up, the Senate run off in Louisiana between Republican challenger Bill Cassidy and Democrat incumbent Mary Landrieu. The magic 8-Ball says all signs point to a Cassidy victory and a potential net +9 for the GOP.
Republican candidate Dan Sullivan defeated Democratic incumbent Sen. Mark Begich in Alaska's U.S. Senate race Wednesday.
The win gives the GOP eight Senate pickups in the midterm elections. The party is also seeking a ninth seat in Louisiana's runoff in December.
Sullivan ran a confident campaign, ignoring the debate schedule Begich established and setting his own terms.
He pledged to fight federal overreach, talked about energy independence and at seemingly every opportunity, sought to tie Begich to President Barack Obama and Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, who are unpopular in Alaska.
Begich complained that Sullivan offered little in the way of proposals for what he would do as senator.
Earlier Tuesday, election workers began counting absentee ballots and early indications were Sullivan maintained an 8,100 vote advantage over Begich. It proved to be true later that night.

We got there early and got a welcome from the park representatives. They gave us a goody bag with water toys, a towel and some snacks. They also provided us with access to the Cabanas. And if you are going to be at the Park all day that is the way to go.
Let me show you in pictures all the fun we had. My favorite is the Lazy River. I just enjoyed relaxing during the ride. My son loved the Tidal Wave Bay. But there is a little bit of something for everyone and people from all ages will have fun at Soak City. Even if you do not get in the water (my husband was injured) you will still have fun.
The service at all times was great. Safety is a priority at the Park as Cathy the supervisor explained to us. The park offers life jackets free of cost and the lifeguards are trained really well.
I want to thank Knott's Soak City for the invite and I can say it was a great way to celebrate my birthday.
You still have time to buy the Season Passes, before price goes up on May 27th. Hurry up and do not forget the sunscreen!

City of the Future? Denver's New Urbanism
This week The Takeaway looks at how cities are reinventing themselves for a world that doesn't depend on cars. Transportation writer (and Takeaway Contributor) Matt Dellinger is in Denver, CO, a town that has epitomized American urban sprawl. But Denver wants to reinvent itself and as the host city for the Congress on New Urbanism, the city is well on its way to streamlining its infrastructure. Also joining the conversation is Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, to discuss how his city is reshaping itself.
Above is the 3-minute video that won the Congress for the New Urbanism's 2009 video contest. It's called "Built to Last" and it is from filmmakers First + Main Media from Julian, CA and Paget Films from Buffalo, NY (John Paget, Dr. Chris Elisara, and Drew Ward).

Operating on the Maestro network, Cash2Go allows users access to pre-deposited funds anywhere in the world and claims to be cheaper than using a traditional bank cash card.
Customers top up the card before they go abroad, and are given a PIN number. With a single withdrawal fee of £1.75, Cash2Go, which is owned by International Currency Exchange, is on the face of it cheaper than most of the major banks which typically charge £4.65 for every £100 withdrawn.
However, its charges do add up. It has an initial purchase fee of 1% of the amount credited - minimum £5. Those topping up their card to the maximum £2,500 would pay £18.75. From September, customers will be able to make deposits via the internet while abroad, but must pay £3. Those wishing to check their balance at an ATM pay 30p.
Jobs & Money research suggests most gap year students would be better off opening a Nationwide Flex account and using that to access their cash while abroad.

New Orleans used the long ball to defeat Memphis 3-2 Thursday afternoon at AutoZone Park. The Redbirds dropped to 4-11 on the season, seven games out of first.
The Zephyrs launched three solo home runs in their victory, all against Redbirds starter Nick Additon. With the visitors up 3-0 in the seventh, Memphis was finally able to score as Mitch Canham came home on Pete Kozma's single. Amaury Cazana then plated Kozma on an RBI-single to left field. The shortstop led the Redbirds going 2-for-3 with one RBI and one run scored.
Additon took the loss, his first on the season, after surrendering the three runs on seven hits over 6 2/3 innings. The lefty walked one and struck out seven. Maikel Cleto, Barret Browning and Adam Reifer combined for 2 1/3 scoreless innings of relief to keep the game close.
In what is expected to have been his final rehab outing, St. Louis Cardinal Skip Schumaker batted second and played second base. He went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout. He finished his Memphis stint 3-for-13 (.231), all singles, with two walks.
Friday's game: vs. New Orleans, 7:05 am CT, Brandon Dickson (1-1, 2.60)
The Cardinals returned home to Hammons Field to open up divisional play against the Tulsa Drillers. With the win, Springfield's winning streak extended to three games. The 7-6 Cardinals also closed Tulsa's division lead to two games.
Player of the Day Trevor Rosenthal took the hill and pitched his best game to date in 2012. The right hander scattered just three hits and struck out six over six shutout innings.
The Cardinals jumped out in front in the home half of the first as Kolten Wong singled, stole second and scored on an RBI double by Xavier Scruggs. Springfield added another run in the second as Greg Garcia and Rosenthal worked walks before Jose Garcia singled to increase the lead to 2-0.
In the fourth, Tommy Pham led off with a single and Greg Garcia followed by hitting his first Double-A home run to right center to put the Redbirds in front 4-0. However, Pham reinjured his shoulder and had to leave the game.
Springfield added its final two runs in the seventh on a Jake Shaffer RBI single and a double play ball that allowed a run to score.
That was more than enough as Eric Fornataro and Justin Wright pitched the final three innings, allowing just two hits, to complete the S-Cards' first shutout of the year.
Friday's game: vs. Tulsa, 7:08 pm CT, Michael Blazek (0-1, 11.88)
Each team managed just five hits, but the home Mets pushed home a single tally in the fifth to win the game shortened to seven innings by rain. Palm Beach fell to 6-8 on the season, with four of the losses via shutouts.
Richard Castillo was once again the hard-luck loser. He pitched six innings, yielding one unearned run on five hits. In three starts, Castillo has allowed just one earned run, but his record is 1-2.
The winning run reached base on a two-base throwing error by shortstop Ronny Gil. It was Gil's Florida State League-leading eighth miscue of the year. The runner came around to score on a pair of ground outs.
The Cardinals had their final chance to even the tally just before the game was halted after Alan Ahmady led off the top of the seventh with a double. The Cards also had two runners on base in the fifth. Gil was thrown out at the plate back in the first after doubling.
Friday's game: at St. Lucie, 6:30 pm ET, Carlos Martinez (0-1, 2.70)
The River Bandits crafted their second consecutive extra-innings win as they rallied from a 4-0, sixth-inning deficit to defeat the Dayton Dragons 5-4 in 13 innings Thursday night.
With two outs in the top of the 13th inning of a 4-4 tie, first baseman David Medina singled to left field for his third hit in four at-bats. Designated hitter Garrett Wittels hit a short popup between home plate and third base that was misplayed by the pitcher. Dayton's catcher threw the ball past third to the left fielder, who then overthrew home plate as Medina scored what became the winning run.
Ethan Cole secured the save for what is the fifth straight win for the River Bandits (10-4), who maintained their two-game lead.
The Dragons got out on top, scoring three runs in the second against starter Todd McInnis. Dayton added another run in the fifth against McInnis, who completed six innings. The right-hander allowed nine hits and three earned runs, and struck out three batters.
The River Bandits were held hitless the first four innings. Quad Cities scored its first run in the sixth, when catcher Juan Castillo and left fielder Colin Walsh hit back-to-back two-out doubles. In the seventh, River Bandits right fielder Roberto Reyes closed the gap to 4-3 on his first home run of the season.
In the eighth inning, Castillo drew a walk and advanced to second on a groundout by Walsh. First baseman Jeremy Patton then picked up his first RBI of the season with a single to centerfield that tied it at 4-4 and set up the extra-innings excitement. .
Left-hander Danny Miranda (2-0) won for the second straight night after going three innings, allowing a hit and a walk and striking out four batters.
Friday's game: at Dayton, 7:00 pm ET, Kyle Hald (0-0, 3.00 ERA)

Treatment Philosophy
I am a medical oncologist specializing in genitourinary cancers. I became a physician and an oncologist for many reasons including the ability to sometimes cure life-threatening illness, having the opportunity to care for ill patients, and being a part of a rapidly evolving and improving field. But perhaps the most important reason for entering oncology for me was the chance to build deep relationships with patients and their families at a time when they are the most vulnerable and in need, to be their advocate and resource, to guide them through a grueling time and hope with them for the best.
I believe that every cancer patient deserves the utmost compassionate, individualized, expert and prompt care. I came to Fox Chase after completing my fellowship at the University of Chicago because here I can offer just that. By working together with each patient, their family and a team of my expert colleagues, we can harness the most recent advances in oncology for each patient.
In my clinical practice I focus on the care of patients with prostate, kidney, bladder, penile, adrenal and testicular cancer and I am proud to be part of a large multidisciplinary team of distinguished clinicians and researchers at Fox Chase. Over the last decade, the number of treatment options for patients with advanced cancers has greatly expanded and at Fox Chase we can offer both the latest standard-of-care as well as new experimental approaches. My particular research interest is in health outcomes as well as clinical trials development for genitourinary cancers.
A cancer diagnosis is one of the most difficult times in a person's life; my primary goal is to bring together all the resources of a cutting-edge cancer center to the patient in a compassionate and individualized manner.

Mahmood Saeed
Mahmood Saeed
In the summer of 2003, Mahmood Saeed was enjoying a typical day in his native Pakistan, playing a round of golf with friends on a sunny day, when he was suddenly overwhelmed by shooting pain in his abdomen. Having passed out from the pain, he woke up to find himself in a hospital. Doctors immediately diagnosed Mahmood with severe pancreatitis and he went directly into surgery. But what the surgeons found was much worse than pancreatitis - cancer had spread throughout Mahmood's kidney. He was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma and surgeons removed the kidney immediately.

Debbie Getz is a fighter, there's no doubting that. After beating inflammatory breast cancer in 1998, she continued diligently with follow-up oncology appointments. "Whenever something questionable showed up on an MRI or CAT Scan, I looked into it immediately," Debbie recalls.
In March 2014, she experienced pain in her right side. "I thought it was a gall bladder attack," admits Debbie, who quickly scheduled an appointment with her primary doctor, who sent her for imaging tests.

When he thinks back on October 28, 2013, Jim Tetzlaff realizes it would have been easy to ignore what happened and not give it another thought. "I'm a man – we have a tendency to ignore things that have to do with our health," says Jim, who was 75 at the time. On that day, after one of his grandson's football games, Jim went to the bathroom and saw blood in his urine. "It was upsetting, but I didn't have any other symptoms so I thought it had to be a fluke," recalls the former medical equipment salesman.

I love this Honey Bubble bath. Finally I can have a bath with plenty of bubbles and no residue. It's clean and organic and feels good on my skin leaving me feel very fresh and relaxed. I have tried a lot of bubble baths but none had bubbles last as long as this product. I have a big tub and you only need a little gel to create a sudsy heaven. I love it and plan to buy this as a gift for my daughters.

Wonderful smell of summer
Posted by DadaBarokova on May 16, 2016 | Verified Purchase
This smells so nice! Because of mint, it is fresh, but also sweet as there is honeydew. And some water melon, too! It smells totally like summer! I guess I never had bubble bath smelling nicer (maybe this is the best smelling cosmetics I ever had!). As for bubbles, it produce lot of them and they are so fluffy, so in this way I´m satisfied. I had bath with this bubble bath and just rinsed it off after half an hour of soaking. So I did not use any shower gel or something and it was totally okey (nor I used any body lotion afterwards and still okey for my skin). I was doing some exercise before the bath and using this bubble bath as only product to wash myself was enough even after all this exercise and sweat (and I swear I trained hard)! I even did not use the shampoo, just soaked my hair a bit and then rinsed it off. I washed my hair just 2 days ago so it was not so messed up, so oily, yet. If my hair was more dirty, this probably won´t be enough, but I totally plan to use this method again - when my hair is not so dirty to be washed, but I want to add a bit of... freshness because they are not even clean. (I do not like to wash my hair really often.) Only one negative I´ve found - the smell don´t stay on skin too long, it disappears just in the bathroom...
Bought for the kids, became mine

This smells wonderful - I originally bought it for the kids, but ended up using it myself - I get the pampering felling!
Bubbles up great!
Posted by Reviewer1063977 on Oct 05, 2012 | Verified Purchase
This stuff is great! I poured a little bit too much in the first time I used it because some of the reviews said it didn't bubble very well; it totally does the opposite and I had trouble getting rid of them after my bath was done. The smell is fantastic and it makes your skin very soft!

CHRIS Weitz is to write the stand-alone 'Star Wars' movie. The 45-year-old director – who's worked on a wide range of high-profile films, including 'About a Boy' and 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' – is set to script the Gareth Edwards-directed movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The screenwriter will replace Gary Whitta, who exited the project earlier this month after finishing a first draft of the script.
The much-anticipated movie – which is one of two 'Star Wars' spin-offs currently in development – is in the early stages of casting. Tatiana Maslany and Rooney Mara, for instance, have both been linked to the female lead in the stand-alone movie.
Oscar-nominated actress Felicity Jones is also said to be on the wanted list, although her involvement with the project depends on her schedule for 'Inferno', the 'Da Vinci Code' sequel. Testing for the movie – which is set for release in December 2016 – initially took place in the UK in December, but has now switched to the US.
Meanwhile, the eagerly-awaited 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' – which stars Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill – will be released on December 18, 2015. BANG!

Aeros closer Jose Flores did Sunday what he wasn't able to do the night before, in halting a ninth-inning New Britain rally.
After Flores blew Saturday's save, he was called on Sunday to quell another threat with the Rock Cats having scored two runs to pull within a run with two outs and the bases loaded in the ninth inning.
That's exactly what Flores did, getting new Britain third baseman Miguel Sano (the parent club Minnesota Twins top prospect) to pop out to preserve the win.
Before the ninth inning fireworks, the Rock Cats got on the board first via on catcher Josmil Pinto's run-scoring single that plated second baseman Eddie Rosario.
But the Aeros tied the game 1-1 with a run in the bottom of the fourth inning on catcher Chris Wallace's single to match the one New Britain plated in top of the frame.
A Cedric Hunter solo homer to lead off the 6th inning gave the Aeros a 2-1 lead that marked his seventh overall on the season between Double and Triple-A.
In the I-can-do-anything-you-can-do-better department, Wallace smashed a no-doubt homer that sailed quickly over the left field wall to increase the host's lead to 3-1.
Aeros starterMatt Packer limited the Rock Cats to a run on seven hits and struck out nine in 6 2/3 innings and left with the Aeros leading 3-1. But Akron added a key insurance run in the eighth inning on right fielder Carlos Moncrief's RBI single that scored designated hitter Cedric Hunter, who walked to lead off the inning. The run would prove to be crucial when the Rock Cats once again rallied late against the Aeros bullpen.
The Aeros' bullpen blew the previous night's game, as the Rock Cats scored 12 runs (11 earned) after the seventh inning when the starter departed. Sunday afternoon, the team's relievers made it interesting again, before managing to escape with the win despite allowing two runs in the ninth inning.
Right-handed fireballer Austin Adams flashed a 97-mph fastball in his 1 1/3 hitless innings. But C.C. Lee quickly found himself in a jam when he took over in the ninth inning.
Lee walked the first batter he faced, then dished up an RBI double to left fielder Curt Smith. Smith soon scored on a sacrifice fly as the Rock Cats pulled to within a run before Lee was lifted for Flores.
Flores quickly got Sano to hit a major league pop up high into the air near the pitcher's mound, an infield hit that first basmen Jesus Aguilar fielded to end threat and the game.
ROSTER MOVES - Aeros roster moves: RHP Bryce Stowell has been placed on the DL with a shoulder strain and RHP Kyle Landis has been activated. Landis had been sidelined since May 8th with a right lat strain…Also, SS Ronny Rodriguez is day-to-day with hamstring tightness. He left Saturday night's game in the 10th inning and did not play in Sunday's homestand finale.
UP NEXT - The Aeros hit the road for a quick three-game road trip to Harrisburg Monday through Wednesday. The Aeros are slated to send right-handed pitcher Brett Brach (4-3, 4.76 ERA) to the Mound Monday at 7 p.m. to face Senators right-hander Taylor Jordan (6-0, 0.73 ERA).

Allen & Overy targets investment funds with Clifford Chance team" />Allen & Overy (A&O) is set to make a push on the investment funds market with the hire of a team of six associates from Clifford Chance in London. The raid leaves Clifford Chance with just 13 assistants in the London group.
The team, headed by senior associate Matthew Huggett, is understood to be joining Simon Gleeson's three-partner bank regulatory group in September. It will provide a boost to the investment funds side of A&O's business, which has traditionally lagged behind Clifford Chance and Linklaters.
Clifford Chance's investment funds group has undergone minor upheaval in recent months following the decision by rated partner Tim Herrington to go part-time and the departure of Stephen Ross to join Man Group.
However, Clifford Chance's derivatives and private equity funds businesses remain unaffected. The private equity funds group, led by Jason Glover, joined the private equity transactional group three years ago.
In a statement, Herrington said: "We naturally regret the decision of this small group of lawyers to move to another firm, but we wish them well in their future careers.
"Our commitment to the asset management sector remains undiminished. Demand for our expertise in this area is growing, and we're confident that this will be a significant area of business for the firm in the year ahead."
Allen & Overy declined to comment.

Background: Although parameters obtained during submaximal exercise are known to be useful for predicting mortality in cardiac patients, it has been a matter of debate whether the submaximal parameters are superior to peak oxygen uptake (V̇o2). For this purpose, we aimed to determine the best index among exercise variables in predicting long-term mortality in patients with chronic heart disease.
Methods: The study population consisted of 385 consecutive patients with chronic heart disease who performed a symptom-limited incremental exercise test on a cycle ergometer. Breath-by-breath respiratory gas analysis was used to estimate the peak V̇o2, the ratio of the increase in V̇o2 to the increase in work rate (WR) [V̇o2/ΔWR], and the ratio of the increase in minute ventilation V̇e to the increase in carbon dioxide output (V̇co2) [ΔV̇e/ΔV̇co2].
Results: After 1,899 ± 495 days of follow-up (mean ± SD), 33 cardiovascular-related deaths occurred. Nonsurvivors achieved lower peak V̇o2, lower V̇o2/ΔWR, and higher ΔV̇e/ΔV̇co2 compared to the survivors. In the univariate Cox proportional hazards analysis, peak V̇o2, V̇o2/ΔWR, and ΔV̇e/ΔV̇co2 were found to be significant prognostic indexes of survival. However, multivariate analysis revealed V̇o2/ΔWR as an independent predictor of mortality and ΔV̇e/δV̇co2 as a slightly weaker predictor. In this analysis, the prognostic power of peak V̇o2 was insignificant.
Conclusion: Submaximal respiratory gas indexes are very likely to be more sensitive than peak V̇o2 for predicting poor survival in ambulatory patients with chronic heart disease.
