How should you deal with an on-the job sleeper?
What discipline is proper for an employee caught sleeping on the job? Dismissal? Suspension? Or should each case be decided on its merit? "In general," says Educator/Consultant/Arbitrator Leonard J.
What discipline is proper for an employee caught sleeping on the job? Dismissal? Suspension? Or should each case be decided on its merit?
"In general," says Educator/Consultant/Arbitrator Leonard J. Smith, "where a no-sleeping rule is strictly enforced, discharge for its violation is justified in principle. But in practice, extenuating circumstances can play a determining role."
Where the level of discipline is uncertain, these tips from Smith may be helpful:
1. Take the employee's performance record into consideration
2. Determine the employee's degree of responsibility at the time of the infraction
3. Strive for consistency.
Failing to observe No. 3 in particular can trip you up.
Boiler Room Attendant Harry Shuler was fast asleep inside a packing case one day when Maintenance Supervisor Bill Grafton passed by. Shuler was an above-average employee, but a high meter reading approaching the red danger point indication, added gravity to the offense. Remedial action was called for. If too much more time elapsed without an adjustment being made, an explosion might occur.
Grafton angrily jostled Shuler awake. "That's it, pal, you've had it!"
By the time Shuler sleepily got his bearings, Grafton was halfway across the room.
Question: Under the circumstances, do you think Shuler deserves to be discharged?
Price's verdict: Plant Engineer Frank Price agreed with Grafton that Shuler's violation of the company's no-sleeping rule called for the ultimate penalty.
"But before issuing a dismissal notice, I think we should take a closer look at the man's record."
When this was done, the dismissal penalty was reduced to a two-week suspension. On past occasions, it was disclosed, discipline short of discharge had been imposed on employees found guilty of similar sleeping rule violations.

The first float of a UK company this year cheered the City today as housebuilder Crest Nicholson unveiled plans for a £500 million return to the stock market.
The move is an early vote of confidence in prospects for 2013 as the FTSE 100 soars to pre-Lehman Brothers highs above 6100 despite a January scarred by the collapse of many retailers and the threat of a triple-dip.
The listing, planned to raise £50 million, will catapult Crest Nicholson back into the FTSE 250, nearly six years after it was taken private by a consortium including Scottish tycoon Sir Tom Hunter's West Coast Capital and HBOS for £715 million. The move comes ahead of another expected initial public offering in the sector by retirement builder McCarthy & Stone later this year.
BGC Partners analyst David Buik said the "timing was perfect". He said: "I see a lot of deals this year, private equity exits and lots of M&A activity. At a time when the economy is not doing brilliantly, there is a bit of value out there."
But he cautioned: "At the turn of the century there were around 70 £100 million-plus floats a year, we are now doing around five to seven. Investors are more wary — if these things aren't priced to go like an absolute rocket, you can forget it."
Crest's management embarks on a roadshow of potential investors in two weeks' time.
The original takeover, struck at the peak of the market in May 2007, saw the firm laden with £1.2 billion in debt. Lenders took control in a restructuring two years later, wiping out Sir Tom. US hedge fund Varde then swooped to snap up Crest's debt in 2011, and controls 60 per cent of the equity. Deutsche Bank has a 20 per cent stake, with the original lenders and managers owning the remainder.
Around 40 of the housebuilder's senior managers, including chief executive Stephen Stone, pictured, will end up with 10 per cent of the shares, worth around £50 million, following the deal. Stone, who has been in charge throughout the period of turmoil, said: "We have seen a lot of encouraging signs in the stock market in the last six months in particular, and housebuilders have seen very good rises in terms of share price rises and volumes."
HSBC and Barclays are the lead banks.Crest Nicholson, which celebrates 50 years in business this year, has built 2500 homes in the capital over the past decade, and has current London projects under way in Stockwell, Shoreditch, Chiswick, Clapham and Bloomsbury.
Around 95 per cent of the firm's land is in the more buoyant southern housing market. The firm swung to a pre-tax profit of £62.1 million in the year to October 31, compared to a £27 million loss previously. It sold 1882 homes last year — up 24 per cent on 2011 — at an average price of £230,000.

Re: Best place to provision for Panama-Tahiti
There are several in Puerto Rico. It will never be cheaper on the route you are folowing.
Super Walmart in Ponce.
Also a Kmart in St Thomas. USVI The canny shoppers in the BVIs go there, much cheaper than the BVI.
However you will need US visas for both the USVI and Puerto Rico.
Re: Best place to provision for Panama-Tahiti
A couple of suggestions for you. We had good provisioning in Panama City on the Pacific side. There is a store, like Costco in the US, the is excellent. I forget the name but describe and everyone will know what it is. You have to buy a membership. We shared a membership with a couple on another boat to reduce the cost. You can get there by bus but will need to get a cab back (~$10). Prices are great - beer was about $9/24 and Chilean wine $2/litre. We completely loaded a cab with about $500 worth of shopping - could not have taken anything else.
There is an incredible hypermarche in Papeete that is within walking distance of the marina. May well be the best supermarket I have ever seen (it is huge, French, in the middle of the ocean, and on a large tropical island). Not cheap though.
Best place to provision for Panama-Tahiti
Hi , We are new Zealanders and currently buying a boat in Simpson Bay, St Martin and plan to transit the Panama in early May and head to Tahiti.
it is 20 years since we have been in the Caribbean when we did the same trip.
Can anyone help with the following questions please:
Where is the best place to provision for trip for all the staples. tins etc. We are on a budget so need food at a reasonable price. Would it be worth sailing to the BVI's to do the big provision? What about around the Panama Canal?
Thanks very much!

This is the planet Mars, 4th rock from the Sun. Less than one month ago, Mars was at opposition. This means that it is directly opposite from the Sun, as we view it. This also means that it is very bright, because it is reflecting light directly back to us. Opposition is the planetary equivalent of a full moon. The diameter of Mars is about 4200 miles, compared to Earth's diameter of about 8,000 miles and its mass is just 11% of Earth's. On May 30, Mars was 47 million miles from Earth.

Fiscal Year 2007 Budget Request
Witness appearing before the
House Subcommittee on Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations
Richard J. Hodes, M.D.
National Institute on Aging
March 16, 2006
Mr. Richard J. Turman, Deputy Assistant Secretary, Budget
Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:
The NIA is requesting an FY 2007 budget of $1,039,828,000, a decrease of $6,803,000, or .6 percent below the FY 2006 enacted level.
Thank you for this opportunity to participate in today's hearing. I am Dr. Richard Hodes, Director of the National Institute on Aging, and I am pleased to be here today to tell you about our progress making and communicating scientific discoveries that will improve the health and well-being of older Americans.
There are today approximately 35 million Americans ages 65 and over, according to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, and this number is expected to rise dramatically in the coming decades as members of the Baby Boom generation reach retirement age. These older Americans are more likely than at any other time in history to enjoy good health and an active lifestyle: Data from the National Long Term Care Survey (NLTCS) indicate that the rate of disability among older Americans dramatically declined from the 1980s through the mid 1990s, even among the "oldest old," people age 85 and older. At the same time, however, the downward trend in disability among the elderly may be in danger of reversal. Data from the National Health Interview Survey show that, over the same period, the disability rate actually rose significantly for people ages 18-59, with the growing prevalence of obesity an important factor in this trend. Now, in fact, some demographers are forecasting a complete leveling-off of the disability decline in the coming decade.[1]
The mission of the National Institute on Aging (NIA) is to improve the health and well-being of older Americans through research. In support of its mission, the Institute conducts and supports an extensive program of research on all aspects of aging, from the basic cellular and molecular changes that occur as we age, to the prevention and treatment of common age-related conditions, to the behavioral and social aspects of growing older, including the demographic and economic implications of an aging society. In addition, the NIA is the lead Federal agency for research related to the all-important effort to prevent and treat Alzheimer's disease (AD). Finally, our education and outreach programs provide vital information to older people across the Nation on a wide variety of topics, including living with chronic conditions, maintaining optimal health, and caregiving.
Alzheimer's disease is a devastating condition with a profound impact on individuals, families, the health care system, and society as a whole. Approximately 4.5 million Americans are currently battling AD, with annual costs for the disease estimated to exceed $100 billion.[2] Moreover, the rapid aging of the American population threatens to increase this burden significantly in the coming decades: By 2050, the number of Americans with AD could rise to some 13.2 million, an almost three-fold increase.[3]
Dr. Zerhouni has told this Committee about the NIH's new paradigm for biomedical research that is "predictive, personalized, and preemptive." This vision greatly informs the NIA's comprehensive program of Alzheimer's disease research. NIA-supported investigators conduct research on topics across the spectrum of AD-related inquiry, from basic brain biology to clinical trials of potential interventions. Through these studies, we are uncovering new predictors of individual risk for AD, and using this information, along with a greater understanding of specific pathways mediating disease processes, we are developing new approaches to prevention and treatment.
Risk Factors and Early Diagnosis. Population studies suggest that conditions affecting the circulatory system may be associated with higher risk for dementia, or that the presence of vascular disease may influence the progression of AD. One recent report indicated that AD dementia may be exacerbated by other cerebrovascular problems such as small strokes, while another linked untreated high blood pressure in mid-life with increased risk of dementia in later life. The possible association of diabetes, insulin resistance, and AD is garnering increased attention as well; recent findings from at least four long-term studies link diabetes with decline in cognitive function. The NIA recently funded two clinical trials to examine directly whether diabetes-related interventions might be effective in preventing or delaying cognitive decline or development of Alzheimer's disease.
Research suggests that the earliest AD pathology begins to develop in the brain long before clinical symptoms yield a diagnosis; the ability to make an accurate early diagnosis of AD would be highly beneficial. Improvements in brain imaging, coupled with the development of more sensitive cognitive tests, are enabling us to diagnose AD in the research setting with greater precision than ever before. Imaging techniques may become important for a number of other reasons, particularly in helping investigators understand events unfolding in specific regions of the brain in the very early stages of Alzheimer's disease and in assessing the effectiveness of potential therapeutic strategies. To speed both the development of imaging techniques and the discovery of biological markers to detect Alzheimer's disease, the National Institute on Aging and other Federal partners, in conjunction with nine pharmaceutical/biotech companies, the Institute for the Study of Aging, and the Alzheimer's Association, announced the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative in October 2004. The study will test whether serial MRI, PET, or other biological markers can be used in conjunction with clinical and neuropsychological assessment to measure earlier and with greater sensitivity the development and progression of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early Alzheimer's disease. This major public-private partnership could help researchers and clinicians develop new treatments and monitor their effectiveness as well as lessen the time and cost of clinical trials. The study, which is taking place at approximately 50 sites across the U.S. and Canada, began recruitment in late 2005; approximately 800 people ages 55 to 90 will participate over the five years of the study.
Prevention and Treatment. Results of a growing number of studies are suggesting that diet and exercise may have significant benefits on not only physical but also cognitive health. For example, in one recent study, researchers related fruit and vegetable consumption among 13,388 older women over a 10-16 year period to subsequent cognitive performance and found that women consuming the most green leafy vegetables experienced slower decline than women consuming the least amount. Long-term epidemiologic studies now also suggest that exercise may have a specific influence on aspects of cognitive decline, and researchers are hoping that clinical trials will be able to directly test the therapeutic value of exercise and diet for improved cognitive performance and, eventually, for reduced risk of AD. Small clinical trials currently are ongoing to test the effects of exercise on cognitive decline, both in older adults with normal cognition and in persons with mild cognitive impairment with memory decline; a larger trial that would include a cognitive component is in the planning stages. In addition, the planned Lifestyle Interventions and Independence for Elders (LIFE) study, which has been designed to determine whether physical exercise is effective for preventing major mobility disability or death, will include a cognitive component. Clinical trials are also ongoing to test the effects of a variety of dietary supplements, including antioxidants and alpha-lipoic acid, on cognition.
Investigators are also searching for drugs that will be effective in stopping the progression of AD or, ultimately, preventing the disease altogether. Recently, investigators announced the discovery of the first agent shown to delay the clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's in people with amnestic mild cognitive impairment, an MCI subtype strongly correlated with the later development of AD. The investigators found that individuals who took the drug donepezil (Aricept®) were at reduced risk of progressing to a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease during the first year of the trial, but by the end of the three-year study there was no benefit from the drug. Although donepezil's effects were limited, the results are nonetheless encouraging. And although too little is known about donepezil's long-term effects to support a recommendation for its routine use to forestall the diagnosis of AD in people with mild cognitive impairment, these findings do suggest that chemoprevention of AD is possible and support our hope that future clinical studies will lead to more significant progress.
Diseases of aging continue to affect many older men and women, seriously compromising their quality of life. Diseases and conditions currently under study at the NIA include:
Obesity. Overweight and obesity are widespread in the United States and are associated with an array of health problems, including heart disease, stroke, osteoarthritis, adult-onset diabetes, certain types of cancer and physical disability. NIH has assigned a high priority to research on obesity.
These activities range from basic research on the genetic and biological mechanisms of overweight and obesity to human intervention studies. For example, recent studies of C. elegans, tiny worms frequently used for genetic studies, are providing important insights about fat regulation and storage that may that may be applicable in humans. NIA-supported researchers used RNA interference (RNAi), a technique in which genes are inactivated one at a time to determine their function, to screen the worm's genome and found some 417 genes involved with fat regulation and storage. Many of the genes they found have human counterparts, a number of which had not been previously implicated in the regulation of fat storage. The genes identified in C. elegans may ultimately suggest new targets for treating human obesity and its associated diseases.
Research has also shown that many of the disabling conditions affecting older people could be diminished through regular exercise and that fitness affects mortality risk regardless of an individual's body fat. One study, which followed men 30-83 years of age for an average of eight years, found that within each category of body fatness,"fit" men - as measured by exercise testing - were at a lower risk of death. In addition, among fit men, obesity was not significantly related to risk of death. In another study, low fitness increased mortality risk in men approximately fivefold for cardiovascular disease and threefold for all-cause mortality. Low fitness was associated with higher mortality in all weight groups.
At a 2004 NIA and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services(CMS) sponsored workshop, researchers used published findings and trends to postulate that if the United States were able to prevent obesity until a person reaches 65 years of age by adjusting the[4]body mass index for all cohorts entering Medicare, we could realize a significant decline in the percent with heart disease and diabetes, a significant increase in the percent without disability, and a cost savings to Medicare on the order of $10 billion annually over the subsequent 30 years.
Heart disease. Each year over one million Americans undergo angioplasty[5], a procedure in which a long, thin tube attached to a tiny balloon is used to access and widen a blood vessel at the site of narrowing or blockage. However, a significant number of these individuals go on to experience restenosis, or gradual narrowing of the artery at the site of the blockage; this condition is aggravated by the implanting of stents (tiny metal scaffolds placed inside the artery to hold it open). Restenosis usually occurs within six months of angioplasty and results from the migration of cells from the middle of the arterial wall into the inner layer of the artery, where they multiply and block normal blood flow. Recognizing that cell division is crucial to the development of restenosis, NIA scientists tested the anticancer drug paclitaxel (Taxol®), which arrests cell division, as a means of preventing the tissue growth that leads to vessel narrowing, and found that stents coated with paclitaxel can delay restenosis both safely and effectively. The investigators obtained a patent for these paclitaxel-coated stents, and a cooperative research and development agreement was established with private industry partners to begin clinical testing. Today, paclitaxel is one of only two drugs that, when applied to stents, have been shown to safely reduce the incidence of restenosis in humans. FDA approval of paclitaxel-coated stents was granted in March 2004, and currently over 70 percent of the drug-eluting stents used worldwide are paclitaxel-coated. Approximately 1.8 million patients worldwide have received paclitaxel-coated stents to date.
Diabetes. NIH investigators searching for potential treatments for type 2 diabetes conducted a study of the compound exendin-4, an analog of a hormone that is naturally released after eating and that can lower blood sugar in people with diabetes. The investigators found that exendin-4 is safe and effective, and in April 2004, the Food and Drug Administration approved exenatide (ByettaTM), a synthetic derivation of exendin-4, for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
The NIHSeniorHealth website continues to be a major initiative that enables the growing number of "wired seniors" to find credible aging-related health information in an online format that is compatible with their cognitive and visual needs, as evidenced by NIH-supported research. Conceived by NIA and jointly developed with the National Library of Medicine (NLM), the website now includes 26 health topics developed by eleven NIH Institutes. Each month, 52,000 unique visitors browse over a half a million pages. NIHSeniorHealth serves as a model for web designers seeking to make sites accessible to older adults. To increase the number of older adults skilled in searching for health information online, NIA has developed and is evaluating a senior-friendly Internet training curriculum geared around NIHSeniorHealth and NLM's MedlinePlus web site for those who train older individuals to use computers.
Changes in public health policy may necessitate the development of new communications strategies and techniques targeted at older Americans, as was demonstrated with the passage of Medicare Part D, the "prescription drug benefit" for U.S. seniors. NIA-supported researchers are currently using established datasets to rapidly collect information and analyze patterns of use under Medicare Part D; their findings have been communicated to the CMS on an ongoing basis and will inform the creation of new strategies for tailored communications that will assist older Americans in understanding and maximizing use of this important new program.
Thank you for the opportunity to testify before this Subcommittee. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Located just a few
minutes east of New York State and 68 miles north of Manhattan,
Bethel is distinctive in many ways. It is both one of the smallest
and one of the newest (a mere 150 years old!) towns in
western Connecticut. Home to Cannondale bicycles, Chocolate
Lace, and Duracell batteries, Bethel was once home to one of
America's most famous independent showmen, P.T. Barnum
Crammed inside its 17
square miles are numerous eateries that attract large crowds
each night. The Bethel Cinema, a renowned venue for offbeat
and arts films, is a Fairfield County landmark. Historic Greenwood
Avenue houses unique shops, is the locale for special events
such as Trick or Treating, a November Christmas Tree
Lighting, the annual book fair and sales days. The Route 6
corridor, Clarke and Berkshire Business Parks serve as
magnets for commercial ventures. Despite its timeless, small-town New
England charm, this little gem of a town is part of thriving
Fairfield County and is connected directly to Manhattan and Boston by
a commuter rail line that goes right through downtown.

A win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday would clinch a second straight AFC South title for the playoff-bound Houston Texans. A loss makes the division race much more interesting. The Texans look to bounce back from a blowout loss and prevent the surging Colts from securing a playoff berth as these teams meet in Houston for the first of two meetings over the final three weeks. Despite a 42-14 loss at New England on Monday, Houston (11-2) still has the AFC's best record and needs only a third straight home victory over Indianapolis to win the division.

Hey folks,
I have heard mention of folks getting together to share a meal and perhaps chat about some of our favorite subjects for quite some time now but I dont think its actually happened. Well, August 9th there is a Gun & Knife show at the NC Fairgrounds and I have an inkling that many of us might like to check that out. That got me to thinking that perhaps we could all meet for breakfast before converging on the Fairgrounds.
I am not too familiar with that area however, so I was hoping someone here could recommend a restaurant where we could all sit down for a nice warm breakfast and meet each other face-to-face.
Any ideas?

Anne Patton Schubert of Taylorsville was elected as a delegate to the 128th Annual American Angus Association Convention of Delegates on Nov. 14 in Louisville, according to Bryce Schumann, CEO of the American Angus Association.
Schubert, a member of the American Angus Association with headquarters in Saint Joseph, Mo., is one of 332 Angus breeders who have been elected by fellow members in their state to serve as a representative at the annual meeting.
Authority for the Supplemental Revenue Assistance (SURE) program, authorized in the 2008 Farm Bill, will draw to a close Sept. 30, 2011.
"FSA wants to ensure that all eligible producers are aware of the approaching deadline," said FSA State Executive Director, John W. McCauley.
The first piece of good news is that this year turned out better than last.
In 2010, I wrote, "Sadly this year was sort of a bust for the vast majority of what I planted." I can't do that year after year, so thank goodness the tomatoes and zucchini kept pace this time around.
Five students from Spencer County were named as participants in the Governor's Scholar Program for 2011 in last week's edition of the Spencer Magnet.
When recognized by the Governor's office, Governor's Scholar students are organized and recognized in the Congressional district determined by their home residency.
Seven students from Spencer County have been named Sen. Jeff Green Scholars. Students earn this designation by achieving a 4.0 grade point average all four years of high school and scoring at least a 28 composite on the ACT.
These students have also earned $2,500 a year in Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship awards.
Their awards may be renewed each year of college if they continue high scholastic achievement, making the total value of their KEES worth $10,000.
By CHRISTINA L. KERN, Campbellsville University
Campbellsville University recently served as host to students from Spencer County participating in an early college program.
The program was for students who just completed eighth grade and are going into high school this fall, according to Dr. DeWayne Frazier, associate vice president for academic affairs.
The Covenant Churches of Taylorsville – All Saints Roman Catholic Church, First Christian Church of Taylorsville (Disciples of Christ) and Taylorsville United Methodist Church – are planning an anniversary celebration, marking 25 years since they entered into a covenant with one another.
The celebration will be Sunday at 5 p.m. at First Christian Church, which is located at 403 Main Cross St. A meal will follow the service in the church's fellowship hall.
People come to me and ask me: "Why don't the leaders promote the county like you did?" I really don't know why; but, one thing I do know is that our fiscal court and I had a lot of faith in Jesus Christ.
Many times we would bring up things that needed to be done and before we jumped into trying to do them we would go home and pray about them. By doing this, we would find out Jesus knew a lot more about doing the things we were trying to do than we did.

When Hot Rod It's in trouble, I am not slow, it's hip hip hip and away I go.
Most of the older Chevs have the same rust spots. It is obvious because you see so many repair panels in the truck rags. Wheel wells, door sills/rockers, and cab corners seem to be the worst. The up side is thst there are about 6-10 places that you can get parts for these rigs. Chevy Duty, The Truck Shop, Golden State Pick Ups to name a few.(I'm not real happy how the last one does business. They got big and forget things) If you need some contacts, I can e-mail you a list from home later on. The drive train in that truck is so standard it isn't funny. I never really concern myself with the bed, after all, its a TRUCK. It was a truck before it was a hot rod or cruiser. Other than that, it's a 66, so you will have everything that goes with that. Ball joints, wheel bearings, drips, leaks, dents, etc. Fora driver and the price is right, it would interest me. But, Madd luvs trucks. So does my Jack Russel, Ruby.

When your three year old is waiting in line for a pony ride that you are more excited about than he is, don't be stressed when he spots the world's most enormous blown up slide and hauls ass toward it. He could give a nickel about those dang ponies and your desire to get a picture of him taking his first ride. He's three. And a sensory seeker. It would make you a big turd if you forced the pony issue. Instead, let him run like the wind to that big ass slide and sock away all of your fears about it. Because he has graduated from sitting on laps. And he's ready to go it alone. So let him take that risk. He's got this. Your job is to take the pictures.
Pony rides are for wimps.
Big ass slides are where it's at.

Our door was all smashed in as if someone kicked it in. The main switch for lights didn't work. Bathroom door wouldn't close.
The room was spacious and clean. The staff were very responsive to any issue that came up. The internet wasn't always reliable.

"There is so much talk in this house about human rights, about the rights of the vulnerable. But in my view there is just one overwhelming, fundamental human right - and that is the right to life. In modern Britain the most dangerous place to be is your mother's womb."
Edward Leigh, Con, Gainsborough
"The pregnant women herself is the only person who can make a responsible decision in the best interests of herself, her family and her foetus. Abortion should be a private decision between the patient and her doctor, like any medical treatment. Why is it so difficult for societies to give the power to decide to those who carry the consequences?"
Christine McCafferty, Lab, Calder Valley
"Obtaining an abortion today is incredibly easy. I know this, having recently accompanied my friend to an NHS-sponsored clinic. Consultations at the hairdressers I think have taken longer than the amount of time it took to make a decision to have an abortion."
Claire Curtis-Thomas, Lab, Crosby
"All too often the woman is left out of this discussion - she becomes invisible - and women have different moral views on whether abortion is acceptable and, if so, the circumstances in which it is acceptable."
Judy Mallaber, Lab, Amber Valley
"A live abortion became a death in seven minutes. I knew then that one day I would be able to defend children like him. I believe a baby has rights. Those rights kick in when if that baby were born it would have a chance of life and if it feels pain as part of the abortion."
Nadine Dorries (below), Con, Mid Bedfordshire, on witnessing a "botched" abortion
"The upper limit was set by parliament in 1990 at 24 weeks because scientific evidence at the time was that the threshold of viability had increased. It has always been linked to the potential viability of the foetus outside the womb. That was the case in 1967. It was the case in 1990 and is certainly the case now. While there have been medical advances in caring for premature babies, only a small number born after 24 weeks gestation can survive. Wouldn't it be appalling if we drove women back to where they were before the 1967 act?"
Health minister Dawn Primarolo
"The moral reality is if you abort a baby at 22 weeks you may - and you cannot know - be aborting a baby viable within the meaning of the act. There are people in our world today in no way inferior to us in capacity, intelligence and beauty, who were born at 22 weeks.
John Pugh, Lib Dem, Southport
"Any attempt to reduce the abortion limit of 24, even to 22 weeks, is an attack on abortion generally."
Julie Morgan, Labour, Cardiff North
"We have in this country at the moment a situation in which you can have two children, of exactly the same age and gestation and one is in a cot with all the resources of medical science being poured into saving it and the other is quite deliberately being taken from the womb and destroyed. That is moral anarchy. That is a totally unjustifiable state of affairs."
Ann Widdecombe, Con, Maidstone and the Weald

Pet pig Nemo's lymphoma treatment makes research history
By Yasmeen Abutaleb
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - When George Goldner went to feed his six pet pigs earlier this year, his 730-pound (331-kg) companion Nemo was acting strangely. Nemo had suddenly stopped eating and laid in the mud.
So Goldner loaded Nemo into a trailer and drove more than two hours to Cornell University Hospital for Animals (CUHA) in Ithaca, New York. There he learned his four-year-old Hampshire pig had what doctors believed was the blood cancer B-cell lymphoma.
The hospital's researchers told Goldner they had never seen a pig treated for cancer. But that did not deter Goldner, a self-described animal lover, who asked doctors to devise a way to treat his pig based on their knowledge of cancer in dogs and humans and not worry about costs.
Now, four months after Goldner first rushed to the hospital, Nemo has made history as the first known pig to undergo lymphoma treatment - and successfully - leaving researchers with hope for advancements in treating cancer in large animals.
"Before when large animals were diagnosed with cancer, it was pretty much impossible to treat them," said Emily Barrell, a resident who picked all of Nemo's chemotherapy drugs and delivered them. "Now we have a model to base it on."
Because pigs have necks bigger than many humans, their veins are difficult to access, Barrell said, making it impossible to deliver many of the aggressive drugs needed for chemotherapy.
Doctors at CUHA consulted with researchers in other fields before implanting a vascular access port, which is a small metal port with a silicone cover, directly under Nemo's skin behind his ear.
The port contained a catheter that ran through a jugular vein in his neck, allowing Nemo to receive the sort of cancer treatment administered to dogs and humans. Continued...

maybe someone here knows the answer to this. when you install a single din head unit in a 07 wrx waggon do you need a bracket kit?? the car came with the 6 disc changer (double din). i have asked at a few of the shops in town and i am having a hard time getting a straight answer.
also what are you guys doing with the extra space left in the dash? is there some kind of insert to cover up the hole?

Race Recap: The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) kicked-off its 19th season of competition at one of the sport's most famous venues, Daytona International Speedway (DIS) for Friday night's NextEra Energy Resources 250. Making his 323rd career start in the series, Ron Hornaday came out of the gate strong and proved he has what it takes to be a five-time champion in 2013. Starting fourth, his best start since Dover (2012), Hornaday remained in the top-five for most of the 100-lap event, never falling out of the top-10 on the score board. With a mix of strategy in the pits and patience on the track, Hornaday, scored third on the final restart with five laps to go, was poised to be a contender for his 52nd career NCWTS win at the end of the 250-mile event. With the top-12 trucks single file, Hornaday had a plan to work with his Chevrolet Racing partner, Ty Dillon in the final laps. However, as Johnny Sauter took the white flag for the final lap, an accident involving four trucks on the frontstretch froze the field. Hornaday would go on to take the checkered flag from the third position under caution, his best finish since Iowa Speedway (July, 2012). Johnny Sauter captured his seventh career NCWTS victory, followed by Kyle Busch, Ron Hornaday, Justin Lofton and Jeb Burton. Hornaday's Sunoco Rookie of the year contender teammate, Brennan Newberry, started from the pole in his career first start at DIS but was involved in a lap-55 accident in turn-three which relegated the No. 14 Chevrolet Silverado to a 33rd-place finish. Ron Hornaday Quote: "I'm really proud of what NTS Motorsports, Bob Newberry, and Joe Denette put together. I had a pretty strong truck tonight. Last year I couldn't get up to the guys bumpers and this year I could. I was able to push and draft well and who knows what would have happened on that final lap if it played out. We were talking to Dillon's team about working with him and it would have been interesting. When you are going for a championship, you have to get out of Daytona with a good finish and points day. I'm happy with where we ended up and with the organization as a whole. For Brennan (Newberry) to come out here, his first race at Daytona, and sit on the pole, it says a lot about the direction this team is going in. Everyone is working really hard and I'm looking forward to 2013." Notes: • Hornaday posted his third top-10 finish in 10 starts at DIS • This marked Hornaday's 149th career NCWTS top-five finish • Average running position for Hornaday and the No. 9 Smokey Mountain Herbal Snuff Chevrolet in Friday night's NCWTS event was 4.370 • The 54-year-old veteran spent 100.0 percent of the 100-lap event in the top-15 • Hornaday had a driver rating of 104.6 (3rd overall) in the NextEra Energy Resources 250 Up Next: The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series will take five weeks off before heading to Martinsville Speedway for the Kroger 250 on Saturday, April 6. Hornaday, has 21 starts at the half-mile "paper-clip" including 311 laps led, 10 top-five and 13 top-10 finishes. The second event on the 2013 schedule will air live on SPEED at 1:30 p.m. ET. -NTS Motorsports PR

text: ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Aug. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Gevo, Inc. (NASDAQ: GEVO) filed a lawsuit for declaratory judgment against Butamax™ Advanced Biofuels, LLC (Butamax), E.I. DuPont de Nemours and Co. (NYSE: DD), BP p.l.c. (NYSE: BP), BP Corporation North America Inc. and BP Biofuels North America LLC, seeking a judicial determination that a recently issued Butamax U.S. Patent No. 8,241,878 ('878 Patent) is invalid and that Gevo does not infringe on it. "We believe Butamax's patent is invalid and will be filing a Request for Reexamination with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office," said Brett Lund, Executive Vice President and General Counsel of Gevo. "We can make this claim for many reasons, including the fact that we already have an issued patent covering this technology and we invented it before Butamax filed its patent application. Butamax's '878 Patent covers only two Dihydroxy-Acid Dehydratase (DHAD) enzymes, unlike Gevo's patented technology in U.S Patent No. 8,232,089 ('089 Patent) that covers dozens of DHADs, including the two DHADs claimed in Butamax's '878 Patent." On July 31, Gevo filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court of Eastern District Texas charging infringement of Gevo's DHAD technology in its '089 Patent by DuPont, BP, and Butamax. In a lawsuit filed today, Butamax alleged that Gevo infringes its '878 Patent. In Gevo's opinion, Butamax's lawsuit appears retaliatory as Gevo has already sued Butamax and its parent companies for infringing Gevo's DHAD technology in July and today Gevo sued them again for a declaratory judgment. "Gevo has advanced well beyond the R&D stage. We are now operating commercially," Lund said. "We believe this action is an attempt by Butamax and its corporate parents to impede our progress. They are trying to use the courts to compensate for their lack of progress."

Poll Archives
At many, if not most, universities, students are assigned to a personal tutor who is charged with responsibilities beyond the purely academic. The extent of their remit and of their usefulness varies enormously. Some have regular meetings to discuss everything from exams to sex, others introduce themselves to their tutees at the beginning of their college career with some Le Piat D'Or and limp cheese and don't see them again till graduation day. Sometimes they're called moral tutors, but expecting academics to give moral guidance is like asking a fish to run a marathon.
A Postgraduate Certificate in Education is a one-year postgraduate course that graduates can take and which qualifies them to become teachers. At the moment, most students get six grand just for doing the course and might get their student loan paid off too if they go on to become a teacher in a subject where there's a shortage. A PGCE's not the only way to become a teacher - you can also do a four-year Bachelor of Education undergrad degree.
'What is philosophy?' is a philosophical question, but, ever ready to ponder even the deepest mysteries, Push's definition is that it's about asking the complex questions behind other subjects. Without necessarily expecting an answer. So, when philosophers ask 'Does God exist?', they're more interested in the ideas and argument involved, than His fax number (for that you want theology).
Of course, nobody with the intelligence and decency to read The Push Guide would want to become anything as vile as a politician, but you might wish to study how these creatures operate. Politics (aka Political Studies, Government, etc) uses elements of history, economics, statistics and more to investigate how people govern themselves and each other and whether Gordon Brown will ever smile.
Polytechnic (Poly):
Once upon a time there was something called 'the binary divide' which distinguished between universities and polytechnics. It never meant much anyway and now it means nothing at all. Polytechnics tended to have a slant towards vocational courses and an often unfair reputation for lower academic standards than universities. Now they've all become universities themselves, but the old poly prejudices seem to linger about like last week's dirty socks, again somewhat unfairly.
A student doing a postgraduate degree, ie. they've already got one degree and now they're doing another higher one such as a masters degree, a doctorate (PhD) or a postgraduate certificate in education (PGCE).
A form of teaching, or probably more accurately, of learning, usually used in sciencey type subjects. It involves doing experiments and the like.
A big cheese in an academic department - often the head - but, at any rate, someone who has climbed the brain hierarchy.
If, at university, you ever get pestered by students wielding clipboards and asking intimate questions about sexuality and your favourite colour, chances are they're either chatting you up or they're psychologists (or both). Psychology is the study of the way people think and behave, using elements of biology, sociology, maths and other disciplines. And sometimes they make wee little mazes for rats to run around in.

water in tv
what can i do to fix a 2002 sony 57 inch tv if it got water in it?
well, I guess the trick of putting it into the refrigerator to make use of the dehumidification isn't going to work on something that size.
short of buying a lot of products that use silica gel packs as desiccant and packing the think in a plastic bag with them, I'm out of ideas.
In case that idea sounds workable to you, here is a site (first one I ran across) that sells the stuff
.....looks too trollish to me to respond.
If you turned it on already, it's probably game over, if not, just let it sit in a dry area with lot of ventilation for a couple days. Maybe blow a fan over it with a dehumidifier in the same room. If it's a hot room even better, add a heater if you can. MAybe a heater blowing directly on the TV, and just don't bother with the fan. Obviously use proper safety when you set this up so you don't catch your whole house on fire and stuff.
If the water got inside while it was turned on, and the water is what caused it to turn off, then it's probably done for, but may be worth a try anyway.
I agree with red squirrel. We did this with our ref that has been flooded with 2 feet of water for almost half a day. We only turned it on after a few months. Guess what? It's still working.
Empty as much water as you can out of it and then try to dry it as quickly as possible. I would really wait a whole week with using hair dryers or fans (forced ventilation) or two weeks just sitting before turning it on.
The faster you can dry it out the better since the more time wet, the greater the chance of corrosion. If you can take the back off easily, do that and then aim the fan at it.
Don't hold a hair dryer too close. You need to have the hot air mix with cool room air before hitting the TV.

Miami has been to the NCAA tournament just once since joining the ACC in 2004, but the Hurricanes are looking more than capable of getting there this season after wins over Michigan State and Charlotte in two of the last three games.
Yes, it's early and the entire ACC slate awaits the Hurricanes, but this team is playing well on the defensive end and looks confident and hungry.
Seven Miami players blocked at least one shot as the Hurricanes walloped Charlotte 77-46. The 49ers were the only undefeated team remaining in the A-10 entering Friday's games and were off to the best start in school history. Miami hadn't played a game in 13 days but it showed no rust.
Coach Jim Larranaga has the Hurricanes challenging shots and making it tough on opponents to get easy baskets near the rim. After stumbling out of the gate and allowing 79 points to Stetson in the season opener, Miami hasn't allowed another opponent to score more than 63 points.
Miami also overcame the distraction of redshirt freshman Bishop Daniels leaving the team Friday
The Hurricanes have played only twice away from home so far and the first of those occasions resulted in a loss against a gritty Florida Gulf Coast team when Miami was still without guard Durand Scott, who served a suspension earlier this season. Four of the Hurricanes next five games will be played on the road, including a big test in early January against North Carolina.
Scott scored 16 points with 12 rebounds in beating Charlotte and Kenny Kadji led all scorers with 17 points.

Self Check Out //Fast Lane//-Stupid
Why do I have to check myself out now at some stores? Do you guys have to deal with this? I went to Home Depot to get twenty pieces of PVC pipe, I got there around 7:00. The only check out that was open was the one where you scan the items yourself (Self Check Out Fast Lane ) and put them on the scale, which wouldn't hold my PVC pipe anyway. I told the guy that was being paid to monitor the self check out line that I'm not checking **** out, tell someone to open a check out line. And they refused, so they did the self check out for me. Haha, that makes alot of sense!
Does this sound stupid to anyone else, they pay someone to watch the self checkout which usually gives every person who uses it a problem. Wouldn't it make sense to have the person watching the line open one of the check out counters since none of those were open, therefore not leaving every customer with the burden of checking himself out. Along with Home Depot is see this poor excuse for and idea being used in many super markets.
I love the self scanners at the grocery store. Usually, our store has two lines open, which are packed. They'll have 3 self scanners open in addition to those, and it gets me outta there in a hurry. It also lets the little ones help out........and when little kids are on a shopping trip, if they're occupied and happy, believe me, EVERYONE is happy.
I do have to agree with you though. If there wasn't any other lines open, the self scanner guy should have opened a regular line. That doesn't make much sense at all, and it would make the guy appear lazy.
Maybe the reason they have self checkout is because they can't find anyone that knows how to count change these days! Oops, Sorry the registers do that for them, my mistake
And I thought it was only me that had a problem at home depot. Every time I go thru the self check out there is some kind of problem with the scanner, then the "gestapo" comes over like I'm some kind of idiot from the 60's (I am) that cant figure out how to use a kids computer, then he has trouble with the scanner. Of course they want to make it look like I screwed up the machine.
But then again, there is an electronics store here in town that still uses a paper and pencil on a carbon pad to write up the sales.
I just dont get it!
i love em'.
they have them just about everywhere you go now.
i no longer have to wait behind some house wife that has 50,000 items when i only have 5 max.
good stuff i tell ya, good stuff
i'm from western canada and there is no self cashiers
I HATE those (*&^(*&^ things !! I REFUSE to use them. They never work. I was in Home Depot 3 weeks ago, and they didn't have any cashiers open. I had a TON of plumbing fittings, misc. tools and assorted crap in the cart. The "watcher" said that I HAVE to use the autocashier. I said, "Really? You can put everything away, if you don't want to take my money!" and I walked out ! SCREW THEM!
I hate 'em. The local Home Depot doesn't have them yet, but one of the supermarkets do, and i regret everytime I use them. It usually doesn't like an item and needs one of the "watchers" to do something. And if your buying alcohol, one of the "watchers" has to punch a keycode as well.
Between two supermarkets, one with the self-check and one without, the one without is always faster for me.
But as said in earlier post - it's hard to find good help and they don't pay much, and finding someone who can count in english and willing to work minimum wage is difficult, i guess!
The "watcher" said that I HAVE to use the autocashier. I said, "Really? You can put everything away, if you don't want to take my money!" and I walked out ! SCREW THEM!
I love it!!! Sounds like something I've done.
We don't have the self-scanners around here yet, but my question is... what ever happened to CUSTOMER SERVICE ??
I love them, never had a problem with self checkers.
If you can't use 'em your probably like my dad, too damn old!
snot-nosed little brat...... LOL, Just kiddin!
I mean, we FINALLY found out how to use these newfangled cornpukers... and now you want us to program the VCR ??
i never had a problem with them until i went to home depot with a CHECK, good lord the girl at the front counter pulled out a hand book. correct me if im wrong but arent these things suppos to make things faster???
What's a check?............................
The reason that they use this self serve stuff is that they can't get competant people to work for them for minimum wage. In the long run, they save money and it's only the customer that suffers.
Of course, they wouldn't want to pass those savings on to us, now would they?
I usually only buy a few items, so I use the self-checkers...which are supposed to be limited to 12 or less items. What makes me mad are those women who are trying to sneak their 87 items through!!
Wait a minute! You mean VCR's can be programmed? LOL!
THe thing is it's all about the bottom line. That's 3 cashiers they don't have to pay.
The local Home Depot has one, 4 stations, 1 watcher. It would be ok except you can never find floor help when you need it either.
It depends on the store though. I tried to but a palm nailer at the local store which showed as in stock in the inventory and after searching for over a half hour, they gave up and said "We just don't know where ithey are, somebody put them away so they wouldn't get stolen." Each managers different. There's another HD 3-4 miles away where they have MUCH better service.
Another thing that PO's me is that they often change the brands they stock looking for the best deal for them. I bought some High strength grout for foundation repair. 8000PSI stuff. I used it up and went back for more the next week. No longer handle it! Best they had was 6000PSI. Had to search out a concrete supply.
