TOP STORY > > City saves $1M in annexation loss
Leader staff writer
A million dollars that Jacksonville had earmarked for Gravel Ridge could now be used to straighten out a dangerous curve on West Main, the mayor said Thursday night.
Mayor Tommy Swaim tossed the idea out to the council after Alderman Gary Fletcher voiced concern about the 90-degree curve near Emma Street.
Just this week four cars slid off the roadway at that curve, including a police vehicle, Fletcher said, addressing Public Works Director Jim Oakley.
Id like to see us at least put down some rumble strips to warn drivers to slow down around the curve, Fletcher said.
Swaim said the city has been looking at various ways to make the curve less dangerous. It will be straightened out as development happens in that area, he said.
But in the meantime, the mayor said the city would look into adding the rumble strips to the road.
The million dollars the mayor referred to was a combination of money the city had and money the city will save by not having to provide services, explained City Administrator Jay Whisker.
Whisker said Jacksonville first thought of annexing Gravel Ridge back in 1976, but at that time did not have the money to provide required services. We had it now and that was one reason we tried to annex the area, Whisker explained.
Fletcher also said that since Gravel Ridge went into Sherwood, that Jacksonville sewer and water departments, which have been investing heavily in infrastructure on the western side of the city, anticipating that Gravel Ridge would hook into Jacksonvilles system, could now turn its attention inward.
Keeping our infrastructure in good shape will keep our rates low, he said.
The fire department, which received approval last month to purchase a new ambulance, had planned to keep the older model to make sure it had enough ambulances to cover Jacksonville and Gravel Ridge. Now the department has options.
The council, as a whole, said the recent annexation vote went as they expected. It may be a blessing in disguise, said Alderman Marshall Smith.
Alderman Bob Stroud took time to thank those aldermen who spent time knocking on doors in Gravel Ridge, talking to the residents and asking them to vote. Those he thanked included aldermen Kenny Elliott, Bill Howard, Gary Fletcher, Kevin McCleary and Smith.
In other council business:
The mayor introduced the new city planner, David Joe Chip McCulley, 28. Our city engineer position has been open for about 18 months, the mayor said. Thats still open, but we did hire a city planner.
McCulley will be responsible for most of the work that City Administrator Jay Whisker did when he was the city engineer.
Swaim also introduced the new police chief, giving the new hire a scare by saying, and heres a person that will have a real short stint in his job.
Instead of introducing Gary Sipes, the new police chief, the mayor introduced Kenny Boyd, who was serving as the police departments interim chief.
Sipes, 51, the new chief, will start on the job Monday.
The council agreed to spend almost $32,000 to purchase four backup power generators for the fire department.
The mayor reminded the council that the citywide cleanup was set for 9 a.m. Saturday beginning at the chamber of commerce, and that an informational meeting on the proposed Two Pine Landfill expansion will be 6 p.m. Monday.
Aldermen reappointed Joan Zumwalt to the sewer commission.
Her term will expire April 2013.

Many medicines used to treat children have been designed for adults and have not been properly tested on the young.
The research network will be co-ordinated by the university in partnership with the Royal Liverpool Children's NHS Trust at Alder Hey.
Scientists will work towards developing medicines for asthma, meningitis, epilepsy and migraine.
Rosalind Smyth, Professor of Paediatric Medicine at Alder Hey Children's Hospital, will become director of the new co-ordinating centre.
She said: "Children have the right to the same standards of medicine as adults, and this strategy is another step towards achieving this."
The network is the latest step in the Department of Health's paediatric medicines strategy.
It has been developed in collaboration with Imperial College, London, the Liverpool Women's Hospital, the National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit at the University of Oxford and the National Children's Bureau.

Roslindale Vistas

Where's the foghorn?
Fog descends on Washington Street in Roslindale late one foggy fall afternoon.

Fill 'er up
Did people used to pull up in their Studebakers and Ramblers to this now ancient pump on Cummins Highway in Roslindale? Did a bell, activated by an air hose, ding twice, summoning a swarm of snappy attendants in spiffy uniforms who'd check the oil and clean the windshields as the driver went into the station for a free map and a bottle of Coke (which he'd down after using the wall-mounted opener)?

Urban hieroglyphics
A pedestrian bridge across the Amtrak and commuter-rail tracks connects Metropolitan Avenue in Roslindale with Metropolitian Avenue in Hyde Park. It's covered in grafitti that no doubt is laden with deep significance to somebody. Most of us, however, can only wonder who, or what, LOC is and why somebody had to come all the way down from Eggie, a.k.a. Egleston Square, to mark his presence. It's almost enough to make you think this seemingly abandoned bridge in the middle of nowhere is, in fact, at the front line of some unseen war.MORE... "Urban hieroglyphics"

Now entering Hyde Park
If you look, you can still spot signs that Hyde Park was once an independent town, 93 years after Boston annexed it. Above is a former town boundary marker at Dale Street and Windham Road (in what most people would now consider Roslindale) that has somehow survived decades of snowplowing and repaving (there's a "B" on the other side).MORE...

Downtown views
There are numerous spots in the neighborhood where you can get really nice views of downtown Boston and the Back Bay. One of my favorites is on Washington Street, because you're driving down the street when all of a sudden, just past the Brooks, boom, there's downtown right in your face - and just as suddenly, as you near Beech Street, the view disappears.
The view is also constantly changing, depending on the time of day and weather. Here's a shot of a ghostly Back Bay from the Bates School parking lot on a foggy day:
The Beech Street cliff
Take Beech Street past West Street and you wind up in a little cul-de-sac on the side of a cliff, with some nice views of the surrounding neighborhoods and towns (on July 4th, you can watch fireworks from the South Shore):
The cliff is falling apart - old maps show Beech Street continuing into Hyde Park, but now there's only a footpath and a chain link fence that keeps you from falling off the side of the cliff:

To vaccinate or not - when do rights of parents conflict with greater good?
Saving kids' lives
I think any parent who does not vaccinate a child against a preventable disease is completely out of their mind.
Does the child, who counts on his or her parents to protect him or her any way they can, deserve to get said disease because of the parents' "fears" of the harm that it may cause the child? These vaccinations were developed to save children's lives. What happens if the child gets the disease and, heaven forbid, dies? Then the parent cries and blames everyone but themselves that the child got ill and died.
I was at every doctor's appointment to get the shots for my twins and they are perfectly healthy and happy.
-Donna Roberts, Eagle Rock
It's mandatory
It's too bad that in some cases magical thinking trumps scientific evidence. Vaccination should be compulsory, and education about it should be required.
-Phoebe Marrall, San Marino
Few excuses
Parents have no right to endanger their children and the rest of us because of religious eccentricities or worse, on account of some popular urban legend. Ignorance of all stripes, however heartfelt, is no excuse. The only legitimate excuse is a valid medical excuse. If the situation is not out of control, government should start with a small stick and, maybe, a carrot if one is available. If that doesn't work, then use the big stick.
Kids need to be vaccinated. Period. It's ridiculous to see childhood diseases making a comeback - dangerous diseases that were once all but eradicated. It wouldn't hurt to bring back serious education in the sciences as well.
I think California is on the right track, so far.
-Dave E. Matson, Pasadena
Diseases no game
Parents who do not vaccinate their children are gambling that the majority of parents will vaccinate, thereby ensuring their children will not contract serious diseases. Children should not be used as roulette wheels.
Parents who are caught up in the popular anti-vaccination craze should visit the slums of Uganda and Kenya, where they would see the devastating results of diphtheria, whooping cough, measles and polio. These diseases are no game.
-Donna Harrison, La Verne
Enforce the law
True, information must reach people who do not understand how vaccinations work nor why there is a worldwide need to use the procedure to prevent children from getting dangerous diseases. The information needs to be provided in newspapers, television and the Internet. Many people believe what they read on the Internet. There should also be facilities for dispensing inoculations to those who are unable to pay. The law must be enforced, just as adherence to speed limits and other public safety laws are enforced.
-Eleanor Valentine, Pasadena
Let parents decide
I am against forcing parents to vaccinate their children. I am an older generation adult who grew up before widespread vaccinations. People kept their children home from school when they were sick. Yes, I know (and I was a working mom at one time, too) how difficult it is for a parent to take time off from work to take care of a sick child. But kids come first.
My beautiful granddaughter was a smiling, happy baby until the day she had her first vaccination. It changed her forever. Her bodily functions stopped functioning the way they are supposed to. I cannot prove that the vaccine was the cause, but it was at that point in time that it happened. I also cannot prove that she has encephalopathy. But I know that she is on the low end (lighter aspects) of the autism spectrum now, too.
If I had children now, I would not vaccinate them. Unless the government provides lifetime support to children who are injured by vaccines, my vote is to let the parents decide.
-Jean Throckmorton, Burbank
Parents decide
A parent's refusal to have their child vaccinated does not put a generation at risk.
Many of today's vaccinations for highly contagious diseases were not available when I was a child, and my generation survived. Although when my children were born, I felt they should receive the benefits of new scientific research, so they received the available vaccinations, plus were taught good health habits such as diet and hygiene.
However, I am a strong believer that the government should leave all decisions about raising a child to the parents who elected to give birth to or adopt a child. Considering that the parents of children today made a decision to raise a child, they should have the right to choose what is best for their child without the government telling them what is or is not legal.
-Robin G. Mitchell, Torrance

What's your favourite lettuce? You know, we've been enjoyed for thousands of years. It's recorded that the kings of Persia were partial to us as long ago as 550 BC; the Father of Medicine, Hippocrates, sang our praises to his fellow Grecians; and Chaucer wrote about us in 1387 in the Prologue to his Canterbury Tales. So you see, we've a long and distinguished history - but more of that later.
First let me tell you about me and my family. One of the world's most popular salad vegetables, we come in many shapes, sizes and colours. There are four main types in Australia, all of which are widely grown. Let me introduce them to you.
Did you know?
Why Lettuce is Good To Eat
How Lettuce is Grown and Harvested
Today, we're generally grown hydroponically in a nutrient solution. This allows the grower to have greater control so that we can be grown more quickly. Growing us this way is also beneficial for harvesting because as we're not on the ground those picking us do not need to bend down. Hydroponics also allows us to be grown year round.
Choosing Lettuce
How to Keep Lettuce
Prime Growing Areas
History of Lettuce
Three types of lettuce seed were brought out on the First Fleet ships to Australia in 1788 and were planted the same year in Sydney and on Norfolk Island. Most early records of vegetable production in the new colony have a reference to us.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/6/2014 (1144 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A week after a derailment, service has been restored on the Hudson Bay Railway that serves dozens of northern Manitoba communities, including Churchill.
Omnitrax Canada said Monday the line reopened at about 7 p.m., with full freight service expected to resume shortly afterward.
On June 2, 13 cars carrying grain derailed just south of Churchill. Bad weather stalled repairs to the track and also prompted the cancellation of several Via trains carrying tourists.
Unstable permafrost has traditionally made the rail line prone to long delays and derailments. It's one reason environmental groups balk at a plan by Omntrax to ship crude oil to the port of Churchill.
Omnitrax says, since taking over the railway in 1997, the company has invested $110 million into improvements, in addition to the $40 million invested by the provincial and federal governments.

Bethesda MD (SPX) Mar 12, 2007
Here is some news that will certainly get on people's nerves: In a study to be published in the March 2007 issue of The FASEB Journal, scientists from East Carolina University report that a key molecular mechanism, RNA interference (RNAi), plays a role in the regeneration and repair of periphery nerves, which are the nerves located outside of the brain and spinal column.
This research may lead to new therapies that manipulate RNAi to treat people with damaged nerves resulting from degenerative disorders and injury.
Andrew Z. Fire of Stanford University and Craig C. Mello of the University of Massachusetts won the 2006 Nobel Prize for the discovery of RNAi. This study builds on this and other RNAi research, which was reviewed in the July 2006 issue of The FASEB Journal, showing that RNAi regulates the creation of proteins in the body. Until now, there has been no direct evidence that RNAi controls local protein synthesis in axonal nerve fibers, which act as "pavement" for the nervous system's "information superhighway."
In addition, the mechanism involved in the nerve fiber creation did not depend on communication with, or transport from, the nerve cell body or its nucleus, or from surrounding support cells. Axonal nerve fibers can be as long as three feet (sciatic nerve), and this independence makes RNAi a promising drug target.
"Repairing and rebuilding damaged nerve tissue is one of the greatest medical advances not yet achieved," said Gerald Weissmann, MD, Editor-in-Chief of The FASEB Journal, "and this research is a huge leap forward. It's no accident that a Nobel Prize discovery should be followed up by great new science."

"The Feynman Lectures on Gravitation are based on notes prepared during a course on gravitational physics that Richard Feynman taught at Caltech during the 1962-63 academic year. For several years prior to these lectures, Feynman thought long and hard about the fundamental problems in gravitational physics, yet he published very little. These lectures represent a useful record of his viewpoints and some of his insights into gravity and its application to cosmology, superstars, wormholes, and gravitational waves at that particular time. The lectures also contain a number of fascinating digressions and asides on the foundations of physics and other issues." "Characteristically, Feynman took an untraditional non-geometric approach to gravitation and general relativity based on the underlying quantum aspects of gravity. Hence, these lectures contain a unique pedagogical account of the development of Einstein's general relativity as the inevitable result of the demand for a self-consistent theory of a massless spin-2 field (the graviton) coupled to the energy-momentum tensor of matter. This approach also demonstrates the intimate and fundamental connection between gauge invariance and the Principle of Equivalence."--Jacket.

The Fox T is another wing for nanolight trikes for those who want to feel the simplicity and real pleasure of bird-like flying. It is completely different feeling when you fly the Fox T: slow, low and maneuverable flying is real fun when you fly it. Even the light turbulence doesn't feel – the wing simply absorb it, giving you possibility to fly as relaxed as you can.
The Fox T has been developed from our beginner glider Target 16 and is reinforced and adapted exclusively for flying with the nanolight trikes.

September the 11th is supposed to be a good day to bury bad news, and Iain Dale has chosen today to publish his top 100 Labour blogs. NTaH is down from a heady No30 (I think - I can't find it now) to a lowly 74 this year.
I'm trying to put a brave face on this, but if I'm honest, I've let you - my readers - down a little bit in 2008 by somewhat neglecting this blog in favour of my far-more-boring-if-that's-possible Local Democracy blog - a site I confidently predict will slip beneath Mr Dale's radar (it's much more non-aligned than NTaH is, that's for sure).
I notice that the Virtual Stoa - so good they ranked it twice - is bookending this blog at both no 67 and 86 - surely grounds for celebrations in the Senior Common Room at Scone College?
Dave Osler isn't there at all - wtf? And I don't know how Bloggerheads or Chicken Yoghurt will console themselves with dropping off the list entirely.
How the mighty are fallen.

Caffe Gioia is made by Labcaffe, and is "based on a deep passion for coffee," according to their website. They are certainly concerned with quality, having achieved ISO 90001 certification for their manufacturing facility. I found their coffee available in regular and decaf ESE Espresso pod varieties.
Caffe Gioia Classico "White" (Decaf) - I picked up the Caffe Gioia Classico "White" pods for this review. The aroma is clean but not overpowering. The flavor profile is dominated by the tnagy acid flavor, with hints of smokiness. The body is full, but at the expense of the acidity a bit, not the most well rounded cup I have ever tasted.
These ESE Espresso pods are made to be used in popular makers like the Breville Café Roma, the Krups XP4050, and the DeLonghi EC155 espresso machines; all have the ability to use ESE Espresso pods.
Available at Pod Merchant.
There is a huge espresso machine sale going on right now at Amazon; up to 25% off a few dozen machines. This sale reaches from the $49 Krups FND111 Steam driven machine, to the $99 Delonghi EC155 pump driven machine all the way up to the Jura Capresso Impressa F9 fully automatic Coffee and Espresso center.
This might just be incentive enough to pick up early holiday presents and knock those items off the shopping lists. Remember; free shipping on these items too!

A quick K-cup pick heading into the weekend this weekend is the Timothy's Midnight Magic K-cups. The Midnight Magic blend is a dark roasted coffee that has a spicy flavor; with a mild sweetness and a fairly powerful punch. In our
Keurig B70 brewer brewer I tend to brew these on the small cup setting and brew a couple at a time to get a very full large mug of coffee in the mornings when I am not brewing up espresso. Life's busy, not much time in the morning, and I always get freshly brewed coffee with the Keurig.
A Two-pack of 25 K-cups each for $20 - special now on shutterfly cards - through 10/31.

Thought I would start playing around with decafs as a lot of readers are asking for a few ideas on decaf pods to try out. I ordered the Fantini Decaf ESE Pods up and
have been enjoying even more espresso later into the night and am still able to sleep without issue, waking to a fresh caffeinated shot in the morning.
The Fantini company started roasting coffee in the 1960's in Rome and these days they deliver coffee to more than 10,000 espresso bars around the country and around the world. Their new plant, built to ISO 9002.2000 standards for quality and care. The new plant location is about 12 miles south of Rome.
I've been pulling a few of these over several nights and have enjoyed them a good bit. The aroma is good, but not overwhelming like a freshly ground whole bean. In the cup, the crema is nice and full but again, it's not as voluptuous as a freshly ground set of freshly roasted coffee beans. It's not bad and covers the cup giving you a nice pillow of foam.
The roast is dark, and as a result the flavor is spicy, peppery with some chocolately flavors mixed in. It's moderately acidic, and has a finish that is fairly full bodied, but with some sharp pungent notes that stick out. It is by no means a bad espresso, and with the kind of treatment that decaffeination does for a bean, it's good to see these flavors.
The Fantini Decaf Pods are available at Selecto
Starbucks has some city specific collectors mugs out that highlight some of the best coffee drinking cities in the country…. Or some of the largest Starbucks markets where they think they can sell a bunch of mugs. Of course, if anyone wants to buy me a set of four, you can send me the Boston Mugs. The skylines are depicted in an architectural style with a nickname below.
The mugs are available in the following versions: Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Orange County, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver, Washington DC.

It is able to brew from both ESE pods and ground coffee utilizing two different brass filter holder. The 44-ounce water reservoir feeds the 16-bar pump that flows through a 900-watt heater to deliver brew temperature water to the grounds. I like the fact that the boiler and piping are brass, and that the operation is classic; thermometer dial, and easy flip switches. It has a steam wand that is driven by its own thermostat, and is controlled with a dial.
The Ascaso DR.116 Dream Espresso Machine is available at Starbucks and Amazon.

Did you hear about the great Italian Civil War, or rather the battle of the Northern Italian Blends vs. the Southern Italian blends? Well over at CoffeeGeek.com you need to read all about it. The battle included entries from Italy and then Northern and Southern style blends that were roasted here in North America. The methodology is pretty well laid out, I like it, and the details long, so settle in for a good read.
The net takeaway is that a highly skilled blender and roaster here can beat the pants off a commercial blend from Italy. It all comes down to freshness. It's tough though if you don't have a world-class roaster down the street from you, so it's not always easy to take advantage of the 6,000-mile difference between locally roasted coffee and those from Italy. Now several of the North American blends can be mail-ordered, or in the case of the Allegro, you can get it at your local Whole Foods.
As you read the article, remember that these are ratings by judges, and while they are rating the overall quality of the cup, these blends and roasts might not be the kind of coffee you like; so even if something was rated the best in the world, you may think it too dark for your tastes. I would encourage you to get to know what you like and then seek out examples of that style, roast, body, etc. and strive to get better and better examples of that style.
Check out CoffeeGeek.com for the whole run-down.
Word out that Coke and Illy have inked a deal to develop coffee drinks. This on the heels of Coke and Caribou doing the same thing.... So, if you were keeping score, it's Pepsi and Starbucks peppering the market with cans of iced coffee, double shot espressos and those bottles of cold frappuccinos, while Coke has their Caribou coffee in test market. Hummmm, it looks like Coke hasn't figured out how to make their famous Georgia coffee business from Japan work here.
So, if you are looking for that Euro café feel at home, you can always try out one of these in your house; the Mini Verticale Elektra espresso makers are pure Euro eye candy. Not everyone can get one of these to fit in on their countertops, but if you have the need, the desire, the space and a few grand, you are there.
They come in metal, brass and copper finishes, so that you can emulate that café of your dreams.

Need to make a statement with that moka pot sitting on the counter top? Well the Typhoon Red Moka Pot may just be the bright "Good Morning" wake-up call that you are looking for. The 3-cup size is about enough for a regular sized cup of coffee if you like to cut it with milk, or several shots of espresso. While I generally like to use a pump-driven espresso maker at home, I love moka pots for their ability to bring easy and high quality coffee on the road with me.

Quick pick this weekend for Lucaffe Blucaffe Espresso Pods. I got these in recently from Pod Merchant and think that they are pretty good. They are a premium pod from Lucaffe, and are said to be sourced from the areas of the Indian Ocean, aged 18 months and slow roasted for great taste.
What I noticed is that the Blucaffe pods are fairly dark roasted, and a powerful cup, with a cleaner finish than I like with robusta pods, but fuller than typical Arabica pods. The aroma is good, crema, acceptable, not the best I have seen, and again a fairly dark roast.
Pod Merchant has a sampler pack and larger sizes too.
Been throwing away all of those extra cup jackets along with the cups? Well, a few million of those hit landfills every day, so why not try out something that adds a bit of fashion to the coffee shop experience while saving trees?
These Cup Sleeves are reusable, washable, and fit most 12, 16 & 20 ounce cups. They fold flat to stow away in your purse, briefcase or backpack, and they only cost about $12.

Now here's a refrigerator that would be right at home in the SingleServeEspresso.com kitchen, the new side-by-side refrigerator that has a built-in espresso machine in the door. Of course, there is a water filter so that your espresso tastes great. The unit can dispense espresso from pods and hot water; no real word on its true capabilities as an espresso maker. Let's hope that they put as much work into designing the espresso maker as they did the refrigerator; I am not so sure you'll be happy with a broken espresso maker in the middle of your refrigerator door, right?
The Whirlpool Espresso Maker Refrigerator is coming to the UK in 2008.

Hayden Quinn's South African cooking adventure
With his boyish good looks and cheerful demeanour, Australian celebrity chef Hayden Quinn is sure to charm his way into South African hearts as a new 13-episode cooking show, Hayden Quinn South Africa, is aired over the next three months.
Quinn, who is a cook, marine biologist and an adventurer, signed up for the show, which is aimed at showcasing sustainable food projects around the country, in partnership with WWF South Africa and Woolworths.
The first episode featured Hayden Quinn learning to make bobotie (spiced minced meat baked with an egg topping) in the Bo-Kaap with cookery school pioneer Zainie Misbach and visiting the Oranjezicht City Farm. After that, he headed for the top of Table Mountain to prepare yellowtail crudo, thinly sliced fish with an acidic dressing that doesn't require any heat, as flames on the mountain are a no-no.
At an event before the airing of the first show, we asked him about his South African adventure during which he travelled some 10 000km over a period of seven weeks, with an extra five days spent in Lesotho. All well in line with his mantra: 'Live life, eat well, travel far'.
This is what he had to say ...
Favourite place?
Knysna (although he added that his answer does change every time he's asked).
'It reminded me of Shoal Bay (in New South Wales in Australia) and took me back to my childhood holidays. We stayed on Thesen Island, ate oysters, went surfing ... The lagoon is beautiful and if you get out to the Heads, it's wild and woolly.'
Most difficult location to film in?
Prieska threw a few curveballs at the film crew. This was the spot that Quinn went to learn how to make a proper lamb potjie (stew made in a cast-iron pot) from a local farmer.
'We stayed in an old farmhouse with 11 people and one toilet that would only flush with a bucket. While we were filming, a thunderstorm came up, we were flooded out and a windpomp (wind pump) blew over. It's isolated, like the Outback, with red dirt, small plants and sparse animal life.'
(Tip: tune into episode six to watch this part of the adventure.)
Best surf spot?
In an earlier life, Quinn worked as a lifeguard and remains a keen surfer, so it's no wonder that he tried to squeeze in some time on the waves while doing his epic tour of the country. Surfers will be interested to hear he loved the right-hand break at Vic Bay, near George, which reminded him of a similar surf spot back home called Dee Why Point near Sydney.
'Vic Bay surprised me. When we first got there there were just tiny little waves with a few grommets (surfer speak for 'juniors') in the water. I was disappointed. Then all of a sudden the kids came in, we went out and the waves got huge.'
Favourite city?
'I love Cape Town. It's so cosmopolitan and yet it is an African city. It's got surf, scenery, lovely restaurants and beautiful people.'
If you want to follow Hayden Quinn's adventures around South Africa, tune in to SABC 3 at 9.30pm on Monday nights, or 5pm on Sundays for the repeat shows (starting 27 July). You can also follow the conversation on the hashtag #HQSA.

Omron HEM-780 Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor with ComFit Cuff
3 Recommendations
JSwerer's recommendation
This Omron HEM-780 is one of the most accurate and easy to use blood pressure cuffs and is FDA approved. It is a simple one button operation. The automatic cuff inflates to the ideal level, and the multiple cuff adjustments make it easy to position just above the elbow. The cuff fits arms 9-17" in circumference. The LARGE, lite, easy to read digital display shows Blood Pressure and Pulse.

jud's recommendation
I bought this product for my grandmother. She has high blood pressure and stroke. This product is very useful compare with the manual version that she had before.I love the cuff that custom fit and big screen ,so she can see it easily or my aunt will see for her.It can record 200 measurement so it 's great .She take her high blood pressure medication everyday so this information is useful for her doctor to evaluate her blood pressure.Thank you amazon that I can buy it in great price and quick delivery.
KathrynWoods's recommendation
My doctor recommended that I buy the Omron HEM-780 and check my BP daily. The unit takes the average of 3 BP readings and does it in about 3 minutes. I actually took my unit into the doctor's office and we did side-by-side comparisons and the Omron was just as accurate as my doctor. I started a website to spread the word http://omron-hem-780-automatic-blood-pressure-monitor.fornewideas.com

Wrestling to Compete in Tri-Match in Chattanooga
Live Stats and Video Feed through GoMocs.com
Liberty wrestling will make its first trip to Chattanooga, Tenn., this weekend, where they will face off with Chattanooga as well as Cumberland in a tri-match on Sunday afternoon in Chattanooga's McKenzie Arena.
Liberty is coming off of a successful opening weekend, posting a 3-1 record at the Terrapin Duals in College Park, Md. The Flames defeated the host, Maryland (21-17), as well as McDaniel (30-9) and Johns Hopkins (35-9). Their lone loss came at the hands of West Virginia (24-12).
The upper weight classes proved to be a strength for the Flames, as Aaron Kelley (184 pounds), Aaron Thompson (197 pounds) and Josh Pelletier (HWT) led the way for Liberty, compiling a combined 9-2 record in their bouts.
Kelley, who returns to action for Liberty after redshirting last season, posted a 3-1 record. After dropping an 11-4 decision to West Virginia's Matt Ryan, Kelley earned a 13-2 major decision over McDaniel's Scott Forrester, a 7-3 decision over Maryland's Alex Pagnotta and a 16-0 technical fall victory over Ben Finelli of Johns Hopkins.
Thompson's 3-1 mark also came despite dropping his opening match by way of a 9-0 major decision from Kyle Rooney of West Virginia. Thompson then claimed back-to-back decision wins over Will Yeo (3-1) of McDaniel, and Christian Boley (6-2) of Maryland before pinning Reid Mosquera of Johns Hopkins in just 1:39.
Redshirt senior Josh Pelletier anchored the Flames at heavyweight by producing a 3-0 record on the day. Pelletier earned a 4-0 decision over Phillip Mandzik of West Virginia, an injury default over Maryland's Spencer Meyers and wrapped up the day by pinning Rick Danilkowicz of Johns Hopkins in 2:54.
At 174 pounds, freshmen were able to make impressive debuts for the Flames, going 3-1 with each victory coming by fall. Kirtland, Ohio native Royal Brettrager II tallied two pins on the day, defeating West Virginia's Matt Weston 1:22 into the bout, and Johns Hopkins' Patrick Stanley in 1:28. Marcus Nielson of St. Frederick, Md., claimed the third pin at the weight class, defeating Brad Thomas of McDaniel only 1:08 into the match.
Liberty and Chattanooga will match up for the second time in the programs' history. The first meeting took place last season, when the Mocs and Flames squared off at the Hoosier Duals in Bloomington, Ind. Chattanooga came away with the 25-14 win.
Chattanooga (0-1) is coming off a full opening weekend, as they started with a dual match against Kent State, who is ranked inside the Top 25 in various national rankings, and finished by competing in the Hokie Open.
Cody Cleveland (141 pounds) and Jason McCrosky (184 pounds) highlight the Mocs roster, with each being ranked in the NWCA's latest rankings. Cleveland ranks No. 6, while McCroskey holds the No. 19 spot.
In Chattanooga's opening dual against Kent State, Cleveland recorded a pin (5:22) over Chase Skonieczny to open the season, while McCroskey picked up a 4-3 decision over Casey Newburg. Despite their victories, Kent State picked up the dual win, 24-12.
In the Hokie Open, three Mocs were able to place in the top five of the event.
McCroskey produced a 4-1 record, including a 4-2 decision over UNC Greensboro's 17th-ranked Andrew Saunders, to place third at 184 pounds.
Sophomores Josh Condon (157 pounds) and Niko Brown (197 pounds) ended the day with fifth-place finishes for the Mocs. Brown's lone loss of the day came to No. 16 Eric Schuth of Ohio.
The Flames' dual with Cumberland will mark the first meeting with the NAIA program. Located in Lebanon, Tenn., the Bulldogs are led by head coach Jared Swint, who is in his eighth season.
In the NAIA's preseason coaches poll, Cumberland was ranked No. 5, and has seven grapplers ranked inside the top 10. Michael Davis holds the highest ranking, being No. 1 at 141 pounds. Corey Bleaken is ranked No. 3 at 165 pounds, while Noah Hunt (125 pounds), James Casadaban (174 pounds) and Byron Stewart (HWT) each have a No. 5 ranking. Matthew Stanfield (133 pounds) and David Wiese (157 pounds) round out the Bulldogs ranked wrestlers, holding No. 8 and 9 rankings in their respective weight classes.
Three of the ranked Bulldogs are All-Americans. Bleaken is a two-time All-American at 149 pounds, with a third place finish in 2007 and a seventh place finish in 2009. Teammates Casadaban (157 pounds) and Davis (141 pounds) earned the honors last year, finishing second and third at their respective weights at the national tournament.
LibertyFlames.com will provide live coverage from Chattanooga's McKenzie Arena on Sunday via the LibertyFlames Twitter page. The Flames begin by facing Chattanooga at 2:00 p.m., and the match with Cumberland will immediately follow.

Exercise in cancer recovery: An overview of the evidence
Hayes, Sandra C. & Newman, Beth M. (2006) Exercise in cancer recovery: An overview of the evidence. Cancer Forum, 30(1), pp. 13-17.
With survival prospects following cancer diagnosis improving, more attention is being placed on the need for effective rehabilitation strategies. One strategy with the potential to positively influence the psychosocial as well as physical and functional status of patients with cancer is exercise. Increasing scientific evidence is available to support that participating in exercise during and following treatment for cancer, in particular breast cancer, is associated with improvements in psychosocial and physical outcomes. Although the exercise prescriptive characteristics have differed between investigations, the general recommended exercise prescription is of moderate-intensity, regular frequency (3-5 times/week) for 20-30 minutes per session. To ensure translation of research knowledge into clinical practice, future research must begin to evaluate how best to integrate exercise rehabilitation into the routine clinical care of cancer patients.

Printing PDF Line Weight ProblemMahir Abrahim Apr 15, 2009 10:18 PM (in response to 1-AMEGPK)Are you set to print in black and white or grayscale? Sometimes one looks better over the other. Also, printing to PDF is not the same as Save As PDF. If printing to PDF make sure you have your page size set to something appropriate. For example, whether you print to D size or A size the view will look the same size if using the Scale to Fit page setup option. However, if you use a larger page size a given line thickness will look fainter than the same thickness with a smaller page size.
Printing PDF Line Weight Problem1-AMEGPK Apr 16, 2009 11:28 AM (in response to Mahir Abrahim)I'm printing in grayscale/color. I need the PDF's in color. The drawing is on a 24" x 36" sheet format. I'm printing at 100% scale and high quality. I also have the custom page size of 24" x 36"

Re: Printing PDF Line Weight ProblemCynthia Berend Apr 8, 2010 10:43 AM (in response to 1-AMEGPK)
I have been struggling with too thick lines on pdf prints from SW 2010, Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. (Vista Ultimate 64x) All of the small detail is lost. I tried changing all sort of settings for the output quality and nothing made any difference. Saving as pdf directly from SW gave the same thick line results. All of the drawing line thicknesses in SW options are set to thin, .007".
I finally found a solution:
There is a setting in Adobe Reader - View > Line Weights (ctl-5). When this is unchecked the thin drawing lines are correct and detail is restored. Unfortunately, "line weight on" is the default.
I would prefer to have a fix that guarantees the line weight setting is turned off when people view my pdfs but for now I always include instructions to uncheck View > Line Weights.

Theatres in Sheffield
Sheffield has three theatres in one place, clustered around the old Lyceum theatre building which has been lovingly restored to grandeur with proscenium arches and a beautifully decorated exterior.
The Crucible Theatre is well known perhaps for the World Snooker championships which are televised from there every year, and is a modernist theatre built in the 1960s at a time when theatre in Sheffield was at its lowest ebb. The other theatre clearly visible from the pedestrian access at the end of the Winter Gardens is the Library Theatre, a space for hire from the Sheffield Council and the third theatre to be run by the Sheffield Three Theatres group is the Studio Theatre, a small space designed for innovation and development of new plays.
What kind of shows can you see in Sheffield? Well there are usually a variety of shows on offer which can include modern plays, dance, touring versions of London West End musicals, children's shows, one-off specials and long running favourites. People in Yorkshire come to Sheffield for the cultural activities in its compact city centre as well as to enjoy the large number of cafes restaurants and bars which are constantly shifting around. There is a particularly good range of east Asian restaurants clustered together with Japanese and Vietnamese now represented as well as the more usual Chinese and Thai.
Yorkshire Theatre Breaks
Yorkshire theatregoers also have the choice of going to Leeds, Bradford, York and other towns in the region to see plays and musicals so there is usually an opportunity even for regular attendees to see something new in one place or another at any time of year without leaving the county but some will also want to go down to London and see a West End show at least once a year, as part of a theatre break with the Hotel and possibly London travel included. It has been suggested that there may be two different types of Yorkshire people, the ones that like to stay in Yorkshire to see a play at a local theatre, just as a regular night out because they are interested in Art and performance, they follow a local theatre group or they like to socialise with other people they know who regularly go to the theatre, that's one group – and then the ones who like to get a group together and go to London for a weekend out on the town, to paint the West End red and visit the clubs, bars and shops with a good old fashioned West End Musical thrown in. The reality of course, is much more nuanced with an overlapping section who fit into both groups at different times and also a large number of statistical outliers who would shudder at the thought of being pigeonholed into one demographic or another.
London Theatre Breaks from Sheffield and Yorkshire
When Yorkshire people in general and from Sheffield in particular do decide to go down to London then it isn't that big of a deal these days. There are, I think, about thirty one trains from Sheffield to London St Pancras every day and the journey can be as short as just over two hours. There are also regular Coach breaks to London theatre weekends with pickup points including Barnsley, Bradford, Bridlington, Chesterfield, Cleethorpes, Clitheroe, Corby, Darlington, Derby, Doncaster, Grimsby, Harrogate, Huddersfield, Hull, Leeds, Long Eaton, Rotherham, Scarborough, Scunthorpe, SHEFFIELD, Wakefield, Whitby, Worksop and York.

Section 1: Advising in the Context of the Texas Tech Plan
National Advising Guidelines
On the national level, increasing interest in improving the quality of academic advising at America's educational institutions has motivated extensive research. The National Academic Advising Association (NACADA) has published the following standards and guidelines for academic advising that represents over six years of effort by several hundred professionals in higher education:
The primary purpose of an academic advising program is to assist students in the development of meaningful educational plans that are compatible with their life goals. Academic advising should be viewed as a continuous process of clarification and evaluation.
The ultimate responsibility for making informed decisions about life goals and educational plans rests with the individual student. The academic advisor assists by helping to identify and assess alternatives and consequences of decisions.
Institutional goals for academic advising should include:
- Clarification of life and career goals
- Development of suitable educational plans
- Selection of appropriate courses and other educational experiences
- Interpretation of institutional requirements
- Increasing student awareness of educational resources available
- Evaluation of student progress toward established goals
- Development of decision-making skills
- Reinforcement of student direction
- Collecting and distributing student data regarding student needs, preferences, and performance for use in institutional policy-making
The National Academic Advising Association's "Statement of Core Values of Academic Advising" is included in this Handbook's appendix.
At Texas Tech, the Plan results in educational experiences that are usually different for each student, so advising needs to be specifically tailored for the individual. This adds a new level of complexity and responsibility for the advisor.

"Violence Against Women Around the World: Trends, Challenges, and Solutions" by Professor Rashida Manjoo, UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women, its causes and consequences
Based on media reports, it appears that sexual violence against women is increasing around the world, particularly in India and Egypt. Are the rates increasing or just the reporting of the crimes? Governments and advocates around the world have been working on eradicating gender-based violence, including domestic violence and violence in prisons, for decades. What are the challenges and successes that remain? Professor Manjoo is an independent expert appointed by the Human Rights Council to examine and report back on a country situation or a specific human rights theme. As part of her work, Professor Manjoo conducts official missions to countries to investigate and issues recommendations to countries in an effort to address violence against women. Since her mandate began in 2009, she has conducted missions to India, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Somalia, Jordan, Zambia, the United States of America, El Salvador, Kyrgyzstan, Algeria, and Italy.
Open to the public, but seats are limited. Reception to follow.

Let go over the cliff
If the Mayan calendar is right that the world ends in 2012, it
might starts as we go over the cliff. But then anyone that says they know the
end of world is wrong. I say this because Jesus himself said that no one will
know the day or the time when the world will end.
Then again I want us to go over the cliff for these reasons:
first of all we have seen this congress work. All they do is build a ticking
time bomb on things they can fix; all for the purpose of politics. I don't want
any deal strike anytime now, as you can see the deal they strike now will come
back to bite us just like this cliff they build. Beside the cliff will keep us
on the path to fixing the nation's problem, since no side right now is willing
to put things on the table, things that the cliff will help with.
I know many say what if we go to another recession? And I say why should we keep kicking the can,
which is going to create a more serious problem and a collapse of the greatest
nation on earth (in some things I mean or this statement will be false). So I say
let's go off!!! Sad New Year to you all.
