Once the weather starts getting colder here in Austin — and by cold, I mean 60 degrees — nothing makes me feel as seasonally appropriate as a mug full of Chai tea. Warm spices like nutmeg and cardamom are just about all I need to channel Rosemary Clooney while living in such a warm locale. For those of you who might miss a little snow in your December, drink some chai and you'll see what I mean. It's like wearing your favorite mittens and you won't even break a sweat!
With Chai tea, each spice adds a subtle flavor change, so steeping your own Chai can be a little tricky. An easier alternative is to use a Chai concentrate and I suggest checking out Third Street Chai's Festivus flavor. Sold only during the holiday season, Festivus is micro-brewed with freshly milled organic spices, Fair Trade black tea and real cocoa. All it takes to prepare is a little shaking, a little warming and a little mixing with equal parts milk (or if you are like me, milk substitute). Spicy, cozy and delicious... puts me in a wassailing state of mind (or better yet, readies me for feats of strength).
Yes, for those of you who are curious, the Festivus name IS a nod to Seinfeld fans the world over!
Even better, Third Street Chai is a Whole Foods Market® Local Producer Loan Program loan recipient and one of the program's many fantastic partners with great success stories. Third Street Chai opened their doors in Boulder, Colorado in 1995. At the time, chai was still relatively unknown in the US, but Third Street's tea blends quickly gained a following in their hometown. It wasn't long until Whole Foods Market put them on their shelves in Boulder and the rest of the Rocky Mountain region.
From its infancy to present day, Third Street Chai has been dedicated to environmental responsibility, Fair Trade sourcing and organics — they were the first Fair Trade Certified Chai AND the First Organic Certified Chai in the World — which is something we at Whole Foods Market are always excited to champion.
In 2011, Third Street received the Whole Foods Market Local Producer Loan Program funds to build a bigger facility to keep up with their burgeoning popularity. Now Third Street can be found in all our US stores.
And for all of you Seinfeld fans, look closely on the bottle for all sorts of secret messages depicting some of your favorite episodes. It's a Festivus miracle!

After Anne Martin, director of the Aboriginal Educational Program at the University of NSW, added a dolphin dreaming, Butler drove into the bush with a view to using Gipsy as a message stick and production vehicle for a documentary retelling 50,000 years of Aboriginal history.
Artists from Aboriginal communities all over the country painted the car, transforming it dot by dot into a surface dense with stories and spiritual meanings.
Butler had grown up in Brisbane and remembers his mother as racist. He says that, as a boy of 13, he was beaten up by a mob of Aborigines. "I could have hated Aboriginality for the rest of my life," he says. "Instead, that experience turned me to understand compassion. I always lived according to white man's law. After that I wanted to understand black man's law."
His effort of understanding took Gipsy to Port Douglas, Cairns, Darwin, Perth, Noosa and back to Central Australia.
Students at Wangatti School, on the way to Port Douglas, painted the symbols of the traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander warriors, both surrounded by the rainbow serpent.
In Cairns, David Hudson painted his own and his daughter's hands and Butler's and White's hands in yellow, red, white and black, representing the world's different peoples.
In Arnhem Land, Michael Gosm painted his totem, the crocodile, on Gipsy's bonnet. In Gove, Djalu Gurruwiwi, of the Yolgnu people, told Butler how he was custodian of the didgeridoo and responsible for passing it to the next generation. Mickey Mullawy, an elder of Arnhem Bay, painted his totem, a shark. In Broome, David Numintjarra painted the Wandjina man, the supreme spirit being. Butler later drove Gipsy to the Yaparrinya Festival in Central Australia.
The night Walangari painted the last dot and Butler finished filming his documentary, One Man's Journey, the twin towers in Manhattan were falling down. It was September 11, 2001.
"Our life is what we make of it and my life has brought me to meet people and go to places I would never have dreamed of," Butler says. "The car was born from a moment of pure intent: a dream. Some would say that I was the son of a songline of Aboriginal culture, some that my journey is part of the Dreamtime. Some asked me why. I think there is not an answer in life but the journey is the destination."

Emerging details of the plans for the streamed funeral are being leaked just a day before the family lays Whitney Houston's body to rest.
The Bodyguard co-star and estranged friend, Kevin Costner, is just one of many people said to be attending the funeral of late singer Whitney Houston. It is now said that Costner will be speaking at Houston's funeral at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, NJ where the singer was born.
The ceremony will also host a number of performances from Houston's close friends, including singer Stevie Wonder, and Godmother to Whitney, Aretha Franklin. As previously reported, ex-husband Bobby Brown will indeed attend the funeral but will not perform. Instead, he plans on performing with his group New Edition that evening who were touring at the time of Whitney's death. Brown will rejoin New Edition Thursday night for a performance in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, according to a New Edition publicist.
Gospel singer and friend of Whitney Houston Marvin Winans will be giving her eulogy, and had the following to say to CNN anchor Anderson Cooper about the media coverage of the singer's death and past tumultuous struggle with addiction.
"Since her death we're fighting off news agencies simply because they don't understand that we lost a sister. This isn't a break or opportunity, we are really hurting and seriously grieving. It amazes me the insensitivity in the media when it comes to things like this. It's someone that was there and now you can no longer speak to them. Maybe you didn't tell them that you loved them. Maybe you would have done things differently…you have to reconcile all those things in yourself. "
Whitney Houston,48, passed away at the Beverly Hills Hotel on the eve of the Grammys. Sources have reported that she was found by her entourage unconscious in a bathtub.

Heavenly Father, please help my marriage. It's in such great trouble. I know I've not always treated her the way she deserved and it's hurt her emotionally. I hate that I've done that. I hate myself so much for that. But she's hurt me over the years too and isn't taking responsibility for that. She says she's done forever. She's running instead of trying to work on this together. I can't give up on 20 years together. My heart won't let me. I pray, Lord, that you can reach into her heart and mind and help her see what she's doing. Help her see that divorce won't solve her problems in the end. Help us work together, Lord, to come back together as husband and wife. I feel so desperate. I love her as much as I ever have and more. I pray that she'll give our marriage another chance. I pray that she'll stop running from her problems. Help us in our counseling to reconcile. I pray for these things in your name, amen.

The spicy-sweet aroma of fresh tomatoes stewing in herbs wafted through the maze of hallways on the third floor of Frankford High School.
At the source of this enticing smell — the culinary arts classroom — 26 students crowded forward to get a closer look at visiting chef Michael Katz's chopping technique.
Normally, Katz would be in Jerusalem, overseeing a group of three gourmet restaurants. But last week, thanks to Israel's Foreign Ministry, he flew here to host a series of educational cooking programs.
Some, like a demonstration at Temple Beth Sholom in Cherry Hill, N.J., and a Chanukah dinner prepared along with top-rated Philadelphia chef Michael Solomonov, catered to Jewish foodies. But his consulate guides also booked him at places like Frankford and Kensington high schools, where Israeli cuisine was more of a distinct novelty.
The goal was to show that Israel is so much more than its conflict with the Palestinians, said Deborah Baer Mozes, director of cultural affairs for the Consulate General of Israel here.
"I get to show the other side of Israel — or the real side of Israel, as far as I'm concerned," she said.
Philadelphia's also a restaurant town, she added, "so what better place to bring a master chef?"
Frankford was included in the tour because of its reputation for the culinary arts, said Baer Mozes. The program garnered national attention after the 2009 documentary "Pressure Cooker," showed how teacher Wilma Stephenson used tough love to push her students to win a stunning number of college scholarships, year after year. Impressed by those achievements, Food Network star Rachael Ray surprised the school this spring with a makeover for its classroom kitchen and featured Stephenson's students on her television show.
On Dec. 2, all eyes were on Katz as the master chef introduced himself. Few of them had heard of the renowned Le Cordon Bleu in London, where Katz had taught, or the top American restaurants he referenced. Others didn't understand the prestige he carried from working in two- and three-star Michelin-rated restaurants.
But they all seemed to recognize that Katz knew what he was talking about. They leaned forward, watching quietly for more than three hours as Katz led them through the preparation of a chicken dish accompanied by a cucumber salad and ice-cream-filled crepe.
"Start with the things that might go wrong," Katz said, pouring milk for crepe dough into a measuring cup.
"Why?" he quizzed the crowd.
"If it doesn't work, you can make another one," a student in the front piped up.
Katz nodded, smiling.
"There's no stress in the kitchen, there's challenges," he said. "Once you take out the word stress, it's easy."
He demonstrated how to chop herbs, four ways to slice a cucumber and tricks to plate a classic French chicken dish so that it looks like a restaurant entree.
"Nice!" one girl exclaimed as Katz drizzled the tomato sauce around chicken slices delicately fanned over a yogurt salad.
The nonkosher menu was devoid of references to Jewish or Israeli cuisine. Katz said he purposefully modified the demonstration to show the students skills they would have to perform later this year at their high-stakes cooking competition.
After hours of waiting, the students wasted no time sampling the finished products.
Latifah Dollard, 16, stared off into the distance as she slowly chewed a bite of chicken. She'd never tasted flavors like that before, she said.
"It's sweet and it's juicy and then it's salty," said Dollard, a sophomore.
Stephenson said it was one of the best demonstrations she's hosted in 12 years of teaching culinary arts. Just the fact that Katz would come here, she said, was "mind-boggling."
Katz rounded out his week with a lecture on Israeli cooking at the University of Pennsylvania Hillel, the Chanukah dinner at Solomonov's restaurant Zahav and a hands-on class with chefs-in-training at the Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College.
Katz said he was glad to be able to use food to connect with people from diverse backgrounds.
"They always hear about Israel as guns and wars and conflict," he said. "Even if they don't remember the exact connection with Israel, they remember something good from Israel."

Labrador may never be able to separate from Newfoundland, but suddenly the reverse has become a possibility: thanks to the province's electricity industry Newfoundlanders might soon want to separate from Labrador.
It started almost a year ago when Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro (a wholly-owned Nalcor subsidiary, as it says) announced that in order to fund $39-million worth of industrial expansion in Labrador (justification that has since disappeared and been replaced by the need to pay down a deficit and to help subsidize remote communities) the utility wanted to start charging its Labrador customers substantially more on their monthly bills, while simultaneously lowering electricity costs for Newfoundlanders.
The rate increases were not unexpected. Since the provincial government has been pouring all available (and unavailable) funds into the construction of a dam on Labrador's Churchill River, there's nothing left in the public coffers to pay for maintenance, repairs, or upgrades on public facilities and services — including the electrical grid. Since the government is already borrowing to pay for day-to-day operating expenses, the money for Hydro has to come from elsewhere. In 2013 Hydro reasoned it should all come from Labrador and proposed to the Public Utilities Board that Labradorians should pay about 25 per cent more for electricity — bringing the cost up to five cents per kilowatt hour if they live on the grid and up to eight cents if they live in a coastal community.
Not well received
The proposal was not well received in Labrador. Reaction has been overwhelmingly negative. Labradorians of all stripes and position (politicians, business people, homeowners) have denounced the increase whenever they could, but with little expectation that anyone would heed their opposition. Imagine everyone's surprise, then, when Hydro completely changed its mind and sent a new proposal to the PUB. The utility now wants to let Labradorians off the hook and make Newfoundlanders pay more instead. This is clearly a violation of the natural order. Colonies exist to enrich the colonizers, not to become a drain on the public purse. Resources and the benefits that come from exploiting them are meant to flow in one direction: from the subject territory to the capital, not the other way around.
Labrador's hydroelectric potential, nickel, iron ore, fish and lumber are there for the island's benefit. The minute the money seems to flow the other way, from the pockets of Newfoundlanders to the pockets of Labradorians, is the minute when Newfoundlanders are bound to reassess how the province's finances are managed. That minute wasn't supposed to happen for another four or five years, when Nalcor's multi-billion-dollar bill comes due. The fact that islanders will suffer the rate increase right away for something that doesn't seem to benefit them can only result in Newfoundlanders becoming even more irate than Labradorians have been all year.
Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro couldn't have found a better way than this sudden about-face to make the province's sorry political state even sorrier. Some Newfoundlanders will certainly blame Labradorians — and demand the increases go back to them — but they'll also blame Hydro and with more cause. Furthermore, once they start receiving their higher bills Newfoundlanders will be getting a monthly reminder that because of Nalcor, those bills will keep going up forever.
Unfortunately, since no one in power is listening it's pointless to point out that the government could still solve its energy and financial problems by cancelling the Muskrat Falls project. If the millions Nalcor spends daily on this single generating facility were reallocated to develop small-scale renewable systems all over the province, every remote community on the coast would probably be able to shut off their diesel generators within two years. Plus, decentralization would protect islanders from extended blackouts in a way that a solitary dam in a faraway location and a single transmission line to bring the power all the way to the island simply cannot. In fact, the Lower Churchill Hydroelectric Project practically guarantees them annual outages in exchange for hefty annual rate increases.
So now Labrador is not only costing island residents more money, but the Big Land is likely to periodically leave Newfoundlanders freezing in the dark. With that in mind, how could they not want to separate?

Dan Morales, a former Democratic candidate for governor, turned his back on his party's nominee and endorsed Gov. Rick Perry, a Republican, in his bid for a full term in office. ''My love for Texas demands that I place politics and partisanship aside in favor of supporting the candidate in this campaign whose election would clearly be in the best interest of Texas,'' said Mr. Morales, a former state attorney general who lost the Democratic primary in March to Tony Sanchez, a Laredo businessman. The Sanchez campaign brushed off the endorsement, saying ''Dan is irrelevant to this race.''Continue reading the main story

Published: September 30, 2006 at 7:00 AMIt will be better. Opening weekend is notoriously scarce on the scareactors and thrills. In the coming weeks, as things get busier, you will see more things going on. The ratlady will return, so will the chainsaw drill team, and ROBOSAURUS.....but on busier peak nights. I'm going in two weeks, so I cant wait to see what they have going on then. I'm also going to HOS tonight. Make sure to check out ioacentralradio.libsyn.com for a HHN spectacular including interviews with TJ Mannarino, Midnight Syndicate and more.. Also next week I'll have a live report from HOS.
Published: September 30, 2006 at 7:16 AMI went there for about 3 hours last night and I was disappointed.
The house that sounded the most fun to us based on all of the information that we had read was "The People Under The Stairs." Supposedly you were divided into groups and one person would be randomly designated the "leader" and this person would lead the group to try to find the way out of the house.
So we waited in line and what do you know, I was randomly selected as the "leader" and given one of those helmets with a light. As we entered the house we saw that we were not in any kind of group, everyone was in a single file line like in any other haunted house with someone wearing a helmet approximately every 10 people. The house was not a maze or anything, you just followed the path like any other haunted house.
It got to the point that I even thought the helmet light was an annoyance since I would look somewhere and the light would of course shine in that direction and it would often "reveal" one of the actors ruining their hiding place. Finally I just took my helmet off and covered the light with my hand. Then it was a tad darker and people got a few better scares.
The "Dungeon of Terror" involved actors just standing around and staring at you. I didn't get it.
The Halloween 360 show was about 10 minutes, mostly a collection of movie clips with a couple randomly shot fireworks and people didn't even know when it was over. Everyone stood there and I kept hearing "that was it?"
The scare zones were pretty decent, but short. There was so much wasted space all over the park.
We ended up leaving hoping that they'll improve it. We have the Frequent Fear Pass so we didn't feel we had to do every haunted house that night. We'll return and hopefully have a better time.
Published: September 30, 2006 at 4:21 PMThanks for making this a Blug Flume Robert.
I would like to add that Bill & Ted was "Excellent" (Queue Guitar rift). Nice little video before the show with previous years clips.
This for me was the highlight of the evening.
Superb acting, sexy women, great spoofs and Tom "I love her Oprah" Cruise. Well worth the mad rush to grab a seat.
Anyway, back there tonight so any changes will be reported right here, at themeparkinsider.com
Published: September 30, 2006 at 10:43 PMWell, I've never been to Florida and probably won't in the near future so I can only hope the USH version is better.
Published: October 1, 2006 at 9:01 AMOh no, I dont want to hear that... this year looks like its supposed to be so good. Last year was good but not as good as the year before (HHN 14) I hope this is just universal getting the kinks out and seeing what works and what doesnt. my crew and i will be heading out on the 20th so hopefully it shapes up by then. We always have a good time when we go but let's hope they turn the lights off when we go and give us a chance to get scared... well, only time will tell.
Published: October 1, 2006 at 8:47 PMJust wanted to share a few comments about the opening weekend. We did Friday and Saturday night. Overall, I would say it was above average, but not spectacular. First,we were routed to the left down Rodeo Drive. Everyone had to go that way. I am sure it's to control the crowds. Unfortunately, we didn't want to go that way Saturday night because we had done all four
I would rate Psychoscareapy as the best, but we missed its debut a few years back so it was all new for us. In fact, it seemed that the three houses we did on Saturday were just far better than the four we did Friday. In People Under the Stairs, I was the lucky guy in our group to wear the lighted hard hat. And I have to say they actually adjusted it to fit my head like a vice. I found it quite amusing considering I am 6'2 and I had to stoop down to get the guy to put it on my head. The scarezones were adequate (liked the Harvest of Souls the best), the Bill and Ted Show was quite funny and Sweet 16: The Director's Cut Lagoon show...well, let's just say I could take it or leave it.
We did enjoy the event and had fun but I liked last year's much more. I think Universal,not IOA, is the place for HHN but the Festival of the Dead Parade was sorely missed.
The one truly surprising thing we noticed was the staggering number of people with Express Passes. For the past three years we've bought them we've never had to wait at all; we just walked right up and went in. Of course we have always gone mid-October and paid premium price for them, so that may have something to do with it. We did not buy them this year and I am glad because it was quite a shock to see the length of the lines for Express holders. Granted, they were getting to the houses faster than us, but they were waiting far longer than I would have liked and we overheard some who seemed a bit peeved about it.
Overall, we had a couple of fun nights and I know it was opening weekend but I have to say I don't like the "working out the kinks" defense that I read about when the event seems to be lacking. Universal has had 15 years to perfect HHN and I know it's different each year but whether it's opening night or Halloween, the experience should be the same. It just did not seem to be as inspired as it has been in past years.
Of course this is all just opinion and I will be interested to see how others rate their experience. Hope everyone has a great time and gets some good jolts.
Published: October 2, 2006 at 5:14 PMhi there--
just wanted to add my two cents about HHN16. I have been going for the past 5 years and was recently there Friday and Saturday night. Overall I think that they did a nice job of mixing up the past with the present and it brought back some good memories. Bill and Ted show was excellent as usual. I thought that Psychoscareapy and All Nite Die-in were by far the best. A little dissapointed in the scare zones--especially deadtropolis. Harvest of the Souls was really creative and had good atmosphere. The Arrival area really left me wanting more. I had the Express pass and didn't seem to wait that long --at best maybe 10 minutes. The chainsaw brigade was there and the rat lady in the casket roamed through near MIB, accompanied by a "dead man band". The Directors cut was interesting but I also agree that I was left saying to my frineds "That was it?". I did enjoy myself as I always do but feel that the atmosphere at IOA is better. It was pretty packed so even though having it in both parks seems like you walk forever it really spreads the crowds out and makes the scare zones not seem like you are a shooping cart line at WalMart 'shudder'. Anyway---hope you all have a great time--enjoy the moment!!

Ms. Chapman, called "90-60-90" by Russian press (referring to her alleged measurements) registered her name as a trademark for eight lines of merchandise including: cosmetics, vodka, clothing, watches and juices — there are also suspicions that she might follow in
's footsteps and release a doll.
"If you speak of legendary spies there is the registered name 'Mata Hari.' Although Anna Chapman doesn't measure up to Mata Hari, a commercial value has nonetheless appeared and she wants to get some material profit from this," Baker & McKenzie partner Evgeny Ariyevich told RBC,

Mission Statement
For over a decade a small group of like minded people, primarily based in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, has been quietly working toward their goal to re-create one of Doncaster 'Plant' Works' greatest locomotives, the LNER P2 Class 'Cock O' The North'. This was originally built in 1934 and designed under the direction of Sir Nigel Gresley.
Such a project has to be deliverable and data driven. Therefore our initial plan to build the locomotive as it originally appeared in experimental form could not be pursued as it would not have been reliable and would have required constant maintenance and replacement of expensive parts.
The donations of our supporters have to be invested wisely and as an organisation our engineering competence and ability would have been questionable - trying to make good a design that was flawed.
So the decision was made a few years ago to build the locomotive as remodeled in 1938, when it was fitted with Gresley motion, Walchaerts valve gear and the streamlined A4-style 'Bugatti' front end, as were the other members of the same class. This was the same conclusion reached by Sir Nigel Gresley himself!
Now is the time we announce to the world at large, that the main frames are about to be ordered and shortly will go on public display at one of the best known premier railway preservation centres in the UK.
Before the end of 2013, the recreation of this iconic and much written about locomotive, will exist in the form of the main frames and to achieve completion we need your help.
The Doncaster P2 Locomotive Trust is a registered educational charity. No member of the management team takes a salary, so your money goes to where it should - building the locomotive. The management committee does not seek celebrity, reward or self-promotion by involvement in this project, they merely want to enjoy the pure pleasure of seeing 'Cock O' The North' steam into a station near you one day.
Help make this possible by supporting us and bring back 'Doncaster's Lost Locomotive' to re-create a legend.

"Very user-friendly"
"Recipe developers Steen (500 Vegan Recipes) and Noyes (Grills Gone Vegan) present a new collection of vegan and often gluten-free recipes that can be served as snacks or small plates. Like Teri Lyn Fisher and Jenny Park's Tiny Food Party!, this cookbook is visually appealing and filled with clever presentation and menu ideas. Baked jalapeños and buffalo tofu bites are so indulgent it's easy to forget they contain ingredients like arrowroot powder and nutritional yeast. VERDICT Vegans and vegetarians will embrace these party-friendly recipes. Meat eaters will, too, but they may need convincing to accept baked marinated mushroom slices as "bacon." - Library Journal

Is it possible for an indent from a kenalog injection fill in too much? That is what happened to me. Now the area is raised and looks like a lump. It has been over a 3 years. I had the injection to remove Artefill overfill. When the indent occured it looked like the Artefill was gone. When the indent filled back in, it stil looked raised. It because of there is still some Artefill?
Kenalog Injection Site is Now Raised?

REmoving Artefill from the lips
Kenalog cannot remove Artefill. I have had success removing Artefill from the lips and this procedure can provide longterm improvement.

Persistent lump after kenalog injection to treat artefill over fill
Kenalog can decrease any swelling, inflammation or can cause soft tissue atrophy where injected. That may have decreased the fullness from the Artefill over injection. However Artefill has permanent microspheres that stay in the tissue. Your own collagen grows around the beads which may have caused the area to plump up again. That is why it is important to never over treat with this product. The only way to remove artefill is to surgically excise it which is often not a practical or acceptable solution.
Site raised after Kenalog injection
Artefill is a permanent filler and an injection of Kenalog to a treated area would not remove it. The only method to remove Artefill would be to do so surgically. Kenalog could potentially help to reduce the amount of inflammation caused from the Artefill, but it wold not remove the Artefill.

- Registry Webcast
- Webcast Background
Webcast Background
Patient registries are observational studies that focus on understanding how the treatments, tests, and services that are used in routine clinical care and by specialists affect patient health outcomes. A registry that is appropriately designed, conducted, and analyzed will provide unique scientific information about the effectiveness, safety, and quality of the health-care service or intervention that is being studied. In recent years, the use of registries as a method for generating new scientific evidence has grown considerably. This trend is likely to continue in the future, particularly as manufacturers, regulators, and other decisionmakers seek objective information to augment what is known from clinical trials and other research studies about the harms and benefits of tests and therapies.
In response to these advancements, Registries for Evaluating Patient Outcomes: A User's Guide was updated with new information from researchers, professionals, and recent publications, as well as more in-depth discussions of some topics covered in the original Guide. New sections were added on emerging challenges and controversies in registry planning, design, ethics, management, analysis, and evaluation that were informed by a series of expert meetings and working papers.
This Webcast reviews the updated sections and new chapters of this 2nd edition and and includes a discussion of potential topics for future editions. The 2nd edition can be viewed and downloaded at: http://www.effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov/index.cfm/search-for-guides-reviews-and-reports/?pageaction=displayproduct&productID=531.

"Ever-faithful God, in death we are reminded of the precious birthrights of life and liberty You endowed in Your American people. You have shown once again that these gifts must never be taken for granted.
"We pledge to those whom You have called home, and ask of You — patience, to measure our lust for action; resolve, to strengthen our obligation to lead; wisdom, to illuminate our pursuit of justice, and; strength, in defense of liberty.
"We seek Your special blessing today for those who stand as sword and shield, protecting the many from the tyranny of the few. Our enduring prayer is that You shall always guide our labors and that our battles shall always be just.
"We pray this day, Heavenly Father, the prayer our nation learned at another time of righteous struggle and noble cause — America's enduring prayer: Not that God will be on our side, but always, O Lord, that America will be on Your side.
This timely prayer — still posted on the DoD website — hearkens to American "first things": to name a few, "the precious birthrights of life and liberty" that our Creator has "endowed in [His] American people"; "our pursuit of justice"; and our "defense of liberty."
First things are core values that define who we are. Second things, such as survival and money, are also very important.

Elmhurst is situated at the centre of a diverse agricultural region on the upper reaches of the Wimmera River, bounded by the Pyrenees Ranges and the southern end of the Great Dividing Range. The rural township of Elmhurst, with a population of approx 400, lies on the Pyrenees Highway approximately 35 kilometres east of Ararat and 30 kilometres west of Avoca.
Much of the hilly section of the Wimmera River near Elmhurst is covered with eucalypts, with open woodland and grassland on the drier areas.
Major Thomas Mitchell led the first group of Europeans through the Wimmera region in 1836. Graziers settled in the Wimmera over the next few decades, encouraged by Mitchell's highly favourable report on the area's suitability for stocking sheep and cattle.
Farms on the Wimmera River commonly combine cropping and livestock, producing wool, prime lambs, beef, grains, legumes and wine grapes.
The Wimmera River is the largest permanent waterway in Victoria's northwest, draining a basin of more than 4000 square kilometres. The Wimmera River does not flow to the ocean, ending instead in a series of landlocked lakes.

Billionaires bet on rising gasoline demand
Published 4:00 am, Wednesday, March 7, 2012
Number of the day
That's how many medium-range gasoline tanker ships were bought recently by two billionaires who are betting that fuel demand will rise faster than the global shipping fleet's capacity. Norwegian tycoon John Fredriksen has placed orders for 10 of the tankers, and Wilbur Ross, an American investor in distressed assets, is part of a group that bought 30 in September. As gasoline demand rises, analysts predict daily rates for the tankers will increase 19 percent to $14,844 this year.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (SPX) Jul 29, 2013
A multinational team of scientists has identified a single gene, called Shell, that regulates yield of the oil palm tree. The fruit and seeds of the oil palm are the source of nearly one-half of the supply of edible vegetable oil worldwide, and provide one of the most promising sources of biofuel.
The discovery, the product of a multiyear effort to provide a high-quality full genome map of the oil palm plant and to scour the sequence for genes of importance to both science and industry, has major implications for agriculture and the environment.
"The discovery that regulation of the Shell gene will enable breeders to boost palm oil yields by nearly one-third is excellent news for the rainforest and its champions worldwide," says Datuk Dr. Choo Yuen May, the Director General of the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB), an agency of the Malaysian federal government.
The discovery was made by researchers at the MPOB in conjunction with scientists at St. Louis-based Orion Genomics. Also lending support were scientists in New York, at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) and the American Museum of Natural History. The international team's work is detailed in two papers published online in Nature.
"The discovery of Shell indicates a clear path toward more intensive use of already planted lands, and thus should lessen pressures to expand the land area devoted to oil palm, notably onto endangered rainforest land - a major concern for the environment and a rallying point for activists in recent years," says Robert A. Martienssen, Ph.D., scientific co-founder of Orion Genomics, who is also a professor of plant genetics at CSHL.
"Mutations in Shell explain the single most important economic trait of the oil palm: how the thickness of its shell correlates to fruit size and oil yield," explains Dr. Rajinder Singh of the MPOB, first author of the Nature paper describing the Shell gene.
There are two species of oil palm, African (Elaeis guineensis) and South American (Elaeis oleifera). Together they account for 45 percent of the edible vegetable oil worldwide. Palm oil also has the best energy balance of any commercial product currently used in biofuel applications, yielding about 9 times the energy required to produce it, according to Dr. Martienssen.
The Shell gene is responsible for the oil palm's three known shell forms: dura (thick); pisifera (shell-less); and tenera (thin), a hybrid of dura and pisifera palms. Tenera palms contain one mutant and one normal version, or allele, of Shell, an optimum combination that results in 30% more oil per land area than dura palms.
How the discovery will affect plantation management and land use
Seed producers can now use the genetic marker for the Shell gene to distinguish the three fruit forms in the nursery long before they are field-planted. Currently, it can take six years to identify whether an oil palm plantlet is a high-yielding palm. Even with selective breeding, 10 to 15 percent of plants are the low-yielding dura form due to uncontrollable wind and insect pollination, particularly in plantations without stringent quality control measures.
"Accurate genotyping for enhanced oil yields will optimize and help stabilize the acreage devoted to oil palm plantations, providing an opportunity for the conservation of rainforest reserves," Martienssen explains.
The Malaysian government strongly supported the genome sequencing project for the nation's most important crop. The government halted the conversion of new forest land for agriculture, including palm oil, in the 1990s. According to the MPOB, the government has committed to preserve 50 percent of Malaysia's total land area as forest. To meet increased demand for palm oil, the government converted colonial rubber and cocoa plantations to oil palm plantations.
What the full genome sequences reveal
The researchers also created a draft sequence of the South American oil palm E. oleifera. Both palm species are in the Arecaceae family of flowering plants, which fossil evidence dates to the Cretaceous period, an estimated 140 to 200 million years ago. The investigators' comparison of the two maps enabled them to estimate that the oil palm species diverged at the old world- new world split.
"Oil palm genome sequence reveals divergence of interfertile species in Old and New worlds" and "The oil palm SHELL gene controls oil yield and encodes a homologue of SEEDSTICK" will be published online ahead of print in Nature on Wednesday, July 24, 2013. The papers can be viewed here.

SAN ANTONIO, TX–Woodbine Development Corp. is completing a $35 million expansion of the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort and Spa here, focusing on the property's function space.
The project, to be completed this summer, roughly doubles the indoor function space, triples the pre-function space and adds new outdoor function space. A highlight of this aspect of the work is a new 20,000 sq. ft. ballroom that will be divisible into eight breakout rooms, each with its own entrance.
The focus on function space is in response to requests from the property's existing group customers. According to Woodbine president & CEO John Field Scovell, the resort up to now hasn't been able to provide the amount of high quality function space its regular group customers have required.
In addition, the property upgrades include improvements to the resort's 500 guestrooms and landscaping. Also included is an expansion of the resort's water park, which has proven especially popular with families.

Only days after the national debt soared past $15 trillion, the New York Times treats its readers to the wonders of life at Westbeth, an apartment building in New York City that the paper describes as "the first federally subsidized artists' colony in the country."
It's a description that begs two questions.
The first question: The what?!
The second question: The first?! Are there more?!
Sadly, the New York Times doesn't bother to answer those questions, or even acknowledge them. This article isn't about such boring, mundane banalities as that. Oh, no. This is about the wonder of cheap apartments in an expensive part of the Big Apple, filled with all sorts of eccentric artists. It's historical and hip at the same time.
A documentary filmmaker who lives there got in thanks to a recommendation by Norman Mailer! Diane Arbus committed suicide there! Vin Diesel's parents still live there! And Hillary Swank lives nearby!
A little digging - okay, a quick trip to Wikipedia - finds that Westbeth was subsidized by the National Endowment for the Arts:
"Westbeth is among the first examples of adaptive reuse of industrial buildings for artistic and residential use in the United States. It is a complex of 13 buildings in Manhattan's West Village, comprising an entire city block ... The complex was originally the site of Bell Laboratories (1868–1966), one of the world's most important industrial research centers and home to many inventions, including the vacuum tube, the condenser microphone, an early version of television, and the transistor. The complex was vacated by Bell in the middle 1960s, and remained empty until the Westbeth project started later in the decade. Using seed money from the J.M. Kaplan Fund and help and encouragement from the National Council for the Arts (which has since become the National Endowment for the Arts), an ambitious renovation project designed to create live-work spaces for 384 artists of all disciplines. ... Westbeth opened in 1970 for artists, dancers, musicians, actors, writers and film makers. Artists of all disciplines are admitted as tenants in Westbeth after review by a committee of tenants in their discipline. They must also meet certain income requirements at the time of admission."
Judging from the article, the money the government invested in rehabbing the building appears to have paid off in terms of its positive impact on the renaissance of the surrounding neighborhood. And a building from which a slew of amazing life-changing new technologies emerged to help power the American economy for nearly a century was saved from the wrecking ball.
And it's for artists "of all disciplines," so that's fair. Though I doubt the poet laureates of Harry Reid's government-subsidized Cowboy Poetry Festival were going to be invited to apply for space at Westbeth any time soon.
Not that there are any vacancies. The waiting list was closed in 2007. The artists currently occupying Westbeth don't planning on leaving any time soon.
But, as the NYT reports, the artists weren't supposed to stay there forever.
The Times visits with Westbeth artist/resident Barton Lidice Benes, whose apartment is described as "a strange alternate universe of taxidermied animals; found objects, which he calls relics; and collages."
Benes moved to Westbeth when it opened in 1970, paying $99 a month rent. Today, he pays $640 a month - chicken feed in New York City - but he was supposed to move out by around 1975:
"His generation of artists were so grateful for cheap rent and a place to live and work that they thwarted Westbeth's original vision of being an incubator for artists for five years or so, until they were ready to fly the nest. In New York, with its perpetually overheated real estate market, Westbeth was Never Never Land, and like Peter Pan, they never left. Only unlike Peter Pan, they grew old, and many are now in their 70s and 80s."
And thus does another government program intended to give struggling folks a temporary hand up get turned into another entitlement program, perpetual subsidy for people whose career choice renders them perpetually unable to afford the lifestyle they want to live.
The NYT's description of one of Benes' collages sums it up pretty well:
"Money from around the world has been torn up, twisted and pasted into replicas of plants and flowers."

Sophomore Quarterback E.J. White leads the St. Francis attack, having put up 2,420 yards of total offense (1,791 passing and 629 rushing) while throwing for 28 TDs and running for 2. St. Francis uses a two running back tandem in Senior Garen Demery and Sophomore Anthony Hubert. Together they have run for 1,246 yards and 18 touchdowns. Hubert seems to be more of a threat to break one deep as he is averaging more than 10 yards per carry, while Demery is more the traditional workhorse getting twice as many carries and churning out 5 yards per carry. If that weren't enough, the Saints also feature a big time play maker in the receiving corps, freshman speedster Lexus Jackson. Jackson has amassed 819 yards on only 39 catches (21 yards per catch) and has scored 8 touchdowns. The Saints also have two other contributors in the passing game in Junior Desmond Page and Sophomore Elliot Allen. Page has pulled in 32 catches for 402 yards and 8 TDs while Allen has 30 catches for 420 yards and 7 TDs. Allen has also proven to be a threat in the return game after returning kickoff and punt for touchdowns earlier this year.
While St. Francis' offensive statistics alone would certainly give a defensive coach something to lose sleep over, Georgia State faithful must remember who those statistics have come against. The Saint's opponents have a combined record of 30-45 and they have faced an entirely NAIA schedule. Their only victory against a team with a winning record came against William Penn, 36-35. In that contest, St. Francis incredibly came back from a 27 point deficit to stun the Statesmen with a touchdown and 2 point conversion and take the lead with 13 seconds remaining.
Georgia State's defense has played very well the last few weeks despite frequently being put in bad situations by the Panthers' lackluster play on offense. After allowing more than 35 points for four straight weeks, the defense has improved with each outing and has done more than enough to put Georgia State in a position to win the game. Early on in the season the Panthers were gashed by teams running the ball, particularly up the middle. Over the last three games, however, the Panthers have only allowed 3.1, 3.6, and 3.3 yards per carry while facing teams which feature stout rushing attacks. The Panthers will look to continue that trend as the rushing attack GSU faces this week is very productive, but is fueled by one of the smallest offensive lines the Panthers will face all season.
The biggest difference in NAIA football and FCS football is size and speed along the offensive and defensive lines. In the Saints' two losses to Saint Xavier and Grand View the largest defenders they faced on each team were 270 and 285 pounds respectively. Most of the defenses they have faced have featured Defensive Ends in the 235-250 pound range and Defensive tackles in the 270-285 pound range. The Panthers are led by Defensive Ends Christo Bilukidi (6 foot 5, 290 pounds) and A.J. Portee (6 foot 4, 250 pounds). It is safe to say that the Saints offensive line has not faced ends of this size and caliber this season. Linebacker Jake Muasau will be key for the Panthers as he tries to use his size and speed to attack the weakest offensive that he has faced since the home opener against Clark Atlanta.
While the Panthers should have the edge at the line of scrimmage, they have to take away the big play. As previously mentioned, the St. Francis offense is capable of busting a play for a long gain at any time. The GSU secondary must stay disciplined and finish their tackles. The Saints should not be able to move the ball methodically on long drives, but if the Panthers do not play well on the back end and finish plays, then look out for the Saints to break a few long ones and keep the game competitive.

Talk about heart!
ACCESS has two board-certified cardiologists that cover six days worth of appointments and seven days of "on call" care.
Cardiology is centered on the diagnosis and management of heart diseases. The main tools that our cardiologists use are history taking, physical examinations, echocardiograms, electrocardiograms, blood pressure measurements and x-rays of the chest. The core of their "power" comes from an ultrasound of the heart called an echocardiogram. This is a great way to evaluate the anatomy and function of the heart in a non-invasive way.
Echocardiograms use sound waves through tissues to develop a high-definition picture. This picture allows us to see blood flow, as well as the structure and function of the heart. Our up-to-date ultrasound is one of the best and with one of the only veterinary 3D imaging capabilities in Southern California.
Cardiology monitors your pet's heart rate and rhythm through electrocardiography (ECG). We also have the ability to monitor your pet's heart 24 hours a day while in the hospital and even outside our front doors through telemetry. We are able to achieve this by sending your pet home with a jacket called a Holter monitor that monitors your pet's heart rate and rhythm while at home. We can then interpret the results the next day.
Our Cardiology Department definitely has heart! Rest assured there is no need for your heart to race when your pet is in our care!

Try to point toes straight ahead when walking. Put most of your weight on your heels. Hold your chest forward and elevate the front of the pelvis as if walking up an incline.
Stand as if you were trying to touch the ceiling with the top of your head, eyes straight ahead. All the elements of good posture will flow from these simple maneuvers. Good posture not only feels better, but reduces the workload on your back.
Shift your weight occasionally, putting one foot in front of the other and bending the knees a bit to take pressure off the back and put it on the legs. Flex hips and knees by occasionally placing a foot on a stool, bench, or other secure object. When possible, lean against a secure object for support.
Avoid wearing high heels.

Action Lawsuits | Elder
Abuse Cases | Malpractice
Serious Personal Injury | Tort
This is a lawsuit filed by one or more people
representing the interests of an entire class
of people in litigation "who are similarly
situated." Examples might include: all women
who have suffered from defective contraceptive
devices or breast implants, all those overcharged
by a public utility during a particular period,
or all those who were underpaid by an employer
in violation of the Fair
Labor Standards Act. If a class action is
successful, a period of time is given for those
who can prove they fit the class to file claims
to participate in the judgment amount. Class actions
are difficult and expensive to file and follow
through, but the results can be helpful to people
who could not afford to carry a suit alone. They
can force businesses that have caused broad damage
to change their practices and/or pay for damages.
They often result in high fees for the winning
attorneys, although often attorneys do not collect
a fee at the beginning of a class action suit
but might charge a contingent fee (such as one-third
of the final judgment), which, occasionally, can
be millions of dollars. Such fees usually require
court approval.
- Physical abuse
- Neglect
- Abandonment
Malpractice is an act or by
a professional who does not meet the standard
of professional competence and results in attestable
damages to his/her client or patient. Such an
error may be carried out through carelessness,
lack of knowledge, or deliberate wrongdoing. However,
malpractice does not include the exercise of professional
judgment even when the results are harmful to
the client or patient. Except in cases of extremely
obvious or intentional wrongs, in order to prove
malpractice there must be testimony of an expert
as to the acceptable standard of care applied
to the specific act or conduct which is claimed
to be malpractice and testimony of the expert
that the professional did not meet that standard.
The defendant then can produce his/her own expert
to counter that testimony. In actions against
attorneys it is mandatory that the plaintiff prove
that the error, if any, caused damages. This means
that a lawsuit, claim or negotiation the attorney
was handling would have resulted in a win or better
recovery except for the malpractice.
surgery malpractice is an act or by a professional
who does not meet the standards of professional
competence as established by the American Board
of Plastic Surgery and results in attestable damages
to his/her client or patient. Such an error may
be carried out through carelessness, lack of knowledge,
or deliberate wrongdoing.
Personal injury refers to the
area of law that aimed at protecting individuals
who are hurt by the action or inaction of another
person or entity. A personal injury claim can
be filed for injury sustained by an individual
either physically or mentally, and it can sometimes
include damage to property. In certain situations
a person may bring a personal injury lawsuit on
behalf of a loved one. Personal injury lawyers
seek to win compensation for their clients.
There are two factors present in every personal
injury case: liability and damages. The first
involves indicating that the person or entity
being charged did in fact bear legal responsibility
for the injury. Damages, refers to the extent
or amount of injury or loss that was supposedly
experienced on account of the defendant's actions.
A tort is a civil wrong or wrongful
act, whether intentional or accidental, from which
injury occurs to another. Torts include all negligence
cases as well as intentional wrongs which result
in harm. Some intentional torts may also be crimes,
such as assault, battery, wrongful death, fraud,
conversion (a euphemism for theft) and trespass
on property and form the basis for a lawsuit for
damages by the injured party. Defamation, including
intentionally telling harmful untruths about another-either
by print or broadcast (libel) or orally (slander)-is
a tort and used to be a crime as well.

Question: For the past two months, I've been taking a green coffee bean extract recommended by Dr. Oz on his show. So far, I've lost 10 pounds without even trying! What's your opinion of it?
Answer: Generally, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. But this stuff may actually work! Excitement about the weight loss magic of green coffee bean extract began this year, after a "randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, linear dose, crossover University of Scranton study" (Translation: neither the active researchers nor the study participants knew they what they were receiving, and all blindly rotated through a high dose, low dose or no dose/placebo phase of the experiment) was published in the January 2012 issue of the peer-reviewed journal Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity.
This wasn't just a bunch of anecdotal claims, but the results of a 22-week study involving 16 participants who showed an average weight loss of 17 pounds - a 10.5 percent overall weight loss and a 16 percent overall body fat reduction. Incredible as it seems, these study participants consumed an average of 2,400 calories per day and still lost weight!
The key to the effectiveness of green coffee bean extract is not believed to be the effect of caffeine; rather, the compound "chlorogenic acid" and its metabolite "caffeic acid." Chlorogenic acid helps to keep the body from absorbing sugar from the digestive tract, and it also stimulates the burning of fat by the liver.
The researchers of the study as well as consumers who've tried it claim this extract promotes weight loss without any significant side effects. A larger study of 60 participants is planned. Study limitations include a small test group and a short study duration. Whether the drug's effect wanes over time is a huge unanswered question.
Question: I'm confused about the findings of a breast biopsy I had a couple of months ago. The biopsy report said I had LCIS (lobular carcinoma in situ). I was relieved the breast surgeon I went to said it wasn't cancer, but the diagnosis of "carcinoma" makes me pretty nervous. Doesn't "carcinoma" mean cancer?
Answer: Yes, it does. But the use of the word "carcinoma" in this breast condition is a misnomer. It's really a pre-cancer condition, rather than a true cancer. "Lobular" means abnormal cells were found in the lobules, which are the milk-producing glands at the end of breast ducts. As you know, it's something found as an incidental finding on a breast biopsy for something unrelated to it. There's no breast mass or lump directly associated with this pre-cancerous breast condition.
Some doctors refer to LCIS as "lobular neoplasia" (an abnormal growth of cells) rather than "lobular carcinoma" (the presence of cancerous cells). LCIS does mean you're at higher risk of breast cancer in the future, so you will need to be closely watched with diagnostic mammograms. The good news is you're safe for now.
Going forward, you will need to discuss treatment options with your breast surgeon or gynecologist. These options include frequent exams and mammography; anti-estrogen protection with a drug such as Tamoxifen or Evista; and consideration of preventive mastectomy - particularly if there's a strong family history of breast cancer.
