That's what we've been taught to believe. Luckily for us, Dr. Robert Su has taken it upon himself to discover the real truth behind one of the most widely-ingested and dangerously insidious substances around: carbohydrates.
Dr. Su is an experienced physician - certainly not a wide-eyed advocate of every new dietary fad that comes around - as well as living proof that carbohydrates are one of the most underrated and misunderstood threats to consumers today. With Carbohydrates Can Kill, you can learn how to:
-Find your own carbohydrate-restricted diet (one that you can stick to)
-Recognize your body's reactions to your lifestyle, and alter that lifestyle as necessary
-Purposefully strengthen your immune system
-Improve your well-being and extend your lifespan
-Treat your body as one unit, understanding that each part affects all other parts
-Find support from your family and friends
In language both passionate and accessible, Dr. Su uses his own life as an example of what not to do - as well as showing us how to recover from a life doing just that. He has a clear desire to see a healthier and happier tomorrow for all of us, and has spent years devoted to his quest to find the truth about carbohydrates so that the rest of us don't have to. Armed with this book and the vast number of outside references he has collected for all of us, we are supplied with all the tools we need to successfully find and stick to a carbohydrate-restricted diet.
It's never too late to become healthy!

Soil and Water: Provide squash plants with deep mounds of organic matter, rich soil, and heavy, even water. All squash are extremely frost sensitive, so use mulch to heat soils in early spring and row covers to protect from frost at both ends of the growing cycle, especially in short growing seasons.
Planting and Growing: Start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost, or sow seed directly once soils are at least 70°F.
Harvesting and Storage: Harvest when you can no longer pierce the skin with a thumbnail, but be sure to harvest before the first hard frost. Cut squash from the vine leaving 2"-3" of stem attached. Allow to cure in the sun for 10 days to finish hardening the skins. Store in cool, dry conditions. To minimize rotting, store in a single layer and do not allow squashes to touch.

Lawyers in the Centro class action will be forced to resume the epic case unless they agree on the fine print in the $200 million settlement by Thursdaymorning.
Federal Court Judge Michelle Gordon set the clock running yesterday after last-minute wrangling delayed confirmation in court of the settlement.
But the two law firms leading the shareholder compensation claims against Centro, Maurice Blackburn and
They will divide the payout, with $150 million going to Maurice Blackburn, which represents more than 1000 claimants, including many institutional investors.
Slater & Gordon has about 5000 claimants, dominated by retail investors.
The investors sued Centro for their losses over its near collapse in 2007.
But the amount that eventually flows to investors will be far less than $200 million, as hefty legal costs will be subtracted.
By some estimates, the case has booked $50 million in fees since it was launched four years ago.
The twin shareholder actions were backed by litigation funders IMF and Comprehensive Legal Funding, which typically take 30 per cent of the outcome as reward for the risk they take if the claims fail.
Key points in corporate law raised in the case will not be resolved, given the out-of-court settlement.
But Maurice Blackburn principal Martin Hyde said the biggest class action result in Australian legal history was a wake-up call for boards.
"This sends a strong message to corporations and their advisers that they will be held accountable to shareholders if their conduct falls short of what the law requires."

Parking Madness At Lintas Plaza, Kota Kinabalu
You thought you've seen horrible parking jobs, but wait till you see what is going on everyday at Lintas Plaza. The parking spaces are parallel to the shops but look, some kick ass driver even parked their Pajero almost 90 degrees to the shops! When one parks this way early in the morning, this style will drag on for the whole day! And yet the authorities are not taking action; this problem persisted for months! Awesome parking skills!

The most excellent comedie and tragical romance of Two gentlemen of… (edition 2010)
by Adam Bertocci, William Shakespeare
Work details
Two Gentlemen of Lebowski: A Most Excellent Comedie and Tragical Romance by Adam Bertocci
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The Bard meets The Coen Bros. What better match to be made than the finest playwright and the finest screenwriters this world has ever seen? The comedic possibilities would seem to be limitless. Of course, the book rests in between the two as a shadow of all the writers. The verse is not as fine as Shakespeare's even though it quotes him liberally and the dialogue not as fine as the Coens' knockout screenplay. The Big Lebowski is most likely my favorite movie of all time, at a push against Taxi Driver.
So, what delights await those who turn the pages of this book? Marry, look for how "Shakespeare" renders Walter's best lines including the unforgettable tv-edited "find a stranger in the alps" sequence. I'm not going to ruin it by giving it away. The text sticks incredibly close to the movie, but the guiding light is Shakespeare. Indeed, he's like a taxidermist, filling his would-be dead pet, the screenplay/play, with as much sand or Shakespearean as he could get in there.
The book is not an unmitigated delight by any means but what is there is genuinely satisfying including a gloss that explains everything both well and jestingly and helpful illustrations at the bottoms of the gloss pages to help those who may misunderstand or simply have deficient imaginations. I don't wish The Bard had written The Big Lebowski, but I'm sure if I did this would be a godsend.
You can't believe that such a thing—a rendering of The Big Lebowski as a Shakespearean drama—could possibly be done well, but marry, 'tis. The author knows his Shakespeare so well as not to merely ape it, but mimic it almost flawlessly, inserting as many wry japes into blank verse and scene-concluding quatrains (and even into the vocabulary notes on the left page of each spread) as metatextually possible. Somehow, all the non-Shakespearean locales and plot points are translated into 16th century equivalents (although not without a snigger; he has a lot of fun giving words like "cable" and "Corvette" their ancient meanings). It's hilarious, but it's also a little exhausting reading the text, consulting the mock-serious notes, and comparing it with one's memory of the movie in order to appreciate the full magnitude of the wit. If you haven't seen the movie, the book, of course, will be impenetrable. But if you have seen the movie, and you've read or seen more than a couple of Shakespeare plays, you'll want to read this.
Bertocci adapts the cult-classic film "The Big Lebowski"--as writ in five acts by William Shakespeare.

What if William Shakespeare had written The Big Lebowski? The Dude has met the Bard--and he doth abide. Join "The Knave" and Sir Walter on a wild tale of mistaken identity, kidnapping, bowling, and a rug that, in faith, really tied the room together--in a sidesplitting Shakespearean comedy of errors and ninepins, told in five glorious acts of iambic pentameter and impeccable period prose. Already a theatrical hit and a worldwide viral phenomenon, Two Gentlemen of Lebowski comes alive anew in this definitive and lavishly illustrated edition, featuring recently discovered historical engravings, scholarly annotations, and a revelatory afterword from the author.… (more)

Bohata et Cie
Andrelux Industries
Founded : 1980
Activities : Leather and imitations of leather, and goods made of these materials and not included in other classes; animal skins, hides; trunks and traveling bags; umbrellas, parasols and walking sticks; whips, harness and saddlery.
Parent Company : Orcofi Holdings
Stockists : International
Origin : 12 Rue de l'Argonne 75019 Paris, France
Between 1989 and 1991, Orcofi established an impressive portfolio in the luxury sector. They acquired leather conglomerate Andrelux Industries (Bohata et Cie, Lorenzo, Soco, Upla, Le Tanneur), French trunk maker Moynat, a heritage company founded in 1849., the luxury grocer Hédiard, Cristalleries Daum, Philippe Model (the French fashion shoe and accessories designer), the young signature ready-to-wear Ines de la Fressange and Paris' oldest couture house, Lanvin. In 1991, the accounts of the parent Orcofi posted a record $600 million net profit and operating profit amounting to $187 million. Assets including the flagship, Lanvin, destined to become once straightened "a new Chanel," was valued at 5 billion francs.
Then fortune shifted when Andrelux, the largest holdings of Orcofi, saw its sales fall by 7% in 1992 to under $600 million explained in part by the judgment of the subcontract for LVMH Moët Hennessy-Louis Vuitton in the second half. Also deficient, both SMEs that provide the major luxury brands, Gordon-Choisy (rare leathers) and Collaert (belts), were undergoing restructuring. The situation of CFC Daum, whose sales fell 13% to under $200 million, was considered "very serious". Lanvin, the estimated loss for 1992 stood at $180 million ($166 million in 1991) and the 1993 budget still provides for a deficit of $150 million. Orcofi and L'Oreal, which each held 50% stakes, heavily invested in the two year renovation of Parisian shops costing $185 million, and the disposal of 70% of the capital distribution companies in Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore ($208 million). Balance was expected for 1994, for Lanvin and for the rest of the group. In an attempt to protect partners and shareholders, Orcofi sold subsidiaries.
From Orcofi, 50% of the House of Lanvin was acquired by L'Oréal in 1994, 66% in 1995 and 100% in 1996. Gordon-Choisy, one of the world's most prominent tanneries specialized in exotic leathers, was initially sold to LVMH and then to Hermes International. Luxury holding company Luvanis SA, based in Luxembourg, bought the rights to Moynat in 2009. In a twist of irony, Groupe Arnault, LVMH's CEO Bernard Arnault's holding company bought Moynat in 2010 with plans to relaunch operations by 2011.
Qatar Luxury Group announced the acquisition of a controlling share of the French leather goods company Le Tanneur & Cie in 2011. Le Tanneur, founded in 1898, and Soco, had been listed on Euronext since 2000, the same year it signed a licensing agreement with Michael Kors and Celine. Cristalleries Daum is now part of Financiere Saint-Germain, parent company of Lalique and Haviland Porcelain Works.
Grand Metropolitan has quietly worked behind the scenes to reassemble the heritage brands and reinvent the legacy that formed Orcofi Holdings. Today, Bohata et Cie is being reintroduced to the world with a haute couture fashion line of shoes, apparel, and accessories.

Quick Tip: A Pair Of Undies Doubles As A Headband
Normally, I am the type of chick that always has a few bobbypins on her person at all times. Alas, I managed to fly to Los Angeles without a single one. This is mainly problematic when it comes to washing my face at night. I have bangs and I don't want to get them wet, so I usually pin them back during my face-washing routine. I tried doing a towel turban, but when my hair is dry, it's too slippery. WHAT TO DO?!?!?! Last night, rather tipsy, I came up with a solution: I grabbed a pair of panties — clean, natch – and slipped them over my head like a cloth headband, pulled it back, and voila! Bangs out of my face. I felt this was ingenious enough to share. Carry on.
P.S. I want to make it clear that this tip is completely different from that stupid advice from Cosmo to use a thong as a scrunchie to hold your hair back during a blowjob.
P.P.S. I just took this photo and I look cracked out and tired because, um, I am. I am working on East Coast time from the West Coast, which means momma has been up early everyday. I apologize if my visage is frightening.

The beautiful surroundings and wonderful location will definitely make you happy!! Dinner at their restaurant wasn't very good.
Incredible hotel! The food, staff, pool, and rooms were amazing. I've already referred someone who is staying there this weekend, and I will be back very soon! Nothing, it was incredible!
Great location in Palisade for the festival. Hotel was very clean and the staff was extremely friendly. We didn't have any problems.
Well maintained properly. Decent size room. A good value for $50. A wonderful accommodating front desk staff. Luke was very kind.
It was clean and has all features for a 4 star hotel
Location was great. Easy access to downtown, business, etc. The price was very good for the quality of hotel. Staff didn't provide all information about amenities when checking in. Had to ask if they had a pool a gym and where they were. They could have offered recommendations to guest that were not on business travel to promote the city. Did not have free coffee/water set up in lobby. Resturant food was over priced and not very good.
The views were amazing!! The king size suite was beautiful and large.
Location NoAC. Dripping toilet. Night crew 3/30. Nikki & & Denise unprofessional, unavailable. Neve
The bed was comfortable. It wasn't clean. The hotel might be out dated, but that is no excuse for all the dust that was in our room. There was about a one inch line all around the room where the vacuum couldnt get closer to the wall.
Location was good for our trip. No temperature control either on or off.
The price was good for the location and cleanliness of the room. The hallway smelled heavily of tobacco smoke.
Close to CMU. Great lounge. Clean room. Good staff. Wi-fi was weak and mostly didn't work. I wanted to watch a baseball game that wasn't available in tv channels that were available.
Love the large windows in the room, good Spacenter in the room. Room felt like it was just the extra stuff room, paid for a sweet, much larger room.... same sized TV and stand put further away from the bed in an awkward location and setting. We stay here everytime I travel through this area and love there normal rooms. Will not upgrade again.
Location is great and price is reasonable. Furnishings are sparse but comfortable.
Proximity to the airport was unparalleled and location was near the interstate (without the noise). Hi water volume toilets in a place that is naturally very dry. Seems like a waste of valuable water resources.
It says continental breakfast but they actually served a full hot breakfast The beds were not comfortable.
Rooms were comfortable and quiet and the breakfast buffet was awesome! Hot tub did not have the fast jets and agitation. It was just a tub of hot water.
Quiet rooms Roach
Very good place. The hotel staff was friendly, check-in was a breeze, the rooms were clean and the Italian restaurant was delicious. I had a pizza and returned to my room very satisfied!
Good breakfast. Decent wifi. Property could use a makeover.
The beds were comfortable. The room was clean. We stayed in the back so it was quiet and peaceful. There wasn't anything we didn't like.
Hot tub, good breakfast, good service Nada
Staff was very friendly, clean rooms, good bed and good breakfast. Getting in and out of the facilities parking lot was difficult because of road construction.
Clean, friendly, wonderful.
Attached restaurant that stayed open late. Beds were saggy and A/C unit had a loud clanging sound all night
Overall the place was great. Room was good and comfortable and clean The problem with the place was I asked for a non smoking room, but it was not, the place had a definite cigarette order. After driving for 13 to 14 hours I was just to tired to make the move to another room. Would be nice if the Clarrion advertised it to be a non smoking room that it truly be a non smoking room.
Breakfast was the best. Very clean and comfortable. Large room. Fitness was room was small but had a good variety of equipment.
Helpful Staff Every door on my floor slammed ridiculously loud anytime one was used- not conducive to relaxing or getting much needed sleep.
The complimentary breakfast was great. I believe, Marta, had the place up and running before 6am. The French toast was not overcooked, had hot syrup, & sausage was great. Sil, at check-in, was accomadating to get me a first floor room after a long day of traveling. She was also friendly at check-out early the next morning. The room was not clean. There was someone else's hair from shaving on & around the dish that had the shampoo/soap bottles. The bathroom had at least a week worth of dust on top of the shower. Dirty washcloths were in the bathroom as well. The tea bags in the room were stained so at one time they had gotten wet, but were just returned & flipped over. I probably will not be back to your location!
They were nice the rooms were clean they have an outside pool that my kids loved so all in all they had fun as did I.
Very nice,clean,comfortable beds,nice pool area and had a playground for younger children. I think that's a bonus for young families! There wasn't anything I didn't like! We enjoyed our stay very much!
Beds were big and comfortable, always love the cookies, and the lady at the front desk was very friendly!
Room was nice and clean and they gave us a warm cookie each during check in, which was a nice touch. We were on the sixth floor but the elevators were close and we were able to get to our room quickly. The pool and jacuzzi closed really early, which I wasn't too thrilled about.
The hotel was very clean and well kept up. The staff were all friendly and smiling the entire time we were there. I loved that the young lady at the front desk was interested in why we were there and gave some great suggestions for food, activities, etc.
The staff was great! So friendly. My only complaints would be that the general hotel temperature was way too hot. 80 degrees in May. I was dying and I'm from California . And the wierd eggs for breakfast that I thought were just eggs but had a creamy cheese filling. Should have been labeled .Otherwise, I loved the place and will for sure stay there again. And will! Comfy beds...get a balcony..so worth it.
The rooms and facility were overall decently cleaned. The comfort of the rooms was awful. The bed felt like I had slept on a bed of bricks. The hallways smelled terribly of Marijuana smoke. For the price of the room a lot more was expected.
They were super accommodating for us traveling with our two dogs, an put us in a room with easy outdoor access. The breakfast left a bit to be desired
The layout of the room was so efficient! We loved the fact that one could shower and yet there was a seperate lavoritory. Ok, I don't want to be a punk here, but ..... there really was not anyting! Even the "Free" breakfast seemed first rate. Hampton has been getting pretty chinsy lately.
Room was comfortable and well-appointed. Breakfast was rather ordinary. No help with luggage. And the big surprise was that we were charged for parking. When we arrived, the front desk person asked 'Would you like a parking pass?' when what she should have asked is "Would you like to buy a parking pass?' For the price we paid for the room, we would have expected more spectacular breakfast, help with luggage, and free parking.
This place is updated, clean and well run. The staff is friendly and our stay included free breakfast each morning. The rooms and furnishings are well kept. I will stay at the Best Western Grande River Inn any time I visit Grand Junction.
The quiet The garden You could not use fitness without key from desk Not enough equipment in fitness room Bed was not comfortable Overpriced
It's hard to get a real good feel for a hotel in one night but no complaints. We were showing some friends around downtown since we inherited some property on the other end of the mall. We had dinner and drinks so it was nice to close to the hotel. The beds were awesome, very comfortable and the staff was friendly. The elevator rubber wheels made a sliding sounds when coming to a stop on the 4th floor. It sounded like the rubber wheels were trying to catch up with the elevator stopping, a little weird sounding and bothersome. You might want to check on that.
Hot tub broken Parking fee
Staff was super friendly and helpful. Bed was clean and comfortable. Would definatly recommend if on a budget.
Room was clean and well kept throughout our stay. Property was quiet. Ample parking. No concerns.
Disgusting rooms, non-smoking room reeked of cigarettes
Very clean hotel and friendly desk staff. Checked us in right away and gave tips about where to park and unload near our room. Gave lots of shampoo and little bars of soaps. There was a fridge (not sure if it was working), coffeemaker, microwave, and iron. Free simple breakfast items until 10 am. There was oatmeal, cereal, yogurt, coffee, bagels, etc. Very happy with this place for the price, I will be looking to stay at more Days Inns. In the morning, the cleaning staff was yelling and talking to each other right outside our door! We were still trying to sleep, so it was upsetting that the staff would be so inconsiderate. Then, when they were cleaning the room next door, they were banging stuff around and continuing the loud conversation.
The breakfast is a great deal. Waffles, fruit, bagels, hot and cold cereal, juices, etc. I was quite pleased to have had my reservation acknowledged, checked in online, and I even got an email asking for our room preferences. So I filled it out, requesting two non-adjacent, (for privacy), downstairs, preferably handicapped rooms. My boyfriend and I both have bad backs and we were traveling with his 90 year old mother who walks with a cane. The form even asked if we had other preferences, so I checked off "extra towels" and "view room if available". Well, upon check in we were given, you guessed it, two UPSTAIRS, (not just upstairs, but through a heavy glass door), ADJACENT rooms, with a normal number of towels, and a view of the dumpster and parking lot. The young man at the desk managed to find a downstairs room for Mom, but I wondered why send the letter, and have me waste my time filling it out carefully, when it was completely disregarded?
Very reasonable, nice staff, close to restaurants
Looked like the rooms were recently updated. It was very clean and the kids loved the pool. Had an issue with the air conditioning in our room and it was promptly taken care of Nothing really
Room came with more than I expected. Breakfast had a very good selection
Room was clean. Bed was comfy. The room had a bit of a musty smell to it, nothing major but definitely noticeable.
Fast internet, clean, and very friendly. Pool looked good but did not use it. None
great restaurants close by liquor store close by, Poke stop on grounds. smokers hanging out on walkway as there must not have been any smoker units left. I felt surrounded by smokers. The spa was not working
It looked like the room had been redone recently. New countertops, new bath/shower surround, possible new carpet. The room was very clean, but also tidy and well kept. The hotel grounds were very well taken care of, and free of weeds, leaves, and debris. Very comfortable stay. Would have been nice with a few more offerings in the breakfast area. I can understand why they don't, its a small room with very little counter space. Still, just enough to get going in the morning.
After our "over booked-no room available" welcome, I was not in a mood to find much to appreciate. "No room, we are oversold" Both my daughters & my booking provided an extensive conservation about sleeping accomidation. Steven, the desk clerk was doing his best to find rooms at other hotels. Everyone was full. After suggesting that I was considering restricting company expense allowances by any employee traveling on company business at all Marriott locations, he located one room at his hotel and found one additional room at another location. During the course of our conversation he mentioned that his manager instructed him to over book the number of rooms available. A very frosting experience!!!!!! (We called and informed the hotel that we would be checking in late)
Pets were allowed, the breakfast was great and varied, and the suite and hotel were very clean. The free use of the gas BBQ was a great bonus to not have to eat out.
Did not like having to pay for parking, understand where during convention times(which there was not much happening when we were there) the hotel would need to charge non guests for parking too make sure there is parking for hotel guests, just do not believe you should charge guests parking fee
Convenient to the station; friendly staff, comfortable room; some good restaurants Ice machine loud near my room; main street pretty short
I could have given all "excellent" ratings, but I used mostly "good" ratings in order to make the rating for Staff stand out. In particular, the service provided by Sierrah was exemplary!
Nice, clean rooms. Friendly staff. We wished breakfast had been included in the stay. The indoor pool was a bit chilly.
Good basic hotel for a one night stay on a road trip. Right off the highway. Very clean.
Large clean and comfortable rooms. Parking right at your door and a reasonable breakfast choice offered. Friendly & helpful staff. A 7min drive from the historic area. Nothing really to walk to from here, but easy access from here. Tiny bathroom with no towel rail & nowhere really to put things.
Great place to stay. Rooms were very clean and well designed. The sense of pride and commitment shows through for the owners in every detail. They were happy and very congenial is every way. We will be back.
Very helpful and friendly staff (Ivanna and her husband). She recommended good nearby restaurant (we were tired and hungry) and he helped us get the air conditioner running and she said I would be safe running the next morning in the area (which was true). The breakfast was fantastic!
staff (Ivanna and her husband) -nice people -I stayed 2 nights for the tour of the moon bike ride . they let me bring my bike into room . Also a great breakfast starts at 7 am. Proximity to down town and hiway is also very handy .will book again for next years ride. nothing.
Room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Great place to stop for an overnight stay. N/A
Very friendly family run motel. Take pride in their motel. Needs some upgrading.
Fairly clean no major issues. Bed was actually comfortable ac unit worked properly lots of parking couldn't hear people in other rooms. Breakfast was okay could of had better selection of things or more of things such as the fruit was always gone. Never used the pool so don't know about that. Stayed 4 nights and they never gave us a new bar of soap although it was gone on day two. Small things nothing major.
It was very close to the airport for any easy morning departure. It seemed a little empty. As a solo female traveler, it made me a little nervous.
Muppet was sweet Saw a couple roaches in the food area
So dirty! Cheapest amenities.
We went to Grand Junction for a wedding. We saw that there was Ramada Inn and immediately decided to stay there because of our experience with Ramada in the past. when we arrived we expected it to be beautiful and nice with everything we needed without even having to mention it. It is obvious to me that the Ramada is owned by a private party of Indian descent. I don't care about where they're from but the hotel is very poor the there was sticky beer substance on the desk along with numerous other little items that were just tacky. If I worked for the Ramada Corporation this remodel would not meet quality control standards. I don't want my money back but I would like another night stay at another Ramada. This place was dilapidated dirty and outdated. It was a bit of a bait-and-switch we were baited by the Ramada name and very disappointed when we got there. I would very much like to have another night at another hotel to make up for this poor experience
Good value hotel with helpful staff The pool was a mess. Green and murky.
Looked like they were remodelling but an old motel. Did not feel welcome or secure. Breadfast was also poor.
I don't habe a problem with the hotel, but your service was abysmal. I made my reservation on 9/3, an unfortunate emergency meant I has to cancel that same day. In order to get a refund I was told I would have needed to cancel by 9/2. A full day before I made the reservation. So they got over $300 of my money, with out providing any real service because I inconvenienced them. The nerve of that is indescribable. I will never use this service, or book at that hotel, ever again.
Staff were great, and the new owners as well. Good location near the airport. Rooms were nothing too special, but very clean and comfortable. Price was excellent.
The room itself was not very clean. The carpet was very dirty and so was the shower. The overall feel was that the establishment itself was very old and run down. It was also very noisy. As a weary traveler on a Mountain biking trip with friends... we splurged to get a hotel for the night and it was very disappointing.
The room was clean, staff was friendly And the price was unbeatable. Rooms were a little outdated. Which made it more economical.
We liked the garden/pool area room phone didnt work. there fire alarm looked like skme one ripped it off the wall. the so called "cold" air was warm like a heater and looks like the housekeepers spent a whole ten min cleaning, all sorts of trash under bed skirts, wad of black hair in shower and the microwave was dirty
Our room was not clean. There was debris in several places on the floor. There was food left in the mini fridge from a previous guest. The faucet and pipes in the sink leaked. There was not toilet paper in the bathroom. The beds were lumpy. Overall, the room had a shabby appearance.
The staff was pleasant, never letting on that I was about to get the worst hotel room of my life (a life that has been filled with hotel rooms.) Filthy. Stained. Soaked in smoke smell. Had rowdy all hours clientele that kept me up all hours. Boo.
It was a very nice room with lots of space and and clean. Big comfy bed. The heater didn't work and the room was freezing. Also there weren't any extra blankets and I froze. Also the internet hardly worked it took about 5 minute to check an email. Overall I might have been better off sleeping in my car.
Very little! the sign our front was for Travel Lodge, not Country Inns of America. The Staff was rude, sink and stool ran all night, could not turn heat off (room was 80+ all night), Maids left trash on floor and my 5 year old could have made the bed better.
Super desk clerk and friendly staff. Clean, comfortable room. No lights working outside the room. Poor temperature control with 110V thermostat.
Location, price, proximity to restaurants and interstate. The carpets in the rooms were unbelievably, incredibly, dirty. After showering I walked around for about 5 minutes, stepped back into the tub and made mud with the dirt that had collected on my feet. Continental breakfast was put out at 0630 with no further attention by staff until after service ended at 0930. Needless to say it was slim pickin's. The staff didn't ask how everything was when we checked out for fear of an honest response. We weren't murdered in our sleep, but we won't be staying there again.
It was okay on the outside, but then... This was an incredibly bad experience. In order of these problems: 1. I was ignored for a full ten minutes, standing there wondering when one of the three staff members at the front desk would acknowledge my existence. 2. They assigned me to a room that, upon moving all my stuff upstairs to the door, I realized wasn't made up. Unmade beds. Trash everywhere, used towels on the floor. 3. I called the front desk and requested the room be made up. They refused, stating no one was on staff to clean until 9am the next day. 4. They gave me a new room, but it was a smoking room. "It wasn't supposed to be" she said. I went back to the unmade room. 5. So I then CLEANED THE ROOM myself, took out the trash, brushed off the pillows and bedsheets, and found one remaining clean towel. 6. But the room had no curtains, so there was no privacy, parking lot lights shining in all night, and in full view of the street. It's hard to imagine a hotel experience worse than this without some form of injury or death.
The staff was nice. I asked for a nonsmoking room and got a room that smelled strong of smoke! My friend two doors down had this same problem. I had to spray neutralizer all weekend and still smelled like a smoker when I got home from the trip. Don't stay there if you are a nonsmoker! The breakfast had waffles and a couple of different kinds of cereal. That's all! I'm not picky, but there was no fruit, yogurt, eggs and the juice machine was out of order, so nothing to drink but warm milk.
Staff is great and very accommodating Little older little dated but best value
The price and the cleanliness of the rooms were great. There was no pool.
The staff are very friendly, and the room is clean. Parking lot is nearby and it's quiet. I would definitely go again. The continent breakfast could be better, say for example there should be juices.

In a speech at CPAC today, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said that the reason China and Russia are refusing to condemn Syria for its treatment of its citizens is that "They reserve the right to do the same thing to their own people" if they protest or demand democratic reforms.
Rubio, addressing opposition by China and Russia of a U.N. resolution on Syria, made the comment at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) as part of his call for a strong U.S. military.
Military might is needed for more than just national security, Rubio argued.
"You can't be stron economically if you're not strong militarily," Rubio said.

Chinese capitalism and the British Empire
Trocki, Carl A. (2004) Chinese capitalism and the British Empire. In International Association of Historians of Asia Conference, 6-10 December 2004, Taiwan, Taipei. (Unpublished)
|Accepted Version (PDF 387kB)
The historical moment of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in Southeast Asia can be characterized as the meeting of two great waves of global expansion. On the one hand, coming from the east were the Chinese junk traders in search of cargoes of pepper, spices and the products of the forests and seas of Southeast Asia. On the other, from the west, were the British: the East Indiamen coming to buy tea in China and the "country traders‿, based in India coming with increasingly large cargoes of opium. We should understand this as a clash of empires, despite the differences in the manner in which we have typically interpreted imperialism and colonialism. We all, I think, know the story of how the opium trade came to finance the tea trade, since it was an import for which the Chinese would pay silver. By the early nineteenth century, opium purchases by the Chinese had come to equal the cost of tea purchases by the East India Company. Most historians have seen this trade as the frontier of British expansion in Asia and the first thrust of imperial expansion, but most have concentrated on the role of opium in China and have tended to ignore its role in Southeast Asia. Fewer still have seen the Chinese movement as a kind of colonial expansion. Because Chinese traders and migrants came without the support of their government, and in most cases were not seen to be organizing political domain over the region, they have not been portrayed as the frontiersmen of empire. There is likewise, little evidence that the Chinese involved, at least at the beginning, had the intention of forming an empire. Nevertheless, if we look at what had come to be in Southeast Asia at the end of the nineteenth century, it is clear that a Chinese empire of sorts had been created. It may have lacked navies and governments and may not have seemed unified, but it was one of traders, colonies of population, an economic system and a set of cultural characteristics that gave it a sort of cohesion. If we strip away the soldiers and administrators, the Chinese "empire‿ in Southeast Asia was not so different from the British Empire. What really drove it were groups of traders who were bound together by family connections, voluntary organizations and place-of-origin links. What I would like to do with this paper is to examine the manner in which this "clash‿ occurred and to trace its permutations over the course of the nineteenth century and into the twentieth. In most cases it did not seem to be a conflict. Many have treated it as partnership, or have even tended to argue that the Europeans themselves created the Chinese presence. I would take issue with those propositions and argue that there were two quite distinct movements in progress. Over time, both changed their character and objectives over time, and both shifted their strategies as conditions changed. There were gains and losses on both sides and there were periods of truce and cooperation as well as of conflict. It is also important to understand that neither "side‿ represented a fully unified front, and that subgroups could, from time to time, switch sides and ally with the "enemy‿. In the final analysis, the empire itself was a joint enterprise, but the purposes of all actors were not the same. Chinese relied on the European umbrella of security and found it possible to exploit the global reach of the European infrastructure. Europeans found they needed the Chinese to produce wealth for them and to manage the mundane tasks of retail and second-level wholesale trade. Neither could have prospered without the other but each was guided by their own aims. Each was capable of taking measures to frustrate or divert the projects of the other. We could say that Chinese and Europeans were sleeping in the same bed, but were dreaming different dreams.

League thrives on pantomime villains
Page Tools
The John Hopoate and Michael Crocker incidents aren't bad for rugby league. The code burns brightest when the fireflies of controversy dance around it.
Drama is the code's oxygen and inertia its enemy. NRL research actually confirms this. Chief executive David Gallop told a meeting of club chief executives in November that research revealed fans actually enjoy what he calls the "soap opera" of the game.
OK, there's "good" soap and "bad" soap and Hopoate certainly did Cronulla forward Keith Galloway harm when he hit him high at Brookvale Oval on Sunday, causing him to be hospitalised with severe concussion.
And Crocker's arrest after being involved in a brawl outside the Beach Palace Hotel at Coogee at 3am the same day cost him 5 per cent of his income and damaged the Roosters' campaign to rid the club of its party-boy image.
But the actions of both players will not cause one fewer fan to come through the gate, or television ratings to fall. True, they will harm the game in the corporate board rooms where the decisions on sponsorship are made, but rugby league has never done well out of the top end of town. Most of the city's marketing types went to private schools and their preference has always been for rugby union and Australian football.
The Hopoate and Crocker incidents will give them an opportunity to joke derisively about rugby league's goon image and caveman intelligence.
Rugby league would have to undergo a generational make-over if it was ever to attract dollars from squeaky-clean insurance companies and banks.
However, although ARU and AFL chiefs will never admit it, they envy the column inches and TV time given over to rugby league's ongoing soapie.
When was the last time Super 12 football dominated pub conversation? Last week, with Waratahs second-rower Justin Harrison's racist sledge! On Friday, it was still the No.1 topic at an eastern suburbs pub where I found myself debating with Gallop and two leading player managers the three words Harrison used and which was the worst.
Harrison was still there on the back page of yesterday's Telegraph, using soap to wash his mouth out. Maybe this says more about the media than it does about the codes but it will take another rugby union atrocity to push Hoppa's apology off today's back page.
Nor will the Hopoate incident damage the Sea Eagles, who are mightily intent on reinforcing Fortress Manly. They are talking about a three- to four-match ban when everyone knows Hopoate will receive the same punishment as Melbourne's Danny Williams.
Even if Manly end Hopoate's career, they will still blame the NRL, Cronulla, the media, even the Warriors ball boy, all to reinforce their siege mentality. OK, so the Sea Eagles will lose a winger who occasionally doubles as a forward, but they'll also cop fewer penalties.
Hopoate's high, ludicrously late tackle may cause a few parents to prevent their children playing the game but at least it proves the code doesn't censor its unsavoury incidents. The AFL does not allow vision of reportable offences until after the judiciary has responded but most of the heat has gone from the debate by then.
Hopoate has been the code's Oil Can Harry for some time. He's the man in the black hat, cape and moustache who invites everyone to throw fruit at him.
But it's better to have a visible target than the subterranean ones that really damage the game. Anything that undermines the integrity of the game is worse than a high tackle, providing it does not end a player's career.
Innuendo of cheating referees, whispers of salary-cap rorting and rumours of sexual assault attack the game's heart.
Hopoate's entry into the "anals" of sporting history for inserting his finger into the backside of opposition players created a spate of jokes. But festering stories that his club endorsed and encouraged his behaviour before leaving him to hang is evil soap opera.
Hopoate and Crocker have apologised for their actions. Some will see this is an act of redemption but it's really designed to bring the soap opera to an end.
John Wayne in the movie She Wore A Yellow Ribbon said, "Never apologise, Mister. It's a sign of weakness".
But John Wayne, remember, was just acting. And his real name was Marion.

The tit amulet was one of several which was placed on the neck of the deceased at the time of burial. It is first mentioned in funerary papyri and first appears on mummies in the mid-Eighteenth Dynasty (about 1550-1295 BC). From then on it was considered vital. This example is made of red jasper, as prescribed in the Book of the Dead, though many examples were of other red materials such as glass or carnelian. Some were also made of green faience or glass. In ancient Egypt, green was symbolic of regeneration. The amulet was linked with the goddess Isis, and also known as the knot-amulet or girdle of Isis. It consists of a loop of cloth, from the tied lower end of which hung two folded loops. It may represent a cloth used during menstruation. According to Spell 156 of the Book of the Dead the amulet bestowed the protection of Isis against 'whoever would commit a crime against him'. The spell, invoking the goddess' blood, power, and magic, was to be recited over the amulet, which was moistened with the juice of various fruit. This example is inscribed with Nefer's name, to ensure that the spell would be specifically applied to him.

MSU athletics staying on WJR
Courtesy MLB.com
(January 20, 2010) Michigan State's relationship with WJR-AM (760) will continue through 2020 after an agreement was reached Tuesday.
WJR became the flagship station in southeastern Michigan for MSU football and basketball at the start of the 2006 football season and 2006-07 basketball season after both parties agreed to a five-year contract in 2005.
MSU president Lou Anna K. Simon, athletic director Mark Hollis and football coach Mark Dantonio joined broadcaster Paul W. Smith and WJR president and general manager Mike Fezzey in the station's Detroit studio Tuesday morning for the announcement of the extension.
Hollis, who secured the initial deal in 2005, said MSU had been in talks with the station for the past six months to extend the contract and said the discussion reached its final stages last week. MSU and WJR were in the fourth year of the original deal.
"WJR is very much a coveted property, and we wanted to ensure that MSU held on to that for as long as possible," Hollis said. "We feel our obligation is to get our message out in Southeast Michigan in the strongest way possible, and WJR is the strongest way to do that."
Although football and basketballbroadcasts are the most visible part of the relationship, MSU and WJR have collaborated on non-sports-related initiatives as well. Hollis said the university plans to increase the amount of programming on the network over the next 10 years.
On his morning show Tuesday, Smith commented on the length of the contract, one that Hollis confirmed was not the norm in the broadcast industry. Contracts typically last five years, sometimes with a yearly rollover option.
"That's a very big deal," Smith said. "Ten years. Radio stations don't make those kinds of commitments very often."
Hollis said he wanted to ensure that continual renewal of the contract would not be an issue so that MSU would not have to worry about losing its home in the Detroit market in the near future. WJR was MSU's flagship station from 1963 to 1976 before becoming the home of University of Michigan sports for three decades.

" Condiment "
My partner actually bought a bottle of this when I sent him shopping and put "ketchup" on the list. Everyone knows that "ketchup" means "Heinz Ketchup".....well, everyone that is except for my husband who ended up bringing home Waitrose Squeezy Tomato Ketchup . Well.....all I can say really is that he's a moron!
The bottle it comes in is fine. Its a conventional plastic bottle with a plastic flip lid that has the little ketchup hole in the top of it. Before you can use it, you need to peel back the foil protector under the lid - an idea which I actually like because it means the ketchup bottle could not have been tampered with. Using the bottle is also good because when it comes to condiments, I prefer squeezy bottles so that I don't have to give myself a hernia trying to get the sauce out of the bottle and onto the plate - which seems to be the case all to often with glass bottles. So far so good!
The cost is reasonable at 89p for 470g - which is good value considering the Heinz is £1.49 for the same weight squeezy bottle.
However, with the all important taste test it just didn't pass. Its not that its bad.....its tomatoey, sweet with just the right about of acidity. Its thick and not sloppy like cheaper non-brands often are - and its nutritionally comparable to the Heinz Ketchup. But it doesn't taste the same as the Heinz variety and its missing the X Factor which makes Heinz so successful.
If I had no other option then I would eat this....like I said, its pleasant enough and there is nothing really that I can fault about it. But I like the original brand and I'll be sticking with that one.
After years of discovering all the different ways of bashing, shaking and hitting a glass ketchup bottle I have finally gotten to a point where I can get some onto my plate before having a mental breakdown. My son is another story! He is impatient and enraged by the glass bottle.
I don't normally shop in Waitrose as the closest one is a 20 minute drive from our house but as I was in need of some cooking supplies only available at Waitrose I found myself doing my weeks shop there. When getting a new ketchup I grabbed the squeezy one from the shelf. It got my attention immediately as an easy solution to my sons' problems.
Things to know:
Salt: Red coding
Contains: Milk
May Contain: Nut & Seed traces
Cost: £0.89
Not a bad cost and doesn't take up any more room then the glass bottle in the refrigerator.
Packaging is a plus too! As it has a flip lid there's no covered in ketchup top to fiddle with!
Taste: I used to be Heinz ketchup or nothing. I have liked the Waitrose one. The taste is almost exactly the same. As I am not normally in Waitrose I will probably buy the Heinz squeezy next time.

Phillip Rudolph '83 Joins Chapman University Business Law Emphasis Advisory Board
From the Chapman University website:
The Dale E. Fowler School of Law announces that Phillip Rudolph, Esq., will join its Business Law Emphasis Advisory Board. Phillip Rudolph is the Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary at Jack in the Box Inc., which he joined in November 2007.Mr. Rudolph came to Jack in the Box from Ethical Leadership Group, a Chicago-based ethics consultancy where, from January, 2006 through October, 2007, he was Vice President & General Counsel, in addition to maintaining a full complement of consulting clients.
"Phil Rudolph brings years of practical experience to the law school," said Tom Campbell, dean of the Fowler School of Law. "His guidance will be tremendously valuable, in reviewing what our students need to learn and in providing them practical training for how to be a business lawyer."
Prior to his work in Chicago, Rudolph was partner in the Washington, D.C., office of Foley Hoag LLP, a Boston-based law firm, where he specialized in advising clients in the area of corporate responsibility from August 2003 through December 2005. Rudolph came to that position after serving as Vice President in the legal department at McDonald's Corporation between March, 1998 and February 2003, where, among other roles, he was Deputy General Counsel, U.S. General Counsel and International General Counsel. He also developed and oversaw the company's global ethical sourcing program.
"While law schools do an excellent job of teaching students to think and write like lawyers, they do precious little to help future lawyers understand business," said Rudolph. "Dean Campbell's leadership in creating a program at the Fowler School of Law aimed specifically at helping law students develop business-related skills and competencies is a welcome development. I'm honored to be invited to participate as a member of the Advisory Board for this worthwhile undertaking."
Rudolph began his career in the Los Angeles office of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher in September, 1983. He moved to the Washington, D.C., office of the firm in 1985, was elected to the partnership in 1991, and remained with the firm as an antitrust and litigation partner until he joined McDonald's in 1998.
Rudolph graduated magna cum laude from the University of California, Irvine in 1980, with a B.A. degree in political science. He received his law degree from the University of Chicago Law School in 1983. He is a member of the Bars of the states of California and Illinois, and of the District of Columbia, and is also licensed to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States and several United States Courts of Appeals and District Courts.

Paris (ESA) May 12, 2005
World Health Organisation personnel combating an Angolan outbreak of the lethal Marburg virus used high-resolution satellite-based urban maps provided through a pair of ESA-led activities.
The Marburg virus causes Ebola-like internal bleeding in humans, with an incubation period of between five and nine days. A Marburg outbreak was detected in Angola's Luanda city at the start of April.
It has since taken the lives of more than 255 victims, many of them children under five.
To help local World Health Organisation (WHO) teams fight the epidemic, updated maps of Angolan cities based on 2.5-metre resolution SPOT 5 imagery along with metric IKONOS images were prepared.
The maps have been used to orientate field workers, plan activities and integrate information on the spread of cases.
"This product will be of great help to our organisation with the recent outbreak of Marburg virus," said Johan Lemarchand of WHO. Latest reports indicate the virus is now under control.
The urban maps were provided through the ESA-led activities Epidemio and Respond. The first is a Data User Element project to supply satellite data and products to epidemiologists exploring links between the environment and disease.
Respond is a consortium dedicated to supplying satellite-based geo-information products direct to humanitarian users in the field, with partners including UNOSAT, an in-sector service provider within the United Nations community as well as the German Aerospace Centre (DLR).
Respond has been established as part of the pilot services of Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES), a joint initiative between ESA and the European Union to build a global monitoring capability in support of Europe's environmental and sustainable development goals.
On behalf of Respond, UNOSAT in collaboration with the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) and with DLR provided WHO with a map of the city of Cabinda, UNOSAT also providing a map of Uige, capital of the province at the epicentre of the epidemic.
At the same time, Epidemio partner company C-CORE has supplied a map of the Angolan capital Luanda.
Both UNOSAT and C-CORE stayed in close contact with WHO, organising a makeshift partnership to ensure reliable and timely support for both activities.

Working in his sunlit Ridgewood studio, Angel Otero (b.1981) produces three or four new oil paintings on glass each day. After drying, he scrapes the paintings off the glass (creating "oil skins") and applies them to large, resin-coated canvases. The process results in the rippled, semi-abstract paintings that characterize the artist's signature style. Otero stumbled upon this unusual technique while at the Art Institute of Chicago, where he saved scraps of dried oil paint and collaged them on to canvas in an effort to save money. "I didn't have the courage to throw [the scraps] away because oil paint is very expensive and I was dead broke," he remarks.
Abdi on the Rise
Raised by his art-loving mom, Abdi Farah (b. 1987) was introduced to the arts at an early age. Growing up in Baltimore, a city with a rich artistic and cultural presence, he recalls being around art all the time. Farah remembers visiting art galleries and institutions such as the Walters Art Museum (formerly the Walters Art Gallery) and the Baltimore Museum of Art. His earliest memories of making art are when he went to work with his mom, a college professor and sat in a quiet corner to draw with markers and crayons. "I grew up always drawing," he says. "That's kind of who I was." This love of drawing manifested into a skill and passion that led him to attend the George Washington Carver Center for Arts and Technology High School, where he focused on studio art. It wasn't until he won the NAACP ACT-SO Gold Medal in painting that he realized how much artistic talent he had, and that he could be an artist for a living. Prior to this realization, Farah was certain he was going to play professional basketball, a huge part of his adolescence. "My buddies and I worshipped it," he says.
Studio Reprint:
Processing Stephen Burks
Back in 2007, long before Stephen Burks: Man Made was even an inkling in our minds, we featured a profile of the internationally acclaimed industrial designer in our magazine, Studio. Not only that, but the profile was illustrated with an image of his Part Occasional Tables, 2007, which are currently on view in the Museum of Arts & Design Global Africa Project exhibition. A prescient profile? Perhaps!

Need to upload hi8 from Sony TRV88 to mac computer. Anyone done this? No USB outlet, AV Jack only. I bought a Sony DCR-HC96 trying to link one to the other and then into the computer, because all the research indicated that the DCR-HC96 was he only one with pass thru capacity, ie, converted analog to digital, but of course, can't find the right cables anywhere to connect these two either. Any help most appreciated
Use an RCA cable (red, white, yellow) out of the TRV88 into the the A/V port of the HC96, in the menu there's a setting that says A/V in to DV out. Turn it on and use the firewire out of the HC96 into your computer.
Thank you for your reply. The trv88 has: an s-video out, an AV out that is a jack, and an rfu dc out that is a smaller jack. The DCR-HC96 has a blue LANC jack port, and an AV port that is a pin type. I am confused about your post.I have a cable that is a jack on one end into the trv88, going to the RCA. I also have an RCA with an AV on the other end. Is there a connector out there that will link male RCA to male RCA to each other? Also, which menu are you discussing and how do I access it? Cheers, MW
female to female coupler might be more accurate. I'l try evil radio shack and see if this works
Yep sounds like you need some RCABarrels, try Radio Shack.
Lots of cables and couplers and camcorder menu adjustments later. It works!!!!!!! I can't thank you enough!!! I hope 2010 is a fantastic creatively fruitful year for you!

Fair Collective Choice Rules: Their Origin and Relationship
This paper provides a conceptual framework on fair collective choice rules that synthesizes the studies of Goldman and Sussangkarn (1978) and Suzumura (1981) on the one hand and Tadenuma (2002, 2005) on the other. We show that both frameworks have the following binary relation as a common origin: an allocation x is at least as good as an allocation z if (i) x Pareto dominates z, or (ii) x equity-dominates z. Its transitive-closure and the strict relation derive different ranking criteria, but remarkably, with respect to the maximal elements, they have a set-inclusive relationship.

MTV Doubles Down on 'Skins' Controversy with Teenage Lesbian Makeout Scene (Watch the Trailer)
On Thursday Yidio reported on how a recent episode of "Skins" caused an uproar with the conservative Parents' Television Council, which called the show "the most dangerous program that has ever been foisted on your children."
MTV producers agreed to make changes to tone down some of the most explicit content in the realistic teen show. That apparently didn't include the elimination of a hot and heavy girl-on-girl makeout scene featured in an upcoming episode.
A new trailer for the series shows the fantasies of one of the female characters Tea, played by Black D' Ella, who envisions meeting a female student at a nightclub and making out on the stairs. The scene doesn't feature any of the nudity that drew controversy in earlier episodes, and is in fact no racier a scene from your average teen drama. Except that these teens are gay. Is America ready for the reality behind "I Kissed a Girl?"
While the show has seen a backlash from advertisers, with Taco Bell and GM pulling their ads due to racy content, the controversial show has been a big hit with the young audience the network atctively pursues.
According to the L.A. Times, "in a release, MTV pointedly noted that 'Skins' had premiered to a higher rating among its core audience of viewers ages 12 to 34 (3.4 rating) than the rollouts of other youth shows such as ABC Family's 'Pretty Little Liars' (2.2 rating) and CW's 'Gossip Girl' (2.3) and 'Vampire Diaries' (2.4)."
Given the plotline for the original British series, things are only going to get more interesting.
Are Americans too thin-skinned to handle the salacious "Skins?" Will outrage from parents' groups and advertisers end up getting the series pulled?
Given the early ratings, we wouldn't bet on it.

MRI findings shed light on multiple sclerosisAugust 21, 2012
OAK BROOK, Ill. - New magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) research shows that changes in brain blood flow associated with vein abnormalities are not specific for multiple sclerosis (MS) and do not contribute to its severity, despite what some researchers have speculated. Results of the research are published online in the journal Radiology.
"MRI allowed an accurate evaluation of cerebral blood flow that was crucial for our results," said Simone Marziali, M.D., from the Department of Diagnostic Imaging at the University of Rome Tor Vergata in Rome.
MS is a disease of the central nervous system in which the body's immune system attacks the nerves. There are different types of MS, and symptoms and severity vary widely. Recent reports suggest a highly significant association between MS and chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI), a condition characterized by compromised blood flow in the veins that drain blood from the brain. This strong correlation has generated substantial attention from the scientific community and the media in recent years, raising the possibility that MS can be treated with endovascular procedures like stent placement. However, the role of brain blood flow alterations on MS patients is still unclear.
To investigate this further, Italian researchers compared brain blood flow in 39 MS patients and 26 healthy control participants. Twenty-five of the MS patients and 14 of the healthy controls were positive for CCSVI, based on Color-Doppler-Ultrasound (CDU) findings. The researchers used dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced (DSC) MRI to assess blood flow in the brains of the study groups. DSC MR imaging offers more accurate assessment of brain blood flow than that of CDU. MRI and CDU were used to assess two different anatomical structures.
While CCSVI-positive patients showed decreased cerebral blood flow and volume compared with their CCSVI-negative counterparts, there was no significant interaction between MS and CCSVI for any of the blood flow parameters. Furthermore, the researchers did not find any correlation between the cerebral blood flow and volume in the brain's white matter and the severity of disability in MS patients.
The results suggest that CCSVI is not a pathological condition correlated with MS, according to Dr. Marziali, but probably just an epiphenomenon-an accessory process occurring in the course of a disease that is not necessarily related to the disease. This determination is important because, to date, studies of the prevalence of CCSVI in MS patients have provided inconclusive results.
"This study clearly demonstrates the important role of MRI in defining and understanding the causes of MS," Dr. Marziali said. "I believe that, in the future, it will be necessary to use powerful and advanced diagnostic tools to obtain a better understanding of this and other diseases still under study."

The auto industry can be a small town. You're sure to run into somebody you know.
Marketing whiz Joel Ewanick, vice president for marketing at General Motors, ran into two previous bosses at an auto-industry discussion panel sponsored by USA TODAY in advance of the Los Angeles auto show.
That's Ewanick in the center, Hyundai's U.S. CEO John Krafcik on the left, Nissan's U.S. chief Carlos Tavares on the right.
We'll give you a full report on what they and the other executives on the panel said, but in the interim, let's just appreciate the moment captured in the photo.
Ewanick worked years at Hyundai in the U.S., helping establish the brand as solid, credible and consumer friendly. He was hired away by Nissan's U.S. operation in March. GM came prowling and, in what had begun to seem like a soap opera or game of musical chairs, snatched Ewanick from Nissan in May.
We imagine it must be like a football team facing its former quarterback. You know his moves, but not when or exactly how he'll make them with his new team. It was a reminder that, although it's the sheetmetal that sells, its the smart, energetic, creative people -- like the three in the picture -- who keep the billion-dollar buggy rolling.

I had Juverderm injections under eyes 6 days ago. The result for me is SUBTLE. I hardly can tell the difference. The Dr. must have used a little over half the syringe. I only bruised a little,noticeably from the needle mark on my right under eye.
I also bought Arnica & immediately took it after. Best to take it a few days before. See my Photos below. It's subtle perhaps because I realize that my eyes are not that bad yet. I'm 39, almost 40 in 2 mos. I'm starting to feel I need the treatment.
I had a big line under each eye, dark circles, sunken eyes from loss of fat combined with puffiness. I still see it after injection. So I'm not sure if it was worth the $ at this time for me. Perhaps I needed a little more Juvederm or it depends on the Dr.'s technique? Atleast I did not bruise a lot & he did not hit a vessel like the other photo of the lady on here that had it done.
No numbing creme was used, it was painless. I won't be doing it for awhile. It's supposed to last up to a year. Average 6-9 mos. But I might go to someone else, pay a little more to see if there is a difference in results.

Aside from the committee members, the lever-pullers of the Brogden campaign are Scott Morrison, Liberal State director, and Mark Textor, pollster to the Howard Government for its three remarkable election victories.
They shun the limelight while relishing the behind-the-scenes formulation and execution of campaign initiatives.
"You will never find Scott or Mark's fingerprints on what we are doing yet they are everywhere," a member of Brogden's staff said.
With the State election a little over six months away, the Coalition is running out of time to give their leader a community profile and equip him with enough clout to unseat Carr, who has already claimed the scalps of Liberal leaders Greiner, John Fahey, Peter Collins and Kerry Chikarovski.
Ian Kortlang, who recently installed himself as chief executive of the Sydney branch of worldwide public relations outfit Burson Marstellar, is in and out of Parliament House in Macquarie Street using the experience of a dozen election campaigns to advise the Brogden camp where to navigate its message.
"You win elections during the campaign," he said. "Six months before his victory, Nick Greiner was hardly visible but we decided to launch the 'We're ready' slogan and things began to move our way. We hope things will go our way again."
Canberra-based Mr Textor, the mastermind behind John Howard's sudden appeal in western Sydney and among so-called "battlers", is working directly with Scott Morrison, the Liberal State director and former KPMG fixer, on aligning Mr Brogden, his policies and community opinion.
The two men share the view that a successful election campaign is one that has "a tightness of command and control" because it minimises the opportunity for mistakes.
They are contemptuous of the amateurism that has dominated recent campaigns in NSW when "social climbers, well-meaning old fogeys and self-serving MPs" blunted the message and even sabotaged it.
"The Brogden campaign will be run by a professional secretariat and not members of the Sydney champagne circuit," one of the team said.
Mr Brogden's campaign team is a who's who of the Liberal establishment representing the right (Textor, Yabsley), centre (Greiner, Robb) and moderate (Webster, Smith) factions of the party.
