The biggest losers following the Utah Department of Health's recent $51 million budget cut are the poorest people in the state, whose access to health care has dwindled.
Most of that money was lopped off Medicaid as part of the state's cuts for fiscal year 2010, which began in July. As a condition of federal stimulus funds it received, the government insurance program was prohibited from changing its eligibility requirements.
So officials were forced concentrate in two areas: how much health care providers are paid and services considered optional by the federal government.
With a 25 percent roll-back in pay, Utah dentists took the hardest hit. Now 25 fewer dentists are seeing pregnant women and children, and more are threatening to close their doors to Medicaid clients if that lost pay isn't restored.
David Sundwall, the health department's executive director, told the Legislature's Executive Appropriations Committee Tuesday that the cuts may have been unfair. "(We are) holding the state more harmless than we are some of our (private providers)," he said.
Some 60,000 people on Medicaid also lost access to speech therapy, hearing aids, eyeglasses and chiropractic services.
Reductions in the department's Primary Care Grants Program, which supports doctors who see underserved patients in rural and urban areas, meant 3,000 uninsured people had access to 5,000 fewer primary care visits.
And the elimination of the Health Care Workforce Financial Assistance program -- which helps lure doctors to underserved areas by paying back their medical school loans -- meant 30 fewer doctors worked in areas where health care is sparse. That means 30,000 fewer Utahns are getting care.
With the state facing a steep revenue shortfall, the situation may be poised to get worse.
A one-time backfill of money -- allowed by the infusion of federal stimulus dollars -- prevented Medicaid providers' reimbursements from taking deeper cuts. If that money isn't restored again this year, dentists will take another 8 percent hit; inpatient hospitals, 17 percent; pharmacists, 3 percent and other providers, up to 2.5 percent.
Sen. Pat Jones, D-Salt Lake City, said when the economy rebounds, boosting provider reimbursements needs to take priority. "Otherwise," she said, "we're going to pay in the long run."
Children with Special Health Care Needs Clinics are facing a similar problem: a $1 million cut was backfilled, but the cut may go into effect in fiscal year 2011. If that happens, neonatal, neurology, and orthopedic clinics in Provo, Ogden, Logan, St. George and Salt Lake City will close, forcing some 1,000 children to seek care elsewhere.
Sundwall said most of these children are on Medicaid, however, and their families could travel to Salt Lake City for care at Primary Children's Medical Center.

Publisher's Description▼▲
Two crises in Colosse cause visitors to be sent to the Apostle Paul. First, an old friend brings news that false teachers are laying down rules and boasting of secret knowledge beyond the gospel. Then, a runaway slave begs Paul to ask his Christian master for mercy. The letters Paul writes to handle these dilemmas remain foundational for understanding Christ and His work in us. The 11 sessions of this Bible study on the books of Colossians and Philemon examine how Paul exalted Christ and affirmed a truly Christian lifestyle. If using in a group, personal study is needed between meetings.

Arlene French4 Stars Out Of 5April 8, 2008Arlene FrenchI lead a ladies Bible study made up primarily of seniors. This is a bit more in depth than anything they've done before and it's taken 3 classes to teach them how to use the study.Overall it's a very good study.As a leader, I would have preferred that the margins were left blank and the optional questions put into a section in the back of the book.Also, where the actual study becomes "For the Group" is confusing to the ladies. I feel it should have been titled " For the Group Leader". But, I like it and hope that when they finish this study they will want to do others in the series.
Suzanne Clink5 Stars Out Of 5March 4, 2008Suzanne ClinkExtremely informative. I prayed for a challenge in teaching the "meat & potatoes" to my class, and I got it! This is the 1st LifeChange series I have personally taught from and have had excellent feedback so far on the contents and challenges it presents.
Jeanie Moore5 Stars Out Of 5January 3, 2008Jeanie MooreI love the Life Change Series Study Books because there is no commentary, just very meaningful questions that cause you to read & re-read the passage over and over till God shows you His meaning. The questions are excellent, making the Bible meditation very interesting, and the little bit of historical background is exactly what's needed, as well as the few word definitions included. This series does the best job of setting you up to hear from God. Thanks!

WASHINGTON (AP) — One hundred House members — Democrats and Republicans — want the special deficit reduction committee to consider all options for reducing federal red ink and shoot for $4 trillion in savings.
That total would far exceed the committee's official goal.
Organizers say the group is divided about evenly between Republicans and Democrats. That would mean a sizable number of GOP lawmakers want the committee to consider increasing revenues.
That's been a hard sell among Republicans on the committee and in Congress.
The committee faces a Nov. 23 deadline for proposing at least $1.2 trillion in savings over 10 years. So far, the committee has made little apparent progress.
If Congress doesn't approve a plan by Dec. 23, $1.2 trillion in automatic cuts would start taking effect in 2013.

Fire House Meeting Room
44 Fire House Lane, Red Feather Lakes, CO
May 13, 2010 Meeting Notes
The meeting was called to order at 1:34 PM by Chairperson Ted Carter.
Members in Attendance: Barbra Bowman, Susan Bradley, Ted Carter, Terry Ferebee, Ben Myers, Ross Reid, Lucille Schmitt, Michael Sledge, Roger Svendsen
Members Excused Absences : All other members had excused absences.
Larimer County Representation : County Commissioner Lew Gaiter, III, Rob Helmick, LARCO Planning and Linda Hoffmann, Director of Planning and Building Services
Guests Present : Pat Bradley, Judy Viola and Tom Viola
Adoption of Agenda: The agenda was approved as written
Approval of Minutes : March and April 2010 meeting minutes were approved
Communications from Committee Members :
1. Barbra Bowman introduced herself to the PAC and advised the PAC why she had initially applied for PAC membership and stated that when she applied and was accepted she had no idea that she would be hired by the Sheriffs Office that would require a considerable amount of training time. She advised that she had communicated to County employees that she would have to miss several scheduled PAC meeting due to her training commitments.
2. The PAC discussed Gene Allen vacancy and the absences of a PAC member due to illness.
3. Ross Reid advised that he had received a telephone call from the RFL School principal advising about the ad in the North Forty News and his hope that he will be able to work with the RFLPAC in the further pertaining to school issues.
Comments from Audience :
1. Judy Viola. Judy discussed Proposed Amendments 60 and 61 to the Colorado Constitution and proposed Colorado Proposition 101. RFLPAC members and RFL community members are encouraged to educate themselves on the proposed Amendments and Proposition. Bhagcolorado.blogspot.com can provide both pros and cons for proposed Amendments and Proposition.
Communications from County Representatives :
1. LARCO Commissioner Lew Gaiter III introduced Ms. Linda Hoffmann, LARCO Director of Planning and Building Services who thanked the PAC membership for their services to Larimer County and she favorably commented on the Red Feather Lakes Master Plan.
Action Items : None
Updates :
1. Rob Helmick, LARCO Planning. The RFL road contract has been signed and work should begin in about four weeks.
2. Ben Myers advised that shortly after last months PAC meeting, CenturyTel advised that they were purchasing Qwest. Ben will delay contacting CenturyTel concerning RFL broadband issues until the dust settles concerning this purchase. Subsequently, the PAC discussed WiFi and broadband issues.
3. Tom Viola discussed the vision of an Environmental Learning Center at the Red Feather Elementary (RFLE) School. This Center would add value to the Red Feather School and Poudre School District (PSD). The major factor that kept the Red Feather School open was dollars; the impact of school closure on the children and the Red Feather Lakes community had little impact on the School Districts decision to keep the RFLE school open. An Environmental Learning Center may create an attraction to bring more visitors to RFL to help sustain the economic viability of the community. The development and implementation of a year round mountain environmental learning center would help educate and prepare PSDs students and the general public for the green economy. It would be a cooperative partnership with PSD and community groups to teach hands-on interdisciplinary environmental education, using the unique learning environment of the Colorado Rocky Mountain ecosystem and the educational experience of RFLE Schools existing environmental education programs. Funding would be provided by local, state, federal grants and PSD-wide fund raising programs. Such learning centers are not new to Colorado. Some mountain communities are taking advantage of their own natural resources to teach an environmentally based curriculum, such as the Wild Bear Center for Nature Discovery in Nederland, CO.
a. Ted Carter asked the PAC to identify where the PACs involvement fits into this project. Responses included (1) it would help keep a sustainable community for families; would provide families a reason to move to RFL; to manage such a committee would be very time consuming.
Discussion Item Community Pathways
1. Ted Carter asked if the school issue is the focus of PAC for the next year? Is it the primary focus or is it secondary to water and sewer? The consensus of the PAC was that the PAC can balance both the Water and Sewer issue with the environmental learning center project. Michael Sledge, Lucille Schmitt and Susan Bradley voiced interest in participating in a sub-committee pertaining to the environmental learning center.
2. Ted Carter addressed Susan Bradleys April 8, 2010 motion pertaining to Barbra Bowmans. Susan Bradley advised that she wanted to withdrawal her motion and the PAC membership agreed.
RFLPAC meeting adjourned at 3:00 PM.

Lindsay Lohan Works the Fur On Set of 'Liz & Dick' (PHOTOS)
The embattled actress, 25, channeled the late Dame Elizabeth Taylor as she stepped out in a furry hat and cream-colored dress.
Despite a brief bout with exhaustion this past week, Lilo seemed to be happy and healthy as she shot scenes in Los Angeles.
This isn't the first time Lilo has donned fur for her Liz Taylor role, and it isn't expected to be the last.
Celebuzz has been tracking the starlet on set, and we've compiled a round-up of her scene-stealing costumes in the gallery below. It's no wonder she's being hailed as LizLo while filming this TV movie.
On Friday, June 15, news hit that Lindsay was found unresponsive at a Marina del Ray hotel where she was shooting scenes for Liz & Dick. A rep for the starlet issued a statement in light of the news, telling Celebuzz, "Lindsay worked a grueling schedule the past few days. She was on set last night at 7 pm and worked through the night until 8 am this morning (Friday)."
Following the health scare, Lohan was seen back on set that weekend.
Given all the photos we've seen of the actress as Liz Taylor, do you think she's pulling off the role? Let us know, below.

Workers at Bain-Owned Sensata File Unfair Labor Practices Charges
Source: In These Times
This morning, workers filed charges with the National Labor Relations Board alleging unfair labor practices at Sensata Technologies, a car-sensor manufacturer owned by Bain Capital (which Mitt Romney founded). The charges come after the Freeport, Ill. company threatened to close the plant immediately--two months ahead of schedule--if employees continued to rally against the outsourcing of their jobs to China.
The workers filed two charges with the NLRB: one over Sensata's threat to shut the plant down early, the other accusing the company of increasing security and announcing a new policy, or a previously unenforced policy, prohibiting off-duty employees from entering work areas at non-work times, in response to and in retaliation for employees engaging in protected concerted activity."
The employees received the shut-down threat Tuesday via the Freeport Police--Sensata management asked the police to relay the message rather than communicate with workers directly. The workers were told that the plant, which is scheduled to close its doors this December after 170 jobs and equipment are shipped to the new plant in China, would be shut down early if protests continue. Demonstrators, some of whom have worked there more than 40 years and will receive only 26 weeks of severance pay, were incensed. In a press release from organizers at Bainport (the county fairgrounds across the street from Sensata that has been converted into a protest camp), Joanne Penniston says:
Not only are they shipping our jobs to China, they are also trying to take away our rights as American workers. We are not going to be intimidated. We are going to stand up for our rights and our jobs.

5. The "Romney shipped jobs to China" narrative is losing steam....
He keeps saying he isn't involved with day to day blah, blah, blah... The fact is, Romney has made a buttload of money off of sending jobs overseas. He has made more money shipping jobs overseas than most people in this country will see in their lifetime. He is still making money off of this. This is Romney's business plan. He showed these companies how to do it. He advised these companies to do it. He touted this as a way to increase profits. He OWNS this practice.

Mania and Dream Logic: Looking Back at Steve Ditko's Cackling 'Creeper'
The Creeper isn't the greatest Steve Ditko creation, and it's not even the most Ditko-esque. (Maybe those are the same things.) But one thing the Creeper comics have going for them is that they follow their own unsettling dream logic, and Ditko commits to the mania that powers the title character. This is a costumed vigilante who dresses in yellow body paint, wears a green wig, and sports a freaky red shag carpet over his shoulders, to complement his fur-lined boots. Raging reporter Jack Ryder first dons the outlandish outfit to sneak into a costume party where he suspects criminal activity, and he keeps it because of a knife wound and super-science. It bonds with him thanks to a desperate injection and a conveniently-timed hyperspace implant, and the Creeper is born.
That's the absurd origin of the Creeper, and it's one that was revised and rewritten in the decades after Steve Ditko stopped working on the character. It doesn't make any kind of sense. Jack Ryder infiltrates a costume party with the most blatantly noticeable costume in the history of costumes? And the guy he's there to sort-of rescue happens to have a super-serum inside a ready-to-go syringe that gives Jack Ryder super-healing and super-strength? And not only that, but the genius implants a displacement field inside Ryder's gaping wound because arms dealers and warlords could use it to make stealth armies? What now?
Yet, that's what we get in the opening story, and we go with it, because in Ditko's odd universe what matters is the strangeness, not the believability. It's spectacle, but not of the sort with cosmic crashes and dynamic gestures. Instead, it's the sordid, unsettling kind, the equivalent of a gang of clowns piling out of a Volkswagen and pulling the mask off the ringleader to reveal that he's a criminal mastermind who once pretended to be your best friend. That kind of vibe. You may have had nightmares like that after eating too many slices of bacon and goat cheese and anchovy pizza.It was Dan Clowes that convinced me that Steve Ditko's superhero comics were worth reading. I'm sure Clowes has spoken or written about his appreciation of Ditko, but that's not what I'm talking about. And it might be difficult to believe that Ditko, the creator of many of my favorite childhood comic book characters like Spider-Man and Doctor Strange and the Question and the Blue Beetle, would be someone I often overlooked as an artist. But I did. I avoided Ditko's work for years, finding his doll-like poses and long shots and big-toothed, rubbery-faced characters antithetical to what I enjoyed about superhero comics. His comics looked, to me, like a kind of puppet theater. His characters were marionettes bouncing around on a colorful but ultimately uninteresting stage.
It probably didn't help that I grew up on ROM Spaceknight and Speedball Steve Ditko, lesser artistic works by any standard (except the perils of nostalgia), and knew his more famous characters via interpretations by other writers and artists, so his versions of his own creations looked quaint and archaic. But it wasn't just that. I had learned to love Jack Kirby by then, even though I didn't grow up with his seminal work. And I liked Gene Colan and Don Heck and other Silver Age artists just fine. But I never quite understood the appeal of Ditko.
It wasn't until the mid-1990s when my brain shifted into the right mode. I had been reading a lot of Dan Clowes by then — his Eightball remains one of my favorite comics of all time — and I thought about a reality in which someone like Clowes would get a chance to (or even want to) draw a sustained run on a superhero comic. That's when I realized that it had already happened. Many times. Steve Ditko was the weird outsider who drew atypical superhero comics with what could, in retrospect, be called a proto-alt-comics aesthetic. I had been misreading his comics for years.
I'm sure Ditko would hate such labels. "Proto-alt-comics aesthetic" probably sounds like a whole bunch of nonsense. But that was my way into his world. That was the perspective that allowed me to appreciate Ditko for what he was, not what he wasn't. Since then we've had a substantial Steve Ditko renaissance, with the more literary-minded comic book critics reminding everyone that Ditko is still out there, drawing comics in his mid-eighties, producing his own idiosyncratic small press work for mail order customers. And major publishers have brought many of his comics back into print, via sometimes glossy and always decently-expensive hardcover editions. Biographer and editor Blake Bell, specifically, has teamed up with Fantagraphics to remind all of us that Steve Ditko matters, thanks to their line of Ditko-focused art books and reprints of long-forgotten masterpieces.
That's all a long lead-in to a simple fact: I read 2010's DC Comics release The Creeper by Steve Ditko and I liked it.
(click image to enlarge)
Ditko isn't the credited scripter on all of the stories collected in this volume, and the tone shifts around a bit depending on who fills in the word balloons, but the underlying stories are of the odd and unusual Ditko variety. When Denny O'Neil (under his own name or under the pseudonym Sergius O'Shaghnessy) writes the dialogue, the Creeper stories become a bit more crime-and-revenge oriented. When Michael Fleisher writes the script for the Creeper's appearance in First Issue Special #7, a third-rate Batman villain becomes the subject of mockery and the whole story takes on an air of ironic confidence. When Ditko writes the Creeper backups in World's Finest Comics, the strip becomes a freakshow gallery, like a bounding Dick Tracy lineup. His run ends with "Furious Fran and the Dagger Lady," and what's interesting about the Dagger Lady is that she has dozens of daggers strapped to her body, including two attached to her head, and she throws them. Hard. It's silly and wonderful and Ditko seems interested only in amusing the audience and nothing more.
But he does it his way. There's nothing commercial about any of the comics in this collection. The Creeper is an unattractive, almost accidentally heroic protagonist. He does punch out plenty of criminals, but only because he's there and punching is what needs to be done. He's no altruistic knight in yellow body paint. Nor is he a justice-bound avenger. He's just a reporter who doesn't do much reporting and gets caught up in weird activities mostly because everyone in the world seems to want to cause trouble in and around the television station. So he presses his magic button and turns into the Creeper, cackling weirdo of…whatever is in front of him.
Perhaps Steve Ditko's Creeper stories show his rejection of traditional superhero tropes, and his celebration of the odd creatures who lurk at the fringes of society. That may be it. But they don't seem to even have that much on their mind. Instead, the Creeper stories are about off-beat, jaunty enthusiasm for action over inaction. They are about colorful characters doing colorful things, via the mind of Steve Ditko circa 1968. In that proto-alt-comics kind of way.
The Creeper by Steve Ditko is on sale now in finer comics shops and bookstores.

Samit Patel's 18th first class century and a significant milestone for Andre Adams were the highlights as Nottinghamshire turned around their fortunes on the second day of their LV= county championship match against Warwickshire at Trent Bridge.
Patel made 117 out of a total of 359 and then Adams picked up his 300th wicket for the county as the visitors closed on 27 for two, still 35 behind.
Having arrived at the crease to face a hat-trick delivery on the first evening Patel was understandably pleased to have made a major contribution in his side's comeback.
"To have them two down by stumps has put us in a really good position." Samit Patel
"I'm pretty happy with the way I batted," he said. "I didn't give a chance, so hopefully Mick (Newell) will be pleased too. I hadn't scored a home championship hundred for around two years so it was nice to get one, as I've been getting my big scores away from Trent Bridge recently.
"I'm obviously pleased for myself but it's more important for the team. We've come back from 14-3 overnight and done a good job – to have them two down by stumps has put us in a really good position."
Adams scored a typically swashbuckling 46 to take Notts into a first innings lead, then claimed the crucial wicket of Varun Chopra to pick up his 300th first class wicket for the county.
"It's a nice landmark to reach," he said. "I didn't realise I was that close but had looked at the start of the season and knew it was within reach.
"Since then I've had so many injuries and my appearances have been sporadic so it's been more important to get myself fit and out on the park than worry about milestones.
"It was nice to get Varun because he's such a good player and been batting really well but it was just reasonably straight and he made one wrong decision at the end of a long day."
Resuming on their overnight 14 for three Notts needed the stability of a lengthy partnership between Steven Mullaney and Samit Patel and the pair obliged.
Patel twice nicked the bowling between the slip cordon and gully for four but his fortune was more than matched by the elegance of his driving – peppering the cover boundary on his way to a half century from 83 balls.
Mullaney (28) punched Maurice Chambers down the ground for his first scoring shot of the day but departed in unconventional fashion after a stand of 68, lifting Steffan Piolet straight into the hands of Chambers at third man.
David Hussey set about the bowling with relish, striking five boundaries and a two in his first 22 runs but on the stroke of lunch he nibbled at a Chris Woakes away-swinger and nicked a catch to Jamie Atkinson, substitute wicketkeeper for the injured Peter McKay.
Patel and Riki Wessels made the most of the excellent conditions during the heart of the afternoon, repeatedly punching the ball to the boundary as their stand materialised 101.
Patel's fourth first class ton of the summer – and third in the championship – arrived to a huge ovation, from 162 balls (15x4).
He then unleashed a flurry of shots, passing 1,000 runs for the season, before nicking Darren Maddy to Piolet at slip, via a huge deflection off the 'keeper's glove.
Chris Read's woes continued. The Notts skipper batted for half an hour and faced 26 balls but failed to get off the mark before steering Chambers to Maddy at backward point.
Wessels moved on to his first half century of the season (104 balls 7x4) as Notts reached tea just 43 behind.
A wonderfully athletic piece of fielding from Woakes eventually made the next breakthrough, scoring with a direct hit to run Wessels out for 77.
That was the cue for Adams to begin his assault on the Bears' attack, booming two huge sixes and six boundaries in a 26-ball stay of 46.
The onslaught included a savage mauling of the second new ball as 29 came from the first two overs with it. A spiralling catch in the deep gave Warwicks their final bowling point but by then Notts had reached 350.
Shahzad (28) became Chambers' fourth victim but Notts had garnered a healthy lead by that stage.
Luke Fletcher knocked back Ian Westwood's (2) off stump and then Chopra (7) went lbw to Adams without playing a shot.


text: It is the ratio of speed to size that matters. I created what I call a Forty Freak Score. It attempts to scale up to compare bigger players with a 200 lbs player that runs a 4.4 forty. Anything over Zero is similar to a player that weights 200 lbs running faster than a 4.4 forty. A negative number is similar to a player that weighs 200 lbs running slower than a 4.4 forty. It is the last column on the right. IMO, measureables are useful for differentiating players with similar demonstrated performance on the field. It's like having an extra scouting report.

What does this program measure?
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is measured in parts per billion (ppb).
How does this program work?
Carbon Monoxide is measured via gas chromatograph and hot mercuric oxide detection.
|Carbon Monoxide Instruments
|Trace Analytical RGA3 reduction gas Analyzer no. R5
|2.5-L glass flask AIRKIT pump unit
|2 pair/week
|2.5-L glass flasks,MAKS pump unit

Why is this research important?
Carbon Monoxide (CO) plays an important role in atmospheric chemistry.
Are there any trends in the data?
Carbon Monoxide is highly variable in the atmosphere, meaning there are periods of increase and periods of decrease.
How does this program fit into the big picture?
What is it's role in global climate change?
CO has an indirect greenhouse effect. Changes in CO affect the chemistry of the atmosphere, impacting the removal of Methane (CH4) and other radiative gases.
The NOAA ESRL GMD Carbon Cycle-Greenhouse Gases group (CCGG) conducts research to understand the global carbon cycle and its effects on climate. At CCGG measurements are made to determine baseline levels, trends and causes of variability of several atmospheric gases (carbon dioxide, methane and carbon monoxide), that have the potential to affect global climate.
To obtain detailed understanding of the short term as well as long term variations of the greenhouse gases, CCGG makes on-site measurements at the four NOAA/ESRL/GMD baseline observatories, which are far from any pollution sources affecting the gases of interest.

And thanks also to Garrick, who also asked me to upgrade. My problem with this solution is that there is no version 3.2.6p14 or more exactly: There are too many of them.

With more than a dozen Linux clusters, how can I easily see what I have installed on a specific cluster? I do not like the idea that two different software distributions have the same name.

Caribana will get a special present for its 44th birthday: A new moniker.
The mid-summer Caribbean festival must change its name following a ruling by the Ontario Superior Court last Thursday. The festival can no longer call itself Caribana because it is trademarked by a group that founded the event but no longer runs it.
In 2006, the city and province cut funding to Caribana after organizers failed to produce adequate financial statements. That year, the Caribbean Cultural Committee (CCC), which started the event in 1967, transferred control to the Festival Management Committee (FMC). After the transfer, the festival was officially called the Toronto Caribbean Carnival.
Chris Alexander, chief administrative officer of the Festival Management Committee,
the FMC was given permission to use the Caribana name by Charlie Roach, then chair of the CCC.
But the court ruled the Caribana trademark belongs to the Caribana Arts Group, successor of the founding organization.
The festival's current organizers plan to announce a new name next Wednesday.
This year's festival runs July 14 to Aug. 1, and is expected to attract more than one million festival goers.

This is a hole in the wall place with good beer served in proper glasses. Steep prices for Prague. This really get the feeling that you are back to communist days or the beginning of the last century. Tables are old and worn. An archaic wall painting from when the place opened and no more decoration. Still this is a place to go and enjoy good beer and talk to friends. No disturbing music or TV.

BlackHaddock (602) , England | October 12, 2014
Visited for the second time: 5th Oct 2014. Not really worth seeking out unless you are in that area of Prague doing your sightseeing bit. Basic single roomed, small hall. two beers on tap and bits of food. Seems original and authentic, pleasant, quiet (on both our visits, some 15 years apart) and a good resting point if you've walked up from the river staring at buildings and views all morning.
Camons (596) Hasselager, Denmark | April 25, 2014
Old school Czech pub, tank Urquell and Kozel. Rather crowded, more locals than tourists it looked. No english spoken, but then again how much do you need to order a glass of beer. Cheap prices and good beer.
MonMadsen (126) , Denmark | January 22, 2014
Visited July 2012. This is the epitome of a local bar. Two old men as waiters, one man pours the beers, the other man serves them! No advertising for the bar, so we walked by several times!!! Dark benches and tables, very small, very cosy. If you visit the castle, come here for a couple of pints.
Lore (147) Budapest, Hungary | December 8, 2012
quite good place in Prague
geauxT (76) Virginia | August 31, 2012
(visited in in July 2009 and 2012) One of the most atmospheric and authentic places I have ever supped beer in. Walked in with friend as it opened and had a beer in 45 secs. Did not eat; VERY limited food menu. No noise other than talking and the thud of beer glasses landing on your table. Kozel beer (tankovs sytle) is the thing to have here. Prices are kept low b/c it is "owned" by a group who want the locals to come not the mass of tourist hordes. Do not go mess this place up.
gnoff (657) Mölndal, Sweden | August 4, 2012
Have visted on and off over the years. As a tourist you are more or less tolerated by the staff, who seems to enjoy their local patrons more than the occasional thirsty tourist. Very genuine place though, and very nice to find one such as this in the more touristy parts of town, instead of heading more to the suburps that I'm more used to doing. Haven't eaten here, not sure I'd try, but you can get nice beers at low prices in a Czech style pub atmosphere frequented more by Czech than tourists. Nice to swing by after visiting the monastary brew pub, before getting the tram back to town.
Bryne (763) Bryne, Norway | March 3, 2012
Hardly any tourists, only "grumpy old men" serving and drinking Kozel beer. I like that! I am not a big fan of the bottled Kozel beers, but here you get excellent Kozel Tankova - fresh and unpasteurised. (Visited 22nd February 2012)
Erasmus_ro (202) Alabama | November 2, 2011
I was in Prague during summer 2008 and this place became a favorite haunt of ours. One of the few places we found that served Kozel at the time. Their svetly right off the draft was divine at the time, so much better than the canned stuff abroad. I was just a beer novice at the time, but anyways. A very nice, classic Czech beerhouse atmosphere with excellent and quick service though not a word of English was spoken I think. Selection of course wasn't very good. Food was very simple and not that great. Very cheap though. Two euros bought you a filling plate of sausage and potatoes as well as the svetly (or cerne if that was your choice) to go with it.

Aminaftone Enhances Iloprost Beneficial Effects in Patients with Systemic Sclerosis and Recurrent Ulcers
Scorza, Raffaella, Caronni, Monica, Santaniello, Alessandro, Toussoun, Karen, Beretta, Lorenzo
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) and adhesion molecules overexpression plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of vascular remodelling that characterizes systemic sclerosis (SSc). Indirect observations indicate that ET-1 is relevant in the pathogenesis of digital ulcers (DU) in scleroderma subjects. Treatment of digital ulcers in SSc patients is challenging as in many patients they tend to be chronic and relapse and largely affect the quality of life, in spite of efficacious pharmacological treatment like prostanoids and the dual ET-1 receptor blocker. In this study we investigated whether aminaftone that downregulates in vitro ET-1 (1) production and ex vivo expression of endothelial adhesion molecules (2) should favour ulcers' healing in SSc patients with recurrent and/or refractory ulcers resistant to cyclic iloprost treatment.
Thirteen patients referring to our outpatient clinic (11 females and 2 males) with diagnosis of SSc according to ACR criteria where included in this study. Five patients had a diagnosis of dcSSc, 8 a diagnosis of lcSSc. Mean age ± s.d. was 54 ± 10 years (range 3569); disease duration (mean ± s.d.) was 9 ± 5 years. All the patients had chronic and/or recurrent digital ulcers (number of active ulcers/patients 2,43 ± 1,02) in spite of the chronic treatment with cyclic iloprost (2ng/kg/min for 8 hrs every 4 weeks). Iloprost treatment duration (mean ± s.d.) was 6 ± 1 years (range 59). All the patients had careful information about aminaftone, its usual therapeutical use in capillary disorders and gave informed consent to the treatment with oral aminaftone (75 mg t.i.d.), in addition to cyclic iloprost treatment. The duration of the aminaftone treatment was 12 months. The effect of aminaftone in enhancing Iloprost effect was analyzed by Students' T-test for paired samples.
The addition of aminaftone to cyclic Iloprost treatment in patients with refractory/relapsing digital ulcers favoured the healing (number of ulcers pre- and post-treatment: 2,43 ± 1,02 Vs 1,29 ± 0,61, p<0.005).
These results show that aminaftone is able to increase the beneficial effects of iloprost in the management of digital ulcers secondary to SSc, supposedly by its capability to reduce ET-1 production and adhesion molecule expression. Further randomized study are needed to confirm whether this cheap and well tolerated drug is effective in association with conventional therapy to favour the healing of digital ulcers.

Satisfaction With Health Status Is Consistent Around The World, Report Gallup CEO Jim Clifton And Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich
Despite considerable socioeconomic gaps and widely divergent levels of national health spending, people around the world express remarkably consistent levels of satisfaction with their personal health, according to findings from the Gallup World Poll published today in a Health Affairs Web Exclusive. Authors Jim Clifton, CEO of the Gallup Organization, and Newt Gingrich, founder of the Center for Health Transformation, also say that satisfaction with health status increases with household income relative to others in the same region. "Those in the lowest income bracket in the United States earn on average nearly six times as much as those in the middle bracket in sub-Saharan Africa, yet they are much less likely to give favorable responses regarding their personal health," they observe.

Melatonin - Sublingual (2.5mg) Description from Source Naturals
Melatonin is a neurohormone produced in humans by the pineal gland. A favorite of travelers, it governs the body's circadian rhythms. Melatonin is also a potent antioxidant.
Manufacturer's Directions
One tablet approximately 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime; one half tablet may be sufficient for some people. Do not take more than two tablets daily unless recommended by your physician.
I think these work great for sleep and are easier to absorb.
If you are considering trying melatonin lozenges, you should know that
melatonin is best used on a consistent nightly basis by people over 40 who have had sleep difficulties for an extended period of time. It's not something you can use effectively on an occasional basis or something that people under 35 generally need or use.
Why lozenges? I have found that the melatonin lozenges work better for me than melatonin capsules or tablets, but this is won't be true for everyone.
Source Natural's Melatonin Lozenges are the leading brand of melatonin lozenge, and they come in several potencies; 1 mg, 2.5 mg and 5 mg. I used the 2.5 mg peppermint lozenge and found, with some experimentation, that I need 2 of those 5 mg for the best results. If you don't care for Peppermint, it's also available in Orange flavor.
The product couldn't be easier to use. Small, white lozenges about the size of a lentil that you are advised to take 30-60 minutes before bedtime. I just leave the bottle on the nightstand so I don't forget to take them.
Determining the best dose is tricky with melatonin – the effective dose varies widely between people, even people the same age. There's really no way to determine ahead of time what dose of melatonin would be best for you. You have to experiment over the course of a few nights.
A good starting point would be to use 1 mg for every decade of life. So a person who is 40 would start with around 4 mg per night (one and a half lozenges) and then increase the dose by about 1mg per night (half a lozenge) as they monitor the results of each dose. Paradoxically, some people respond more to smaller doses than larger doses, so be prepared to use lower and higher doses over the course of a week or two. I wouldn't go above 10 mg unless directed by a doctor to do so. Most people will get the best results somewhere between .5 mg to 8 mg.

text: Posted July 31, 2012 Exactly. Quoting a conspiracy website to support your ridiculous claims do not make then any more logical or real. What do you make of the connection between Holmes and his father's involvement in the uncovering of the LIBOR scandal? Do you really think this is a matter of coincidence? So far the evidence cited in this thread would suggest otherwise. And speaking of logic...I wouldnt say its very logical to write-off a concept and its evidence without giving any of it a thorough looking into...no offense or anything...but wouldnt you agree?

Have Medical Questions? Ask a Doctor Online!
I am online and happy to help you with your question today.
Other than the headache, do you have any other symptoms?
Does this lump move a bit? Does it hurt at all?
he is not saying much, but i can tell it really hurts to move his head, it is squishy. he really is straining when he moves his neck.
Why is he not saying much?
he never does. just painful, he has worked the past three days, so he is tolerating it, and comes home to rest
Any nausea, vomiting, anything else at all?
no, not any, just lots of pain
could it be a cyst?
Has he ever had a headache like this before.
It could be a lipoma, a lymph node or, as you mentioned, a cyst.
no, he has high blood pressure so has headaches but not like this, in the 5 years i have known him, never
In any event I do not believe that this is the cause of his ongoing headache.
the lump?
Well, in my opinion a headache that is this severe that goes on for this long -- especially in a patient who does not have history of migraines etc -- should be evaluated.
Yes. The lump.
is the lump scary, or maybe if a cyst, can they drain that?
The question at this point is would he rather go to the ER tonight or see his doctor in the morning. From what you have posted, it doesn't seem to be a "true" emergency, but the ER would be able to rule out the majority of serious causes and give him medication to make him feel better tonight.
would ice or heat help?
Ice would be best at this point.
Our posts seem to be getting mixed up inside the computers tummy :)
okay, thank you for your time and advice tonight.
My pleasure. I hope he feels better soon.
I hope this information was helpful for you. But I do work for tips so I want to make sure you are happy with me before rating me. If you have another question on this or a related issue feel free to fire away. And please let me know if the rating system gives you any troubles. Thanks in advance, Dr. Rick
My pleasure.

About the Creator
With more than 50 years of photographic experience, taking pictures has always fascinated me. At 12 I began developing my own film in a makeshift darkroom. By the time I was 30; I owned and operated a photographic supply store and a small studio, which I used for portraits and commercial photography. I performed custom developing and printing for businesses in both B&W and color negative medias. I also provided same day, in-house processing which was not as common then as it is currently. Today I use the most modern equipment available and have taken the latest classes in the new technology, to produce fine quality artwork. I specialize in nature and environmental photography. I have photographed people and nature all over the world, but I prefer to capture the scenic beauty of America. Please visit my web site at www.LYPhotography.com for a complete overview of my work.

pulsatilla, Caulophyllin and Podophyllin are the three medicines that are most certain to effect this object.
pulsatilla is the proper medicine to palliate and regulate the symptoms.
pulsatilla, pul-sa-til′a, n. the pasque-flower, Anemone pulsatilla.
If there is paleness and faintness, pulsatilla is the remedy, especially if the forehead is principally affected.
Should the eruption subside suddenly, give Bryonia with pulsatilla until it reappears.
In females or children who have habitual nose-bleed, pulsatilla and Podophyllin are to be used alternately, night and morning.
In scrofulous persons, whether there is ulceration or not, Phosphorus and pulsatilla are the remedies.
In females when there is uterine disease, pulsatilla and Macrotin are the remedies to be used, as directed above.
For a male, Nux Vom., and for a female, pulsatilla will generally afford immediate relief.
Should there be great fullness of the vessels of the head, or bleeding at the nose, Bryonia with pulsatilla are to be used.

Not the most ideal of locations to take photos from. Four people crammed rather tightly in each corner of the balloons basket with little room to swivel, let alone change a lens.

Flesh And Blood - Poem by Mona Lee Mesa
' Flesh And Blood' By: M.Mesa
My Little angel i gave u back to heaven
and the pain repeats 77 times 7.
I knew I was not ready but even then
I loved you from the moment ur life began.
Through an act of love you came to be
A sweet surprise for your dad and me.
You should have seen the look on his face
overcome with joy and quite amazed.
There was nothing He wanted more than you
in this moment his favorite dream came true
You were to be his everything
His joy His Life His very being
Unlike me Youre his first creation
Made of life and love and a blaze of passion.
He even built you a pedal stool in a sunny spot
with little steps to help you to the top.
and lined a path with the brightest colors
just to fill your world with love and wonder.
He worked harder than ever with more desire
he wanted to have all that you might require.
He spoke to you through the walls of my womb
Telling you a story of his love for you.
As brand new life on earth commence
at the moment when it all makes sense
He anticipated a day in the future
when his arms would hold his son or daughter.
yet Our Father seemed to have different plans
when he took you back into his hands.
And a river was crafted with tears that streamed
through the chest of a hopeful father to be.
I couldn't speak or think or see
past all the questions that stormed through me.
Why now why Him He would have been great
why me why us... were we just too late.
was there anything I could have done
to save my daughter or my son?
What have I done wrong? I screamed
to lose what meant the world to me.
Im sorry for anything I've done I swear
I'll Make it up.. just leave him here.
But nothing I could do or say
would convince the lord to let you stay.
Your in a Better place I know,
still It hurt so much to see you go.
We never got to caste our gaze
on your angelic lovely face.
...if in heaven we should meet one day
I'll know its you somehow someway.
My angel, If your not so very far
and you can see us from where you are,
Heres a great big hug and infinite kisses
from daddy mommy and 3 little misses.
Please, for your family you must pray
and watch your sisters as they play.
Let daddy know you see him too
He loves you more than he knows how to.
I miss you my angel
this is not the end
you'll stay in my heart
until I see you again.
Mommy Loves You, Micael 12/2009-02/2010
