The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state and local officials have been investigating outbreaks of cyclosporiasis in the United States.
On September 16, 2015, the CDC reported that the numbers of reported cases of cyclosporiasis in the United States have returned to baseline levels.
Clusters of illness were identified in Texas, Wisconsin, and Georgia. The FDA; the Texas Rapid Response Team; Texas Department of State Health Services; the Wisconsin Department of Health Services; the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection; the Georgia Rapid Response Team; and the Georgia Department of Public Health collaborated on traceback investigations related to these illness clusters. These investigations found that cilantro from the state of Puebla, Mexico was supplied to restaurants at which people identified in the illness clusters ate, suggesting that some illnesses in these states may be linked to fresh cilantro from Puebla, Mexico.
The vehicles of infection for non-cluster-associated cases have not been identified..
What was the Problem and What was Done About It?
As of September 14, 2015, CDC had been notified of 546 ill people with confirmed cyclosporiasis from 31 states in 2015.
- Clusters of illness were identified in Texas, Wisconsin, and Georgia. Most (319, 58 percent of 546) ill people experienced onset of illness on or after May 1, 2015, and did not report international travel within two weeks before illness onset. These 319 people were from the following states: Arkansas (3), California (2), Connecticut (5), Florida (13), Georgia (26), Illinois (9), Iowa (1), Kansas (2), Maryland (1), Massachusetts (12), Michigan (2), Missouri (1), Montana (3), Nebraska (1), New Jersey (7), New Mexico (2), New York (32), North Carolina (1), Texas (179), Utah (1), Virginia (3), Washington (2), Wisconsin (11).
Clusters of illnesses were identified in Texas, Wisconsin, and Georgia. The FDA; the Texas Rapid Response Team; Texas Department of State Health Services; the Wisconsin Department of Health Services; the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection; the Georgia Rapid Response Team; and the Georgia Department of Public Health have collaborated on traceback investigations related to these illness clusters. These investigations found that cilantro from the state of Puebla, Mexico was supplied to restaurants at which people identified in the illness clusters ate, indicating that some illnesses in these states were linked to fresh cilantro from Puebla, Mexico. As of September 16, 2015, the CDC reported that case numbers have returned to baseline levels.
The CDC and state public health officials have identified annually recurring outbreaks (in 2013 and 2014) of cyclosporiasis in the United States which have been associated with fresh cilantro from the state of Puebla, Mexico. Although not confirmed by epidemiological means, the FDA reviewed a cluster of Cyclosporiasis illnesses from 2012 in which the state of Texas had previously identified cilantro as one of multiple possible suspect vehicles. The FDA determined that cilantro from the state of Puebla, Mexico, was supplied to the point of service implicated in that outbreak and was one potential source of the 2012 outbreak.
The FDA and the government of Mexico's National Agro-Alimentary Health, Safety and Quality Service (SENASICA) and Federal Commission for the Protection from Sanitary Risks (COFEPRIS) are enhancing the safety of fresh cilantro with produce safety controls on both sides of the border.
The controls implemented by COFEPRIS and SENASICA incorporate a system for risk reduction, including export controls, for cilantro from the state of Puebla. On July 27, 2015, the FDA implemented a supportive framework of import controls to detain without physical examination shipments of fresh cilantro from the state of Puebla from April 1, 2015, through August 31, 2015, as well as this time period in ensuing years. This April through August time period aligns with the seasonality of previous cyclosporiasis outbreaks.
Shipments of fresh cilantro from other states in Mexico will be allowed to enter and be released into the United States if sufficient documentation is submitted at entry demonstrating that the cilantro was harvested and packed outside of Puebla. Additionally, the FDA, COFEPRIS, and SENASICA are working collaboratively to prepare a "Green List" of companies in Puebla whose shipments of fresh cilantro will not be detained.
What is Cyclospora?
Cyclospora cayetanensis is a microscopic parasite, which is too small to be seen without a microscope. This parasite, when it contaminates food or water and is then ingested, can cause an intestinal illness called cyclosporiasis.
Cyclospora is acquired by people ingesting something—such as food or water—that was contaminated with the parasite. The Cyclospora parasite needs time (days to weeks) after being passed in a bowel movement to become infectious for another person. Therefore, it is unlikely that cyclosporiasis is passed directly from one person to another.
For more information on Cyclospora: http://www.cdc.gov/parasites/cyclosporiasis/
Who is at Risk?
People can become infected with Cyclospora by consuming food or water contaminated with the parasite. People living or traveling in countries where cyclosporiasis is endemic, including certain tropical or subtropical regions of the world, may be at increased risk for infection.
What are the Symptoms?
The time between becoming infected and becoming sick is usually about one week. Cyclospora infects the small intestine (bowel) and usually causes watery diarrhea, with frequent, sometimes explosive, bowel movements. Other common symptoms include loss of appetite, weight loss, stomach cramps/pain, bloating, increased gas, nausea, and fatigue. People may also experience vomiting, body aches, headache, low-grade fever, and other flu-like symptoms. Some people who are infected with Cyclospora do not have any symptoms. If not treated, the illness may last from a few days to a month or longer. Symptoms may seem to go away and then return one or more times (relapse). It's common to feel very tired.
What do Consumers Need to Do?
Consumers who are concerned about the source of their cilantro should ask their retailer where the cilantro they're purchasing is from. If consumers are concerned about the source of their cilantro, they should discard it.
Cooking or heating at high temperature will kill most pathogens, including parasites such as Cyclospora, and thus significantly reduces the likelihood of illness. This holds true for any produce that may contain Cyclospora. Washing or cleaning processes may not be sufficient to eliminate the pathogen.
Who should be Contacted?
Contact your healthcare provider if you have diarrhea that lasts for more than three days.
The FDA encourages consumers with questions about food safety to call 1-888-SAFEFOOD or consult the fda.gov website: www.fda.gov.

I'm 20 and there's this older woman in one of my college classes, blond hair (I like brunettes normally), and her face is OK, reasonably attractive, and she's a thicker woman, but nothing out of the ordinary for a woman her age, I wouldn't say she's fat. but her breasts are quite sizable as well.
I'd say she's in her 40s, looks to be a put-together woman, but this never happens to me and it's strange. I can't help but look at her in class. Any ideas? Thanks
Most Helpful Guy
Ah don't worry about it, I found myself doing that as well... I've even liked a woman who was nearing 50, but she honestly looked mid thirties at most. Nothing wrong with liking older women, although most women by then are married or are in serious relationships, don't know how many look for toy boys.00|00|0
Nah I means it's harmless... It's not like it's a serious crush or anything lol. but still I just find it interesting that I admire this woman for some reason.
I found it interesting when I liked someone who was nearly 50 when I'm only 20 lmao Still I'm not the only one... I've known other guys who like the same woman lmao
Haha that's pretty funny. like I said to the other person that posted... I might be attracted to her more because of her maturity and such or something, she is pretty nice to look at, but many women are young and old. its just one of those times when you wonder just exactly what it is for admiring someone specifically over others.

Okay.... I feel like an idiot, and I don't know if it's the game glitching out or what, but all I can do on here is turn a lit cigarette. How do I get past that part? I'd give it a good rating if I could actually play it.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I think that people need to be made aware of the double jump. I was stuck on the second screen for a while, until I accidentally figured it out. Other than that, this was a pretty decent game. The smoke effect was good. Now I need a smoke!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Alright lets get down to business this took me a couple hours to beat so I want to be able to properly review it.
Good Points
1. Gorgeous graphics and beautiful pictures. One of the things that really kept me playing was the amazing storyline and how the drawings synced with the gameplay was elegant.
2. Realistic and believable characters. The characters were wonderful. Their personalities complimented each other and the aspect of real problems added a lot of depth. Someone obsessed with gaming and fantasy, A drug addict, Smoking issues and not being able to get out of a bad relationship. It brought a sense of peace and I really felt like I grew to know them.
3. Twists and surprises, I was not expecting what happened to happen to the old man and had grown very attached to him myself not to mention the main character...it was beautiful, sad...painful a wonderful story.
Bad points:
1. The level where you have no control over the jump button until your in mid air. I had issues with the smoke circles yes but THIS level was the most painful for me. You had the yellow circle behind a pipe which made it almost impossible to properly hit while multitasking by jumping in mid air and pressing the the mouse button at the correct time. This caused me a lot of heartache and I spent and extremely long time JUST on that level.
2. In some ways the ending was gorgeous..where it showed how our main character passing. Because I had played the first game I understood. Although the way it showed Jack afterward still left me slightly puzzled. I understand he had issues with drugs but I really wanted him to see the realization of what happened.
All in all I think you deserve almost a perfect five. The issue I had may of been frustrating but it may be my issue alone and wasn't nearly enough to ruin the wonderful experience.
Personally if you made a graphic novel or even a short story I'd read it first thing. Since you really have a way with plot. Thank you for the game, art, music, life lesson and time killer.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I love that many artists are starting to realize that flash games can still elicit emotions, and this is a beautiful example. The dialogue, music, graphics and gameplay all contribute to the overall tone of the story. The smoke is a very unique and and visually appealing gameplay element, while still very easy to use, although the smoke ring timing could get slightly annoying on time based puzzles. Overall, this game is a work of art, with an excellent concept and execution.
Oh and if you want the music click on thedavidcarney's profile link.
Thanks so much!

Rated 5 / 5 stars
Truly an epic in indie gaming. This is a masterpiece. Thank you for making this beautiful game.
Thanks for such kind words!

Sacral Nerve Stimulation
What do I need to know about sacral nerve stimulation?
Sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) is treatment for urinary retention without blockage, overactive bladder symptoms, and fecal incontinence. Overactive bladder symptoms include urinary urge incontinence and urinary frequency. Electrical impulses are sent directly to the sacral nerves to improve or restore bladder or bowel function. Sacral nerves are in your lower back. They control your anus, rectum, and bladder functioning. SNS is done when medicine and behavior therapy are not effective.
What will happen during SNS?
SNS is a two-part procedure:
- The first part is a trial phase to see if it will improve your symptoms. A temporary or permanent lead is placed into your lower back, through to your sacral nerves, for 3 days to 2 weeks. The lead is connected to an external stimulator. Electrical impulses will stimulate your sacral nerves. You will be asked to write down your symptoms and bladder or bowel function.
- The second part involves implanting the stimulator. Your healthcare provider will complete this part if you had a decrease in symptoms during the trial phase. He will make an incision on the side of your upper buttock. A space is made just under your skin and the stimulator is connected to a permanent lead. Then, the stimulator is placed in the space and the space is closed with stitches. You will be given a programming device to adjust and turn the stimulator off and on as needed.
What are the risks of SNS?
You can have pain, discomfort and infection in the area where the stimulator was implanted. You may have an allergic reaction to the materials that the lead or stimulator is made from. You may have pain or feel a shock during stimulation. The lead may move and you may need to have the procedure done again. You cannot have an MRI of your abdomen or pelvis if you have a stimulator implanted. An MRI can cause the leads to heat up and cause problems with your stimulator. You may set off metal detectors at airports or theft detectors in stores.
Contact your healthcare provider if:
- You have pain at the stimulator site.
- You have a fever and the stimulator site is red and warm to the touch.
- Your symptoms return or get worse.
- You have new pain or new symptoms with stimulation.
- You feel like you are being shocked with the stimulator on or off.
- Tell all of your healthcare providers that you have an implanted sacral nerve stimulation device.
- Keep the card that identifies you have an implanted stimulator, with you at all times.
- Keep the programming device with you at all times.
- Limit activity such as stretching and lifting. Ask your healthcare provider how long you need to limit activity.
- Write down your symptoms. Ask your healthcare provider how to complete the diary of symptoms.
Follow up with your healthcare provider as directed:
You will need regular visits to monitor your symptoms. Your healthcare provider will also need to check the programming of your device. Bring your diary with symptoms. Write down your questions so you remember to ask them at your visit.

Chip breakthrough adds
more years to Moore's Law
LIVERMORE, Calif. (AP)
The silicon chip the foundation of the high-tech industry for decades
got a new lease on life as researchers unveiled a machine that can squeeze more
circuits into each wafer. If successful outside the lab, the technology, unveiled
Wednesday, will ensure chipmakers can maintain the growth in processing power
that has driven computer sales over the past 30 years.
1965, Intel co-founder Gordon Moore said the number of transistors on a chip would
double every 18 months. So far, Moore's Law has held true.
some had feared the industry quickly was approaching the physical limits of silicon,
with each new chip that shrinks the size and increases the number of transistors.
are printed into microchips using a technique called lithography. Light passes
through a mask of the chip design and is projected onto the silicon wafer. Light-sensitive
chemicals then etch in the desired pattern.
Using today's
technique of deep ultraviolet lithography, manufacturers can print circuits as
small as .1 micron, or one-thousandth the width of a human hair. Under current
rates of innovation, the limits of what can be printed would be reached in 2004
or 2005.
The new machine, using a process called extreme
ultraviolet lithography, reduces the size of features on silicon to at least .03
microns. With that, the number of transistors on a chip could continue to expand
under Moore's Law until about 2010.
"The completion
of the prototype machine marks a major milestone for the program, since we have
proven that EUV lithography works," said Chuck Gwyn, manager of the EUV LLC, a
consortium of chipmakers.
The key to the new technology
is the length of the light wave. Because extreme ultraviolet light has a shorter
wavelength, smaller features can be etched into silicon.
the invisible light waves pose new problems: They can be absorbed by air and lenses
typically used to focus patterns onto chips. As a result, the process occurs in
a vacuum and mirrors are used to focus the light.
technology behind the prototype machine at Sandia National Laboratories will be
transferred to chip manufacturers. The first EUV-developed processors estimated
to be 10 times more powerful than today's fastest chips are expected in
It already has produced features on wafers many
times smaller than the current technology, said Sunlin Chou of Intel's Technology
and Manufacturing Group.
"It has already fulfilled many
technical limitations and posed the question of not whether, but when, EUV lithography
will be in production," he said.
Basic research into
EUV began in the early 1990s at the Department of Energy's nuclear laboratories,
but Congress eliminated funding for the program in 1996.
the limits of current technology, several semiconductor companies led by Intel
stepped in and provided about $250 million to fund the program through 2002. Others
include Intel competitors Motorola and Advanced Micro Devices.
putting all their minds to work to solve a common problem," said Intel chief executive
Craig Barrett. "Once that problem is solved, we'll go out and beat each other
over the head in the marketplace."

Thaumasite is a silicate mineral with an unusual composition, Ca3Si(CO3)(SO4)(OH)6·12(H2O). It occurs as colorless to white prismatic hexagonal crystals, typically as acicular radiating groups. It also occurs as fibrous masses. Its Mohs hardness is 3.5 and it has a specific gravity of 1.88 to 1.90. Optically it is uniaxial negative with indices of refraction of nω = 1.507 and nε = 1.468.
It occurs as a hydrothermal alteration mineral in sulfide ore deposits and geothermal alteration of basalt and tuff. It occurs with zeolites, apophyllite, analcime, calcite, gypsum and pyrite.
Thaumasite can also be formed along with other calcium-silicate hydrates (CSH) during cement alteration, especially when sulfate attack develops.
It was first described in 1878 in Sweden and named from the Greek, "thaumazein", to be surprised, in reference to its unusual composition with carbonate, sulfate and hydroxysilicate anions.

Marl Business Hub
Since 2002 we have been based at Marl Business Park (pictured), our combined headquarters and manufacturing site.
Company History
The Beginning
- 1972 the company was formed by Brian Ainley from his home called Marl Park, Ulverston - hence the company name
- Originally the company distributed medical equipment and manufactured safety systems for the chemical industry
The '70s and '80s
- 1977 Our current Managing Director Adrian Rawlinson joined the company
- 1985 Marl moves into Stone Cross Mansion
- Late '70s, Marl begins the design and manufacture and packaging of LEDs, recognising that these products were required by the telecom and defence industries
- At this time the LED colour range was limited to red, green and amber and were only bright enough to be used as status indicators
- By end of the '70s Marl employed 9 staff
- Our core ranges were panel lamps, PCB mounting status indicators and some of the world's first miniature LED bulbs to replace filament bulbs in switches and control panels
- 1989 our staff numbers had quadrupled to approximately 40
Our core products in the late '70s
Stone Cross Mansion
The '90s
Side illumination panel for discreet information display for Eastman Kodak, Rochester, NY
This was the decade that primary manufacturing plants invested heavily in LED technology. Increasing their intensity and efficiency became subject to huge research programmes in Europe, USA, Japan and the Far East. Brighter and different colour LEDs and clusters were introduced
- Increasing involvement with Rail and Defence sectors
- Office opened in Nevada, USA
- By 1999 our workforce exceeds 100 employees
- Optosource formed - to source and distribute LEDs across the world.
- LEDs with higher levels of operating efficiency and extended colour range were introduced to Marl's product offer
- Blue and eventually white LEDs were manufactured once phosphor doping techniques were developed sufficiently to allow repeatable mass production of chip die.
- Marl was secured Eastman Kodak as a customer, leading to Marl supplying their dark room lighting requirements for their manufacturing plants on a global basis. This was one of the first environments to truly take advantage of LEDs being utilised as illuminators
- This led to the development of several ranges of products to suit specific applications.
- The introduction of cluster LED lamps, suitable for either low voltage or mains applications, (in USA, UK and Europe). Used extensively within Eastman Kodak, but also creating opportunities in other industrial applications.
A spot light track mounted variant of an LED Cluster
The 234 Series: Benefiting from our development work with liquid optics, this special radial LED display allows 360° viewing. Note the special key feature on top of the device to assist with installation and removal from the host housing assembly.
- At this point in the '90s Marl's core competencies were based on mechanical engineering; electrical engineering and an ever increasing need for sophistication of electronics and optics
- More emphasis given to optical engineering as an effective and efficient way of combining core competencies in the business to provide high quality, high reliability products
- An increasing degree of ruggedisation for operation in hazardous and environmentally unfriendly environments required
- By the mid 1990s, Marl was becoming increasingly involved with rail related indicator applications, for both track side and vehicle equipment. (Core products had already been used in control rooms since the '70s).
- London Underground becomes a key emerging customer for Marl and applications require a working environment with a controlled low ambient light condition, similar to Eastman Kodak requirements
- Marl look to the Aerospace industry and become involved with the conceptual design, development and proto-typing for both the Euro Fighter and Boeing 777 programmes.
Marl produced the first LED replacement in mainland Britain for a signal head.
The early '00s
Hutchison '3' display sign
- Market moves towards signs, displays and lighting. RGB and white LEDs improve in both intensity and performance characteristics and become sufficiently cost effective to be used in retail applications
- 2000 Optosign is formed to design and manufacture LED signs. Optosign's project for the Hutchison '3' display sign features 'waves' of changing colours
- 2001 Marl relocates within Ulverston to Marl Business Park, a 7 acre site providing 100,000 sq ft of manufacturing and office accommodation
Marl Business Park, Ulverston
The mid '00s
- 2005, The new Marl canteen opens featuring a combination of RGB colour change lighting and high intensity white task lighting
- 2006, CreativeArc is formed - launched to specialise in architectural LED lighting solutions.
- 2007, Marl Opto Inc. was formed as part of our expansion in the USA.
- A rapid growth in the LED lighting market brings further growth for Marl

Disraeli Gears is a Cream album inspired, produced, and released by Judeo-British veteran politician Benjamin Disraeli. It is about his gears - Disraeli gears, one might say. It is the best-selling album ever released in Israel, probably because it contains both "Israel" and "Israeli" in its name, though that's just a happy coincidence. Iran disagrees, though, and the album has been banned there for the next 2,473 years.
Most of the songs on Disraeli Gears were at least partly written by Mr. Disraeli, who is also responsible for the mad power chords. Stephen Colbert, soon to become the lead singer, songwriter, and guitarist for the band Stephen and the Colberts, is rumored to have made a guest appearance on the album to perform the guitar solo in the lead single, "Sunshine of Your Love"; in fact, he may have simply invented the entire guitar part for the song, including the classic riff.

While safety Ed Reed and center Matt Birk returned to practice today after sitting out Wednesday's session, defensive tackle Haloti Ngata and linebacker Terrell Suggs both missed their second straight day.
Ngata (thigh) and Suggs (knee) got another day of rest today, but defensive coordinator Greg Mattison confirmed that neither is in jeopardy of missing Sunday's playoff game against the Chiefs.
"They're boycotting. They don't like the cold weather," Mattison joked. "No, it's not a concern. They'll both be fine. It's us knowing where we are in the season, knowing we've had a lot of football games, and it's best to get them 100-percent rather than [having them] running around.
Reed (chest) was upgraded to limited participation today. Joining him in the "limited" category are linebacker Dannell Ellerbe (head), linebacker Tavares Gooden (shoulder), linebacker Jameel McClain (back), cornerback Josh Wilson (head), safety Tom Zbikowski (back).
Birk (knee) had a full practice today, as did wide receiver Derrick Mason (abs/ankle), offensive tackle Michael Oher (knee/ankle) and wide receiver David Reed (wrist).
For the Chiefs, wide receiver Dwayne Bowe, who missed practice yesterday with an illness, practiced in full today. That's big for Kansas City.
Offensive guard Brian Waters (illness) and wide receiver Quinten Lawrence (illness) both missed practice.

Some good scrutiny by members but Cabinet will be making a recommendation to the whole Council with a justification for rejecting the public's response. Though the one 'vote' in Stonnall to keep the chauffeur and car will be pleased. Let's hope that the whip isn't applied and a named vote recorded.
Can Lichfield Live get a comment from our MP whose vote for draconian cuts in LDC's funding has forced the council to look at this relatively small budget?

The Problem Wages are Stagnant as Prices Rise: While wages remain flat, the costs of basic necessities are increasing. The cost of in-state college tuition has grown 35 percent over the past five years. Health care costs have risen four times faster than wages over the past six years. And the personal savings rate is now the lowest it"s been since the Great Depression. Tax Cuts for Wealthy Instead of Middle Class: The Bush tax cuts give those who earn over $1 million dollars a tax cut nearly 160 times greater than that received by middle-income Americans. At the same time, this administration has refused to tackle health care, education and housing in a manner that benefits the middle class.
The Problem Millions of Americans are uninsured or underinsured because of rising medical costs: 47 million Americans — including nearly 9 million children — lack health insurance with no signs of this trend slowing down. Health care costs are skyrocketing: Health insurance premiums have risen 4 times faster than wages over the past 6 years. Too little is spent on prevention and public health: The nation faces epidemics of obesity and chronic diseases as well as new threats of pandemic flu and bioterrorism. Yet despite all of this less than 4 cents of every health care dollar is spent on prevention and public health.
The Problem No Child Left Behind Left the Money Behind: The goal of the law was the right one, but unfulfilled funding promises, inadequate implementation by the Education Department and shortcomings in the design of the law itself have limited its effectiveness and undercut its support. As a result, the law has failed to provide high-quality teachers in every classroom and failed to adequately support and pay those teachers. Students Left Behind: Six million middle and high school students read significantly below their grade level. A full third of high school graduates do not immediately go on to college. American 15 year olds rank 28th out of 40 countries in mathematics and 19th out of 40 countries in science. Almost 30 percent of students in their first year of college are forced to take remedial science and math classes because they are not prepared. High Dropout Rate: America has one of the highest dropout rates in the industrialized world. Only 70 percent of U.S. high school students graduate with a diploma. African American and Latino students are significantly less likely to graduate than white students. Teacher Retention is a Problem: Thirty percent of new teachers leave within their first five years in the profession. Soaring College Costs: College costs have grown nearly 40 percent in the past five years. The average graduate leaves college with over $19,000 in debt. And between 2001 and 2010, 2 million academically qualified students will not go to college because they cannot afford it. Finally, our complicated maze of tax credits and applications leaves too many students unaware of financial aid available to them.
Obama's comprehensive New Energy for America plan will: Provide short-term relief to American families facing pain at the pump Help create five million new jobs by strategically investing $150 billion over the next ten years to catalyze private efforts to build a clean energy future. Within 10 years save more oil than we currently import from the Middle East and Venezuela combined. Put 1 million Plug-In Hybrid cars -- cars that can get up to 150 miles per gallon -- on the road by 2015, cars that we will work to make sure are built here in America. Ensure 10 percent of our electricity comes from renewable sources by 2012, and 25 percent by 2025. Implement an economy-wide cap-and-trade program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 80 percent by 2050.
BARACK OBAMA'S PLAN TO SECURE AMERICA AND RESTORE OUR STANDING "I am running for President of the United States to lead this country in a new direction… Instead of being distracted from the most pressing threats that we face, I want to overcome them. Instead of pushing the entire burden of our foreign policy on to the brave men and women of our military, I want to use all elements of American power to keep us safe, and prosperous, and free. Instead of alienating ourselves from the world, I want America – once again – to lead… This must be the moment when we answer the call of history. For eight years, we have paid the price for a foreign policy that lectures without listening; that divides us from one another – and from the world – instead of calling us to a common purpose; that focuses on our tactics in fighting a war without end in Iraq instead of forging a new strategy to face down the true threats that we face. We cannot afford four more years of a strategy that is out of balance and out of step with this defining moment." — Barack Obama, Washington, D.C., July 15, 2008
The Problem Wounded Troops Suffer: The Walter Reed scandal showed that we don"t always provide returning service members with the care they deserve. Veterans Budget Shortfalls: In 2005, a multi-billion dollar VA funding shortfall required Congress to step in and bail out the system. Benefits Bureaucracy is Broken: There are currently more than 400,000 claims pending with the Veterans Benefits Administration. VA error rates have grown to more than 100,000 cases a year. There is Shortage of Care for PTSD: Veterans are coming home with record levels of combat stress, but we are not adequately providing for them.
A pro-growth, pro-jobs strategy to get our economy back on track. John McCain"s strategy includes taking the near-term actions needed to provide immediate help to American families while also taking the longer-term steps necessary to secure America"s economic prosperity and leadership in the world.
John McCain is willing to address the fundamental problem: the rapidly rising cost of U.S. health care. Bringing costs under control is the only way to stop the erosion of affordable health insurance, save Medicare and Medicaid, protect private health benefits for retirees, and allow our companies to effectively compete around the world.
Excellence, choice, and competition in American education. John McCain believes American education must be worthy of the promise we make to our children and ourselves. He understands that we are a nation committed to equal opportunity, and there is no equal opportunity without equal access to excellent education.
Our nation"s future security and prosperity depends on the next President making the hard choices that will break our nation"s strategic dependence on foreign sources of energy and will ensure our economic prosperity by meeting tomorrow"s demands for a clean portfolio.
The most sacred responsibility vested in a president - the commander in chief - is to "preserve and protect" American citizens. John McCain has the necessary vision and unrivaled experience to command the United States armed forces and adapt our nation"s defenses to the demands of a changing and dangerous world. John McCain believes it is strategically and morally essential for the United States to support the Government of Iraq to become capable of governing itself and safeguarding its people. The best way to secure long-term peace and security is to establish a stable, prosperous, and democratic state in Iraq. When Iraqi forces can safeguard their own country, American troops can return home. America owes its liberty, its prosperity, and its future to our veterans who have dedicated their lives to protecting our great country. John McCain has fought to honor our national commitment to our veterans who have given their careers and livelihoods to ensuring our freedom. He believes we must provide for service members and their families while they serve, we must help those who return from combat to adjust to civilian life, and we must honor and never forget the service of those who do not return.

There's no magic bullet for losing weight. The most effective way to lose weight and keep it off is through lifestyle changes. Eat a healthy low-calorie diet with lots of fruits and vegetables and be physically active. Weight-loss pills — prescription medicines, nonprescription drugs, herbal medicines or other dietary supplements — are all, at best, tools that may help with weight loss. But there is relatively little research about these products, and the best studied of these are prescription weight-loss drugs. For example, a 2014 study reviewed 21 long-term trials of prescription drugs for treating obesity. The researchers concluded that when a person makes appropriate lifestyle changes, a prescription weight-loss drug increases the likelihood of achieving "clinically meaningful" weight loss within a year.
Clinically meaningful weight loss — enough weight loss to begin lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other diseases — is generally defined as 5 percent or more of body weight. It's important to consider, however, that weight loss achieved in a research setting may be greater than in actual practice. Also, possible side effects and adverse reactions to weight-loss pills can affect the treatment outcome. A reasonable expectation, therefore, is that prescription weight-loss pills may be beneficial, but they won't be magical. They do not work for everyone, and their benefit may be modest. And researchers know much less about the potential benefits and risks of over-the-counter weight-loss products.

Southern Illinois pharmacy owner Tom Miller had to refinance his store to avoid bankruptcy while he waited on the state of Illinois to pay the money it owed him. "The state darn near destroyed us — destroyed me and almost destroyed other pharmacies," he says.
Miller, also a Methodist minister, says his faith helped him through the financial turmoil. "We stayed in business only through the grace of God." At one point Miller was waiting up to 270 days to be reimbursed for the Medicaid prescriptions he filled.
He has cut back on advertising and services to customers, such as offering in-store credit and unlimited free home deliveries, at his Marion store, which has been in business 17 years. "I have probably lost 25 percent of my business due to the state's business with me," Miller says. He adds that the stress of not getting state payments when about 65 percent of his business is customers on Medicaid has put a strain on his pharmacy, his marriage and his health.
Many independent pharmacy owners are weighing whether they can keep accepting Medicaid patients if Illinois continues to pay its bills late. Miller and others say it is unfair that the state, through irresponsible budget decisions, has passed such a difficult moral choice on to its vendors. "It's revolting," he says. "My heart hurts, but you cannot give everything to everybody."
Jay Koch's business did go bankrupt last fall. His United Science Industries, which was located near Mount Vernon and had employed as many as 100 people, worked with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to clean up leaking underground storage tanks. To cover the delay in state payments to his customers — which sometimes stretched nearly two years — he extended them credit. But along with tight credit from banks, interest rate charges ate up nearly one-fifth of his revenue, and he was forced to call it quits.
"There aren't any scruples about how the state deals with the business community," Koch says.
A pile of overdue bills is nothing new for Illinois. The state has struggled to keep up with payments for years. But a backlog of more than $3.5 billion is making the situation dire. At press time, Carol Knowles, spokeswoman for Comptroller Dan Hynes, says the oldest unpaid bill was from September 1. A report released by Hynes says that if drastic action isn't taken, Illinois will head into the next fiscal year with the largest amount of unpaid bills it has ever carried over from the previous fiscal year.
As with citizens who don't pay their bills, Illinois' credit rating is suffering. Moody's Investor Services downgraded the state's bond rating to the second lowest in the country, just above California. That means Illinois will have to pay higher interest rates on any loans it might take out to help catch up on late payments.
Those waiting for money from the state see the consequences daily. People working for those organizations, by and large, are trying to keep those in need safe, treat the sick, educate students and hang on to their jobs.
The recession has compounded the issue. Many nonprofit social service providers also are receiving less money in charitable donations.
The state of Illinois itself does very little of what people would consider social work. Most of it, ranging from care for the developmentally disabled and the elderly to foster care coordination to addiction counseling, is contracted to various organizations the state pays. Illinois is legally obligated to pay these providers. For some, the money from the state comprises the majority of their operating budgets.
Judith Gethner, Illinois Partners for Human Services coalition manager, says the directors of some social service organizations are using their personal credit cards to keep their operations afloat. Many others are taking out loans to pay their basic costs. Those lines of credit are not bottomless, and in some cases banks are not even willing to give loans. "When our collateral is the state money, they laugh at us," Gethner says.
Organizations that provide care to certain populations, such as the developmentally disabled, are required to maintain certain staff-to-client ratios. So if layoffs occur, waiting lists grow. According to Don Moss, coordinator of the Illinois Human Services Coalition, treatment centers for the developmentally disabled have waiting lists as long as 17,000 people. "No one new is getting in unless someone dies," he says.
Gethner says cuts in one area often shift costs elsewhere. "Our clients end up at the emergency room of the hospital. Please don't tell me the state doesn't pay one way or another because they do."
Mark Rossi, chief operating officer at Hopedale Medical Complex, says people are turning to emergency rooms for care in greater numbers because they do not have access to primary care doctors. He says that while emergency rooms must accept Medicaid patients, individual doctors aren't forced to. Many have opted out of the program to avoid the headache of extra paperwork and late payments. Rossi added that having to go to the emergency room for all of their health care "makes people feel like second-class citizens" and results in "higher cost, worse care."
Rossi says that is why the nursing home that is part of his health care complex stopped accepting Medicaid patients in 2001. He added that if the state doesn't start making payments more quickly for employee health care, doctors might soon turn away state workers as well. "At some point, some hospitals may say, 'We are sorry; we don't take [state insurance coverage].'"
Schools throughout Illinois are also feeling the pinch. A few are making sure their communities know the state is not paying them on time. The central Illinois districts of Tremont and LeRoy are displaying the amount the state owes them on signs outside their schools. Gary Tipsord, superintendent of LeRoy schools, says his district has a unique opportunity to inform the public. "By being a public school, we have the ear of our community," he says. "My public has got to know."
Like others awaiting their payments, school districts are taking out loans to cover operating expenses, making cuts and considering layoffs. Don Beard, superintendent of Tremont schools, says his district, which is owed more than $250,000, is considering laying off some aides and teachers. The district also might delay buying textbooks and computers. Tipsord says it is unfair for the state to shirk its financial obligations when local governments are keeping up their end of the deal. "They've paid their property tax. The community of LeRoy has done their part. They have done all that they can do."
Colleges also are scrambling to find ways to pay their bills. University of Illinois Interim President Stanley Ikenberry announced at a board of trustees meeting in Chicago that the university is considering increasing tuition by 9 percent to 18 percent. As of early February, the state owed the U of I more than $400 million.
The U of I has already laid off some staff and instituted a hiring freeze and furlough days, which are unpaid days off, as part of a plan to cut $82 million from its budget. "Furloughs are the very painful and highly visible last resort," university spokesman Thomas Hardy says.
Southern Illinois University has pledged not to make any layoffs before June. The state owes SIU $125 million. The school is seeking borrowing power from the legislature through Senate Bill 642. At present, public universities are not allowed to borrow to fund their operating budgets. "We think that we are at the end of our ability to raise tuition rates much, if any at all," SIU spokesman David Gross says.
Smaller state schools are cutting expenses such as travel and deferring maintenance, hiring and any large spending. However, many will still be weighing tuition increases when considering their budgets for the next fiscal year.
When the economy goes down, the demand for services goes up. Illinois community colleges are at their highest enrollment levels in more than a decade. More students mean more tuition revenue, but larger numbers also mean a greater demand for resources.
Judy Erwin, executive director of the State Board of Higher Education, says residents are returning to school because they have lost their jobs or are trying to get a competitive edge in a weak job market.
Rising unemployment rates have also sent more people to Illinois libraries to use the Internet for job searches. Families who have had to cut their budgets are heading to libraries to get books and movies for their kids. Yet, library systems are only receiving about 35 percent of the money they usually get from the state, says Joe Harris, executive director of the Shawnee Library System in Carterville.
Social service organizations also are experiencing increased demand. "When unemployment goes up, so does addiction and so does abuse," Gethner says.
Gov. Pat Quinn's budget director, David Vaught, says the state's mounting debt adds urgency to crafting the budget for the next fiscal year. "We're a debtor, and that's not a good thing." To get the budget back on track, the state needs to make cuts, raise taxes, borrow and get help from the federal government, according to Vaught.
In his State of the Union address, President Barack Obama called for a jobs bill that could send some money to the states. A version of the bill has passed in the U.S. House of Representatives, but the concept has met Republican opposition.
A tax increase in Illinois has no bipartisan support. Illinois Republicans are calling for cuts and economies such as reducing the benefits new state employees get from the pension systems and switching Medicaid to a managed care plan before they will consider a tax increase. Quinn supports both pension and Medicaid reforms.
But such proposed reforms would not necessarily translate to immediate savings that could be used toward overdue bills. Tom Johnson, president of the Taxpayers' Federation of Illinois, says Illinois politicians' inability to take the long view has led to the financial mess the state is in today. Johnson was a member of the Taxpayer Action Board, an advisory group Quinn created to propose ways to address the state's budget deficit. Many of the group's recommendations involved systematic policy changes that could require years to implement.
November elections loom over budgeting negotiations and make possible outcomes unpredictable. The Illinois Senate passed a proposed tax increase last year, but the measure failed in the House. Political scientist Kent Redfield says he doubts the General Assembly will pass a tax increase before November because House Speaker Michael Madigan is protecting House Democrats and will not call such a difficult vote before an election. Madigan spokesman Steve Brown dismisses the idea that the power to increase taxes lies solely with his boss. "[Addressing the state's unpaid bills] is going to need to be a cooperative effort with the legislature and the governor."
"I don't think we are going to have a big grand budget deal with bipartisan support," says Redfield, an emeritus professor at the University of Illinois Springfield. "As long as they can keep kicking the can down the road, they will keep doing it." He added that a major event, such as a state university closing its doors, could create enough public pressure to prompt a tax increase.
The cost-cutting measures that organizations are making to get by while they wait on their money from the state could have lasting effects. Vaught says that if Illinois can't pay its bills more quickly, it "will ultimately cause some organizations to collapse. … If they do disappear, they might not come back at all. They may be gone forever." He added that the less tangible costs to individuals might never be repaid. "If you have a low-quality education … how do you bring that back?"
Erwin says an educated workforce is key to making Illinois competitive, and jeopardizing public universities and community colleges also puts the state's economic recovery at risk.
Eric Foster, chief operating officer for the Illinois Alcoholism and Drug Dependence Association, says turning away clients means they may never come back for help. "Likely they will go back out and use. And once they go back out and use, the chances of them coming back will decrease."
Many who were laid off in social services were recent college graduates and may leave the field before money comes back to hire them, Foster says. So, the social work sector could be alienating the next generation of potential workers.
Says Moss of the Illinois Human Services Coalition, "It's going to be a long haul before things return to sub-normalcy."

|Yes, Martin Luther King would be milking the Trayvon Martin gravy train for all it was worth, while avoiding any mention of the type of community black individuals collectively created in 85 percent black Gary, Indiana
And, yes, they look the sons (both victim and suspect) Obama never had [Gary seeks backup from state police, NWItimes.com, July 12, 2013]:
After enduring tiring weeks of homicides and shootings, Gary officials are seeking help from Indiana State Police.
Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson said she made the request to Gov. Mike Pence's office Thursday to provide additional manpower to her city's stretched forces.
"We really need to send a message to those who are involved in violence that this is something serious," Freeman-Wilson said.
"I don't think anarchy has set in yet. But I certainly want to establish that daily killings are wholly unacceptable."
Indiana State Police Sgt. Ann Wojas said her department is "seriously considering it," and that ISP officials met with Gary Police Chief Wade Ingram and other officers Friday.
Wojas said the request must be approved by Pence's office, and she did not have an estimate on how long a decision could take. Freeman-Wilson said she hoped she would know by this weekend.
Pence spokeswoman Christy Denault said Friday that Pence has received the mayor's plea, and "we are working with the state police to evaluate the request."
Shootings and homicides have plagued Gary in recent weeks, including a triple homicide near the end of last month. Summer typically brings an uptick in violence to many cities.
But Gary's homicides are up overall for the year, to 26, nine more than this time in 2012.
The Northwest Indiana Major Crimes Task Force has worked on seven of those killings this year, including one from Thursday night, said Robert Byrd, the group's vice president.
"Gary has a dedicated team of talented homicide detectives who know the city well and who the criminals are. Working alongside our Gary counterparts is both challenging and an opportunity to sharpen our investigative skills," Byrd said. "We certainly respect the job that they are doing."
Should Gary's request be fulfilled, it would not be the first time the Steel City has sought the state's help in managing crime.
In 1995, then-Gov. Evan Bayh sent 50 troopers to Gary during the height of the city's violent past.
Freeman-Wilson said officials, including Ingram, are pursuing multiple approaches to stemming the city's violence, not just seeking outside agency help.
"We have to deal with this on all fronts," she said. "Putting more officers on the streets is just one of them."But the Daily Beast said black-on-black crime problems was just a myth? [The Trayvon Martin Killing and the Myth of Black-on-Black Crime: Crime is driven by proximity and opportunity, writes Jamelle Bouie—which is why 86 percent of white victims were killed by white offenders, July 14, 2013]
But there's no outrage from the same people livid over the death of Trayvon Martin.
Gary, Indiana, for all intents and purposes, doesn't exist in the world of Organized Blackness. The conditions present in the 85 percent black city wouldn't elicit any sympathy on a national or international stage: Gary just serves as further proof that once a city goes black, it's future is that of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. [Gary's new violent crime tactic: 'Vengeance is the Lord's', GaryCommunity.com, July 13, 2013]:
Gary Police Chief Wade Ingram said he is fed up with the retaliatory gun violence in his city and is vowing to do something about it.
"We're doing terrible with homicides," Ingram said.
Ingram's comments Thursday morning came on the heels of the fourth homicide in the city in a week. The city logged another homicide that night and one on Saturday morning, marking six in eight days — 28 for the year.
This time last year, the city had logged 17 homicides.
Gary police Wednesday also responded to two other nonfatal shootings.
"We know most of these shootings seem to be retaliatory in nature," Ingram said.
"That's what we're trying to stop before it escalates."
Ingram said most of the victims of gun violence in the city "live high-risk lifestyles, and a lot of them have had contact with the law and court system."
One victim of a triple homicide last month had a court appearance on a criminal charge the day before he was shot and killed, Ingram said.
Following the particularly violent 4th of July weekend, Ingram on Monday initiated the Gunshot Victims Visitation Program. Ingram and detectives meet with gunshot victims quickly after they are injured to discourage any retaliatory action by them, their family members and friends.
"They may be on their way to do retaliatory violence, and we can stop them," he said.
Ingram already had a program in place where he visits the families of homicide victims in the city with a department chaplain and local clergy member.
"I probably have visited 20 homes," Ingram said. "We stress to them that vengeance is the Lord's."Maybe now you can figure out why the price of a house in some areas of the 85 percent black city of Gary, Indiana is a $1.
Why shop on the McDonald's $1 Value Menu when you could get into real estate speculation for the same price?
The incredible amount of spilt Skittles in Gary, Indiana should be cause for national concern; instead, it only confirms why white people don't consider black neighbors in their community a positive attribute to ensuring property appreciation.
How many cans of Arizona Watermelon Fruit Juice will go unopened in Gary, because some hoodie-wearing black thug gunned down a hoodie-wearing black person?
But the problem of hoodie-waring black people killing one another in Gary is nothing new. In 1994, the police erected a billboard in Gary warning people about entering the majority black city (where individual black people collectively created one of the most dangerous communities on earth!) [Gary, Ind., Police Post Danger Sign At City's Edge, Seattle Times, October 30, 1994]:
When Gary police officers decided to go public with their frustrations about low pay and hazardous duty, they put the message where it couldn't be overlooked.
The police union rented a billboard at a key entry to the city for its message, which is anything but subtle. In bright red letters, the sign on Broadway reads:CAUTION!!!
You are currently in Gary, Ind.
1993 MURDER capital of the nation.
Where officers are EXTREMELY underpaid and overworked.
"It was an attempt - obviously it worked - to get the public's attention," said Gerald Clayton, president of Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 61. He said officers are frustrated that they won't receive a pay raise this year, even though they're among the lowest paid in Lake County.
The billboard went up this month and immediately got people's attention. Motorists often slowed or pulled over to read.
People are debating whether it is an unnecessary kick to a city struggling to improve its badly tarnished image or a simple statement of fact.
"It's a disgrace, but it's true," said Robert Woods, 45. "Some people are going to say it's a racist statement, but it's the truth. They should put them up all over."
Others said the sign only hurts the city. "It's a slap in the face to me as a taxpayer of Gary," said John Edger. "We're trying to change the image of this city."
The billboard drew an equally bitter response from local elected officials, who agreed that Gary police are underpaid but said the sign is out of line.
"I think the billboard is a mistake," said Gary Common Council President Roy Pratt. "We don't have to advertise our shortcomings."
No, 85 percent black Gary doesn't need to advertise the city's shortcomings -- a simple check of US Census data will provide the answer to why such shortcomings exist (it should be noted the majority black residents of Gary elected a white mayor back in the mid-1990s because: "People in the community believe that a non-African-American can do a better job than an African-American.").
Concentrated Blackness creates Gary, Indiana, a city Organized Blackness turns its back upon, for the shocking amounts of Spontaneous Blackness give wings to the idea ones health and fortune can only be protected by avoid black people entirely.
Or, by reporting their suspicious behavior to the police when they are in your community.

Beginning as a photography student at Rochester Institute of Technology and as a museum assistant and student of Nathan Lyons at the (then) George Eastman House, I have been collecting books at a modest rate. That was well over fifty years ago and the collection has swelled and shrunk depending on my circumstances. One would think that I would have amassed thousands over that long a span of years, but the truth is that I have been a lazy collector, and not particularly interested in housing and maintaining such a demanding enterprise. Rather, I have concentrated on acquiring those few books that struck my fancy regardless of their potential value as collectables.
Many of the books I have collected have come from museum bookshops while some are "printer's samples" since I have owned and operated several small printing, color separation, and consulting enterprises over the years, while still others were gifts from the authors.
Recently my health has taken a significant downturn and I have become motivated to find a good home for the books I own. I don't have the energy or interest in selling these books as individual items.
As a result, I have undertaken to create an illustrated catalog of my collection, which more or less describes their condition and other pertinent details. The prices listed are the generally agreed upon retail prices from dealers.
I expect the books outlined in these pages to be acquired by dealers at wholesale prices for whatever groups of books is of interest. The groups are organized somewhat haphazardly and I invite you to reorganize, within reason, if you have strong interests in any of the items.
Please use the contact form to communicate your interest or questions you have regarding this divestiture.
