White matter microinfarcts
My mother is a 74 y/o who has suffered from vertigo for several years. Her gait is very unstable, she says she feels she is walking on air. Recently she has an MRI and MRA of the brain. The findings are as follows: "There are multiple scattered periventricular and subcortical white matter high-signal density focal lesions on T2W and flair images consistent with white matter microinfarcts, probably related to samll vessel ischemic disease. The changes are considered mild to moderate, more than expected for patient`s age. Water diffusion images of the brain demonstrate no evident acute or subacute cerebral infarct. There is no cortical based cerebral infarct, SOL, or hemorrahage. The ventricles, cisterns, and subarachnoid spaces appear well preserved for the patient`s age without evident involutional changes. the visualized cranial nerves appear unremarkable. MR arteriography of the intracerebral corotid arties, bsilar artery, Circle of Willis and cerebral arteris demonstrate no evident stenotic lesion, aneurysm or AVM.
Does the above findings mean that my mother had a stroke? Today she had a carotid u/s to see if there is any blockage. Could her vertigo, which she`s had now for years, but seem to getting worst be related to these findings? Or could she also have an inner ear problem? Her Neurologist believe that this will be a progressive problem and that she will indeed have a stroke, I find his findings to be a bit extreme. I don`t feel that this is incredibly bad. What is your take? My mother`s PMH is hypertension, high cholesterol. Her heart is healthy, her blood work is unremarkable other than her hyperlipidemia. She is currently taking a baby aspirin, Lipitor, metopolol and Diovan. Should we be in high alert that a stroke is indeed iminent? Please advise. Thank you and be well.
I have written extensively about white matter disease in previous questions--please refer to these for more information about what these findings represent.
A physician who can take a whole history and do a full examination is always in a better position to make an accurate assessment, and I am hesitant to contradict a previous opinion. However, from what you told me, there is no reason to believe that there is an imminent stroke in her future since there is no clear stenosis or blockage of the major blood vessels. There is higher risk for stroke if you have multiple risk factors such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol (as she seems to have, based upon her medications). Having white matter changes also has been shown to increase stroke risk slightly--the more there are, the more the risk (hers sound mild or moderate, when described as "scattered", rather than severe which carries highest risk).
So while I cannot give you an answer with any certainty, it seems that she is doing all that can be done to prevent a stroke by taking an aspirin and modifying risk factors. It is worth considering that the vertigo could be due to an inner ear problem, or perhaps due to other causes (medication side effects, etc).
I hope this helps!

Kellii Scott Now Playing Meinl Cymbals
Meinl Cymbals is pleased to welcome Kellii Scott to its family of cymbal artists. Kellii was the drummer for the hugely influential Los Angeles based Failure, a band that released three albums between 1990 and 1997 that had a massive impact on alternative music in that decade and the decade to follow. The legendary Failure album "Fantastic Planet" showcases Kellii's massive two and four crush and devotion to playing EXACTLY what's called for in the songs.
Since Failure's disbanding, Kellii has consistently kept busy drumming for bands such as Blinker the Star, Veruca Salt, Hyro Da Hero (who just had a stint on the 2012 VANS Warped Tour) and also does numerous sessions for hit song-writer Linda Perry.

Minnesota AD Joel Maturi to retire
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- University of Minnesota athletics director Joel Maturi will leave his post when his contract expires this summer.
School officials and the 67-year-old Maturi announced his retirement Thursday at a late morning news conference.
President Eric Kaler said he and Maturi spoke for several months and decided it's "simply the right time for Joel to retire."
The news conference was held at TCF Bank Stadium, where the Gophers moved in 2009 after 28 seasons off campus and indoors at the Metrodome. The securing of public money and private donations to build the first new football stadium by a Big Ten school in a half-century was arguably the greatest success during Maturi's 10 years in charge.
Hired to help merge separate men's and women's departments in 2002, Maturi, a native of Chisholm, Minn., had to sort through plenty of contention and dysfunction on the heels of a scandal and subsequent NCAA violations that jolted both the men's and women's basketball programs. He was often praised for the way he guided the players, coaches and staff for 25 varsity sports through the transition.
Maturi spearheaded successful efforts to save the men's and women's golf and men's gymnastics teams during a budget crunch early in his tenure, and was a tireless supporter of every squad from basketball to swimming, putting in long hours, attending all kinds of games and events. Just last year he showed up at work the day after surgery to repair torn meniscus cartilage in his left knee.
But he became the target of frustration and criticism of angst-filled Gophers fans, who have watched the football program struggle through the last decade. Coach Glen Mason had some decent teams, but Maturi fired him after the 2006 season, a year after giving him a contract extension, and picked Tim Brewster to replace him. The first-time head coach never fulfilled his bombastic, lofty promises and was fired at midseason in 2010. Maturi hired Jerry Kill as his successor, and while Kill has been praised for his attitude and his work ethic the Gophers went 3-9 in his first year.
Maturi kept Dan Monson as the men's basketball coach through a series of mediocre seasons until dismissing him in November 2006. Maturi then persuaded Tubby Smith to leave Kentucky and come to Minnesota in March 2007, still arguably his most remarkable move as AD, but even Smith has yet to produce an NCAA tournament victory in his time with the Gophers.
Whether it was Mason, Brewster, Monson or Smith, the most prevalent criticism from the ticket-buying and game-watching public toward Maturi was his patience with coaches of underperforming major sports. He never apologized for that, either, placing greater priority on the academic record of those teams and integrity with which the programs were run. Maturi, in an interview with the AP last year, acknowledged the difficult of balancing those ideals with the big business of major college sports.
In that interview, he acknowledged keeping Monson around longer than he probably should have, recalling a conversation with then-President Robert Bruininks, who asked him if he believed Monson could become a consistent winner and NCAA tournament contender with the Gophers.
"You know what I told him? I said no," Maturi said. "I thought the hole was so deep that he couldn't get out of it. So he said, 'Well, why don't you fire him?' I said, 'Because if I did, I'd be sending the message to every one of our coaches that it's only about winning.' Dan took over in a difficult situation. He did get the kids to go to class. He didn't cheat. He did all the things that were right, but he didn't win enough. Eventually I had to dismiss him."
Maturi in 2008 signed a contract extension that increased his annual salary to $345,000.

A charity is warning that household budgets in the area are being pushed to breaking point as a Worcester Park couple sells their wedding rings to pay the rent.
Housing charity Shelter said one in 13 London families fear they will not be able to pay the rent or mortgage at the end of the month.
Among them is Worcester Park mum Caroline Berens who lives with her husband and two children. Both her and her husband work but they are struggling to pay the rent on their home. She said: "I go clammy just thinking about the bills.
"I do anything I can to avoid opening the post as I'm scared it will be another overdue bill. We do all we can to make ends meet – we've even sold our wedding rings and my mother-in-law has helped us with the rent – but we're really worried about keeping our home in the coming months."
Shelter helps three million people each year with housing problems to make sure they do not end up on the streets. Its chief executive, Campbell Robb, said: "It's a worrying sign of the times that so many of us are starting the New Year worried about how they'll pay their rent or mortgage in 2014.
"Unless they get help, some of the families struggling now could face the very real prospect of losing their home this year.
"Despite recent discussion of an economic recovery, we know that a combination of high housing costs, wage freezes, and rising food and energy bills has created a nightmare scenario for many families that's pushing them to breaking point."

Seems like other companies like to have other companies build products using there products where as apple like to build products using their own products
It may lower the sales but there's more income in total and I guess they feel special being the only phone /computer with that OS etc.
What I find funny is that companies like Sony will build a windows computer when Microsoft is still pretty much there sworn enemy
Ah ya, apple stock in 07. My boss at work asked me back then if I knew of a decent stock he could put his money on, I quickly said APPLE! Not sure, I think It was like $95 a share then. He never told me how much money he put in, but in January of this year he handed me a personal check for 5k!
That... is a ridiculous amount of phones. Maybe Old Steve can loan the US government some money afterwards.

Kathy Snyder, Southern Hall of Fame Girls Basketball and Field Hockey Coach, Dies at 58
The Shore Conference lost a legend when Hall of Fame Southern Regional field hockey and girls basketball coach Kathy Snyder, who had more than 800 career wins combined in the two sports, died in her sleep early Friday morning at 58 years old.
Snyder was in the midst of her 35th year as the girls basketball head coach at Southern and reached the 500-win milestone in 2010. In 2012, she won her 300th game as the head coach in field hockey. In basketball, she led the Rams to the 1984 Shore Conference Tournament title, and appearances in the South Jersey Group IV final in 2009 and 2010 in addition to multiple division titles. In 2002, she led the field hockey team to the SCT final, and the Rams also won multiple division championships in her tenure.
A mother of three and a longtime physical education and driver's education teacher at Southern, she was a standout athlete herself in the early 1970s who played under legendary Shore Regional coach Nancy Williams for the Blue Devils. Her daughters, Erin and Morgan Snyder, both starred for her on Southern's teams in the 2000s. Snyder was also a breast cancer survivor who continued coaching while undergoing treatments in 2006.
"As a mother, coach, teacher and friend, Kathy is irreplaceable," Williams said. "Her legacy will live on in all who were touched by her, especially Erin, Morgan and Brandon."
Snyder's death comes just one week after the death of Raymond Mansuy, the husband of her long-time assistant, Paula Mansuy. All games involving Southern teams on Friday and Saturday have been postponed in the wake of Snyder's death.
RIP Coach Kathy Snyder. Thank you for all you have done for Southern Regional. You are irreplaceable. pic.twitter.com/6KjilO3Krz

Our condolences go out to Snyder's family and the Southern community. Anyone with remembrances of Snyder, please comment in the COMMENT section below to help honor a coaching great.
Here are remembrances from just some of the many lives Snyder touched along the way.
"Some of my fondest basketball memories while at Toms River North were games played against Kathy Snyder and her Southern Regional Rams. I always had the utmost respect for her while I was a player, and even more so now being a coach. I will never forget the congratulations card Coach Snyder sent me after I scored my 1,000th point and my team had won the state championship. She was a class act all around and will be greatly missed throughout the basketball community." –
Intermediate South Seminoles
Assistant Varsity Girl's Basketball Coach at High School South
"I was absolutely heartbroken to learn the news today of the passing of Kathy Snyder. She was an icon of a coach, but more importantly, a gem of a person! Kathy was humble and modest and never sought the attention, and probably did not receive the attention she so assuredly deserved! A true Hall of Famer of a Coach, her record speaks for itself.
I have lost a colleague and a friend….very sad day for everyone. My thoughts and prayers go out to Southern Regional, the Girls she coached and to her family.
With My Deepest Sympathy,
George Sourlis, Rumson girls basketball
Thoughts and prayers going out to family and friends of Kathy Snyder; a great woman who positively influenced so many lives.
— KatieMacPhee (@KatieMacPhee1) January 24, 2014
I'm very very saddened at the news. I wasn't on the basketball court or field hockey field, but got my career inspiration after serving as team manager/statistician for basketball and field hockey from 1998-02. I'm now a sports information director at La Salle University, with women's basketball and field hockey among the sports I cover. Even though I hadn't talked to Mrs. Snyder in awhile, I always say I got my career start with her and appreciate that opportunity!" – Michelle Serabian
"My wife and I and my family have known Kathy since she was a young woman playing for Nancy Williams at Shore. She was a wonderful person. She was a marvelous athlete. I would still see her once a year or so when Shore would play a game against Southern. She would always have a welcome smile and a hug. May God bless her and her family." – John and Nancy Welch
In shock and do saddened by the loss of Kathy snyder. She was a mentor to so many .such a loss to the coaching community and family. #rip ks
— Jags Hoops (@JAGSHOOPS) January 24, 2014
"I am stunned. I have so many vibrant memories of Kathy Snyder, who spent countless hours attempting to help me and so many other young women become stronger. Such a determined, passionate person. She had more impact than she probably knew. Such a loss. I played basketball and field hockey (and also ran track) at Southern from 1979-1983, through some of Kathy's early years as a coach. She was a force of nature." – Sarah Tantillo
"I am deeply saddened and shocked by the loss of coach Snyder. I played for her 1997-2000. I graduated in 2000. She impacted me in every way possible. She is the reason I am the athlete I was then and now. I played both field hockey and basketball for her all 4 years. I have many memories of her both on and off the playing field. She is the reason I played field hockey and basketball in college. I remember my senior year when she came to get me out of English class to tell me she had just got off the phone with the head field hockey coach at Wesley College and that I had been accepted and would be playing field hockey at the next level. She promised me that for every year I played in college she would provide me with a new stick. True to her word, she did.
She made me the sole captain my senior year on the field hockey team. I expressed my gratitude for the opportunity and told her I was nervous about being the only captain. Her response to me was 'you will be fine, just keep these girls in line,' so I did what she asked me to do. I remember the day she called my house to tell me I had made the first-team All-Shore field hockey team in the fall of 2000. She said she was so proud of me because it had been so long since an athlete had made first team.
She is most of the reason why I do what I do today. I teach physical education, driver education and am the head girls basketball coach at Cape May Tech High School in Cape May County. I have been here for 8 years. I use what I learned from her in most aspects of my coaching and teaching. My first year at Cape May Tech in 2006-2007 I contacted her about my new head coaching job for the girls basketball team. We were a very young program with some tough to handle attitudes. She asked me to bring my team down to Southern for a Saturday morning practice, so I did. She let my team practice right along with her team. It was exactly what I needed and my team needed.
She taught me the perfect balance of a coach/player relationship. I learned how to have the same relationships with my players. I thank God I was able to play for her and to learn from her through high school and beyond. Her wisdom will forever be instilled in me. Thank you for your life lessons coach Snyder.. I love you and will miss you." – Ginny Roma
Kathy Snyder has had such a huge impact on my family & I as well as our entire community & the students at Southern. I'm heartbroken #RIP
"Mrs. Snyder was definitely one of the best Physical Education teachers Southern Regional could ever have. The great thing is that I didn't even have her as a teacher, but just seeing her interact with other students and be such a great role model to everyone, especially her athletes. She was one of the many reasons I wanted to become a Physical & Health Education teacher and I hope that I will have all the qualities that made her such a great person, role model and teacher." – Matt Chesney, 2009 Southern Regional graduate
Today is a sad day for all Southern Regional past and present athletes. Kathy Snyder touched so many people during her coaching career!!!!!
— Roy Heck (@coach_Heck) January 24, 2014
"I am so saddened to hear of the death of Kathy Snyder. Kathy was a role model to me and many coaches in the Shore area. I had the opportunity to coach against this fierce competitor and had a tremendous respect for the passion and commitment she gave to her athletes. I am sad for her family, athletes and the entire school community as they prepare to mourn her passing."
Deborah A. Schwartz
Supervisor of Health and Physical Education

POLICE are appealing for witnesses to an attempted robbery in which a man who is registered blind fought back after being threatened with a knife in Malvern.
The offenders were left empty handed after the victim punched and kicked.
It happened at about 7.40pm on Friday, March 28, in Geraldine Road.
Victim Andy Muxlow, aged 44, has no sight in one eye and only minimal sight in the other.
It is believed the offenders may have been watching as he withdrawn some money from a cash machine opposite the Barnards Green Loco shop.
As he walked down Geraldine Road towards the Chase School, he was approached by at least two male offenders, one of whom held a knife to his throat and chest and demanded money.
Mr Muxlow managed to get away after kicking him on the leg and punching him to the face.
He was unable to run because he was afraid of colliding with something. Although the offenders shouted threats after him, they did not attempt to follow him.
Mr Muxlow was not injured but was extremely shaken. He was treated by an ambulance crew after having a panic attack.
Mr Muxlow said he had had poor eyesight all his life, but it had deteriorated over the previous year, leaving him virtually blind.
He said: "This has really knocked my confidence and taken away my independence.
"The response from the police was superb. I couldn't fault them and I hope someone will come forward with some information."
One of the offenders was described as white, wearing a dark coloured top with white stripes on the shoulders.
PC Katie Doidge of West Mercia Police said: "Mr Muxlow was left shaken and upset and will no longer go out on his own in the dark."
Witnesses or anyone with information are asked to contact PC Doidge on the non-emergency number 101, quoting incident 630-S-280314.

Anglers Beat Holiday Blues at Lake Worth
LAKE WORTH – Angler Tim McKneely just recently moved to the Fort Worth area from Central Texas. McKneely and friend Mark Alexander frequently fish from the bank from about 8:00 at night until mid-afternoon the next day. They have experienced some pretty impressive catches including one outing where the pair landed over 330 pounds of blue catfish in about 16 hours of fishing. The duo has caught plenty of blues over 10 pounds. At one point that night, they had three fish on at the same time weighing 32 lbs., 25 lbs., and 10 lbs.
McKneely and Alexander fished all night December 18 into the morning of Monday, December 19. Monday morning about 8:00 AM, they got a bite – a BIG bite. After the fight, the two realized they had a shot to break the previous water body record of 55 lbs – ironically set December 23, 2001. A quick internet search on their phone revealed there was a Texas Parks & Wildlife Department Inland Fisheries office right below the dam at Lake Worth. When the call came in, TPWD fisheries biologists decided to go see what the buzz was all about.
Upon arriving at the lake with paperwork, measuring board, and certified scale, a quick I.D. check revealed it was in fact a blue catfish, and a giant! When the weight settled, the behemoth tipped the scales at 72.0 lbs, was 48 inches long, and had a girth of 35 inches. Once all measurements and photos were taken, the Lake Worth monster was released to fight another day.

If, in the interest of autumnal similes, New Mexico's daily papers may be described as great oak trees, then journalists are falling like so many yellowed leaves.
The Albuquerque Journal and The Santa Fe New Mexican each have undergone several rounds of layoffs this year. That's after The Albuquerque Tribune, a major player in daily news, was felled in early 2008, forcing 38 editorial employees out of work.
As grim as the media landscape may seem, New Mexico's online and nonprofit media—mere bean sprouts by comparison—are actually expanding. Still, it's too earlier to tell if they will grow large enough to support this tree house we call democracy.
Political reporter Heath Haussamen recently restructured his blog, nmpolitics.net, to serve as a full-fledged news site with paid stringers. The online New Mexico Independent, nmindependent.com, is preparing to plow fresh ground under new leadership. Meanwhile, the Rio Grande Foundation, a fiscally conservative advocacy organization, is funding a new investigative journalism website.
While few expect newsroom staffing to return to the levels seen in decades past, and the online jobs emerging are either low-paying or part-time, reporters are adapting.
"I think it's difficult to make a living online, or in a lot of media anymore," Haussamen says. "Things are becoming so stretched that a lot of people are doing more than one thing."
Haussamen recently took on blogger, KKOB 770 AM reporter and public-relations consultant Peter St. Cyr as a part-time, paid contributor. Haussamen, in turn, supplements his advertising and donation income by sharing reporting and content with the Independent, a nonprofit news site operated by the DC-based Center for Independent Media.
The Independent, currently staffed with four writers and an editor, also is undergoing change. Former Santa Fe Reporter Special Sections Editor and food critic Gwyneth Doland recently took the reins as editor after the departure of David Alire Garcia (a former SFR staff writer), who transferred to the Center for Independent Media's Michigan news site, the Michigan Messenger.
Now a year and a half old, the Independent has not filled the hole left by the Tribune, as some readers had hoped, but it has clearly filled a niche, Doland says.
"It's been a learning experience for all of us, especially those of us who wrote for print [media]," Doland says. "When you're writing for a newspaper, you have time to ease into your story…We maybe have one or two sentences, and if we don't have people clicking, well, the paper isn't going to accidentally fall open to a story."
According to Doland, in August 2009, the site raked in nearly 89,000 unique visitors per month. Compete.com rates abqjournal.com at somewhere around 130,000 unique visitors per month.
Former Journal and Weekly Alibi columnist Jim Scarantino hopes to further fill the news vacuum with the Rio Grande Foundation's new investigative journalism website, modeled after texaswatchdog.org, which regularly publishes campaign-finance analysis and investigations into the Houston airport system. Newmexico.watchdog.org will go live in October.
"We're not in competition with other media," Scarantino says. "We're here to be a resource and to step into the breach. Realistically, all newspapers everywhere are pulling back on investigative reporting. That's our theory, that's our approach and we'll see how it goes."
New Mexico Watchdog will offer its work for free to print newspapers and plans to hire a Roundhouse reporter.
Limited coverage may be one of the weaknesses of New Mexico online journalism: Doland, Haussamen and Scarantino's sites are or will be largely aimed at policy makers, political wonks and activists, rather than the community.
"I think that's the biggest danger," Haussamen says. "Internet media doesn't cover small towns. In a few years, the situation could be [there are some] small New Mexican towns that the TV doesn't pay attention to, no daily news coverage, no internet reporters. That's scary for democracy."

Waterfront Watch: Part 2
EUREKA- For Part 2 of Waterfront Watch, we take a closer look at the problems developers face while working on their projects on Eureka's waterfront are.
Some Eureka residents who visit the waterfront often say they have some improvements in mind.
"Definitely more development. Especially in between this area, between C and F, even just a little bit farther down. Just seeing a little more development, like some of these dilapidated buildings, if they could fix those up, that would be a huge improvement," said Kristen Serratos, a Eureka resident.
The planned 111 room, four story hotel project behind the boardwalk between C Street and F Street has been in the works for more than 10 years.
"Nothing is a slam dunk when you're developing property on the waterfront in California…Anything can happen. Somebody can crawl out of the mud and sue us. You know how much it costs to sue a developer? It costs 700 dollars to file a lawsuit that can tie you up forever," said John Ash, one of the developers of the hotel project.
Ash says because the project isn't already complete, it's costing the City of Eureka about a half a million potential dollars in tax revenue per year.
"We could have walked away from this a long time ago. But we'd like to see it happen. And we'd like to see it happen for the people of Eureka," Ash said.
In response to what was seen as an over development of the coast and a restriction of coastal access, California voters passed the Coastal Act in the 1970's. Under this law, developments must have an Environmental Impact Report, or EIR, approved by the California Coastal Commission before construction can begin.
"If you have a project that's on a waterfront location or near a sensitive habitat, then you're going to need more specialized information and sometimes it can be very extensive," said Bob Merrill, the District Manager for the North Coast District Office of the California Coastal Commission.
Peoples' access to the waterfront and sea level rise accommodations are among the many factors that must be considered to have the environmental impact report approved.
Ash says the battle is not over after getting approval from the California Coastal Commission. He says the California Department of Finance putting an end to redevelopment funds in the state puts the entire process in jeopardy.
"The State Finance Committee, since they did away with redevelopment, has not approved one development program in any city in the state of California…If the city of Los Angeles or San Francisco can't get the State Finance Department to act, little old Eureka is not going to be able to do much," said Ash.
"The loss of redevelopment in California certainly has slowed the process, but it doesn't mean that the process necessarily stops, it just makes it more difficult," said David Tyson, the former Eureka City Manager.
Michael Casey is the Executive Vice President of Real Estate for Security National Properties, which has been working on developing the 38-acre Balloon Track into a site with commercial, retail and office space.
"We had Home Depot as an anchor for our tenants when we were processing our entitlements for the development and with the economy nose diving in 2008 or 2009, we lost them as our anchor tenant and frankly have not been able to secure another anchor to basically stimulate development and basically continue forward with the entitlement process…It's going to be pretty tough to secure something like that in the near term," said Casey.
He says it will not be likely to get that anchor tenant soon because of a recurring issue in the area.
"The status of the economy right now, the unemployment rate is pretty high out here," Casey said.
He says the cost of the process is a roadblock as well.
"I mean just all kinds of things that you have to research, wetlands designations, all that stuff has to be analyzed. We've spent over $800,000 just doing the EIR…Would I recommend today that we go buy a raw piece of ground up in this area for development purposes? I'd have to say no," said Casey.
And as for the likelihood of current development projects coming to fruition, John Ash and Michael Casey don't expect that to happen overnight.
"I wish I had an answer. I don't. And neither does David Tyson, neither does Mike Knight, the acting City Manager, either does the attorney for the city, nobody," said Ash.
"I've worked on entitlement processes that took ten years, literally, in California…There's just no way to navigate those time frames in a quick fashion," said Casey.
"It is a certainty in my mind that the areas that are appropriate to be developed will be. I just can't say whether that's going to be in 20 years or 30 years or how long," Merrill said.
Officials with the City of Eureka say as a part of the General Plan Update process, staff will look at all vacant property along the waterfront that the city owns to determine the best uses for them moving forward.

A WINCHESTER care home is being expanded as part of a £3m+ county council project.
The council is refurbishing Westholme Care Home in Harestock Road, Winchester, building six bedrooms to bring the home's total to 40 bedrooms for nursing care and 33 for residential care.
The bedrooms in the extension will have en suite bathrooms. A new dining room and lounge is also planned along with a replacement boiler.
Work is expected to start during summer 2013 and be completed by spring 2014.
The project follows the council's decision to close three care homes last year, including Cornerways in Kings Worthy, with Westholme and Oakridge Care Home in Basingstoke expanded to accommodate the displaced residents.
Cllr Ken Thornber, council leader and executive member for policy and resources said: "We have to ensure the care we provide is fit for the future and it is good news that older people in Basingstoke and Winchester will soon have access to more high quality care close to home.
"This is also another good example of how our reserves are put to one-off uses to fund the cost of restructuring and transforming the way that services are delivered." Both sites will remain open during the works.

After watching two amazing games during the previous Tuesday Night's which finished at 4 – 4, i was also having some high expectation from this game. It was a bit of a shock to see this game finish without any goals. With the quality of players Barcelona have, i was expecting them to at least score a goal. Even Lionel Messi didn't look like a similar player he is.
But credit must be given to Chelsea defence and especially Peter Cech. Barcelona had some good possession throughout the match but they found it hard to break the Chelsea defence. They had a couple of decent chances but Cech was alert every time. Dani Alves was a constant threat from the right. Barcelona might feel they could have got a goal had Bojan not missed a very easy chance. For Chelsea it was a draw well deserved though Drogba may have opened the score sheet if he had capitalized on the mistake. It is too early to say who will win. It is all the pay for in Stamford Bridge. But the confidence is with Chelsea now after there good defensive performance and they are always a solid unit at home. And they also were the first team this season to prevent Barcelona from scoring at home.
I feel the second leg will be very crucial. It will be all about who scores the first goal.

The Sydney Roosters are hopeful NSW pair James Maloney and Michael Jennings won't spend a significant period of time on the sidelines after picking up injuries in Friday's comfortable 34-14 win over St George Illawarra.
Jennings limped off in the 74th minute after landing awkwardly on his right ankle and Maloney left the field two minutes later with a shoulder problem after landing awkwardly when kicking a 40-20.
Roosters team doctor Ameer Ibrahim said Maloney's injury was the more serious of the two, and said in the worse case scenario he could be out for up to six weeks.
"Maloney has an AC joint injury which looks like a grade two joint at this stage," Dr Ibrahim said.
"They (AC injuries) can settle down within two to three weeks but linger for up to six,"
"Michael has a ligament sprain on the medial side which is good and not as bad as the outer side.
"Fortunately it's not syndesmosis, it could have been if it was on the other side, so I was quite happy when I saw that."
Roosters coach Trent Robinson said the pair would definitely miss next week's City-Country Origin clash in Dubbo but is hopeful they'll be fit to return against North Queensland on May 17.
"(Maloney) is in grave doubt for City-Country," Robinson said.
"I would say Jenko (Jennings) as well, he has an ankle (injury) where he has been down last year once or twice, he gets a knock and he can run it off but he couldn't do that.
"I think they would both be in doubt for City-Country.
"But I think they'll both be pushing it for Wests Tigers, who we have in two weeks, but I think they'll both definitely be back the following week."

From the time the first colonists settled in Cupers' Cove (now Cupids) in 1610, Newfoundland culture, heritage, and survival has revolved around the North Atlantic and its bounty. Spending time at The Wooden Boat Museum in Winterton gave me an idea of what life was like in the outport communities back when people relied on the land and sea to survive.

A place inhabited by unique and fascinating people is bound to attract folks with a similar penchant for individuality. Folks like Bernie and his mule Polly.

An integral part of the whole Mummering tradition is the making and wearing of a hobby horse. The hobby horse is an odd creation, with a horse-like head, beady eyes, crooked hobnail teeth and a giant hunch back. It has a reputation for being menacing and terrifying— often clearing a room of small children upon entry.

"Hmm, this is really going to be something", I thought as I sat in the car on the way to the Quidi Vidi Village Plantation. My co-worker had just filled me in on what to expect and I couldn't wait to hop out of the car the second we pulled into the parking lot.

I woke up early, determined to get a fresh start on the day and take in as much of the beautiful coastline as possible. It was a gorgeous morning, and I was quite content to sit on a cozy rock and watch the sun scatter its rays across the water. And that's just what I did – until it was time for the main event: the food hike; the reason people flock from all over the world to the Roots, Rants and Roars festival.

On our most recent trip to this part of Central Newfoundland we stayed at the luxurious Riverwood Inn (http://www.riverwoodinn.ca/) which received the "Accommodator of the Year" award for 2011 from Hospitality Newfoundland and Labrador. It has a spectacular setting overlooking the Indian River and has walking trails that start right from its front door. When we asked Tracey Penney, the Inn's manager about what to see in the local area she recommended checking out "glassy beach", the local Springdale hiking trails and King's Point pottery in King's Point.

On our most recent trip to Central Newfoundland we were focusing on seeing places and doing activities that we had not done before. We had been very impressed with the Barbour Living Heritage Village in Newtown and were blown away with the scenery, hiking and beaches on the Eastport Peninsula (see previous blogs). We then turned our attention to Terra Nova National Park (http://www.pc.gc.ca/pn-np/nl/terranova/index.aspx) and decided to head to the Visitor's Centre where the staff suggested doing the 3.5 km hike (1 way) to Buckley Cove.

Central Newfoundland is a huge area of scenic coastlines and large inland rivers. One place we have spent very little time is the Eastport Peninsula adjacent to Terra Nova National Park (TNNP). Our only other previous visit was restricted to a night of camping at Malady Head in TNNP many years ago so we decided that another visit was in order. So in early August, 2012 we arrived the Prints of Whales Bed and Breakfast (www.theprintsofwhalesinn.com) in Sandringham around 5:00 pm.

Daniel Payne is a well known musician from Cow Head who is in demand as a performer across the province. In fact, when we saw his Gros Morne Summer Music performance on Tuesday, August 7 he told us he had just arrived from the St. John's Folk Festival just before the show was to start. He had planned on getting to the Corner Brook Arts and Culture Centre earlier than 7:50 pm (for his 8:00 pm show!) but there was fog on the Avalon Peninsula to which he said "That is no surprise" but then he got a flat tire just outside of Grand Falls "and that was a surprise".

Over the past several years we have been making more trips to explore Central Newfoundland. Last year we enjoyed our first ever visit to Conne River and seeing other places on the Connaigre Peninsula along the south coast of the province. This year we decided to head to Newtown on the northeast coast with the specific goal of visiting the Barbour Living Heritage Village. Not only had we never been along this shore but the Barbour Living Heritage Village is also featured on the cover of this year's Newfoundland tourism map and booklet.

"Elvis and Mavis" has many themes that will resonate with people from Newfoundland where the tug of the big city dreams runs full tilt into the living in the province's rural areas. And in the 1990's when this play is set, the cod fishery is gone so trying to earn a living in Newfoundland's outports is harder than ever. Elvis (Colin Furlong) has just lost his job at the Roddickton fish plant and is frustrated with the general loss of control of Newfoundland's resources so he decides to blow up the dam at Churchill Falls unless the unfair contract with Quebec can be renegotiated.

Man accused of breaking off head of St. Francis statue
Published: Saturday, January 5, 2013 at 5:11 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 5, 2013 at 5:11 p.m.
A man who was denied entry to the St. Francis House homeless shelter broke the head off the namesake statue in front of the facility on South Main Street early Saturday morning, Gainesville police reported.
Thomas Jacob Wilder, 23, of Hampton, was arrested on a charge of criminal mischief, according to an arrest report.
The incident occurred about 1:27 a.m. at the shelter at 413 S. Main St. According to the report, Wilder tried to seek shelter for the night and began rattling on the door when he was refused.
Wilder then broke the head off the granite St. Francis statue in the northwest corner of the facility and threw a piece of the broken statue through a window, the report states. Total damage was estimated at $1,550.
Police reported that Wilder was found across the street from the shelter and said he became upset when he couldn't sleep at St. Francis House. However, Wilder denied damaging the property.

Did you know?
The Worcester winelands is the largest wine producing area in South Africa.
The Worcester winelands stretch from Wolseley and the Hex River Valley to Villiersdorp in the south. While they might not enjoy the profile of regions like Franschhoek, the winelands in Worcester offer great quality wines and the best value in the Western Cape.
Named after the Marquis of Worcester, the brother of governor Lord Charles Somerset, Worcester is a baby in comparison to other towns in the province.
It was laid out on two farms in 1819 as a sub-drostdy of nearby Tulbagh, only receiving municipal status in 1922. But since then it has grown rapidly to become the business centre of the Breede River Valley. This is due in large part to being home to the world's largest brandy still at KWV Cellars.
The Worcester winelands comprise 24 cooperatives, three private wineries and two brandy cellars, most of which are open to the public for tastings along the Worcester Wine Route that meanders through the verdant valley enclosed by mountain ranges.
Among these Worcester wine estates are Slanghoek Wine Cellar, set in a spectacular valley; the award-winning Nuy Wine Cellar; and the Du Toits Kloof Wine Cellar, which has won international acclaim.
Then there is the spectacular drive over some of the most beautiful passes in the country to Bergsig Estate. And not to be missed is the annual Worcester Winelands Festival in May/June.
The region offers much more for visitors than just the winelands of Worcester. There is an Open Air Living Museum and Reptile World, 10 hectares of indigenous gardens at the Karoo National Botanical Garden, architectural walking routes and the Leipzip Herb Centre in the Nuy Valley.

Haven't been on here for awhile, but i'm curious--are there any sausage makers here?
I've really been getting in to this lately...been buying about 2 boston butts a month--one for pulled pork, and one to make sausages with...and i generally am only cooking for 2. My favorites have always been bratwurst, andouille, and boudin....getting ready to start trying cold-smoking some others like summer sausage.

WINTER PARK, Fla. – Christina Minneci and Stephanie Marran made their final game of the 2013 season count, but the Saint Leo women's lacrosse team was unable to overcome a solid fourth-ranked Rollins squad as the Lions fell by a score of 19-4 at Barker Family Stadium and Cahall Sandspur Field on Tuesday evening. The Lions conclude their sophomore campaign with a record of 8-7, while Rollins advances to a mark of 13-1.
Minneci and Marran each netted two goals and an assist, scoring the Lions' only points of the evening. Kristen McGovern led the team with three ground balls, while freshman Paige Leggio took charge off of the draw winning four.
In cage for Saint Leo, Brittany Millsap collected seven saves, facing a total of 34 shots and 26 shots on target. Elyse De Lisle for the Tars made a total of five saves while between the pipes.
The nationally ranked Tars were led by Ginevra Czech and Sophie Townsend with three goals apiece. Mo Imel led the way in assists with two as a total of 14 players contributed to the scoring efforts for Rollins on the night.
Rollins got the scoring started, running out to a six goal lead, but Minneci broke the streak at the 8:23 mark on a free-position shot, setting the score at 6-1. Minneci won the ensuing draw control to give the Lions possession, and on a drive into the eight-meter, Marran was able to earn another free-position attempt. Marran converted her shot with 7:40 to go in the first half to give the Lions their second goal of the night, and pull the Lions to within four, 6-2.
Rollins closed out the half with three straight scores to put the scoreboard at 9-2 at the break, and then opened the second period six more goals, pulling out to a 15-2 lead over the Lions. Minneci and Marran teamed up to place the next two goals between the pipes for the Lions, with Minneci scoring at the 16:53 mark off of an assist from Marran, and Marran scoring with 12:42 on the clock off of an assist from Minneci, to put the scoreboard at 15-4. The Tars finished the game with four more to finish the game with a final score of 19-4.
Saint Leo trailed the shot count 34-12, and were thwarted by the Tars off the draw, winning only 8-of-25. The Lions were successful on 12-of-14 clear attempts, and converted 2-of-3 free-position shots on the night. Saint Leo led the game in saves with seven.

March 15, 1928 — Pabianice, Poland
Yona was the eldest of four children in a working-class Jewish family. The family lived in the Jewish section of Pabianice. Yona's father sold merchandise to Polish stores. When the Poles could not pay him for his goods, they would give him food for his family. It was a difficult life in Pabianice, but Yona's family was very close, and many relatives lived nearby.
1933-39: After war began in September 1939, the Germans set up a ghetto in Pabianice in our neighborhood. All my extended family were moved to the ghetto. We suffered because there wasn't enough food. Every week the Gestapo came and confiscated more of our valuables. Then they began seizing people--every few weeks they took people either for work or toconcentration camps. We never knew if we'd see each other again at the end of the day.
1940-44: In May 1942 the Pabianice ghetto was emptied. My sister, father and I were deported to the Lodz ghetto. I was 12 and was sent to work in a factory with my little sister. For two years we sewed clothes, hiding when the Germans began deporting Jews from Lodz. In August 1944, we were sent toAuschwitz, where we faced selection. My sister was sent to die. I was sent to work in an airplane factory in Germany. When the Americans began bombing, we were put on trains for theMauthausen camp.
After 10 days with little food and no water, Yona was liberatedin Mauthausen by the Americans. After the war she joined an uncle in Israel and eventually settled in America.

Hearing loss is a decreased ability to hear. There are two main categories of hearing loss:

Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Causes of conductive hearing loss include:
Causes of sensorineural hearing loss include:
A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition.
Risk factors for hearing loss include:
Symptoms may include:
Call your doctor if you notice hearing loss. You should especially call if you also have:
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history and perform a physical exam. Tests may include:
Treatment includes:
This is probably the simplest, easiest treatment for hearing loss.
There are many types. Digital technology has created tiny devices that cause little distortion.
One example of a device is the FM trainer. With this device, a person speaks into a microphone. The sound is then transmitted by radio waves directly to the earphone set worn on your ear. This can be particularly helpful if you have trouble hearing speech when there is background noise. FM trainers can also help children with hearing loss to understand their teachers.
cochlear implant
is surgically implanted. It directly stimulates part of the brain and uses a tiny computer microprocessor to sort out incoming sound.
When hearing loss is caused by other medical conditions, it may be possible to improve hearing by treating those conditions.
If your hearing loss may be caused or worsened by a medication, talk to your doctor about stopping that particular drug or changing to a drug that does not affect hearing.
It may be possible to slow age-related hearing loss in elderly persons through dietary modification. For example, if you are deficient in
folic acid, this supplement may be helpful for you. Talk to your doctor.
Surgery may be done in some cases of conductive hearing loss to correct the middle ear problem, such as in
otosclerosis, ossicular damage or fixation, and ear infections.
If you have hearing loss, some changes may help you maximize your ability to hear. Follow these guidelines when talking to other people:

See Max Sanchez — posing behind strategically placed landscaping — telling why it helps him to go naked outside at his Florida resort. Go to armytimes.com/nudist-veteran
Vietnam War veteran Max Sanchez struggles with controlling issues stemming from post-traumatic stress.
As an Army second lieutenant, he volunteered to go to Vietnam, where he served from 1968 to 1969, first with 1st Infantry Division and later with Military Assistance Command, Vietnam.
Now Sanchez doesn't go out much because if he gets into a confrontation, he fears he might become violent. His relationship with family members has suffered because he can get combative during arguments.
So in addition to seeing a psychologist, he is pursuing an unconventional technique to treat post-traumatic stress: nudity.
Sanchez, who left the Army as a captain, lives in a nudist resort in Florida. While he mostly walks around the resort nude, in his home he wears shorts or a jogging suit when his 8-year-old granddaughter or others stop by.
Sanchez, 70, gained national attention when WTSP, a Tampa, Fla., television station, did a story about him.
He spoke with Military Times about why being nude allows him to enjoy life.
Q. What exactly is it about nudity that allows you to deal with the effects of post-traumatic stress?
A. We live in a nude resort, and they have a back pool. It's very quiet, and I forget about the world back there. I really enjoy it in the hot weather, and I can go there and forget about the world. Unfortunately, I don't like staying there during what I consider cold weather. To me, anything under 100 [degrees] is cold. It's not something that completely takes away my problem. When I can be in a tranquil situation ... I forget about all of my problems. I don't find it's a cure-all because I can't be back there all the time, but I do find it helpful.
Q. What do you think when you're at the pool by yourself?
A. I'm either by myself or with my wife, and I don't think about anything. I am just enjoying the weather, the sky, the water. I forget about anything and everything. It's almost like — I don't want to say it's a blank — I think of nothing at all. It's a very relaxing atmosphere.
Q. What made you decide to move to this community?
A. I had known about and been to this community over 20 years visiting. I lived in northern New Jersey, and I would come to Florida. I would go to Miami Beach; I would go to Naples, and then I came up here and I would be here during part of my vacations. When my father passed away in 2002, I said, "I'm not going to stay up in the greater New York-New Jersey area." I've been to Miami Beach since 1949 as a kid and I liked it, but Miami Beach has changed so much that that option was out.
Q. Did you have any worries about appearing on camera nude?
A. Nah, because I have very few relatives left alive. Each to his own. I understand there's a lot of people who don't want it. That's fine. That's their call. But the general object of nudism was to be healthy in a carefree life.
Now, there are some places [where] that's not the key desire of the people. There are some places where it's just a swinger's club. But it's like everything else: You have good and bad all over. I respect people who say, "I wouldn't do it," and there are other people who would.
Q. Have you been a nudist all of your life?
A. The first time I went to a nudist place was when I was about 18 or 19 years old. That was out of curiosity, to be honest. Then I decided later on that I'm not a good dresser. I don't like dressing up. I like the idea of being in the sun and enjoying it fully. That was the main reason that attracted me later in life to it.

Allo Darlin 'Dreaming / You Still Send Me'
Probably the only disco song in the world to feature ukulele and lap steel, "Dreaming" is a melancholy toe-tapper of a duet with Monster Bobby of The Pipettes, who turned in a guest vocal so bass-worryingly low that he lost a filling. A paean to going out dancing and falling in love in a cold climate it'll make you almost nostalgic for the sub-Arctic conditions of the last British winter. Flip it over and B-side You Still Send Me is a total heartbreaker, recorded absolutely live in the studio, vocals and all, with every breath and creak audible.1. Dreaming 2. You Still Send Me
Allo Darlin 'If Lonliness Was Art'
Written while visiting her parents on the Queensland Coast "If Loneliness Was Art" captures some of that Australian sea air with its laidback reggae-ish beach vibe and summery "Sha-la-la-la-las". Listen carefully though and you'll hear that the carefree disposition of the song masks a quiet despair and longing in the lyrics. As Elizabeth herself says, "It's about wanting somebody. Really really badly."Even if the British weather fails to cooperate, "If Loneliness Was Art" is going to bring a slice of Aussie pop sunshine to proceedings.Tracklisting:1. If Loneliness Was Art 2. Girlfriend
Allo Darlin 'My Heart Is A Drummer'
My Heart is a Drummer is the fourth single from Allo Darlin's self-titled debut on Fortuna POP!, an album so chock-full of great tunes that it just keeps on giving. Brightening up the dull wintery days, "My Heart is a Drummer" calypsos and sashays, combining Elizabeth Morris' signature ukulele with Bill Botting's rumbling bass lines, Paul Rains' rhythmic guitar and Mikey Collins' swinging drum beat.Allo Darlin' are a breath of fresh air breezing through stale music everywhere. Elizabeth Morris' thoughtful yet playful creations are achingly personal, incredibly poignant and familiar all at once. Incorporating tunes that you think you must have heard before, she twists them into something new and highly intoxicating. Bringing a certain Australian aesthetic from her native country, she translates effortlessly into the London scene, using ideas very much based on every day life and observations. "My Heart is A Drummer" is a statement of inner strength and defiance with lyrics somehow manages to include a chain-smoking asthma suffering boyfriend, that nervous in love feeling of twisting your fingers round the telephone cord and Paul Simon's Graceland. Meanwhile the b-side, an acoustic version of their last single "If Loneliness Was Art", tells of longing for someone who is seemingly out of reach.Tracklisting:1. My Heart Is A Drummer 2.

• spume •
Pronunciation: spyum • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: Froth or foam from a liquid, especially sea foam.
Notes: Today's Good Word allows us to distinguish sea foam from other types, since "sea foam" is its default meaning. This word may be used as a verb, as the volcano spumed forth a froth of fire. It comes with two adjectives, the Latinate spumous and the Germanic spumy, both meaning "showing or having foam". There is also a French adjective, spumescent, which we have already explored.
In Play: Today's Good Word offers us the opportunity of avoiding the cliché "foaming at the mouth": "The senator loudly pontificated at his audience, arms flailing about and bits of spume forming at the corners of his mouth." As the previous example indicated, the verbal applications of today's word are not limited to froth in the literal sense, as is the noun: "When Lana Jorgia saw the smoke spuming out of the oven door, she knew she'd left the roast in too long."
Word History: Today's Good Word comes from a PIE root with a Fickle S, an initial S that is sometimes there and sometimes not. In Latin it was spuma "foam" and in Lithuanian it became spaine "mousse". But the Germanic and Slavic languages lost the initial S, so we find foam in English, Feim in German, and pena in Russian. (Today we thank Grogie, the mysterious Lexiterian in the Alpha Agora, for suggesting this lovely foamy Good Word.)

Mochi MaxiDolphin 74 — By Alan Harper
Maxi(mum) Impact
Part 2: Mochi's new baby is an immensely likeable and useable motoryacht—easy to handle, not too bulky, and mild-mannered at any speed.
Satin-varnished mahogany is used extensively below decks, but with all the daylight available there doesn't seem to be a dark corner anywhere—or even a slightly gloomy one. Japanese-style cream fabric paneling also helps to brighten the overall scheme, as do the pale tones used for headliners and much of the upholstery. Nowhere is this clever and restful combination of light and shade, of pale surfaces and dark woods, more successfully achieved than in the deck saloon. Whether you're on the sofa, at the dining table, or at the helm, the glass cockpit bulkhead and huge windows provide an almost 360-degree view. The whole space is flooded with light, which has allowed the stylists to go for beige leather on the sofa, the armchairs, and at the helm—providing a much homier and more domesticated ambience than the usual cream or white. Only the 'fridge-freezer cabinet in the galley impedes the view; in every other direction you're taking in the seascape.
The outside spaces are also optimized for sea views. An aft-facing benchseat along the cockpit bulkhead is an excellent place to sit while underway, watching your wake reaching back to the horizon. So is the large dinette in the forward half of the flying bridge, which is shielded pretty effectively from the breeze and has its own bimini. At lunchtime, the cockpit seats and table can be shaded by a clever electrically powered awning that emerges from the flying-bridge molding, while the entire port side of the glass cockpit bulkhead hinges up on a hidden gas strut. This really opens up the main deck layout.
Reached via a hidden companionway on the starboard side of the cockpit, the engine room ought to be small—after all, the accommodation spaces are so big. But it hasn't worked out like that. Even allowing for a midships crew cabin to provide sound insulation between the machinery and the master cabin, the engine room is a good size for the big, flat-mounted MTU V-12s, which drive conventional shafts through ZF down-angle gearboxes. Headroom is 6'4" minimum, access all around is good, and although the only way outboard of the starboard engine is over the top, fixed stainless steel steps and a platform are provided for this purpose. The stern gear has its own large and well-lit compartment, under the dinghy garage, reached via a watertight hatch on the port side.
At 1,522 hp apiece, the MTUs offer plenty of grunt, and the MaxiDolphin handles it with panache. The hull is a conventional hard-chine shape, with convex bottom panels and a fine entry of around 40 degrees at the forefoot receding to 21 degrees of deadrise at the stern. Acceleration in a sparkling Gulf of La Spezia was brisk, a 32-knot top speed seemed more than adequate, and 25 knots at 2000 rpm proved to be a comfortable cruising speed. She responded willingly to the helm at all speeds and planed down to 16 knots with a little help from the trim tabs. In a head sea—our own three- to four-foot wake—it also paid to keep the bow trimmed down, bringing those fine forward sections to bear. The crosswind had little effect, thanks to the long waterline.
Visibility from the lower helm is superb; you could moor the boat stern-to from here without too much difficulty. Both upstairs and down the driving ergonomics are excellent, like so much else on this highly developed machine.
There are things about the MaxiDophin that people won't approve of, namely the lack of a bow rail. However, Ferretti of America, Mochi's importer, reports that all America-bound 74s (and new Rivas as well) will have the rail. In any case, there is also plenty to like, from the obvious and visible (that dolphin-fluke radar mast and clever cockpit sunshade, say, or the beautiful mahogany and stainless steel detailing around the deck) to hidden refinements (like the way all domestic pumps and compressors are installed aft, in the engine room, so your guests will never hear them). And along with bigger gensets and the beefed-up air conditioning, the U.S. standard spec includes another luxury item that European buyers have to write a six-figure check for: Mitsubishi's sophisticated Anti-Rolling Gyro stabilizer system, which works to keep the boat on an even keel whether at anchor or underway.
Mochi's new baby is an immensely likeable and useable motoryacht—easy to handle, not too bulky, and mild-mannered at any speed. From below decks to the flying bridge, she's a pleasure to be aboard. But as so often happens in Italy, all too soon it was time to come in for a late lunch. Langoustines, of course.

Women Laughed at Aged Motor Victim
1905 — Harlem, New York
April 11, 1905. Tuesday
(caption under illustration)
Charles H. Hermans, who is sixty two years old, was run down by a motor car after which the chauffeur turned on the power and dashed away, three women, who, with two men, were the occupants, laughing and jeering at the aged victim as they escaped.
(partial clipping of full article on accident)
Harlem Business Man Run Down by Gay Party and Left Insensible on the Street
Charles H. Hermans, sixty-two years old, a well-known business man, of Harlem and commander of J. D. Morgan Post, G. A. R., is in the J. Hood Wright Hospital suffering from many cuts and bruises about the head and body, received from being struck early to-day by a big touring motor car at Eighth avenue and One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street, while on his way to his home, at No. 235 West One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street. Detectives from the West One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street station are searching for the party that was in the car.
Mr. Hermans had just alighted from an Eighth avenue car when the machine struck him, hurling him twenty feet against an iron pillar of the Elevated structure. Many persons on the street at the time ran to his assistance, while others followed the motor in an effort to learn the number. Mr. Hermans was unconscious when picked up.
The occupants of the car - three women and two men - instead of stopping, speeded up the machine, which was already going about twenty-five miles an hour, and laughed at the efforts of the crowd to overtake them. They were soon out of sight.
Policeman Culvert, of the West One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street station, who was nearby ran to the place and, seeing the uselessness of pursuing the motor car, devoted his attention to Mr. Hermans and summoned an ambulance. At the hospital he was revived and it is believed he will recover.
Wife Waited Up For Him
Hermans last night attended the meeting of the Kilpatrick Post, G. A. R., at Horton Hall. Mrs. Hermans had remained up waiting for her husband and she was not informed by the police of what had happened until two hours after the incident. Hermans... (clipping ends here)

"Throughout the long history of Steinberg, many products have come and gone, many have been superseded by new variants and others have been dropped completely.

Groups work well, he argues, if the power of leaders is minimized. A group of people can propose many different ideas—the more the better, in fact. But those ideas will only lead to a good decision if listeners take the time to judge their merits for themselves, just as scouts go to check out potential homes for themselves.
Groups also do well if they're flexible, ensuring that good ideas don't lose out simply because they come late in the discussion. And rather than try to debate an issue until everyone in a group agrees, Seeley advises using a honeybee-style quorum. Otherwise the debate will drag on.
One of the strengths of honeybees is that they share the same goal: finding a new home. People who come together in a democracy, however, may have competing interests. Seeley advises that people should be made to feel that they are part of the decision-making group, so that their debates don't become about destroying the enemy, but about finding a solution for everyone. "That sense of belonging can be nurtured," Seeley said. The more we fashion our democracies after honeybees, Seeley argues, the better off we'll be.
