Concerned residents and campaigners have pledged to continue the battle to save St Helier hospital.
More than one hundred people attended a Keep Our St Helier Hospital (KOSHH) public meeting at Merton Civic Centre in Morden last night.
Doctors and campaign leaders gave speeches to inform residents about the threat to St Helier from NHS cuts and how they can help protect their closest hospital.
Sally Kenny, founder of the Lower Morden Residents group to Save St Helier Hospital, said: "St Helier needs saving. It's more secure than it was but we can't give up and we have to all work together to improve it."
KOSHH is planning a march from Sutton to St Helier Hospital at the end of April, with final arrangements to be confirmed.
The campaign group also intends to create a political party with candidates for the local elections in May campaigning solely to Save St Helier.
Sandra Ash, a KOSHH campaigner from Morden, said: "I fear the threat to the hospital is that they will simply hollow it out from the middle.
"Instead of announcing they are going to close it they will just starve it of commissioning.
"But we need to focus on the fact that the hospital will close because those in power have decided that they want it to."
A controversial clause in the Care Bill voted through by MPs on Tuesday, March 11, gives the health secretary new powers to close local hospitals.
Supporters of the Save St Helier campaign are advised to write to their GP, MP and their council's chair of scrutiny, collect more signatures for the petition and inform neighbours.

>Health and Nutrition>Running After Hip Replacement
Greetings All,
I'm new to the forum but have a very important (to me) question. I had a total hip replacement in 2010. I was a VERY avid runner, but was advised, after the replacement to stop running completely. I'm 45, in good shape, but miss running so much that it hurts.
I am going to another Ortho to get a second opinion (he specializes in Sports Medicine) but would love to see what others have experienced (for those who've had this replacement surgery). Got to run again - don't really want to take "No" for an answer. Two years without running is going to kill me

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
Actually many had undergone surgery with THR and they successfully recover but other recipients will actually hard to recover.
I had been read a lot of articles and view discussions regarding depuy hip recall but mostly are complaining through suffering too much pain.

She's absolutely remarkable
I had back surgery 8 weeks ago, and not running has drove. me. nuts. I ran for a year in excruciating pain thinking my back / sciatica pain would just go away....had to have a cyst removed from my spine.
She gives me hope that my best running days are ahead of me (53 years old)
Running has given me the courage to start, the determination to keep trying, and the childlike spirit to have fun along the way - Run often and run long, but never outrun your Joy of running!
I suggest you talk to that doctor you mentioned. It wouldn't harm you if you take precautions before doing something that can ruin your life. There maybe possibilities that you can run again.
Hi everyone,
My story is a little different as I have started running after hip replacement surgery and did not run a mile before it.
I had hip resurfacing surgery in 2010 to treat my arthritis problems. My doctor recommended this because I'm relatively young and it should suit an active lifestyle better. Recovery takes time, and for me it took almost a year to be confident with my new hip implant. The pain caused by arthritis stopped a few month after surgery and I was sure that I made the right decision and from this point my life will change into better. But something wasn't right, after a year, when I was comfortable with my implant the pain returned, along with the swelling. Went back to the doc asap to see what's going on. The MRI scans showed a small dislocation, but enough to put me back in pain, and my blood test also showed elevated metal levels. That was it for my "brand new implant", it had to be replaced. This time I also found out that I have one of the implants that just have been recalled in 2010, exactly like the one mentioned here. Man, I'm one unlucky dude to receive one of those in the year they recalled it. If I would have had that surgery just a few month later, it would have saved me from a lot of trouble. Let me continue my story. What followed was expected, another surgery and this time, I got a total hip replacement. And time went by and I recovered, completely I would say.
I always wanted to run, but before surgery it was impossible because of the pain, after my first surgery I wanted to wait to fully recover, but then came the second surgery, so I did not postponed it any longer and 8 month after second surgery I started running. I consulted with the doctor and told that my implant is a cementless one, with metal on ceramic, and it should handle running, although he was worried about me running with it.
Now I'm one and a half years after my second hip surgery and I'm running 10 miles a day and I'm feeling great.
Basically running it shouldn't be a problem, even competitive running is possible. One thing to advise you is to ask your doctor about what type of implants you received and do some research if it is recommended for running, or at least will it last the stress you put on it.
And, also I wish you the best with the running and I hope that you can get back to it.
I have hip ( socket pain ) and have been putting off going to the doctor. I can't imagine having hip replacment, but have a feeling I will need it one day.
Best of luck to you ! I hope you can run again soon.

Hi Jinky. I agree, there is so much contradictory advice out there amongst surgeons and other experts. I had a THR after major arthritis problems and cried when I was told I wouldn't be able to run again. I am running again and it breaks my heart to hear of others who can't. As I was telling someone else on the forum, a friend of mine got me a book that changed the way I looked at running and showed me how to run with a hip replacement. She got it off the Amazon website for me (thank you thank you thank you). It's called Running with a hip replacement. It disappeared for a while but is back again with a whole lot more stuff in it by the looks. I feel for ya Jinky but don't give up!
I am 42yo, male and have been running for 11 yrs. I have been averaging about 4days/wk with 30-50km/week.
It has been a while I have been feeling some discomfort on my left side. First I thought it is muscle/tendon issue due to running in unbalanced surface, insufficient stretching, tight buttocks etc. But none of the things I have tried helped. Pain started to affect even if I am in my bed and moved in my groin area. This is when my wife decided I should see our family doctor.
Well, after a series of X-rays and Ultrasound, about a month ago, she said (the dr) I have a medium to severe stage of osteoarthritis in my left hip joint and my running days are over. I was referred to an Ortho Surgeon who confirmed this diagnosis and said I would need an hip replacement sometime in future (but not now). I am cleared for cycling, swimming and walking of course.
So this is where I am now, a bit depressed and do not know what to do? I would like to know if there are therapies other than THR that can put me back to running, how long does it take to recuperate from the operation, pain situation, how are you guys feeling after the surgery is it totally pain-free and are there still restrictions, in terms of some moves etc.
I'd appreciate your responses.
Yes it's really feels hurt to stop the favorite things due to some reasons, I had a wrist surgery i love to go long drive but my doctor suggested me to don't go for long drive while driving wrist can get stress and the pain will comes back, so i stop that. My advise is consult your doctor and take a suggestion of your doctor

WEST Midlands Fire Service bosses are urging people to stay safe over the Bank Holiday weekend during planned strike action.
The first of three strikes started at noon today (Friday) and continues until 5pm – with two further walk-outs planned for Saturday May 3, from 2pm to 2am the following morning, and Sunday May 4 - from 10am to 3pm.
The walk-outs are the latest to be called by the Fire Brigades Union as part of a national row over pensions.
Paul Burnham, area commander (response and resource management) with WMFS, said: "Public safety is central to our contingency plans, and 999 calls will still be answered as normal.
"We will be providing the best emergency response we can, using operational staff who aren't striking. However, with fewer fire engines available, we're urging people to take extra care.
"We'll be prioritising incidents involving a threat to life, followed by those involving property and then lower-risk call-outs. It could take us longer than usual to get to attend incidents, depending on demand. That's why we're appealing to people to stay safe and to only call us on 999 in genuine emergencies."
Area commander Burnham also appealed to entertainment venues, restaurants and food outlets, and licensed premises to make staff and customer safety a top priority on Saturday night and he advised businesses which are usually closed at the weekend to double-check their fire precautions in advance.

The Crap We Missed – Thursday 9.29.11
Welcome to Thursday's The Crap We Missed brought to you by me, Photo Boy, thanks to the power of heavy rain and the rapidly dissolving infrastructure of Central PA's power grid. Coincidentally we've also got celebs at the mercy of nature's wrath so long as you count David Hasselhoff's recurrent alcoholism and whatever the hell is going on with Lacey Schwimmer's thyroid that's making this happen. Also, Taylor Lautner shows a lucky fan exactly where they hook up the E-meter in Tom Cruise's shaggin' wagon while George Lopez and Justin Timberlake get into a little light ass-play. You know, for charity.
I salute the Union Jack in the only way I know how at the end (Erection jokes: count on 'em.),

PENSACOLA, Fla. – The Saint Leo volleyball team took care of business on Saturday as they snapped a recent skid with solid wins over Valdosta State and Alabama-Huntsville on the final day of the GSC/SSC Crossover Tournament. The Lions dropped only one set the entire day, pulling back to even in the win column, and now sit at 10-10 on the season.
Opening the final day with a 3-1 (25-22, 22-25, 25-18, 25-21) win over Valdosta State (12-11), the Lions were led by double-digit performances from senior Emily Calderon-Reyes and freshman Lauren Campbell. Reyes notched 11 kills and 15 digs in posting her sixth double-double of 2011. Campbell added 10 kills in the win, and another Saint Leo freshman, Tawni Warren, added nine kills and hit .421 to add to the Lions' young threat.
The Saint Leo defense was very evident in game one as they out-blocked their opponents 13-to-4 and held the Blazers to a lowly 0.83 attack average.
Finishing the bookend wins with a 3-0 (25-23, 25-15, 25-22) triumph over Alabama-Huntsville, Saint Leo saw an even performance from every starter as four Lions notched six kills or more in the straight-sets sweep. Warren again took home the hitting percentage award, averaging .429 behind seven kills and just one error. Reyes added 8 kills and a .389 average to the effort.
Running the balanced attack, setters Jaclyn Mailoto and Alexa Reed combined to add 72 helpers for the entire day and the Lions also managed to blister the tape, hitting .337 in the nightcap.
The Lions return to the friendly confines of the Bowman Center for the first time in 12 days when they square off against Nova Southeastern on Tuesday night. The Lions and Sharks are scheduled to get their Sunshine State Conference match underway at 7:00 p.m. For the latest news, updates, and information on the Lions, visit SaintLeoLions.com.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Gov. Rick Scott has said he will wait until after the legislative session to choose a lieutenant governor to replace Jennifer Carroll, who abruptly resigned Monday night.
Dozens of names are surfacing as a replacement, and if history is a guide, the new second-in-command in Florida will come from the state Legislature.
Carroll's resignation was terse -- two sentences. Following news that she and Scott seldom talked, those who served as second fiddle to other governors say the job can be filled with land mines.
"The chief of staff will always feel that it is their first job to drive a wedge between the governor and lieutenant governor so they are the person perceived to be the closest," said Bobby Brantley, the state's lieutenant governor from 1987 to 1991.
So Brantley wasn't surprised that the first official statement came from the chief of staff.
Florida didn't have a lieutenant governor for 80 years before 1969. There have been only 10 since the job was reinstated. Four of them who spoke Thursday say being second takes discipline.
"Part of your job is to stay in the background," said Jeff Kottkamp, who served in the role from 2007 to 2011. "Part of the job is not be the top name on the marquee, but to help the governor."
Wayne Mixson is one of only two lieutenant governors who served two full terms. He made headlines while then-Gov. Bob Graham was out of the country, calling for the repeal of a tax that Graham supported. He still managed to keep the job.
"Well, it had to be done at some point. It worked out, of course," said Mixson, who served from 1979 to 1987.
Plenty of people are being mentioned as a successor to Carroll. And if history is any guide, that person will likely come from the state Legislature.
Frank Brogan, lieutenant governor from 1999 to 2003, was the elected education commissioner when he was tapped by then-Gov. Jeb Bush. He has this advice for Scott:
"Pick somebody you know, like and trust," Brogan said.
Scott said Wednesday he would wait until May to name a successor.

Yesterday we shipped the AIR 2.7 release. Although a relatively minor release in the grand scheme of things, this one is an important milestone for the Flash Runtime. It marks the culmination of an enormous effort over the past two years to bring AIR to mobile devices.
It has not been a straightforward path. Our first work targeted the first generation iPhone, which included a couple of major challenges. First we had to craft an alternate compilation strategy for ActionScript, since using just-in-time compilation, our usual strategy, was not permitted. Then we had to try to achieve reasonable performance on what was a slow device.
Further bumps along the way included scrambling to support the iPad, being forced off of iOS entirely, and switching our focus to the quickly-evolving Android platform. For all their similarities, Android and iOS often taken different approaches under the covers which made, and continues to make, the creation of cross-platform APIs a real challenge.
Of course, bringing AIR to iOS and Android wasn't simply a matter of porting the code, either. We also added a variety of new APIs to accommodate the different features found in mobile devices. That list includes major additions like Geolocation, Accelerometer, CameraUI, CameraRoll, and StageWebView. Smaller enhancements supported screen orientation, soft keyboards, and other mobile-specific capabilities.
For me, the 2.7 release brings us to an important milestone. AIR is now clearly a viable platform for building applications across the PlayBook, Android, and iOS, with thousands of AIR-based applications available in various marketplaces. We've rounded out a basic set of mobile-specific APIs, and, with the iOS performance enhancements in this release, eliminated performance as a barrier to adoption. Moving to mobile was a mad scramble; now we're there.
With 2.7 out the door, we're shifting our attention from merely moving to mobile to pushing the envelope. That AIR is a cross-platform runtime is no reason for us to compromise on capabilities, performance, or tools, and you'll see that in our upcoming releases. The technologies that will drive the next generation of AIR are already in the works, running here behind closed doors. We look forward to sharing these with you in the months to come.

Meet Mike Hackett
Man Down Under On Top of the World's Leader Board
Mike Hackett is a nice guy, the sort of guy who has quickly and easily amassed well over 1100 friends on Facebook. This easygoing, married draughtsman from Melbourne, Australia hardly seems the sort of fellow likely to be on the receiving end of peevish annoyance from his friends and yet that is just where this affable 29 year-old finds himself. "Yeah, my real life friends get annoyed at me," Mike says with a toothy grin. "One has even asked me to retire." Retire from what? From playing Bejeweled Blitz where Mike routinely earns the kinds of scores that other players can only dream about.
"My real life friends—as opposed to my purely Bejeweled friends—get annoyed at having to chase my totals down," Mike explains. That annoyance is pretty understandable since Mike frequently posts high scores in the mind-bending 800,000 range. Mike had always been a Bejeweled fan and he found the Blitz adaptation of the game even more exciting to play—plus something about the game obviously spoke to him. The secret to Mike's incredible prowess at the game is the so-called "Elite Technique." "This is really hard to explain in words but I'll try," Mike says gamely. "You're basically manipulating the gems to create a hypercube when the match isn't obvious. The trick is to move a gem away from a match and then to quickly move other gems into a match to create a hypercube." By moving one gem away from a group of like gems, players buy just enough time to pull other gems into the row/column so that when the first gem (which, remember, was pulled away from a match) snaps back to where it started a six- or even seven-gem match sufficient for a powerful hypercube is created. The best way to understand the surreal level of manipulation at work in the Elite Technique is to see it in action online on youTube. While even the most seasoned Bejeweled Blitz players might have trouble tracking just what is going on in that video, for those with the patience and inhuman reflexes necessary to master the method the Elite Technique is an almost guaranteed ticket to an unassailable place atop their Bejeweled Blitz leader board.
While mastery of the Elite Technique will probably allow most players to easily dominate their friends, they will be hard-pressed to top the truly elite players like Mike. Mike's all time best Bejeweled Blitz game racked up an amazing 1,061,050 points and can be seen in all its hypercube-blasting glory at bejeweledlover.com. While you'd expect that Mike would devote countless hours to playing the game, his approach couldn't be more nonchalant. "I usually spend about 20 to 30 minutes a day playing but if I'm playing well and seeing the matches easily a good session can last over 60 minutes. If I get a big score—something over 850,000—I will usually play a bit less after that since beating those scores can be very time consuming and," he adds wryly, "they get pretty expensive on the boosts!"
Mike's leader board is nearly as impressive as his scores, with over 50 people competing against him. Many of these competitors are from the hardcore Bejeweled community and are among the few players who can provide a challenge to a top player like Mike. "Most of my Bejeweled friends are people from all over the world who I have become friends with through Julia Gemstone's Top Ten (a fan site for serious Bejeweled players). I love getting to the top of my leader board and have spent hours chasing the leaders." The fan site has also done wonders for Mike's Facebook profile, with many of the people he has met through it joining this somewhat shy man's unexpectedly massive friends list.
Aside from his unearthly aptitude for Bejeweled Blitz, Mike is a pleasantly average guy. "I like to spend time with my wife, I'm an avid sports fan—especially of the All Blacks, New Zealand's National Rugby team—and I love a cold beer," says Mike. There's one other thing to know about Mike: he's probably only going to get better. "I find my hand-eye coordination is getting quicker by playing Bejeweled," he says matter-of-factly. "My mouse pointer precision is better." If that's the case, Mike's Bejeweled Blitz buddies had better enjoy any leaderboard conquests while they can—they aren't likely to have many more.

Fly-fishing on the Pinware River11 Dec 2013
If Pinware described its campsites as having hot and cold running water with food nearby, they really couldn't be accused of lying. Measuring just 68 hectares and bordered by the Pinware River on one side and the Strait of Belle Isle on the other, it's one of Labrador's hidden gems, renowned for its trout and salmon fishing (running water, food nearby: get it?).
Happily stranded in Rigolet8 May 2013
It's shortly after 6 p.m. early in September. I'm walking on a 4.4 km (2.6 mi.) boardwalk along the coast in Rigolet, the oldest Inuit community in Labrador. This region is part of Nunatsiavut—"our beautiful land"—and is only accessible by ship or plane (dog sled and skidoos in the winter.)
Labrador Dream1 Mar 2011
Life member Matt Stevens' transformation from dejected and defeated to high-octane adrenaline-induced ecstasy was instantaneous. It happened on the third crank into his retrieve across the inlet to Three-Mile Lake. The lure stopped, the rod loaded on the set, and Matt knew that he'd finally…finally… hooked the type of fish he'd dreamed about countless times during the previous two months.

The new cardiac ultrasound at The Memorial Hospital in Craig doesn't take up much space, but don't let the understated appearance fool you.
The machine — which looks like little more than a wand and a monitor on wheels — stands only shoulder high, yet it can be a big help, especially in the emergency room, said Dr. Tinh Huyn, an ER physician at TMH.
Physicians can use it to detect a heartbeat when a patient's pulse is weak, he said, and it can reveal if there's bleeding in a lung.
It can even be used for more routine procedures, like finding a vein.
"With this, I know what's going on and I can intervene," he said.
Huyn (pronounced win) believes strongly in what the equipment can do — so much so that he made a specific request for it when the hospital hired him, said Jennifer Riley, TMH chief of organizational excellence.
"This was a piece of equipment that he felt was important to have in our emergency room, and he felt that it would definitely enhance our patient care in a really critical cardiac emergency," she said.
Huyn showed the ultrasound to Craig resident Betsy Peck on Thursday morning. She listened intently as he described how it works and peppered him with questions.
She has reason to be interested: funds donated in memory of Rod Peck, her late husband and former TMH board chairman, helped buy it.
The contribution — which included money donated by the Peck family and other residents — paid for $2,700 of the ultrasound's $37,632 total cost.
The rest of the funding came from a grant, an anonymous donor and the hospital, Riley wrote in an email.
In Peck's eyes, purchasing the cardiac ultrasound was a fitting way to use funds donated in memory of her husband, who died in 2000.
"Quite a few members of my family have been treated in the emergency room, so it seemed like a good place to (use the money)," she said.
The ultrasound didn't look quite like what she'd envisioned.
"I expected it to be a big machine," she said.
There's a reason such an inconspicuous tool comes with a big price tag.
Smaller machines usually cost more, Huyn said, because they're portable.
The ultrasound has been put to work in the month or so the hospital's had it.
It's been in use since "day one," Huyn said.
Peck was pleased with what the memorial donations had helped purchase.
"I'm very happy it's being used," she said. "That's the best part."

The Arizona Small Business Association (ASBA) announces its partnership with Stat Health Services Inc. to offer its members Stat Doctors, a service providing 24/7 access to board certified emergency physicians via Internet or phone. Stat Doctors offers an alternative to emergency room and urgent care visits, reducing the cost of care and providing care on-demand for the diagnosis and treatment of urgent yet common minor medical conditions.
"Stat Doctors is a unique solution for organizations to manage healthcare costs that are rising as much as 26 percent year-over-year, while reducing absenteeism and providing a benefit that employees love," states Dr. Alan Roga, MD, founder and CEO of Stat Health Services. "We look forward to providing ASBA's members a high quality, convenient and low cost alternative to traditional immediate medical care alternatives."
Small businesses that are members of ASBA can now access Stat Doctors as a supplement to health insurance to minimize costs and add value to employees, or as an alternative to health insurance in the cases business owners cannot afford employer-sponsored healthcare. Likewise, employees that cannot afford healthcare insurance now have an affordable medical care option.
"ASBA represents over half a million lives (employees) in the State of Arizona," says Rick Murray, CEO of ASBA. "The Stat Doctors program offers these individuals high quality medical access for minimal cost. This benefit gives small businesses, their employees and employees' families some relief during a time when budgets are tight."
Stat Health Services has a network of board certified emergency physicians conducting all of the online consultations. The service, accessible via telephone, personal computer or mobile devices, offers single sign-on, a virtual waiting room, e-visits, access to electronic medical records and e-prescribing services. Patients see a board certified emergency physician within 5-8 minutes on average. According to Dr. Roga, "You can see a doctor and be well on your way to getting better, in the time it would take you to drive to your nearest healthcare provider."
As an included benefit of their ASBA membership, members and their employees have access to this benefit and pay only a small fee when they visit a Stat Doctors physician.
The service benefits employees suffering from sports injuries, arthritic pain, insect bites, urinary tract infections, rashes, vomiting, diarrhea, allergies, colds and flu, pink eye, asthma, bronchitis and many other acute minor medical conditions.

Top Healthy Recipes of 2012by Healthy Eats in Healthy Recipes, January 2, 2013
The numbers are in for the top recipes of 2012 and the results reveal that chicken continues to be a winning lean protein choice — with fish not far behind — plus a few comfort food favorites made the list, like macaroni and cheese and breakfast burritos. What will the new year bring? Can we expect to see more kale and chard on our plates alongside the chicken?
10. Apple Muffins: Ellie Krieger replaces butter with applesauce in these muffins which doesn't just make them more nutritious, it also makes them extra moist.
9. Fish Tacos With Chipotle Cream: Pile marinated fish, cabbage, corn and chipotle-spiked yogurt sauce into corn tortillas for an instant fiesta.
8. Herbed Quinoa: Giada DeLaurentiis dresses this quick-cooking, protein-packed grain with a simple herb-and-lemon vinaigrette for a super simple, pairs-with-anything side dish.
7. Three-Cheese Macaroni: This comfort food classic is made with muenster, cheddar and Parmesan cheeses, plus steamed cauliflower for an extra serving of veggies.
6. Chicken Saltimbocca (above): Giada's stuffed chicken sounds decadent, but the calories in this classic Italian chicken dish are kept low by using small amounts of boldly-flavored ingredients like prosciutto and Parmesan cheese.
5. Breakfast Burrito: Start your day with a veggie-packed, hand-held breakfast: whole-wheat tortillas stuffed with scrambled eggs, peppers and onions, beans and cheese.
4. Chicken Parmesan: Baking chicken cutlets instead of frying them helps keep the calories down in this Italian favorite — and it still gets covered in sauce and mozzarella cheese like the original.
3. Chicken Piccata: A normally decadent wine and butter-based meal gets a healthy makeover.
2. Crispy Baked 'Fried' Chicken: The secret to an extra-crispy coating on un-fried chicken: coat the chicken pieces in buttermilk and crushed cornflakes before baking.
1. Salmon Baked in Foil: The #1 healthy recipe of 2012 also happens to be the easiest — baking salmon in foil with herbs and tomatoes ensures that it will come out moist and flavorful, and with zero mess to clean up after cooking.
Have you made any of these recipes? Let us know about your favorites!

Following a complete redesign in 2011, the 300 returns with minor changes for 2012. The V6-equipped versions now come with an 8-speed automatic transmission, which is said to boost highway mileage past 30 mpg. All-wheel-drive is also now available on V6-equipped versions. A new model joins the lineup for 2012: the 300S. In addition, the 300 SRT8 has been reintroduced after a year-long hiatus. Both feature specific trim and performance enhancements, with the SRT8 powered by a 470-horsepower 6.4L V8.

The East India Register & Directory 1844 and Thacker's Indian Directory 1895
The East India Company started out as a commercial trading venture, but gradually took on governmental and military functions until the British Crown took direct control following the Indian Rebellion of 1857. This register is a fascinating record of the company rules and regulations, as well as a directory of the company's servants, detailing their appointments and lists of their casualties. Among the material of great interest to the family historian are military lists, and even records of births, marriages and deaths that took place among the European community in India.
Thacker's Indian Directory of 1895 is an almanac of British and foreign merchants, commercial industry, military, railways, government departments and European and prominent native residents. If you know of an ancestor that may have been in India at this time, this directory can help you find out about their life, where they lived and what they was doing. This is the first time these collections have been made available to search online, so all you need to do is type in a name or keyword.

Sir Richard Branson to Headline MOPA Film Screening
Richard Branson is very outspoken about the war on drugs. His son, Sam, recently produced Breaking the Taboo, a documentary that addresses what this father and son see as the largest global policy failure in the past 40 years. On Thursday, June 20, the Museum of Photographic Arts (MOPA) in Balboa Park will be screening this film and Sir Richard Branson will speak on a panel afterwards to help shed light on this serious issue.
The senior Branson is on a multi-city, international tour to promote the film and spread the word about this cause. For San Diego, MOPA was chosen as the location due to its success with film festivals such as the Human Rights Watch Film Festival. "Film is a major component of our programming," stated Joaquin Ortiz, Director of Education for MOPA. "Our mission is to inspire, educate and engage our audience and, whether you agree or disagree with the message, Breaking the Taboo definitely does that."
Following the screening, there will be a panel discussion addressing the topics covered in the documentary. The panel will be lead by Voice of San Diego CEO Scott Lewis and will feature four people involved in the war on drugs, including Richard Branson and Mayor Bob Filner.
About Breaking the Taboo:
Narrated by Morgan Freeman (English version) & Gael Garcia Bernal (Spanish version), this groundbreaking new documentary uncovers the UN sanctioned war on drugs, charting its origins and its devastating impact on countries like the USA, Colombia and Russia. Featuring prominent statesmen including Presidents Clinton and Carter, the film follows The Global Commission on Drug Policy on a mission to break the political taboo and expose the biggest failure of global policy in the last 50 years.

Guantánamo: The Men We Left Behind
Deep inside New York's Cooper Square Hotel, Klaus Ortlieb is explaining how little time he spends behind a desk. "I like to be on my feet," he says, clutching two of those Starbucks "Venti" troughs, as he heads between this hotel, where's he's the managing partner, and another favorite project of his: The Gotham Hotel. And then? The 53-year-old hotelier takes on New Orleans with The Modern, a new boutique spot that opens in early November. For now, it's lots of meetings — and more time in his office. "When I need to piss someone off, I wear jeans," he says. "The suits hate that." So we'll take it as a good sign that he wore a Giorgio Armani shirt and Bill Blass pants for our meeting. Or maybe not: "Clothing is all psychological," he added, before sharing a few other essentials.
"My mom gave me this when I moved to America. She thought it was lucky
because I've ridden horses, and did well when I jumped. She didn't believe
in the hotel business. She thought it was all vagabonds and prostitutes.
That's why, in my hotels, we provide everything but drugs and prostitutes."
Quiz: Rebecca Black or Rebekah Brooks?

Whatever Will Oldham's music lacks in Appalachian authenticity, it gets back in atmosphere, and plenty of post-Oldham acts have breathed that atmosphere deep. There's something about Oldham's sound: all Neil Young whine and rocking-chair creak, as mighty as a mountain and as subtle as morning dew. Oldham crony Jason Molina has retired the mumble and drone of Songs: Ohia for the plugged-in shack-rattling of Magnolia Electric Co., but he retains the atmosphere on the band's stirring studio debut, What Comes After The Blues. Magnolia Electric Co. announces its intentions on "The Dark Don't Hide It," a declaration of honesty with a high slide-guitar moan, a skipping rhythm, and the gruff harmonies of Molina and Jennie Benford. Benford takes the lead on the gently rocking lamentation "The Night Shift Lullaby," which could've been bashed out from an outdoor festival stage in the late afternoon, while "Give Something Else Away Every Day" lopes along like a midday walk, unhurried and preoccupied. In the past, Molina has preferred to let his songs sprawl out, but here, he keeps them fairly tight, responding to the urgency of a more rock-oriented sound. He leaves his dark room and steps out onto bumpy roads, to enjoy the sweet heat of a scorching sun.
Centro-Matic frontman Will Johnson explores a frayed, experimental brand of alt-country with his own band, but strays closer to Oldham-land with his side project South San Gabriel, which favors syrup-slow tempos, clanking piano, guitars played for texture instead of melody, and raspy song-poems like "Predatory King Today" and "Sicknessing." South San Gabriel's new album The Carlton Chronicles demonstrates how silence can be unsettling in its nothingness, as on "Affection's The Pay," which sounds like an amplified shrug. Meanwhile, South San Gabriel's labelmate Great Lake Swimmers plunges into quietude with a reverence rarely heard since Cowboy Junkies turned a church into a recording studio for The Trinity Session. Great Lake Swimmers' self-titled debut was recorded in an Ontario grain silo, which allows Tony Dekker's pinched, angelic voice to float high without escaping. The effect is arresting on songs like "Moving Pictures, Silent Films" and "Three Days At Sea (Three Lost Years)," where the mood is so still and the music so pretty that it's hard to move for minutes after the final note.
Will Sheff and his versatile Texas group Okkervil River hew as much to indie-rock and emo as to any frayed alt-country ideal, but the band started in the late '90s with a kind of post-rock Americana style, and it's never fully abandoned it. Okkervil River's expansive new Black Sheep Boy ranges between tracks like the fragile "In A Radio Song"Sheff's recollection of a dream, set to acoustic guitar, pump organ, strings and industrial humand dynamic exercises like "For Real," which shifts abruptly from hush to crunch. The band is least convincing at its straightest, as on the Old 97's-ish "Black," the Wilco-y "A King And A Queen," and the Bright Eyes-esque "Song Of Our So-Called Friend," but Sheff and company make full-on events out of songs like the slow-rolling, eight-minute "So Come Back, I Am Waiting," which sounds like the shadow of storm clouds over an open field.

For Eye Care Professionals
Bulging eyes, or proptosis, occurs when one or both eyes protrude from the eye sockets due to space taking lesions such as swelling of the muscles, fat, and tissue behind the eye. This causes more of the cornea to be exposed to air, making it more difficult to keep eyes moist and lubricated. In extreme cases, bulging eyes can create a large amount of pressure on the optic nerve, potentially leading to vision loss.
Oftentimes prominent eyes are mistaken for bulging eyes. Prominent eyes are generally hereditary and in most cases are harmless. However, bulging eyes can be a different case, as they may be linked to a more serious condition.
Bulging eyes have been linked to a number of diseases and conditions, including glaucoma, hyperthyroidism, leukemia, and more.
The most common cause of bulging eyes is Graves' disease, or more specifically, Graves' ophthalmopathy – an autoimmune condition where the thyroid gland mistakenly senses harmful cells and releases antibodies, which then fuse to eye muscles and cause inflammation.
Bulging eyes are usually a symptom of another condition. Symptoms of Bulging eyes may include:
The underlying cause of bulging eyes will determine the overall course of treatment. However, in all cases, bulging eyes will be exposed to more air making it difficult to keep them lubricated. To combat excessive dryness, artificial tears and eye drops can be used for moisture and lubrication.

BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. - Authorities are continuing to watch a brush fire on Wednesday that ignited in Port St. John near Interstate 95 on Tuesday night.
The fire, which was reported at 5 p.m. was burning near Interstate-95 and Port St. John Parkway, behind a Parrish Medical Center building, according to Brevard County Fire Rescue. As of Tuesday night, the fire was burning at 35 acres and no homes were in danger, according to officials.
Officials said the flames have already jumped the lines, and is forcing firefighters to back up and take a more defense position and call in extra brush trucks.
"I wish I had some good news but it's looking pretty bad back there," said Fred Jodts, Division Chief. "We've got a lot of actively burning snags."
I-95 wasn't affected by the fire and crews say they're working to protect homes in the nearby Veronica Estates community and will continue monitoring the fire to prevent any flare-ups from reigniting.
"If it gets close I'll have an engine in every drive way today," Jodts said. "I'll protect these houses and we'll do everything we can."
Local 6 news helicopter Sky 6 flew over the fire as it burned through foliage, sending sparks and smoke up into the dark sky.
A fire weather watch was issued from the National Weather Service in Volusia County and fire weather warnings were issued in Flagler, Marion and Osceola counties. Click here for more.

Small Project: The Phoenician Ballroom Expansion
Developer: Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide
Contractor: Perini Building Co.
Architect: Cadiz Design Studio
Broker: Bridgit, Inc.
Size: 50,000 SF
Location: 6000 E. Camelback Rd., Scottsdale
Completed: October 2010
It took a team to work through a number of significant challenges to deliver the $40M, 49,000 SF Camelback Ballroom complex on time and within budget. Among the most daunting was maintaining the Five Diamond resort's reputation while construction was taking place. To add to the complexity of the project, the freestanding structure physically connects to the Phoenician's existing meeting space. Highlights of the ballroom include 15,000 SF of space divisible into seven separate rooms, a 4,000 SF full kitchen with loading dock, 7,200 SF of pre-function area, and a 7,000 SF lobby and registration area. The ballroom is one of just four luxury properties in the U.S. that can accommodate up to 800 people. At the peak of construction, more than 200 crafts people from 56 firms worked on the project, 95% of which were Arizona based.

The backlog of untested evidence from rape cases remains a problem of critical concern. By all estimates there are hundreds of thousands of untested rape kits stored at laboratories waiting to be processed, or, more commonly, sitting in evidence rooms, perhaps never to be tested. Victims and the general public deserve better. Collectively we must find solutions that assure the timely processing of evidence, justice for rape survivors and safety for communities.

Activity note: Hotel check-in available from 3:00 p.m.
Afternoon: Program Registration 4:30 – 5:15 p.m. After you have your room assignment, come to the Road Scholar table in the hotel meeting room to register with the program staff and get your welcome packet containing your name-tag, up-to-date schedule that reflects any last-minute changes, other important information, and to confirm when and where the Orientation session will take place. If you arrive late, please ask for your packet when you check in.
Dinner: At the hotel, we'll have a tasty plated welcome dinner with soft drinks, coffee, tea, water included; other beverages available for purchase.
Evening: Orientation. The Group Leader will greet everyone and lead introductions. We will review the up-to-date program schedule, discuss roles and responsibilities, logistics, safety guidelines, emergency procedures, and answer questions. Transportation during the week will be provided by a combination of passenger vans and motor coach travel. This is a Road Scholar intergenerational program. Grandparents are responsible for their grandchildren. If/when separate age group activities are conducted concurrently, program staff will supervise. Children are never to be left unsupervised. Periods in the daily schedule designated as "Free time" and "At leisure" offer opportunities to do what you like and make your experience even more meaningful and memorable according to your personal preferences. The Group Leader will be happy to offer suggestions. Program activities, schedules, personnel, and indicated distances or times may change due to local circumstances/conditions. In the event of changes, we will alert you as quickly as possible. Thank you for your understanding. Continue getting to know your fellow Road Scholars, settle in, and get a good night's rest for the full day ahead. Be sure to prepare for check-out and transfer in the morning.
Activity note: Walking up to 1 mile throughout the day. Driving approximately 150 miles to Flagstaff; about 2.5 hours. University challenge course is on paved and unpaved terrain, on low obstacles close to the ground, and up 25 to 30 in the air on elevated obstacles. Harnesses, helmets, safety orientation and instruction will be provided by certified challenge course facilitators.
Breakfast: At the hotel, the extensive breakfast buffet features many choices of hot and cold items, plus coffee, tea, juices, water.
Morning: After checking out of the hotel, we'll begin our transfer from Phoenix and make our way to the higher elevations of Flagstaff with its cooler summer temperatures. En route, we'll learn from our Group Leader about the fascinating and varied geography between the two locations.
Lunch: At a local restaurant in Flagstaff, we'll have a buffet lunch with an extensive salad bar, plus soft drinks, coffee, tea, water.
Afternoon: Especially for kids: After our arrival in Flagstaff, we'll travel to Northern Arizona University's Challenge Course on the south campus for team building events led by certified leaders who are college students at NAU. The goal is to build a trusting and cohesive group out of grandparents and grandchildren who just met each other the night before. We will start out with on-the-ground games, move to low and then to high element activities. This will include some of the elements of the static course with activities at heights 25-30 feet off the ground. This progression of activities will challenge the group with increasingly difficult tasks while encouraging cooperation, inspiring confidence and having fun, all within a supportive and safe environment. Grandparents as well as grandchildren are encouraged to participate, but all activities are "challenge by choice." In late afternoon, we'll travel to the hotel and check-in.
Dinner: At a local Greek restaurant with a variety of entree choices for all ages and palates, we'll have plated meals. Beverages include water, tea, soft drinks or coffee; other beverages available for purchase at your own cost.
Evening: Especially for kids: In a meeting room on campus, our kid-focused presentation given by a biologist from the university will cover some aspects of Arizona wildlife. We will learn about some of the critters living in the Grand Canyon region and look at their adaptations to this high desert environment.
Activity note: Driving approx. 135 miles to Page, AZ; about 2.5 hours. Getting in/out of raft; assistance provided as needed. The raft trip lasts 3.5 hours, around 15 miles. Daytime temperatures can be very warm; be sure to bring sun protection and stay hydrated. Short 1/4 mile RT walk to view ancient rock art during smooth water raft trip. Return 2.5 hours to Flagstaff from Lee's Ferry following raft trip. Total driving during the day 5 hours.
Breakfast: Hotel buffet.
Morning: Setting out from the hotel, we'll travel to the Cameron Trading Post in the Navajo Nation for a short rest stop.Then we'll move on to the town of Page to visit the Carl Hayden Visitor Center perched high above Glen Canyon Dam. While here, we'll see the relief map in the lobby, look at photos documenting the construction of the dam in the 1950s and '60s, and gaze out of the giant picture windows at Lake Powell stretching into the distance. Lake Powell has more shoreline than the west coast of the United States! Especially for kids: Next, we'll shift our gaze down to the rafts moored just below the dam knowing that we'll soon board one for an unforgettable float through Glen Canyon. After checking in with the rafting leaders, we'll descend by bus through the tunnel and down to the river where we'll have a safety orientation before meeting our boatmen and boarding our rafts. As we float downstream watching the walls of the Canyon rise above us, we'll look for fly fishermen casting for rainbow trout. The water is so clear we may see them swimming!
Lunch: Aboard the raft, we'll enjoy sack lunches with sandwiches, fruit, chips and a cookie.
Afternoon: As we continue floating downstream and gazing up at the high cliffs, search for golden eagles, California condors – North America's largest flying bird – hawks and turkey vultures. We'll stop along the way and walk led by our boatmen to see the amazing petroglyphs, perhaps 1000 years old, just a short distance from shore. We may even catch sight of a chuckwalla lizard sunning itself nearby. Before reboarding the rafts for our spectacular trip around Horseshoe Bend, we may wish to jump into the 48 degree water of the Colorado River! After rounding Horseshoe Bend, we'll wind up in Lee's Ferry where the Grand Canyon officially begins. As we finish up our journey, we may see other boatmen readying their rafts for their exciting trips through the Grand Canyon and its many rapids. Time permitting, we'll stop at the wild looking mushroom rocks – just part of the fascinating geology near Lee's Ferry. We'll then get off our rafts and board a motorcoach for transfer to Cameron Trading Post.
Dinner: At the historic Cameron Trading Post, we'll have a choice of plated dinners from a select menu including an authentic Navajo dish; kid-friendly entrees available. Water, iced tea, soft drinks and coffee are available. There is no alcohol served on the Navajo Nation.
Evening: We'll then return to our Flagstaff hotel late in the evening with the rest of the evening at leisure.
Activity note: Walking about 2 miles throughout the day; Paved Island Trail descends 185 feet into Walnut Canyon and is about 1 mile round trip; pavement can be uneven at times; 240 stairs. There is a level and paved rim trail for those unable to descend into the Canyon. Driving about 1/2 hour one way to Walnut Canyon, NM.
Breakfast: Hotel buffet.
Morning: Especially for kids: We'll gather at the university for a secret "Kids Only" activity led by our Group Leaders! Shhhhh! While the kids are engaged, the adults may wish to take a breather, a dip in the pool or engage in purely adult conversation for a short time. Then, we will participate in a hands-on presentation that will focus on how the mighty earth forces worked over millions and even billions of years to carve the Grand Canyon.
Lunch: At a local restaurant, we'll have plated lunches with soft drinks, coffee, tea, water.
Afternoon: Next, we'll travel to Walnut Canyon National Monument to view its 900 year old Anasazi pueblo ruins. We'll descend the canyon's 240 stairs (185 feet) to the Island Trail to visit and, in some cases, step inside these ancient structures. As we walk in the footsteps of these early area inhabitants led by our Group Leader, we'll have the opportunity see how they lived, learn where they got their food, and how they built their homes while enjoying the spectacular scenery and geology of Walnut Canyon. We'll hear of the connection that the Hopi people have to this beautiful canyon. On our way out, we'll visit the Monument's museum and explore the exhibits independently before returning to the hotel.
Dinner: At a local restaurant, we'll have plated dinners chosen from a select menu with water, iced tea, soft drinks and coffee are available; other beverages available for purchase.
Evening: At leisure. We'll be able to jump in the pool and have fun with new friends.
Activity note: Walking about 2 miles; during the 3.5 hours at Grand Canyon National Park; paved pathways on S. Rim of Grand Canyon. Driving approx. 30 miles and 1/2 hour one way to Williams and Grand Canyon Railway depot. Getting on/off train; assistance available as needed. Rail journey is about 60 miles; approx. 2.5 hours one way. Elective hike is up to 1 mile round trip on steep, unpaved Bright Angel Trail.
Breakfast: Hotel buffet.
Morning: Especially for kids: After boarding our transportation to the Grand Canyon Railway Depot in downtown Williams, just a short drive from Flagstaff, we'll be treated to a Wild West show and shoot out. Then we'll board the train for a trip through forests and high desert ranch land to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Keep a look out for prairie dogs near Williams then watch for mule deer in the ponderosa forest and pronghorn antelope and free range cattle in the open range lands. Our rail car attendant will provide commentary.
Lunch: Aboard the train, we'll have our pre-selected sandwiches, chips, fruit and cookies as we travel through an iconic Arizona ranch landscape with mountains in the distance.
Afternoon: Upon arrival, we'll walk to the rim together, many of us seeing this world wonder for the very first time! Then we'll stroll throughout Grand Canyon Village exploring its many viewpoints of the canyon from the S. Rim. We'll then have some time for independent exploration. We may choose to take the elective hike down the famous Bright Angel Trail. One could also explore the Canyon rim independently or find the nearby fountain for ice cream before boarding the train for the return trip to the Williams train station – that is, unless the train robbers get us on the way back!
Dinner: At the hotel for our final dinner, we'll have a festive pizza party with salad and dessert, plus lemonade, iced tea, water.
Evening: We'll then gather for a program wrap-up session to go over all we learned throughout the week. Afterwards, the remainder of the evening will be at leisure for new friends to enjoy together. We will prepare for check out and departures in the morning.
Activity note: Driving approximately 150 miles to Phoenix Sky Harbor airport; about 2.5 hours. Expected arrival at the airport about 11:30 a.m. Be sure to schedule airline departures with ample time to check bags and clear security – not earlier than 2:00 p.m. Hotel check-out by 12:00 Noon.
Breakfast: Hotel buffet.
Morning: Depart after breakfast for Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and independent departures. Expected arrival at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport about 11:30 a.m.This concludes our program.

ORLANDO, Fla. - A suspicious package found near UCF, which caused the evacuation of two office buildings, turned out to be a GPS "scavenger hunt" device, according to school officials.
The package was located Thursday morning in the Central Florida Research Park adjacent to the UCF campus near the Research Pavilion and Orlando Tech Center on Research Parkway.
The office buildings and nearby roadways were reopened around 9:20 a.m.
No school activities were affected during the incident.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – After two wins over Top-25 competition, Saint Leo volleyball player Bruna Rocha has claimed the female side of the Saint Leo Athlete of the Week while men's cross country runner Michael Berry's solid performance on the course earned him the male honor as they both claim the weekly awards for the span ending October 4, 2009.
Rocha, a first-year player for the Lions, went off the charts in road wins over #25 Eckerd and #4 Tampa. In Wednesday night's conference contest against the Tritons in St. Petersburg, the Sao Paulo, Brazil native blasted 17 kills to the court while only committing two errors. Hitting at a .469 clip, she also dropped in three crucial service aces in the 3-1 win. Saturday afternoon, the junior led the Lions into a showdown with Tampa, a matchup where SLU had not seen victory in over 25 years. Posting an errorless day, she dropped down a match-high 21 kills as the Lions swept the 4th-ranked Spartans. For the week she averaged a .507 hitting percentage, posted 5.43 kills and 2.86 digs per set as she was Saint Leo's nominee for the Sunshine State Conference's weekly award on both sides of the net.
Berry, a sophomore from North Palm Beach, Fla., continues to impress on the course during the 2009 campaign. In four races, he has finished as the Lions' top-finisher on two occasions. In last Friday's flrunners.com 5K race, he crossed the line in the Lions' top spot, finishing 33rd overall out of 88 runners with a time of 17:48.16. For the season, he has two first-place finishes, a second place-finish, and a third-place nod.
The Lions have some very busy days this week as volleyball, men's soccer and women's soccer all see action on Tuesday.
Volleyball will return home to 'White-Out' the visiting Florida Southern Moccasins as they encourage all fans in attendance to wear white to the match, and men's soccer will look to get back on track with a home game against Thomas University. Women's soccer will travel to West Palm Beach to square off with Palm Beach Atlantic University. All three events have a 7:00 p.m. scheduled start time.
Women's soccer is back in action on Friday night with a home SSC tilt against Lynn University that is scheduled to get underway at 7:00 p.m., while cross country will take to the course early Saturday morning when they run at the Disney Invitational in Kissimmee, Fla.
Men's soccer concludes their week as they host #1 Lynn University in a primetime matchup on Saturday night while volleyball faces Nova Southeastern earlier that afternoon.
#23 SLU Volleyball closes the week with a rare Sunday afternoon contest against Bentley University that will get underway at 2:00 p.m.

Palet Bretons originated in Brittany, and though they're fairly hard to come across in New York, Financier puts out a highly satisfying version. Crumbly, with a texture not far from cornbread, the cakey cookie is rich in butter and thankfully not very sweet. They're perfectly round, near an inch in height, and sold by the 5-pack for $7.50 at Financier locations throughout the city. Bring on coffee and tea, and we're all set for afternoon goûter.

We bought these because we got a free one with a Wendy's kid's meal. Our kids (4 and 2) LOVED it. We listened to it in the car, at bedtime, and any quiet time. They are hooked on the books now too. the author does a great job reading them and they are engaging. My BIG complaint with this particular set is that the 8 stories are split among 5 CDs. So Story 2 starts on CD1 and continues on CD2. There are no book titles on the CD label, only "Book 1-2". My kids like to use these by themselves, but they can't manage finding the right sets of CDs to listen to one story, or fast forward to the right track to start the right story. It's completely annoying. Also if you're travelling you can't just bring one CD you have to bring 2. (Or of course you could burn them to a new CDR but that's annoying).We love the stories, but hate this CD setup.Read More

I bought this item because we got a Wendy's Magic Tree House Audio book. We loved them! I'm not saying we don't like these. We like them better, but there is eight books and only five cds! So it is Book #1 and Partaily #2. That stinks! We like this product and it is great value, but it stinks that we have to have two cds to listen to one! We loved the interview!Read More
Great price for these GREAT books! My grandchildren love them and they are a nice change from DVD's in the car!Read More
Great for my struggling readers. They love to listen and follow along to the books.Read More
I purchased these Audio CD's to help keep my Grandaughter interest in books. She struggles with reading and is behind for her age. She started out with the CD's and followed along with the books that we had purchased seperately. She played them over and over again. She just loves the stories. Before long I heard her reading the book on her own. I thought it was just from memory, but was quickly surprised that she was reading the whole book . These are all great stories read by the Author of the Books and keep kids very engaged! Since receiving these Audio CD's her reading level has jumped to steps or levels in school. I have already purchased 9-16 of the Audio CD's. Anything that helps children to love reading is a great tool. We have listened to them on short trips and the stories are easy to understand and fun to listen to. They also help you feel like you are part of the story and helping out Jack and Annie to solve the Mystery Adventures!Read More
