An iconoclast with a bent for experimentation, director Paul Maunder brought the mixed flavours of social realism and the arthouse to New Zealand screens in the 1960s and 70s, before shifting stages and leaving the government's National Film Unit, to concentrate on theatre. His second feature Sons for the Return Home (1979) as the first film to dramatise the experience of Pacific Islanders living in contemporary New Zealand.
Nothing Paul ever did at the Film Unit was how the Film Unit had ever done it before. Fellow National Film Unit director Hugh Macdonald
Sons for the Return Home tells the story of a Romeo and Juliet romance between students Sione, a NZ-raised Samoan, and Sarah, a middle class palagi. Director Paul Maunder shifts between time and setting (London, Wellington, Samoa) in adapting Albert Wendt's landmark 1973 novel. Sons was the first feature film attentive to Samoan experience in NZ — alongside themes of identity, racism and social and sexual consciousness. In this excerpt Sione meets Sarah's parents, and his tin'a has him scrubbing their Newtown pavement prior to Sarah's reciprocal visit.
Pioneering soap opera Close To Home first screened in May 1975. For just over eight years middle New Zealand found their mirror in the life and times of Wellington's Hearte clan. At its peak in 1977 nearly one million viewers tuned in twice weekly to watch the series co-created by Michael Noonan and Tony Isaac (who had initially only agreed to make the show on the condition they would get to make The Governor). The popular family saga carved a regular niche for local drama on screen, and the output demands were foundational in developing industry talent.
Escaping the city to camp themselves in rural Foxton, four 20-something idealists set about living off the land. But they bring their urban anxieties with them, and an act of violence forces the commune into isolation and extremism. Teasing tense drama from familiar settings — as if Pasolini took the reins of a Country Calendar special — this maverick Paul Maunder-directed NFU film shines a harsh light on the contradictions of the frontier spirit with stylistic daring. Rarely-seen (TVNZ never screened it), Landfall marked Sam Neill's feature debut.
This chronicle of the Christchurch Commonwealth Games marked one of the National Film Unit's most ambitious productions. Though a range of events (including famous runs by John Walker and Dick Tayler), are covered, the film often bypasses the pomp and glory approach; daring to talk to the injured and mentioning that most competitors lose. The closing ceremonies of the "friendly games" feature the athletes gathering to — as the official song's chorus put it — "join together". The directing team included Paul Maunder, Sam Pillsbury, and Arthur Everard.
This short black and white NFU 'drama' follows three young people on a road trip from Wellington. The trio are meant to be finding a seal colony, but in this early film from director Paul Maunder (Sons for the Return Home), the journey is the destination. The rambling adventure along the coast past Wainuiomata sees the trio discussing paua ashtrays, waning youth, marriage, the state of New Zealand television, and life in general. Future TV director John Anderson (road movie Mark ll) plays the husband, and Sam Neill edits. The music is by Tony Backhouse (The Crocodiles).
After a young woman (Denise Maunder) falls pregnant, she decides to go against the tide of advice from her family and unsympathetic welfare authorities by keeping her baby. Misery and hardship ensues. Director Paul Maunder brought kitchen sink drama to NZ television with this controversial National Film Unit production. The story can claim to have effected social change, stirring up public debate about the DPB for single mothers. Keep an eye out for a young Paul Holmes as a wannabe lothario. Maunder writes about making it in this piece. Costa Botes writes about it here.

The £7,000 scheme will send texts 72 hours before an appointment with the date and time, reminding the patient to call if they want to cancel.
Out-patients at the Royal Berkshire Hospital miss 35,000 appointments each year and it costs £2 to rearrange an appointment, the hospital said.
The hospital hopes the scheme will cut non-attendance rates from 10% to 5%.
Fully automated
The service has been trialled in the maternity, gynaecology and paediatrics departments and will cover the whole trust, and a total of 350,000 out-patients, in six weeks time.
Ali Browne, Director for Patient Pathways at the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust said: "If a patient fails to attend a clinic appointment, it increases our overall waiting list.
"If a slot is left unused, it means that another patient could have been brought in earlier."
Ms Browne emphasised that the patients are not charged for the service, which is confidential and fully automated.
She said: "However, the success of the service is obviously entirely dependent on having patients' mobile phone numbers, a piece of information we currently do not routinely record.
"To make sure that the service works, it is vital that patients help us by giving us their mobile phone numbers."
The trust said the cost of re-making appointments came from the time spent accessing hard-copy patient records.
They said missed appointments costs the NHS millions of pounds each year.

'All in the Family' Star Jean Stapleton Dies
Jean Stapleton, who was best known for her role as Edith — the wife of Archie Bunker — in "All in the Family" died on Friday at the age of 90. Her family announced on Saturday she died of natural causes.
Stapleton came into the limelight in the 70s after being cast opposite Carroll O'Connor, who played the bigoted and obnoxious Archie Bunker.
Stapleton won three Emmys for her portrayal of Edith, which she played from 1971 to 1979. After the departures of Rob Reiner and Sally Struthers from the show, Stapleton made occasional appearances on the spinoff "Archie Bunker's Place" before leaving the show completely. The 1980 season of the show began with Archie mourning Edith's death.
As we mourn Stapleton, the scene in which Archie mourns Edith (a scene O'Connor won a Peabody Award for) seems fitting:

07 May 2011
When the Canucks needed to come out with a strong effort to eliminate the Preds, they didn't.
They had a good first period, a terrible second and an also terrible third. There are exceptions to what I'm saying of course. Ryan Kesler tried to again single-handedly win the game by himself, and Chris Higgins and Maxim Lapierre played a hard working game. And that's it.
Every other Canuck did not out work the other team, and even worse, made some really terrible decisions. The first goal by the Predators was scored shorthandedbecause Samuelsson coughed up the puck. Then there is the play of Edler on Legwand's second goal. And Bieksa didn't clear the puck out of the zone and the Predators capitalized on that as well.
And then there was the play of the Sedins. They were a combined -7 tonight. Although they looked better tonight, looking like they had better chances, they didn't convert and were held pointless. As fans, we're frustrated at watching them. Frustrated when they get put to take the offensive zone faceoff when maybe AV should be palying the guys who have been scoring. But it shouldn't be this way. Because if the Sedins were scoring, we wouldn't be in this situation, thinking it would be better that they aren't on the ice.
Samuelsson won't travel with the team to Nashville, and maybe right now with his lack of production, that's a good thing for the team.
Game 6 is Monday in Nashville at 5pm. Let's finish it off then boys.

William Loos--Find A Grave
Thank you very much for checking and doing the research on William Loos. I have tried to enter all the past members of the Rock Island Fire Dept in Rock Island, Ill. I was advised that Bill had been buried in Mount Angeles Cemetery. Thank you for taking the time to check out his information with the cemetery office and for letting me know he was cremated and his ashes given to his family. Thanks again for all your effort.

RE: Los Angeles National Cemetery
Hi Conrad,
Just a follow-up... A friend of mine posted a series of photos about the LANC renovation in the forums. Thought you might be interested...

RE: Los Angeles National Cemetery
Hi Conrad,
No need to worry. Your uncle is exactly where he is supposed to be, as is his marker. LANC is currently re-aligning headstones (so they make that perfect pretty symmetrical shape). I believe they do this somewhat regularly (like, every 20 years or something). Each section takes 3-4 months to complete. They do about 10 sections at a time... this has been going on for the better part of this year.
The first part of the process is to remove all the stones (& any concrete previously used to set the stones). They mark each stones placement before they remove them with a semi-permanent pen (it wears off after a few weeks). Next, they take apart and then re-set all the underground stuff that holds the stones in place. They then replace all the stones, and cement them into place. Finally, they re-sod the area.
Part of the re-aligning process is also to raise stones that have sunk too far underground. Thus, exposing the bottom of your uncle's stone.
I agree, that video makes it look like they're doing something horrible. And indeed, in person, it does look horrible in places. But, in the end, everything ends up exactly where it came from, and it all looks beautiful again.
Hope this helps 8-)

RE: Jack Drum
You are very welcome, it wasn't easy but I'm glad I was able to find your Father. It's amazing how different the cemetery looks now, as I said all of those upright markers and bushes are gone now. If you like, I took some photos of the area, and can email them to you. I don't live near the L.A. Veterans cemetery, but if I get there I'll try and get a photo for Blair.

RE: Jack Drum
No problem. Very nice photo, the cemetery looked very different back then. I don't believe there are any upright markers left, and a small mausoleum now sits on part of that section. If I find your Father, I'll post some extra photos so you can see how everything looks now.

[Plugin: Syndicate Press] Free-format for feed items?
currently, Syndicate Press allows to format feed and item titles, but the remaining formatting is pre-determined (e.g. order of fields, line breaks between title and timestamp field). Would it be possible to completely free-format each feed item in the output with a small string-based template?

strftime("...",$updated), $title

Ideally with additional hooks, fields, templates for pre-first-item and post-last-item. This would enable people to super-flexibly assemble the output from feed data building blocks. In my specific case, I'd like to produce a format like the following (similar to the "Releases and Updates" section on http://www.opencsw.org).
* 2011-11-01, Released foo
* 2011-11-01, Released bar
* 2011-10-27, Released foobar
Would like to refrain from hand-hacking TinyFeedParser.php or providing a specifically output-adjusted feed. If formatting a list like the one above is possible with the currently available feature set, I'd be more than happy to know.

London, June 4 (ANI): The parents of Oscar Pistorius' dead girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp have said that they want to know why their daughter was shot.
Steenkamp's parents have spoken of their need for answers even as the Paralympic champion prepares to return to court in Pretoria today, Sky News reports.
Speaking in a television documentary, Steenkamp's mother June Steenkamp said that Pistorius is the only person who knows what happened that fateful night, in the wee hours of Valentine's Day.
Asking Pistorius as to why he shot their daughter, Steenkamp's mother further said that their daughter, who had been dating Pistorius for only three months, must have felt very afraid in the toilet during her final hours, adding that she must have been in severe pain as one bullet had already hit her
Admitting that she and her husband had felt guilty after their daughter's death, June Steenkamp also said that they felt bad that they could not protect her from being killed, adding that they could not believe why they failed as they had been protecting their daughter her entire life.
According to the report, the documentary titled 'Why Did Oscar Pistorius Kill Our Daughter?' also showed some of Steenkamp's personal photographs, letters and drawings for the first time, along with a childhood painting of a gunman, an angel and a stairway to heaven
Mentioning the painting, Steenkamp said that it is a premonition of what happened to their daughter, adding that she is showing her fear and horror in the painting.
Meanwhile, Pistorius' uncle Arnold Pistorius said that their family was shaken by the graphic pictures of the bloody bathroom in the double amputee's home, although he added that they continue to have faith in the South African legal justice system.
Pistorius further said that the family also believes that the Blade Runner's account of what happened on that night will be borne out by the evidence that the defence team will lead in court.
Pistorius is currently on bail after a judge changed his conditions in March, allowing him to travel abroad provided he hands over an itinerary beforehand, the report added. (ANI)

Clear indicators of an upcoming talent shortage threaten governmental ability to serve constituents and accomplish goals. One indicator is the baby-boomer generation nearing retirement from the workforce causing a gap from vacancies in critical positions and specialized jobs. Traditional talent recruitment and selection approaches will not be enough to bridge this divide. Instead, a new approach called talent science will help public sector entities successfully manage workforce challenges by hiring candidates that closely align with organizational role requirements.

Report: Washington QB Cyler Miles suspended for season opener
Washington sophomore quarterback Cyler Miles is suspended for the team's Aug. 30 season opener at Hawaii, according to Adam Jude of The Seattle Times.
Miles and sophomore wide receiver Damore'ea Stringfellow were suspended indefinitely in February after being linked to an assault of two Seahawks fans after the Super Bowl. Miles was not charged and was reinstated in May. Stringfellow, who pleaded guilty to three assault charges, has since transferred.
In eight games last season, Miles completed 37 passes for 418 yards and four touchdowns and rushed for 200 yards on 23 carries in relief of injured starter Keith Price. A former four-star recruit out of Mullen (Colo.) High School, Miles is considered the front-runner to earn Washington's starting quarterback job.
The Huskies finished 9-4 in 2013 and hired former Boise State head coach Chris Petersen to replace Steve Sarkisian, who left for USC.

Gale Storm, R. I. P.
The actress died Saturday at a convalescent hospital in Danville, said her son, Peter Bonnell. He says she died of natural causes.
Storm was a Texas high schooler named Josephine Owaissa Cottle when she won a talent contest for a radio show called 'Gateway to Hollywood' on New Year's Day 1940.
Soon she was in Los Angeles, making movies with Jackie Cooper, Eddie Albert and Audie Murphy.
In 1952 she landed the starring role in 'My Little Margie,' which quickly became an audience favorite and ran until 1955."

I used to watch Gale Storm in afternoon repeats of both My Little Margie and Oh, Susanna when I was growing up in the sixties.
This has been one hell of a week for celebrity deaths. I don't remember a run like this since July of 1973 (when I first began noticing these clusters): Otto Klemperer, Veronica Lake, Lon Chaney, Jr., Robert Ryan, Jack Hawkins, and Bruce Lee - in the space of two weeks.
- steve said...
I think she may have been my first crush. Other than Kate Green, of course. But that was kindergarten.
I loved My Little Margie.
- Ed Gorman said...
Sometime back in the seventies I was doing commercials out of Minneapolis and free lancing articles and stories to a lot of bottom feeding magazines. Gale Storm was appearing at (I think--been a long time) a dinner theater. I arranged for an interview but for some reason it got postponed and then never happened. I liked her but I was equally curious to find out what it was like to work on Edgar G. Ulmer's Club Havana. She was one of the stars. Had to be in her early twenties. Given the four day shooting schedule and the sub-minimal budget you wouldn't think Ulmer would even attempt a relatively complicated musical number with Storm and dancers but he did. He also shot the last several minutes of it in a parking lot (I think) at night. Maybe it was day for night. But whichever it wasn't the kind of shot most Monogram directors would ever have tried--let alone pulled off. She was a cutie, all right.
Wow. I missed that one. Jackie was a HUGE fan of My Little Margie and also watched Oh, Susannah, which I believe had the great Zasu Pitts as her co-star.
- Cap'n Bob Napier said...
Last time I saw her was a good 25 years ago on, I think, The Tonight Show. It was one of those "Are you making a comeback?" "I never went away." moments. Apparently she drank heavily at one time. Very sad, because she was lovely and always seemed so joyful.

Gates, Defense & Hillary: Deft moves
Credit Bob Gates with being a class act.
Mr. Gates, the secretary of Defense, tells Foreign Policy magazine that he plans to step down sometime next year. The only Republican member of the George W. Bush administration to be kept on by Democrat President Barack Obama (a wise move in a time of war) says he did not want the selection of his successor to become the stuff of political machinations.
Gates originally had talked of leaving in January 2012, a presidential election year. So, hats off to Gates for attempting to limit the political circus.
That said, speculation is running rampant about Gates' successor. And more than a few are mentioning Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as a possibility. It's worth serious consideration.
Mrs. Clinton clearly has solidified her credentials at State. And even before, in 2008, she impressed the Trib's editorial board with her rapid-fire extemporaneous assessment of the world's trouble spots. Couple that with what's described as her warm relationship with the military and Defense secretary could be a smart fit.
Oh, yes, there is a political calculation to all this: Should Mr. Obama be a one-term president, the extra line on Hillary Clinton's resume and the experience certainly would bolster her credibility in 2016. But, sans the political considerations, the nation could do far worse than Hillary Clinton running the Pentagon.

Brad Paisley and LL Cool J's "Accidental Racist"…Love It Or Hate It?
It's been all over the news the last few days. Brad Paisley and LL Cool J's new song "Accidental Racist", that is. Why a song would create such a stir when we've got so many other things going in the world had my curiosity peaked.
After listening to it (it was very hard to find online). I guess I really don't get it. I actually think it's a bit silly. I mean, mixing rap with country like they do, well it sounds just plain weird. But I think that everyone's intentions were for the best and I think that should count. The name of the song could also use a little work too.
Some people are extremely offended by the lyrics. I do kind of think that they could be a bit better or rather more thought out, but I guess I might be missing what everyone else is upset about. You can listen to it here(above).
I love Brad Paisley and LL Cool J both and I like what they're trying to achieve with this song. What do you think of it? Do you find the lyrics upsetting or offensive? Take our poll and let us know!

text: '10 National Grades: Wide Receivers 25 Jun Thirty two wide outs received draftable grades entering their senior campaign. Overall the class looks uninspired, just like last year's did at this time. Underclassmen are likely to once again carry the position in April, as they do almost every year, in large part why the senior class of receivers rarely looks outstanding. 1) Niles Paul/Nebraska: Paul is a solid wide out yet we were surprised he is the highest rated player at this position. His 6011/222lbs frame is impressive yet scouts wonder about his forty time. 2nd/3rd Round 2) Dwayne Harris/East Carolina: Harris is a guy we really like and a pass catcher that stands out on film. He's more of a possession wide out though not really built like one (5102/200). 3rd/4th Round 3) Greg Little/North Carolina: Little received the same grade as Harris, 5.9. He's a nice receiver but after recently finishing a boat load of UNC film, we see nothing special in his game. 3rd/4th Round 4) Jerrel Jernigan/Troy State: Jernigan is another who stands out on film, constantly making plays. He plays bigger than his verified size (5087/181lbs) and also brings outstanding speed (4.32-seconds). 3rd/4th Round 5) Stephen Burton/West Texas A&M: The junior college transfer was dominant last season, posting 66 receptions for 888 receiving yards in just seven starts. His verified computer numbers of 6013/212/4.54 are NFL caliber. 3rd/4th Round 6) Detron Lewis/Texas Tech: Lewis stood out to us on tape in 2008 yet seemed less effective last season when Michael Crabtree was no longer drawing the bulk of attention. 3rd/4th Round 7) Titus Young/Boise State: Reliably handed, Young's skill as a return specialist will draw even more teams to him. 3rd/4th Round Terrence Toliver/LSU: A slight surprise as some consider Toliver to be top 75 material. 3rd/4th Round 9) Vincent Brown/San Diego State: Brown gave serious thought to entering last April's draft. He's a reliable pass catcher with average size (5114/195lbs) and speed. 3rd/4th Round 10) Matthew Szczur/Villanova: Grade, 5.4 5th/7th Round 11) Marshall Williams/Wake Forest: Another with average size (6006/186lbs) and speed (4.51) and no outstanding aspect in his game. 5th/7th Round 12) Ryan Whalen/Stanford: Grade, 5.4 5th/7th Round 13) Leonard Hankerson/Miami: There were no official size/speed numbers for Hankerson but we like his game and feel he's the type of guy who could make a move up boards. 5th/7th Round 14) Austin Pettis/Boise State: Pettis offers sold size but poor speed. 5th/7th Round 15) Ronald Johnson/USC: Johnson has been solid yet unspectacular at USC. He's very reliable but is more of a possession wide out at 185lbs. 5th/7th Round 16) James Cleveland/Houston: Grade, 5.3 5th/7th Round 17) Lavon Brazill/Ohio: Brazill offers adequate size (5105/184lbs) and good speed (4.44). He's a threat not only at receiver but as a return specialist. We'd rate him higher in this group, though Brazill does need a good senior season. 5th/7th Round 18) Jeremy Kerley/TCU: Grade, 5.3. 5th/7th Round 19) Jeremy LaFrance/Akron: Grade, 5.3. 5th/7th Round 20) Edmund Gates/Abilene Christian: Grade, 5.2 5th/7th Round 21) Keith Smith/Purdue: Smith is a large (6025/222lbs) possession wide out who plays to his size. 5th/7th Round 22) Marcus Harris/Murray State: Grade, 5.2 5th/7th Round 23) Cecil Shorts III/Mount Union: Shorts is a prospect we scouted in depth last year as he was on the BLESTO/National Sheets moving into the '09 campaign. We thought he showed better game breaking ability in '08 as compared to a year ago, yet he is still a quality prospect. 5th/7th Round 24) Derrell Johnson-Koulianos/Iowa: Dependable wide out with no single outstanding trait to his game. 5th/7th Round 25) Terrance Turner/Indiana: Tuner is a well size pass catcher who plays big. His biggest problem is seeing the ball; Turner the third best receiver at IU. Underclassmen Damarlo Belcher and Tandon Doss are better talents and NFL prospects. 5th/7th Round 26) Armon Binns/Cincinnati: Binns received a grade of 5.2 which is a bit surprising. He's a receiver that really stands out on film the way he takes over games. His size (6024/208lbs, verified) is also enticing. 5th/7th Round 27) Ricardo Lockette/Belhaven: Grade, 5.2 5th/7th Round 28) James Rodgers/Oregon State: The dynamic Rodgers is a game breaking wide out and return specialist. His frame, which barely measures 5-feet, 7-inches, will hurt his stock. 5th/7th Round 29) Jordan White/Western Michigan: Grade, 5.1 5th/7th Round 30) Jimmy Young/TCU: Young really looked like an up and comer to us in 2008 yet his game took a big step back last season. Besides his production numbers almost being cut in half, Young looked fractionally as reliable catching the ball. 5th/7th Round 31) Gregory Salas/Hawaii: Salas' verified measurement are 6013/205 but there's no forty time listed. We've been assured he's a high 4.3-second athlete. 5th/7th Round 32) Joseph Morgan/Walsh: Grade, 5.0 5th/7th Round Notes: Moving down the list we were surprised Terrence McCrae of Ohio was not given a draftable grade but keep his name on your radar. McCrae really stepped up his game last season and his verified computer numbers (6027/193/4.43) are terrific. Recently suspended Delashaun Dean of Arizona was given a very low grade (4.7) as was David Ausberry of USC and Mark Dell of Michigan State. Both received grades of 4.5. Duval Kumara of Notre Dame was graded as a camp guy, though we think he's much better. USC transfer Vidal Hazelton, who will be on the field at Cincinnati this season, was given a grade of 2.5, which essentially means "wait and see". How does this compare to last season? The highest rated senior receiver entering the 2009 season was Brandon LaFell who has stamped with a grade of 7.0- one of the best of any prospect in June of 2009. Mardy Gilyard followed with a grade of 6.0, then Chris McGaha (5.8) and three who received grades of 5.7; Andre Roberts, Eric Decker, Jeremy Williams. Twenty-seven senior receivers were given draftable grades one year ago.

The Real Cause of Mass Shootings and Why Gun Control Will Never Work
Andrew Puhanic, Contributor
Activist Post.com
Saturday, August 4, 2012
There has been considerable debate throughout the United States whether the government should enforce more stringent gun control policies on ordinary citizens.
Due to the recent mass shooting in the Aurora movie theatre, the globalists and opponents of gun ownership and the second amendment in the United States have capitalized on the emotion of a grieving nation to push their false agenda.
People deceptively blame guns as the root cause of mass shootings such as the one in the Aurora movie theatre and Port Arthur Australia to push their brainwashed ideological agenda that guns kill people.
The cause of these devastating mass shootings is not how easily accessible guns are, but rather that they are the direct result of a lack of adequate mental healthcare and the glorification of violence.
Of the most recent mass shooting, the fundamental root cause can be attributed to mental illness and not the accessibility of firearms. In a report commissioned by the United Nations in 2002, it was revealed that on average only 4.1% of total health budgets worldwide was spent on mental health.

Kigali (Rwanda), Oct 11 (IANS) The Russian government is looking forward to strengthening bilateral relations with Rwanda, the country's deputy minister for foreign affairs said Thursday.
Mikhail Leonidovich Bogdanov told reporters after meeting Rwandan President Paul Kagame at his office in Village Urugwiro, Xinhua reported.
Bogdanov, who is in-charge of relations with African countries, was in Rwanda to explore areas of cooperation and enhance the existing bilateral cooperation between the two countries.
"We discussed with the president on how we can improve our existing friendly relations and we agreed to strengthen the political dialogue between our countries on international and regional issues," he said.
The minister said that Rwanda and Russia would next week celebrate 50 years of bilateral relations and it was paramount to take the affairs to greater heights.
"We cooperate with Rwanda at United Nations Security Council (UNSC) and we really appreciate the policies of Rwanda as a non-permanent member of the council," the Russian minister said.
About 800 Rwandan students have graduated from Russian institutes and universities over the last 50 years in various disciplines including law, medicine, international affairs and political science.

According to the American College of Gastroenterology's guidelines, there are three criteria that must be present to diagnose acute pancreatitis, including:
- Severe abdominal pain
- Amylase or lipase levels that are three times higher than the upper limit of normal
- "Characteristic" abdominal imaging results
Chronic pancreatitis may also be diagnosed using these tests as well as others.
More about the tests used for both types of pancreatitis:
- Amylase is the pancreatic and salivary gland enzyme responsible for digesting carbohydrates. The level will increase 2 to 12 hours after the beginning of symptoms of acute pancreatitis and peaks at 12 to 72 hours afterward. It may rise 5 to 10 times the normal level and will usually return to normal within a week. Pancreatitis is likely if the level reaches 3 times above the upper limit of normal. Amylase also may be monitored in people with chronic pancreatitis; it will often be moderately elevated until the cells that produce it are destroyed (as a result of the pancreatitis), at which point blood levels of amylase may be decreased. It should be noted that amylase is an enzyme that has different forms called isoenzymes: P-amylase refers to the form made by the pancreas and S-amylase refers to the form made by the salivary glands. Normally, a total amylase test is requested. Sometimes, the isoenzyme tests are requested individually to distinguish pancreatic and non-pancreatic causes of increased amylase.
- Lipase is the pancreatic enzyme that, along with bile from the liver, digests fats. It is another test commonly used to diangose pancreatitis. Its level increases in the blood within 4 to 8 hours of the beginning of an acute attack and peaks at 24 hours afterward. Lipase is both more sensitive and more specific than amylase for the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. However, there are other sources of lipase in the digestive tract. In some assays that detect non-pancreatic lipase, milder elevations may occur as a result of non-pancreatic disorders. In people with pancreatitis, lipase may rise to several times its normal level and remain elevated longer than amylase. Like with the amylase test, pancreatitis is diagnosed if the lipase level reaches 3 times above the upper limit of normal. As cells are destroyed with chronic pancreatitis and as lipase production drops to less than 10% of the normal level, steatorrhea (fatty, foul-smelling stools) will form. As chronic pancreatitis progresses, amylase and lipase may be normal or decreased, even during acute attacks.
- Trypsin is the pancreatic enzyme that digests proteins. Measurement of serum trypsin is thought to be the most sensitive blood test for pancreatitis, particularly chronic pancreatitis, but is not widely available and is not routinely used. The available test is variably identified as trypsinogen, trypsin-like immunoreactivity, or immunoreactive trypsin.
Tests that may be used to check for complications of acute pancreatitis include:
- Complete blood count (including white blood cell count)
- Comprehensive metabolic panel (including bilirubin, liver enzymes)
- Glucose
- Calcium
- Magnesium
- C-reactive protein (a measure of inflammation)
Other tests that may be used to help diagnose and evaluate chronic pancreatitis include:
- Fecal fat
- Fecal pancreatic elastase
- Sweat (chloride) test for diagnosis of cystic fibrosis
- Molecular biology tests for genetic mutations such as those associated with cystic fibrosis
Non-laboratory tests used to diagnose pancreatitis may include:
- Abdominal ultrasound
- Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP): a test that uses a flexible scope inserted through the mouth and threaded through the esophagus to see and document damage to the pancreas and/or bile ducts
- Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP): a type of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) used to image the pancreas and bile ducts; often used before or instead of ERCP because it is faster and non-invasive; also useful in distinguiding pancreatitis from pancreatic cancer
- Computed tomography (CT) scan
- Secretin testing (not widely available) in which a tube is positioned in the duodenum to collect pancreatic secretions stimulated by intravenous (IV) administration of secretin. Secretin is a hormone that causes the pancreas to release fluid containing digestive enzymes. The amount of enzymes, such as lipase and trypsin, and bicarbonate in the pancreatic secretion is measured and compared to normal values.

Hi Debbie and Phil,
Thanks for your question.
I'm afraid there's no magic legal bullet for your issue. The agents are correct in that they should now apply for accelerated possesion proceedings as, clearly, you are entitled to assuming the original notice was served in the correct form. If it was not then you will be able to sue the agent to recover the loss you suffer.
In the end, you pay the agents to make these applications and are entitled to chase them again (and again) about getting on with the application. Do that, be persistent. If they admit they do not know what they are doing then you're going to have to negotiate with them about getting a solicitor to do it for them. Plainly the costs of the instructing a solicitor will be the main point of negotiate but I would ask them to pay for it because it's no doubt a breach of their duties under your agreement with them. If they want your business in the future they will pay.
If the tenants do not leave after the order for possession then you will have to get the Court bailiffs to evict them.
Though I'm certain your very concerned about your daughter's accomodation, I'm afraid it's not really relevant to your dispute with the current tenants.
If this is useful please kindly click accept so that I may be rewarded for my time. It will be gratefully received and you will be free to ask follow up questions.
Kind regards,

US presidential election hardest fought in recent memory
US presidential election hardest fought in recent
memory, UC expert
November 4, 2012
The US presidential election battle between President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney has been one of the most interesting and hard fought in recent memory, a University of Canterbury expert said today.
With just days left to the November 7 (NZ time) election, most national polls show the two candidates essentially tied, UC political scientist Dr Amy Fletcher said.
Poll results in virtually all of the states now crucial to win the Electoral College are within a fine margin of error, making it extremely difficult to predict the outcome of this election, she said.
``This election is no longer being fought state by state, but county by county. The outcome hinges on voter turnout, and advisors to both men can be seen on television accusing the other side's pollsters of faulty assumptions in their statistical models.
``Constitutionally, while the popular vote matters in determining the outcome in each of the US states, the real number to look for on election night is the total number of Electoral College votes won by each candidate.
``Electors are real people, generally chosen by political party committees within each state. They meet on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December, to formally cast votes for the President of the United States. Electors are pledged to vote for their party's winning candidate, though, technically, a "faithless elector" could vote for someone else.
``The Electoral College reflects the American Founders' commitment to federalism and their aversion to the potential 'mob rule" of direct democracy. Each state has a fixed number of Electoral College votes, determined by the number of its congressional districts plus its two senators.
``The magic number on election night is 270. This figure represents half of the Electoral College total of 538 votes, plus the magical one vote needed to reach a majority. The first candidate to reach 270 Electoral College votes wins the White House.
``This is why certain states, with large Electoral College allotments and very close polls, have become the battlegrounds of this election. President Obama can likely count on approximately 201 Electoral College votes gained in blue states like California, New York, and Illinois.
``Romney can be confident about winning Texas, Louisiana and Utah, and can "count on" approximately 191 Electoral College votes across the "red" states. Both candidates will need to concentrate their energy, money and time in winning the swing states of Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia and Florida, among others, in order to achieve the 270 total.''
It was possible, indeed it happened in 2000 with the contest between President George W. Bush and Vice President Al Gore, that in a very close election a candidate could win the popular vote and lose the Electoral College. The Electoral College tally would prevail.
If no candidate achieved a majority in the Electoral College, the House of Representatives would choose the President and the Senate would choose the Vice President. This meant that America could, in extreme circumstances; end up with a Romney-Biden administration.
Dr Fletcher said the first televised debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney exerted an influence arguably not seen since the Kennedy-Nixon debates of 1960. Romney's excellent performance in this forum—and the President's comparatively lackluster one—galvanized support for the Republican candidate.
Hurricane Sandy is a wild card in this election. Both candidates suspended campaigning in the middle of the crisis. President Obama took the lead in responding to the national emergency and has garnered words of praise for his astute handling of the federal disaster response from some prominent Republicans, such as Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey.
``However, the storm hit hardest many states and districts that tilt Democratic in this election. Whether and how all of the polling places function on November 7 (NZ time) remains to be seen.
``The choice between Obama and Romney on domestic issues boils down to the economy, and to whether Americans choose a continuation of the President's largely neo-Keynesian approach to solving the economic crisis or the comparative fiscal austerity of Romney/Ryan.
``With respect to foreign policy, there are differences at the margin but much more grounds for consensus. Key to both candidates is the perception that the future of the 21st century lies in the Asia-Pacific and that it is crucial for America to position itself as a long-term strategic and economic partner nation in this region,'' Dr Fletcher said.

A LARGE summer house in a Marlow garden which has attracted strong opposition from neighbours has been given the green light.
Wycombe District Council's planning committee has approved a retrospective proposal for a building in the back yard of a home in Claremont Gardens.
The application attracted controversy because of the size of the building, with a number of neighbours writing in to the council to oppose it.
Ian Milburn of Claremont Gardens, representing neighbours, argued that the development was too big and intrusive.
"Construction this big has a significant visual impact on the surrounding properties and gardens and is completely out of character of the area," he said at the meeting on Wednesday night.
Councillor Richard Scott was concerned at the size and scale of the building.
He said: "I don't think it can really be described as a summer house."
Fellow tory Cllr Alan Hill called it "very dominant" but others including Cllrs Clive Harris and Alan Turner disagreed.
Cllr Turner said: "I was quite mortified when I first saw a picture, I thought this was going to be huge but as I arrived the impact is absolutely minimal on surrounding properties."
Opponents claimed that it would end up being used for purposes other than a summer house. Cllr Hugh McCarthy expressed concerns it was such a size as could become a 'granny annex' in future.
But Tony England, speaking on behalf of applicant Richardy Potyka, dismissed this, saying: "Under no circumstances was it intended to be used in any other capacity. Rumours that its intended for any other use are inaccurate."
The building will be further screened, he added.
The committee went with officials' recommendation to grant permission, voting 12 to 1 in favour.

Please take the publication date into consideration for any date references. ] [ Media Contact: TPWD News, email@example.com, 512-389-8030 ] [SL] Aug. 1, 2011 Deer Disease Test Results Come Back Clean AUSTIN -Chronic Wasting Disease and Bovine Tuberculosis were not detected in more than 300 deer held illegally on an East Texas deer breeding facility, according to findings at the Texas Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory. The test results mean these deadly wildlife diseases have not been discovered in Texas deer, and enable several deer breeding facilities whose stock had co-mingled with the illegally held animals to resume normal operations. "We are greatly relieved with the results from the disease testing," said Carter Smith, executive director of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. "We take disease issues very seriously because of the potential impacts to Texas' natural resources, the public's wildlife, and the multi-billion dollar hunting and deer breeding industries." While the lab results provide a positive conclusion to an extensive epidemiological investigation by state wildlife officials, they do not moderate the actions of a 77-year-old former deer breeder that led to the need for disease testing. Billy Powell pleaded guilty on June 14 to the felony offense of smuggling at least 37 white-tailed deer, over a 3-year time span, from Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio into Texas in violation of state and federal laws. CWD has been documented in at least 10 counties in Illinois, posing a direct link for disease risk in Texas as a result of Powell's illegal importation activities. "It is regrettable that Mr. Powell forced the state to take this action in the first place," said Smith. "After he repeatedly smuggled deer illegally into Texas and risked introducing devastating diseases into both wild deer herds and penned deer operations, thereby threatening the state with immense economic harm, the Department had no choice but to step in. Quite simply, the hundreds of thousands of deer hunters who go to the field annually in pursuit of wild game and the thousands of landowners who manage the state's wildlife responsibly don't deserve to have their enjoyment of wildlife jeopardized by someone who shows such little regard for the public's resources." The implications from a CWD outbreak in Texas' internationally recognized white-tailed deer population, both free-ranging and captive, would be significant. Deer hunting is an important cultural and recreational component of Texas lifestyle, pursued annually by more than 600,000 sportsmen, and has an economic impact to the state in excess of $2.2 billion a year, according to published reports. In addition, studies show deer breeding activities have an economic impact in Texas of about $650 million annually. CWD was originally described in captive animals 35 years ago in Colorado. However, during the last five years, the fatal disease has been detected in free-ranging cervids in several surrounding states and Canada. In 2002, a year after Texas closed its borders to importation of deer due to disease risks, CWD was reported in free-ranging deer in South Dakota, Wisconsin, New Mexico, Illinois, and Utah. Currently, 20 states and Canadian provinces are tagged as having documented CWD in their deer, elk or moose. The progression of the disease into new areas remains persistent. In 2005, West Virginia detected a positive. Virginia got a confirmed case in 2010 and this year Maryland joined the list of infected states. Further proof that CWD can spread, remain dormant for years and ultimately impact a resource; a shipment of elk from an infected herd in Canada to Korea in 1997 went undetected for nearly 10 years. Despite tracing back the imported animals, which were euthanized for testing in 2005, CWD persists in that country. Last year, one out of three elk slaughtered for human consumption on one farm tested positive for CWD; the entire herd of about 100 animals had to be euthanized. CWD appears to pose no threat to human health. More than 1,200 permits are issued annually to deer breeders in Texas covering an estimated 80,000 whitetails held in captivity. The vast majority of deer breeders operate within guidelines designed to minimize risk of disease transmission. Since CWD surveillance efforts were initiated in Texas a decade ago, more than 35,000 deer samples have been submitted for testing. TPWD has tested only about 800 illegally-possessed deer from 32 different violators. "People ask me if I'm confident we don't have CWD in Texas after testing that many animals, and I tell them my confidence level grows each year," said Mitch Lockwood, TPWD's big game program director. "But, that confidence drops to zero every time we learn about a deer being smuggled into the state. The threat is real and the consequences can be substantial; just ask any of those other states that are dealing with CWD in their deer herds." -30-

Maker Faire: How the DIY tech force has become strong
From creating custom 3D printing to vegetable synthesisers, the home-made technology movement seems to be catching on all over the world.
DIY technology has traditionally taken place in a bedroom, garage or on a kitchen table. But now a growing trend has emerged of "hack days" or DIY fairs offering enthusiasts advice on how to make their own technology.
Seven years after the Maker Faire movement started in San Francisco, the idea seems to have caught on all over the world. The ethos is less about aptitude and more about attitude – people must show a willingness to join in and give it a try.
BBC Click's LJ Rich explores just how hard it can be to "do it yourself" by doing it herself at one of the 80 Maker Faires planned worldwide this year. She discovers that looking beyond its DIY aspect you can see the innovation and our behaviour around it, and it looks like we really are capable of shaping our own future.

Dear Friends,
Over the course of its history, our institution's name has changed several times: La Crosse Normal School (1909); La Crosse State Teachers College (1927); Wisconsin State College, La Crosse (1951); Wisconsin State University- La Crosse (1964); and, ultimately, the University of Wisconsin- La Crosse (1971). But what hasn't changed through our first century of service is our commitment to providing an outstanding educational experience to our students.
In my time here, I have been privileged to meet many amazing students and witness the transformations they experience while attending UW-L. It is clear to me that our outstanding reputation is built on the accomplishments of these students and the success they enjoy in the classroom and after graduation. Much of that success, I believe, is a result of the La Crosse Experience.
I have heard that phrase from so many students and alumni. They often reference the caring nature of our exceptional faculty and staff, the beauty of the region, and the sense of community on campus. Many universities claim to be special in their marketing efforts but I believe the La Crosse Experience truly is what makes us unique.
However, our students, both present and future, face significant challenges ahead. In particular, dramatic cuts in public funding have pushed a significant share of the cost of pursuing a college degree directly to students and their families. This is making it much more difficult for all students to attain the tremendous benefits of higher education experienced by previous generations. Our goal with the Share the La Crosse Experience Scholarship Campaign is to make sure that UW-L remains affordable and accessible.
Please join me in ensuring that our students will benefit from the tradition of the La Crosse Experience. Your support of our students is the greatest gift I can imagine and just another example of what makes this such a special place.
Sharing your pride in UW-L,
Joe Gow

An 81-year-old Burnham man has been stopped from driving after he was involved in a collision with a cyclist in Althorne.
Officers were called by the ambulance service after the collision at Burnham Road on January 2 at around 4.45pm.
The 64-year-old cyclist from Burnham was in hospital for eight days with head and ankle injuries after he was involved in a collision with a silver Citroen C5 car.
The car driver was uninjured.
He subsequently failed the standard eye sight test and his entitlement to drive has been removed by police and a report has been submitted to the DVLA.
The test requires drivers to read a standard number plate from a distance of 20.5 metres.
It is a road traffic offence to be unable to read a number plate in good daylight from this distance.
Any witnesses, or anyone with information about events leading to the collision, should contact Pc Mel Warren at Chelmsford Road Policing unit on 101.

So what's up with that? Three hours in the charger, didn't update the meter and it didn't get further than 96%?? (Using the 2.5 hours charge as 'normal'.)
I unplugged the Glo and synced it to try and get the battery below 95% so it might charge... once the sync had completed, the battery read 98%!
I would have guessed a bad battery would charge extremely quickly... is my guess wrong? Could a bad battery also take forever and/or not get to its maximum charge? (Hmm that also sounds reasonable...)
No reason a bad battery might charge quickly. In fact, if it is prone to self-discharge, the 'leakage' would make it take even longer to charge, if anything.

ALMATY – Kashagan, the biggest crude discovery in the last 40 years, has produced its first oil after eight years of delays and costs that reached $48 billion, more than double early estimates.
The start of output means the Caspian Sea project has narrowly beaten an Oct. 1 deadline that Kazakh Energy Minister Sauat Mynbayev set in 2008, saying the partners risked losing "tens of billions of dollars" in compensation for costs if they missed it.
Expenses had mounted as the operators undertook drilling from a man-made island to unlock crude 4,200 meters under the seabed in a pressurized reservoir with a high concentration of lethal sour gas.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Wake Forest won't have to travel far for its second bowl game in as many seasons.
The Demon Deacons accepted a bid Sunday to play in the Meineke Bowl in Charlotte, 80 miles southwest of the school's Winston-Salem campus. Wake Forest (8-4) will face Connecticut (9-3) of the Big East on Dec. 29 at Bank of America Stadium.
It will mark the first time Wake Forest has played in consecutive bowls. The Demon Deacons were one of the biggest surprises in college football last season, when they went 11-3, won the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game and lost to Louisville in the Orange Bowl.
While Wake Forest didn't match the success of 2006, it still had an impressive season for a school that used to be the doormat of the ACC. Behind quarterback Riley Skinner and an opportunistic defense, the Demon Deacons had only their fifth eight-win season.
Wake Forest will face UConn, which ended up as the Big East co-champions after West Virginia's shocking loss to Pittsburgh on Saturday. The Huskies earned their first Top 25 ranking this season before losing to West Virginia last month, ending UConn's Bowl Championship Series hopes.
The Meineke Bowl will kick off at 1 p.m. and be televised by ESPN. The payout to both teams is $750,000.
