Leaders to Discuss Impact of Federal Legislation on Health Care
AUSTIN – Leaders from The University of Texas System administration and its six health institutions will conduct a roundtable discussion on the impact of recent legislation extending health insurance coverage to millions of Americans at a committee meeting during the next Board of Regents meeting at 1:30 p.m. CT on Wednesday, Aug. 11.
Presidents of each of the UT System's six health institutions as well as the executive vice chancellor for health affairs, Dr. Kenneth I. Shine, will participate in the discussion along with the Regents on the Board's Health Affairs Committee.
Under the recently passed legislation, Texas is expected to add up to 2 million people to the current Medicaid rolls. Projections indicate that the proportion of uninsured persons in Texas will decline from the current 25 percent to as little as 8 percent. While government funding for health insurance coverage will increase under the new legislation, Disproportionate Share Payments (DSH) and other supplemental funding for uninsured populations will be cut under Medicare and Medicaid beginning in 2014.
The new federal legislation presents opportunities and challenges for Texas and its overburdened health care system. The discussion will focus on how the legislation is expected to impact the UT institutions and what actions will be necessary to address critical issues such as health care delivery models, reimbursement models, and expanding the health care workforce.
Parking for the news media will be available at the guard kiosk on Colorado Street between 7th and 6th Streets. Out-of-town reporters are encouraged to watch the discussion via a live webcast.
About the University of Texas System Health Institutions
Within the UT System's six health institutions, there are four medical schools, two dental schools and three nursing schools, as well as schools of allied health science, biomedical sciences, health information sciences and public health. Through three teaching hospitals owned by UT System institutions and numerous affiliations with other teaching hospitals, as well as a network of community clinics, the health institutions are major providers of health care. UT System owned and affiliated hospitals and clinics have more than 5.2 million outpatients and the hospitals account for more than 1.45 million hospital days annually.

Cranky elbow halts Sandoval's throwing session
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The Giants are close to determining whether third baseman Pablo Sandoval's ailing right elbow can heal quickly enough to enable him to participate in the April 1 season opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy said that Sandoval, who's trying to recover from inflammation in his ulnar nerve and cope with a bone spur in the back of his elbow, tried playing light catch Saturday but stopped upon feeling discomfort.
Bochy said that he wasn't yet ready to declare that Sandoval should begin the season on the disabled list. But the next 24 hours could be critical.
"If he's not showing improvement tomorrow, I'll probably be worried," Bochy said Saturday.
Bochy said in response to a question that surgery "has not been discussed at all" for the 26-year-old Sandoval, whose injury history includes fractured hamate bones in both hands and left foot, left hamstring and right shoulder maladies.
Bochy still hopes that he can field San Francisco's projected starting lineup, which features Sandoval batting third and playing third base, in a couple of games during the Bay Bridge Series next weekend against Oakland.
Injuries to key performers have jarred most of San Francisco's National League West rivals. Arizona center fielder Adam Eaton, Los Angeles shortstop Hanley Ramirez and San Diego third baseman Chase Headley are expected to be sidelined for a month or longer. The Giants have no desire to join this group by losing Sandoval, the Most Valuable Player of last year's World Series who was batting .435 in Cactus League play before being sidelined last week.
Two other Giants are closer to regaining full health. Bochy said that second baseman Marco Scutaro (lower back) wanted to play Saturday but was ordered to rest for at least another day. Switch-hitting catcher Hector Sanchez (right shoulder) has resumed swinging from both sides of the plate and throwing. Bochy said that Sanchez might be able to catch in a game in two or three days.

As a starting point, I think historicity and the use of words like "authentic" is probably a good support in practice. But as practice progresses and experience builds, I think the important part is what works ... what you are really willing to investigate right down to the ground. Can the Dharma be limited in some way? I doubt it.
It's not a matter of better or worse, for my money ... it's what actually works, what actually takes you home, what actually instills your own peaceful life.
BlackBird wrote:So so far I've read that the answers have been to solve the dilemma by avoiding thinking about it? Disregard it because it's not important whether the Buddha actually spoke it, if it works it works?
Forgive me if I am reading the wrong thing into these responses, that is not my intention.
BlackBird wrote:For me I am quite a skeptic Dan, so in order for me to believe something, it has to be factual, and The Buddha being a real being who was really enlightened is the key to the lock for me so to speak - The whole premise for me rests on the idea that he was there, enlightened, and thus was the proof for my pudding. But thanks for your clarification I am starting to understand your perspective now
taintless wrote:Ok, well said.
Your issue here is that your faith in the Buddha's teachings, stems from their historical facticity, and not their validity.
In other words, if someone said to you: go here, make merit, do good, be virtuous and enjoy the fruits thereof. But you found out that the person was not "real".
Then you would not follow his advice, but say someone said: go here, make demerit, do evil, be immoral and suffer the consequences. And you found out this person was real.
Then you would follow his advice?
Which is wiser, to follow some teaching based on the idea that it is beneficial, or to follow some teaching based on the idea that it was historically "true".
taintless wrote:But their historical validity do not prove that he says is true.
It merely proves that he said it. His "historical existence" does nothing to justify what he said.
How then do you plan to prove that his teachings culminate in what he said they did?
BlackBird wrote:If I found out tomorrow that the Buddha wasn't real. I would probably lose most faith in the teachings, and no longer consider myself a Buddhist.

Food and Wine devoted their entire March 2011 issue to Healthy Recipes. And I'm happy to say, they also included something called "A Week of Healthy Wines" in which their Executive Wine Editor, Ray Isle, set out to spend a week of healthy wine drinking. Some of his findings: A 2008 analysis of 40 European table wines showed everyone of them contained pesticide residues, including known carcinogens. Isles managed to find Organic wines from $11 to $30 all of which he praised highly. Then he went on a Resveratrol binge.
|Donut or Wine?
Donut or Wine?
Resveratrol, found in red wines, prolongs cell life which of course leads to the belief that you can prolong your life by drinking wine with plenty of the stuff in it. Pinot Noirs from cool climates are particularly high in resveratrol. This finding led into a list of 5 Willamette, Oregon, Pinot Noirs running $20 to $ 30 each. You can see them all at their website: http://www.foodandwine.com/articles/my-week-of-healthy-wine-drinking.
But the chart that thrilled me the most was the one comparing calorie counts for Fast Foods vs Wine. A Krispy Kreme Glazed Doughnut at 190 calories equaled 1 2/3 glasses of Pinot Blanc. Bye Bye, Krispy Kreme. A large fries from MacDonald's loaded 500 calories onto your tray. No thanks, I'll take the 4 1/3 glasses of Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon. And that Taco Bell Taco Salad with salsa? I'd much prefer the 1 ¼ bottles of Charles Krug Chardonnay I can have in its stead. But back to Jamie Oliver…if I can find my way after all that wine.

And that Taco Bell Taco Salad with salsa? I'd much prefer the 1 ¼ bottles of Charles Krug Chardonnay I can have in its stead. But back to Jamie Oliver…if I can find my way after all that wine.
It's no surprise that Jamie Oliver would land in any magazine featuring healthy recipes. If you watched "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution", you've seen how he took on school lunches in the most obese city in the US, Huntington, West Virginia, and transformed them into healthy meals. Now he's back for a second season, this time centered in Los Angeles. But if you thought things were bad in Huntington, just wait until you see what kids in LA get to eat. It's really revolting. Serving children the worst unidentifiable food-like objects, the Los Angeles Unified School District just plain refuses to have Jamie in any one of their schools. So Jamie is taking his campaign to the people...the very few people in Los Angeles who apparently care at all what is making their children diabetic and unhealthy and obese. Jamie appeared crushed in his first show. Let's see where this goes. But if you care about kids and what they eat, this eyeopener is on NBC Tuesday nights at 8 pm. My guess is that if anyone ate the delicious steak recipe I'm about to give you, they'd jumped on Jamie's bandwagon fast.
Today's recipe is one of the most satisfying ways I've eaten healthy in a long time. It features a wonderful piece of lean beef topped with a terrific salsa. There's something very spring-like in the flavors. The acidity of the salsa with its lemon, mint and cilantro overtones is a perfect complement to the char of the meat. I can scarcely wait to try this on a charcoal grill but I got a great results using a cast iron pan and cooking the steak on the stove top. It's quick too—you can get it on the table in 30 minutes flat.
The second recipe is one for English peas. Right now, Trader Joes has bags of shelled peans. Because of the way the store is laid out, the check-out lines pass the vegetable section. I've stood watching as the line moves along amazed at how irresistible shoppers find these peas. I was one of them. I took them home, vividly remembering when I was a very little boy picking peas with my Grandfather, then shucking them and then handing them over to my Grandmother who cooked them smothered in cream and butter. They were delicious but they hardly qualified as "healthy". So I looked for a recipe for English peas. I quickly found one attributed to Paula Deen, the doyenne of Southern cooking on the Food Channel. Now I have nothing against the woman but I am "just not that into her." And when I show you her precise recipe, I think you may understand why:
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
2 cans (14 1/2-ounces) English peas, drained
Melt the butter in small pot and add the peas. Cook over medium heat until peas are warm.
Much more fun than this recipe were the comments posted by people who'd tried it. "I think I got your recipe mixed up [probably because it was too complicated] I used 2 cans of butter and 1/4 cup of peas and I suffered a mild heart attack. I hope you will improve this recipe to make it clearer and simpler for those of us who didn't go to culinary school. Other than those complaints, it tasted fine." I mean does this really constitute a recipe? I think not.
I was able to find a recipe that was wonderful. It was submitted to food.com by someone calling themselves "TrueBrit". It let you use fresh peas or small frozen ones. It has a wonderful flavor that Andrew raved about. I liked it very much too. That was until I spied a frozen package of peas in Trader's Joe's freezer " Minted Peas, tender green peas in a minted butter". I took those home and quite honestly they were every bit as good as fresh. But here, for those of you far from Trader Joe's is the recipe.
Recipe for Sweet English Peas
1 lb tiny peas
2 ounces butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint or 1 teaspoon dried mint
1 teaspoon sugar
salt and pepper, to taste
1. Cook peas in a small amount of boiling, salted water, until tender (if using frozen peas, follow package instructions).
2. Drain, and set aside.
3. In another saucepan, heat the butter, and add the peas, mint and sugar.
4. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes, tossing to mix.
5. Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve.
Recipe for Jamie's Oliver's Steak with Herbed Salsa
Jamie's recipe called for flank steak. I used New York strip steak instead which was cut to about ½ - ¾ inch thick. "Tomatoes on the vine" are reliably red and ripe at this time of year here. I wouldn't wait til the local varieties arrive. This is like a taste of Spring on your plate. And lord knows we could all use some Spring.
2 medium tomatoes, finely chopped
4 scallions, finely chopped
1 cup cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1/2 cup mint leaves, finely chopped
1 large jalapeño, seeded and minced
1 garlic clove, minced
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt and freshly ground pepper
One 1-pound flank steak
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1. Light a grill or heat a grill pan. In a bowl, combine the tomatoes with the scallions, cilantro, mint, jalapeño, garlic and lemon juice. Season the salsa with salt and pepper.
2. Rub the steak with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill over high heat until nicely charred outside and medium-rare, 3 minutes per side. Transfer the steak to a carving board; let rest for 5 minutes. Top with salsa and serve.

– Staring down a three-game sweep at the hands of its fiercest rival, No. 10 Duke was tough enough to fight its way through to the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament championship game.
Tricia Liston
scored 17 points and
Ka'lia Johnson
hit the go-ahead free throws with 44.1 seconds left to help the Blue Devils rally late to beat No. 13 North Carolina 66-61 in Saturday's semifinals.
Johnson's two free throws broke a 60-all tie for the second-seeded Blue Devils (27-5), who played with veteran poise late to hold off freshman star Diamond DeShields and the sixth-seeded Tar Heels (24-9).
Now, despite being down four point guards from the start of the season - including former league player of the year
Chelsea Gray
- the Blue Devils are within a win of their ninth ACC title.
"We've gone through a lot as a team and it hasn't really, I don't think, worn us down emotionally," senior
Haley Peters
said. "It's just made us really become a closer team and really, we just want to be as good as we can be. ... We've been energized by it, I think."
Duke, which used just eight players, faces No. 2 Notre Dame in Sunday's final. The unbeaten Fighting Irish beat the Blue Devils by a combined 32 points in the regular-season meetings.
"It's a great opportunity for us, a really great opportunity for us because they're very, very good," Duke coach
Joanne P. McCallie
said. "They're definitely picked to beat us, obviously. They're ahead of us, they have been all year. And that's just the way it is."
At the end, it was lesser-known players like Johnson and
Oderah Chidom
stepping up to the foul line to cap Duke's comeback and put away the Tar Heels. Johnson was shooting 67.6 percent from the line and Chidom 55.1, but they made six straight free throws in the final minute.
DeShields scored 25 points and hit five 3-pointers to lead the Tar Heels, with four of those coming after halftime. But she missed a 3 for the tie with about 10 seconds left after Chidom hit two free throws to make it 64-61.
"I thought it was going in," DeShields said. "I wanted it. I wanted the ball. Actually, I knew it was going in. It came in and came out."
DeShields also committed a technical foul for taunting Peters after hitting a jaw-dropping step-back 3 with 8:08 left, one of a series of small mistakes that proved costly when Duke pushed ahead late.
UNC made just 2 of 7 free throws in the final 6:14, including reserve N'Dea Bryant making 1 of 2 after being fouled on a jumper after Johnson's go-ahead free throws. The Tar Heels also somehow managed to have the wrong people taking shots at key moments, with Latifah Coleman missing a driving basket as the shot clock wound down in a tie game and Bryant being bailed out on her quick jumper by drawing
Elizabeth Williams
' fifth foul.
"We made some mistakes down in the end we'd like to be able to replay," UNC associate head coach Andrew Calder said. "But you don't get to do that, so we'll learn from that and we'll drive on."
The Tar Heels won the first meeting in Duke's Cameron Indoor Stadium 89-78, their first win in the building since 2008. DeShields went for 30 points in that game, then went for 18 in last weekend's 64-60 home win to close the regular season.
North Carolina was poised to add another win against Duke, with DeShields knocking down three 3s and fellow freshman Allisha Gray one of her own to break a 31-all halftime tie and give UNC a 43-35 lead with 16:42 left.
But Duke slowly climbed back in it. Liston made just two shots after halftime, but the second was a huge 3-pointer at the 2:02 mark to cut the Tar Heels' lead to 59-58. Then Williams scored on a stickback to tie the game at 60 with 1:18 left.
Williams finished with 12 points, nine rebounds and three blocks, including a big one on Stephanie Mavunga's stickback attempt on Coleman's missed drive. Mavunga fouled Johnson on the scramble for the rebound to set up the go-ahead free throws.
Chidom hit the final two free throws with 9.2 seconds left after DeShields' last miss to seal Duke's trip to the final.

THE next piece of work by renowned artist Banksy is thought to have been discovered in Frenchay Hospital.
The picture, of Queen Mary dressed in black holding a single red rose, was discovered on Tuesday (May 27) morning. It was found in an old greenhouse which has previously been used by the Bristol Area Stroke Foundation which met at Frenchay.
It is believed the street art was painted over the Bank Holiday weekend.
Bristolian Banksy's work is often in stencil form, like the Mary portrait.
Richard Cottle, media relations manager at North Bristol NHS Trust which owns the Frenchay Hospital site, said it was an exciting find.
"We are not saying it definitely is a Banksy but it is quite a complicated motif for someone to come up with," he said.
The two to three foot picture, painted on the floor of the greenhouse, shows the Queen Consort in a typical Banksy style.
Mary, wife of King George V, reigned alongside her husband from 1910 and was on the throne when Frenchay first started taking patients in the 1920s. She visited the hospital in 1943, whilst living at nearby Badminton House with her cousin Mary Somerset, Duchess of Beaufort, to escape London during World War Two.
As Queen Mother, her eldest son Edward, Prince of Wales, abdicated in favour of marrying twice-divorced American socialite Wallis Simpson and her second son Albert, who suffered a severe stammer and was the inspiration for the Oscar-winning film The King's Speech, took the throne.
"We are seeking authenticity on whether it is or not and if it is a Banksy we want to preserve it," added Mr Cottle. "It would be a wonderful thing for Frenchay."
The hospital site has been vacated in the past two weeks as acute health services move to a new £430million building at Southmead Hospital. The Bristol Area Stroke Foundation's gardening club had used the greenhouse on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons to help patients' rehabilitation. The club, which was set up 35 years ago and catered for between 30 and 40 stroke survivors a week, closed in April ahead of the move to Southmead.

Spinal Clearance Study: Expediting the Spinal Clearance Process in the Major Trauma Patient
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
The Alfred Hospital receives approximately 40% of the major trauma patients in Victoria, all of whom are at risk for spinal injuries. The potential for spinal injuries necessitates the undertaking of appropriate spinal investigations, and a delay in the completion of these investigations exposes the patient to the risk of a missed diagnosis of spinal instability and of complications of immobility; the potential spinal patient is required to wear a neck collar and be nursed lying flat whilst awaiting the completion and the appropriate documentation of spinal X-ray investigations.
The purpose of this study is to identify the issues causing a delay in the process of the completion of the appropriate spinal investigations and the documentation of the results.
The outcome of the proposed research will be the development of a clinical management protocol to expedite the process, with the aim of optimising patient care and reducing complications.

This document reflects commonly held beliefs based on scripture which have been endorsed by the church's Commission on Doctrinal Purity and the Executive Presbytery.
Why is the Assemblies of God so committed to the doctrine of the baptism in the Holy Spirit with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues?
The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a vital experience of the Christian life. It is a special work of the Spirit beyond salvation. On the Day of Pentecost, disciples who had already made a decision to follow Jesus "were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues" (Acts 2:4). Paul asked the Ephesians disciples if they had received the Holy Spirit, after which "the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues" (Acts 19:2). New Testament believers were constantly challenged to be filled with the Spirit (Acts 1:4,5; Ephesians 5:18). The Assemblies of God is committed to the baptism in the Holy Spirit because the experience is such an important focus of New Testament Christianity.
Though many non-Pentecostals teach a baptism in the Holy Spirit without speaking in tongues, the position of the Assemblies of God is clearly declared in Section 8 of its Statement of Fundamental Truths: "The baptism of believers in the Holy Spirit is witnessed by the initial sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives them utterance (Acts 2:4)." The evidence always occurred (and still does today) at the time believers were baptized in the Spirit, not at some indeterminate future time.
Speaking in tongues is the only phenomenon mentioned every time Scripture supplies details concerning the Baptism experience. Of the five instances in Acts which recount the experience of believers being baptized in the Spirit, three supply details. Speaking in tongues is the only one that occurs each time (Acts 2, 10, 19). In the Acts 10 account, tongues is specifically mentioned as proof that "the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles. For they heard them speaking in tongues" (Acts 10:45, 46). The relationship between the phenomenon and the experience cannot be ignored.
In the two cases where details are not supplied, circumstances strongly imply that speaking with other tongues accompanied the experience. In Acts 8 Simon saw something (most likely tongues) that prompted him to offer money for the power to impart such a gift. In Acts 9 Saul (who became Paul) is filled with the Spirit without the mention of any details. However, Paul later testified, "I speak in tongues more than all of you" (1 Corinthians 14:18). It is logical to conclude that he began speaking in tongues when he was baptized in the Holy Spirit.
We believe the baptism in the Holy Spirit with the initial physical evidence of speaking in other tongues is the promise of the Father to every Christian who desires the experience.
Pentecostals have a legitimate concern about those who oppose the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Opponents claim narrative portions of the Bible, like the Book of Acts, are not sufficient support for tongues as the initial evidence of the Baptism. But if critics can pick and choose the portions of Scripture to be given divine authenticity and authority, who then determines which portions are most meaningful? Certainly we must take to heart the words of Paul to Timothy, "All scripture is God breathed" (2 Timothy 3:16).
We also have a concern that some Pentecostals look on the Baptism and tongues as ends in themselves rather than as means to a much greater end. The Baptism is the entry experience introducing the believer to the beauty and power of the Spirit-filled life.
In the Assemblies of God we believe the Spirit is at work in all Christians, whether they have been baptized in the Spirit or not. God can also use and does use Christians who for one reason or another have not received the Baptism experience. We must never depreciate their ministry. Yet we recognize the baptism in the Holy Spirit will make one's life and ministry even more effective.
So for every believer the command is sounded, "Be filled [Keep on being filled] with the Spirit" (Ephesians 5:18).
The above statement is based upon our common understanding of scriptural teaching. The official delineation of this position is found in Statement of Fundamental Truths, Sections 7 & 8; affirmed in Position Paper, "The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit," 1981.
All Scripture quotations are from the New International Version (NIV) unless otherwise specified.

get real guys, if we're lucky enough to get iggy in a trade without giving george/granger/hibbert/collison it'd cost us cap space
in the trade you suggested they give up on their star for almost no cap space, and get some "role players" if you can even call d.jones and posey that
you just suggested dunleavy and ford, for iggy and nocioni, and said that that seemed fair. We give them way more in my trade, and you said "get real"?
the difference is i give them 19,000,000 off this season... you give them posey
I think that if they trade iggy without getting a star back it will only be for cap, not bench sitters-role players
and also... I don't think they have the actual roster space for +3 players
yea, thats true. it would have to be something like
plus maybe 2 future draft picks.
We get: Iggy, Songaila
Philly gets: Mike D, TJ Ford, Josh McRoberts (or Hansbrough) and several draft picks
Might as well try for Melo.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Myocardial Ischaemia After Exposure to Diesel Exhaust (MIDAS)
Recruitment status was: Recruiting

- How to Read a Study Record
Exposure to particulate air pollution is associated with increases in cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying this observation are emerging, and exposure to particulate air pollution has been shown to result in increases in blood pressure and arterial tone, impaired vascular function and an increased tendency for blood to clot as well as an increase in atherosclerotic plaque burden. Recent evidence from panel studies and controlled exposure studies have suggested an increase in myocardial ischaemia (a reduction in blood flow to the heart) following exposure. In this study we aim to investigate directly myocardial (heart) blood flow following exposure to diesel exhaust (as a model of urban air pollution) using CT/PET myocardial perfusion imaging in male patients with stable coronary disease and healthy male controls. We hypothesize that following exposure to dilute diesel exhaust:
- Myocardial blood flow will be reduced
- Coronary flow reserve will be impaired
- The magnitude of impairment will be higher in patients with coronary disease as compared to healthy controls

|Myocardial Ischaemia After Exposure to Diesel Exhaust
- Myocardial blood flow and coronary flow reserve measured by CT/PET O-15 imaging [ Time Frame: Immediately following exposure ]Myocardial blood flow will be measured at rest and at peak adenosine stress using CT/PET O-15 myocardial perfusion imaging immediately following exposure to diesel exhaust and filtered air
- Coronary flow reserve determined using doppler echocardiography [ Time Frame: 1 hour following exposure ]Coronary blood flow will be determined in the left anterior descending coronary artery using doppler echocardiography at rest and at peak adenosine stress 1 hour following exposure to diesel exhaust and filtered air
- Ultra-sensitive cardiac troponin-I [ Time Frame: Before, 2 and 24 hours following exposure ]Blood samples will be obtained for measurement of cardiac troponin-I
- ST segment deviation on continuous 12-lead electrocardiography [ Time Frame: During and for the 24 hours aftet exposure ]A 12-lead electrocardiogram will be continuously recorded using Holter ECG monitor

On a rare day off, Stephen, Humphrey and Ollie three of the four lovely Blokes from Blake enjoyed an Exige drive experience. The guys managed to fit in some retail therapy, here at the Lotus Originals Hethel Store, where they each chose a Heritage 'Lotus 1948' T-shirt, Heritage Polo Shirt and suede belt to complete their casual look.
They were happy to change into the clothing for a try-on session, much to the delight of some of the female Lotus employees in the office, who popped to the store to meet Blake and obtain a few autographs and pictures of the guys. Humphrey, Ollie and Stephen were delighted with the style, feel and quality of the LOTUS ORIGINALS collection and Humphrey commented, "We all enjoy and care about the clothes we wear as a group and individually - Lotus Originals has really thought about this range, the quality, look and fit is amazing - I love the Lotus 1948 T-shirt"!
Stephen wouldn't be parted from the Lotus 1948 cap in red and said, "This cap is great, I can wear it with the Heritage Quilted Jacket I've spotted-I'm on my way to Regent Street to buy it this weekend".
Ollie loved the LOTUS ORIGINALS Leather Boston bag, which he said was "Perfect for travelling, we are off to Florida next month and the bag will definitely be on tour with me".
The guys ended their day by saying how much they had enjoyed driving the Exige and the track, visiting the store at Hethel and for being introduced to the iconic LOTUS ORIGINALS collection-they concluded that it had been "The perfect day off".
All of the apparel and products that Blake love is available at our LOTUS ORIGINALS flagship store at 52 Regents Street in London. Alternatively you can shop online at www.lotusoriginals.com or you can visit the LOTUS ORIGINALS store here at Hethel, by calling our Store Manager,Ali Tayler-Levy on:
+44 (0)1953 608817
The weather is on the change and so what better time to buy a LOTUS ORIGINALS stylish Car Coat or Blouson jacket to keep the chill out; perfect for layering up on cooler days, but light enough for milder autumn driving days.
Available from our flagship LOTUS ORIGINALS Regent Street Store, the Hethel store or shop online at www.lotusoriginals. com.

5 New Car Features That Aren't Really New
The Giugiaro-designed V-6-powered 159 replaced Alfa's 156 way back in 2006, and for $44,500 comes with all-wheel-drive planting its 3.2-liter's power to the road through a six-speed automatic. The sleek 260-hp Alfa is a couple inches shorter than Audi's similarly powerful four-cylinder turbo A4, yet the Italian sedan is about $9000 more expensive.
Underneath the shapely body of the Giulietta, introduced at the Geneva motor show in 2010, is the 2013 Dodge Dart. Parent company Fiat adapted the guts of this Alfa to create the base of the revitalized Dodge. We found the Dart to be a sprightly performer with its 1.4-liter 160-hp turbocharged four-cylinder and quick-shifting twin-clutch six-speed. The shapely Alfa comes powered by a 1.7-liter turbo that churns out a much more thrilling 230 hp. But at about $36,000, it's $14,000 more than the most expensive Dart, the R/T.

The Animal Kingdom: What Am I?Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
I am known for my beard, but not for my hair
My name sounds mythical, but the fire's not there
I adore the heat and I cannot stand the cold
I also look like I'm from days of old
What animal am I?
AnswerBearded dragon.
Bearded dragons are known to flare out the skin around their neck, which is known as a "beard".
Although they are called bearded dragons, they do not breath fire.
Because bearded dragons are coldblooded they have to live in hot environments.
Because bearded dragons are reptiles they have a dinosaur like appearance to them.
What Next?

In my opinion, track-modeling has always been low in interest. There has never been much interest from modders in creating new tracks, but these days it seems even less so. Since the fall of RSC, I've struggled to find any new material on creating new tracks. While BTB has helped with the creation of new tracks, the standard of these tracks, overall, is lacking. And it's no wonder, as the techniques for creating the truely beautiful tracks aren't being shared anymore.
Even now, 5 years after the release of rfactor, tracks are still being poorly converted and not finished correctly, with shaders being basic and textures not correctly updated. It's a tough job sure, but I feel as the community has been starved of great tracks, that we have become more accepting of sub-standard tracks, to the point were it seems acceptable to release a basic conversion without need for any improvement.
I used to make tracks, unforcinatly never getting to the stage to producing a release-able track. For me, the lack of motivation has been what has stopped me continueing with track-making. With the release of iRacing and it's laser-scanner tracks, every attempt I have made to restart track-making has felt sub-standard, and that now stops me from continuing on.
So what can be done? I do not know. It is obviously not possible to just give everyone laser scanners and tell them to crack on, but the development of techniques to improve track accuracy and feel I think are vital, and hopefully rf2 will help on this front.
I hope that this forum will bring back all the track modellers together, and maybe they can start sharing again. There are techniques in track-modelling now that i'm sure the community can help embrace, and bring a new standard to tracks. Not ever track will be of top quality, but hopefully we can begin to improve most tracks, and at least make them modern.

AFI Fest
What: The American Film Institute's annual celebration of international cinema from modern masters and emerging filmmakers.
When: Nov. 7-14.
Where: TCL Chinese Theatre, 6925 Hollywood Blvd.; Chinese 6 Theatres, 6801 Hollywood Blvd.; Egyptian Theatre, 6712 Hollywood Blvd.; The Roosevelt Hotel, 7000 Hollywood Blvd.
Information: www.afifest.afi.com
"Philomena" screens at 8 p.m. Nov. 13 and again at 4 p.m. Nov. 14 at Chinese 1.
A terrible true-life story makes for a rather pleasing, mismatched buddy road movie in "Philomena" (screens at 8 p.m. Nov. 13 and again at 4 p.m. Nov. 14).
Steve Coogan is the disgraced but still snobby English journalist and Judi Dench is Philomena Lee, the seemingly dotty old Irish woman who join forces with Coogan's Martin Sixsmith to hunt through America for her adult son, whom nuns essentially sold off to adoptive parents when he was a little boy.
There are cute moments, of course, as there are in just about any movie Dench makes that doesn't have double 0s in it. But the underlying, wrenching nature of the story requires this great actress to bring forth her fortitude. In the end, it's Philomena's strength, mixed with an inspiring compassion, that leaves more of an impression than any sweet old Catholic lady mannerisms.
Coogan, as usual, can be relied upon to sneer and belittle his way through any potential mawkishness. His role is to supply the righteous anger that Philomena refuses to let engulf her, while also making sure their intellectual class conflict at least looks like a fair fight (Dench, of course, has the audience sympathy advantage going in).
Stephen Frears directed and he hasn't done anything this well, or well-balanced, since "The Queen."

The final installment of Bound for Mom blogging mini-series Carnival, hosted by geneabloggers.
The World Is Not Flat: many Moms love to travel and take off to parts unknown once the nest is empty.
Mom's Travel Log~
My Mom has traveled all over, even since I was a baby she has traveled extensively. When I was only a year old she went to Holland, Belgium, France and England. Then, when I was two and a half, we moved from Germany to the United States. After we arrived by ship we continued on by train from New York to Monterey, CA.
When I was about eight or nine, we had flown to Puerto Rico together for a weeks vacation and about once a year Mom would fly back to Germany by herself to see my Oma (her Mom), her twin brothers (my uncles) and Great Grandparents. When I was 13 I flew with Mom on one of her trips back to Germany for a three week stay during Christmas, this was the one and only Germany trip I made. What a very special trip for us together and a treat to see my Grandfather again, it was the first time he had seen me since I was two and a half. Mom would make the yearly trip so that she was able to spend time with her family. It was just Mom and me here, it meant a lot for her to be with them as much as she could.
During the years of my childhood we had taken many trips from California by car to New York, where we would visit our cousins there. Occasionally my Oma would fly from Germany to New York, where we would pick her up, then drive back to California where we lived. Eventually my Oma was able to fly into San Francisco International Airport, decreasing our trips to New York.
After I left home, she was hard to keep down! Her job had her flying regularly to Chicago and New York. She also continued to go back and forth to Germany, made trips to Canada, England and many different areas of the United States. She even had a friend that owned a small plane and they would fly here and there for short trips.
After being single for close to 30 years she finally married about ten years ago to Adam, who is from Poland. Now they include travel to Poland where they take the train to Italy and on to Germany! Adam has daughters in Italy, Poland and one in California.
Her most recent trip with her husband included my husband, granddaughter and myself. We took a genealogy trip from Southern California to Louisville Kentucky to meet my Aunt Virginia for the first time. In our motor home, with our Jeep in tow, we embarked on a two week adventure that none of us will ever forget.
Mom has always been on the go and to this day still is! She has experienced so much and has had many opportunities to eat many different types of foods. She is a coffee connoisseur, so she has tried many different types and flavors of coffees (I think her favorite is still the typical German strong coffee, she grinds it herself !). She has seen some very beautiful places and Mom can confirm the world is definitely round and life is too short to stay in one place!
Today, the 4th Day of October 2015, We Remember ~ - *Today in History* *Today in German History* *Births ~ * *~* *Gladys Ollie TABELING*, born in 1910 ~ Breckenridge Co., Cloverport, KY ~ *my paternal grand...

THIS little lad is the latest addition to the Longworth Clough nature reserve near Belmont.
The Exmoor pony foal joins five of the rare breed, who have been tasked with keeping plants down to manageable levels on the reserve.
The ponies belong to Michael Dewhurst, but join sheep and cattle as part of Lancashire Wildlife Trust's conservation grazing team, managed by grazing officer Sian Parry and reserve officer John Haddon.
They spend time in parts of the reserve chomping down long grass and shrubs and leaving areas where native plants can thrive.
Mr Haddon said: "It was exciting when the foal was born and after four days it seems to be doing really well. We have not decided on a name yet."

The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (District) is hosting a Vision Plan Board Workshop 6 p.m. Oct. 2 at the district's administrative office, 330 Distel Circle. A second workshop may be scheduled 6 p.m. Oct. 9 if more time is needed to evaluate the proposed projects of the vision plan. Members of the public are invited to participate in the workshop(s) to help the board shape the direction of future open space projects.
As part of a 16-month Vision Plan Project that began in August 2012, a Community Advisory Committee identified future use goals and project possibilities. Also during this time scientists examined the open space district to understand potential challenges in meeting the desired outcomes of the plan.
Five key themes for future growth were identified by the vision team: healthy nature, viable working lands, outdoor recreation and healthy living, natural, cultural and scenic landscapes and enriched experience. In phase three, the district will reach out to district residents to help the board determine the specific projects to prioritize or dismiss from the list of desired outcomes and priority actions.
Among the projects under consideration for the Peninsula Foothills subregion – the area of the district that encompasses most of Los Altos Hills – are the development of improved transit and parking options for Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve, improved public access to and preservation of agricultural fields at Hidden Villa, restoration of fisheries in the San Francisquito Creek Watershed and the completion of Stevens Creek Trail above the Steven Creek Reservoir dam.
After gathering preliminary input, another series of public meeting will be held in October and November to further define goals in subregions of the district. Board members anticipate the adoption of a final Vision Plan by early 2014.

A county located in the south central/south part of New Jersey. Most consider it total backwoods pine barrens, despite the fact that everything is developed like any central jersey town till you get south of Manahawkin (being if you don't go about 10 minuets west). The pinnacle of the shore, featuring both Seaside and Long Beach Island. If you are a local kid, you know that Ocean County is a beach/suburb/pineland clusterfuck. Most who reside here will probably tell you that there is nothing to fucking do. In the summer, our beaches are overrun by tourists, and by winter, everything is closed. We have the shittest mall known to man, and music venues consist of firehouses and elks lodges. Most kids just end up drunk/high at a local Applebee's or diner, followed by a trip to the outside of the movie theaters to smoke cigarettes, start fights, and trash local retail stores. All in all, Ocean County is known to everyone else as a shore resort, but to those who live here as a place where Suburbia goes to die.
In Ocean County you get all the fun of the beach, Central Jersey suburbia, and backwoods pine barrens.

The Clinical Efficacy of Topical Nasal Pomegranate Fruit Extract for Patients With Chronic Rhinosinusitis

- How to Read a Study Record
An explosion of interest in the numerous therapeutic properties of Punica granatum over the last decade has led to numerous in vitro, animal, and clinical trials. Pomegranate is a potent antioxidant, superior to red wine and equal to or better than green tea. In addition, anticarcinogenic and anti-inflammatory properties suggest its possible use as a therapy or adjunct for prevention and treatment of several types of cancer and cardiovascular disease. Because of pomegranate's antimicrobial properties, it may aid in preventing infection by dental pathogens, pathogenic E. coli O157:H7, and antibiotic-resistant organisms such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Pomegranate's effect on bacterial pathogens has only been tested in vitro, however, necessitating human trials to refute or substantiate any clinical effect.
The possibility that pomegranate extracts may also have an effect on several other disease processes, such as Alzheimer's and obesity, underscores the need for more clinical research. Currently, numerous clinical trials are in progress exploring the therapeutic potential of pomegranate extracts.
Aim The investigators want to evaluate the effect of Punica granatum components on Chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps and chronic rhinitis.

Due to a busy Nov-Dec I've not had a chance to catch many games, or catch them in their entirety anyway. This also isn't helped by the sprinkling of UNtelevised games.
BUT that said-
When I have watched, and tonight was no exception, the offense doesn't look like an offense at all. I don't see a lot of screening going on. There's usually some motion but it looks helter skelter and many shots just seem to come when one of the guys decides it's time to take a shot (or so it appears). It's certainly not a smart motion game that I'm seeing. How about making the defense really work and fight thru screens?
I don't see any sharpness in the cuts. None.
Worse, some (many?) of the barrage of 3's come at inopportune times... Nothing like a momentum killing wasted possession leading to a long rebound and easy basket the other way.
I think JO just might be the slowest player on the court in most games and there's no crispness to his movement at all.
As most of you know, I've grown fairly unimpressed with JO over the years to the point I think it's best for parties to move on. For a player that is paid what he is paid, the return on the payment is WAY low.
I'm also less than impressed with the defense I've seen. Offense will come and go... especially when you play it bad like we're known to do with quick 3's and hurried looks (and JO's patented turnaround clanker too)... but defense should be a constant. Our defense appears mainly to be constantly bad. Our best hope is that our shots fall early and the other team quits. Anytime the other team has some heart and hangs in there (even when down) our willy nilly offense will go cold, and our defense will let them back in the game.
And for another knock on JO... I don't see this good or great defense some of you say he brings. Yeah, sometimes he blocks a shot. I've never considered shot blocking to be the only sign of good defense. JO's man usually has his way in the games that I've seen. JO might swat away a penetrating guard's shot but his own man's game doesn't seem that swayed by JO.
I feel the same way about JO as some of you do about Murphy. ...Only difference being I'm trying to still give Murphy the benefit of the doubt. JO has used his up. But it's getting harder by the minute to give Murphy much more slack.
I'm not seeing any coming together with this team either. I think JOB is blowing smoke when he's talking about his belief in them finishing strong. This team isn't made to finish strong because it's so badly put together that 'chemistry' will always be a problem.
I realize Tinsley is out now (not that he'll help the defense) but we shouldn't have to rely on an unreliable player in the first place. Tinsley is unreliable on 2 counts:
Injury Prone
You just can't trust that he can keep either one of those in check.
As for what to do about all this? I haven't got the foggiest idea. Most of this stuff has been piling up for years. Other teams cut their losses and move on instead of letting this stuff fester until something HAS to be done (then it's a rushed, half-a$$, panic move).
I hope Bynum was never actually offered for JO, and I hope we did try and trade JO for Bynum and LA rejected it.
It's getting to a point that the best thing JO can bring to this team is an offer not to take his option. But that doesn't mean that getting rid of JO fixes anything immediately... it just opens the door to a process where we can start fixing things.

Aveda Damage Remedy Restructuring Conditioner Reviews
This really works well on chemically treated hair.I use it once a week. I apply it, put on a shower cap and wait 15 minutes before rinsing it out.

I'm lovin' itThis conditioner is amazing! I had damaged my hair from coloring it and using heat styling tools too often. This conditioner is full of quinoa protein that helps to heal damaged hair. I like that it is very thick and creamy, kind of like lotion. I leave it on for about five minutes everyday and rinse. My hair doesn't feel like dry straw anymore. It's hair is stronger, softer, and much easier...read more to manage. I recommend trying this to anyone who has damaged their hair. It is kind of expensive ($24 for about 7oz) so I took off a star for that and I took off another star because it doesn't smell very good, but it does what it says it will. — 5 years, 11 months agotaryn.romero | 43 reviews

Good StuffThis is a really effective conditioner. Like other reviewers, I put this on under a shower cap & let it marinate for 10-15 minutes before rinsing. Leaves my hair super hydrated but I still have a small amount of frizz. I have yet to find any product that completely illiminates it. I am a fan of this stuff though. — 5 years, 11 months agoFeline44mom | 212 reviews
Underwhelmed and its too Expensive!I didn't see a major change in my hair when I used the damage remedy line of products. I personally find it to be too expensive without seeing a major improvement in texture. Its $27 for 6 oz! — 3 years, 10 months agoposhinprogress | 181 reviews

Smooths dry hair!Great for making dry, damaged hair soft and smooth. Works as a leave in too. Not the best for detangling and pretty expensive. Use it on the most damaged part of your hair. — 5 years, 3 months agomegan1118 | 48 reviews
