What Is Rosacea?
Fast Facts: An Easy-to-Read Series of Publications for the Public
Rosacea is a long-term disease that affects the skin and sometimes the eyes. Its symptoms include redness, pimples, and, in later stages, thicker skin. In most cases, rosacea only affects the face.

Who Gets Rosacea?
About 14 million people in the United States have rosacea. This disease is most common in:
- Women (especially during menopause)
- People with fair skin
- Adults between the ages of 30 and 60.
What Does Rosacea Look Like?
Rosacea has many symptoms, including the following:
- Frequent redness (flushing) of the face. Most redness is at the center of the face (forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin). There may also be a burning feeling and slight swelling.
- Small red lines under the skin. These lines show up when blood vessels under the skin get larger. This area of the skin may be somewhat swollen, warm, and red.
- Constant redness along with bumps on the skin. Sometimes the bumps have pus inside (pimples), but not always. Solid bumps on the skin may later become painful.
- Inflamed eyes/eyelids.
- A swollen nose. In some people (mostly men), the nose becomes red, larger, and bumpy.
- Thicker skin. The skin on the forehead, chin, cheeks, or other areas can become thicker because of rosacea.
How Are the Eyes Affected?
Many people who have rosacea get eye problems. Eyes can have redness, dryness, itching, burning, excess tears, and the feeling of having sand in the eye. The eyelids may become inflamed and swollen. The eyes may become sensitive to light, and the person may have blurred vision or some other kind of vision problem.
What Causes Rosacea?
Doctors don't know the exact cause of rosacea. Some doctors think rosacea happens when blood vessels expand too easily, causing flushing. People who blush a lot may be more likely to get rosacea. It is also thought that people inherit the likelihood of getting the disease.
Though not well-researched, some people say that one or more of these factors make their rosacea worse:
- Heat (including hot baths)
- Heavy exercise
- Sunlight
- Winds
- Very cold temperatures
- Hot or spicy foods and drinks
- Drinking alcohol
- Menopause
- Emotional stress
- Long-term use of steroids on the face.
People with rosacea and pimples may think the pimples are caused by bacteria. But no one has found a clear link between rosacea and bacteria.
Can Rosacea Be Cured?
There is no cure for rosacea, but it can be treated and controlled. In time the skin may look better. A dermatologist (a doctor who works with diseases of the skin) often treats rosacea. There are several ways to treat rosacea.
For skin:
- Sometimes antibiotics can be put right on the skin. Other times, oral antibiotics can be used. Topical gels can ease the redness associated with rosacea.
- Small red lines can be treated with electrosurgery and laser surgery. For some people, laser surgery improves the skin without much scarring or damage.
- Patients with a swollen, bumpy nose can have extra skin tissue taken off to make it smaller. Usually patients feel this process helps their appearance.
- Some people find that green-tinted makeup is good for hiding the skin's redness.
For the eyes:
- Most eye problems can be treated with medicines.
- People who get infections of the eyelids must clean them a lot. The doctor may say to scrub the eyelids gently with watered-down baby shampoo or an over-the-counter eyelid cleaner. After scrubbing, you should apply a warm (but not hot) compress a few times a day.
- If needed, the doctor may prescribe steroid eye drops.
What Can People With Rosacea Do to Help Themselves?
You play a key role in taking care of your rosacea. Here are a few steps to take:
- Keep a written record of when flares happen. This can give you clues about what bothers your skin.
- Use a sunscreen every day that protects against UVA and UVB rays. Make sure it has a sun-protecting factor (SPF) of 15 or higher.
- Use a lubricant if it helps. Don't put irritating products on the face.
- If your eyes have problems, follow your doctor's treatment plan, and clean your eyelids as told.
- Talk with a doctor if you feel sad or have other signs of depression. Some people with rosacea feel bad because of the way their skin looks.
What Research Is Being Conducted to Help People With Rosacea?
Research is being done on:
- Ways to stop dry eyes and help other eye problems related to rosacea
- Medicines to treat rosacea
- The ways the body's immune system is involved in rosacea
- Ways to reduce scarring if extra skin on the nose is removed.

Lost and found: Face to Face '10-8-8'
If you were making a list of the Top Lost '45's of the '80s, many would submit Face to Face's classic 10-9-8. Even though Boston's Face to Face was a new wave band that released three albums and multiple singles/videos, their legacy is 10-9-8 that peaked at No. 38 in 1984.
Face to Face would also have an unheralded role in the 1984's Streets of Fire movie.
In the movie, Diane Lane's fictional band, Ellen and the Attackers, is mostly Face to Face. Since Diane Lane does not actually sing in the movie, lead singer Laurie Sargent provides vocals on Never Be You and Sorcerer (written by Stevie Nicks) while another singer, Holly Sherwood, got the meatier song Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young. The male members of Face to Face do appear on screen as "The Attackers".
Face to Face broke up in 1988.

If you haven't yet, try connecting PS3 to one of the other three HDMI ports.
If you haven't yet, try connecting PS3 to one of the other three HDMI ports.
BTW, thanks for your help JChin!
I tried all other available ports (including the port that the cable box works perfectly through) to no avail; additionally, I connected the 20ft HDMI directly to the PS3 and it works fine. I've read reviews on the receiver and havent seen anything negative concerning PS3 connection, so I'm really stumped.
BTW, thanks for your help JChin!
- replace with a different HDMI cable from PS3 to receiver
- turn off "Deep Color/Colour Output (HDMI) " under Display Settings
- or turn off "BD 1080p 24Hz Output (HDMI)" under Video Settings
Any luck so far? My money is on the short patch cable to connect the PS3 to the Denon. http://usa.denon.com/us/Product/Page...b-28d0d1cf71f9
I've recently bought a PS3 (slim) and I'm experimenting problems connecting it via HDMI with my A/V receiver:
Screen flickering (and even black screen) (but sound seems to be ok), when PS3 is attached to the A/V receiver (ONKYO TX-SR508) via HDMI, but working OK if it is conected directly (same cable) to my Bravia EX500. I tried with 2 different HDMI 1.3a cables (1.8 and 5m) and everything is exactly the same. Both cables works perfectly with my WDlxTV.
By now, the PS3 is working with firmware 3.40 and, as I could find, no one of the firmware updates by SONY fix any bug related with the HDMI.
Does anybody have any idea? Should I update my PS3 to fw 3.50 (loosing the jailbreak option by the moment)? Have you find any option (Deep colour, HDMI control...) which is interacting the HDMI handshake and causing the problem?.
Thanks you all in advance.
It seems to be related with the Deep colour settings in the PS3.
Finally, it is working!!!.
I started from scratch, using a HDMI 1.4 cable;
BD/DVD HDMI port (nº1) instead of VCR/DVR (nº2); only the PS3 attached to the A/V receiver; everything disconected from the power source for a while and pressing the PS3' start button for 5sec till the second beep sounded (this reset the HDMI settings on the PS3 side).
Starting from the most conservative settings (NO HDMI control, no
superwhite... NO everything...), the flickering issue comes back only when
the Deep colour settings on the PS3 is turned on.
Now I can breathe again!. Fortunately there is no need to deal with
ONKYO/SONY customer support.
I hope it will be helpfull. Thanks and good luck.
I have RGB set at Limited, HDMI set at ycbcr, superwhite on, deep color on, bitstream audio. Thanks.
Hi all.
I've recently bought a PS3 (slim) and I'm experimenting problems connecting it via HDMI with my A/V receiver:

Try setting the deep color OFF.
HDMI (RGB or Y/Cb/Cr) is Auto.
Superwhite is ON
1080p/24Hz is ON
50Hz video output is 50Hz (remember, this is Europe)
HDMI control is ON
RGB full range is ON
I hope it works for you.
I realize my WD TV Live has the same issue when I set 12 bits HDMI instead 8bits. I supose this could be the same as the "deep color" option in the PS3, so both issues seem to be consistent.
Deep Color OFF
Cross Color Reduction Filter OFF
HDMI (RGB or Y/Cb/Cr) is Auto.
Superwhite is ON
1080p/24Hz is Auto
BD/DVD Upscaler Normal
PS Upscaler Normal
PS Smoothing OFF
BD/DVD Dynamic Range Control ON
BD/DVD Audio Output Format (HDMI) Bitstream
HDMI control is OFF
RGB full range is Limited
I'm not sure if all of these are correct, so please feel free to give any recommendations that I should change to instead you guys. Thanks.
Anyway, you could maybe "improve" it if you set ON "PS smoothing" and HDMI control, as well as RGB full range. The first one should enhance only your PS graphics, while the RGB settings will be applied to all the system. HDMI control is really useful if you have a compatible system:
I press the PS button in my Sixaxis-> PS3 power on->PS3 sends the power on command to my TV-> My TV sends the power on command to the ONKYO A/V-> My TV detects there is a A/V active, so it mutes the small TV speakers and the ONKYO SR-508 takes control! Just one click and all the system up and ready!
Besides that: If I shut down the TV, the ONKYO shuts down...(I don't remember if the PS3 does..., but, if I shut down the PS3, the rest of the system remains active.)
Bye and enjoy.
I returned my second TX-NR3008 for an exchange, again, which will hopefully arrive in a day or two. The following is the story of the aforementioned second unit that is now on its way back.
If I was using my PS3 (using the BD/DVD HDMI input on the back of the Onkyo) to watch a movie, regardless of the format, when trying to quit to the PS3 home screen you select quit and the screen goes black. The problem is that the screen stays black, rather than losing the picture momentarily while the PS3 loads the home screen. Once this happens you cannot regain a signal until you power cycle the Onkyo receiver. I tried every combination possible between cycling the display only, receiver, PS3, and only by power cycling the Onkyo NR3008 could you get the receiver to grab the HDMI signal again.
This also happens if you were to load Netflix on the PS3. Launch Netflix, screen goes black while it begins to load Netflix, but instead of then displaying the Netflix loading screen it once again forgets how to find a signal over HDMI. Once again, turn receiver off and back on, and there is the PS3 Netflix menu with recommendations, instant queue, and so on. I should also add that the OSD setup menu for the Onkyo does not display 95% of the time when watching an input, whether it be Xbox360, PS3, BDP, or a cable/sat box. I say 95% because for some inane reason the OSD setup menu would come up on screen if you had just performed an Onkyo factory reset, but subsequently would not show itself after properly displaying once or twice. No I did not make ANY changes whatsoever to the receiver after the factory resets, which would have explained why it worked after a fresh reset but not thereafter. It just inexplicably stopped displaying on its own accord.
In addition, if you attempted to switch your HDMI input source, from say the black screen after losing your signal to your PS3, to a BDP, Xbox, cable/sat box, 80% of the time it would also give you nothing but a black screen. The other 20% of the time it would display video if you let it sit on the newly selected HDMI source for anywhere from half a minute, to four minutes. I should take a moment to mention that recalling from my memory, almost all of the instances when the receiver would lose video, it would however manage to regain an audio signal over the HDMI connection while still giving no video. I do not believe this is an issue with my attached devices, as they worked with my first Onkyo TX-NR3008 for four solid weeks (which I will post about in a different Onkyo thread, as it does not pertain specifically to the PS3 with the Onkyo). Nevertheless I have tried using different HDMI cables, including purchasing three new ones to reduce the chance of purchasing one new cable to test, and having a DOA cable skew my investigation. I tested the receiver with one device, all devices, some devices, PS3 in another HDMI input, more factory resets than I can count to isolate the variables as I made changes, and different cables. The devices all work when video is direct to the display, and audio to the receiver via optical, so I knew it was the receiver, but I was hoping it was some silly thing I could fix. The firmware was also current.
I suppose I was just delaying the inevitable second return. Feeling very defeated after two Onkyo 3008's, with more hours than I care to count spent configuring both to my setup, only to have both destroy my time spent configuring them for my room. The second unit may have been defective on arrival, but my first 3008 worked swimmingly for four weeks, and that was more than enough for me to fall in love with the Onkyo's otherwise excellent qualities. As such I am giving it one final go, and hoping the third new 3008 will be the charm. Just know that if you are reading this, and you are having similar/the same issues with your Onkyo 3008/5008's HDMI video, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
But getting back to the PS3, I've heard that the RocketFish brand doesn't work with it, either.
I'm looking for an HDMI switcher that works with at least mostly everything, because I have three devices and only two HDMI ports.
Have tried changing the PS3 Video Settings, but not been able to fix the problem so far. Would really appreciate some help in resolving this issue - my 7 year old son is giving me a tough time since his game is not working !
Thanks in advance.
Hi, I am planing on buying 27 inches monitor for use with my PC and PS3.
I found monitor that should be good for gaming but I have issues figuring out whether it is compatible with my PS3, the monitor in question is LG Flatron 27EA63V-P.
In monitor specs I seen in e-shops its marked as DVI HDCP compatible and I read somewhere that with new regulations every monitor released in EU after 2006 with HDMI port should be HDCP compatible.
The problem is that I found review that stated this monitor is not HDCP compatible and couldn't be connected to PS3 and that person got that info directly from LG.
On answers.lg.com same question is being left without reply for the past 6 month.
Manuals for this monitor some list HDCP as a feature and some dont.
Is there is someone who have this monitor and based on own experience can definetelly say whether its PS3 compatible or not?
I am on my 2nd PS3 slim in 3 weeks and each have the same issue. Blu-Ray dialogue is incredibly soft. I am connected via HDMI to my tv's 2 speakers. I did 'automatic setup' via HDMI and the setup detected two possible output settings: 2-channel Linear PCM 44.1 and 2-channel Linear PCM 48.
HOWEVER, when playing Blu-Rays, I push SELECT on the PS3 controller and it says it's playing 5.1 sound. This despite the fact that only 2-channel is selected in the PS3 settings.
What gives?? Why is it outputting 5.1 when that's not even selected in the audio settings? Hearing Blu-Ray dialogue is pretty much impossible.
Is it possible that because you have HDMI connected, the PS3 is sending 5.1, but because you don't have 5.1 speakers connected, you can't hear it, or take advantage of the HDMI features? You might want to try to manually config your setup, so you can specify PCM, or stereo 2 channel sound, so it matches the amount of speakers you have to work with.
If I go into Manual via the PS3 Sound Settings, it's the same deal as if I do Automatic....2-channel Linear PCM 44.1 and 48 are greyed and selected automatically...I can't even DE-SELECT them, even in Manual. The only thing I can do is add other choices. This has been the case with two straight PS3 super slims, so I have a hard time believing both were defective. I have tested on two different HDTV's and get the same thing.
On the PS3 website, it says "when using an HDMI cable, only 2-channel sound is output from the PS3". So why does it output 5.1 when 5.1 is not even selected?????

El Camino Real In Missouri
Posted 15 February 2011 - 09:41 PM
Posted 16 February 2011 - 10:08 AM
Posted 16 February 2011 - 09:01 PM
Hello: I am looking for directions to take the El Camino Real (Kings Highway or Royal Highway) from St. Louis to New Madrid MO...I know that 61 basically followed the route but is that the actual route or is the actual route actually drivable in and of itself. Feel free to email me at email@example.com, or I will keep in touch with posts on this site...Thanks! SGF, Kip
Tough question to answer, as you know. The El Camino Real in Missouri apparently did not become a recognized blazed trail, and therefore does not appear on the Rand McNally Auto Trails maps I looked at....acknowledging I didn't do an exhaustive search and that isn't the only source. (It may have been part of the Mississippi River Scenic Highway)
It was a historic route, and was sometimes known as the Illinois Road. There are several citations to it on Google Books (search: "El Camino Real" Missouri) but I didn't find a map. HOWEVER, Historic Map Works has county and regional maps from 1873 at
which show an unnamed road which goes through the towns cited elsewhere as being on the El Camino Real. Ergo, it was probably the El Camino Real.
I only checked a few counties starting in New Madrid and going north. There US61 tracks the presumed El Camino Real well, but obviously not always on top the old track. I suppose it would take a couple of hours to satisfy yourself as to how closely the remainder of the old route followed US61 and it might make you the first guy in a long time who has looked carefully at the route in detail.
I'd do it for the fun of it if I lived in Missouri and could drive it....but alas that's not the case. But if I can help, let me know.
Keep the Show on the Road!

Some that are listed are the Bankhead Highway ( B ), Lackawanna (sounds like my ex-wife) Trail (LT), Lakes-to-Sea Highway (LS), Bee Line Highway (BL), Dixie Bee Line (DB) and several others.
I'm not all that familiar with U S 61 north of New Madrid - but have really looked at it between Blytheville and West Memphis. Have driven over it once or twice between New Madrid and Blytheville. It's interesting around Steele - it sort of goes up hill (going north thru Steele), makes a right turn - and just sort of disappears!!! Doesn't really disappear - it turns into AR 164/U S 61 to I-55 and then co-signs with -55 over to Portageville, where it continues north on it's own. I haven't dug around that area, yet, to see if any of the old road still exists. It may in the form of frontatge roads and a couple of local routes.

When you are down there, make sure you cruise down 61 through the Arch that crosses US 61 on the Missouri Arkansas Border--that is about as awesome a piece of roadside attraction as you will find anywhere and you will find pix of it in Tim Steil's book "Highway 61 Revisited". SGF, Kip

Thanks to the three of you...the Mississippi River Scenic Highway appears to pass through all the towns that the El Camino Real followed (I found pix of the markers Denny Spoke of as well as others). I pulled up the 1873 map that shows a route that pretty much follows the Scenic Highway and US 61. I note on an early 20's map of Missouri that the Scenic Highway Route pretty much follows US 61 to Hayti, then jogs around a lot between there and Steele, East of where it is now. There is a section of HY 61 that you get to after crossing I-55 on SR 164, that was a newer alignment. The Route from the 30's on pretty much followed what is now the west outer road from Portageville to Hayti.

If you locate a driveable route between STL & New Madrid that is different from old U.S. 61 please share it, as I would be interested in driving all or part of it. I was not aware there was an El Camino Real in MO. However, being a native Bootheelian, you know there are numerous county blacktops and gravel routes close to the Mississippi which, I guess, could be part of what you're looking for. Interesting.....Bliss
Posted 20 February 2011 - 07:56 AM
Also found this one - http://www.waymarkin...evieve_Missouri
File in the "for what it's worth" file folder.
And anybody driving 61 into Arkansas drop me an email @ email@example.com (drop the NEC) - south of Blytheville there's a section of old alignment that is still driveable. But there's nothing out there - except a now defunct radio station in Stacy that's closed.

As far as US 61 goes, Tim Steil wrote a really cool picture book called "Highway 61 Revisited: 1699 miles from New Orleans to Pigeon River" with some good information and cool pix of the highway between Memphis and the Missouri Border. At the missouri border there's a magnificent arch across the road that is worth a very long drive to see, and as you get into Blythville there is (or was) a neat hamburger stand on the left side of the road.
On a side note about Blytheville, back in the early 70's we ate at a restaurant there that served Kentucky Fried Chicken. Before Harlan opened his restaurants, he sold the formula to restaurants and showed them how to prepare it...twas really neat as a kid being able to order Kentucky Fried Chicken off the menu.
SGF, Kip

And if you're following 61 south from the I-55 thru Steele you won't be going out of your way at all. In fact following 61 from I-55 in Steele all the way to Left, er, West Memphis you are literally paralleling 55. In fact I doubt if you're ever more than 5 miles from it. Like U S 70 from West Memphis from Little Rock running along I-40.

The new legislative session (2013-14) began today (Jan. 8) with lawmakers talking of good will and working together for the benefit of the state.
"I think the rancor starts on Monday," laughed Rep. Jim Abeler, R-Anoka.
House and Senate members were sworn into office shortly after noon with House Speaker Paul Thissen, DFL-Minneapolis, and Senate Majority Leader Tom Bakk, DFL-Cook, officially elected by their respective bodies to their leadership posts.
"I really have high hopes for this legislative session," said Thissen addressing the House.
Bakk spoke of the need for a gritty realism.
"The campaign is over and it's now time to govern," Bakk said.
"That means being honest with Minnesotans about our challenges and how we aim to resolve them. We each represent all of our constituents, not just one party or only those who voted for us," he said.
Democrats hold the reins of state government, controlling the Governor's Office, all State Constitutional Offices, the Legislature.
Despite expressions of bipartisanship, a small dustup occurred in the House as Republicans attempted a parliamentary maneuver.
"I'm not going to be rolled over," said House Minority Leader Kurt Daudt, R-Crown, prior to start of session.
If he has to call the Democrats out, he will, Daudt said.
Still, session opening in the House was marked more by hugs, hand shakes, friends and supporters.
"It's really nice," said newly elected Rep. Jim Newberger, R-Becker, of serving in the legislature.
A paramedic for 25 years, Newberger speaks of people being "wired" for certain professions.
And lawmakers are no different.
"I think it's a gift," he said of the impulse for public service.
Thissen, speaking about the early bills, cited a school funding shift legislation — repayment next biennium — jobs and property tax bills, others.
House Democrats are going to fulfills promises they made during the election, he said.
Democratic legislative leaders have stressed the primacy of the state budget.
Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton is expected to release his proposed state budget on Jan. 22, setting off a process honed by the release of the February budget forecast later in the session.
The February forecast provides the final numbers for legislators to use on which to base the budget.
Area senators spoke of the need to get things done.
"We owe it to our citizens to get the job done," newly elected Sen. John Hoffman, DFL-Champlin, said.
He was excited to represent his district and hopes to be part of a bipartisan effort to fix the budget, to work to create more jobs and to get the economy going again. Hoffman said.
Sen. Melissa Wiklund, DFL-Bloomington, represents District 50 and hopes to be an active force in solving education issues.
She served on the Bloomington School Board prior to being elected to the Minnesota Senate.
Sen. David Osmek, R-Mound, says he is honored and privileged to be taking his oath of office on Tuesday. He credits his wife Kari for pointing him in this direction. He served on the city council for 11 years prior to gaining a seat in the Minnesota Senate.
"For a farm kid from Glencoe, this is like going from A-ball to the Major Leagues," Osmek said.
Newly elected Sen. Karin Housley, R-St. Mary's Point, said her entire family was in the Senate gallery to watch her first day of service.
Her husband Phil, a former National Hockey League star, was at her side during the opening session of the Senate.
Former Rosemount High School Principal Greg Clausen, now a DFL senator from Apple Valley representing District 57, brought his mother, also a former educator, with him for the opening day ceremonies.
"It is a special day to reflect on the history and tradition and take on a responsibility to serve the state and its people," Clausen said. He will serve on education and higher education committees. He already said he is part of a legislative group which will introduce an education initiative at a news conference on Thursday.
Lawmakers face a projected $1 billion state budget deficit in the upcoming two-year budget cycle.
But Thissen also indicated that a floor vote on same-sex marriage could happen this year in the House.
Rep. Rick Hansen, DFL-South St. Paul, expects one.
"I think something will happen this year," Hansen said.
Same-sex marriage advocates want a vote.
Minnesotans United for All Families Campaign Manager Richard Carlbom views the session as the right moment.
"We believe 2013 is the best time," he said.
Carlbom feared that the momentum might have wained following the defeat in November of the proposed amendment to ban same-sex marriage, but senses it hasn't.
"I'm not going to proclaim victory," he said when asked whether the votes existed to pass same-sex marriage legislation.
Chuck Darrell, of Minnesota for Marriage, indicated the group would be active at the State House.
"In fact, the defeat of the Marriage Amendment was not a referendum to legalize gay-marriage. Far from it," Darrell said in an email.
"However, we are taking this threat to marriage very seriously. Minnesota for Marriage will not leave the field," he said.
The Minnesota legislature is primarily a male body, with men outnumbering women about two to one.
The gender ratio is less sharp than found in recent legislatures in the Dakotas, Iowa, and Wisconsin.

HEALTH campaigners in East Lancashire have been given a boost after the new boss of NHS England said 'local services' should be expanded.
Chief executive Simon Stevens, who began the role last month, said the health service must end 'mass centralisation' and treat more people in their own communities instead.
This differs from the view of his predessesor, Sir David Nicholson, who recently called for a radical reorganisation of the NHS with services centralised on a smaller number of hospital sites.
Mr Stevens' comments have sparked interest in East Lancashire, where patients and campaigners are determined to keep services at the Royal Blackburn and Burnley General hospitals, as well as at smaller community facilities in Accrington, Pendle and Clitheroe.
Pendle MP Andrew Stephenson, a Conservative, said: "This is long overdue recognition of the vital role of small community hospitals. Certain things, such as specialist stroke and trauma care, do need to be centralised, so that surgeons are dealing with a significant volume of cases to maintain their skills, but it's really important to have good local services to treat the majority of patients."
However, Hyndburn MP Graham Jones, Labour, suspected Mr Stevens' comments were 'politically motivated'.
He added: "People want to hear that local hospitals are staying open, but it should be about how people can receive the best medical care possible - that's the only thing that matters.
"We will still need big specialist hospitals, with smaller facilities like Accrington Victoria providing more routine care."
Mr Stevens said: "A number of other countries have found it possible to run viable local hospitals serving smaller communities than sometimes we think are sustainable in the NHS.
"Most of western Europe has hospitals which are able to serve their local communities, without everything having to be centralised."
He also warned the complex care systems outside of hospitals must change and investment was needed in community services for the elderly to stop spiralling numbers ending up in hospital.

Two men arrested for shooting at birdhouse while drunk
Two men who drunkenly fired 30 shots at a birdhouse Thursday in the neighborhood of North Pemberton were arrested and are pending arraignment, report Bloomfield Township officials.
After numerous emergency calls from neighbors, police responded to the area and saw a car leaving the house where the shots were reported.
The driver was stopped and found to be intoxicated and had a firearm on him, police said. Upon further investigation, authorities discovered that a second person was involved. Authorities obtained a warrant, then searched the home and found several firearms and used bullet casings.
No one was injured in the incident, but the men appeared highly intoxicated while shooting at the bird house hanging in the tree, according to the Bloomfield Township Police Department.
Police searching for man who smashed woman's car window at traffic light
A man who punched, and broke, a woman's passenger window Monday while she was stopped at a traffic light is still on the loose, according to Royal Oak officials.
When officers arrived at the area near Eleven Mile Road and Main Street, the woman told them the man walked up to her car, punched the window, and ran off shortly after.
The man is described as a white male in his 20s who is 5-foot-10 with a thin build and was wearing a yellow jacket and black jogging pants the day of the incident.
The investigation continues, say police.

|Sick route, Kent and Jim, been waiting to do it! More fun times like on Atlantis. I thought the crux, pitch 7, was pretty stout and rate it .11c/d for the onsight. Pitch 3 with the face climbing was awesome! Stays shaded till about 2pm because of the aspect on the wall.

|A little harder than Atlantis, but every bit as good. Pitch 3 and 11 especially stand out, both for their "just when you think your off route and dead-ended ,look left and there is gear and holds" demeanor. Pitch 3 is some of the finest stone I've climbed in the Black. I'll probably do it again next year.

Pat and I did this last week. Another great route. Some hints The "R" pitches are tamed with offsets. The first with an aluminum gold (?) and the second with a single cable Wild Country--purple?. The last 10 + R requires a green yellow Alien, and a yellow Alien.
I combined 7 and 8. There is a great little perch 25 ft below the belay on the topo. We used that--a nice flat boulder in the crack.
A number of pitches overhang, and some are on scaley peg. Surprisingly fun. I agree the route is a bit tougher than Atlantis, and not quite as good. The pitch that got my attention was the last one--# 11? I took it over 200 ft to the large ledge. It wandered and picked up indistinct features. Time consuming 10a R.
We were on the route about 13 hours. Did the last three too, which are great.

|Thanks to Wheeler & Co. for another excellent adventure! A note on the topo: two bolts are depicted on pitch 10. We found only one, followed by serious 5.10 climbing above marginal gear. This seems to agree with the description of pitch 10 above, which only mentions one bolt.

|The second bolt on pitch 10 is found after making a few moves along the slanting ramp that is the belay stance for the pitch. The topo (and scattered epic gear above) make it appear as though you might diagonal up directly off the belay.

|Thanks for clarifying, Jim. So, there are two protection bolts on Pitch 10, or one protection bolt and one belay bolt?
By Aaron Martinuzzi
Nov 30, 2011
Sounds like I might've mis-described the end of pitch 9/the beginning of pitch 10. On my ascent last year, I made it up to the scattered epic gear to which Jim referred in his post. I swiped some, and then downclimbed to the slanting ramp that he mentions to set up a belay at the 1st protection bolt and a nearby, half-driven knife blade. I'm guessing that, at the beginning of that downward sliding ramp, there is better gear, because I couldn't find anything to supplement the fixed stuff.
So, I think those bolts are intended to both be protection bolts, but the 1st one appeared, to me, to be intended for a belay stance. Your mileage may vary.

That is what I remember about the bolt placement (but I could be wrong, it is "No Country for Old Men", of which I am quickly becoming). The pitch is committing. The most excitment on that pitch for us came near the end, where the first gear opportunity is questionable and it looked fairly easy, with the finish sooo close.
Aaron, good score on that fixed gear, Kent placed that under a high degree of stress!

Just climbed this and have some additional beta that might be helpful for pitches 9 & 10. On the topo, the pitch 9 belay looks like it's right next to the peg band, but it's actually about 8' to the right on a right slanting ledge. The best way to reach it is to climb the peg until you get to the final good #2 Camalot hand crack. Then make some thin face move directly right to good edges and the anchor. The anchor consists of one new bolt and a loose knifeblade that can be wiggled out by hand.
For pitch 10, you climb up and right to a lone bolt and then fiddle in a bunch of smaller pro for the remainder of the pitch. Unless we are completely blind, there isn't a second bolt on this pitch.

Police are investigating after a man's body was found at a hospital in Melbourne's inner north on Thursday morning.
Police reported the body was found about 6.30am in a room at Thomas Embling Hospital, in Yarra Bend Road, Fairfield.
Homicide Squad detectives are at the scene and are treating the death as suspicious.
A hospital spokeswoman confirmed there had been an incident. She said police were investigating and refused to comment further.
Thomas Embling is a 116-bed secure forensic mental health hospital that houses many from the criminal justice system in need of acute psychiatric care and treatment.
This latest incident comes after a psychiatric patient fatally stabbed two fellow inmates at hospital in 2009.
He was found not guilty of the two murders by reason of mental impairment and was ordered to serve a nominal 25-year custodial supervision order to be served at Thomas Embling, where the attacks took place.
The latest death has prompted renewed calls for a second mental health facility to be built in the state with higher security to deal with high-risk patients.
Health and Community Services Union Victorian secretary Lloyd Williams says the Thomas Embling facility is simply a hospital with guards at the entrance, but not on wards.
Health and Community Services Union Victorian secretary Lloyd Williams said the state needed a second mental health facility with higher security. He said a ''one-size-fits-all approach'' was not appropriate for patients with high needs.
''We need another facility for a smaller cohort of people who require that high level of security... with those extreme cases, we only have one facility.''
He said prison and forensic health services were in desperate need of resources.
''More and more people in our prison cells have a mental illness. There are not enough beds, the government should be looking at the option of an additional facility.''
He said having guards inside the hospital would disturb the therapeutic relationship between staff and patients.
''It's not a prison, it's a hospital and our nurses provide clinical care and treatment in a secure environment.''

For the second time in two years, Louisville reserve guard Mike Marra has sustained what likely is a season-ending knee injury.
He tore the ACL in his left knee last November after only two games, and he reinjured the knee in practice Friday. An MRI will be performed Saturday, but the Cardinals fear the worse.
"Mike was just pivoting, trying to make a pass early in practice and went down," Louisville coach Rick Pitino said in a statement. "It's an unfortunate thing that happened. Mike took it very well and said it just wasn't meant to be."
Marra, a redshirt junior, averaged 6.4 points and two assists in 2010-11, starting 11 games. He scored six points in both of the Cardinals' first two games last fall before the season-ending injury.
"He's somebody who would have helped us mentally this year more than physically," Pitino told The Courier-Journal. "He would have been able to help the players — show them how to play, how to use screens, how to cut and so on. He would have been like a coach on the floor in terms of frontcourt wing players."
The injury could end his playing career. He is on schedule to graduate in the spring, and Pitino said he is in line to become a Cardinals graduate assistant thereafter should he choose to quit playing.
"We wanted Mike to be part of what we think will be a special year, but now he's going to be a GA," Pitino told the newspaper. "He's going into coaching, and I told him he's just one leg up on his competition as far as entering the coaching ranks."
The injury will help alleviate a scholarship crunch for the 2013-14 teams. Pitino had scholarships promised to 15 players but only had 13 scholarships to give. The Cardinals have four incoming players and now three exiting players (Marra plus seniors Peyton Siva and Stephan Van Treese).
Pitino has over-recruited -- a practice common in football but not in basketball -- in each of the last three years. Last summer, he revoked scholarships to Chris Smith, Kyle Kuric and Elisha Justice, who all stayed as walk-ons. Kuric, despite having his scholarship revoked, led the team in scoring and helped lead the Cardinals to a surprising Final Four run. Smith finished third on the team in scoring. This offseason, Pitino pushed Jared Swopshire (Northwestern), Rakeem Buckles (Florida International), George Goode (Missouri) and Van Treese out of the program, although Van Treese was allowed to return when Buckles left.

The NPD Group has reported that U.S. sales of home-related products, including small appliances, non-electric housewares and home fashion, reached $46 billion in 2013, a 3% increase over 2012. According to the global information company, the majority of the growth was seen in the small electrics category.
"Consumers are spending more on their homes, from adding items to spruce up the appearance to upgrading with better quality, performance or convenience in mind," said Debra Mednick, executive director, home industry analyst for the NPD Group.
All three major segments within the small appliance industry experienced dollar growth in 2013. Blender/mixer/chopper systems, specialty stylers, juice extractors, espresso makers, and bare floor cleaners are among the strongest performing categories. Increases in the average price paid for products played an important role in the growth of both small kitchen (up 5%) and personal care appliances (up 4%). Online is also playing an important role in this industry; while in-store sales of small appliances grew slightly (up 1%), and still account for the lion's share of industry dollars (72%), online sales grew an impressive 20%, now representing 20% of total dollars.
"The small appliance trade-up trend continues. Consumers are willing to pay more for the effective do-it-yourself solutions, simple pleasures, added convenience and better quality benefits that new and innovative product offerings are delivering," said Mednick.
The star of non-electric housewares products in 2013 was cookware, which saw sales increase 3% to $2.1 billion (37% of the total market). However, the tabletop spotlight was on dinnerware, as the average spend has increased over last two years. Overall, online sales brought in 17% of non-electric housewares dollars in 2013, and grew 16% from the previous year.
"Infomercials and celebrity chefs are touting the benefits of cast iron and non-toxic cookware, addressing the healthy and easy-to-clean sweet spots that many consumers are seeking," said Mednick. "The small appliance trade-up story extends to dinnerware, as consumers are gravitating toward quality casual options in more expensive materials."
Home fashions and textiles sales were driven by the bed segment, growing 2% compared with 2012, and accounting for almost 60% of industry dollars. With the exception of the kitchen & dining segment, it wasn't the average home fashions spend that increased in 2013, but rather the number of items purchased. There was a noticeable shift in channel share as online sales grew a dramatic 24% at the expense of brick and mortar retailers, which experienced a sales decline. Despite the increase, online sales of home fashions were just 14% of total dollars in 2013.
"As more alternative, flash site type sellers expand their presence in home fashions, I expect online to continue its upward trajectory. However, with the current focus on accessorizing and the absence of newness, the overall industry is likely to expand just modestly," said Mednick. "Whether it is new, innovative, or touches on some other sweet spot, communicating the end benefit to the consumer is more important than ever before in the home products industry."

Blue Jays overcome loss of Reyes to beat KC
Shortstop sustains left ankle injury, may miss several months
KANSAS CITY -- The Blue Jays were in urgent need of a resilient start on Friday night and J.A. Happ was up for the challenge.
It didn't begin in promising fashion, but the left-hander hung tough and was rewarded with an 8-4 victory over the Royals at Kauffman Stadium. With the overworked Toronto bullpen needing a starter to fill the breach, Happ opened with a 41-pitch first inning.
The Royals got three in the first to take a 3-2 lead and there were visions of another long night for the Blue Jays' relievers. But Happ took a deep breath and wound up going five innings to get the win. He left after allowing five hits and four runs. After Toronto got two runs in the second and one in the third off Kansas City starter Luis Mendoza for a 5-3 advantage, Happ was fierce in protecting the lead.
Happ finished with a flourish. With two on and one out in the fifth and Toronto leading just, 5-4, Happ got Salvador Perez on a fly ball and Mike Moustakas on a popup. Happ wound up throwing 110 pitches.
"My fastball wasn't working quite like I was hoping for," Happ said. "But I was able to settle down. I knew we were kind of short in the bullpen. I needed to bear down and get through some innings. Our offense was on a mission tonight and that was great."
Happ felt he might have been overthrowing in the first, but he tried to relax and let the ball work for him.
"I was able to get some more movement on my pitches," Happ said.
Once Happ got Toronto through five with the lead, the bullpen duo of Sergio Santos and Aaron Loup took it from there. Santos worked one clean inning and Loup faced nine hitters in three innings to lower his ERA to 1.29 and record his first Major League save.
The Blue Jays (4-6) got breathing room in the sixth with a three-run rally. Emilio Bonifacio produced his second RBI double of the game and Jose Reyes added a two-run single. But joy quickly turned to concern, when Reyes stole second and severely sprained his left ankle. The injury is expected to sideline him at least a month, according to general manager Alex Anthopoulos.
"It didn't look good," Happ said. "You try to keep going, but he's a huge part of the club."
The Royals (6-4) had a four-game winning streak snapped. They had all the answers in a three-game sweep over Minnesota earlier in the week, but weren't able to build on their three-run first. The Blue Jays came right back in the second with consecutive doubles by Colby Rasmus and Bonifacio. When Bonifacio went to third on the throw home, Perez tried throwing there. But the ball sailed past third for an error and Bonifacio scored the go-ahead run.
Kansas City manager Ned Yost lamented that his team couldn't manage much offense after the three-run first.
"We got [Happ's] pitch count up and then he did what we hoped Mendy would do -- he settled in during the second, third and fourth," Yost said. "It took Mendy until the fourth."

Thank you for this celebratory article about Corita, whom I was honored to meet at least twice when she exhibited her work at Marylhurst College. This week, while attending a cancer symposium at the South Waterfront campus of Oregon Health Sciences University, I admired dozens of her heart-ful serigraphs on the 3rd floor of the Paul Kirk building.
How appropriate as the calendar approaches Valentine's Day!

Everyone should read this, shows we need to get rid of Mallory, maybe our D can improve if we get a good defensive coach, every other defense Mallory has coached improved after he left
Which is exactly why he shouldn't have been hired in the first place. Barring a bowl game next year Wilson has to go.
agreed, next year needs to be Wilson's last year, if we aren't bowling he has to go. Mallory on the other hand, needs to be gone after this Saturday
Shouldn't have been afraid to pull a kiffin on him.
lol- no doubt. he deserves it.
Well, it has been a wholly disappointing season for IU football, but at least we will be getting the Bucket back.
I'm watching the game on BTN2GO. Kinda annoying, whenever it goes to commercial break it forgets what game I was watching. I have to re-select it from the game bar. Then I have to unmute the sound and toggle the game bar off. It's annoying.
Wow, Purdue is the worst team IU has played this season. They are epically awful. At least we gave PU a game in Wilson's first year.
I spoke too soon. Never count on an IU team to seal the deal and win.
A perfect way for Mallory to go out- giving up 36 points and 516 yards to one of the worst offenses in the FBS.
Etling is a scrub and we made him look like Drew Brees.
That is OUR BUCKET PUkes!!!
You have to think Wilson wants Mallory gone from the standpoint of his own long-term prospects. The guy's inept defense could eventually cost Wilson his job if he's not canned ASAP. If Wilson sucks, at least let it be clear and well earned.
I'd rather die standing up than live on my knees.
-Emiliano Zapata
That was actually a great thing. The game was never in doubt, and Purdue's pathetic offense putting up those many yards and that many points all but assures Mallory is gone.
So, next season who does everyone prefer, Tre Roberson, or Nate Sudfeld? I like Roberson more, I think we should be a more run oriented offense, especially with Kofi Hughes and Ted Bolser gone, and Cody Latimer likely declaring for the draft. I also think Tevin Coleman can be the best back in the B1G with Carlos Hyde gone and Ameer Abdullah probably leaving
Also, I would just like to say I think Coach Wilson is the right guy for the job, sure he makes some bonehead calls sometimes, but if we had a halfway decent defensive coordinator with him, we would probably be 7-5 right now
Honestly, I don't care. I'm comfortable with either of them. The offense is not and has not been the problem. It won't matter who starts if we continue to play matador defense.
Just those two? The Michigan game pisses me off something fierce also.
Has Mallory been fired yet?
Just because we have more wins doesnt mean we got better. Just a result of the Big Ten being weaker.
Well its his fault he had mallory.
The only positives I take from IU's football season are:
1) Finally beating Penn State
2) Getting the Bucket back and actually getting to see a blowout win over Purdue for the first time I can remember
Doug Mallory can go **** himself. This was an 8 win team and he kept them out of a bowl.
Wilson is laying the foundation to keep Mallory. There goes next season smh
How so?
If anyone puts Mallory's worthless *** on the street it'll probably have to be Fred Glass. Wilson doesn't care enough to do it.

excuse my ignorance, but i thought t-mobile already had the iphone.
I few years ago I still had Tmo..I had a G1 at the time and wanted an iPhone. I grabbed one and called Tmo. I told them I had the iPhone and they said no problem, we have an iPhone plan. I said really?? I was setup in 5 minutes and everything worked fine. Only draw back was that there was no 3G support just edge. If you can get around that you are all good. I really wish we were more European about our cell phones(meaning no contracts..more pay as you go) I know we have companies out there that offer these services but I'd like to see more.
TMobile really dont need to sign a contract with Apple. Just like other companies Apple will not give much money to TMobile. So the alternative is that TMobile should change its data frequency so that iPhone CAN RUN ON 3g on TMobile network. I think TMobile is already working on it.
T-Mobile are trailing 1900 in some areas but I doubt if they have the resources to change a significant part of the country. What they are doing is rolling out 4G - assuming the next gen iPhone supports T-Mobile's 4G, it makes sense for them to wait until that is out.
i'd still go for AT&T... never had a problem with it..
No network is perfect, but if you've found one you are happy with, stick with it!

Recently Released Home Visiting Supplemental Information Request (SIR)
Mar 30, 2011
By: Stephanie Schmit
The latest Evidence-Based Home Visiting Supplemental Information Request (SIR) has recently been released by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) with collaboration from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) as outlined in the first Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). This information request provides states guidance in preparing their updated plans for their home visiting programs. States must complete these plans to receive federal funds for home visiting programs. The new information request strengthens the earlier guidance in important ways.
The SIR addresses the requirements for updated state plans, the steps necessary for completing the requirements, and how HHS will review plans. It includes information explaining the criteria HHS uses to determine evidence-based models, the models initially found to meet the criteria, and details about using "promising approaches" in addition to evidence-based models. The SIR also addresses program implementation and requires states to update their plans to focus on quality. The implementation components necessary include (but are not limited to):
- how the state will develop standards regarding home visiting;
- a plan for recruiting and training qualified staff;
- a plan for ensuring fidelity to the chosen model; and
- a plan for recruiting and retaining program participants.
The flexibility that the SIR provides for states to combine a variety of home visiting models that will best fit their communities, coupled with requirements that they further flesh out their plans for coordinating with other programs, providers and systems, increase the likelihood that states will use the new home visiting program to strengthen their capacity to provide coordinated early childhood systems that are capable of meeting the needs of the children, families and caregivers. CLASP is pleased that the guidance gives states the tools and encouragement to use home visiting as a lever to change our approach to addressing the challenges facing young children and those who care for them.

2006 Hummer H3 - Heroes
Hummer H3 Guardian Squad
Haze and mist thicker than 50W oil loom inside the confines of the alley creating a world of fear and doubt. A scream can be heard in the distance, meanwhile, a blaze of light and fire comes to the rescue like an angel descending from the heavens. Only, instead of trumpets blaring, booming decibels from the subwoofers can be felt. This is no super hero, it is the Real Wheels HUMMER H3, also dubbed, the Guardian. Fearing no off-road trail, no dark and desolate alley, not even the bourgeois after-hours dinner, this purpose-built SUV is capable of freeing you from the confines of office boredom, or even worse, the restraints of city life.
Created by the uber-talented crew at Real Wheels, in Gurnee, Illinois, these two Hummer H3s were built with similar goals in mind, but by taking two different approaches, the duo turned out vastly unique. Real Wheels specializes in billet and stainless-steel accessories for Hummer's H1, H2, and H3 models. Needing a vehicle to showcase its newest line of products, the Hummer H3 was nominated for duty and the job of building a vehicle to stop people dead in their tracks.
Given the moniker "Guardian," the first H3 built by Real Wheels was designed to be the companies most elaborate and custom rig to date. Starting with a stock H3 before they were even available to the public, the build team began by removing several of the interior plastic pieces, which were sent off to Extreme Finish & Trim, in Georgia, for faux carbon-fiber wrap and then they removed the factory seats and scrapped them. Keeping the original dash shape, all of the gauges and HVAC controls were removed, a new center-gauge cluster was built to house the 12 Stewart Warner gauges, and the upper dash was wrapped in suede by Showtime Audio in Chicago. While they were at it, Showtime Audio created a new surveillance system by installing five monitors in the stock-gauge cluster location which provided views from the exterior-mounted cameras in each fender and hatch. If you're familiar with H3s, you know they are equipped with center console shifters, but this special creation now has a billet turn dial to select transmission drives, and it is stealthily located on the driver door. Showtime Audio also wrapped the fabricated door panels that house monitors and billet pieces in suede, along with the headliner, complete with red-suede flames, and they also covered the Status Racing seats in matching Alcantara suede. Billet sunvisors were built by Real Wheels and house two 7-inch Salient monitors, each. Other monitors include a 7-inch in the passenger side dash, located next to the Playstation PSP, three 17.2-inch Salient widescreen monitors in the rear hatch, and, with the flip of a switch, the floor raises to reveal a 42-inch plasma TV-wrapped in suede, of course. Powering the audio and video system is an Alpine headunit sending signals to MTX amps powering four 10-inch MTX subs mounted in the rear-cargo window area with MTX separates mounted throughout the H3. StreetWires cables and fuse holders were used to keep everything powered along with a huge Ohio Generator alternator, and two Optima batteries. The interior is a modern marvel in upholstery, audio/video, and craftsmanship.
Moving outside of the insane interior, the shell of the H3 needed to be modified. Real Wheels built dozens of chromed billet, polished stainless, and carbon-fiber trim pieces and accessories for the H3. Up top, a polished stainless light bar and roof rack was mounted to provide a home for the five KC Hilites off-road lights. Also mounted onto the H3, a GO Light remote-controlled searchlight system was installed, and provides instant accessibility for nighttime rescues. Other acces-sories include Real Wheels billet door handle surrounds, billet taillight guards, and a burly front grille and hood guard. Attitude Performance in Arlington Heights, Illinois, was called upon for the Rancho suspension lift and while they worked, added the LT335/55R22 BFGoodrich Mud Terrain tires, which were mounted onto 22x9-1/2-inch Luff S3T chrome wheels. Slowing this large rolling mass was put in the capable hands of the huge 16-inch six piston JBT Motorsports big brake kit. Stopping wasn't an issue now, but power coming from the stock 3.5L was in question. To remedy that situation, Real Wheels contacted Club Conceptz Racing for a Garret GT35 turbo complete with custom air intake, header, and 44lb injectors.
To finish off the Guardian H3, Jay Wright of Custom Painted Vehicles in Racine, Wisconsin, came in to paint the realistic fire onto the black Hummer with BASF orange, yellow, red, and white paints. Besides the flames, images ranging from angels, chariots, skulls, and other figures could be seen inside of the inferno. Special care was taken to make sure each piece of the unbelievable Hummer was custom and unique. The end result was well worth the hard work and collaborated efforts. You'll never see such a custom H3 anywhere, we guarantee it.
In order to fully appreciate just how much billet and polished stainless are on the Guardian H3, Real Wheels decided to build a sibling to it. Only this time, by using black instead of the shiny stuff. Starting with a stock red H3, the Real Wheels team went to work again.
Attitude Performance was called upon to lift the H3, and did so with an identical Rancho lift by using adjustable RS9000X shocks. Filling the void created by the lift are 20-inch Zyoxx ZX4 black-faced wheels mounted onto 35-inch BFGoodrich All Terrains. Adding more muscle to the stock 3.5L, a Corsa dual exhaust was bolted on. Real Wheels then added several black stainless accessories which included: front brush guard, roof rack, step bars, taillight guards, gas door, side marker trim, door handle surrounds, antenna, and rocker trim. Now, a whole new off-road attitude was present on the H3 and the team finished it off with a clean interior.
Inside the Hummer H3, Showtime Audio built two custom fiberglass sub enclosures in the rear window cargo area housing 12-inch MTX subs. MTX amps were bolted to a bar and mounted to the headliner with red lighting shining through the plexiglass. A JVC DVD/Navigation unit provides movies and tunes, alike, in the stock location. Everything else was left stock, after all, they already had an insane H3 to gawk at.
Built to showcase the Real Wheel's crew's creativity, build talent, and cool accessories, both of these H3s are in a class all their own. Riding down the street must be a fun experience, as these two would make people on both sides of the fence happy.

Editors' Note: Special thanks to Jhan Dolphin and the entire Real Wheels team for making this shoot happen, we appreciate your dedication and professionalism.

Obesity and Weight Management
Weight Gain After Serious Iillness
18 months ago I was given 1 month to live with Crohns disease, for almost 2 years I could not eat my weight plummeted, I then underwent a pan proctoclectomy and against the odds survived. Now however I have gone the opposite way and have gained 4 stones, I am not overeating, I don`t gorge on sweets, or smoke or drink, yet my weight will not come down. I am not very active due to my health, Doctor says my body is holding onto everything due to it being in starvation mode, what can I do to change this, nothing is working, and I hate it, would a gastric lap band be the answer
Thank you for your inquiry about weight loss surgery.
Unfortunately, the Lap Band device is contraindicated in patients with Crohns Disease due to the possibility of chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. I would work with your primary care physician to develop a diet and exercise plan appropriate for you.

BOOK-lovers can share their passion and inspire children to read more with a new scheme backed by Clarets' star Danny Ings.
The Children and Young People's Trust and Burnley FC in the Community has joined forces with libraries to create the Pass It On campaign.
The project encourages children to recommend or pass on a book to friends or family, and make sure one of the books they read this summer is one that has been recommended to them.
Janet Swan, a reading specialist from Burnley who works with people with mental health difficulties, said: "Anything that encourages children to read is a good thing.
"The social aspect will help them to make new, like-minded friends, which builds their confidence.
"Passing on the books to other children also makes it more affordable for parents, and it will support libraries. However, I would also like to see children being read to more, listening to and discussing stories, not only sharing books in a social media way.
"But this sounds like a very good idea, and having Danny Ings on board will, of course, get all the children interested."
Children can get involved with the scheme by visiting summerreading challenge.org.uk. They can then create a profile, chat about books and get ideas on what to read via the digital Book Sorter, which offers more than 300,000 children's book recommendations.
Clarets striker Danny: "This year many children across the country will be inspired to celebrate reading and recommend or 'pass on' their favourite books to friends and family. It is a great way to motivate kids to visit libraries and prevent their reading skills dropping during the holidays.
"The book I'd like to pass on to youngsters is James And The Giant Peach by Roald Dahl, which is a book I remember reading when I was younger."
Every year, the Summer Reading Challenge adopts a new theme and 2014's is the Mythical Maze to explore myths and legends from all over the world.
Children can sign up at their local library. More information and a full timetable of the Summer Reading Challenge and its events can be found on pointme.org.uk.

Our Philosophy
Program Philosophy
The goal of Greater Baltimore Medical Center's Residency Program in Colon and Rectal Surgery is to provide an educational experience such that, upon completion of the training period, the resident will be able to evaluate and treat patients with colon and rectal disease with a higher degree of expertise and skill than even a well-trained general surgeon and will feel confident in the management of even the most complex of colorectal problems.
Our program's guiding philosophy is that the residency year at GBMC is a purely educational experience - there is no service component to our training program - and the resident is given great flexibility and independence in planning his or her daily activities in a manner that maximizes the opportunities for learning.
The program's goals are achieved through a combination of carefully structured and supervised clinical and didactic activities.
Working one-on-one with attending colon and rectal surgeons, the resident learns to integrate the findings derived from office examination, endoscopy suite, and physiology laboratory in establishing a diagnosis and developing a sound and scientifically-based treatment plan. In arriving at this plan, the resident and attending surgeon also take into consideration relevant issues of ethics and cost effectiveness, and the resident learns how to present these conclusions to the patient in a humane and compassionate manner.
If surgical treatment is undertaken, the resident operates with and under the direct supervision of an attending colon and rectal surgeon and actively participates in the patient's postoperative care, both in the hospital and in office follow-up.
This process, when combined with review of the patient's imaging and pathology studies in formal Radiology and Pathology Conferences, provides the resident with a comprehensive vertically-integrated learning experience.
The didactic portion of GBMC Residency Program in Colon and Rectal Surgery offers an intellectually stimulating experience whose goal is to provide the resident with a knowledge base for scientifically valid clinical decision-making. In addition, the resident acquires a critical sense for evaluation of medical literature, studies the broad spectrum of colon and rectal disease in preparation for the examination of the American Board of Colon and Rectal Surgery, and learns how to develop a clinical research project.
The program achieves these goals through Journal Club, at which the resident presents recent or classic articles to the attending staff for discussion and analysis, Textbook Conference, in which the resident systematically reviews a major textbook in colon and rectal with a faculty member, and Pathology and Radiology Conferences, in which the relevant studies from the resident's clinical experience, as well as examples from the hospital's teaching collections, are reviewed with a staff pathologist or radiologist.
In addition, under the guidance of a faculty member, the resident prepares an article for publication or a podium presentation for delivery at a regional or national meeting.
The program supplements the formal didactic program by encouraging the resident to attend GBMC Surgical Grand Rounds as well as local surgical and gastroenterologic meetings. GBMC also funds the resident's attendance at the annual convention of the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons.
Upon completion of GBMC Residency Program in Colon and Rectal Surgery, the resident will possess the knowledge and skill to treat patients with colon and rectal disease in a state-of-the-art manner and with a degree of sophistication beyond that possessed by even a well-trained general surgeon. As a practitioner, he or she will derive a high degree of personal and professional satisfaction through an in-depth knowledge and understanding of their chosen field and in providing their patients with the highest possible level of care.

Ukiah Daily Journal
About 30 ATVs were reportedly destroyed Monday when a fire broke out on North State Street near Highway 101.
Witnesses on-scene reported that the fire began on the west side of Highway 101 near Mendo Mill in the 1800 block of N. State Street around 4:45 p.m. Aug. 26.
The fire then reportedly jumped the highway and traveled to Motosports of Ukiah, burning about 30 ATVs valued at $20,000 a piece.
The fire also jumped North State Street and into the former Masonite property before being contained.
The combined Ukiah Valley Fire District and Ukiah Fire Department responded to the incident along with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
Further details were not available Monday night.


text: i think you just wait til the deadline and see what offer makes the most sense. Larrys phone will likely ring off the hook up until the deadline both with direct deals as well as those that would involve the pacers being a facilitator given the fact they have so much capspace. Then he can decide which deal fits the best and is the best value. No sense in jumping the gun.

A Sacramento man was arrested Sunday afternoon after an alleged road-rage incident that began on the Yolo Causeway during which he allegedly waved a samurai-type sword at another motorist before eventually being taken into custody just east of Fairfield, the California Highway Patrol reported.
Tristan Quilter, 31, was forced over during a felony stop on westbound Interstate 80 near the Cordelia truck scales, where he was taken into custody on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon -- a vehicle -- and brandishing a weapon, said CHP Sgt. Jason Hekker.
According to the victim, an unidentified 22-year-old Vacaville man, the incident began around 2 p.m., when Quilter, who was driving a silver 2006 Honda Civic, began tailgating and aggressively swerving toward his vehicle, Hekker said. Witnesses reported that the victim had been keeping up with the flow of traffic. However, when he slowed to try to allow the other motorist around him, Quilter allegedly became more agitated.
The incident continued to escalate as they continued traveling west, Hekker said. While driving through Vacaville, Quilter allegedly reached for a sword that was approximately 2 feet in length and waved it out the window of his vehicle at the victim's SUV and continued to taunt him.
As Quilter continued "circling (the victim's) vehicle," he drove up on the right side of the victim's SUV before making and aggressive sharp left, intentionally swerving in front of the victim and forcing him to slam on his brakes, Hekker said. As a result of Quilter's alleged actions, the victim was rear-ended by another motorist traveling behind him.
There were no injuries in the crash, Hekker noted, and both vehicles sustained only minor damage.
Other motorists had called 911 reporting the incident and officers were on the lookout for Quilter's vehicle, which was spotted by Hekker as it passed Travis Boulevard in Fairfield. Witnesses were able to provide the suspect's license plate number, confirming it was the correct vehicle, and Quilter was finally stopped near the scales.
Hekker said the sword was at Quilter's feet when he was detained.
The victim was then transported to the scene for an in-field lineup, Hekker said. The victim positively identified Quilter as the suspect, and he was subsequently booked into Solano County Jail.

I finally got highspeed internet, so I was able to download the DirectX SDK. However, I'm in a bit of a bind...
Which should I use? VB.NET or C#? I don't know any C#, but I've been using VB.NET for almost a year, and I understand it pretty well. But is C# better for game development? Are there any huge differences besides the syntax?
Both languages are exactly the same except for syntax! You're probably best off just using VB if you know it already. Everything get's compiled into the same intermediate language and get's run in the same Virtual Machine so your code's going to run just as fast from either language. Especially if you're more proficient in VB you're going to be writing better code (thus faster code) in VB than you ever would get while still learning C#.
Visual Basic is a dying language. For good reasons! It's syntax is just horrible compared to any C-based language.
C# was desinged from the start to be a nice and easy language for .NET. And knowing C syntax is a big plus for any other programming project. You're going to have to learn it sooner or later anyway.
Yes... Visual Basic is a dying language. However, Visual Basic .NET is not. It's syntax is clean and straightforward, imho.
I thought visual basic had a massive developer base? I had to use it in school and hated it, but it's probably not aimed for programmers.
If you start a new project: Definitely go for C#!
I think a better suggestion would have been:
If you start a new project, use what you know, but don't feel obliged to adhere to only one language. Start a few smaller projects in C# and get a feel for it. If you like it, go ahead and port what you have done on your project to C# and finish writing it.
Good luck =)
i say go for C# theres much more support for it in terms of programming for direct x
C# is the new VB. If I were you, I'd still write it in VB.
SmokingRope is right, they are exactly the same from the runtime standpoint, so if you are going to write better code with VB.Net then most definately stick with it. Granted, most of your knowledge will translate over to C# without much of a problem, there are subtile differences which will take a little retraining to learn. As for the marketplace, at this moment VB.Net programmers are one of the hottest career paths. This past week alone I've turned down 5 new contracts for VB.net app and web projects. C# is popular, but I still believe VB.Net has an edge at this point.

The study, published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, included 98 healthy people over 55 years old. They were randomly assigned to receive either 300 mg of Bacopa monnieri extract per day or placebo for 12 weeks.
