As photo processing continues to evolve, retailers are finding new ways to make the department profitable. Bing Liem, VP sales for Fujifilm North America, said retailers need to re-evaluate their existing on-site photo business.
"It's critical to maximize the use of existing assets," he said. New product offerings, such as posters, folded cards, calendars and books, help maximize the value of the category, Liem said.
Photo printing through retail and online sources remained flat in 2010, according to the Photo Marketing Association, with total print volume (both standard photo film and digital prints) sales dipping 7% over the previous year.
Gary Pageau, a spokesman for PMA, said higher margin photo publishing products, such as photo books and calendars, offer opportunity, as do cards and stationery. "Retailers have to adapt their business. That can mean anything from offering storage to offering online scrapbooks," he said.
A new opportunity may be 3-D photography. "It's making a resurgence, so retailers have an opportunity to get into that niche," Pageau said. "The future is in a number of niche businesses rather than the old model of one product accounting for 90% of the market."

(UPDATED COVERAGE, Nov. 8) Wegmans Food Markets Inc. voluntarily recalled organic spinach and spring mix sourced by Chelsea, Mass.-based State Garden Inc. that's been linked to 19 illnesses in New York from E. coli O157:H7 contamination.
The outbreak hit five western New York counties: Monroe, Erie, Niagara, Steuben and Wayne. Five of the 19 were hospitalized. By Nov. 8 all but one was released, said Jeffrey Hammond, spokesman for the New York State Department of Health.
Wegmans announced the recall Nov. 1. A traceback to the grower was still ongoing Nov. 8, said Pat El-Hinnawy, spokeswoman for the Food and Drug Administration.
"Illnesses are being investigated, but no illnesses have been confirmed as related to State Garden products," State Garden spokesman Jeff Jubelirer said in a news release.
The product, a blend of the two organic leafy greens, was sold Oct. 14 to Nov. 1 in 11-ounce and 5-ounce clamshells at Wegmans stores in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, Maryland and Massachusetts. It's labeled Wegmans Food You Feel Good About Organic Spinach and Spring Mix.
Universal Product Codes are 77890-16411 for the 11-ounce and 77890-16437 for the 5-ounce. Wegmans recalled about 31,000 pounds of product.
According to State Garden, the item under investigation is the 11-ounce blend with use-by dates of Oct. 23 and Oct. 24 and traceback codes of 60832 and 14765. Those were distributed to Wegmans stores in New York.
As a precaution, Wegmans removed all code dates from all stores and called customers who purchased the items using their Shopper Club cards.
Wegmans and State Garden said they worked closely with New York State's Department of Health and Department of Agriculture and Markets after learning the illnesses may be associated with the product.

Topic: Ascites/Drain tube
My husband, Dirk Bailey was diagnosed with CC in July of 2006. He has recently developed ascites and has had two paracentisis done since 10/30/07. He has alot of fluid right now, probably at least 1 gallon that is going to be drained at the hospital tomorrow. They are also going to put in a tube that he can use to drain the abdominal cavity himself. Has anyone had this procedure? Did you have any problems or was it better than going to the hospital every week? His labs and MRI's all seem to be relatively good, but something is causing the ascites. Can anyone explain to me better than the physician as to what is going on? Is his liver shutting down? Thanks for any help you can provide regarding this matter. This web site has been a wonderful learning tool for me.

|100 Northstar Drive, Truckee, CA [large map] 39.2779, -120.12
|norcal, northstar, lake tahoe
|Super D
These courses are typically not as technical in nature as Downhill races; testing both a rider's endurance and bike handing skills. Most competitors will choose a 4-6 inch travel trail bike to compete on. This is a great event a lot of people can enjoy. There isn't a whole lot of climbing so you don't have to be in great shape, although it doesn't hurt, and you don't need a full downhill bike to make it down.
Northstar's Super D races will begin at 3:30 at the Top of either the Tahoe Zephyr or Vista Express Chair lifts and finish in the village. Super D is a hybrid event combining aspects of the disciplines of Cross Country and Downhill racing.

Good morning everyone,
Do you stretch regularly, pre- or post-run? Have you changed your stretching habits over the years? What's your WOTD?
Good morning everyone,
Do you stretch regularly, pre- or post-run? Have you changed your stretching habits over the years? What's your WOTD?
Good morning, r2th.
Due to time constraints the past year I haven't stretched regularly. I do some light dynamic lower body stuff before each run, though. When I was really rolling in races a year and a half ago with seemingly pedestrian workouts I think a big component of my performances (other than almost daily hills) was that I was doing a combo rolling/static stretching routine almost every night right before bed. The few times I've done that lately I've felt really good on the run the next day so I'm looking forward to getting back into that routine when school's over next month.
8M easy hills this morning.
QOTD: no.
QOTD: I stretch after most runs, but should stretch more throughout the day. In the old days I used to do static stretches before the run. Now I do some light drills as a warmup.
WOTD: 5 easy
QOTD- I didn't used to stretch much, but since my hip injury in 2010 I stretch religiously. I'm stretching right now as I type this on my stand up desk.
Today- 6mi easy. Felt like a million bucks this morning, whereas I expected to be sore from 5x1200m yesterday. That's a good sign.
QOTD: Not tons of stretching before morning runs, but will stop to do a little bit early on if it's a longer morning run. Of course, I'll stop to do dynamic stretching/drills before the workout portion of any run. Before evening runs I'll likely do a little more stretching, as I'm warmed up from just moving all day.
Post-running I'll do quite a bit of stretching. On some of my easier days (like today) I spend more time doing post-run stretching than running. Not that I enjoy it, but it's necessary.
And throughout the day I'll do random stretching here and there. Not super-flexible, but have always had issues with soft-tissue stuff, so it's a necessary step, boring as it may be.
WOTD: 4 easy, feeling way more pooped after yesterday's workout than expected.
QOTD- I definitely need to stretch more. I'm dealing with abdominal tightness that's probably tied to tightness in my hip area. This is a major item on my To Do list for running which should help my racing.
Today- 6 mi at lunch. 13 mi after work. That's the plan.
I thought I'd post and try to get back in the habit. It could be good for me right now to get some accountability from fellow runners as I push towards some "A" races. Some of the coddling that you get from folks on Facebook when things don't go right can make a runner soft. Hehe.
QOTD - I do Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) almost every day, sometimes post-run, sometimes in the evening. I give partial credit to this regimen for my come back from injury at the beginning of the year. I also do some hip flexion pre-run to warm-up.
WOTD - Weights (AM):
Barbell Squats: 10x95lbs, 3x10/115 lbs
Deadlifts: 3x10/95 lbs
Flat bench alternating DB press 3x20/30 lbs
3x12 [Calves 3x12/160/180 lbs • Tibia /30 lbs]
3x10 [Quad Single leg extensions/ 75lbs • Hip extension/10lbs]
Single DB Back Row 3x10/ 45 lbs
HammerStrength Incline leg press 3x10+180 lbs
Pull ups 2x8
• some biking (45min-1hr) after work.
HC - interesting to read that.
Carpe - if you make it to the Big Island, you have to try the pelagic night dive with Jack's Diving Locker. They take you off shore, tether you to the boat, and you drift at night at ~20-45 ft deep. The number and variety of creatures that you can see on that dive are unique.
FM79 - great triathlon stories yesterday!
QOTD: I do a short static stretching routine before and after every run. I recall reading that static stretching might adversely affect performance so I try to add some dynamic stretches if I'm doing speed work or racing. I should probably stretch more throughout the day, though.
WOTD: 10 miles easy
Welcome back Gundy!
I thought I'd post and try to get back in the habit. It could be good for me right now to get some accountability from fellow runners as I push towards some "A" races. Some of the coddling that you get from folks on Facebook when things don't go right can make a runner soft. Hehe.
Then make sure you report back having run those planned workouts. Otherwise...
QOTD: I do some dynamic stretching prior to every run and quite a bit of static stretches after every run. The static stretches include the routine the PT gave me back in December/January. Seems to be helping quite a lot - not having the foot issues I was dealing with last fall. So I'll keep doing them!
WOTD: 6.5 miles
QOTD - Nope
WOTD - weights
Welcome back Gundy!
QOTD: I stretch, foam roll post run, sometimes in the evening too. I also get a weekly massage.
WOTD: 15mi Progression. Very humid, but cloudy with some breeze. Helped to get some MP miles in.
QOTD: same as quevola
WOTD: 4 miles after work.
QOTD - I'll do a few neck-rolls and whatnot but, in general, no I don't stretch before or after runs. I do some dynamic stuff before workouts and races though.
WOTD - did 8 at lunch, will do 5 more tonight including 10X60 sprints on the infield grass.
Arthur!? He wasn't even elected.
Chester Alan Arthur (October 5, 1829 – November 18, 1886) was the 21st President of the United States (1881–85). Becoming President after the assassination of PresidentJames A. Garfield, Arthur struggled to overcome suspicions of his beginnings as a politician from the New York City Republican machine, succeeding at that task by embracing the cause of civil service reform. His advocacy and then enforcement of the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act was the centerpiece of his administration.
QOTD: I started stretching more after PT for back issues; quads, piriformis, adductors, calves. I swore I would keep it up while I have been on my running hiatus. And I did for several weeks. But once the SFX was diagnosed and I put on the boot, I haven't felt like doing so.
WOTD: Nothing. Podiatrist said to take off the boot and ease into running after 6 weeks. That was Monday. I've kept the boot on for two more days. When you've gone this long, you don't feel like another few days away is so bad - at least not as bad as reinjury.
Barb: Thanks very much for the tip on Pfitz's program for returning to running after SFX. Part of me is disappointed that it's going another 7 weeks before I work up to 20 miles in a week. But I am not at all interested in another SFX or PF. I think I'll start by doing a bit of boot-free walking for a couple of days, then start that plan, with some cycling on top of it to try and get the aerobic conditioning back a bit quicker.
QOTD: I do some light stretching in the beginning of my lunchtime runs because my running partner does. Otherwise, the only stretching I do is in my boot camp, usually 3x/week. The stretches have gone from mostly static to more and more dynamic o ER the years, which is a good thing, I think.
WOTD: 7.3 hilly SF miles with doglb. 11 miles bikingto/ from our(rental) place in SF to the Exploratorium, a hands-on science museum in SF.
Gundy: Welcome back. You're soft. You suck. Next time you run in Death Valley, you should wear a Darth Vader costume.
Pasadena: yes, the Pftz program is a very gradual return. 7 weeks may seem like a long time, but I found it helpful in preventing me from doing too much, too soon. i actually didn't start it right away after my first sfx - the recommendation is to be able to walk briskly for 1 hour before starting the schedule. And 7 weeks is really not much time in the long run (pun sort of intended.)
Back when I was really training and racing I stretched and used my rolly a lot. Still I felt stiff frequently. Now I am not able to push myself hard enough to ever feel stiff or sore or in need of a good stretch so I have not worried about it for some time.
I ran 7 easy early this AM. I was planning to race a 5k tomorrow, but after 3 nights in a row of only 4ish hours of sleep due to homework overload, I am feeling a bit too tired to put forth that sort of effort. I may just do some fartlek or tempo repeats instead. Then this weekend I am getting back up into high altitude however, am going with Mike instead of a runner friend, so we will probably hike most of the way up and run/hike down. I have been trying to talk him into our first 14er (an easy class 1), but so far no luck and being that he has never been up past 9ish we probably should get him in a few 11,000-12,000 ft hikes first.
Have a wonderful holiday weekend everyone!!!!
QOTD: I have to stretch before every run. But since I meet my running partner at 4:45, it's not much. I'll roll out my hamstrings, calves and IT band first. Then head out the door and stretch my calves on the curb. Then I run to our meeting point (.31/mile down the street) and usually get there a minute or two before she does, so I stretch my quads and hip flexor. After, I'll stretch my calves on the curb, quads in the driveway and then move to my husband's Xterra to stretch my hamstrings and hip flexor. The bumper is just the right height to get a good stretch. Then I'll do some rolling. For races, I put my yoga strap and stick in my drop bag to use pre-race.
WOTD: power yoga this morning.
QOTD - I stretch, but still not enough...
6 miles today.
when I was competing in races about 5 years back I did yoga at least once a week and it helped me alot.
I believe I would have been injured quite abit more had I not done the yoga.
Nowadays I don't do any stretching- I just run when I have the chance.
Carpe - if you make it to the Big Island, you have to try the pelagic night dive with Jack's Diving Locker. They take you off shore, tether you to the boat, and you drift at night at ~20-45 ft deep. The number and variety of creatures that you can see on that dive are unique.
FM79 - great triathlon stories yesterday!
run2thehills; glad you enjoyed the tri stories. That pelagic night dive sounds great. I also dove over on the Big island but not with Jacks. It was some years back I cannot recall the operators name. On the final dive of the day I watched a Triton's Trumpet kill and devour a Crown of Thorns starfish. It killed it with it's barb then slowly pulled the starfish inside of the shell. Never had seen anything like that - quite amasing- the whole process took around 20 minutes to watch. Was on a shallow reef in about 10 feet of water, end of the dive and I ran my tank down to empty.

By Notes From The Frugal Trenches
When I first became more environmentally conscious and decided to make major changes in my spending, both by spending less and by committing to spending on quality local, fairtrade etc, it occurred to me the one worry I had was my addiction to books - the last time I looked there were no fairtrade books available yet! For a few weeks I worried and fretted and then little by little I began to see there were many ways my new commitments could be adhered to, even with a pretty significant reading addiction.
The first thing I did was stop purchasing my daily papers. To ease into the transition, I allowed myself to purchase a weekend paper but the rest of the week I read the papers online! I have to say, the transition was incredibly easy - I so enjoyed my weekend treat and found incredible resources online through blogs, websites and forums that in many ways opened up my world all the more!
Next I dusted off the old library card, which was used about once a month previously and I committed to going to the library each week to look for new books I'd like to read. My local library, sadly, doesn't have a very large selection however I have found some gems there, read some books I would not normally have read and learned to wait patiently for others :)
I then did an inventory of all the books I had, and shame on me found quiet a few I'd never read. I kept the books that were favourites, those which would be needed for smallholding and donated the rest to charities. Boy did that feel good :)
Finally, I found out about local book resources, like a free book cycle program in my city, book swaps online, second hand book sellers and charity shops.
Now, if I come across a book I'd really like to read instead of jumping to buy it I
- really examine if this is the right time to read the book - a bit of a need vs want check, although yes ultimately reading is a want (only just!)
- check my local library
- have a look at local charity shops
- ask friends and people in my reading groups
- check online groups or stores for second hand sales that are within my reading budget
- put the books on my "wish list" for Birthdays and Christmas
- accept it may take a month or even a year to find a book, but accept it and enjoy the wait :)
And what am I currently reading? Animal, Vegetable Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver and I'm re-reading Fall On Your Knees by Anne Marie McDonald.
How do you cope with the desire to learn and read with the frugal, simple and green life? What are you currently reading?

Audie Award Nominee, Children's Titles for Ages 8-12, 2013
August (Auggie) Pullman was born with a facial deformity that prevented him from going to a mainstream school - until now. He's about to enter fifth grade at Beecher Prep, and if you've ever been the new kid, then you know how hard that can be. The thing is Auggie's just an ordinary kid, with an extraordinary face. But can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them, despite appearances? R. J. Palacio has crafted an uplifting novel full of wonderfully realistic family interactions, lively school scenes, and writing that shines with spare emotional power.
©2012 R. J. Palacio (P)2012 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"Wonder is a book with such a big, wide heart - it shows how we are all fragile, imperfect, and perfectly beautiful creatures. A wonderful novel by a wonder of a writer!" (Julia Alvarez, author of Return to Sender, Before We Were Free, Finding Miracles, and the Tía Lola Stories)
Say something about yourself!
"A WONDER-ful read for kids and adults"
I have to admit that when I first started listening, the narrator's interpretation of Augie's voice wa a little hard to get used to. But the narrator hit just the right note, because a kid with a severe facial deformity WOULD have trouble speaking. In retrospect, this was perfect because it gave me a hint of the feeling other characters have upon meeting Augie. His face makes people uncomfortable--to say the least.
I found this masterful book after reading a NY Times rave review. I work in the YA market, so I need to stay current with the best books. Although this is supposed to be a middle grade novel, I'm giving it out to many of my adult friends for Christmas.
The characters, each and every one, are so beautifully realized. You will root for Augie, this very funny, very cool, but very damaged kid. You will love the unlikely friends he makes and boo for his villainous enemies. You will love the way Augie wins people over.
Parents might be interested to know that, unlike many of today's popular middle grade and YA fiction, the parents in this book are caring, dedicated parents. They aren't drunk, they aren't on drugs, they aren't brain-dead. I loved how they struggle to do their best for both their teenage daughter as well as for Augie, who naturally soaks up most of the attention.
I have given this book to a fifth grader, who devoured it. I've given it to a junior in high school, who devoured it. I cannot wait until the next RJ Palacio book comes out.
Well, I have to admit, it's an easy one: you will fall in love with the main character, Augie, an extremely ugly duckling who will never turn into a swan. You love him for the strides he boldly takes in a world that idealizes beauty.
Having said that, I also fell in love with Augie's sister, his wise principal, and all the friends who love him from the start--and those who learn the true meaning of beauty at the end.
I laughed a lot in this book. Palacio "gets" fifth graders and teens. I never cried, but I do recall a few times when I had that smile on my face, the one that's just before you cry because you're happy.
Buy this book. Give it to your friends. Give it to your parents. Give it to your siblings. Give it to you mailman. This is a wonderful, wonderful book! It's about a fifth grader--but this is a book for every age.
My taste differs from kid books to gory horror books.
Another fantastic book in the kid's section. Palacio handles a tough topic in a beautiful and wonderful way. Beauty is subjective and changes with the latest fad. Of all deformities, one to the face, which can not be hidden has to be the worst. August is a brave soul, with little choice and must learn to deal with his face and how others react. Get your hanky ready, you will need it. I liked this from the beginning, it is always entertaining, but I really did not feel invested until four hours in. It was a five star listen up to four hours, it just got goosed up a bit in the middle and stayed that way to the end. Don't scoff at the junior high war, I was the center of one in my eight grade year It changed my outlook on life and people for the rest of my life.
It was not until after listening and getting ready to write this review that I realized some people had trouble with the narration. August had a gruff sounding voice, done by a woman, but I just figured it was the result of his deformities and surgeries. A girl does the boy voice in Room and a girl does Bart Simpson. Women doing young boy voices is fairly common.
Besides incessant listening to audiobooks, I also read on my Kindle at night, birdwatch, garden (roses, daylilies), and do genealogy.
"A wonderful story for all ages!"
Firstly, I'd like to address the narration. It seems a few readers were very put off by the female rendition of Augie s voice. At first, it seemed to me like an odd choice. However, as the book progressed, I got accustomed to it. I took into account that Augie had multiple facial deformities, including a cleft palate that was not yet completely repaired. He was also very small for his age. Under any circumstances, his speech/voice would have been somewhat odd and not entirely normal. I came to look forward to his chapters and listening to him narrate. So, for me, it was a positive, and I really enjoyed the narrator's interpretation of his voice.
As for the story, I loved everything about it. I really miss it now that I am done and keep wishing there was more. I actually miss Augie! This is a book that can be enjoyed by all ages; it is not just for middle school kids. I really liked hearing the viewpoints of the different characters and felt the author was successful in giving them each their own chapters. This book has so many good messages and it should go a long way in fostering understanding and tolerance of differences. It would be wonderful if it was required reading for preteen students. It brought smiles to my face and tears to my eyes and it had a very feel-good ending that I think was realistic and believable.
A highly recommended informative and fun listen!
Tangential, eclectic, avid listener... favorite book is the one currently in ear.
"Excellent way to teach differences... and sameness"
As an adult who works extensively with developmentally and physically disabled children and adults... I applaud this book. Simply but beautifully told account of Auggie, who with his facial anomalies leaves the cocoon of homeschooling to attend 5th grade. Well rounded point of views help the reader to understand how this disability affects friends, siblings, parents and teachers. Uplifting, clean read with a few sad spots and some really funny parts too. Nicely done!
"A Beautiful Story"
This is a beautiful story. An amazing story for any youth to read. It could also teach a lot of adults a thing or two about empathy as well.
I really like how a boy so 'ugly', could spread so much joy and love. Amazing overall.
However, I must say that the choice to have the boy's voice read in a raspy whisper was an absolutely TERRIBLE choice. Why wouldn't they just use a normal young sounding male? It was extremely annoying, and it made him sound like a whiny baby. The writing wasn't bad at all, but the narration was just dreadful.
Kate Rudd was amazing as always, and she saved the entire book for me. 5 star for her. 1 star for the other. 3 star overall.

"Everyone deserves a standing ovation at least once"
This book warmed my heart. Auggie's character is honest and loveable, showing courage and perception well beyond his years. Wonder develops through the viewpoints of multiple characters - each captured through a unique and fitting voice - adding depth and personality to a beautifully written story of family, friendship, acceptance, and the never-ending struggle to fit in.

"Well-written YA Fiction hurt by flawed narration"
Wonder is a story that all middle school children should be reading. As an elementary teacher, I can tell you that it doesn't do justice to the occasional savagery of young adults, but it's still a close enough approximation to be a valuable tale.
The trouble with this recording is the narrator who performs the role of August. August is in many ways a naive and overprotected character, but the narrator's vocal presentation is not nuanced and represents him as more infantile than I understood him to be. Indeed, I'm not sure this male role should have been performed by a woman: I found her attempt at a prepubescent male child's voice to be grating and unpleasant to listen to. The narrator who performed Jack's character was much more believable as a city kid; indeed, all the other character performances (some of which may have been performed by the same narrator who performs as August, but using a different voice, thankfully) were excellent. If you can tolerate this troublesome character representation, then you'll enjoy this book. I gritted my teeth and plowed through the initial sections until the narrators switched, and I'm glad I did---the story's worth reading to its conclusion.
My only complaint: the cartoonish narration detracted from this otherwise sublime and poignant story. A wonderful book– one that everyone should read.
"And adults can like it too!"
I was prepared for another "kid bullied, kid triumphs" kind of story. This was much more nuanced. Auggie brings out the best in those who are open to it, while those who aren't become ever more isolated and stuck. Love wins.
The performance kept my attention.
The intonation of the mother was sometimes too patronizing or condescending. The sister was dead on. Auggies voice reflects impairment, but could become too grating in long spells. None of it was enough to keep me from recommending the book in any form to many friends. Thinking about making it a reading project for my confirmation class!
I am a middle school reading teacher who loves to show students the wonder and joy of reading.
"LOVE this BOOK"
I have only listened to this book so I cannot judge but the audio book was fabulous.
August of course. What a courageous soul. He makes you want to do better for others.
I love when his classmates come to his rescue in the woods. That was a very powerful moment.
August the boy who taught others to be humane.
Super book for girls and boys. My reluctant reader of a nephew (13) read the book and loved it. It has something for everyone and gives you great perspective.

Hi Bella
Pretty yes, but very damaging as you've shown. Not too many trees, or wires for that matter can take the excessive weight of heavy ice.
We've never experienced this devastation but a few years ago Quebec was hit very hard.

I feel for you. We had a horrible ice storm four winters ago and lost so many large oak trees and had damge to our property. Ice only looks great in a pretty picture, in a glass of ice tea, or something stronger, which after that you all could use.
Thank God for the invention of the generator.

Benefits cheat Hayley Walklate claimed over £5,000 more than she was due after failing to notify Wiltshire Council that she had an income.
Between December 2011 and October 2012, the council overpaid Walklate, of Richards Close, Royal Wootton Bassett, with £4,150.90 in Housing Benefit and £1,385.54 Council Tax Benefit.
Walklate failed to attend interviews arranged by Wiltshire Council's investigation team, and when she then failed to attend a summons to court on July 7 a warrant for her arrest was then issued.
She finally appeared in Swindon Magistrates' Court on August 4, when she pleaded guilty to dishonestly failing to notify a change of circumstances, namely that she was in receipt of undeclared monies which she knew would affect her entitlement to Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit.
As well as having to repay the total overpaid amount of benefits, Walklate was given a 12-month community order with 70 hours of unpaid work.
She was also ordered to pay costs of £350 and a victim surcharge of £60.
A Wiltshire Council spokesman said: "The council is very keen to stamp out fraud and will take action against those found to be cheating the system.
"If you have any information that can help catch a cheat, call Wiltshire Council's confidential hotline on 01249 706256 or the National Fraud Hotline on 0800 854440.
"Fraud can also be reported on the council's website, www.wiltshire.gov.uk/benefitfraud.
"You do not have to give your name and you can be assured of complete confidentiality at all times."
They also reiterated that it is always the responsibility of the person claiming benefit to tell the council of any changes in circumstances which may affect their entitlement.
If there is any doubt, then the Revenues and Benefits Team can discuss any issues.
Call 0300 456 0110 to report any changes in circumstances or ask for advice.

Topic: Omega 3 Fatty Acids Inhibit Growth of Liver(and CC) Cancer Cells
I found this article on the UPMC(University of Pittsburgh Medical Center) web site. This is research presently being done that is showing that Omega 3 Fatty Acids can inhibit the growth of liver and cholangiocarcinoma cancer cells and decrease the level of beta-catenin which has been linked to tumor development. Just go to their website and plug in cholangiocarcinoma in the top search box. This study and other info will come up. My husband is starting on flax oil and fish oil capsules tomorrow.

Labyrinthitis is swelling and irritation in the inner ear. It occurs in the labyrinth of the ear, usually effecting the nerve. This is a system of cavities and canals. They effect hearing, balance, and eye movement.
Labyrinthitis is caused by damage or impairment of the labyrinth part of the cochlea from:
Factors that may increase your chances of labyrinthitis include:
The symptoms can range from mild to severe and last for days or many weeks. Symptoms are usually temporary, but rarely, can become permanent.
The most common symptoms are:
Other symptoms may include:
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You may also need an ear and/or a neurological exam.
This can be done with:
Images help evaluate the ears or other structues. This can be done with:
Your eyes may also be tested. This can be done with an electronystagmogram.
Treatment may include:
Medication to control the symptoms, including:
Note: Without antibiotic treatment, labyrinthitis caused by a bacterial infection can lead to permanent hearing loss or balance problems.
Some steps to help you manage your symptoms include:
Your doctor may suggest specific vestibular exercises. These exercises use a series of eye, head, and body movements to get the body used to moving without the sensation of spinning. You may work with a physical therapist to learn these.
In some cases, nausea and vomiting cannot be controlled. This can result in severe dehydration. You may need hospitalization to receive fluids and nutrients through an IV. You may also need antiemetic medication.

ABERDEEN, Miss., - In the opener of the 2009 season it took two overtimes to decide the outcome of Columbus and Aberdeen.
This year's rematch would also go down as an instant classic as the Falcons defensive heroics were again enough to hold off Aberdeen 8-6 and give first year head coach Tony Stanford the victory in his debut.
"It's so important for our program," Stanford said. "We've struggled over the last couple of years winning some so we need to get as much confidence as we can. Our kids don't have a lot (of confidence) but wins is the only way you can get it and we'll take them any way we can get them. It was sweet."
The two teams were locked in a scoreless stalemate for three quarters but the Columbus defense stood strong on a two-point conversion after the Bulldogs answered the Falcons go-ahead touchdown early in the fourth quarter.
Columbus held the Bulldogs to just 13 passing yards and forced four turnovers on the evening.
"The defense played well all night," Stanford said. "They bent but they never did break."
The Falcons offense finished with 243 total yards with 155 yards through the air and added another 88 on the ground.
Columbus lost junior starting quarterback Cedric Jackson for several weeks following a high ankle sprain in the jamboree but all was not lost. Randy Brown filled in adequately behind center completing 12-of-21 passing for 155 yards and one touchdown and also led the Falcons ground game with 33 yards on 18 attempts.
"Offensively we were hurting some," Stanford said. "We lost our quarterback last week in the jamboree. I thought Randy Brown did a heck of a job a quarterback for us. We turned around and lost our top running back in (Damian) Baker and ended up with a sophomore running back in there, Quan Latham, and I thought he did a pretty good job too."
Deontae Jones led the Falcon receiving corps with six catches for 101 yards and also added four rushes for 30 yards.
"I thought Deontae Jones did a greet job running the speed sweep for us which opened up some stuff for us in the passing game too," Stanford said.
Columbus' offense busted out of the gate strong taking the opening possession down to the AHS 14-yard line but fizzled from there. Michael Sturdivant came on to try a 31-yard field goal but the kick ended up well short of its intended destination.
The game would remain scoreless over the next three quarters until the first possession of the fourth when the Falcons offense finally broke the big play. Brown took the shotgun snap and heaved a pass to a wide open Demarcus Vancy down the left sideline for a 45-yard score.
"We'd seen it early and thought that we had the wheel route," Stanford said. "They were all biting hard on the slant and we hit the wheel route down the sideline."
Columbus elected to go for two and Brown hooked up with Jones to go up 8-0 with just over 10 minutes remaining.
But the Bulldogs answered right back with a 56-yard kickoff return by Brandon Smith down to the CHS 18-yard line. Two plays later Aberdeen was on the board when quarterback Desmond Jones spun his way through defenders for a 16-yard touchdown.
The Bulldog attempted the two-point conversion to tie the score but Jones' pass was picked off on the goal line by Jabari Edwards preserving Columbus' lead.
The defending Class 3A North State Champions had one final shot at the win and were marching with a seven-play drive down to midfield but Jones fumbled and the ball was alertly jumped on by Chris Richardson of the Falcons, who ran out the remaining clock.
Aberdeen finished the night with 205 total yards with 192 coming via the ground game. Jones finished with 98 yards on 14 attempts and a touchdown but completed just 2-of-10 passing for 13 yards and an interception.
"I think we had four offensive turnovers and drove the ball deep two or three times and didn't get it in," said Aberdeen head coach Chris Duncan. "I'll be honest, we just ran out of steam. We had one running back and wound up having to play a ninth grader a little bit. I think if we would have had (Smith along with Victor Hodges) we would have had a better shot."
Smith had 17 carries for 67 yards but the slated starter Hodge missed the game due to suspension.
Patrick Lockett was the Bulldogs leading receiver with one catch for 12 yards.
Bulldog standout junior Channing Ward finished the game with 22 tackles, a half sack and a pass deflection.
Despite coming up on the losing end Duncan was pleased with his team's effort against the much larger opponent and feels it will only help his squad later in the season.
"Most 3A schools won't play a 6A school," Duncan said. "It makes us better and when we get on down the road we feel like we will be in good shape just like we were last year. We feel like we came out and played them well and we did. I think we are going to be fine."

As Evann Gastaldo reports in Newser, a lost Mary Pickford film has been found in a barn.
We really shouldn't be too surprised by this; a whole batch of supposedly lost African-American films were found in the a warehouse in the 1985, and thus saved from destruction; lost segments from Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927) were found recently; and not so long ago, the original negative for Carl Th. Dreyer's masterpiece The Passion of Joan of Arc (1927) was found in the closet of a mental institution! So "lost" films keep turning up all the time, and I'm still holding out hope for the missing 45 minutes from Orson Welles' The Magnificent Ambersons (1942); indeed, Welles' "lost" film Too Much Johnson (1938), a mere trifle, but interesting nonetheless, surfaced only a few months ago.
So the news that a "lost" Mary Pickford film, and a key one in her career, at that, has been found in abandoned farm building slated for destruction is welcome news – and another reminder of how important artifacts of film history keep popping up in the most unlikely places. Actually, the film was found seven years ago, but it took this long to restore it, because, as you'll read below, it wasn't even stored in a film can!
As Gastaldo reports, "Just before tearing down an old barn in New Hampshire, a contractor did one last check and discovered a treasure: seven reels of film that he donated to the Keene State College Film Archives, reports the college. It has since determined that at least four of those films were ones thought to have been lost. One of those, Their First Misunderstanding, is the 1911 silent short film that features silent movie star Mary Pickford appearing in her first credited role. Prior to that, Pickford, then 18, had been known only as 'Little Mary' in films. The Library of Congress is funding the film's restoration (it hadn't even been stored in a can), and it will be screened at the New Hampshire college on Oct. 11.
'It's a big deal,' says a Pickford scholar of the film's discovery. Another expert says the movie 'fills an important gap,' because Pickford had a "short-lived association" with Carl Laemmle's Independent Moving Picture Co. Their First Misunderstanding was the first movie she made for IMP. It's about a newlywed couple's first fight, and also stars Pickford's then-husband Owen Moore, the Los Angeles Times reports. The nitrate reel was stuck to another, and had to be carefully separated. Though there are slight 'jumps in action,' the Pickford expert says 'no significant amount of footage' was lost."

Rejuvenated entertainment retailer Blockbuster is to embark on a promotional blitz this bank holiday weekend to properly mark its High Street comeback.
Deals include the chance for shoppers to rent any new movie release for one night for £1.99.
The chain has also confirmed that it will shortly begin stocking music, books and "ancillary items" of some description.
"We are absolutely focused on building Blockbuster to be a long-term proposition," Blockbuster MD Gary Warren stated. "There is a very real gap in the market for an entertainment specialist and, with its strong brand recognition and heritage, Blockbuster is perfectly placed to capitalise on this.
"We are committed to supporting all of our 264 stores and hope to eventually grow the business and create jobs in the local area."
Blockbuster was saved from administration last month after Gordon Brothers Europe moved to save some 2,000 jobs.

- With the draw, the Galaxy are now 9-2-9 on the season, leaving them with a league-best 35 points. LA remain in first place in the Western Conference and are now two points ahead of second place FC Dallas, who defeated Columbus 2-0 on Saturday. They are now 10-4-4 on the season for 34 points.
- This was the Galaxy's first-ever 0-0 draw on July 4.
- The Galaxy now have four 0-0 draws this season, including in each of their last two games. The four scoreless draws are a new single season record for the Galaxy.
- Prior to their last two games, the Galaxy had never had back-to-back scoreless draws.
- The Galaxy are now unbeaten in their last 11 games, going 5-0-6 in those contests for 21 of a possible 33 points.
- The 11-game unbeaten streak is the fifth longest in Galaxy history. They are the only club in MLS history with six unbeaten streaks of 10 games or more.
- The Galaxy's nine draws this season are tied for the third most in club history. They set a club record with 12 ties in 2009 and had nine in 2003 and 2008.
- Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena made four changes to the team that drew 0-0 with San Jose at Buck Shaw Stadium on June 25. Brian Perk made his first start of the year in goal while Chad Barrett, Landon Donovan and Sean Franklin all returned to the starting lineup. Perk replaced the injured Donovan Ricketts while Franklin replaced Gregg Berhalter, Donovan replaced Michael Stephens and Barrett replaced Miguel Lopez. Stephens missed the game after suffering a right ankle sprain in training on Saturday while Berhalter and Lopez each began the game on the bench.
- In addition to Ricketts and Stephens, the Galaxy were also without Sean Alvarado and Leonardo who are each recovering from knee surgery as well as Frankie Hejduk, who has inflammation in his right ankle.
- With Ricketts injured and Josh Saunders suspended, the Galaxy called up Kevin Guppy to serve as their reserve goalkeeper.
- After missing the last two games with back spasms, David Beckham returned to the 18-man squad and entered the game in the 68th minute, replacing Mike Magee.
- Landon Donovan made his first appearance with the Galaxy since the 1-0 win in New England on May 28. He had missed the last four games while on international duty with the U.S. National Team. The Galaxy were 1-0-3 in those four games.
- Donovan once again wore the captain's armband for the Galaxy, giving them their fourth captain in as many games. David Beckham was LA's captain on June 11 against Toronto before being injured. Todd Dunivant then served as the Galaxy captain on June 18 against the Rapids while Gregg Berhalter took the armband for the draw in San Jose on June 25.
- In addition to making his first start of the season, Brian Perk was making the first appearance in an MLS game. Perk had been an unused substitute seven times this season for the Galaxy but he had never entered a league game.
- Perk kept the game scoreless by stopping a Fredy Montero penalty kick in the 17th minute. Montero is now 0-for-2 in his MLS career on penalty kicks.
- That save was Perk's first of the game and the first of his MLS career. It was also the only.
- Prior to Perk's penalty save, the last Galaxy goalkeeper to save a penalty in an MLS regular season game was Donovan Ricketts, who stopped a Juan Pablo Angel penalty in LA's 3-1 win over New York at Giants Stadium on July 16, 2009.
- Perk is just the second goalkeeper in MLS history to record the first save of his MLS career on a penalty kick. The other was Miami's Matt Napolean who stopped a Paul Rideout penalty on August 23, 1998 in the Fusion's 2-0 loss at Kansas City.
- A.J. DeLaGarza was forced to leave the game in the 24th minute. He was caught in the face by a high boot from Fredy Montero in the 13th minute but continued to play until he was forced to leave for precautionary reasons. He was checked by Galaxy doctors in the locker room after exiting the match. He was replaced by Gregg Berhalter.
- After not making any first half substitutions in any of their first 18 games this season, the Galaxy have now been forced to make one in each of the last two games.
- DeLaGarza's partner in central defense Omar Gonzalez was also forced to leave the game with an injury, suffering a left hip pointer. He was replace by Bryan Jordan with Sean Franklin moving to central defense and Jordan playing right back.
- Prior to tonight's game, the Galaxy had been forced to substitute a center back just once all year with Berhalter replacing DeLaGarza late in the 3-1 win at Colorado on June 18. In tonight's game, they had to replace both center backs. DeLaGarza and Gonzalez started the game there while Berhalter and Franklin finished it.
- Todd Dunivant once again started and played the full 90 minutes at left back. He is the only Galaxy player to start every game this season and is the only one to play the full 90 minutes in each as well.
- Sean Franklin and Chad Barrett each started the game as well. They join Dunivant as the only three Galaxy players to have each appeared in all 20 of LA's games this season.
- Perk finished the game with two saves to keep a clean sheet. He is the first Galaxy goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet in his debut for the club since Donovan Ricketts did so in 2009.
- The draw snapped the Galaxy's five-game winning streak against the Sounders in MLS competition. LA last dropped points to the Sounders on August 15, 2009 in a 2-0 Seattle win at The Home Depot Center. That is the only time that the Sounders have ever beaten the Galaxy in MLS.
- This was the second straight season in which the Galaxy and Sounders met on July 4 with the Galaxy winning 3-1 last season.
- The Galaxy are now 9-4-3 on the Fourth of July and 5-1-3 on the day at The Home Depot Center. Their last draw on July 4 was in 2005, a 1-1 draw with New England.
- The attendance for tonight's game was a sellout crowd of 27,000. This was the Galaxy's third sellout in nine home games this season.
- The Galaxy are back in action on Saturday, July 9 when they host the Chicago Fire at The Home Depot Center. That game, which kicks off at 7:30 p.m. (PT), can be seen live on FOX Soccer, starting with the Soccer Night in America pregame show at 7 p.m.
LA Galaxy Head Coach Bruce Arena
On the result:
"I think the final score is a fair result. That was a game that was pretty even. I would have liked the chance to make a couple of other substitutions in the second half, but obviously we had to make changes to the center backs that's difficult. The first change to A.J. [DeLaGarza] was going to have us hampered in the second half. The issue with Omar [Gonzalez], that was difficult. Having said that, I think [Brian] Perk did very well for his first game in the league. I think the adjustments our team made losing two center backs was pretty good, but certainly the best chance out of the run of play was [Juan Pablo] Angel's and obviously the chance in the game was the penalty kick. Having said all that, I think it was a fair result at the end of the game. I give Perk a lot of credit in his first game. I don't think he was tested a whole lot, but a penalty kick is as much as a test as you are ever going to face. A lot of credit to Brian."
On playing Seattle:
"It was two teams that were obviously well schooled on each other. It can't be a sloppy game. It can't be a game where you lose concentration… you get sloppy, you give up chances. We made a couple of mistakes in the first half and we were fortunate to get out of it. We had a great chance with Angel. It's one of those games. It's a one play game. It's a 1-0 game one way or the other."
On Brian Perk's first game:
"It's nice to know he can play. We have three great goalkeepers. Perk we've had for about a year and we could see as he got some reserve games his confidence grew, he got the experience that he needed. I think tonight he looked like a guy that's played. He's an experienced player at the youth level. He's played in international competition. We didn't throw a player into the game that's going to run around like his head is chopped off. I think the game he got last week in Open Cup was good for him and obviously, playing tonight at home makes it a little easier for him. All I can say he's a keeper we can put in there and be successful."
LA Galaxy Midfielder Landon Donovan
On the result:
"It was a weird game. It's not often that you start a game with one of your DP's on the bench, your third string goalie and within a half hour you have to take off one of your center backs. It was a weird game, but given all of that, I was really proud of the adjustments that we made, the effort was good, we just weren't sharp. All in all I think that we're actually pretty proud of the performance we put in given everything that happened tonight."
On his team's attacking play:
"Seattle did a really good job of pressing us. There were a few times particularly at the end of the first half and at the start of the second half where we did a good job of passing and getting out of pressure, but for the most part they came after us and we had to be a little bit more direct than we usually are."
On the play of Brian Perk:
"He did great. Obviously the penalty was a great save at a really important time of the game. He didn't really put a foot wrong. A few of his kicks were a bit astray but he was good, he was aggressive and smart. It kind of epitomizes what this team is about. I'm pretty confident in saying that there isn't another team that could have their third string goalie playing against maybe the hottest team in the league right now and come away with a shutout."
LA Galaxy Goalkeeper Brian Perk
On his penalty kick save:
I just looked at him (Sounders forward Fredy Montero). I thought he was a crafty player, so I'd thought he'd open his hips and close them. And, that's exactly what he did. I guessed the right way. I was very fortunate, but it worked out. I'd seen him play before and I thought he was crafty player and tried to show me one way and go another and that's what he did. And lucky I guessed the right way."
On what he learned after his first start:
"I learned that I was a little nervous, but after the first 5, 10 minutes I felt pretty good. There's a lot of things I need to work on, but for the most part it was pretty solid."
On the result:
"0-0 is not the best result for your team, I mean, I think three points is what we deserved, but we didn't give up a goal and that's a credit to our back line. We don't concede many goals. Whether it's me, (Josh) Saunders or (Donovan) Ricketts, it seems like we're always giving zero or one goal. When Omar (Gonzalez) went down I was thinking, maybe we should take the draw, 0-0 is not the worst result with both our center backs down."
LA Galaxy Midfielder David Beckham
On returning to action:
"I've been out for three weeks; haven't been able to do anything for three weeks. So, it's good to be able to be back out there again, of course. Obviously I've got a week until the next game so it's going to be a good week."
On if he expected to play tonight:
"I didn't expect to play in this game. I've had an epidural and a cortisone injection last week and seemed to react well and took the pain away. Obviously the fracture is still there, but the pain's died down a bit."
LA Galaxy Defender Omar Gonzalez
On his injury:
"(It happened) at midfield when I got undercut by (Roger) Levesque and landed straight on my hip. After that I couldn't really run at all. I tried to move, but I just couldn't."
On the penalty kick:
"I wasn't worried about it, I knew Perk was going to come up big. So, right after it happened, I walked over to my spot and got ready to chase after the ball and I'm the one who cleared it off the line."
Seattle Sounders FC Head Coach Sigi Schmid
On tonight's game:
"It was an exciting game, obviously there were a couple of things that could have influenced the game. Kasey Keller makes a big save at the end there on [Juan Pablo] Angel, Freddy Montero misses a penalty kick. Those are key plays that could change the game."
On the team's performance:
"I thought we did alright. I thought the first half was good for us. I thought the second half there was a period of time where they definitely controlled the game. I felt there was about 15 minutes in the second half where we didn't get a hold of the ball and they kept putting pressure on us. At the end of the game I thought we did alright and we got ourselves back in the game and then when [David] Beckham came on there seemed to be a lot of free kicks happening in midfield. Maybe there is a rule where he has to get six or seven free kicks a game."
On Brian Perk:
"I though we made him work at times. I thought Tyson Wahl's cross was something that made him work. Brad Evans almost caught him off his line the one time we saw him off his line to hit it. I thought we forced some back passes to him and he gave a couple of balls away there, popped a couple of balls up. Obviously he came up with a big save on the PK. He did well but you can always make a goalkeeper work more."
Seattle Sounders FC Forward Fredy Montero
(Translated from Spanish)
On the penalty kick:
"I tried shooting it close to the post but I shot it short and he guessed right and blocked it. That's the end of the story."
On the result:
"It's always good to tie on the road. It's a different story whether we did good or bad but it's always good to tie away."
Seattle Sounders FC Goalkeeper Kasey Keller
On the team's performance:
"Sure we could have gotten more out of it. They had some good chances as well. Yeah it's frustrating, not frustrating in a bad way but it's much better than how we have played them the last three or four times so on that side we feel good. They are a good team. They have the most points in the league. There is a reason for that and we came here and gave them a good game."
On Brian Perk:
"When you save a penalty on your debut it's not a bad thing to do. He got a clean sheet and saved a penalty. He'll have a lot to build on. It's going to make some interesting decisions for the next game. That is always what you want to do. You need to take advantage of the opportunities that you get in goal because you don't know how many you are going to get and when you do the coaching staff says 'Alright he can play, he got a result for us and came up with a big save.' Maybe it's not his time right now but it gets banked in the archives. Alright you did it for us this time maybe someone is out of form or maybe someone gets injured and you think alright we got someone that can do it."

The spirit of the Buddhist precepts is certainly about non-harm, and I agree that obsession with the rules - the letter of the law - is completely missing the point. It's a bit like the difference between tax evasion and tax avoidance.

First I talk of safety. I mention old furnaces and CO possibilities, etc. This will usually make them sour up a bit because it is slightly a sales pitch.

SHEPHERDSVILLE - Bullitt County Judge/Executive Melanie Roberts envisions a parks board with a director with that agency absorbing the responsibilities of the current parks and recreation department.
However, with much confusion between that intent and the wording of the county's parks ordinance, members of the Bullitt County Ethics Commission could not make a recommendation on a proposed hiring.
