For over a dozen years Uce Car Club has been racking up awards and earning respect from fellow car enthusiasts. A tight family atmosphere and solidarity is showcased in every Uce custom vehicle that has graced the pages of Lowrider magazine. Eddie Cardenas, a 28-year-old from Deltona, Florida, grew up respecting Uce Car Club and what it stands for. As a family man raising two children with his wife, Laura, Eddie started building cars in his garage. Without taking that leap to show car quality, he bought an '84 Buick Regal from his wife's friend. The gutted Buick set Eddie back $500 and "Mi Gusto" began.
The next couple of years proved difficult because Eddie worked day and night trying to construct a head turner. He started out with reinforcements, making sure all the stress points were secure. Still, in his garage, Eddie began his complete two-pump Red's hydraulic setup. Having no previous experience, Eddie brought the Buick to John Bianco from Elite Customs in Deland, Florida. John sprayed House of Kolor Brandywine over a Tangerine and Magenta basecoat and then added pinstriping to the entire frame to maintain a pure lowrider look.
Back in his garage, Eddie removed the original motor, which he rebuilt by hand, and chrome-plated all the pulleys and brackets. The remaining engine parts were all coated using the exterior colors. Inside Eddie manufactured a custom center console out of fiberglass and painted it to match. The doors were removed and a fiberglass casing was added to each side with tweed cutouts in the center. The dashboard and seat inserts were wrapped in the same burgundy tweed. In the trunk, Eddie wrapped the hydraulic setup with a vinyl cover and added a Kicker subwoofer enclosure in the center with an amp rack wrapped in tweed.
Mi Gusto literally translates to "my flavor," and with the amount of candy colors and creativeness, Eddie has definitely created his own taste. "I need to thank my loving family for putting up with my passion," he says. "And a special thanks to my wife for understanding my hobby." Belonging to a car club with people who are there for him at all times, and a loving wife with their two beautiful children, Eddie had no choice but to create a masterpiece. "As long as my son stays out of trouble and keeps his grades up, I'll exchange Mi Gusto for my son's high school diploma," Eddie says. With that kind of reward his son, Eddie Jr., will no doubt carry on the lowrider pride in the Uce family.
Mi GustoOwner: Eddie CardenasVehicle: '84 Buick RegalCity/State: Deltona, FloridaClub: Uce Car Club
Engine/Drivetrain: This stock, 350-cid engine was hooked up with chrome accents, valve covers, air cleaners, an alternator, brackets, and pulleys.
Body/Paint: The Buick was coated with House of Kolor Candy Brandywine paint over a rich combination of Tangerine and Magenta basecoat by John Bianco of Elite Customs. The pinstriping was laid down throughout the entire body and murals were done to the doorjambs as an added touch.
Interior: The entire cabin is laid out in beige and burgundy. The seats are wrapped in beige vinyl and burgundy tweed inserts, the dashboard is covered in burgundy tweed, and the doors are done in a beige and burgundy combination. Everything was done by Doug at Complete Auto Interior, in Zellwood, Florida. Eddie built a custom fiberglass center console that's mounted between the seats.
Sound System: An Alpine head unit was added to power the eclectic array of Kicker subwoofers built in a custom enclosure in the trunk and O2 mids and highs mounted along the inside. Two Kicker amps allow the beat to pound from the trunk and two Mobile 5-inch monitors were added to the headrests.
Setup: The hydraulic setup was done by Eddie. It incorporates two Red's pumps and two Italian dumps, with 8-inch cylinders in the front and 10-inch cylinders in the rear. A five-switch panel was mounted to the dashboard and run to four Delco Marine batteries. The entire setup is hidden from visibility to clean up the trunk.
Tires: Mohave 155/80R13 steel-belted radials
Wheels: 13-inch G-Boyz 100-spoke wheels airbrushed and painted Candy Brandywine by Mark, a Uce Car Club member.

De-Lovely (2004)
Cole Porter: Isn't that Linda Lee Thomas with Sara?
Gerald Murphy: I don't know.
Cole Porter: It is, just as they described, the most beautiful divorcée in Paris. My God, she's ravishing.
Gerald Murphy: Is this going to be another Cole Porter obsession without preliminaries?
Cole Porter: Obsessions don't have preliminaries.
Cole Porter: What is discretion but dishonesty dressed up in a little good breeding?
Monty Woolley: Cole, he's only an actor but he still may be right. He's tried it 7 times already, the song's a problem.
Cole Porter: The song is not a problem, it's a challenge. Jack! Jack my boy, how can I help you? Ask me anything.
Jack: Write another song.
Cole Porter: Oh God, that cuts me right to the quick. I know it's God awful but it's the best I can do and we open in three days.
Jack: Where do you get your ideas?
Cole Porter: I get them all from a little Chinese man in Poughkeepsie.
Jack: Mr Porter, the song goes so high and so low it's impossible.
Cole Porter: It's not impossible. I wrote this with you in mind, I can sing it and I have a range of three notes.
Cole Porter: I'm worried about you.
Linda Porter: You don't need to worry about me or your show. It's all taken care of. I'm in God's hands, the show's in yours. I do wish it were the other way around.
Linda Porter: What's that?
Cole Porter: An idea for a song. I think this part would go well with I love you. What do you think?
Linda Porter: I think that would be beautiful.
Cole Porter: I do you know.
Linda Porter: You don't have to love me the way I love you Cole, just love me.
Cole Porter: It's so easy.
Linda Porter: You knew so much about me when we met, don't you think I'd heard a thing or two about you?
Cole Porter: So you know that I... that I have other interests... interests some may see as unfair to you?
Linda Porter: You mean men?
Cole Porter: Yes, men.
Linda Porter: Let's just say you like them more than I do.
Cole Porter: If I can survive this movie, I can survive anything.
Gerald Murphy: She said we live in castles that are made of sand.
Gabe: Never open with a ballad, and never end on one.
Cole Porter: An unmanned piano!
Cole Porter: I'm making such a mess trying to say this, I'm glad I'm not trying to write it as a song.
Linda Porter: It would be a beautiful serenade.
Cole Porter: Champagne? Or how do you want to play this? Comedy? Tragedy? Musical Comedy? Farce?
Linda Porter: Why don't we just... play?
Cole Porter: [dressed as Caesar at a costume party] I'm being hailed.
Cole Porter: I think we define "woman" differently. I don't define it as "punching bag", for example.
Cole Porter: Miss Morrison. The line is "away we go" not "off we go", dear. You couldn't manage to make me hear you before and now that I can hear you, you've got it wrong.
Linda Porter: I'm so sorry darling. I know how late I must be.
Cole Porter: Late? Linda you missed the whole thing.
Linda Porter: This is something new. To be inconsiderate, to ignore your obligations.
Cole Porter: You can sing this. The problem is you're not having any fun.
Linda Porter: Thank you dearest.
Cole Porter: For what?
Linda Porter: For all of this. For our future. For being with me with Edward just now.
Cole Porter: That? That was just pest control. That's all.
Linda Porter: Your song was absolutely delirious.
Cole Porter: Thank you. I'm never quite sure if they get the joke, especially when it's on them.
Linda Porter: You should learn to trust your audience.
Cole Porter: I trust it. I just wish I could expand it.
Linda Porter: They love your song.
Cole Porter: Don't you?
Cole Porter: We couldn't hear songs the same way anymore. The words sounded like code.
Cole Porter: Monty! I didn't recognize you under all that hair!
Monty Woolley: We've all changed since school. At Yale the only grooms who interested you were in the stables.
Cole Porter: I don't want to fight.
Linda Porter: I don't want to fight and I don't want to blame. But if things are going to be... different. I'd like to know.
Cole Porter: I'll tell you as soon as I know.
Cole Porter: Good catch!
Linda Porter: I always thought so.
Sara Murphy: Cole, I know this is your song but it doesn't sound like you.
Cole Porter: Linda thinks it does.
Sara Murphy: You should put it in the new show you're working on.
[Cole shakes his head]
Sara Murphy: Why not?
Cole Porter: Because it doesn't sound like me.
Cole Porter: I have a little something for you. It's a whole new flower. A gentleman in Spain did it up for me. It's a hybrid of two varieties of rose thought to be completely incompatible yet look at it. It's perfect. The Linda Porter rose.
Linda Porter: Exquisite.
Cole Porter: Just a pale reflection of our life together.
Linda Porter: It wasn't all beautiful.
Linda Porter: A friend Bobby Reed has been to see me with his... nefarious portfolio.
Cole Porter: You were always my life-to-be.
Linda Porter: I remember that song.
Cole Porter: It was about you. They were all about you.
Linda Porter: Not all. But some I hope.
Linda Porter: Where is he?
Cody: You may prefer privacy.
Linda Porter: I would not.
Linda Porter: Is it me?
Gabe: No dear, it's too early for back stairs and love affairs.
Edward Thomas: My invitation didn't arrive.
Linda Porter: I would invite you to hell.
Cole Porter: Two people who wanted too much from each other.
Linda Porter: I admit I am partially responsible for all this because I have encouraged you, I have indulged you, and what for? Just a little music.
Gabe: You loved her then?
Cole Porter: I said the words. I meant them.
Linda Porter: We can be singular as a couple.
Linda Porter: I think a change would be good for us.
Cole Porter: Yes.
Linda Porter: Yes we'll go?
Cole Porter: Yes it would be a big change.
Linda Porter: I had no idea how hot the climate would be, everything grows wild here and the pickings are far too easy.
Cole Porter: I really can't do this song justice. Wait til opening night, hear it sung properly.
Linda Porter: I think it sounds fine now, and I won't be there dear.
Cole Porter: Why not? Why wouldn't you be?
Linda Porter: You know the doctors honey, they're so boring.
Cole Porter: I wrote this for you. What's the point of doing it if you're not going to be there?
Linda Porter: That's why I want you to sing it for me now, all the way through.
Gerald Murphy: Linda must be keeping Cartier in business!
Linda Porter: I'll give this to you now, in case Monty has more producers for you to see.
Linda Porter: You disappointed a lot of people last night.
Linda Porter: Grace personified.
Cole Porter: Was that me? Because I really hadn't planned on sweeping you off your feet for quite a while.
Linda Porter: Here comes trouble.
Linda Porter: We've become such fast friends. I was hoping you might. He'd be a good companion for you.
Cole Porter: Linda?
Linda Porter: I don't want you to be lonely.
Mrs. L.B. Mayer: It's an interesting song. Do you know it?
Linda Porter: Intimately.
Linda Porter: Is everything in Hollywood connected with movies,
Louis B. Mayer: Everything good.
Cole Porter: You see how far I'd go to win you back?
Linda Porter: I think you've gone *too* far this time, but I ought to be used to it by now.
Cole Porter: Non-stop fun.
Cole Porter: You're playing with my life.
Gabe: It's my show.
Cole Porter: Why does Linda come back to Cole?
Linda Porter: Because he's Cary Grant. And she misses the music as do I.
Cole Porter: Did somebody die?
Gerald Murphy: I think it was us Cole.
Cole Porter: And chorus, keep those consonants crisp. We don't want the audience to think you're saying "an annoying opening for an ugly show". They'll come to that conclusion on their own.
Linda Porter: Oh my goodness. Could you be any more wonderful?
Cole Porter: Linda, what were you thinking? You couldn't have lost it.
Linda Porter: I had hoped not.
Cole Porter: What do you mean?
Linda Porter: Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Definitively nothing. Shall we go? I'd hate to compound the felony by making us late for the party, that would be something too hard to b-
[stands up and gasps]
Cole Porter: What's wrong?
Linda Porter: Nothing, it's just a little thing. Not like missing an opening night or a party, just a little thing that... stopped growing.
Cole Porter: Oh, my sweet girl. I'm so sorry.
Linda Porter: Which one's Cole Porter?
Sara Murphy: You see the one standing up, being so serious about being playful? That's my husband Gerald. The one playing and not being serious at all? That's Cole Porter.
Edward Thomas: Don't turn your back on me Mrs Thomas.
Linda Porter: How amusing! As I recall that was the position you most favored.
Linda Porter: Cole's not like you. He creates, you destroy and as you can see you're a failure even at that.
Linda Porter: [her dying words] I don't know how long I can stay. Would you mind terribly if I went a little early?
Cole Porter: I really can't do it justice. Wait until opening night, hear it sung properly.
Linda Porter: I think it sounds fine now. And I won't be there dear.
Cole Porter: What? Why wouldn't you be?
Linda Porter: You know the doctors.
Cole Porter: I wrote this for you. Why play it if you won't be there?
Linda Porter: That's why I want you to play it for me now. All the way through.
Cole Porter: Mr Thomas, you have the most peculiar sense of timing.
Linda Porter: You don't have to love me the way I love you Cole. Just love me.
Cole Porter: That's so easy.
Linda Porter: You knew so much about me when we met Cole, don't you think I'd heard a thing or two about you?
Cole Porter: Then you know that I... that I can be... that I have outside interests the pursuit of which may seem unfair to you?
Linda Porter: You mean men?
Cole Porter: Yes, men.
Linda Porter: Let's just say you like them more than I do.
Cole Porter: There are no little memories with you.
Cole Porter: A few people may have been carried out of my shows but no-one's ever been carried in.
Linda Porter: Ellin says lrving is having a great run in Hollywood. The Gershwins are there...
Cole Porter: You want me to leave at the top of my game?

Photo Gallery: Classic Home Furnishings
Furniture finds from Decorium in Toronto.
Opt for extendable tables that accomodate guests as needed.
The traditionally inspired Flores mahogany collection features a French-waxed finish for a timeless, hand-planed and distressed look. For an exceptionally large gathering, the dining trestle table can extend to 132″.
Lightly distressed white oak looks sophisticated.
Modelled in a traditional elegant style, the Newlyn School collection warms a room with tapered legs and brass pull hardware on the coordinating furniture. Drop down drawers, built-in power outlets and durable dovetailed joints make for a quality design.
Find furniture that maximizes space.
The "Douceur de Vivre" collection — meaning "Sweetness of Life" — is made of primavera and white ash woods. Ornately carved borders, fully-turned legs and serpentine case fronts accentuate the pieces. User-friendly components, such as hidden compartments, generously-sized storage spaces, lift-lid power outlets and an ultra-high headboard showcase the stunning craftsmanship.
Choose furniture that will last as a child gets older.
The Campden collection at Decorium is functional and contemporary. A dark wood finish looks sophisticated but still works for youth. Display books and toys on the night tables' open shelves, or tuck clutter away in the sturdy dresser or chest.
Store your papers and books in an accommodating bookcase.
Wood detailing, beautiful glasswork and refined ribbon-like fabric are all part of the Hampton home office furniture collection. The traditional style is available in a number of pieces to suit your needs.
Find a chair that combines comfort and style.
The Ekornes Stressless Dream, available at Decorium, offers a fresh take on the standard recliner. The chair's Glide system follows your body's every movement to provide the perfect fit. Swivel the chair a full 360 degrees as you need to. The ultimate in comfort and style!
Customize your sofa and select fabrics that coordinate with your decor.
Both sharp and boxy, the Artada sofa imparts comfort and refined style. The combination of plush pillows, thick wood frames and an antique nickel nailhead trim create a versatile seating option.

Your Very Own EmpireLogic Grid puzzles come with a handy interactive grid that will help you solve the puzzle based on the given clues.
You thank the last person as they step outside, "It's been a lovely evening, drive safely!" You wait in the doorway to see them off, waving as the car begins to pull away. Closing the door, you breathe a tired sigh.
You stroll into the living room before it finally hits you. After weeks of discussions and the purchase of a 5-story building downtown, you are finally the proud owner of your very own clothing empire! You've just closed negotiations with 5 designers who have started their own small companies, but haven't been able to hit it big yet. Aside from settling on a salary for each of them, you also agreed to hire the employees they already have. This is indeed a wonderful moment for you! "YES," you yell enthusiastically!
Startled, your cat jumps sideways off the couch, landing on the coffee table and knocking a glass of wine all over your papers. Your delight quickly turns to horror as you realize what your precious (and soon-to-die) tabby has just done. You dash into the kitchen for some napkins but it's too late; half of your papers are already ruined. You can't believe it. You just spent all night sorting out the details, and you would really prefer to not have another 8 hour evening with those crazy designers! Besides, they might try to change their salaries.
With the information you have left, can you figure out what salary you agreed on with each designer, which item they design, how many employees they have, and on which floor of your new building they will be located?
Designers: Aimee, Claude, Darla, Evan, Faye
Items: Purses, Pants, Skirts, Shoes, Tops
Floors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Number of Employees: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Salary: 133k, 138k, 141k, 146k, 152k
1. The salary of the person designing pants is more than Darla, but less than the designer on the 2nd floor.
2. The five unique designers are: Faye, the one designing purses, the one on the 5th floor, the one whose salary is 146k, and the one with 5 employees.
3. Only 15 employees will work above the 3rd floor.
4. The shoe designer does not have the lowest salary, despite having the fewest employees.
5. The sum of the numbers in one designer's salary is also their total number of employees.
6. The salary of the designer on the 3rd floor is 138k.
7. The five different floors are: the floor with 9 employees, the floor of the 133k salary, the floor Aimee is on, the 2nd floor, and the floor where the tops are designed.
8. The designer on the 1st floor has the same number of employees as letters in their name.
9. The purse designer has the most employees, but she doesn't have the highest salary.
10. You remember that Faye really likes purses, but that has nothing to do with this puzzle.
AnswerAimee: Pants, 5th Floor, 8 employees, 141k
Claude: Tops, 1st Floor, 6 employees, 146k
Darla: Purses, 3rd Floor, 9 employees, 138k
Evan: Shoes, 2nd Floor, 5 employees, 152k
Faye: Skirts, 4th Floor, 7 employees, 133k

Detailed Description:
The primary objective of this project is to investigate the effect of statin therapy on cerebral blood flow in patients with aneurysmal SAH who are randomized to receive or not receive statins in a blinded design.
|Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
|Drug: Simvastatin, 80 mg/day for 21 days Drug: placebo
|Phase 1 Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Quadruple (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Effect of Statins on Cerebral Blood Flow After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Resource links provided by NLM:
MedlinePlus related topics: Bleeding Statins
Drug Information available for: SimvastatinU.S. FDA Resources
Further study details as provided by Washington University School of Medicine:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Resting Cerebral Blood Flow During Peak Period of Vasospasm Risk [ Time Frame: 7-10 days after hemorrhage ]Resting cerebral blood flow during peak period of vasospasm risk measured by PET
- Cerebral Autoregulation During Peak Period of Vasospasm Risk [ Time Frame: 7-10 days after hemorrhage ]Fraction of patients with impaired static autoregulation (% change in MAP/% change in CVR) * 100 A value of <60 is considered abnormal.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Impact of Statin on Oxygen Extraction Fraction and Cerebral Metabolism During Peak Period of Vasospasm Risk [ Time Frame: 7-10 days after hemorrhage ]Oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) is the ratio of Oxygen delivery (ml/100 g/min) and oxygen utilization (ml/100 g/min). It describes the fraction of the oxygen that reaches the brain that it actually uses for energy production.
|Study Start Date:
|August 2008
|Study Completion Date:
|December 2013
|Primary Completion Date:
|February 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Simvastatin, 80 mg/day
Simvastatin, 80 mg/day for 21 days
Drug: Simvastatin, 80 mg/day for 21 days
Active treatment group
Other Name: Simvastatin
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Drug: placebo
Control group
Detailed Description:
We will determine if statin therapy improves CBF in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. This improvement, if present, may be due to improved basal CBF, improved autoregulatory function, or a mitigation of large arterial narrowing. The information gain from this study will help us to better understand the mechanism of action of statins. This knowledge may be useful in the design of future studies with statins and in the development of other therapies aimed at similar mechanisms.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:

Our Office of Transportation and Parking Services (TAPS) oversees several alternative transportation services, including:
UC Riverside offers benefits to our employees who elect to carpool to campus. A carpool consists of two or more people sharing a ride in one vehicle. Faculty, staff and full-time graduates are eligible to participate and must travel together at least three days a week for more than 50 percent of their commute. Participants share the cost of a parking permit and TAPS runs an Emergency Ride Home program for emergency situations that require one carpool participant to get right home.
Vanpool Services
Vanpools are formed among groups of commuters who choose to ride together from designated departure sites to the UCR campus. A vanpool must have at least one certified driver and one certified alternate driver. Current vanpools provide transportation to campus Monday through Friday throughout the year from Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside Counties.
Bicycling and Walking Program
Our faculty members who walk to work or hop on their bicycles enjoy health benefits and save money by using an environmentally-friendly mode of commuting. All cyclists and walkers registered in this Alternative Transportation program are eligible for a maximum of 48 complimentary days of parking per year and are eligible to use the shower and locker facilities at the Physical Education building at no cost.
Metrolink Trains and Riverside Transit Agency Buses
Public transportation use saves 1.4 billion gallons of gasoline a year and can reduce household expenses by $6,200 - more than what the average household spends on food in a year. Metrolink is a regional rail that operates service on five regional lines: Ventura County, Antelope Valley, San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange County. Staff and faculty are eligible for a discounted pass program. UCR offers a free shuttle between the Downtown Riverside station and the campus. The Riverside Transit Agency or RTA provides bus service to the UCR community. RTA has a large service area, with four routes that directly service UCR. Faculty and staff also are eligible for a discounted pass.


text: Democratic field for Jay's Senate seat could be large By Eric Eyre January 11, 2013 Story Share Gazette file photo Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va. (center), attends a health-care event in Charleston in 1994 with then-House of Delegates Speaker Chuck Chambers, D-Cabell (left), and then-Gov. Gaston Caperton. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Democratic candidates hoping to fill Jay Rockefeller's U.S. Senate seat must be tenacious campaigners, secure support from state and national party leaders and raise massive amounts of money, political observers said Friday.The winner in the Democratic primary likely would face U.S. Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, the only Republican yet to announce plans to run for the Senate seat in 2014."This is going to be an aggressive and high-finance campaign," said Kanawha County Commission President Kent Carper. "They better have it all. Getting through the primary is going to be a battle royal."The names of numerous potential Democratic candidates were tossed around after Rockefeller announced Friday that he would not seek re-election.At the top of the list: former West Virginia Gov. Gaston Caperton.Caperton, who lives in Charleston, served 13 years as president of the College Board, which administers SAT and AP exams. He was in New York on Friday and declined comment.Caperton said he plans to attend Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's inaugural on Monday and might discuss his plans next week. "If he's interested," Carper said of Caperton, "he would be formidable."Other possible candidates mentioned include:• Carte Goodwin, who was appointed U.S. senator after Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., died in 2010. Goodwin now works as a lawyer in Charleston. His wife, Rocky, is a senior aide to Rockefeller.Goodwin, who declined to run for the Senate seat now held by Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., would not say if he would seek Rockefeller's seat."Today is Senator Rockefeller's day," said Goodwin, who attended Rockefeller's news conference Friday. "While serving in the Senate, I learned firsthand about Senator Rockefeller's passion and dedication. Today, we're celebrating his 50 years of public service."• Retired Adjutant General Allen E. Tackett, who headed the West Virginia National Guard. Tackett was a close friend of Byrd. • West Virginia Secretary of State Natalie Tennant, who said Friday she would give the U.S. Senate run "strong consideration.""I haven't ruled anything in or anything out," Tennant said. "I'm honored to be considered as a person who would follow in [Rockefeller's] footsteps."• Ralph Baxter, CEO of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, one of the world's largest law firms, with more than 1,100 attorneys. San Francisco-based Orrick has a Global Operations Center in Wheeling. Baxter, who lived in West Virginia as a boy, serves on the West Virginia Workforce Investment Council and as a board member of the West Virginia Education Alliance. Other potential candidates are state Sen. Corey Palumbo, Senate President Jeff Kessler, former Democratic Party chairmen Nick Casey and Mike Callaghan, U.S. Rep. Nick Rahall, state Sen. Erik Wells, D-Kanawha, and former state Sen. Jim Humphreys."The list of people who will talk about running will be large," Carper said.Several political observers suggested that Supreme Court Justice Robin Davis might consider a run, but the court's rules would require her to step down as a justice if she entered the race -- something that's unlikely to happen. Political consultants predicted a small field of Democratic candidates if Caperton decides to run, and a larger group if he does not.Mike Plante, who has run numerous campaigns for Democrats, said a conservative Democrat who supports the coal industry would have the best chance of winning the primary and beating Capito."They would have to carve out an identity that they're an independent-minded, West Virginia Democrat, not a Washington Democrat," said Plante. "They need to be pro-coal and conservative on social issues." Democratic Party Chairman Larry Puccio said people "extremely interested" in running contacted him Friday. He declined to name them.Puccio predicted that the U.S. Senate Democratic primary would be competitive, and unsuccessful candidates likely would support the winner."We showed that when the candidates supported Governor [Earl Ray] Tomblin last time," Puccio said Friday. "The winning candidate will be someone who people believe in. I think we'll be very successful in that election."Carper said whoever runs must secure support from national as well as state Democratic Party leaders.Candidates also must have tremendous personal wealth or be able to raise millions of dollars, political observers said."This will be the most expensive Senate race in the history of West Virginia," Carper said. "The race has national implications. At the end of the day, this is going to be about money."The 2016 West Virginia gubernatorial race also could factor into the 2014 U.S. Senate race. Democratic candidates might run for Rockefeller's seat to make their names more recognizable with voters, then start a run for governor soon after."It certainly would be an opportunity to build some name recognition," said Chris Stadelman, vice president of The Manahan Group, a political consulting firm in West Virginia. "There's going to be a wide field -- not only for the Senate race in 2014 but for others, looking ahead to 2016.Stadelman expects Democratic candidates to start announcing plans to run for the Senate in the coming weeks.So far, Capito has no opposition in the GOP primary, but U.S. Rep. David McKinley has said he has not ruled out running against Capito. McKinley issued a statement praising Rockefeller Friday, but he did not say if he would run for the senator's open seat."There's going to be so much money involved in this race on both sides," Stadelman said, "so you have to announce fairly quickly so you can start raising money."Carper said the winner of the Democratic primary would be someone who can raise money from national groups while also waging an aggressive grassroots campaign across West Virginia."They better have a fire in the belly," he said. "It has to be a tenacious campaigner."And if there's consensus among Democrats it's this: Capito will be tough to beat. She's never lost an election."We were hoping that Senator Rockefeller would run again," said Bob Brown, executive director of the West Virginia School Service Personnel Association. "It's going to take a lot of money to beat Shelley."Reach Eric Eyre at email@example.com or 304-348-4869.

When Wiltshire Council was created five years ago, it inherited scores of buildings but most of these are being sold off to leave three main hubs in Chippenham, Trowbridge and Salisbury.
What does the future hold as the council pushes ahead with its plans for campuses?
In Devizes the old Kennet District Council offices, which have been on the market since 2012, could be sold for housing. The council had originally pledged to sell Browfort to a buyer who would create jobs but so far there has been little interest.
Council leader Jane Scott said: "We put an economic development use on the site but it is getting to the stage where will talk to the area board about considering other options and housing is likely to be a possibility."
She is pleased with the new council one-stop shop in Snuff Street in the town.
Coun Scott said: "It has proved very popular. Browfort was a bit out of town but the new shop front is right in the centre and is particularly busy on market day on Thursday.
"People can speak to the registrar, pay bills and get whatever information they need. It is not just well used by Devizes people but from those out in the villages."
Plans are coming together to create a community campus in Pewsey on land next to the leisure centre and Pewsey Vale School.
Coun Scott said: "The plan for Pewsey is coming on well.
"It makes sense for most things to go up on that land and it is likely to come on stream within the next three years."
She said the library in Pewsey was new so it would remain in its present position but as many other services as possible would move to the school site.
As yet Marlborough has no clear plan for creating a campus in the town. Coun Scott said people in Marlborough seemed happy with the position of the sports centre and it was lucky to have excellent facilities that could be used by the community at the new St John's School and at Marlborough College.
She said: "There has been some talk about creating a theatre or arts centre in the town but I am not sure the need is really there because of what is available at the school and the college."
Chippenham Chippenham could get a revamped swimming pool if a community campus is created at Monkton Park and the council offices and Olympiad Leisure Centre are linked.
Consultation has started on possible plans to move the library to the site. Coun Scott said: "I think Chippenham could be one of our most exciting developments. Monkton Park is a very attractive area with the river and parkland.
"It is easy to access from the town centre and some of the changes are already working very well.
"We have started work on the building to create more space and the police have settled in as well."
She said changes made to the Olympiad a couple of years ago to create space for adults with learning disabilities in the studio room during the day and for youth activities in the evening had worked well after some initial worries from users.
She was keen for The Bridge Centre site in the centre of the town to be redeveloped as soon as possible for shops and possibly a hotel and she praised the work of Chippenham Vision and Cherish Chippenham which are pushing hard to get this end of the town revitalised.
In Calne the council wants to eventually try and create a campus near John Bentley School and the community run leisure centre but discussions are still in the very early stages. Coun Scott said: "Calne has some good leisure facilities at Beversbrook and the community has done well running the leisure centre but this could probably do with some investment.
"The library is quite new but I think we need to find ways for it to be better used.
"We are probably some way off getting any firm plans for a campus in Calne."
Malmesbury is another town with no rush to create a campus. It has a popular leisure centre next to the town's senior school and the library is already in a good spot.
Coun Scott said: "Malmesbury is a town already quite happy with what it has got. It even has a skate park.
"But, like all the towns, we will be speaking to other organisations such as the police and health to see how we can work together."

Struggling to swallow food or coughing up food while eating is not only embarrassing but it can be a sign of a serious health problem.
Bad breath, difficulty swallowing, a feeling of food sticking in the throat or unexplained weight loss are all signs of a swallowing disorder.
One disorder, called Zenker's diverticulum, is caused by a pouch that develops in the walls of the lower throat. It usually occurs in people over 50.
When we swallow, there's a muscular valve called the upper esophageal sphincter that's supposed to relax and allow food and liquids to pass. In some people, and we don't know the exact cause, that muscle doesn't relax properly.
When that happens, the muscle at the top of the esophagus, which is the tube that connects the pharynx (throat) with the stomach, becomes herniated and a pouch develops.
We're not even sure how common this condition is because there are a lot of people who are undiagnosed.
The condition is diagnosed through a barium esophagram. For this test, patients swallow a barium liquid (a white, chalky substance) which allows X-ray images to be made of their esophagus.
Zenker's diverticulum is often categorized as small, medium or large in size. If a patient has a small Zenker's diverticula and food is not getting caught in the esophagus, he or she can simply be monitored for changes.
For patients who develop a medium or large-sized pouch, surgery is usually recommended.
The surgery is performed through an endoscopic approach, which has fewer complications than conventional open surgery.
In the endoscopic approach, a scope is placed through the mouth down into the proximal esophagus allowing surgeons to see the esophagus and the pouch.
They then use a special instrument that cuts and staples at the same time to divide the cricopharyngeus (a muscle in the throat that acts as a one-way valve) and the wall between the pouch and the esophagus. This eliminates the pouch by making it part of the upper esophagus.
For patients with a pouch smaller than 2 to 2 ½ centimeters, an endoscopic approach often cannot be done because the stapler is too large and doesn't fit into the pouch.
In many cases where the pouch is smaller, surgeons will perform open surgery which has a higher complication rate.
For those patients we still offer an endoscopic approach by using a harmonic scalpel which uses high frequency vibrations to cut and seal the tissue instead of a stapling device.
There is a success rate of 90 percent for patients who undergo surgery for Zenker's.
Zenker's isn't a condition that's just socially embarrassing. It can cause serious health issues. People can experience malnutrition, especially the older population we often see with this condition, and recurrent pneumonia as well as aspiration because food or liquid can enter the unprotected airway.

Hey guys im new to the Forums I browse a lot but I going to need some specific insight on this issue im having..
Im a dominate forehand player even on upshots.. I recently really started to work on backhand after some previous failed attempts.. I feel a lot more comfortable with the backhand than stated previously. I feel the the hit and the power with little effort but I really consentrate on performing the legendary backhand drive form correctly.. I was able to put a champ leopard 400 ft which was only accomplished in dreams before..
I feel my problem is accuracy and releasing it strait. I know a huge key is weight transfer. I have great accelerating No snap is heard when using the fork grip just a whoosh sound which ive read is good. I feel like my arms are ahead of my hips or vice versa I am always releasing it late and I notice when I pivot on my heel its like I twist and dont transfer. My toe is pointing strait up at 10:00 and then I really try to accelerate through the hit and my heel just twists to much and instead of ending up at 12:00 its at 2:00. friends have suggested pulling back further but it doesnt help it just makes me feel more unbalanced. I get a few good strait drives every once and a while but it is just inconsistent. Ive tried dan beatos little leg kick but I still end up twisting.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what the peoblem is if its not twisting, and if it is are there any good excersices I can work on at home to help correct the issue. any help would be greatly appreciated and help take my backhand the next level.

So you have an iPhone. Congrats! First off, get over yourself (OK, you probably don't need to hear that, but most do). I hope this post is helpful for you as you think about your time off from youth ministry. I think the new iOS 6 is a game-changer for youth ministry – been using a couple new things from the new update that are incredible. Let me tell you about the 2 features you need to turn on immediately and why I think they're a big deal for us:
When you need to get away, or take some time off, slide your phone on Do Not Disturb Mode. It still allows data, logs your calls stays up to date – it just doesn't alert you to that fact. If you are that person who doesn't shut down or turn it off easily, let all of the alerts slip by but still have your phone for an emergency and when you're ready to reengage you're up to date. Set a recurring "off time" from 10pm-7am and set it manually on your day off.
I hate skimming email on my day off – it only takes one lousy email to ruin your time away. That thing you thought was settled, that parent who is frustrated, that co-worker who doesn't have healthy boundaries either – so take that away and set your phone to not get their emails – actually you're getting the emails but it will only display the ones you've manually put on the VIP list. If you're looking to limit what you see when you're off, this could be a great tactic. If you use your phone for personal and church use, use VIP to filter your inbox from work mode to friends mode in the flick of a switch.
What other ways can your phone operating systems help you with your day off?

Weight Loss – What Works Better: Power vs. Willpower
I had friends over yesterday, and we were serving guacamole and a few other assorted foods. One friend blurted out that he was "watching himself" and rubbed his stomach — he looked like he was at a good weight. I thought it was interesting and considered his proclamation – and his willpower.
If you do some investigation into the word willpower, you'll see that its meaning is more or less about self-control. So the question is do you need self-control to lose weight and get in shape?
Honestly, are you fond of dramatically stomping your foot on the kitchen floor saying, "This is the last time! This is the last summer that I'm going to be fat. I will lose the weight! I'm going to empty the refrigerator, clean out my cupboards, and never, ever eat junk food again?" The truth is that more often than not, this approach is both severely unpleasant and a big waste of energy.
Do you really believe that all you need is good healthy dose of drawing the line in the sand to break the patterns you've been living by? Look, I'm not going to sit here and tell you that there isn't some self-control or willpower involved in weight control, but it's significantly less than you think.
Seriously. Weight loss is more about power, than willpower. You need to give yourself the power to lose weight. The point is not to get discouraged because you think you lack the willpower or discipline to lose weight — that's not what's going to get you through this process. That's not what's going to help you lose and keep the weight off.
What will work? Preparation, personal detective work, and being realistic and honest with yourself and your behaviors.
For more info, take a peek at the following: Dieting Traps.
Keep the faith, this is not a quick road, it's a long process, so make sure it's comfortable and works for you.
Also, keep in mind, I'm ALWAYS curious as to your thoughts and opinions. Do you get the POWER, NOT WILLPOWER concept? Let me know.
Stay well and be healthy,
Best, Charles

Subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) was first commercialized in the 1960's and now accounts for over 50 percent of the irrigation of horticultural and speciality crops. It is gaining popularity in some row crops, such as cotton in California and west Texas where water supplies are under increasing pressure.
In irrigated corn, SDI has yet to become as popular. However, recent water use restrictions and drought and fertilizer run-off concerns have renewed interest in SDI as a more efficient and precise means of water and fertilizer delivery.
Crop Insights reviews the history of drip irrigation development, discusses the comparative features, benefits and economics of SDI for corn production and details how SDI is being used in research to characterize and create corn hybrids with improved drought tolerance and nitrogen-use efficiency.

2009-10 Winter Tana Tour, the Ride North, Day Four, The Final Ride
We are sore and stiff after almost 4 days straight in Big Butt. We both abhore traveling like that, rushed, no time to stop and smell the roses or rest our bodies. Add to that the stress, and you just know we are rather whooped.
I am going to try and catch up on our last days in Gulf Shores, several posts, and then, hopefully, I will be back on track here at Reflections.
Thanks again for your support, prayers and best wishes. Now that we are home, we slowly unpack Tana and deal with the medical situation.
The yorks, by the way, are HAPPY to be back in the stick, they can go out in the yard, no leashes and no small containment - - can we say RUNNING WILD?? LOL

I received a lot of nominations for our Retailer of the Year this summer.
Over the past few years, we've gone back and forth from an individual award to an organizational award, like last year's recognition of the Defense Commissary Agency.
This year we chose an individual, Steve Wright, director of produce and floral at Tops Friendly Markets.
Steve received an overwhelming number of nominations, but I have to admit Tops wasn't really on my radar until I took a second look at what's been happening at the Buffalo, N.Y.-based retailer over the past few years.
I even visited the Grand Island, N.Y., location where we met for the photo shoot during a store check trip last summer.
While I considered it an OK example of a neighborhood supermarket, I wasn't really impressed.
This time around, with a few new fixtures, custom signs and lighting improvements, the location's produce department really had a chance to shine.
I also realize Tops has been on some unsavory lists over the past few years, including the dubious honor of being one of the "12 Worst Supermarkets in America." This list comes out annually, published by The Fiscal Times.
Tops has quietly been making improvements, innovating in new outlets like social media, and developing successful promotions with engaged vendor partners.
They even have a new produce-focused format, Orchard Fresh, which opened its first new store this year in a Buffalo suburb, and is scheduled to expand over the next few years.
There's something to be said for a retailer that sees its flaws and brings someone in to really shake things up as Steve has done.
They're about 30 stores in to a produce overhaul, including at Tops' recent acquisitions, Penn Traffic and Grand Union. Sales are up. Volume is up. Good things are happening at Tops.
And Tops has to wear many hats in the markets where it operates. As I drove around the Buffalo area after our meeting, I saw Tops stores across the street from Wegmans, Aldi, Wal-Mart and even a few farm stands.
To be able to stand proud against competition that ranges from high end to low income, and to steadily grow sales and volume, is an accomplishment.
Steve is aggressive about selling more produce, and aren't afraid to take risks.
Hearing the applause from those gathered at the store as he walked over to the cafe area when I was leaving reinforced that this was an award not only for him, but for the entire Tops produce staff.
Take a look at Tops, and what they've accomplished over the past few years of pretty dramatic growth and change, and I think you'll see what I'm talking about.

U.S. national team midfielder Stuart Holden got a big scare Friday when he was taken down with a hard tackle during the Bolton Wanderers' reserve match against Manchester City.
Holden, 27, is trying to work his way back to fitness after a major knee injury in March 2011 sidelined him for the better part of two years.
He left the game wincing in pain and limping on the same right leg.
After the game, however, Holden said his right knee is OK and that he's just sore from the hard tackle.
Holden, a star for the Houston Dynamo for four years before joining Bolton in '11, is out of contract and still trying to work himself back into playing shape before seeking a new deal.
"With this injury I just want to get back playing every week and I've got a job on my hands to get back into the team," Holden told reporters this week. "My first and foremost thought is just to be back playing week in week out for Bolton and just having that feeling of playing 90 minutes and winning games and coming off the next day feeling like I've played a game. I'm so close to that now that I don't want to let anything distract me."

Detailed Description:
Streptococcus pneumoniae is the major cause of bacterial infection in HIV-infected patients. The current pneumococcal vaccine is poorly efficacious in patients with a CD4 cell count lower than 500/mm3. This study will test the efficacy and safety of a new pneumococcal vaccine strategy in patients with a CD4 cell count between 200 and 500/mm3.

Further study details as provided by French National Agency for Research on AIDS and Viral Hepatitis:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Proportion of patients responders to 7 pneumococcal polysaccharides at W8
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Persistence of antibody responses at W24 and W96
- Clinical tolerance of pneumococcal vaccines at W8
- Evolution of the CD4 count and plasma HIV RNA load
- Immunological substudy (predictive factors of the antibody responses) at W24
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|February 2003
|Study Completion Date:

Streptococcus pneumoniae (SP) is the major cause of bacterial infection in HIV-infected patients. The 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide (PPV) is poorly immunogenic in patients with CD4 below 500 cells/mm3. The purpose of this multicentric national study is to evaluate whether a prime with a 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV), able to induce immunological memory, would improve immunogenicity against SP polysaccharides. 212 HIV-1 infected patients, with a CD4 count between 200 and 500/mm3, will be randomly assigned to one of two vaccine groups: PCV at Week 0 followed by PPV at Week 4 or PPV alone at Week 4. Evaluation will be done at week 8. The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients who had antibody responses against 7 pneumococcal polysaccharides at Week 8. Secondary endpoints include the persistence of antibody responses at Weeks 24 and 96, vaccines safety and occurrence of pneumococcal disease over time.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Adult patients with proven HIV-1 infection
- Naïve or antiretroviral experienced

Brandon Watson is currently a centerfielder in the Washington Nationals' AAA organization. Prior to his professional career, he starred at Westchester High School where made the All-City and All-State first team as a senior in 1999.
Over the last three seasons, he has appeared in 40 games for the Cincinnati Reds and the Nationals. This past season, he set an International League record by hitting in 43 consecutive games with the Nationals' AAA affiliate, the Columbus Clippers.
In his own words, he shares his thoughts on the World Series, his friendship with Boston Red Sox centerfielder Coco Crisp, and the lack of Blacks in the game today.
I think it's definitely a World Series that nobody really saw coming in the beginning of the year. The Rockies are definitely a hot team coming down the stretch and the Red Sox are a complete team with pitching, bullpen and nice bats to win it all. (I guess we'll just have to see what happens.)
Its unbelievable what the Rockies have done over the stretch run and into the playoffs. What scares me about them is (I feel bad) that they have to wait nine days at this time in the season. I think if they played right away, it might be a different series.
Baseball is a tough sport to take that many days off in a row. You can practice all you want but it's not like a real game. They had a nine-day layoff compared to Boston only having three days.
Another thing about Boston is they have a great attitude about baseball and play the way it should be played. They play hard, leave everything on the field and don't worry about what happens because in baseball, you cant put too much pressure on yourself. You have to go out and play the game every day and every night. That's what the Red Sox do as a team and they've been successful doing that.
Coco is a great guy. He's one of my good friends and we played Little League ball together. He's been the same way my whole life; he's a hard worker and one of the best out there right now.
I have friends on both teams but I'm rooting for Coco because we come from the same place and we've been through pretty much the same things and I'd love to see one of my good friends win a World Series.
As far the lack of Blacks in the game today, I feel like all we can do is keep playing and try to get to inner city kids more into baseball. (Ed. Note: besides Crisp, Rockies' relief pitcher LaTroy Hawkins is the only other African-American in the World Series). I started playing Little League when I was five and young people don't play baseball like they used to. That is what the game is missing right now: young Black talent
The Black athletes today need to step up and do what they can to help other Black athletes get in the game. But it is tough because basketball and football intrigue a lot of our athletes because they see everybody running and jumping and baseball is a more laid back and relaxing game. It all depends on how much you love and how much you're around it at an early age.
My prediction for the World Series is Boston in five. I think the layoff will be too long for the Rockies to overcome but we'll see what happens.

There are too many "main eventers". Or more accurately, there are too many wrestlers that are meant to be perceived to be at main event level by the casual fans.

Topic: Mom diagnosed with Klatskin's Tumor
My mother was diagnosed with Klatskin's tumor earlier this year. She is only in her late 50's. She never smoked, ate healthy, exercised and only consumed alcohol on social occasions. Fortuneately, she was a candidate for surgery. In fact, they were not able to get a biopsy sample until the day of surgery but they were pretty sure it was CC of the common hepatic duct (Klatskin's Tumor) based upon location and presentation. It took her 4 months before she got out of the hospital because of several complications which included infections of various types and bleeding from ulcers which were probably aggrevated by stress.
She had her right hepatic lobe and gall bladder removed as well but both of those organs came back negative for cancer and the 2 lymph nodes they biopsied were also negative for cancer. The cancer seemed to be localized in the common hepatic duct and perhaps a bit was going up the right hepatic duct (which was removed with the right hepatic lobe) but the margins were negative. They anastomosed the left hepatic duct to the jejunum.
Since, she has left the hospital she has had 2 episodes of cholangitis where she had to be readmitted for IV antibiotics. It appears there maybe a surgical stricture at the end of the left hepatic duct which is connected to the jejunum. This may make her prone to cholangitis.
She had the surgery done at a large community hospital. She is going to the University of Michigan to see if see needs any further treatment. She is against chemotherapy because chemotherapy has not been proven to be very effective against CC and she has already been through so much. In addition, she will see if anything can be done with this surgical stricture she has of the left hepatic duct. Her surgeon does not believe the cancer has reoccurred that quickly. Her CT of the chest, abdomen and Pelvis have all been negative.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Are there chemo agents that others have taken in her situation for prophylaxis that do not have a lot of side effects? Do the frequency of cholangitis decrease over time?
God bless to all of you who have gone through difficult times.

AXA Wealth will be shouting 'go for gold Gemma' during the 2014 Commonwealth Games, which start this evening.
The Friendly Games in Glasgow games will feature 17 sporting events with 261 medals up for grabs.
And colleagues at AXA Wealth's head office in Basingstoke will be rooting for Gemma Kermode, who is a settlements administrator for AXA Wealth International, on the Isle of Man.
Gemma is part of the Isle of Man Women's Shooting team, which will be entering the Women's Air Rifle and Women's 3P – three positions, match comprises 20 shots kneeling, 20 shots Prone and 20 shots standing – events at this year's Games.
She is competing in her second Games. She was previously selected for the 2010 Commonwealth Games for both the Women's Prone and Women's Air Rifle teams.
Gemma said: "My father introduced me to shooting so I owe my success to him.
"To compete in the 2014 Commonwealth Games and represent the Isle of Man is such a great honour, and I am extremely excited.
"I'm looking forward to the whole experience and the chance to compete against some of the best shooters in the world.
"There will be strong competition this year from Scotland, Malaysia and Singapore, so I am extremely grateful for the support that AXA Wealth International has provided me.
"Being granted greater work flexibility allowed me to keep training right up until the event."
Mike Foy, managing director, AXA Wealth International, sends his best wishes.
He said: "With over 40 of the 71 competing nations expected to send a team to Glasgow to compete in the shooting events, we are delighted and enthused to be supporting Gemma as she represents the Isle of Man at such a high level.
"On behalf of myself and everyone at AXA Wealth International we wish her the best of luck and have every confidence that she will do the Isle of Man proud. Go for gold Gemma!"
