BERKELEY -- For as long as anyone in the neighborhood can remember the lot at 2366 San Pablo Avenue has been an empty eyesore, one of many lining the street with chain-link fences, barbed wire and weeds.
That is changing as work has begun to spruce up the 14,000 square foot lot and dilapidated 1,200 square foot building, but in this case the progress could come with the smell of marijuana controversy.
Berkeley Patients Group, the city's largest medical marijuana dispensary which industry insiders say sold about $15 million in weed a year before being forced to close by the federal government May 1, is relocating to this spot.
Letters from the U.S. Attorneys office in San Francisco to the previous landlord of the group down the street at 2747 San Pablo Avenue threatened him with seizure of his property because the dispensary was too close to two schools. So he evicted them.
No opening date has been set at the new site and officials from Berkeley Patients Group refused to go on record about their plans.
The owner of the new property said she is not worried about threats from the federal government for renting to a medical marijuana outlet.
"Our property is not close to any school," said Nahla Droubi, of Moraga, who has owned the lot for 10 years. "The previous landlord had a very good experience with this group. He said they were very organized, and most important thing is they had no violations and great security."
Droubi said she also talked to the Berkeley Police Department, the city attorney and neighboring landlords at the group's previous site down the street "and I heard they had no problems."
Berkeley's law governing medical marijuana dispensaries says none can be closer than 600 feet to any public or private school. Berkeley Patient's Group's new location is just over 1,000 feet from two schools: Rosa Parks Elementary School and Nia House Learning Center.
Berkeley Patients Group previously was directly across the street from a school, but it was allowed to stay because it was established before Berkeley wrote its rules.
Business owners next to the new site for the dispensary are divided over whether it's a good place for medical marijuana sales.
Herb Permillion, owner of a typewriter repair shop next door called California Office Machines, said he's glad to see the lot being fixed up after being empty for at least 25 years.
"It's good to see a business in that place because its been dead for a quarter century," Permillion said. "I might have a concern about parking. Right now there is room on the street, but if they have a big overflow crowd, it could be tricky."
But the owner of an auto repair shop on the other side of the lot, who asked not to be identified, doesn't like the idea of marijuana sales so close to Rosa Parks Elementary School, and he believes it will attract "riffraff" to the neighborhood.
Berkeley Patients Group did issue a two-page statement on their relocation, saying in part that the site has "ample on-site parking" and they will provide on-site security guards 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
"Suspicious activity will be monitored and recorded," the statement said. "Evidence of criminal activity will be reported to the proper authorities."

Crystal Palace boss Tony Pulis praised his "big hearted" players after coming through a "must not lose" clash at Sunderland.
Saturday's 0-0 draw at the Stadium of Light keeps the Eagles three points above the Premier League relegation places.
In a game of few chances, the Black Cats Fabio Borini came closest to breaking Eagles hearts when his second-half effort came back off the woodwork.
Palace held on for a vital point - although the blank marked four games without a goal from open play.
Only Glenn Murray's penalty at Swansea City has found the net in that time.
However, Pulis remains calm in the face of a relegation battle that is heading for the wire.
He said: "Gus [Poyet] said beforehand that this was a 'must-win' game for Sunderland, but I've been in this game long enough to know how quickly things can change around.
"Lose the next three, then win three on the bounce and you're almost there."
He added: "For us, we saw it as 'must not lose' and I couldn't ask any more of my lads - they've got big, big hearts.
"They're very tired in that dressing room, but because they worked so hard I think Julian Speroni has only had to make two saves."
Palace return to the north-east this weekend when they take on Newcastle United.

Live at Quinta do Peru is living in total tranquility of the countryside, close to the sea and away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Situated in an area favored by nature, where the beauty of the Sado River estuary and the magnificent Arrábida, Quinta do Peru benefits from the favourable climate and diversity of landscapes that make it a unique place to live. A dream scenario, with the Tróia peninsula in the background, which can be enjoyed from the Conventinho da Arrábida secular terraces, built from 1535 by Franciscan friars, who used to say, flushed with the breathtaking view: 'If this isn't heaven, we're very near!'.
When the Sado River embraces the Atlantic Ocean, faces us with a rugged coastline that looks over the sea between the Portinho da Arrábida and the fishing village of Sesimbra, where, in addition to welcoming sandy beaches, fishing enthusiasts are attractive specimens, such as swordfish. In this region, lovers of good food can delight in the best fish and seafood in traditional recipes passed down from generation to generation.
Walking into the interior, it should be noted the architectural wealth of the old manor of Wakefield and the beauty of the vineyards of the illustrious families spread out to Palmela, where are produced wines of excellence signed by renowned houses such as the Quinta da Bacalhoa, José Maria da Fonseca or Casa Ermelinda Freitas, deserving special mention the fortified wine of chaste muscatel , perfect accompaniment to the traditional sweets of the area, in which pontificam the famous Tortas de Azeitão.

The EIA report may have depressed corn futures Wednesday morning. Anticipation of a record U.S. corn crop and good results for other crops have exerted persistent downward pressure upon the crop markets lately, but prices apparently bounced in early Wednesday trading due to widespread short-covering ahead of Friday's big USDA crop reports. However, corn futures turned lower in the wake of the weekly EIA energy report, since that indicated reduced ethanol production and rising stocks last week. December corn futures slid 1.75 cents to $4.2325/bushel around midsession Wednesday, while May lost 1.5 cents to $4.4175.
Short covering seemingly boosted the soy complex. Soybean and product prices rallied moderately this morning, which probably reflected general short-covering and position squaring ahead of Friday's USDA Crop Production and WASDE reports. However, given widespread expectations for bearish production data, short-term gains seem likely to be limited. January soybean futures rose 5.75 cents to $12.56/bushel late Wednesday morning, while December soyoil edged 0.05 cents higher to 41.20 cents/pound, and December soymeal added $3.1 to $395.9/ton.
The wheat markets were decidedly mixed in Wednesday morning action Friday's Crop Production reports should have limited application to the wheat markets, since the September reports probably captured the situation quite well. Still, traders have to be wary about the potential WASDE results. Thus, it wasn't terribly surprising to see the Chicago and Kansas City markets down slightly, while Minneapolis rose modestly Wednesday morning. December CBOT wheat futures dipped 0.25 cent to $6.5575/bushel just before lunchtime Wednesday, and December KCBT wheat futures skidded 2.75 cents to $7.195, whereas December MWE futures moved up 0.5 to $7.1425.
Tight supplies are probably supporting cattle futures. Although beef prices aren't acting particularly well at this juncture, the modest slippage seen so far this week may do little to lower bullish expectations for the short-term. That is, producers and bullish traders know supplies are tight and will almost surely continue tightening on a seasonal basis, thereby seeming to lend the market a bullish bias. December cattle futures rallied 0.17 cents to 132.32 cents/pound late Wednesday morning, while April futures crept up 0.07 to 134.22. January feeder cattle advanced 0.60 cents to 165.67 cents/pound, while March feeders climbed 0.47 cents to 165.42.
Concerted cash and wholesale losses are weighing on hog futures this morning. Although hog traders realize this is often a weak period for the hog and pork complex, Tuesday's across-the-board weakness in the cash and wholesale markets are depressing CME prices so far today. December hog futures sank 0.62 cents at 87.62 cents/pound as the lunch hour loomed Wednesday, while April tumbled 0.57 to 93.07 cents/pound.

AFC CORSHAM Jaguars booked their place at May's finals weekend as they defeated Worton & Cheverell 4-0 in the Ron & Edna Sales U15 League Cup showpiece during two days of semi finals at Rudloe's Leafy Lane complex last weekend.
Jaguars grabbed an early lead following a strike from Aaron Mason 11 minutes in but had to wait until the 52nd minute for their second, scored after excellent individual work by Ollie Poulton.
The third and fourth goals came from George Fortt, while goalkeeper Shaun Mitchell kept a clean sheet at the other end.
Corsham will face Holt in the final after their 5-1 success over Bradford Town Youth.
Holt took the lead after 15 minutes as Alex Watson's long ball reached George Evans who scored.
Evans' second goal was a left-foot curling drive before Bradford pulled one back.
On half time Holt's Ciaran Taylor scored with a header.
In the second period, Dominic Allen scored with an overhead kick before Taylor's through-ball to Evans set up his hat-trick.
AFC Corsham will also have representation in the U17s final at Hardenhuish Park on the weekend of May 9-11 after the Black side got the better of their Red club rivals in a penalty shootout.
The score was tied at 1-1, but the Blacks team progressed 3-1 on spot-kicks and will face Derry Hill Blaze, the 3-2 conquerors of Amesbury Town.
Another match to go to a shootout was the U10s semi final between Castle Combe Colts White and Chippenham Town White.
Chippenham led in the second half of normal time but Matthew Robinson's header restored parity.
After a goalless ten minutes of extra time, Robinson, Toby Bridgeman-Daw, Luke Smith, George White, Max Pearce, Brandon Hearn and Tom Wallace all converted spot-kicks as Colts banished the memory of their last-four exit a year ago.
They will face Marshfield Juniors, who edged out Westbury Lions 4-3, with goals from Freddie Gibbs, Joel Hardy, William Porter and Zac Hale.
At U16 level, Devizes Town Youth Red needed to come from behind and extra time before seeing off Staverton Sports 2-1 to set up a meeting with Melksham Town Tornadoes, the 4-3 winners over AFC Corsham.
Bradford Town Youth Panthers are into the U14 final after kncoking out Frome Town 3-1 after extra time.
Will Chantry gave Bradford the lead in normal time, but it required goals from Aiden Green and Max Smith in the first period of extra time to progress.
Melksham Town Hurricanes narrowly failed to join them as Bath Arsenal claimed the final berth with a 4-3 victory.
The U13 semi finals were both won comfortably, Warminster Highbury Reds defeating Westbury Youth Lions 5-0 and Amesbury Juniors going one better with their 6-0 success over Alderbury.
Highbury Reds are also through to the U12 final after seeing off Trowbridge Town 2-0 and will meet Devizes Town Youth Red, who scored four times in the second half to beat Bradford Town Youth Pumas 5-1.

It's easy to enjoy a walk through the dairy barn at the North Dakota State Fair, but if you'd like to make sure your questions about the cows are answered, Dairy Princess Marissa Leier will be on hand as your tour guide. The chance to have a personal escort through the barns is one more way the state's dairy farmers are making sure fair-goers can learn more about where their food comes from.
Beginning when dairy cattle come to the fairgrounds on Wednesday, July 25, Leier can be found at the Midwest Dairy Association display at the end of the dairy barn. That display is just one of the ways dairy information is shared at the fair.
In addition, Midwest Dairy is a participant in the Fair's new effort called the Ag Experience, which provides various stations around the fairgrounds where visitors can learn about each commodity and answer questions to win prizes such as camping equipment and a John Deere pedal tractor.
"We're an agricultural state, and the North Dakota State Fair is one of our chances to showcase that," said Char Heer, program manager for Midwest Dairy. "It's terrific that the Fair is such a good partner with groups like ours when it comes to ag education."
In addition to the Ag Experience stations, Midwest Dairy will be among the groups posting information to a blog during the fair.

Leigh Montagna says he would seriously consider becoming captain at St Kilda, but only if incumbent skipper Nick Riewoldt decides he no longer wants the job or the club and players feel it is time for a fresh voice.
It is Montagna's opinion that Riewoldt is still the best man for the role, one he has performed for eight straight seasons, although the club will still go through the formal process of selecting a skipper for 2014 under the new model introduced by Leading Teams.
"We'll do the Leading Teams model where we'll go through the proper process, but I would think clearly Nick would still be the man for the job," Montagna said on Monday, when asked his thoughts on the captaincy situation.
"I can't see why that would change.
"With the Leading Teams model, we'll do it through the formal procedures and pick a leadership group and from there, pick a captain."
Riewoldt, who recently signed a two-year contract extension, has stated he will remain captain for as long as the club wants him to and, should he be chosen again this season, will surpass Danny Frawley as St Kilda's longest-serving skipper.
However should it emerge from the Leading Teams process that the team would benefit from having a new captain, or should Riewoldt have a change of heart, Montagna indicated he did hold aspirations for the top job.
Montagna also signed a two-year contract extension late last season and is viewed as one of the Saints' most consistent performers and, at age 30, is also one of its most experienced players.
"It would be something I'd seriously consider," he said of potentially becoming captain.
"We'll get to that when we do but look, Nick has been a tremendous captain and I'd continue to love playing under Nick."
Three of last season's top four sides - Hawthorn, Fremantle and Sydney - used the Leading Teams model.
After years of drafting to win a premiership under former coach Ross Lyon, a gap exists on the Saints list between veteran players such as Riewoldt, Montagna and Lenny Hayes and a big group of younger players yet to reach that prime leadership age of 25 to 30.
The situation was made even worse in the short-term by the departure of ruckman Ben McEvoy to Hawthorn.
Montagna said he hoped the introduction of Leading Teams this year would help develop new leaders among the younger brigade.
"As we know there is a bit of a gap between a few of the older guys and a few of the younger guys with our leadership, so bridging that gap is something I think we will focus on this year," he said.
"We've just got to find them, we've got to bring that out in them. There are certainly younger guys there that have leadership potential, but giving them the environment where they can show that and bring that out is something we will work on.
"Guys Nick [Reiwoldt] and Lenny [Hayes] are not going to be around forever, so we certainly need to fast track some development from other guys. "
Montagna said new coach Alan Richardson's background as a member of Port Adelaide's coaching staff during their rise to the top eight last season had given the Saints confidence.
"He's fitted in really well. You can tell he's confident in his own skin," Montagna said.
"We just want to improve from last season. In the last couple of years we've been on a downward trend.
"The positive of Richo coming from Port Adelaide is he's been there where it has happened really quickly and that's given us a lot of confidence that it's possible."
Montagna said Richardson had been very direct and honest with his players and his main emphasis was on hard work.
"That's been his motto. He'd rather us wear out than rust out," Montagna said.
"He'd rather have guys pushing themselves to the limit rather than backing off.
"That's something that's been a challenge for some guys."
St Kilda's first pre-season game is against Western Bulldogs in Geelong on February 19.

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Daniel Hudson will have season-ending Tommy John surgery on his right elbow.
An MRI exam Wednesday in Phoenix showed there was a tear in Hudson's ulnar collateral ligament, but Hudson wanted a second opinion. The second opinion confirmed the need for surgery.
"Since its official I guess I can let everyone know I will be undergoing Tommy John surgery to fix my elbow," Hudson tweeted Saturday.
Hudson left Tuesday night's game with the injury and revealed for the first time he had discomfort in the elbow earlier this season.
Hudson was 16-12 with a 3.49 ERA for Arizona in 2011, but has had difficulty this season. He was on the disabled list from April 21 to May 27 with a right shoulder impingement and now faces a more serious injury.
He was removed after giving up five runs and seven hits in 1 2-3 innings on Tuesday night, leaving his ERA at 7.35. Hudson also struggled in his previous start, giving up seven runs in four innings in a loss to Seattle last week.

Children's Health
My 2 year old is having trouble pooping.
My daughter is having problems pooping. I have tried prunes, prune juice, pedilax for children, and oatmeal, and nothing seems to be working. I don`t know what to do. Plus she won`t eat anything.
These are certainly vexing problems for many mothers. The good news is that the causes of these problems are seldom the result of actual illness of problems with the body's function. They are vastly more likely to be the product of toddler negativity bumping up against well meaning efforts to be a good mother. If you daughter has been healthy and growing well with few bowel problems up until now, it would be best to focus on developmental causes and not worry about illness. If feeding and stooling are long term problems with your daughter, then a consultation with a pediatric gastroenterologist is the way to go.
So my advice will focus on the developmental struggles between parents and toddlers that often provoke toileting problems and feeding battles. Toddlers have made the wonderful discovery that they are not their parents or even a part of their parents. toddlers are devoted to discovering how they differ from their parents. They basically take the strategy of wanting anything other than what their parent wants. This accounts for why the word "No!" is so popular with toddlers and general negativity or contrariness. It does not mean that the toddler does not love the parent any more or that the toddler is purposefully trying to make a parent angry. Toddlers cannot help the drive to define themselves as opposites of their parents.
Most toddlers also have limited language skills, so they can't tell us how they feel and what they want clearly so we get it. In their frustration, they have meltdowns we call tantrums. Being hungry or tired makes tantrums a lot more likely. Crying is very hard to take as is the screaming and flailing of tantrums. So what is a parent to do?
Parenting a toddler takes an enormous amount of patience and self control to remain calm no matter what and assertive about how things will be done. Parents do know best what are healthy food and beverage choices, what behaviors are acceptable and which are not, as well as safety behaviors that must be observed. Just because our children are human does not mean that they know how to fit into family and community. They have to learn how to do this and parents are their trainers for life. Along with calm and assertive attitudes, a set daily schedule of meals and snacks, naps, and bedtime help a toddler to feel secure. It also minimizes the risk for tantrums.
Toddlers normally have a drop in appetite around a year of age as their rate of growth slows significantly from what it was during infancy. Add negativity to the decreased appetite, and the stage is set for struggles over eating. It is best to schedule meals and snacks evenly throughout the day. toddlers love choices but they can only handle a choice between 2 options. offering more only overwhelms them. Parents should offer only offer a choice between two healthful options and stick to it. Toddlers only need 1-2 Tablespoons of each food at each meal because their stomachs are small. They can be overwhelmed when faced with a seeming mountain of food they can't possibly eat. Offering small amounts also allows the child to feel successful when he or she eats and gives them the chance to feel in control when they ask for more. The only thing that more is not available for is dessert. Two year-olds can eat the family diet as long as the meat is tender and the foods are cut up in small pieces. Hard foods like carrot and celery sticks are not safe. Nuts, hard candy, hot dog rounds, popcorn, seeds, etc. are also not safe for toddlers. Parents should not be short order cooks or panic if a child does not eat much at a meal or snack time. appetites and food intake vary a lot day to day in toddlerhood. remain calm and matter of fact about the timing and content of meals and let the child choose whether or not to eat and how much to eat.
In order to avoid constipation, make sure the child had only about 16 ounces of milk per day or dairy food equivalents such as yogurt or cheese. too much milk or cheese can be very constipating. Make sure plenty of water is offered during the day and offer only 4-6 ounces of 100% fruit juice each day. Offer whole grain crackers, breads, and cereal as well as at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables each day to assure adequate fiber in the diet. Make sure the child has ample time to play actively to help nature along. When moving to potty training, make it a routine to sit on the potty after each meal in order to take advantage of the natural gastrocolic reflex for stooling after eating.
As readiness for toilet training draws near, help your child make the choice to be dry. Let her choose an affordable potty and place it in the bathroom. Have her come to the bathroom with her sisters and her mother so she learns the routine. Comment positively on her efforts to imitate good bathroom habits such as washing her hands. Let her sit on the potty with her clothes on if she wants. read books and watch videos about toilet training. Let her select her big girl underwear for when she is ready not to use a diaper.
The trick with toddlers is to set them up for success by helping them to choose to do the right thing on their own, providing you the chance to calmly offer low key praise for good choices and behaviors. You will still face bouts of tantrums and negativity but remaining calm and assertive, no matter what, will end tough situations quickly.
If constipation remains a problem, consult with your daughter's doctor and discuss the need for care by a specialist. Books that I highly recommend as good resources for parents include Barry Brazelton's Touchpoints Birth to Three, Child of Mine: Feeding with Love and Good Sense by Ellyn Satter, and Penelope Leach's Your Baby and child Birth to Five. The each offer sound advice to handle the many challenges of parenting the young child and gaining insight into the why of developmentally normal, but trying, child behaviors.
I hope these ideas are helpful to you.

Roy Hibberts Big Leap: Indiana Pacers big man Roy Hibbert was named an All-Star last season and got his monster payday this offseason by way of a maximum contract offer from the Portland Trail Blazers that the Pacers ultimately matched. Some could say Hibbert has gotten what he wanted over the last few years, but last years playoff run has left him even more motivated to live up to the new hype and expectations surrounding himself and his team.
I feel comfortable within myself, Hibbert said to HOOPSWORLD. I feel that theres more responsibility within me. I want that responsibility with that contract I was given. Whether its on offense or defense, Im going to bring it every night, regardless.
Last year was great. We played well. We want to build off last year. But we cant think that just because where we were last year, were going to get there again without putting in the effort, sacrificing and putting a lot of blood, sweat and tears into it. We have our work cut out for us, its a process and hopefully we can build throughout the year.
The Pacers found success a year ago mainly due to Hibberts emergence as a consistent big in the East and guard Paul George dominating at times. Hibbert believes that in order for the Pacers to get back to the postseason, its going to take more than just Danny Granger, George and himself.
It comes from all of us, Hibbert said. Personally, I know I want to make the big jump, whether that is on offense or defense. But I think everybody needs to be on the same page, working and being hungry for success. You should never be satisfied with losing.
Everybody is working extremely hard in preseason, very focused. We have our ups-and-downs on the road right now, were 2-2, two at home and two away losses. The first couple games of the season are on the road, so we got to be road warriors and be sure to win those. Its a good experience playing in a hostile environment, but we got work to do.
Despite the fifth-best record in the NBA and a convincing playoff push a year ago, the Pacers remain a team overlooked and underestimated.
Were going to be under the radar no matter what because thats what people want to see, the big names, said Hibbert. Its fine with us, were just going to go about our business and bring it.
If we work at it, we can do pretty well. Expectations are high, but there are a few guys on this team that will make sure we work and not just, say, settle.
I think we can get to the Eastern Conference Finals, hopefully win our division, Hibbert said confidently. Itll take time. Nothing is given; you have to go get it. We have a chance to be really good if we put it all together.
The Pacers open 12 of their first 18 games on the road, so the path to the playoffs for the Pacers wont be easy. But with their starting core back, another year of experience together and a hobbled Chicago Bulls team likely conceding the division with Derrick Rose sidelined for the bulk of the season due to an ACL injury, the Pacers could be home court heroes again this year, if they can meet their own expectations.
D.J. Augustin, The Backup: D.J. Augustin was the starting point guard for the worst team, percentage wise, in NBA history last year. To say he was looking for a fresh start is an understatement.
This summer, Augustin dumped the Charlotte Bobcats for the Indiana Pacers as a free agent. While hes now the primary backup to George Hill the starter for the Pacers hes happy to have a chance to be part of a winning organization.
Augustin talks with HOOPSWORLD about his new team and his expectations for the season.

EXCITED youngsters had a magical time when they attended the premiere of Tinker Bell and the Pirate Fairy at Merry Hill on Sunday.
The film sees swashbuckling fairy Zarina arrives in Pixie Hollow and steals the blue pixie dust, before running off to join a band of pirates, leaving the other fairies powerless.
It is up to Tinker Bell to reclaim the magical dust and save the day for her fairy friends.
Kelly Reed, senior marketing manager at the Brierley Hill shopping centre, said she was "thrilled" that more than 160 youngsters turned up to watch the film.
She said she hoped that the children would return to the centre to take part in a crafty workshop on Monday (February 17) that is being held to celebrate the release of the movie.

Two weeks ago, the gaming world lost one of its most influential creators in Gary Gygax — one of the co-creators of Dungeons & Dragons. Over on Newsweek's gaming blog, Level Up, N'Gai Croal has interviewed several folks from the videogame industry to hear how D&D impacted their lives — both personally and professionally. Today, Todd Howard's interview with N'Gai went up. Here's a sample:
Q: What do you remember about your first experience with Dungeons & Dragons?
A: My earliest memory was going with my brother to a game store called Conflicts and my parents dropping us off on a Tuesday night to play this "D&D" game. The next three hours were a revelation. It was like a new gateway into awesomeness was opened for me. This was the summer of 1978, if I remember right, and I was eight. I can recall counting the days until each Tuesday. It's one of my favorite memories, of real bonding time with my brother and others.
You can read the rest of N'Gai's interview with Todd here. Additionally, you can read interviews with Denis Dyack (Too Human), Harvey Smith (Deus Ex), and John Smedley (EverQuest).

Ratings for Dr. Dean L. Davis
Dr. Davis treated my husband for prostate cancer in 2007. He is not only an outstanding doctor in his field, he is also a compassionate, caring and thoughtful human being. As a cancer survivor myself, I can tell you how important that is since I was not as fortunate to have a doctor as caring as Dr. Davis who realizes that to have an optimum result in the treatment of cancer patients, you must treat not only the body, but the mind as well. I would unhesitatingly recommend Dr. Davis to any patient in need of not only professional care, but compassionate care as well. I will forever be indebted to Dr. Davis for saving my husband's life.
Dr. Dean is the best Dr. that I have ever seen, and that is saying a lot since I am 65 years old and have seen a lot of Dr's. He has taken care of my husband and I just love him. He is so kind and caring and will talk to u as long as you need to talk. I would like to know where he is now because my husband and myself would follow him. Mercy Hospital made a big mistake by releasing him. He shows that he cares for his patients and has them at heart. That is hard to find in a Dr. now days. Do not care what they say about Dr Dean we love him and everyone is human and we should all forgive him. Do not take his licence as that will be a big mistake. Dr. Dean Davis, we love u. Danny and Loretta Katano
dr was very outstanding he saved my life i had lung cancer an now in re mission thank you dr davis
Excellent doctor and very knowledgeable. I was treated for stage IIB Hodgkin's Lymphoma and his explaination of my options as well as treatment through the Florence Wheeler Cancer Center was absolutely wonderful. I am currenty cancer free and continuing with follow ups. Dr. Davis is the complete package. He offers sound medical advice with current medical information and he understands the nutritional needs of cancer patients so the solutions for his patients is not just a complete medical view. The body needs to be repaired. Dr. Davis advises that nutrition and medicine combined are part of the healing and required for long term success. I would make Dr. Davis my GP is he could be.
Dr. Davis is the most compassionate Dr. I have ever seen. During a very difficult time in my life he help put me at ease and even made me smile a few times during my 6 week treatment. His staff is professional and compassionate as well. I would recommend him for anyone needing radiation.

If you know of any other meditation apps please post here.
How it Works:
ReWire accesses your iTunes library so you can practice with your favorite music and videos -- anything works. You'll get a customized, compelling experience, from Bach to the Beastie Boys. During a session, the sound (and/or video, depending on mode) will randomly vanish. Tap the screen as quickly as possible to note each "vanishing." If you miss one (or tap when there wasn't one), ReWire will give you a visual or vibratory cue, so you stay more focused and present, all session long.
ReWire is a highly efficient training practice for your mind: the more you use it, the stronger your concentration "muscles" become, making you more focused and present, during sessions and in daily life.
ReWire lays down the wisdom, gimmick-free. It's inspired by the ancient, powerful meditation practice of focusing on "cessation." (That's geek speak for whenever sensory events abruptly end.) ReWire IS meditation -- optimized.
During a session, you'll get instant feedback cues to keep your meditation on track. After your session, you'll get metrics on time, accuracy, and speed. Plus, you can track your progress over time and share results with friends. (That's ego-free boasting.) For the first time, you can see objective measurements of your mindfulness.
Think of it as your 3rd Millenium mandala. An interactive tool that makes meditation game-like and turbo-charged. Try it for 20 minutes and see why experienced meditators and newbies alike are calling it "shockingly effective." Technology + timeless wisdom = win!

RICHMOND, Va. — Juan Pablo Montoya was going to win his first race in 214 Sprint Cup starts on a NASCAR oval.
He had enough of a lead with just five laps remaining that all he needed was for the race to remain green and he could celebrate the victory in the Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond International Raceway.
Then Brian Vickers wrecked. And Montoya, who had led 67 laps, was in disbelief.
MORE: Busch-Stewart | Harvick win | Race results | Winners & Losers
Montoya pitted and restarted sixth — the first driver with four fresh tires —on the green-white-checkered restart. But he wound up finishing fourth while Kevin Harvick, who had restarted seventh, won the race.
"(I'm) pissed off," Montoya said. "Everybody … did an amazing job. We had a great car. Same as last week, we had a great car. The pit crew redeemed themselves tonight.
"They did a great job all day, no mistakes. That is what we needed."
What Montoya didn't need was starting in the outside lane for that final restart. His Earnhardt Ganassi Racing teammate, Jamie McMurray, restarted second on old tires and finished 26th.
"We restarted on the outside," Montoya said. "We were screwed. … When you restart on the outside and people have got really bad tires, everything packs up. And when you're on the outside, where are you going to jump?"
Montoya's main goal was not to wreck during the final two laps. He saw Harvick dart from beside him into the lead and knew the potential win had slipped away.
"When Harvick went by, I tried to get to the bottom and then the No. 22 (of Joey Logano) was there and I said, 'We've just got to get a finish,'" Montoya said. "Remember, before this we had six really bad weeks."
Montoya had not had a top-10 finish all season and his best finish in the last six weeks was 19th. Montoya had not finished better than he started in the past six races.
It was his first top-five finish since April 2011 at Martinsville.
"I'm happy," crew chief Chris Heroy said. "You can't control cautions. Harvick started on the inside of us and won the race with the same strategy.
"We did the right things."
A former Indianapolis 500 and Formula One race winner, Montoya is in his seventh year of Cup racing with two career victories, both on road courses.
"You can't make it that easy, man," Heroy said. "It's going to be special when it comes. It completes a resume for Juan that's pretty much unparalleled and up with the greats."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Your smart phone can do a lot, but could it save your life? New Apps are turning smart phones into personal security systems but Channel 4's Crime & Safety Analyst has some concerns.
The EmergenSee App is made to be simple. Just a touch of the app icon on the screen and you can transmit video, audio and a GPS signal to your friends, family and authorities. Basically, anyone that you've programmed in to the app. The website, www.emergenseeapp.com advertises that it's helpful on college campuses, for women in all situations, after a car wreck or even for someone dealing with workplace bullying. We had Ken Jefferson, Channel 4's Crime & Safety expert look it over.
"I think it has it has good points," Jefferson said. "It could be useful if your phone has that capability."
Still, Jefferson has concerns.
"If you're being assaulted, you're probably not going to videotape the person assaulting you. You're probably going to drop your phone or lose your phone or the person is probably going to grab the phone. Those are some of the glitches that are there," he said.
EmergenSee isn't the only app of its kind on the market. Campus Shield is being tested at The University of Florida. There are plans to have Campus Shield at other schools across the country, but Jefferson doesn't think these apps really benefit the people they are targeting.
"This is more of a benefit to seniors living on their own," Jefferson said. "I don't think young people are going to use this for the purpose intended."
Jefferson added that even though these apps can help in some ways, taking general safety precautions like being aware of your surroundings and traveling in groups, are the best protection.

"Betty & Coretta," Lifetime's original film about the friendship of Betty Shabazz and Coretta Scott King, reminds us of an elementary-school pageant in which the kids dress up as historical figures and give little speeches about their characters' lives.
It's a dreary term-paper of a movie, void of plot and content to jump from one historical event to the next without any sort of theme to connect them.
"Betty & Coretta" begins shortly before the assassination of Shabazz's husband, Malcolm X, in 1965 and lurches to her own tragic death in a fire in 1997. In between we meet a number of civil rights figures – Malcolm, Martin Luther King (Coretta's husband), Jesse Jackson, Myrlie Evers-Williams – most of whom spend their screen time explaining who they are and listing the events they participated in. With the exception of Malcolm's assassination – one of the film's meager dramatic highlights – we don't see these events; we hear about them.
The lead roles are played by R&B singer Mary J. Blige and veteran Angela Bassett. As Coretta, Bassett makes the most of the limited material. Unfortunately, hers is the lesser role, with Blige's Betty being the movie's true protagonist.
On the singer-turned-actor scale, Blige ranks closer to Elvis Presley than to Cher or Barbra Streisand. She subscribes to the read-then-emote school of acting, seemingly lacking the skill to do both at once.
Even the premise is difficult, as the film paints the women more as acquaintances than friends. A scene of them shopping for shoes – just like Carrie and Miranda might have in "Sex & the City"! – doesn't convince us that they shared more than a pair of iconic husbands.
The best part of the film really shouldn't even be a part of it. For no reason that makes any dramatic sense, Ruby Dee appears occasionally to offer a bit of her own recollections. Dee, a longtime actor and civil-rights activist, knew most of the people depicted in "Betty & Coretta" and was at many of the events. It would have been better simply to tape her for two hours than to construct this wooden tableau that passes for a movie.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) -- Utility crews in Pennsylvania are still trying to restore power to more than 320,000 customers who remain without power two days after an ice storm downed trees and power lines.
More than 286,000 customers were out Friday morning in the five-county Philadelphia area. Many schools closed for a third straight day.
Utilities say more than 30,000 customers were also without power in York County in central Pennsylvania. In Maryland, service was been restored to all but about 30,000 homes and businesses.
Officials have said they hope to have most of them back online by the end of the day Friday, but in some cases it may take much of the weekend.
Amtrak, meanwhile, says full service between Philadelphia and Harrisburg is being restored today after tracks have been cleared of fallen trees and debris.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
Utility crews aren't getting much relief from the weather as they work to restore electricity to hundreds of thousands of people in Pennsylvania and Maryland, two days after an ice storm downed power lines and trees.
Forecasters said the cold weather gripping the mid-Atlantic on Friday should remain in place through the weekend, and snow was possible.
Utility companies reported more than 325,000 customers without power in Pennsylvania, along with about 50,000 in Maryland. Officials have said they hope to have most of them back online by the end of the day Friday, but in some cases it may take much of the weekend.
PECO, the dominant electricity provider in the Philadelphia area, reports more than 288,000 customers out Friday morning in the five-county area. First Energy has about 27,550, almost all west of the city in York County, where there are also almost 4,000 PECO customers without power. And PPL reports 5,728 outages, most of them in Lancaster County, also west of Philadelphia.
Amtrak, meanwhile, says full service between Philadelphia and Harrisburg is being restored today after tracks have been cleared of fallen trees and debris, but riders may see delays of up to one-half hour.
Crews from as far away as Canada and Arkansas have been called in to help out, and officials are comparing the scope of the damage to a hurricane. Some who might not get power back for several days sought warmth - or at least somewhere to recharge their batteries - in shopping malls, public libraries and hastily established shelters.
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett said after an aerial survey of the storm's aftermath on Thursday that crews put a priority on restoring electricity to hospitals, nursing homes, communications facilities and sewer plants.
"This storm is in some respects as bad or maybe even worse than Hurricane Sandy," he said during an appearance in the Philadelphia suburbs. He said a shipment of electrical generators from the federal government was on its way to Pennsylvania.
He said he was urging electric utilities "to move as fast as they can, but they have to do it within the parameters of safety."
About 200 people took advantage of seven shelters in three suburban Philadelphia counties, according to the American Red Cross of Southeastern Pennsylvania. Shelters also were open in central Pennsylvania.
The Northeast's second winter storm of the week dumped more than a foot of snow in some places on Wednesday, forcing schools, businesses and government offices to close, snarling air travel and sending cars and trucks sliding on slippery roads and highways. It also left a thick coating of ice on trees and power lines.
"Many of them already had a coating of snow on them," said Mark Durbin, a spokesman for the utility FirstEnergy. "It's that weight that crushes our equipment. Multiply that by hundreds of locations."
Corbett said utility companies were ramping up to have about 5,000 people working to reconnect customers.
Thursday saw the lower 48 states record what is likely to be their lowest average temperature of the season, just 11 degrees.
Forecasters said it would remain chilly through the weekend in the mid-Atlantic, with daytime highs around freezing and overnight lows in the teens. Light snow was expected over the weekend.

there are a lot of functions with only one input and only one output.In this case, it would be very useful and easy to also have the function "Delete".Insert (very useful) .... but also "delete"This would avoid having to delete it, have pieces of broken wiring on both sides,remove the broken wiring .. and then rewire all.
It's not very user friendly, really.
Like this :
Yes, i know .. we have the keyboard shortcut "CTRL space + CTRL R" to do that,
but it would be much easier to have it directly in the menu, like "insert".
What should happen if the primitive has more inputs than outputs or if they are of different type?
When inserting, we can predict which input should be used by going slightly below or above the wire. Do you suggest a similar mechnism for "delete"?
In any case, the current "delete" functionality, (using the delete key, which breaks all wires) needs to be retained too, because that's what we sometimes need to do! To avoid confusion, your suggested new functionality should not be called "delete". How about "excise" or "remove"?
"remove" instead of "delete", yes it's a good idea.
"What should happen if the primitive has more inputs than outputs or if they are of different type?"
the same behavior as < ctrl_space + ctrl_r >

HEREFORD art students have been getting creative in Bristol.
The group of 30 visited Nelson Street, which is one of the West Country city's most famous spots for street art.
Students took a tour through the streets to Stokes Croft China to take part in a graffiti workshop and created a 40ft-long mural.
Other Hereford College of Art students took part in a stencilling workshop in the centre's ceramic studio.
Jacob Rock, who teaches level 2 Diploma in Art and Design, said: "This was all made possible through the generous grant funding of the Sylvia Short Educational Charity based in Hereford, whose support has enabled our students to benefit from this incredible experience and the opportunity to develop their skills in the creative industries."
Students will use their new skills to create artwork for their final project of their year which will be displayed at the Hereford College of Arts Summer Show from June 14 to June 22 at the Folly Lane and College Road campuses.

Eight Points, Nine Seconds Review: Jared Wade: Breaking Down a Broke-Down Offense
This week, the Pacers have edged out a win in Chicago and out-classed Portland at
home to bring their record on the season above .500 for the first time since
November 3. Given how depressing this team looked over its first 10 games of the
year, that is actually a big step forward. But for a franchise that entered the season
expecting to have home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs, this
season has still been a disappointment.
I always tell everyone that November in the NBA is glorified preseason. New players
are still meshing with the old guard, guys are recovering from injury, some players
need to get into game shape, and the collective rust of the offseason must be shed.
Still, with 19 games of evidence, its officially fair to say it: the Pacers offense is
Everyone I talk to asks me why. Why cant a team with four capable scorers in its
starting lineup put any points on the board? How is that a team whose starting
unit(s) produced some of the best numbers in the league last year (especially in
the playoffs) get so, so, so very bad just by losing Danny Granger, who hasnt
made an All-Star team since 2009?
The short answer is: I dont know. The longer answer is: I can identify some of
the problems.
Well get to those soon.
First, just take a look at their game log so far this season in terms of the Four
Factors. Cumulatively, the Pacers have put together the second-to-worst offense
in the league this season (in front of only the Wizards). Somehow, it looks even
worse if you break it down by game. They have finished only 4 games out of 19
that with an above-league-average offense.
The only reason they have 10 wins is because they have the leagues second best
defense (and best in eFG% against). And more than that, the only way they have
been able to eek out, lets say, four of these wins is because excellent play down

Welcome to Loud City: JA Sherman: Durant and Westbrook are passing the test
Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook continue to evolve as playmakers.
The Thunder offense has a new look this year. Forced to abandon the iso-heavy
offense that carried the day a year ago, the Thunder have made great strides in
executing actual offensive sets with intelligent playmaking, and the transition is
beginning to take hold on a regular basis. The Thunder have run off five
consecutive wins (3 against potential playoff teams) by an average winning
margin of 22 points. What has made these wins satisfying is that in a way, the
Thunder are still learning to play consistent offensive basketball, but because of
the way they are learning to play, their offensive talent is better leveraged even
when they play a good defensive team like the 76ers. The result is that the
Thunder offense is improving and better yet, the team passing is one the rise.
OKC is now 7th in the league at 22.7 assists per game, whereas in the past they
had been almost always dead last.
There were two passing plays in particular in the Thunder's win over the Hornets
that I felt were indicative of this positive growth. In fact, these plays are
becoming a regularity so I feel that it is important to point them out now
specifically because if you are coming late to the Thunder party, you might not
know that these plays rarely worked in the past. Basic sets like pick-and-rolls
would get rushed, fast break opportunities would get wasted, and we were left
wondering what would happen when the young Thunder would fix these
fundamental issues. Our patience is being rewarded now.
1. Dragging the Net
In this first pass, Kevin Durant collects the rebound and brings the ball up the
court himself, much like LeBron James might do. It is not a fast break opportunity,
as the Hornets are all in good defensive position. What Durant does once he gets
to the 3-point line is an extremely subtle but noticeable playmaking read; he does
what I like to call 'dragging the net.' Here is the video sequence, first
uninterrupted and then with some annotation.
Even though Durant can see that the Hornets are back in time, he also sees that
there is nobody protecting the rim. If he can break down one defender, an easy
basket awaits.
In the past, (and probably still in the future), Durant would drive hard at the rim
himself. In this case, he eyes an opportunity to break down both his own man as
well as his teammate Thabo Sefolosha's man, Greivis Vasquez. After a nifty move
to elude Al-Farouq Aminu, Durant sets his sites on Vasquez and engages with this
second Hornets defender. By dragging his fishing net across the Hornets' perimeter
defense, Durant has occupied 2 different players who are chasing him horizontally,
thereby freeing up Sefolosha to cut straight to the rim. Durant's playmaking
created the space and Sefolosha read the play by cutting as soon as Durant made
his move.
The biggest key...CONTINUE READING AT WELCOME TO LOUD CITY
The Classical: Danny Chau: Why We Watch - Perry Jones III, The Next
Perry Jones III is an uncommon talent. Everything else about him is unfinished.
What better reason to watch could there be?
For most my life I thought I would be able to escape the trappings of a life built
around superstition. My father is the most logical man I know; my older brother
falls in the same quadrant. But my mother could not be more attuned to signs and
coincidences, to fate and faith. I am the last link in the chain, so I figured itd only
be a matter of time before I confirmed my own suspicion that a servitude to mystic
semiotics is an inheritable trait. I always was a mommas boy.
My tentative relationship with the supernatural reached a weird zenith, quite
logically if also a little weirdly, during the 2012 NBA Draft. Perry Jones III was
freefalling down the draft board, as all the reporters and draftologists had
predicted. Apparently his reticence on the court during his two years at Baylor
a dazzling moment or stretch of moments; longer stretches of self-conscious
invisibilityhad induced a parallel reticence in NBA executives. Or maybe it was
the word around the league, amorphous but all the more menacing for it, that
Jones wouldnt last five years because of some previously undisclosed knee issue.
Here was a ticking time bomb, a player whose hindrances cast a long shadow
over his potential as a transcendent NBA player. Teams just didnt want to take
the risk.
They didnt want to take the risk 10 years ago, either.
Qyntel Woods was a top-five lottery talent in 2002. Everyone agreed. He was the
first next Tracy McGrady, which makes sense, considering that McGrady was
already 22 when Qyntel declared for the draft. Surely the next McGrady couldnt
have arrived any sooner. Its hard to embrace the next when we were just getting
settled in with the original of the species. But Woods stock took a significant dip by
draft night. Maybe it was his attitude. Maybe it was the junior college stigma at the
time, with JuCo trailblazers like Kedrick Brown ruining it for everyone thereafter.
Whatever the case, he fell to the 21st pick, and the Portland Trail Blazers.
And so a decade later, watching Perry Jones IIIs descent, I felt an alien rush of
revelation. I had become a messenger of a 10-year prophecy. Jones was to be
picked 21st; he would begin the cycle anew as a tale of redemption, only this time
with a more fortunate timeline. He would be the redeemer of Woods ill-fated
career, a decade on, a world different.

§ 416.913. Medical and other evidence of your impairment(s).
(a) Sources who can provide evidence to establish an impairment. We need evidence from acceptable medical sources to establish whether you have a medically determinable impairment(s). See § 416.908. Acceptable medical sources are—
(1) Licensed physicians (medical or osteopathic doctors);
(2) Licensed or certified psychologists. Included are school psychologists, or other licensed or certified individuals with other titles who perform the same function as a school psychologist in a school setting, for purposes of establishing intellectual disability, learning disabilities, and borderline intellectual functioning only;
(3) Licensed optometrists, for purposes of establishing visual disorders only (except, in the U.S. Virgin Islands, licensed optometrists, for the measurement of visual acuity and visual fields only). (See paragraph (f) of this section for the evidence needed for statutory blindness);
(4) Licensed podiatrists, for purposes of establishing impairments of the foot, or foot and ankle only, depending on whether the State in which the podiatrist practices permits the practice of podiatry on the foot only, or the foot and ankle; and
(5) Qualified speech-language pathologists, for purposes of establishing speech or language impairments only. For this source, "qualified" means that the speech-language pathologist must be licensed by the State professional licensing agency, or be fully certified by the State education agency in the State in which he or she practices, or hold a Certificate of Clinical Competence from the American-Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
(b) Medical reports. Medical reports should include—
(2) Clinical findings (such as the results of physical or mental status examinations);
(3) Laboratory findings (such as blood pressure, X-rays);
(4) Diagnosis (statement of disease or injury based on its signs and symptoms);
(5) Treatment prescribed with response, and prognosis; and
(6) A statement about what you can still do despite your impairment(s) based on the acceptable medical source's findings on the factors under paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(5) of this section (except in statutory blindness claims). Although we will request a medical source statement about what you can still do despite your impairment(s), the lack of the medical source statement will not make the report incomplete. See § 416.927.
(c) Statements about what you can still do. At the administrative law judge and Appeals Council levels, we will consider residual functional capacity assessments made by State agency medical and psychological consultants and other program physicians and psychologists to be "statements about what you can still do" made by nonexamining physicians and psychologists based on their review of the evidence in the case record. Statements about what you can still do (based on the acceptable medical source's findings on the factors under paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(5) of this section) should describe, but are not limited to, the kinds of physical and mental capabilities listed as follows (See §§ 416.927 and 416.945(c)):
(1) If you are an adult, the acceptable medical source's opinion about your ability, despite your impairment(s), to do work-related activities such as sitting, standing, walking, lifting, carrying, handling objects, hearing, speaking, and traveling;
(2) If you are an adult, in cases of mental impairment(s), the acceptable medical source's opinion about your ability to understand, to carry out and remember instructions, and to respond appropriately to supervision, coworkers, and work pressures in a work setting; and
(3) If you are a child, the medical source's opinion about your functional limitations compared to children your age who do not have impairments in acquiring and using information, attending and completing tasks, interacting and relating with others, moving about and manipulating objects, caring for yourself, and health and physical well-being.
(d) Other sources. In addition to evidence from the acceptable medical sources listed in paragraph (a) of this section, we may also use evidence from other sources to show the severity of your impairment(s) and how it affects your ability to work or, if you are a child, how you typically function compared to children your age who do not have impairments. Other sources include, but are not limited to—
(1) Medical sources not listed in paragraph (a) of this section (for example, nurse-practitioners, physicians' assistants, naturopaths, chiropractors, audiologists, and therapists);
(2) Educational personnel (for example, school teachers, counselors, early intervention team members, developmental center workers, and daycare center workers);
(3) Public and private social welfare agency personnel; and
(4) Other non-medical sources (for example, spouses, parents and other caregivers, siblings, other relatives, friends, neighbors, and clergy).
(e) Completeness. The evidence in your case record, including the medical evidence from acceptable medical sources (containing the clinical and laboratory findings) and other medical sources not listed in paragraph (a) of this section, information you give us about your medical condition(s) and how it affects you, and other evidence from other sources, must be complete and detailed enough to allow us to make a determination or decision about whether you are disabled or blind. It must allow us to determine—
(1) The nature and severity of your impairment(s) for any period in question;
(2) Whether the duration requirement described in § 416.909 is met; and
(3) Your residual functional capacity to do work-related physical and mental activities, when the evaluation steps described in § 416.920(e) or (f)(1) apply, or, if you are a child, how you typically function compared to children your age who do not have impairments.
(f) Evidence we need to establish statutory blindness. If you are applying for benefits on the basis of statutory blindness, we will require an examination by a physician skilled in diseases of the eye or by an optometrist, whichever you may select.

New Limited Edition Run To Meet Fan Demand...
The Four Horsemen's exclusive Power Lords: Power Soldiers and Elite Power Soldiers (see HERE) were far more popular than they expected. The allotted amount of 250 pieces sold out at the 2013 Power Con in less than 40 minutes and the 250 pieces that they had set aside to sell on Store Horsemen sold out in less than 4 minutes.
To compensate for this quick sell-out and to give everyone that wanted them a chance, the Four Horsemen are going to put these figures back up for pre-order at StoreHorsemen.com. Those that missed out will have 72 hours beginning Thursday, September 19th at 3:00pm and running until Sunday, September 22nd at 3:00pm. Each figure will retail for $10 (plus shipping). The Horsemen will then run however many orders for each figure that they get during that time period. Once the sale ends, the ability to get those two figures ends. These figures will have stickers on the outsides of their poly-bags which will be numbered #251 and up (the figures that have sold so far are numbered 1 to 250) and will be placed into orders randomly. This new batch of Power Soldiers is expected to arrive in mid-November.
