Thinking about this mind-boggling move another way: the hedge fund held a little under 14,000 shares of the fast food operator at the end of Q3, and one quarter later, this position spiked to more than 5.1 million shares.
McDonald's has generated a modest mid-single-digit return in 2013 thus far, and the company did beat Wall Street's earnings estimates when it reported Q4 results in January. Worries over last month's less than stellar same-store sales numbers in Europe and parts of Asia have weighed on the stock of late, but analysts' average price target still foresees a 6%-7% upside from current levels.

Business as usual
Hogs on the Highway
Bad Livers
Sugar Hill Records
I Hate These Songs
Dale Watson
Hightone Records
At times our need for--or at least appreciation of--the brand-new and different leads us into a baby-bathwater scenario, particularly in the realm of music. If an artist or act does the same thing twice in a row, quelle horreur!--they're out of ideas, going stale, yaddayadda.
Not so, say these two Texas releases. Both hardcore country guy Dale Watson and mutant bluegrass group the Bad Livers have released just the album you'd expect from them--thank goodness. It's a particularly welcome reassurance for Livers fans, who were distressed last year when fiddler-accordeonista Ralph White tired of the road and quit touring with the band. As he indicated then, Hogs shows that White still enjoys working in the studio, and his appearance next to new guitarist and mandolin player Bob Grant--with guest shots by Austin hotshots Erik Hokkanen (fiddle) and Steve James (mandolin)--makes this a fine transitional album.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
Although they first gained fame as the bluegrass group that did Metallica and other unusual covers, most of the Livers' punk inspiration these days is expressed by their attitude of total freedom and acceptance. Banjoist and guitar man Danny Barnes remains the group's principal songwriter, and few can
create a brand-new song that sounds as old: songs of his like the title track and "Dallas, Texas" sound much like the traditional "Cluck Old Hen" that's also included. The Livers aren't just preservationists worshiping at a bluegrass altar, however--you can detect a modern mind behind the humor and commentary of the lyrics, and Bill Monroe wouldn't know what the hell to make of the surreally despairing "Falling Down the Stairs (With a Pistol in My Hand)."
Dale Watson's I Hate These Songs is another collection of short, sweet--or sad--songs from the Buck Owens-Bakersfield school that he teaches so well. A tour of traditional song types--hungover regret, workingman's pride, heartbreak--the 14 songs on the album are delivered with a humor, insight, and flat-out accomplishment that makes you realize that we still don't have enough Dale Watson songs out there. Particularly catchy are "Pity Party," "Wine Don't Lie," and a rollicking recovery anthem, "Hair of the Dog," with its all-too-true refrain of "I swear I'll never drink again, again." Watson's deep baritone grows more evocative with each album, and the utterly perfect pedal steel provided by Lloyd Maines--as sharp, crystalline, and full of beautiful precision as ice crystals--is such a perfect match that you wish there was some way for Maines to join the rest of Watson's Lonestar backing band on the road.

Arundel, West Sussex - (Lewinsky Prequel Mess): The Clinton presidential era fiction factory is headed for a massive pre-Obama inauguration shock.
The feckless GOP-fellating lothario stands accused of abusing his presidential orifice powers by using the feeble 'Millenium Bug' excuse to expunge the internet of all reference to his official visits to Arundel Castle in the UK.
The Clintons stayed at the stunning medieval citadel during the July 1995 UK/NATO 50 Years of Peace In Europe celebrations.
Returning the following May Clinton was interviewed at the awesome castllated fortress about his 1996 Presidential re-election campaign by BBC Newsnight presenter Jeremy Paxman.
But now all mention of the visits has been erased, including official archive records from the eponymous Presidential Library in Little Rock, Arkansas.
However legal owners of the stunning medieval citadel are now planning a timely memory-jerk with a video release of the Clinton sleepovers.
The American/British oil and gas moguls purchased the castle lock, stock and barrel some 25 years ago after successive Dukes of Norfolk had let it run into rack and ruin after incurring heinous gambling debts.
The tycoons paid off the fascism-colluding Norfolk family's huge mortgage arrears and repossession charges, refurbished the ancient monument and even let the decrepit old Dukey and his freakish Popish family rent a few private apartments 'for old time's sake'.
'When they found out about Clinton's 'Millenium Bug' cover-up the trap was set!" a source close to the mystery pair said today.
"The current transit of Pluto in the sign of Capricorn now promises to be one hell of a karmic payback time," Arundel Castle's chief janitor chuckled tonight.

Mangaluru: Members of the Mangalore Bar Association staged a protest demanding the resignation of Justice Bhaskar Rao, in front of the Lokayukta office at Urwa Stores here, on July 10.
Addressing the protesters, President of the Mangalore Bar Association, S P Chengappa said that in our country, there are a number of scams. The former Lokayukta Justice N Venkatachala and Justice Santhosh Hegde brought glory to the country by fighting against corruption and initiating action against the corrupt. But today, we have one, Ashwin Kumar who is propagating corruption right from the house of the Lokayukta. Justice Bhaskar Rao instead of taking action against Ashwin, is promoting corruption. The purpose of the Lokayukta is to curb corruption and take action against the guilty, but Justice Bhasker Rao is protecting his own family members."
"Today, we find corruption in all sectors such as in government offices, revenue department, police department etc but, in Mangalore, the Lokayukta is not taking any action against such people. The Deputy Commissioner has said that CCTV cameras should be installed in all government offices. Instead of installing CCTV in government offices, let them install CCTVs in the Lokayukta office first." he said.
"When there is injustice and corruption, the Mangalore Bar Association has always raised its voice and demanded justice. When the Lokayukta himself is involved in corruption, he does not have any right to continue as Lokayukta. He should resign and hand over the case to the CBI." He also said that the Lokayukta should be free from corruption and should be a role model to others. "Let the Lokayukta be an autonomous body to prevent interference from political parties. When the Lokayukta itself promotes corruption, then how can we fight corruption? In Mangalore, the Lokayukta is not active; therefore, the Lokayukta office should be shut down," he demanded.
He also demanded that Rao resign from his post to preserve the sanctity of the Lokayukta office, and that people in the country identify it as an establishment that fights against corruption.
Later when the protesters tried to lock the front door of the Lokayukta building, they were arrested by the police.

PTPmu (BK2) Mouse mAb #4485
This product is discontinued
Gallery: PTPmu (BK2) Mouse mAb #4485
PTPmu Mouse mAb detects endogenous levels of total PTPmu protein. This antibody does not cross react with other receptor tyrosine phosphatases.Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology: Mouse
Monoclonal antibody (isotype: IgG2a) is produced by immunizing mice with a synthetic peptide corresponding to the amino-terminal residues of human PTPmu.
Receptor tyrosine phosphatase PTPmu has an extracellular segment characteristic of adhesion molecules: an MEM domain, an Ig domain and four fibronectin III like (FN III) repeats (1,2). PTPmu is proteolytically cleaved into two noncovalently associated fragments: one is the extracellular domain, the other includes the transmembrane and the intracellular catalytic domains. Both fragments are approximately 100 kDa (3). The extracellular domain mediates cell-cell adhesion in a homophilic, Ca2+ independent manner (1,2). PTPmu associates with multiple cadherins (4). It is able to restore E-cadherin-dependent adhesion in human prostate cancer, and is required for N-cadherin-mediated neurite outgrowth (5,6). The phosphatase activity seems to be essential for the latter function but is dispensable for the former (5,6). PTPmu also associates with and recruits a scaffold protein, RACK (receptor for activated protein C kinase), to cell-cell contact sites (7). Both PKCdelta and src seem to be involved in this process (6,7).

2012 Honda Civic ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
All-new version evolves to meet varied expectations.
It's been a bestseller for decades, more than 8.8 million sold in the U.S. since its 1973 introduction, and the latest redesign is aimed at making the Honda Civic the absolute number one player among an increasingly capable crop of compact cars.
The all-new 2012 Honda Civic is the ninth generation of the Civic, and it has a long, distinguished record of engineering innovation. As has been the case in previous iterations, there's some of that in the 2012 Civic models, too, aimed at giving it the broadest possible reach in its market segment.
On the other hand, it's not really the gee-whiz breakthrough that's distinguished some previous generations, particularly in terms of engine innovation. Though to be fair, Honda has imbued some models with a little more thrust while simultaneously raising fuel economy ratings right across the board.
Perhaps more important, the latest Civic will be available in its broadest-ever array of models: The DX, LX, and EX sedans and coupes come with a 140-horsepower 1.8-liter engine expected to get 28 mpg in the city, 39 mpg on the highway when equipped with the 5-speed automatic transmission.
The Civic Hybrid continues, with efficiency improvements for 2012. Although Honda has a specific hybrid model, the Insight, the Hybrid returns to the Civic lineup with increased power in its integrated electric booster motor and deeper electric power reserves in a new lithium-ion battery pack.
For those who don't wish to pay the hybrid premium, there's the 2012 Civic HF, with exceptional fuel stinginess from a regular internal combustion power train designed for thrift. Fuel economy is up in standard Civics, too.
The Civic Si returns as the high output member of the lineup, offered once again in coupe and sedan body styles. With the demise of the S2000 sports car, it's the only high-performance car in Honda's lineup. The 2012 Civic Si features a new engine, a smidgen of additional horsepower, and substantially more torque. The 2.4-liter DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder is rated at 201 hp and 170 lb-ft of torque. The added torque makes the Si easier to drive around town without constant downshifting, significant because a 6-speed manual is the only transmission offered.
Though completely redesigned, the 2012 Civic looks similar to the previous-generation version. Its exterior dimensions are about the same, though the wheelbase is slightly shorter.
The cabin is attractive with quality materials and nicely designed seats with lots of adjustment and a new driver's information display. The available 160-watt audio system sounds very good and Bluetooth is available for hands-free cellphone use.
Underway, the 2012 Civic is creamy smooth and exceptionally quiet. The brakes are easy to modulate for smooth stops in everyday driving and will stop the car quickly when called upon. Handling is average, so the standard models do not rate high on the fun meter.
The 2012 Honda Civic comes in six models. The Civic DX, LX, EX, and EX-L are available in coupe and sedan versions and come with a 140-horsepower 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine.
Civic DX Sedan ($15,805) and DX Coupe ($15,605) come with cloth upholstery, manually adjusted driver seat, power windows, tilt/telescope steering column, 12-volt power outlet, rear window defroster, fold-down rear seatback, i-MID driver information display with Turn-By-Turn Directions, clock, dual trip meters, two-speed intermittent wipers, black outside mirrors and door handles. The DX comes with a 5-speed manual or 5-speed automatic ($800).
Civic LX Sedan ($17,855) and LX Coupe ($17,655) upgrade with air conditioning, 160-watt AM/FM/CD audio with four speakers, USB audio interface, MP3 auxiliary jack, speed-sensitive volume, auto-up/down driver's window, power locks with auto-lock feature, remote trunk release, illuminated window and lock controls, cruise control, illuminated steering wheel controls, customizable settings, map lights, floor mats, body-colored mirrors and door handles. The 5-speed manual is standard, but the 5-speed automatic is available for the LX Sedan ($18,655) and LX Coupe ($18,455).
Civic EX Sedan ($20,505) comes standard with the 5-speed automatic. The Civic EX Coupe offers a choice of 5-speed manual ($19,705) or automatic ($20,505). Civic EX includes six-speaker audio system, Bluetooth, 60/40 split rear seat, upgraded rear-seat accommodations, one-touch power moonroof with tilt feature. The EX Sedan and EX Coupe are available with Navi and XM radio ($22,005).
Civic EX-L ($21,955) Coupe and Sedan upgrade to leather-trimmed interior and heated front seats. The Civic EX-L is also available with Navi and XM Radio ($23,455).
Civic HF ($19,455) sedan is designed for maximum fuel efficiency with specially tuned 1.8-liter engine and 5-speed automatic. Civic GX sedan runs natural gas and comes with the 5-speed automatic.
Civic Hybrid ($24,050) sedan is available with Navi and XM Radio ($25,550) or Leather ($25,250) or both ($26,750).
Civic Si Sedan ($22,405) and Coupe ($22,205) feature a high-performance 2.4-liter engine and 6-speed manual. Navi and XM Radio are available for the Si Sedan ($23,905) and Si Coupe ($23,705).
Given a budget and a mission, no designer is likely to leave well enough alone, and that's true of the new 2012 Civic lineup.
But this is a more of a challenge than one might think. The eighth-generation Civic has been successful throughout its six-plus years, and its sleek lines still look good.
On the other hand, success notwithstanding, no automotive design lasts indefinitely. So the design leader has to find a way to retain the successful elements and still imbue the product with a sense of newness.
The new cars sport redesigned fascias, updated rear ends, and new character lines, but the basic shape, which lead designer Toshiyuki Okumoto calls a 'one motion form,' has the same flowing aero look. Although the wheelbase is slightly shorter, body dimensions are essentially identical, and it takes a practiced eye to tell new from old at a glance.
Although the sheetmetal is basically all new, Honda didn't take any chances here. Whether this will be a plus over the long service life of the design remains to be seen.
The distinction between Civic generation eight and nine isn't as dramatic as the change from seven to eight, when the slick aero shape first emerged. Honda has chosen to spread its development budget over refinements and a broader model range.
Quality materials, attractive design, and colorful instrument lighting give the Civic interiors a look that's a notch or two above compact norms. The seats are well shaped, nicely bolstered (by family sedan standards), widely adjustable, with a probability of all-day drive comfort and very good upholstery wear characteristics.
Though the instrument display has been invigorated with new colored backlighting, it will look familiar to those who have had some experience with the generation eight layout. The bi-plane look continues in the new car, with important info repeated at the top of the dash, allowing the driver to scan with minimum visual redirection.
Forward sightlines, always the driver's first line of defense, were good in the previous generation, but even better here. We appreciated the thinner windshield pillars and mini-window set in the angle where the windshield pillar intersects the car's hood. A lot of new cars have thick A-pillars that can obstruct the driver's view of pedestrians and other vehicles, but not here.
The biggest change inside the car, though is the new I-MID, or Intelligent Multi-Information Display. A toggle on the left-hand steering wheel spoke allows the driver to sift through a wide variety of vehicle info, and the optional satellite navigation system includes a voice recognition function.
Other electronic elements include Bluetooth hands-free phone capability and a very good 160-watt audio system.
All of this, of course, is in addition to the more common comfort/convenience features we've come to expect: power everything, including a moonroof; cruise control; a tilt/telescope leather-wrapped steering wheel; a 12-volt outlet; and a 60/40 split-folding rear seatback that expands cargo capacity.
Driving Impression
Drawn from Honda's official national press preview, which consisted of a single afternoon with very little seat time on busy roads devoid of any real challenge, plus a few runs on an autocross course laid out on a football stadium parking lot, our dynamic impressions are necessarily limited.
However, while limited, they're also generally positive, within the context of the normal mission parameters of a small family sedan. The latest Civic delivers creamy ride quality, with exceptionally low interior noise levels.
Braking seems reasonably powerful with the four-wheel-disc system that comes with the EX trim level, and the pedal feel makes for easy modulation.
Handling response can be classified as contemporary, neither sporty nor sluggish, although the electric power steering leaves something to be desired in terms of what it tells the driver about what the front wheels are doing.
On the other hand, while the Civic sedan may lack something in terms of driver involvement, and its fun to drive factor is difficult to detect, it is absolutely and totally predictable, no surprises, no false moves. There's considerable body roll in hard cornering, the tradeoff for excellent ride quality. But the overall level of all-around dynamic competence is hard to fault.
The Civic DX, LX, EX, and EX-L come with a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, single overhead cam rated at 140 horsepower and 128 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy figures were not official but are expected to be about 28 mpg in the city/39 mpg on the highway. Honda recommends regular unleaded gas.
The Civic HF is equipped with a specially tuned version of the same engine with the same power ratings but with slightly higher fuel economy, expected to be 29/41 mpg city/highway.
The Civic GX runs on natural gas using a specially prepared 1.8-liter SOHC 16-valve four-cylinder rated at 110 hp and 106 lb-ft of torque.
The Civic Hybrid pairs a 1.5-liter SOHC 16-valve four-cylinder engine rated at 110 hp and 127 lb-ft of torque with a 23-hp electric motor assist. Fuel economy is expected to be about 44/44 mpg.
The sporty Civic Si features a 2.4-liter DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder rated at 201 hp and 170 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy is expected to be 22/31 mpg city/highway.
The 2012 Honda Civics are completely redesigned and have solid credentials in all the right categories for cars in this class: good looks, high quality, a great durability record, a first rate comfort quotient, high marks for safety features, competitive fuel economy, and excellent value. Has the dazzle factor diminished? Maybe. But given all the other virtues, that may not matter.

Honda Civic EX Sedan with navigation ($22,005).The Civic Hybrid is the flagship example of Honda's Integrated Motor Assist hybrid technology in an efficient practical package. The Civic Hybrid sedan is powered by a 1.5-liter four-cylinder gas engine and a light-weight, brushless electric motor that is sandwiched between the engine and the CVT transmission. A lithium-ion battery is now used in place of the nickel-metal hydride batteries used previously because it is lighter yet more powerful. Combined, the gas engine and electric motor produce 110 horsepower and 127lb.ft. of torque. Standard safety features include electronic stability and traction control, anti-lock brakes with brake assist, six airbags and a tire pressure monitoring system.

One Direction Star Tweets Support for 'Duck Dynasty's Willie Robertson, Receives Backlash
One Direction singer Liam Payne is in hot water after sending a supportive tweet to "Duck Dynasty" star Willie Robertson. Fans are upset with Payne, who they claim is showing support to someone who made anti-gay remarks in an interview last month.
"@williebosshog huge love to you/your family huge respect for your business prosperities and the family values you still all behold. Big fan," Payne tweeted.
His words immediately set off a firestorm of responses from fans and those who follow the popular singer. Many were upset that Payne would support Robertson after he made controversial remarks during an interview with "GQ" magazine last month. Robertson was suspended from the popular series but recently reinstated.
"Wow. Very confused and disappointed by this @Real_Liam_Payne," tweeted Tyler Oakley, a popular YouTube personality with over 1 million followers on Twitter. "This literally changes everything…"
"Being a fan of someones show and the way they still hold a family together doesn't mean I am ok with all they say," Payne later tweeted in response to all of the comments.
Other fans, though, have started a Twitter campaign with the phrase "#LiamWeStandByYou" in order to combat all the negative reactions he's received.
"#liamday I'm so proud of you. You are my hero @Real_Liam_Payne #LiamWeStandByYou," tweeted 23luglio2010.
"We've got your back @Real_Liam_Payne! #1DFamily," added One Direction Germany.
"Fox & Friends" posted a photo of Payne and Robertson expressing themselves with cartoon bubbles, though it's not known whether Robertson actually replied to Payne's comments.
"Thanks bro. Congrats to u boys as well. Y'all keep rockin, we'll keep quackin. Stay strong in this nutty world," Robertson says in the photo.
Payne continued to defend himself against comments from followers and went on a bit of a rant against all the publicity he was receiving because of his comments.
"I can't do anything without being judged u try that and write about it. Sick of all this bull I'll be back again when the freedom of speech law is back and people don't believe to [sic] much into the [expletive] they read," Payne tweeted.
One Direction bandmates have yet to make a statement about the situation.

Women are increasingly displaying their purchasing power in the tech space.
From gadgets to social networking sites, some of the biggest product launches in tech have found their success, at least in part, by creating a product or tool that women love.
Women are a great demographic to target because they are more educated and are earning more money than ever before. Add that to the fact that they are getting married and having kids later than they ever have and you see why they are a great group to target.
Be warned though, targeting women can backfire. When Dell wanted to sell more laptops to women, they created Della, which was supposedly a more feminine way to shop for laptops. The site didn't last.
Now check out these examples of companies that got it right.

Govt gets it left and right
Opposition parties rejected the Union Budget 2013-14 on Thursday, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over lack of "ambition" and the Left over checks on expenditure to reduce fiscal deficit despite forgoing revenue from corporates. HT reports.india Updated: Mar 01, 2013 00:48 IST
Opposition parties rejected the Union Budget 2013-14 on Thursday, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over lack of "ambition" and the Left over checks on expenditure to reduce fiscal deficit despite forgoing revenue from corporates.
The BJP accused the government of resorting to "jugglery" with nothing to boost manufacturing or agriculture, increase GDP growth rate, bring down inflation or strengthen the rupee. "The finance minister found himself in a helpless situation with very little elbow space," said senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley. "He has therefore presented a budget that only makes certain cosmetic changes in the policy and taxation structure. Though verbose in content, the budget is low in ambition."
Adding to the criticism, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj said not once was the "aam admi" mentioned. "He announced a cosmetic bank for women, nothing to boost employment for the youth and nothing new for the poor, except cash transfer of subsidies that they already had."
"The budget lacks imagination to think beyond neoliberal prescriptions and relied exclusively on reducing fiscal deficits by curbing expenditures…," the CPM politburo said. "The finance minister expressed concern about the fiscal deficit which stands at a revised estimate of Rs 5,20,925 crore. But this is lower than the revenue forgone - Rs 5,73,630 crore. This means fiscal deficit is primarily caused by sops given to the rich. The burden of meeting this deficit is passed on to the poor by means of cutting expenditures."
"This budget amounts to putting the economy on ventilator, even as the FM seems incapable of diagnosing the disease and treating it," said K N Balagopal, CPM member of Rajya Sabha.
A BJP release signed by Swaraj and Jaitley hinted that the allocations in budget estimates for next year weren't impressive when compared to the current year's estimates.
"On the Health Mission, the current year's budget provides Rs 18,515 crore; the revised estimate is Rs 15,411 crore. The next year's estimate (Rs 21,239 crore) has marginally increased the amount by about Rs 3,000 crore."
It added: "MGNREGA originally provided Rs 40,000 crore. In the past two years this amount has been reduced to Rs 33,000 crore. The current year's actual estimates are at Rs 29,677 crore. Next year's actual expenditure may be even less. The FM has optically brought down the proposed target back to Rs 33,000 crore knowing it will not be utilised."

What the iPad mini might look like in black
The iPad mini has to be the new king of rumored devices since the iPhone 5 has finally launched. At one point, that title belonged to the Apple television set that was so oft rumored, but now that has been put to the wayside while the iPad mini gets a new rumor every day, if not hour. So in the craziness that is the never-ending Apple rumor mill, Gizmodo had a graphic designer put together some mockups of what the iPad mini could look like in silver and black, with a random blue one thrown in as well. I must say, I don't plan on buying the iPad mini at the moment if and when one is released, but if that black render is anything near what the real one ends up, I may have to reconsider. I bought the black iPhone 5 because I'm a huge fan of black metal, so I would probably cave with a black iPad. The blue one is designed to look like the same style as the new iPod touch, when actually might look very nice when the others are released. We will have to see, and keep fingers crossed, that this is what they may look like. See the gallery below.
What do you think? Look interesting to you? What would you think of other colors? Let us know in the comments.

The tug-o-war between warm sunshine and cold wintry days has left us feeling like Spring will never be here. But it's here, along with some of the seasonal unpleasantries it brings. In Chinese Medicine, each season has a different organ, taste, color, and so on, associated with it. The Spring is the Wood Element, with the Liver/Gallbladder organs taking the spotlight. The Liver is the detox maestro of the body, which is why many suggest doing a cleanse during the spring. Because the Liver is the organ of the Spring, it's more susceptible to become out of balance, causing symptoms like seasonal allergies, headaches, acne, stress, irritability, PMS (yes…you read that right! PMS shouldn't occur if the Liver is happy), dry skin, dry eyes, and muscle aches. If doing a full-on fledge seems like the end of the world, here are some easy and simple tips to gentle detox the Liver and cleanse the body, all while maintaining your sanity.
- Green is the color associated with the Liver. Eat more green foods like spinach, arugula, celery, algae (chlorella and spirulina are great options), green apples, micro-greens, watercress, basil…the list goes on!
- Bitter foods help gently detox the liver. Try adding dandelion greens to a salad or drinking chamomile tea sweetened with a touch of Raw Honey in the evening.
- Raw Apple Cider Vinegar (it must be raw) is known to be a miracle worker in detoxing the Liver. Try taking at least three tablespoons a day. This is a fantastic tip to heal seasonal allergies, as well as acne and breakouts.
- Exercise is especially important during the Spring to help eliminate toxins from the body, assisting the Liver in doing it's work.
- Give your body a rest, even if it's just for a day. Try replacing coffee with Green Tea, which is loaded with antioxidants, or try a Green Juice in the morning instead of your usual breakfast.

WASHINGTON (AP) Creating his own field of dreams, President Bush pledged Friday to help revitalize interest in the national pastime with regular T-ball games on the White House South Lawn. ''We've got a pretty good-size back yard here,'' said the baseball team owner-turned president.
Bases will be pounded into the president's back yard and wooden bleachers assembled within a fly ball of the Oval Office so boys and girls can whack baseballs off tees, and slow-footed Cabinet secretaries can coach or cheer.
With more than 40 Hall of Fame baseball players at his side, some of them his boyhood heroes, Bush spoke with feeling about a sport he said has fallen on ''pretty tough times.''
''Baseball isn't just in the stats,'' he said. ''It isn't just the money. It really isn't who makes the Hall of Fame. As much as anything else, baseball is the style of a Willie Mays or the determination of a Hank Aaron or the endurance of a Mickey Mantle, the discipline of Carl Yastrzemski, the drive of Eddie Mathews, the reliability of a (Al) Kaline or a (Joe) Morgan, the grace of a (Joe) DiMaggio, the kindness of a Harmon Killebrew, and the class of Stan Musial, the courage of a Jackie Robinson, or the heroism of Lou Gehrig.
''My hope for the game is that these qualities will never be lost. Whatever else changes even if the same nine innings run longer and the fly balls farther, and the grass isn't always grass like it should be those values are still what makes the boys and girls into fans, and players into legends,'' he said.
''In a small way, maybe we can help to preserve the best of baseball right here in the house that Washington built,'' Bush said. ''After we moved in, I pointed out to a great baseball fan, the first lady, that we've got a pretty good size backyard here.''
Laura Bush gave her husband the go-ahead, he said, ''so long as I wasn't one of the players.''
Bush will work with Little League Baseball of Williamsport, Pa., to invite children from 5 to 8 years old to play in his back yard. They'll come from Washington-area schools and may wear jerseys with such names as the ''South Lawn Slammers'' and ''White House Whammers.'' Games will take place about once a month.
Cabinet officials and staff will coach some teams, maybe even field a few balls, aides said.
The program will be run by the White House communications team, in charge of political public relations, and the office of community and faith-based initiatives.
Presidents have long associated themselves with star athletes to connect with sports-obsessed voters.
Bush will throw out the first pitch at the Milwaukee Brewers' home opener in their new Miller Park on April 6 in the latest version of a first-pitch tradition established by President Taft more than 90 years ago. He also plans to attend minor league and college baseball games to draw attention to the sport.
The Hall of Famers seemed to enjoy their visit to the East Room as much as generations of fans, including Bush, had enjoyed watching them play years ago. ''This is my World Series,'' Cubs great Ernie Banks said, ''and Mr. Bush is the manager.''
''I am the grandson of a slave and here I am in this room,'' said Buck O'Neil, a star Negro League player. ''You can't beat it.''
Aides said the T-ball games are part of a four-year effort by Bush to highlight the sport he loved as a child and profited from as an adult. He bought an interest in the Texas Rangers in 1989 for $600,000, nearly a third of his net worth at the time, and gained a $15 million profit when the team was sold in 1998. He was managing general partner from 1989 to 1994.
The game seems to appeal to Bush's love for order and competition. ''The bottom line in baseball is results: wins and losses,'' he wrote in his autobiography, drawing a comparison to politics. ''We succeeded in baseball because we had vision and a message. From baseball, I developed a thick skin against criticism. I learned to overlook minor setbacks and focus on the long haul.''
At the Rangers, he pushed for a local tax increase to pay for a new stadium, made what he said was one of the biggest mistakes of his life trading slugger Sammy Sosa and raised his public profile in preparation for a successful run for governor of Texas.
A longtime baseball fan, Bush rounded up neighborhood kids for pickup games in Midland, Texas, as a boy, formed a prep school stickball league in Andover, Mass., and briefly played baseball at Yale University.
Now, he will field teams at the White House.

Mayonnaise & newnessFebruary 24th, 2014 , by Suzanne
Have you ever really wanted a product to work, and eventually had to admit that it just made you feel bad? I am that way about a mayonnaise substitute.
I love chicken salad, tuna salad, and carrot salad. I have been using a canola mayonnaise that doesn't have any avoids except a little white vinegar way down at the bottom of the ingredient list. I chose canola because it is neutral for me, and it has a lot of Omega 3. The only problem is that the one Tablespoon serving size isn't nearly enough to make salads as creamy as I like them, so I always use too much.
One day I saw an ad for a mayonnaise substitute, and I got excited. It wasn't a chemical concoction. It was made with real ingredients that I could pronounce. The ad said it was creamy, just like mayonnaise, but it had zero fat and zero calories. Though the ingredients were real food, there were several avoids, but I chose to ignore them. I know better than to ignore that many avoids! But this was a new product, and I really wanted it to work. I bought a jar.
It was creamy, though not creamy in the same way real mayonnaise is creamy. The taste was acceptable, but again not quite like real mayonnaise. It had more vinegar tang than I like. However, by the time I mixed in the celery, apple, and walnuts, it made a good chicken salad.
In spite of my high expectations, it didn't settle well in my stomach. It reminded me of the way I felt before the BTD when my digestive system was always inflamed. I wanted this product to work. I tried it again. In fact I tried it several times, but the results were always the same.
People sometimes ask me how I can stay on the BTD and forego eating wheat and most dairy. I tell them that pain is an excellent motivator. When I eat wheat and dairy, my stomach hurts, and I don't like pain.
As enticing as the idea of low calorie, low fat chicken and tuna salad is to me, the pain is just not worth it. I'm going to discard the mayonnaise substitute.
Before I close, I will give you a quick baby update. DD is now three weeks from her due date. BC has turned and is head down. DD is 1 cm dilated, and is feeling a few Braxton Hicks contractions. While we are all very eager for this baby's birth, we also hope BC will stay in the womb for another two weeks.
We are waiting and praying and smiling.
Little PurimFebruary 13th, 2014 , by Ruth
e Jewish calendar is a solar-lunar calendar. This means that every month correlates to the moon, and each month also falls during the same season every year. By comparison, the Gregorian calendar is solar only (the months can start anywhere in the lunar phase) and the Muslim calendar is lunar only. That's why the month of Ramadan cycles through the seasons as the years go by. 12 lunar months are a little bit shorter than a solar year, so each year starts a little bit earlier than the last.
In order to keep up with the moon AND the sun, the Jewish calendar is rather complicated. The months can be either 29 or 30 days long, so that the first of every month is always on the new moon. The Jewish calendar also inserts an extra month every few years. Since the Torah specifies that Passover is always in the spring, the extra month is inserted in late winter. This year is a leap year, and we're in the leap month right now.
You know how, when somebody is born on February 29th, they only get a birthday every 4 years? That can't happen in the Jewish calendar. The first of every month is called Rosh Chodesh, literally "the head of the month." When there are 30 day months, the 30th day is considered "the first day of Rosh Chodesh" for the following month. Say you're born on the 30th of Av, and Av only has 29 days this year? That's OK, your birthday is also Rosh Chodesh Elul, and so you celebrate on the first of Elul.
Similarly, the leap month doesn't get its own name. Instead of having Adar this year, we have Adar I and Adar II. Adar II is "the real Adar." Any Adar birthdays are celebrated in Adar II. Purim, which normally falls on the 14th of Adar, falls on the 14th of Adar II this year. Purim is observed by giving gifts of food, giving money to charity, hearing the Megilla (Book of Esther) read, and dressing up in costumes.
Tonight begins the 14th of Adar I, the day that would have been Purim, had it not been a leap year. It's known as "Purim Katan" which translates to "Little Purim." There are a few changes in the daily prayers, but it's not REALLY a holiday. We don't go to the synagogue to hear the Megilla read, we're not all getting dressed up in costumes, and there's no obligation to give gifts of food to our friends and neighbors. Good thing, too, considering the blizzard outside!
What I do plan to do later is bake hamentashen, a traditional Purim cookie. We're not baking massive quantities to give out to all our friends. We'll do that next month. Today I'm planning on just making one or two batches for ourselves. Enough to acknowledge the day, but since it's a minor holiday, we won't go crazy.
Es continuo aprendizaje y crecimiento personal!February 8th, 2014 , by Lola
El Dr D Adamo nos sorprende a diario por su profundo entendimiento universal acerca del individuo, sus requerimientos nutrigenómicos de acuerdo a sus múltiples variables genéticas y fisiológicas que influyen de manera favorable a su epigenética, compleja e infinita en su creación y perpetua en aprendizaje. Sin duda que rebasa aquello que se está viendo venir y que para sobresalir adoptan metodología barata de difamar y ridiculizar sin percatarse cuan pequeños se ven a su lado.
La labor de investigación se torna inconmensurable, vastamente transformadora para quienes seguimos sus lineamientos nutrigenomicos personalizados con ciega confianza. Pensar que todo este potencial proviene de un específico y humilde marcador genético, nuestro tipo sanguíneo, y que a tantos nos ha hecho participes al compartir su interés por la salud individual, el reseteo genético y el bien estar, otorgándonos formas de expresión propia, dirigiendo el rumbo de nuestra carga genética a buen puerto.
No es una píldora mágica, y si hay que echarle ganas, ir en contra de la corriente, pero que enorme recompensa es gozar de buena salud!
Es continuo aprendizaje y crecimiento personal!
La nutrigenómica se define como: "El estudio de los nutrientes existentes en la naturaleza y como estos logran alterar nuestra expresión molecular e información genética, influyendo hasta en el aspecto patológico." Es una manera fundamental de sanar nuestro propio cuerpo.
The Genotype Diet: La dieta del Genotipo tiene información detallada de los alimentos más recomendados para reducir el riesgo y prevenir múltiples enfermedades que prevalecen en nuestro tiempo, brindando calidad de vida y mejorando las facultades de concentración y memoria con el simple hecho de seguir una dieta y estilo de vida determinada.
La decodificación del genoma humano pone atención hacia la importancia de la nutrición en la salud. Existen datos publicados indicando que las dietas bajas en grasas no son tan saludables como se pensaban, o que la soja tampoco ha pasado los últimos exámenes sobre sus beneficios, y no se diga sobre aquellas cosechas manipuladas genéticamente que alteran un tanto las perspectivas. En definitiva, los datos sobre alimentación son en la mayoría de los casos confusos, y las recomendaciones universales se vuelven cada vez mas obsoletas, ya que no se toma en cuenta a la individualidad con todo y su genética y mucho menos al tipo sanguíneo, no se diga los subtipos existentes, así como estatus secretor, y otros fenotipos e sistemas.
Hay que reconocer que somos genéticamente diversos y que reaccionamos de manera distinta ante los nutrientes; de ahí la idea de combinar genética con nutrición. Así obtendremos recomendaciones personalizadas y basadas en la ciencia, develando las razones por las que algunas personas se pasan la vida a dieta y nunca logran adelgazar, o el porque de aquellos que se pueden permitir ciertos alimentos no muy recomendables sin sufrir consecuencias catastróficas en términos de salud.
El Dr. D'Adamo ha logrado conectar las variantes genéticas con toda la complejidad de los nutrientes y su programa nos arroja un resultado individualizado de dieta personalizada: Es nutrigenómica en su mas alta expresión! Lo que está cada vez más claro es que los nutrientes interactúan junto con los genes y son capaces de poner en marcha regiones de la doble hélice con acción protectora frente a enfermedades, mientras que otros provocan el efecto contrario. No hay una aplicación universal porque existen individuos con variantes genéticas diversas, pero la variante del tipo sanguíneo nos va marcando el camino con mayor precisión.
Se sabe que el té verde es saludable por sus efectos antioxidantes, pero hay personas con ciertas configuraciones de ADN que no se benefician de la misma manera de sus propiedades. O que una variante genética de una enzima sea la responsable de que algunas mujeres disfruten de una alta protección frente al cáncer de mama dado su tipo sanguíneo, que suele ser aquel con presencia de antígeno anti A, que vendría siendo el tipo de sangre O y B. El caso contrario también sería válido de aquellos individuos cuya carga genética les hace menos susceptibles a las bondades del té verde u otros con contenido de antioxidantes.
La nutrigenómica se encarga de descubrir el complejo laberinto de interacciones entre los alimentos y el ADN, previniendo patología por medio de la dieta, logrando un constante proceso antiinflamatorio. Analiza el riesgo genético de desarrollar enfermedad cardiovascular, cáncer, diabetes, etc. Ejemplo de ello es el alto índice de cáncer de estomago en poblaciones asiáticas acostumbradas al consumo de proteína ahumada con nitratos y conservadores que crean toxinas y poliaminas. Se puede contrarrestar este daño agregando nutrientes que favorecen el equilibrio antioxidante como lo son el ajo, el brócoli, etc. Obviamente la tarea de crear recomendaciones no es tan sencilla, no sólo porque existe una infinidad de combinaciones de nutrientes con sus correspondientes interacciones, sino porque también entra en juego la gran cantidad de factores medioambientales que influyen en la expresión genética.
D'Adamo ha diseñado un programa inteligente de gran sofisticación (indico como obtenerlo en su localidad). SWAMI (Serotyping with advanced modifying inventories) lo ocupa el Dr D en su consulta privada, incorporando variantes significativas a los valores básicos de su programa basado en el tipo sanguíneo ya existente, obteniendo como output un informe protocolario individualizado, nutrigenomico, detallado y versátil, con las recomendaciones alimenticias y protocolos propios de acuerdo a la genética y particular estado de salud del paciente. Se alimenta al programa de datos personales de genotípo como de fenotipo, así como medidas antropométricas, características fisiológicas, análisis de huellas digitales entre otros muchos mas factores que le permiten a SWAMI arrojar un documento detallado nutrigenético personalizado!
Es para mi un gran honor poder formar parte de este proceso innovador e histórico, contando con el apoyo incondicional de este gran médico naturópata quien además de ser su propio programador, también es escritor de "best sellers" y por si eso fuera poco, posee un gran corazón y sentido del humor. Su generosidad no tiene fronteras y en mi carácter de su 'embajadora'(así suele caracterizarme), amo educar sobre prevención y guiar, corriendo la voz con convicción y afán de servicio con transparencia y objetividad.
Felicidades a todos los practicantes que me envían sus comentarios alentadores respecto a sus logros obtenidos en la curación de sus pacientes siguiendo los diversos protocolos que el Dr. D'Adamo ha plasmado tanto en sus libros como en su website! Agradezco su confianza y me enorgullezco del buen equipo que hemos logrado a través de los años.

BC - my precious grandbaby - is at 34 weeks. Six more weeks in the womb, and BC will get to see us! It's interesting that we have seen that cute little face, with nose pressed up against the wall of DD's uterus, in sonogram pictures, but though eyes are now fully functioning, BC can't see us. However, BC hears us responds to familiar voices, but we won't hear BC until "birth day."
DD sent a text that BC is now the size of a butternut squash. I picked up a butternut squash in the grocery and held it. The curves did make me think of a little head and a bottom. I like the way this app points expectant mothers to think of fresh fruits and vegetables every week. Just a subtle reminder to forego chips or cookies and eat right for your baby
DD says she feels wonderful. She has lots of energy. She worries sometimes that she is not as hungry as her friends say that they were. But her doctor is pleased with both her weight gain and the baby's size. I think that the reason she is not famished is because everything she eats is thought out for maximum health for herself and the baby. There is no junk food in her diet. No wasted calories.
The doctor's assistant warned her that the baby would become less active in these last few weeks. DD laughs and says that BC is more active than ever. Last weekend they took the youth from their church to an event that included a several popular Christian bands. BC was very active during the loud music. When DD bends over a counter to cook or the edge of the bathtub to clean, BC pushes against the hard surface.
Most delightful to me is that twice when DD has had her phone in her pocket, BC has kicked the phone, dialing my number. My precious pre-born grandbaby has called Gram Graham. I just love it!
A new gym opened in their town, and was running some enticing introductory specials. DD and SIL signed up. Even now, on cold days, it gives them a place to safely exercise indoors. But I think they were mainly looking ahead to after the baby is born and DD is cleared to exercise. She has been diligent to put the baby first for all of these weeks, disciplining herself not to obsess about things she used to obsess about. Having a place to exercise will give her a structured way to lose baby weight in a healthy manner without cutting calories which would interfere with her ability to nurse.
Their hospital offers several free classes to expectant parents. It amazes me. The hospital where I gave birth was considered cutting edge because it offered a Lamaze class. DD has already been to a lactation class and a newborn care class. She sends me her notes, which is really great, because I need a refresher course. I haven't diapered or bathed a newborn in 24 years!
I read back over this blog, and realize I have become a stereotypical gushing grandmother. I can't help it, and I don't apologize!
None of these diseasesJanuary 31st, 2014 , by Suzanne
SIL has challenged me to read through the Old Testament this year in the order that the Jewish Canon. He says that I will see connections that are obscure in the Christian Bible. Here at the end of January, I am in Exodus, and today I read: There the LORD made for them a statute and a rule, and there he tested them, saying, "If you will diligently listen to the voice of the LORD your God, and do that which is right in his eyes, and give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you that I put on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, your healer. Exodus 15:25-26
This reminds me of a book I read many years ago called "None of these Diseases." I looked to see if it is still in print, and am delighted to find that the 1963 version which I read, by SI McMillen, has been updated for the 21st century.
The book was very careful not to say that Christians would never get sick and die. It was equally careful not to promote the false doctrine that God is obligated to heal sick people if they confess more sin, do more good deeds, believe harder or some such thing.
The book was talking about diseases that we bring on ourselves by our behavior. Smoking would be one example. No doubt it causes lung and mouth cancers.
Promiscuity is another example. It leads to AIDS, venereal disease, and cervical cancer.
God told Moses to instruct the Jews about washing their clothes and bodies after touching something dead or diseased. For years before modern medicine, that practice kept the Jews free from plagues that killed Gentiles who had poor hygiene.
We think our modern life is so stressful, but stress is not at all new. The Bible has a lot to say about thankfulness and praise as antidotes for stress. The Bible also deals honestly with the physical results of anger.
It has always fascinated me that while Dr. D'Adamo's research was done from a purely scientific perspective, that there are very few clashes between the Old Testament food lists and the Blood Type Diet food lists. Most of the foods that the Bible says to avoid, are also avoids for all types. A few are neutrals, like shrimp for Type Os, but very, very few Bible avoids are beneficial for any type.
All of us are on this website because we desire a healthier lifestyle. Food and exercise are major components of good health. Stress management and rest also play a huge role. If you desire to add biblical dimension to your holistic approach to health, I would recommend None of These Diseases by McMillen. It will reaffirm your commitment to live a disciplined and healthy life.
Over-reaching FDA & greedy marketersJanuary 25th, 2014 , by Suzanne
I read an article the other day with a headline that screamed something like "Supplements cause Kidney Failure." I can't remember where I read it, probably either Drudge or Google News. I am suspicious of news reports like these, because I have watched for years as the FDA has looked for an opportunity to seize control of the vitamin and herb market. Any time I see such an article, I suspect it has been placed to influence public opinion in the government's favor, and I suspect that it is based on excessive greed of supplement companies.
I read the article, and I was right on both counts. There are several documented cases of people using weight loss supplement concoctions that have resulted in kidney damage. This particular report focused on an extremely obese teenager, who is now on dialysis. The article pointed out that the supplement the teenager had taken was not required to have FDA approval. It also talked about supplements designed to change hormone balance, which can also have serious side effects.
I didn't save the article, not intending to bore you with my strong opinions on the subject, but this morning I open my email, and there was a newsletter, bragging about - - you guessed it - - another weight loss supplement, guaranteed to work.
Aside from wanting the supplement market to remain free and unencumbered by prescriptions, my attitude about this subject is influenced by the one time that I fell victim to it. Long ago, in the early 80s, I was checking out at my favorite health food store, when I saw a poster. It showed pictures of extreme body types, and said that by taking a glandular supplement you could change your hormone balance and change your body type. I did not like my pear shaped body, and I bought the supplement.
It did change my hormones, but not the way I had hoped. My periods stopped. I was terrified, and went to my doctor. He laughed at me and gave me several reasons why glandular supplements wouldn't work. He was not convinced by my personal experience. I threw away the rest of the bottle, and a few weeks later my cycle returned to normal. But the experience caused me to accept my body as being the way God had made me. While I keep in shape, I no longer try to alter my body type.
If you are overweight, my advice is exercise more, eat less, and focus on beneficials rather than avoids. Do not fall victim to marketers who are paid big bucks to detach you from your money.
If you wish your libido were like it was when you were younger, my advice is to exercise more, lose some weight, and be kind to your spouse. The last is particularly important, and more effective, in my opinion, than any amount of supplement or prescription medication.
I want to have free commerce of vitamins and herbs. I want supplement companies to have lots of motivation to do research and find out more about how our bodies work. I want no government interference in this part of the economy.
However, I also wish that supplement companies would do a better job of policing themselves. There is plenty of profit to be made from giving our health a little boost in a natural way. I cringe when they rush to market a blend calculated to appeal to the compulsion to be thin and sexy. And I cringe doubly when those blends cause someone serious harm.

Exercise & Brain HealthJanuary 16th, 2014 , by Suzanne
This week I had a photo shoot at a senior living facility. They brought in two speakers from a group called Brainstorm Mind Fitness to talk with residents about brain health. It is a five week class. I was asked to take pictures during session two for a local newspaper. It was a fascinating seminar. I wish I could go back and hear all of the sessions.
They identified five lifestyle areas that impact brain fitness:
Physical exercise
Mental exercise
Brain healthy nutrition
Management of stress and depression
I'll share two things I learned.
In their work with the elderly, they find that it is hard to motivate many of them to adopt an aggressive 30 minute or hour exercise program. Some are overweight. Some have disabilities. Some are used to being sedentary. Some deal with pain. In the seminar, they quoted research that said three to four exercise sessions during the day of just 10 minutes is just as valuable to brain health as one long exercise program.
This ties in with a personal conviction that I have not disciplined myself to put into practice. I usually exercise in the morning with a friend. We work out for about an hour. Then I come home and often spend most of the rest of the day at the computer. Quite often I sense my body saying - "get out of the chair, move around." All too often I respond "In a minute" and a minute turns into another hour of computer work.
I know my knees and my shoulders get stiff with so much sitting, but that hasn't been enough motivation to change my behavior. Perhaps knowing that my brain would benefit from 10 minute exercise breaks will get me out of the chair for a few sit-ups or leg lifts.
The Brainstorm presenters had several nutritional supplements on display.
One of the presenters and I began talking about Vitamin B12. She was adamant that B12 be taken in a sublingual form. She prefers drops, but said a tablet of lozenge was ok. She said to look at my bottle. The B12 that starts with methyl is the better form. I got home and checked my bottle. Rats, I have the form that starts with "C". I'm not going to toss this out, but the next time I order, I'll get the more beneficial form.
The only product they recommended that I disagreed with was coconut oil. I'm still not convinced that a highly saturated fat, containing few EFAs, is good for me. When Dr. D changes his mind about coconut oil, I'll change mine.

On August 20th, 2013, Shaquille O'Neal and the AriZona Team, including Chairman Don Vultaggio and his sons Wesley and Spencer, welcomed Mangano and his associates Thomas Dale, Police Commissioner of Nassau County and John Berry, Inspector Commanding Officer of the 2nd precinct back to their headquarters to celebrate the success of the new Soda Shaq line, now rolling out nationally. O'Neal and Vultaggio personally thanked everyone for being a part of the team with a catered dinner, music and a meet and greet with Shaquille O'Neal.
Based out on Long Island with multiple warehouses in the tri-state area AriZona has made it a priority to create and keep jobs on Long Island.

Since 2009, AriZona has added over 170 jobs, employing more than 200 people in Nassau County alone, or its approximate 1,000 national employees. Mangano reminds Nassau County residents that, "When you buy an AriZona you're supporting your own community."

Across enables individuals and groups to travel to Lourdes and provides transport and full board accommodation at a specially selected hotel, The Hotel Mediterranee, in the town of Lourdes a short walk from the Grotto.
Sick and disabled persons are referred to as VIPs and priority is given to those in terminal illness, those confined to a bed or wheelchair, and those with progressive diseases or with a medical condition which makes other forms of transport impracticable. VIPs with less debilitating conditions are also welcome to join groups.
Care is provided by volunteer helpers, nurses, priests and doctors without whom Across could not exist. These volunteer carers give up their time and holidays to accompany VIPs to Lourdes and to care for them 24 hours per day. Everyone including the group leader, who has special responsibilities for the whole group, are volunteers and indeed pay their own expenses or organise fundraising to cover the expenses.
Whilst a good medical team is most vital, and no group could travel without one, so too are the helpers who come from all walks of life, many of whom had no caring experience before their first Across trip. All that is required is to be fit and able and have a Christian love for others and a willing heart.
An Across group departs each Thursday from the UK and returns on the Saturday 10 days later.
There are two kinds of Across groups, National groups to which individuals apply. For such groups the Jumbulance starts in the north of the country, usually Glasgow and travels southwards on the motorways uplifting pilgrims at motorway service stations en route. Individuals are invoiced separately.
Local groups are organised in a town or parish and one organiser receives the invoice for the whole group. The Jumbulance departs from a single location of the organiser's choosing.
Individuals are responsible for their own transport to and from the meeting point.
The cost for 2017 is £656.85 per person which includes travel, meals and refreshments en route, Channel crossing (via the Eurotunnel), full board accommodation in Lourdes, but not travel insurance**, which is available to purchase, the support of experienced staff in Lourdes, transport in and around Lourdes, and the use when necessary of wheelchairs, lifting equipment, emergency oxygen and some medical equipment. Persons on constant oxygen must purchase their own. A discount is available for nurses on national and local groups, the fare for nurses in 201 is £328.42.
Whilst the Trustees of Across have set the level of remuneration for the trip from pilgrims at £656.85 the actual cost of the pilgrimage per person is over £800 and the shortfall is met by fundraising and donations from generous benefactors.
An Across pilgrimage is a group pilgrimage where everyone is expected to act in the best interests of the group as a whole. Carers must remember that their prime consideration must be to the VIPs whose needs and wishes must take precedence over the carers. VIPs must remember that carers are all volunteers without whom there would no Across and without whom the VIP would not be in Lourdes. Everyone should treat each other with dignity and respect.
**Across is an appointed representative of ITC Compliance Limited which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (their registration number is 313486) and which is permitted to advise on and arrange general insurance contracts.

We could not be more thrilled about the art world's warm reception of William Cordova's brilliant solo show in New York.
Here's another great review, this time in Time Out New York, saying William "stirs up a likable chaos" with his exhibition "Laberintos" at Sikkema Jenkins.
"Playing as well on a juxtaposition of the childlike, the handmade and the rural with the tough glamour of metropolitan hip-hop culture, Cordova concocts a refreshing and resonant mix in his first solo outing at this gallery." Read more here. Keep 'em coming, New York!
William's work will be included in the Nasher Museum's upcoming exhibition, "The Record."

Rangers' farm teams begin postseason play
Rangers' farm teams begin postseason play
KANSAS CITY -- Class A Myrtle Beach opened the Carolina League playoffs against Winston-Salem on Wednesday, while the Double-A Frisco RoughRiders began their Texas League playoffs against Corpus Christi. The RoughRiders are playing a best-of-five series, while the Pelicans are in a best-of-three against a team that had the best record in the Minor Leagues this season. Winston-Salem will also host all three games by virtue of winning both the first- and second-half titles in the Northern Division. The RoughRiders play the first two games in Frisco and the final three in Corpus Christi. The RoughRiders' pitchers for the first three games are Barret Loux (14-1, 3.47 ERA), Wilfredo Boscan (7-5, 3.75) and Nick Tepesch (6-3, 4.28). Cody Buckels could also get a start at some point, while Justin Grimm will work in relief.
The RoughRiders are without third baseman Mike Olt and shortstop Jurickson Profar, who are with Texas in the big leagues. The Pelicans have also had significant turnover in their roster as the season has progressed. Their three starters are Luke Jackson (5-2, 4.39), Joe Van Meter (4-5, 2.06) and Nicholas McBride (2-3, 3.76). The Rangers had five of their six Minor League teams make the playoffs last season. They had three this year, including the squad that has already won the Arizona Rookie League title.

Tashigi is of one my favourite One Piece characters, and one of my first cosplays. So I decided it was time for a re-make after 7 years! rnrnThe blouse is a yellow twill that was hand-stenciled/painted. There were over 50 flowers on the fabric before it became the blouse. The jacket is denim, lined with poplin. I used a minky, sherpa-like fur instead of a shaggy, pile fur since my machine cannot handle that type of faux fur. It's super-soft, and easy to work with! Gloves are leather, and found on eBay! rnrnThe sword was originally a started 5-day rushed thing from paper-mache, foam board, and any found items I could gather. It was eventually replaced by a modified wooden bokken. rnrnAll and all, a fun costume!
- Personal Thoughts:
- This costume is wicked comfy and I cannot wait to wear it again.

Dean Foods Company's (DF - Free Report) spin-off of its subsidiary, The WhiteWave Foods Co. reached the final stage with the former announcing the price of its Class A shares in WhiteWave.
Dean Foods is offering its WhiteWave shares at $17.75 per share. The transaction is expected to close on Jul 25. As part of the offering, 29.9 million of WhiteWave's Class A shares that are currently held by Dean Foods will be issued to the public, diluting the latter's stake in the former. Additionally, the offering provides the underwriters an option to buy the remaining 4.5 million Class A shares held by Dean Foods in 30 days.
The debt-for-equity offering has been formulated in a manner that makes it eligible for a tax-free transaction. After completion of this transaction, Dean Foods will no longer have any stake in WhiteWave.
WhiteWave has appointed J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, BofA Merrill Lynch, Credit Suisse Securities LLC, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey and Wells Fargo Securities as joint managers for the offering. Moreover, Credit Agricole CIB and Rabo Securities will be acting as the co-managers.
Formerly, WhiteWave was a wholly owned subsidiary of Dean Foods. In Oct 2012, in order to relieve debts, Dean Foods decided to separate the Silk soy products and Horizon Organic dairy products manufacturer through an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and consequently diluted its 20% stake in WhiteWave.
Since then, this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company has been continuously reducing its stake in WhiteWave. Dean Foods, which competes with Lifeway Foods Inc. (LWAY - Free Report) and Synutra International Inc. distributed 47,686,000 Class A shares and 67,914,000 Class B shares of WhiteWave on a pro-rata basis last month.
We believe that these strategic moves will boost the company's shareholder value and offer growth opportunities for both Dean Foods and WhiteWave.
