ANCIENTl. BED OF THlE GULF OiF
'Tme editor is indbted to Dr. W. B. Pow
ell, fori mni interestinig piaper, on thle ancient
bed of the gulf' if Mlexico. It woi afh
l'ord (mnr readers mnuch pleasuire, we thinkh,
to specuilate oin the 'original anmid cuiritus
coniitnt of this pape~tr. Ani abstict only
cani be f'urniisheud, and that from miemory:
time originaiilihaving been sent to the pulic
press at Louisville previous to that of thie
Southlerner being heard fromt.
Th'iis mper was a reply toi eome of the
initerrogattories add~reised to Dr. Powell biy
the ceditor of this Giazette, respectin:g the
anient ievofof the country, amid the futurme
coutrse of thifMississippi. Some facts were
c mnyitetd (probatbly, hon ever, kntownt
to the:'Doctor biefore,) such ais the comnumon
dicoverv af tunnmiil of r e~ in .hn *...ak..
its district, west of New Orleanus, 40 feet
below the present. lev'el of the country.
This, Captain De Hart asserts. of thitt see
tion of Louisana is'a familiar fact. Again,
the beds of the bayous, passing out or the
Mississippi, are thick. . 1'et wi the stumps
of trees. 20 fect below the level of the ad
jacent country. Tie constant accretion (of
the lak'e shore was likewise mntioned.
The twension or tiae island of N. Orleans
it) its eagutern side, has reached ome hun
dreds O yards, in advance of the old sta
tiotis of -the Lake vessels.
On this imperfect presentation of the
subject, tihe Doctor enters very ntich at
large into the genological formation of our
lower country-the netherlands of the Mis
sissippi valley His viow is taken subse
qiunt to that period when according to dis
inagtishdCl geologists, the loftiest mouniain
peaks of our couttry, n common with
those of the planet generally were submer
ged] by the ocean.
That this was the ancient condition of
our globe, is satisfactorily establisded, by
the presence onl the loftiest mnounitains, all
over the world, of marine shell, whose tex
ture is too delicate to have admitted any
violent agency iln effecting their disposi
Long stbseqnc t to this remote epoch,
in the revolutions of our globe, the gllf of
.1exico must according to the hypothesis of
Dr. Powell, have assenlded high I) the pre
s'nt bed of the Mississippi. InI all proba
.hilitv. it n ashied the satid blufis at NaIchez
the sand stone rock at the town of Gr
Gulf, aId the lufs at Vicksburg, if it did
not reach still higher. Thet reason for these
apparently rash conc-ltsions are presented
itt the-d facts. . Cypress stfimnps are often
tound twenty antid fifty feet below the pres
ent level of the country in Arlusas; just
as they are found fb-ty feet below the level
of the Attakapas distriet. Forty and fifty
feet of earti have therefore been dtposited
tipon the anient strface of tile country.
In don firm a t ion of this fact. the a pear
attces of tilu preciL iLan, I hriv sn.ces
sive growth and deposite of timber with
other alluvial matters, marked by.stcees..
ave layers. Sometimes the deposite re
mains of timber are perpendicular, -at other
timei they are horizontal. Are not these
the very steps and stages of the geological
proceses, that are going ont at the present
day, whenever the lower country is in a
state of accretion? It then seems undeni
able that the bed of the river uintst have
bectn lower than at present, (supposing tle
tloods to have been near tile -sante as
now) in order to- enable it to mnake those
deposites oi former growths; Is not the

and its tributaries? IHence fte inereasint.

tions of the valley country, wlicl..-aVere

teStimony of ouir old inhabitants n ithin the
last forty years. At the same time the bed
of the river has raisred it.elf with the new
ly formed cotuttry, by partaking of the gen -
eral deposites.
Ilenie the Mississsippi is so freqtently
said by superieisal observers, to rat uii
a ridge- because its margin receiving the
last deposites ofthe retiring waters chargel

"Many times, I hear people say that they 'should be able' to handle whatever is wrong on their own. According to whom?" - Stacey Brown, MA, LMHC, NCC
The winner of ACA's first Counseling Awareness Month Publicity Contest is a private practitioner in Fort Myers, Fla., specializing in individual, couples, and family psychotherapy, as well as the Director of the Human Services at Edison State College.
In addition to putting up posters around campus, promoting CAM on her personal Facebook page and the Facebook pages of Edison State College, and an email campaign to various departments and students, Stacey Brown wrote a powerful article, which was just published in the Fort Myers News Press.
Currently, Brown is exploring speaking opportunities to engage students and the public at large about the importance of counseling. She received a full year of membership to ACA and free registration to the ACA 2014 Conference & Expo in Hawaii.

My update went mostly well, except for some small hiccups.
I could deal with most of them but not this one.
Some of my fn key combinations have stop working.
Not working:
- fn-NumEnter : calculator
fn-F9 : touchpad on/off
fn-F10 : mute
fn-F11/F12 : sound down/up
fn-F1 : sleep
fn-F2 : wifi
fn-F5/F6 : brightness down/up
fn-F7 : screen off
I have no idea where to look.
"xinput test" does not display events on the working combinations neither, so this wasn't any help
On "cinnamon-settings keyboard" and "gnome-control-center keyboard" only the not working are listed, and they look ok. Reseting them does not help (through dconf)
I am running LMDE 64bit with cinnamon on an Asus x54c
I hope you can help me

Holiday BBQ prices are up
Fri, 23 May 2014 21:31:46 GMT —
â??Tis the season for grilling.
Thousands of Missourians are firing up their barbeque pits for some Memorial Day Weekend food and fun.
Hamburgers and pork steaks could come with higher price tags this year.
Betty Sue Bennett had a Memorial Day barbeque with her family at Columbiaâ??s Cosmo Park. She brought some beer brats and hot dogs for the grill.
Bennett said, â??I thought you canâ??t go wrong that way. Itâ??s a beautiful day. Itâ??s time for family to be together and enjoy my grandchild that I donâ??t get to see very often.â??
Bennettâ??s daughter-in-law Carrie Smith said high beef and pork prices donâ??t bother her when she has some traditional Memorial Day food on the grill for her daughter Jo Ann.
Smith said, â??We normally have hamburgers. We didnâ??t get hamburgers this year.â??
Beef and pork prices jumped by 7% compared to last year. Thatâ??s not stopping people from barbequing as they look for bargains at the supermarket. Hy-Vee butchers said they have plenty of deals on beef and pork for the holidays. They also make their own barbeque recipes using fish and chicken. They said you can avoid higher prices by buying whatâ??s on sale.
Meat Counter Clerk Jacob De Vries said, â??We have tons of different varieties. If you are looking to be conscious about spending or if you are just looking for flavor, we have the right things for you here.â??
Government statistics show the average Memorial Day barbeque for about a dozen people costs about $87 this year. Thatâ??s up about $5 from last year.
One of the reasons for higher beef prices is the fact that the United States has the lowest cattle numbers since 1951 and inventory continues to go down.

The Mississippi Transportation Commission has recognized MDOT enforcement officer Andrew Dellapenna for courageous actions that went above and beyond the call of duty. In February, Dellapenna responded to a report of a fisherman falling into frigid waters in a private lake near Kewanee in Lauderdale County. Upon arriving at the scene, he heard cries for help and observed a boat with an occupant holding onto a person in the water. A volunteer fireman had already entered the water to assist the victim, but he also became distressed.
Dellapenna entered the water and was able to assist both men. One of the men was unresponsive and was given medical attention at the shore by EMTs. Both the fisherman and fireman were taken to a nearby hospital, but unfortunately, neither survived.

I just love this plant!! Every part of it is interesting. The leaves are beautiful; shiny dark green, evergreen, and have a neat shape. The small white flowers smell heavenly!! Reminds me a bit of gardenia or plumeria. I have not yet tried the fruit; right now they have just turned red, and I am waiting for them to ripen a bit more before picking them.
On Jun 4, 2009, coecase from Merritt Island, FL wrote:
I have a Natal Plum grown from seed planted about five years ago. I got the seed from a plum that I ate! The plant is now about 5 feet tall. I have eaten many natal plums -- they have a sticky white glue-like juice, but the flavor is very good. I have many fruits on the plant now (June 4. 2009), some just starting to turn red. I trim many of the thorns to allow me access to the fruit without injury! I plan to try to harvest and dry the fruit when they mature. I'll report success - or failure!
On Aug 6, 2008, azrobin from Scottsdale, AZ (Zone 9b) wrote:
I agree that this is the dwarf variety and VERY long thorns beneath the leaves. Flowers are fragrant and plant spreads nicely. Does not reseed or send out suckers, etc. Beautiful evergreen. This variety does not set fruit. In my zone 9, it will withstand winters around 30 degrees up to 115 degrees or so. Blooms in summer and spring. I have 5 in my garden.

this is a dwarf variety and thornless. Leaves are round where the traditional carissa has oval leaves. A popular plant in seacoast gardens.

A Missouri judge has granted a divorce to a same-sex couple, and authorities believe it to be the first to occur in the state, which does not recognize same-sex marriage.
Last month Judge Leslie Schneider ruled that Samantha and Dena Latimer, Missouri residents who had married in Massachusetts in 2009, could divorce under the grounds of comity, a legal principle that allows for the recognition of laws in other jurisdictions, reports the Columbia Daily Tribune.
The Boone County circuit judge reasoned that, although Missouri currently has a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, the court may recognize a same-sex marriage performed in another state "for the limited purpose of granting equitable relief." As precedent, Schneider cited a 1993 trial in which the court ruled on a marriage where the partners had not obtained a legal marriage license.
The ruling also declared that the state "runs afoul of its due process obligations" provided by the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution if the court denies same-sex couples the right to divorce.
Christopher Clark, a representative of Lambda Legal, told the Tribune this is the first divorce of a same-sex couple in Missouri of which the LGBT legal advocacy organization is aware. However, he pointed out that Schneider's reasoning has been employed by judges in other states in order to dissolve the unions of gay and lesbian couples in similar situations.
"Same-sex couples are like everybody else in that they have relationships that sometimes don't work out," he said.
In 2004, 74 percent of voters approved Missouri's Defense of Marriage Act. A June 2012 survey by Public Policy Polling showed that acceptance of same-sex marriage in Missouri is growing, however, with 64 percent saying same-sex couples should be allowed either to marry or enter into civil unions.

There is no mesh covering the front of the GeForce GTX 580 Phantom's heatsink. Air gets pulled through the fins unobstructed, which translates to better cooling.
Gainward has employed six rather thick heat pipes to conduct heat away from the heatsink base rapidly.
Over here, we can see the three 80mm fans sandwitched in between.
Similar to the reference NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580, this card requires two PCI Express power connectors – one 6-pin and one 8-pin.
Again similar to the reference card, the GeForce GTX 580 Phantom supports both 2-way and 3-way SLI configurations.
Four spring-loaded screws are used to secure the cooler around the GPU, while normal Phillips screws are used for the rest of the unit.

THE line between Connecticut and the Berkshires is ever thinning. Co-productions between Barrington Stage in Sheffield, Mass., and Theater Works in Hartford have included ''Valley Song'' and ''Three Viewings,'' both seen in Connecticut first.
And the Hartford Theater's associate artistic director, Rob Ruggiero, staged the Sheffield Theater's last production, ''Spunk.''
Even the Dance Connecticut Student Touring Ensemble of Hartford is to perform in the Berkshires, at Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival in Lee, Mass., on Wednesday and Thursday.
But the current Barrington Stage play is nothing new. Even though ''Tea,'' by Velina Hasu Houston, may not have been seen in Connecticut theaters, stages in San Diego, Los Angeles, Syracuse and Montclair, N.J., have had productions. All were directed by Julianne Boyd, Barrington Stage's artistic director, after the play's premiere at the Manhattan Theater Club in 1987. Theater Works need not bother.
''It's a story that needs to be told,'' Ms. Boyd said to the audience before a recent preview performance. But not this way.Continue reading the main story
That story is of Japanese women who married American soldiers after World War II, forever to be ''forsaken to wander between two worlds.'' One, Himiko Hamilton (played by June Angela), shoots herself as soon as the play begins, having already shot her abusive husband with a rifle. For her, World War II was easier than her warring marriage.
The ritual of taking tea unites the other four women, each a stereotype. But the metaphorical point of the word itself, signifying turbulence and density, may be elusive to many audiences.
References are made to remaining ''peaceful and contained in the eye of the hurricane.'' And the tea leaves are ''left behind in the bottom of the cup,'' one of the women says, ''when we are all gone and forgotten.''
Yes, tea is so much more than just a drink. We knew that. Clocking in at 90 minutes, Ms. Houston's play tells us that tea can also be a depressant.
All too many of the marriages droned on about in the performance were based on the American man's belief that everybody ought to have a maid, while what the Japanese women wanted, one of them admits, was soy sauce and good rice.
The husbands are exiled, the wives are ostracized. Other couples are estranged for different yet similar reasons: prejudice, pregnancies, parental renunciation and the hatred of other Japanese-Americans. Yet, their children saw them through.
Call it just plain racism. Winding up in Junction City, Kan. -- the time is 1968 -- the women relive their pasts, playing their husbands and their children, otherwise known as flashbacks. Kansas is ''the land of milk and honey, of great white plains and narrow minds, the Bible belt.'' One of Ms. Houston's better lines: ''It is so unfair that I have to die in Kansas.''
But spare us ''I was born in a storm and it's never stopped raining'' and ''I was tied to a tree and left hanging for strangers to spit on.''
Though the playwright -- the daughter of a Japanese woman and an African-American soldier, grew up in Fort Reilly, Kan., -- means to relate the play to the American immigrant tradition, it's not just the tea that's strained.
''Tea,'' Barrington Stage Company, Consolati Performing Arts Center, Sheffield, Mass. 413-528-888. Performances through next Sunday.Continue reading the main story

Academic urges closer look at nuclear energy
A climate change expert believes nuclear energy is the best option to replace coal-fired power stations such as the ones at Port Augusta.
The city's power stations have recently been the subject of national attention, with groups campaigning for them to be converted to solar thermal.
Professor Barry Brook from the University of Adelaide says nuclear energy is a low emission and reliable replacement for coal.
However, he says nuclear power is currently illegal in South Australia.
"I often joke to people that the Minister could actually consider a power station fuelled by burning koalas but he couldn't consider one fuelled by burning uranium, so it's an interesting position we are in right now," he said.
Professor Brook says it will be several years until nuclear energy is accepted as an option by the community.
He says other countries have made successful transitions to nuclear.
"There are some countries that moved away from coal, Sweden and France and so on and they did that using nuclear power very successfully," he said.
"Now, nuclear power has its problems, like any energy source, but if we're really serious about cutting emissions then I don't think we can avoid looking seriously at nuclear energy."

A good car is more than just a vehicle, it can be a status symbol. Among the automobiles that confers that instant status on a driver, BMW is surely one of the most immediately recognisable. There are many experts who are of the opinion that the German car giants have never made a bad vehicle � and they may be right. BMW has a huge reputation worldwide for producing excellent vehicles for personal use and also in the world of motor racing. This has not happened by accident. The Berlin-based company knows how to make a car, and has a formula which is the source of much jealousy.
Although famously reliable, it would be na�ve to imagine that nothing could ever go wrong with a BMW like all cars they are prone eventually to wear and tear, and therefore it is beneficial to have a service manual to refer to when things do go wrong. Even if you don�t need it frequently, simply knowing it is there will provide you with a level of reassurance and comfort that your high-value automobile will be repairable if something goes wrong. For a small fault, you may be able to repair it yourself with the correct repair guide.
How Do I Get A BMW Service Manual?
There are numerous good service manuals commercially available which will give you the information that you require. Now, however, it is also possible to download the service guide you need from this site and simply print the information out, allowing you to save the money you would otherwise have needed to spend.

The border war between Eritrea and Ethiopia, which had begun in 1998 in a dispute over about 640 sq km (250 sq mi) of land near Badme in northern Tigre, expanded in 1999. The conflict quickly spread to two other fronts, Zala Ambessa (where the fighting encompassed the main road link between Eritrea and Ethiopia) and the port city of Assab, which had previously been the export point of much of Ethiopia's important coffee crop. By 1999 fighting on these three fronts had led to a total of 50,000 deaths, the number swollen by the Ethiopian army's fighting techniques—trench warfare and assault on enemy positions using human waves. Fighting was sporadic throughout the year, alternating with intermittent progress on the peace process.
Ethiopia continued to expel Eritrean nationals, and the number of Eritreans who had left, either forcibly or voluntarily, rose to 80,000. The Commercial Bank of Ethiopia began auctioning off the assets of expelled Eritreans who left debts behind them. In an attempt to destabilize Ethiopia, Eritrea was funneling money and arms to the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF), to al-Ittihad al-Islam, a Muslim group that advocated the secession of the Ogaden area, and to Somali warlord Hussein Aydid. The conflict infected other parts of the Horn of Africa, as Ethiopian forces pursued OLF rebels into both Kenya and Somalia and attacked Aydid's troops inside the Somali border. Ethiopian relations with Djibouti remained strong, if only because all Ethiopian exports were now passing through the port there.
The peace initiative under the aegis of the Organization of African Unity moved ahead. Both parties agreed that the United Nations would demarcate the border, but Ethiopia had yet to sign the technical arrangements document for a final settlement. The major stumbling blocks were agreement on troop withdrawal, interim administrations in conflict areas, and compensation for deportees and other war victims.
In domestic politics, the Special Prosecutor's Office pursued the trials of persons accused of crimes under the regime of Mengistu Haile Mariam. By 1999 all of the accused had been indicted and arraigned. Following constitutional guidelines, national elections were scheduled for May 14, 2000; the current government was believed to have an overwhelming advantage.
The economic growth rate for 1998 was 6%, but the effects of continued growth were mitigated by massive government expenditures for defense. Weaker international coffee prices led to a decline in foreign exchange earnings for 1999, which put the country in a precarious economic position. Overall, there was an exceptional grain harvest in 1998–99, but international food aid was still needed owing to a shortage of rain in some areas and the large number of people displaced from their farms by the border conflict. As the privatization of state-owned industries continued, the International Monetary Fund resumed lending to Ethiopia under a structural-adjustment program. Many of the smaller state-owned industries had already been sold off, but some 100, including textile- and food-manufacturing operations, remained in government hands.

I tend to use longer exposures.
Please briefly comment on how you manage and control noise in your shots.
I just purchased a D200 which has very good noise reduction ability and I've been making use of the ability to somewhat control when/how it kicks in and have been very happy with the results. Obviously I shoot at the lowest iso possible, but a lot of what I do is indoor swimming meets and so even with a fast f2.8 lens I often find I need the high iso for acceptable shutter speeds. So for me, the noise reduction in the D200 is a real blessing.
For excessive noise levels, I use Neat Image and other noise filtering options in CS2. However, some images just look better with that grainy/noisy look intact, especially moody and intimate scenes at 1600-3200 ISO. It's an image by image judgement and not a rote process of reduction. I started using DSLRs by always recording in Raw format for the most immediate and long term processing flexibility. Best decision I've made - like undeveloped film as many times as you choose to return or revise the look of that negative image. Raw software has gotten better and better at bringing out the best in that file and how you choose to develop it. A little off the noise topic, but...
When I have to go to high ISO numbers as a desktop publishing artist I use either one of the Adobe programs or Paint Shop ProX1 both do a good job. I also use one of the Canon L series les as you know are very sharp lenses and then soften it in one of the above-mentioned programs. And lets face a little bit of noise is not the end of the world.
Because I am not sure how to reduce noise at high ISO, I don't use them or I print small, generally for the web. It would be nice to know how to manage noise effectively. With analog, I mostly shot high asa but with digital I don't. Why, because noise is ugly and grain was beautiful.
Since Canon (I use 350D) produces quite low noise images even at ISO 1600, I don't use any noise reduction programs (like Neat Image) for prints up to 13x18cm which I mostly prefer for general archiving purposes. I have got hundreds of ISO 800/1600 images that are not processed at all and looks very clean at 13x18cm prints. In my opinion, if correctly exposed (350D has bad noise in underexposed regions) by keeping an eye on histogram, there is no reason to get afraid of high ISO noises any more. For bigger prints I would certainly use Neat Image which is easy to deal with (and free). However those software are clearing the noise but losing some detail. As much as selective noise reduction not done (by using other pro software), there is no free lunch in the world of noise reduction.
Though I rarely use any ISO above 400 (not much of an indoor shooter), when I do, I'm generally not too displeased with the noise. It adds a certain atmospheric appeal to the images. In the rare case that I don't want the noise to be so prevalent (say, at 1600+), I just run it through Noise Ninja in CS2.
Fantastic goods from you, man. Ive study your stuff ahead of and you're just as well amazing. I enjoy what you've got right here, adore what you're stating and the way you say it.

Labour Party Manifesto 2010 World-leading healthcare: a patient-centred NHS
The challenge for Britain
To build a better health service by protecting NHS spending and by shifting to more preventative and personal care, clear patient guarantees and greater care in the home. The Tories will not introduce the necessary reforms, would fail to guarantee access to services, usher in a care postcode lottery, and put the interests of patients second.
The next stage of national renewal
* Legally binding guarantees for patients including the right to cancer test results within one week of referral, and a maximum 18 weeks' wait for treatment or the offer of going private.
* Preventative healthcare through routine check-ups for the over-40s and a major expansion of diagnostic testing.
* More personal care, with the right in law to choose from any provider who meets NHS standards of quality at NHS costs when booking a hospital appointment, one-to-one dedicated nursing for all cancer patients, and more care at home.
* The right to choose a GP in your area open at evenings and weekends, with more services available on the high-street, personal care plans and rights to individual budgets.
* Access to psychological therapy for those who need it.
The NHS embodies our values remain a universal health of fairness and social justice service, not a second-rate safety – for 60 years it has been the net. Only 15 years ago, the embodiment of what it means very existence of the NHS was to be British. We will always put in doubt. Now with sustained the NHS first. In an insecure investment and reform, the world, people need first-class NHS is delivering high-quality healthcare they can rely on. healthcare in safer and more Under Labour, the NHS will convenient ways.
But to safeguard the NHS in tougher fiscal times, we need sustained reform. To prosper in the future, the NHS will have to respond to the challenges facing healthcare systems across the developed world: new cures and breakthrough treatments, an ageing society, an increased number of people with long-term conditions, ever higher public expectations at the same time.
So we will be tougher in ensuring value for money, more determined in demanding the highest standards of care and in shifting rapidly to preventative care. Above all, the interests of the patient will come first.
No longer passive recipients of care, patients will be active partners with enforceable guarantees, real choice, and direct control over services.
These changes are essential to maintain the principle at the core of the NHS: of care provided on the basis of need, not ability to pay.
Protecting the NHS and investing in the front line
In 1997, health spending as a share of national income was the second lowest of all the major industrialised countries. The resulting failures were visible to all: long waits, outdated buildings, too few doctors and nurses.
Since then, investment and reform have turned around the public's experience of the NHS. A generation of new hospitals has been built, entirely new services created, and long waits eliminated. We are undertaking fundamental changes to community services, tough decisions on pay, and a shift in care from the hospital to the community.
As we complete our once-in-a-generation programme of hospital building, we will refocus capital investment on primary and community services so that we rival the best healthcare systems in the world with our ability to identify disease early.
The reforms of recent years will allow us to do more than ever to release savings by cutting red tape and directing resources to where they matter most. We will scale down the NHS IT programme, saving hundreds of millions of pounds, and over the next four years, we will deliver up to £20 billion of efficiencies in the frontline NHS, ensuring that every pound is reinvested in frontline care.
Getting the most from NHS resources: sustained investment and reform
We will continue to press ahead with bold NHS reforms. All hospitals will become Foundation Trusts, with successful FTs given the support and incentives to take over those that are under performing. Failing hospitals will have their management replaced. Foundation Trusts will be given the freedom to expand their provision into primary and community care, and to increase their private services – where these are consistent with NHS values, and provided they generate surpluses that are invested directly into the NHS.
We will support an active role for the independent sector working alongside the NHS in the provision of care, particularly where they bring innovation – such as in end-of-life care and cancer services, and increase capacity. We will be uncompromising in expecting high standards from all NHS services – and in the coming period we will expect PCTs to challenge all services to achieve the highest quality.
Where changes are needed, we will be fair to NHS services and staff and give them a chance to improve, but where they fail to do so we will look to alternative provision.
Patient power will be increased.
Patients requiring elective care will have the right, in law, to choose from any provider who meets NHS standards of quality at NHS costs. And we will also increase year-on-year the payments made to hospitals linked to patient satisfaction and quality outcomes – up to ten per cent of payment.
Prevention and early intervention
The NHS must be as effective at preventing ill health as it is at treating those in need of care. Prevention and early intervention will be at the heart of our plans for a reformed healthcare system offering more for every pound we spend, significantly improving survival rates for cancer, heart disease and strokes so that we are among the very best in the world.
We all have a responsibility to look after our own health, supported by our family and our employer. The ban on smoking in public places will be maintained. Wherever necessary, we will act to protect children's health from tobacco, alcohol and sunbeds.
GPs will be encouraged to keep their patients healthy through exercise and healthy eating advice. The ambitious Change 4 Life programme will support a more active, health-conscious country.
We will pioneer better mental health care and tackle the scourge of mental illness. Over the next Parliament more than 8,000 new therapists will ensure access to psychological therapy for all who need it as we seek to change our society's attitudes to mental illness.
Empowering NHS staff and enabling Mutuals Central to our agenda for improvement is the hardworking NHS workforce. We will continue the process of empowering staff – freeing them from bureaucracy and ensuring they get proper support.
We will expand the role of NHS nurses, particularly in primary care, in line with the best clinical evidence. And across the NHS we will extend the right for staff, particularly nurses, to request to run their own services in the not-for-profit sector. To strengthen local accountability, we will increase the membership of Foundation Trusts to over three million by the end of the next Parliament.
The NHS will benefit from a period of organisational stability: we will make no top- down changes to the structure of Primary Care Trusts or Strategic Health Authorities during the next Parliament, and we will ensure stability in the hospital payment system.
Real guarantees and real choices for patients
People rightly want public services that are not just universal but also personal to their needs. We will expand patient choice, empowering patients with information, and giving individuals the right to determine the time and place of treatment. At the heart of this will be new legally binding guarantees enshrined in the NHS constitution:
• The waiting-time guarantee will ensure that treatment begins within 18 weeks of seeing your GP, or the NHS will find you to go private.
• The cancer guarantee will ensure that all patients see a cancer specialist within two weeks of GP referral and that all cancer tests will be completed and the results received within just one week – helping save tens of thousands of lives over the next ten years.
• The health-check guaranteewill ensure that everyone between 40 and 74 will be guaranteed routine health checks on the NHS, preventing up to 10,000 heart attacks and strokes each year.
• The GP access guarantee will ensure everyone has the right to choose a GP in their area offering evening and weekend opening.
A personal NHS
We will ensure the NHS suits the lives of busy families expanding further the availability of GP-led health centres open seven days a week '8 til 8′ in towns and cities. NHS organisations will offer telephone and online booking via the NHS Choices website. Online patient comments about the quality of any NHS service will inform people's choices. A new national 111 telephone number will make non- emergency services far easier for people to access and book.
We will bring the NHS closer to people through a major expansion in care available at home, including chemotherapy and dialysis. More services will be available from GPs and through local pharmacists. Patients will have the right to register with a GP anywhere they choose, including near their place of work. Choice of when and where you are treated will be extended whenever patients are booking routine appointments.
We will offer more personal healthcare. All cancer patients will be offered one-to-one dedicated nursing for the duration of their care and we will work with Marie Curie Cancer Care and other providers to guarantee everyone who wants it the opportunity to receive palliative care in their own home at the end of their lives.
Everyone with a long-term condition, such as those with diabetes, will have the right to a care plan and an individual budget.
All women will have the right, wherever it is safe, to a home-birth, and every expectant mother will have a named midwife providing continuity of care. More mums and dads will be offered single rooms if they need to stay in hospital overnight, and post-natal care will be further expanded so that every area of the country has a Family Nurse Partnership, supporting families in greatest need.
With new rights to treatment come new responsibilities for patients: patients who fail to turn up for pre-booked appointments will not be guaranteed fast-track treatment.
The NHS Constitution will guarantee the legal rights of patients, wherever they live, to all treatments and drugs approved by NICE for use in the NHS. We will continue to improve the process of approving new drugs and treatments so that these can be made available to NHS patients more quickly. We will ensure all leading drugs available internationally are assessed by NICE and those which are deemed effective will be available within six months of referral.
We will establish a new National Care Service working in partnership with the NHS to transform the way care is provided to the elderly and disabled people.
Safety and cleanliness
We will ensure all hospitals are clean and safe for both patients and staff. More than 3,000 matrons across the NHS will have the power to manage wards, order deep cleaning, and report problems directly to hospital boards. Every patient who comes into an NHS hospital will be screened for MRSA.
We will establish national standards of infection control that get tougher every year and which every hospital and ward must meet. The safety regulator will have the power to close wards, impose fines or order cleaning wherever necessary.

Brutal Surf forecast again...
Jul 1, 2011, 03:55 AM #2
It sucks. I need to surf so badly. Had a heartbreaking breakup (my first one) two weeks ago, which I'm mostly over now, but surfing helps a lot to take the edge off.
I need my surf medicine. Please, surf gods, send some swell my way. I need it!
P.S. Hello everybody. This is my first post here, and I hope to become an active member of this community.
Sure looks like summer.
Indeed it does, it surely looks like summer.

Lula Café is my #1 restaurant in the city. I just realized that I've never really written anything in detail about them. With Fall upon us, and the myriad changes at Lula brought on by the opening of Nightwood (sister restaurant in Pilsen), I felt compelled to write this pean to my favorite restaurant.
As you may or may not know, Lula Café has 2 different menus. The café menu carried forth their humble beginnings as a funky neighborhood café. The specials menu continues to feature creative cuisine that made Lula the cult favorite that it is. Both menus champion local farm to table products. I was particularly glad that they are now using City Farm produce. It is a small operation on Clybourn/Division, which has become my alternative if I don't feel like fighting the crowds at Green City Market. Anyway, on to dinner.
Market salad with chicories, apple, turnip, marcona almonds, fiore sardo, and goat milk yogurt dressing
So this salad was sort of unusual for Lula. On the specials menu, they are usually either very composed or deconstructed. With this market salad, everything was tossed together. Escarole, endive, shaved Nichols farm apples, turnips, marcona almonds spiced with ginger and cinnamon, currants pickled in anise and coriander. The dressing is Swan's Creek goat's milk made into yogurt in the kitchen. To top it all off, a generous shower of Fiore Sardo (a Sardinian goat's cheese) shreddings. The greens were crunchy; fruits and nuts were crunchy or spiced in autumn flavors; dressing was tangy and grassy; and the cheese smoky and rustic. It was damp and cold outside, but the salad made it all go away.
Late summer tomato bisque with smoked trout, pickled green beans, currant tomatoes, and brioche
Tomatoes from City Farm were either roasted, or smoked, and pureed with cream. Accoutrements included smoked Rushing Waters trout, pickled Nichols farm green beans, tiny currant tomatoes the size of bubble tea tapioca balls, and house-made toasted brioche croutons. The bisque was earthy; fish smoky; green beans tangy; and again, wiped away all the damp and cold outside. Oh, and the currant tomatoes exploded as you bite into it. It's like little bursts of sunshine.
Lake trout with sweet potato pommes anna, caramelized broccoli, chorizo, and px sherry vinaigrette
The Lake Superior trout was pinkish, and very meaty. When they brought the plate, I didn't think it was trout because of the way the fillet was cut. It was roasted in butter, chorizo, and garlic. The pomme anna had layers of sweet and wax potatoes cooked in a celery root and pear butter (in place of regular butter as the traditional French recipe calls for). The fish sat on top of browned broccolini, and on the flip side, was topped by a salad of beauty heart radishes, caperberries, and chorizo in a sherry vinaigrette. It was such a colorful and flavorful dish. Also, the trout definitely stood up to the heartier than usual flavors. Magnificent.
Heritage pork with shell beans, hazelnut butter, pancetta, and brussels sprout choucroute
Pork shoulders from Gunthorp Farm is cured in caraway, thyme, and garlic. It is roasted, and then turned into a roulade with a stuffing made of red cabbage, dried cherries, and hazelnuts. Fresh shelled cranberry beans were cooked in hazelnut butter. A choucroute of brussel sprouts, currants, and pancetta cooked in a mélange of seasonings (including gin). The pork was salty and sweet; the beans and veggies had pops of nutty flavors; and crispy pancetta, well, what else can one say about crispy pancetta?
2008 Couly-Dutheil "Les Chanteaux" Chinon Blanc
With all the strong, earthy flavors and fall notes of the dishes, we decided on a French white as a counterpoint. It was a bold move approved by Lula's wine goddess. Honeysuckle, stone fruits, Loire soil. I don't normally go for chenin blancs, but this was a great choice. The wine was creamy, viscous, and bold.
Dark chocolate gianduja torte with salted caramel butter cream and Frangelico ice cream
Gianduja is perhaps gussied up nutella, my favorite sweet spread in the world. I'm generally not a dessert person though, but this was my niece's birthday. The torte was dense and studded with chopped hazelnuts. The salted caramel butter cream breaks up the density, complemented by the luscious Frangelico ice cream.
Frangelico is one of my favorite digestives. But I decided it was overkill, as we were all beginning to turn into Chip & Dale and sprout cute little furry tails. A nice sherry though rounded out the evening perfectly.
BTW, every Halloween, Lula completely transforms itself into a different restaurant. One night only. The restaurant itself is playing dress up. Always so much fun anticipating what they will turn out to be. Can't wait for Halloween.
