Antibody Tests Non-Invasive and Screening
Physicians are preoccupied with tests, believing that test results are more scientific than real life information. Patients want simple answers to complex problems. The reality that I confronted for many years was that very sick patients would get better with diet revision that excluded gluten regardless of their laboratory test results. My attitude is that positive antibody tests are interesting findings in research, but may not be helpful in the management of sick patients. I concluded that negative test results were not helpful in directing treatment.
A prevalent attitude of physicians is that proper diet revision is too difficult to undertake and they would not consider diet revision to be a suitable experiment to undertake when a patient was chronically ill and not benefiting from treatments offered. I believe that the primary duty of the physician is to find an effective treatment for disease.
Tests, such as anti-gliadin, anti-endomysium, and anti-transglutaminase antibody estimation can be used as screening tests in groups considered at risk of celiac disease. These include first-degree relatives of celiac patients and patients with irritable bowel syndrome, arthritis, diabetes mellitus, iron-deficiency anemia, epilepsy, cerebellar ataxia, autoimmune diseases, depression, weight loss and malnutrition. While these antibody tests are useful in identifying potential celiacs, they should not be used to "rule out' celiac disease nor can they exclude a wider range of gluten-induced diseases.
Since intestinal biopsy, by definition, is required for a diagnosis of celiac disease (CD), researchers have looked for and found non-invasive tests that correlate well with biopsy results. The first antibody test to emerge was the detection of serum anti-gliadin antibodies. The logic follows traditional allergy practice, where the finding of antibody against a food antigen, suggests that the antigen has a pathogenic role.
Transglutaminase antibodies (TGA) are the most recent markers of CD. Transglutaminase is a normal enzyme and it appears to be the main antigen target for AEA. In a study of 181 celiac patients Scoglio et al reported high correlations of antibody results with intestinal biopsy and suggested that antibody tests repeated in patients with high probability of having the disease could replace biopsy.
Gliadin is just one protein among many in the gluten complex. Digestion of gliadin produces a number of peptides that are likely to be the active agents of disease. Remember that are 4 majors classes of antibodies and many subtypes. It is estimated that one person can make a large number of antibodies that interact with a million or more targets.
Every person has circulating serum antibodies to some food proteins, but there is no easy cause and effect connection between the presence of antibody and the activity of a disease. While some diseases are marked by the presence of a specific antibody, no disease can be reliably diagnosed by the presence or absence of single antibodies. An antibody that is made to interact with one target may also interact incidentally with other targets. The original target may be a food protein and the incidental target maybe cells in normal tissues that are damaged by an immune attack.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's 15-member Credit Union Advisory Council will meet Wednesday via teleconference to discuss recent revisions to the qualified mortgage rule, as well as the CFPB's review of payday lending practices.
The council, which first met in Washington in October 2012, is chaired by Carla Decker, president/CEO of the $46 million District of Columbia Employees FCU. Most members on the council represent credit unions with around $100 million in assets or less.
Other council members include:
- Bernard Balsis, $20 million IEG FCU, Hilo, Hawaii
- Rose Bartolomucci, $117 million Towpath CU, Fairlawn, Ohio
- Gary Bell, $102 million Cooperative Center FCU, Berkeley, Calif.

- David Wright, $43 million Services Center FCU, Yankton, S.D.
The CFPB issued an amended final qualified mortgage rule May 29 that provided new exemptions for small lenders. Among those exemptions include the ability to designate certain mortgages as qualified, even if the borrower's debt-to-income ratio exceeds the rule's 43% limit, provided the lender holds the mortgage on its books.
The rule also provides a two-year transition period that will allow small lenders to make certain balloon loans that will qualify as qualified mortgages, which was a concern for institutions located in rural areas where balloon loans are more common.
On April 24, the CFPB released a report on payday lending that was critical of deposit advance loans it said are offered by banks and credit unions. Those loans differ from credit union short-term, small-amount payday loan alternatives; however, the CFPB said it is also researching them and will publish results in an "overdraft stud

Mikhail Grabovski's face was clenched in a rebellious sneer, the type of look you get from a five-year-old when you plop a plate of Brussels sprouts in front of him.
Only it was not any kind of vegetable that had the Maple Leafs rookie repulsed on this day.
It was the Kostitsyns.
Grabovski had just been informed that his potential showdown against the Montreal Canadiens' Sergei Kostitsyn tomorrow was eliciting the type of hype in la belle province that promoter Don King would be proud of.
"I don't care about that," Grabovski said yesterday.
"Or him."
Maybe he should.
Because like it or not, the Grabovski-Kostitsyn feud has become a juicy topic heading into the weekend, especially inside the Habs dressing room at the Bell Centre.
Sergei Kostitsyn, in fact, seemed to be downright gleeful, according to observers, when informed that Grabovski had been made a healthy scratch by Leafs coach Ron Wilson for the game in Buffalo on Wednesday.
"Scratched ...? Good," Kostitsyn said.
Wilson is expected to put Grabovski back in the lineup for the game, which will be broadcast on Hockey Night in Canada. And to hear some of the Habs talk, it will be The Battle of the Belarusians in front of a national television audience.
"I think it would be really funny," said Canadiens tough guy Georges Laraque of a potential Grabovski-Sergei Kostitsyn scrap, referring to the diminutive pair as "two little midgets."
"They're both competitive kids with a lot of fire, so if it happens, it would be quite interesting," added Canadiens defenceman Ryan O'Byrne.
So who would come out on top?
"In this situation, I've got to take Sergei. He's the bigger guy, he plays a little meaner out there and, in a fight, I think he'd win," O'Byrne said.
The feud between the countrymen seemed to be fanned when Sergei Kostitsyn was slapped with a 10-minute misconduct for taking a run at Grabovski during the Leafs' 6-3 win over Montreal at the Air Canada Centre on Nov. 8. Two months later, on Jan, 8, the pair actually threatened to scrap, with Grabovski eventually earning a three-game suspension for making contact with linesman Scott Cherrey while attempting to get at Kostitsyn.
Grabovski waved to the jeering Bell Centre throng as he skated off the ice, sparking a war of words afterward.
Asked about what spawned the ill-will, Andrei Kostitsyn told reporters that Grabovski "talks too much in the Russian newspapers about me and my brother."
Grabovski responded by claiming that "if (Sergei) wants to fight, we'll go in the street and every minute of every day I'll wait for him and we'll fight."
Yesterday, Grabovski tried to play down the chatter. But, in the end, he couldn't help himself.
"It's just a game, a regular game for me," he said. "I just have to keep it simple."
But what about the rivalry? "Well, maybe there is a little bit of one because they were my first team," Grabovski said.
You can bet that Wilson and general manager Brian Burke will not only be watching how Grabovski handles himself, but how the rest of the Leafs come to the kid's defence as well.
One of the issues dogging the Leafs the past few seasons is their perceived reluctance to aid a teammate when things get down and dirty.
"He's not out there alone," Wilson said of Grabovski. "If any of the stuff happens, we need guys there to ride shotgun and help him out."
But will the presence of Sergei Kostitsyn continue to distract him, not to mention the continuous booing of the Montreal crowd each time he touches the puck?
Obviously the Montreal fans have not forgotten his refusal to fly coach on one of the team's road trips last season, opting to stay behind instead.
"I don't care about that," Grabovski repeated.
"Or him."
We'll see.

Although Vista has canceled its plans for two digital message boards along state Route 78, there may be at least one electronic billboard on the highway's horizon after all.
The city of Oceanside is considering a proposal for a sign on the north side of the 78 at Rancho Del Oro Drive. The billboard, which would be 48 feet wide by 14 feet tall, is being proposed by BGT Media of San Marcos.
The sign is one of four digital billboards that could be allowed in Oceanside under an ordinance approved by the City Council last year.
The city's real estate manager, Doug Eddow, said negotiations are under way with four billboard companies including BGT Media, CBS Outdoor, Lamar Advertising and Clear Channel Outdoor. Eddow said he could not discuss the details of those negotiations.
Thus far, BGT Media is the only company that has submitted a permit application for a digital billboard.
Tom Missett, a partner in the company and a former North County newspaper publisher, said the billboard would bring Oceanside hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue a year, with almost no cost to city coffers.
"These signs are never going to call the cops, never going to call the fire department, never going to need repairs from the city," Missett said. "So, it's good deal for the city."
Though details are still being negotiated, Missett said he estimated that the sign could generate as much as $50,000 a month in revenue for Oceanside.
Oceanside would also get an opportunity to show messages on the billboard for community events and emergency alerts, Missett said. No political messages or alcohol advertising would be allowed, he added.
Still, there is some opposition to the proposed signs. Critics say digital billboards are ugly and dangerous for drivers.
"Besides the fact that they are hideous, they are not in keeping with the character of the community and they are a potential safety hazard," said Kevin Brown, an Oceanside resident who has been leading the fight against the proposed signs.
Missett said digital billboards are not distracting because they display only static images, not moving video.
"You're not going to see Wile E. Coyote chasing the Road Runner in these signs," Missett said.
Brown called the potential windfall profits from the billboards "speculation," adding that opening the door to some digital signs could lead to lawsuits from other companies who might want to build more.
"There is a very real potential that it may not stop at four," Brown said. "And when you open that Pandora's box, how do you put the lid back on?"
Vista canceled its plans for two billboards — one near Melrose Drive and another west of Sycamore Avenue — in late July, saying the city couldn't afford an environmental study examining how the project might affect the surrounding area.
The proposed billboards had generated strong opposition from residents in south Vista.
Greg Shull, another partner at BGT Media, said preliminary environmental studies are underway to determine if a full Environmental Impact Report on the project was needed for the billboard in Oceanside.

PEARSON, TEXAS. Pearson is on Farm Road 471 and the Southern Pacific line, midway between Castroville and Natalia in east central Medina County. It was named for Frederick Stark Pearson, chief engineer of the Medina irrigation project. The town was laid out in 1912 on the Southern Pacific line between LaCoste and Noonan's Switch and was developed by the San Antonio Suburban Irrigated Farms Company under the direction of agent Charles F. C. Ladd. Pearson was near a Medina irrigation canal. No lots in the projected townsite were sold, and the area reverted to irrigated farm acreage. The Pearson School was established in 1925 and was classified as an intermediate school of seven grades. Equipment available at the school included "Texas history charts, physiology charts, Striker's reading charts, a planetarium, Compton's Encyclopedia, a printing set, flash cards, a hectograph, one Webster's Dictionary, a flag and pole, and a good water system." One business operated in the community in 1931. In 1989 Pearson had a catfish farm, the Chacon Lake Baptist Church, and several residences.

Western Carolina University's new student body president, Alecia Lorann Page, was recently elected to a leadership position with the University of North Carolina Association of Student Governments and she also was chosen to receive one of that organization's highest honors.
Page was elected to serve as senior vice president of the ASG during the group's April meeting. The ASG, composed of student body presidents and three delegates from each of the 17 UNC system schools, advocates for educational affordability and accessibility for UNC students.
At the same meeting, Page was announced as this year's recipient of the ASG's Eve Marie Carson Servant Leader Award. Named in honor of a UNC-Chapel Hill student body president who was killed in 2008, the award is bestowed annually on a UNC system student who exemplifies the characteristics of a servant leader and serves as a role model for aspiring student leaders.
Page was chosen to receive the Carson Award in recognition of her work with "Cuts Hurt," a student-led campaign to communicate with state legislators about the detrimental effects of state budget cuts on students in the UNC system. Page came up with the idea for the campaign, which started on WCU's campus before it was adopted by the ASG and spread to all UNC system schools.
"I was incredibly honored to receive the Eve Marie Carson Award, but there were multiple other students within ASG who fought for college affordability and quality of education in the UNC system," Page said. "I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work beside such dedicated, passionate student leaders who will impact the future of our state, and I look forward to making this year a successful one for ASG and for WCU's Student Government Association."
A rising senior from Shelby who is majoring in English with a concentration in literature, Page was elected by WCU students in April to serve as president of the university's SGA for the 2012-13 academic year. She had previously served as SGA vice president.
In her role as student body president in Cullowhee, Page will serve as an ex-officio member of the WCU Board of Trustees. She was sworn in to that position at the board's quarterly meeting on Friday, June 8.
Page is the daughter of John and Chrystal Page of Shelby. She graduated from Crest Senior High School in 2009.

After a turbulent offseason that featured names like Dwight Howard, Andrew Bynum, Andre Iguodala, Joe Johnson, Jeremy Lin, Ray Allen, and James Harden all changing locations, there is plenty to look forward to as an NBA fan from now until June. It's going to be a fun ride.
We live in a league full of stars, many of whom reside in big markets, which makes for plenty of story lines. So what are the top five NBA story lines to keep an eye out for this season?
5. Does Derrick Rose return to form?
Derrick Rose is the pulse of the Chicago Bulls, and his knee injury was absolutely devastating for the team, the city of Chicago, and the league in general. A torn ACL is never taken lightly, but it hurts a little more when it happens to someone who plays as hard and is as passionate as Rose.
We don't know when he will return, but the team is hopeful that it will be at some point this season. They're not going to take any risks, as you would expect with this type of injury to your franchise player. That means that this season could be a disappointing one for a team that was in the Eastern Conference Finals just two seasons ago.
Any time there is an ACL injury, you can't help but worry about how someone's explosiveness will recover. Derrick Rose is a player who's game is primarily based on his athleticism, speed, and explosiveness, which leads to huge concerns about whether he can return to form. This season might be a stretch, but hopefully he can be 100% by next season.
4. Will the Knicks and Nets develop a legitimate rivalry?
With two teams calling New York home, the race to become the best team in the state is officially on. Brooklyn added Joe Johnson and brought back Deron Williams, and are hoping for a healthy Brook Lopez that remembered how to rebound. The Knicks are always in the news, for better or for worse. Linsanity has moved to Houston, but the team added a lot through free agency, although their clubhouse is slowly turning into a nursing home.
I'm still not sure that either of these teams are very good. Deron Williams hasn't been nearly as good since he arrived in Brooklyn, and the rest of their roster is filled with overpaid players who only do one or two things well. The Knicks have their fair share of issues: whether Ray Felton can bounce back from an awful season, Stoudemire's health, Melo's play, and what they'll get out of their older veterans.
The Nets and Knicks both need to be good in order for this to be a legitimate rivalry, and I'm not sure it will happen. They should both be playoff teams, but I don't think there is any way that both of them finish in the top four in the Eastern Conference. There will be a ton of hype, but how much of it is warranted is questionable. It won't be much of a rivalry if they battle for the 6 seed year in and year out.
3. How good are James Harden and Jeremy Lin?
The Houston Rockets all of the sudden have an intriguing situation. As I previously wrote about, the two main guys on the Rockets have never been full-time go-to guys. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook drew the attention in Oklahoma City, and Lin has still only started 25 games in his career. They are now Option A and Option B, and will have opposing teams gunning for them every night.
The combination is a strange one. Both are pick-and-roll guards that need the ball in their hands, and neither are off-the-ball slashers. You get the sense that when one has the ball, the other will just be standing in the corner waiting for a kick out. Neither are very good defensively, and you have to get the sense that they will get torched by quick backcourts.
There will be a ton of news stories on this combination, but I'm skeptical at the moment. I have a hard time believing that both of them will live up to the hype, and earn their contracts.
2. Will the Lakers be as dominant as they are on paper?
This team should be absolutely dominant. They have the best big center in the league, one of the best shooting guards ever, the most skilled big man in the league, and a point guard who is one of the best at getting his teammates the ball in the right spots. But they still have to play the games.
There are a few points here. Kobe Bryant might try to install "Kobe Ball" all season, where he decides not to pass and take every shot. This takes the offense completely out of rhythm, and it's just not efficient basketball, particularly on a team this talented. Dwight Howard's health is a concern, although it looks like he should be in pretty good shape. As always, we never know what to expect out of Metta World Peace. They'll need his defense and perimeter shooting, which shouldn't be too much to ask. They really don't have a contingency plan for Metta, as Matt Barnes went to the other Los Angeles team.
They should be the Western Conference favorite, and the main challenger to the defending champion Miami Heat. But things don't always go according to plan.
1. Can LeBron repeat last season's performance?
Simply put, LeBron James was brilliant last season. He did everything you could possibly do for your team, which is why he won MVP, and eventually his first NBA championship. He initiated the offense, finished the offense, guarded every position, rebounded, and did anything else you could think of. It was an unbelievable run, and a much deserved ring.
Can he keep doing it? We know he has the ability, but it's tough to ask that much of anyone year in and year out. With the Miami Heat going small, LeBron will have to play a lot more minutes as the power forward, which could lead to some extra fatigue. He can do it, but it will wear him down at least a little.
This is where he can make his legacy. LeBron has his first ring, and he is in a position to start racking up the total. Is it really unrealistic to think he can win two more over the next three years?

Old folks driving
Before I begin writing, I must state a disclaimer - I am old. I will turn 73 in May. For the record, I believe that I am still a decent driver. I know my limitations and won't take the wheel in the dark. Also, I stay at the speed limit and follow the rules of the road.
Living in Florida has been a revelation. There are so many senior citizens here that we are bound to have contact with them every day. For the most part, we enjoy that. However, dealing with senior drivers has been a challenge.
For some reason, senior drivers believe that they deserve special treatment when they get behind the wheel. The other drivers must watch out for them and try to deduce their next move. Anyone who drives on Florida's roads must be a defensive driver.
An example - a friend of ours was badly hurt when a woman driver sideswiped his golf cart. She had not looked carefully both ways and blissfully charged out of her garage right into the golf cart. Many senior drivers believe that a car always has the right of way. So, if you are riding a golf cart or a scooter, you must be seriously aware of the surrounding traffic.
In another case, a gentleman was parking his vehicle at the grocery store. He wanted to get as close as he could to the front door, so he sat in the car with the motor running and watched for someone leaving the store. When he saw a suitable parking spot ready to open up, he pulled his car directly behind the other vehicle. Of course, he didn't give the other driver enough room to pull out, so both drivers were aggravated. They blew their horns at each other and waved their fists. Finally, the man in the parked vehicle got out of the car and told the over-eager driver to back off. As he did back off, he managed to bump into a cart pushed by an elderly lady and scared the beejeebers out of her.
Do you know how to take a corner? You turn on your blinker a while before making the turn. Then you get into the correct lane for the desired turn. When the turn comes, you keep a steady speed and make the curve.
Well, some of our senior Floridians have no idea about this process. They seldom remember to use blinkers. They also wait until the very last possible moment to get in the correct lane. Once there, they immediately smash on their brakes and take the corner at a snail's pace. Plus, when they make the turn, most of their car is in the wrong lane.
When driving on a divided highway, many elderly drivers forget the rule "Stay right except to pass." They might be planning a left turn in 20 miles, so they hug the left lane and go 35 miles an hour, preparing for the turn. All the traffic backs up, but our senior driver stays unaware and persists in his left lane travels.
Another problem arises when our seniors get behind the wheel of a golf cart. For many of them, the road is just a suggestion. Never mind the fact that cart paths are clearly marked and safely situated to make everyone's life easier. If he chooses to go across the grass and blaze his own trail, the rest of us are supposed to be prepared to duck for cover. There's one rebellious guy who never fails to drive his cart right through the miniature golf course, making the players jump out of the way.
I giggle when I see some of the women in our development who have baby carriages for their dogs. This practice is another whole issue about driving. Sometimes the dog wants to walk, so a leash is attached and the woman tries to multi-task - maneuvering the carriage while allowing the dog to walk (or in some cases, run) beside it. I have seen quite a few carriages going merrily down the road solo while the owner tries to corral her pup.
Our front gate has an electronic arm that goes up after our car's decal is recognized. Someone told me that the arm needs to be replaced regularly, because some folks just can't get it through their heads that it won't go up unless you slow down enough for the machine to register your car. Just another example of the fun and games abounding in a senior citizen development!

Second Chance Garage
For the Classic Car Restoration Enthusiast
Second Chance Garage
For the Classic Car Restoration Enthusiast
Second Chance Garage
For the Classic Car Restoration Enthusiast
By Patrick Smith
The Ford Mustang burst onto the automotive scene in April 1964 and commandeered the youth market that had been feebly attended to by cars such as the Corvair Monza and Plymouth Barracuda. The range and depth of models, engines and options available combined with low price made it a runaway success. Today it is a collector car classic, allowing anyone to dip his feet in the hobby without spending large piles of money.
A 1965 Mustang in Wimbledon White is always in style.
Mustang's evergreen popularity plus a strong aftermarket supply of parts and services make it an ideal car for the novice. There are some useful things to know should you decide to seek and buy an early Mustang. You can virtually restore an early Mustang around a pair of door hinges thanks to the robust parts supply but there's no reason to subject yourself to such agony. This guide will help you pick a stallion from the nags.
Identification by Year: The 1965 Mustang is distinguished by its chrome waffle iron grille. )There are many subtle difference between an early production Mustang called a 1964-1/2 and the 1965. Almost all of the details involve minor trim and engineering changes such as a switch from generators to alternators, different hood assemblies and variations in carpeting and interior appointments. They're all 1965 models for titles and identification. 1965 Mustangs come with the Falcon based dashboard unless ordered with the optional GT Equipment Group which included the circular fuel, oil, speedometer, amps and temperature gauges. For 1966, Mustangs used a finned grille and finned quarter panel moldings. If ordered as a GT model, the grille with twin fog lamps is used with fins in the background. All '66 Mustangs used the GT dash gauges as standard equipment.
The 1965 Mustang uses a chrome waffle plate grille.
The 1966 Mustang has chrome speared quarter vents and finned grille.
The 1967 Mustang is identifiable by the concave tail lamp deck and a larger rectangular grille that's recessed into the body work. The dashboard is new with large twin instrument pods and flashy trim similar to the Thunderbird model. The space is wider between the shock towers for installing an optional 390 V8 block. The 1968 Mustang is easily spotted as it's the only model with side marker lamps on the front and rear fenders.
The '68 is the only year with side marker lamps.
Engines & Transmissions: Mustang started out as a two door hardtop and convertible in the first production run. Engines were limited to inline six cylinders and the Challenger 260 V8 with the 289 V8 added later. You could get a two barrel A-code, a four barrel C-code and high performance K-code 289 version. Mustang offered a 390 cubic inch V8 for 1967 as part of their GTA option. The front suspension was modified to accommodate the hulking Thunderbird V8 engine. For 1968, a 302 V8 was added to eliminate the 289. In 1968 the car was carried over with a one major package change mid year to compete in drag racing. The 428 Cobrajet engine was installed in special order fastbacks and a couple of coupes. The performance was phenomenal. The 428 became a regular production option for 1969. Transmissions offered ranged from three speed manuals to Ford TopLoader four speeds and automatic C4 and C6 three speeds. The favored automatic, the C6, was only found in the 390 powered 1967 Mustang. The TopLoader was available from 1965 to 1968.
The 289 V8 is favored over the straight six but all are reliable and easy to maintain.
Desirable Options: With 1965 to 1966 Mustangs, the desired ones usually are well equipped cars especially the convertible and fastback models. The favored engines are the high performance K code V8 and C code four barrel 289. The D�cor interior option is very desirable with Pony upholstery, padded rear seat arm rest panels and deluxe dash and interior trim. The Rally Pac, air conditioning and floor console complete the list of most favored options. For 1967, the 390 GT engine option seemed exotic, but the -K code 289 was better for usable horsepower and was very rare in its final year. The inline sixes are reliable and very affordable Mustangs.
Desired options include a/c, rally pac and Pony Interiors.
What to Look for: When buying a Mustang, most of your attention will be on checking the body and the rest for the drive train and number checking to verify it has what you want. Since Mustangs are unibody cars without separate chassis and body, the structural integrity is very important. The key areas to check are the front floor torque boxes, the rear frame rails alongside the gas tank including the leaf spring perches, the front frame rails and engine saddle, the rocker panel and door sills. All of these areas are notorious for rust. It sounds scary, but in a well cared for car they usually are in sound condition. There are reproduction pieces now and they're good enough that proper installation will remove any threat to structural rigidity.

Red's in the 'Hood: Once Upon A Time's Meghan Ory to attend London Comic Con
Who's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? Certainly not Meghan Ory, best known for playing Red Riding Hood in hit fantasy drama Once Upon A Time and the latest special guest to be announced for this month's MCM London Comic Con.
A modern take on fairy tales created by Lost and Tron: Legacy writers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, Once Upon A Time sees the famous characters of Fairy Tale Land transported by the Evil Queen's curse to our world – specifically, the small seaside town of Storybrooke, Maine. Meghan Ory's character Ruby seems to be just a rebellious young waitress working in her Granny's diner – but her true identity is Red Riding Hood. In a twist on the classic tale, Once Upon A Time's Red isn't the one threatened by the Big Bad Wolf, though …she turns out to be a werewolf herself!
As well as appearing in Once Upon A Time, Meghan Ory is currently starring as Riley Neal in new sci-fi spy drama Intelligence, while Ory's other sci-fi credits include Supernatural, Sanctuary and Smallville.

Seeking form amidst the void.
But if that's not possible, gimme a Margarita...shaken, not stirred...and hold the salt, please.
Yes, some of the 'Stars' are very questionable, but then again they have to be able to pretty much take up to four months off to do the show and all the promos and so on- pretty tough for a working celebrity to do in most cases...plus the physical demands and pressures, I wouldn't want to try it (in front of millions of people!).
WetPaint has some info on the pros today:
For fans of the female Dancing With the Stars pros, this week has been full of disappointments. Fan faves Kym Johnson, Anna Trebunskaya, and Chelsie Hightower are all reportedly not returning to the show for Season 17, which caused some groans around the DWTS fandoms. Of course, just because they're out this season doesn't mean they can't return in the future in fact, there's a long history of pros doing just that.
To help ourselves feel between about beloved pros departing, here's a roundup of pros who have taken a season or more off, only to return even awesomer than before!
Alec Mazo. This much-missed hottie had a scattered run, taking parts in Seasons 1, 4, 5, 7, and 9.
Anna Trebunskaya. Nervous because Anna has been out for two seasons now? Don't worry, it's not the first time after joining in Season 2 she missed Season 3 and 4, as well as 7 and 8.
Ashly DelGrosso. One of the original DWTS pros, Ashly left the show after Season 3, returning for a single season during Season 10.
Chelsie Hightower. This isn't the first break Chelsie's taken: after joining the show in Season 7, she took a season off during Season 13, and returned for seasons 14-15.
Dmitry Chaplin. This sexy Russian was in for Seasons 8 and 9, then out for a while. He returned once more for Season 12, though unfortunately has not been seen as a competitor on the show since.
Derek Hough. Even the wonder boy of the ballroom has taken a break: he did not take part in Season 12 (he joined the show in Season 5).
Jonathan Roberts. Another original dancer, Jonathan stayed with the show until Season 9, but missed out on Seasons 3 and 7.
Karina Smirnoff. Karina joined in Season 3, and has been a consistent competitor, but even she took a break, for Season 10.
Kym Johnson. This is also not Kym's first time missing a season: After joining in Season 3, she took Season 10 off.
Lacey Schwimmer. Lacey hasn't been seen as a competing pro since Season 13 (miss ya, Lace!). Prior to that, she participated in Seasons 6-13, with the exception of Season 10.
Louis Van Amstel. This pro has been with the show since Season 1, but has was out for Seasons 3, 4, 7,8, 13, 14, 15, and 16. We hope to see him back in Season 17!
Maksim Chmerkovskiy. After joining the show in Season 2, Maks took a break for Season 6, and then came back for nine straight seasons. He dropped out again for Season 16; time will tell if he returns a second time.
I guess we know at least why Anna isn't back this season:
Dancing With the Stars' Anna Trebunskaya Pregnant With First Child! | E! Online
This is cause for a celebration, or at least a victory dance!
E! News can confirm that Dancing With the Stars' Anna Trebunskaya is expecting her first child.
A rep for the professional dancer explains that Trebunskaya is approximately four months along and will not be competing on the hit dancing competition show this season.
No word yet on whether she'll return to the ballroom next season. Us Weekly was the first to report of Trebunskaya's future new role as a mother.
The good news keeps coming for the ABC series, on Wednesday the official cast for the upcoming 17th season was unveiled.
And boy, does this look like one you don't want to miss.
I was just getting ready to post this news! I'm happy for Anna - she's going to be a great mum.
No one should have to dance backwards for all of their life.
Tristan and Valerie are on The View Tuesday. I stopped watching this show - but I will tune in to see these two
The average dog is a nicer person than the average person
-Andy Rooney-
I don't watch either unless someone I want to see is on, which in this case, there is. I'll try to catch their segment with my remote.
Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
-- Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759
I have my PVR set. I can FF through the rest of the show
The average dog is a nicer person than the average person
-Andy Rooney-
SO excited for her!
And I just saw this (otherwise, I would've DVR'd it, too!), so anybody who caught Tris and Val on The View, Puh-LEESE fill us in and give us the lowdown on their appearance earlier today!

april fools?
i work at Dell in server product development. I think it is important to inject a little realism into HP's claims about BL 260c being 64% more power efficient than other blades (specifically the PowerEdge M600). If you look into HP's disclosure, you will find that that number is based on comparing :
a BL260c with dual E5450 processors (3Ghz Harpertown, 12MB cache) running with an obscure power mode called "static low power" which basically turns it into a low voltage part, 8GB of memory (in a 2 x 4GB configuration), 1 SATA drive without a RAID controller
an M600 with dual E5345 processors (2.33Ghz Clovertown, 6MB cache) running at full power, 4GB of memory (in a 4 x 1GB configuration), 2 SAS drives + RAID controller.
So not only are these products not in the same class from a feature set standpoint (enterprise class vs. low featured SMB focused), but the creative license used to compare two products configured with vastly different features is amazing. If BL260c is so great in terms of energy efficiency, why didnt HP even try to compare apples to apples features?
if you want to see a true apples to apples, independent 3rd party evaluation of Dell vs. HP blades see http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/pedge/en/pe_blades_specjbb2005.pdf

text: West Bromwich - West Bromwich Albion midfielder Zoltan Gera has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee injury, the English Premier League club announced on Tuesday.The 33-year-old Hungary international injured his left knee during Saturday's 1-1 FA Cup third round draw at Queens Park Rangers and scans confirmed he'd ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament.It is the second time in as many campaigns that Gera has suffered a season-ending knee injury after a similar problem kept him sidelined from November 2011 to the start of this term.Gera, who has scored four goals in 18 appearances this season, is now set to undergo surgery next week and is expected to face between six to nine months' rehabilitation before regaining match fitness."I'm devastated for Zoltan," Baggies manager Steve Clarke told the club's official website. "He's a terrific guy and professional and I want to thank him for his contribution this season. It has been invaluable."He'll now get our full support during the rehab process. Zoltan has already proven he can come back from this injury once and produce at the highest level and I have no doubts he will do so again."All of Gera's goals this season have helped secure league wins, with the Hungarian on target in victories over Liverpool, QPR, Sunderland and Norwich.West Brom, currently an impressive seventh in the Premier League table, are away to Reading on Saturday.

403 Forbidden
By Mary Pat Angelini
A letter from a woman whose son is addicted to drugs received a lot of attention after it was read on the air during a call-in show with Gov. Christie. The letter was a vivid example of an epidemic in New Jersey that goes beyond the inner cities. It showed how drugs destroy lives and families.
The current drug-offender system is not sufficient to stop addiction. Many good people who suffer from a deadly disease belong in treatment, not in jail. Many of us want to mandate drug treatment for nonviolent offenders instead of locking them up into a life-long cycle of drug addiction and crime.
As an advocate for keeping young people drug-free, I often hear families' tragic stories, so, three months ago, I joined a bipartisan group of legislators at the Rescue Mission in Trenton to support Gov. Christie's proposal to mandate drug treatment.
Several colleagues and I introduced A2991, which would require mandatory treatment for certain nonviolent offenders; I want to get this legislation passed soon.
Drug courts in New Jersey and throughout the nation are proven to repair lives and families, reduce crime and save taxpayer money. Data from the National Association of Drug Court Professionals indicate a number of benefits:
• Seventy-five percent of drug court graduates remain arrest-free for at least two years.
• Taxpayers save more than $3 in criminal justice costs for every dollar invested in drug courts. Some studies, which factor in other savings, such as reduced victimization and health-care costs, estimate there is a $27 benefit for every dollar invested.
• Drug courts are six times more likely to keep offenders in treatment long enough to get better.
• Family re-unification rates are 50 percent higher for drug court participants.
In New Jersey, nearly 5,000 offenders are receiving treatment through drug courts, and 1,930 have successfully graduated since 2002, according to the state judiciary, which estimates the current program saves taxpayers more than $23 million per year. That figure does not include societal benefits such as reunited families, drug-free babies and offenders turned into productive members of society.
Our proposal will build upon the proven success of drug courts and provide new hope for families struggling with the addiction of their loved ones. It's time we had an effective approach to break the chains of addiction.
Mary Pat Angelini represents the 11th District in the New Jersey General Assembly, where she is Republican deputy conference leader.

"Any report or tweet that he was on a boat is completely inaccurate," spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.
John Kerry likes boats. He likes windsurfing. He doesn't seem to be much good at foreign policy. Obama probably should have made a job for him like Secretary of Windsurfing. Or Czar of Yachting. Considering all the useless czars already out there, it wouldn't have even stood out that much.
But Kerry seems determined to finish his career by doing the same useless things he did as senator while calling himself Secretary of State. One of those things is spending a lot of time on his boat. The other is lying about it.
While Egypt melted down, Kerry took some time off to be with his beloved Isabel. A yacht that has gotten him in trouble before. Kerry's spokeswoman, an Obama vet, however denied that Kerry was in any shape or form swiftboating it in.
"Since his plane touched down in Washington at 4 a.m., Secretary Kerry was working all day and on the phone dealing with the crisis in Egypt," spokeswoman Jen Psaki said. "He participated in the White House meeting with the president by secure phone and was and is in non-stop contact with foreign leaders, and his senior team in Washington and Cairo. Any report or tweet that he was on a boat is completely inaccurate."
Except it turned out to be very accurate.
On Thursday night, CBS News obtained a photo of Kerry on his boat and sent it to the State Department, asking whether they still stand by their denial that Kerry was on a boat.
The response: "Yes."
Maybe it was Kerry's evil twin brother. It would explain all the flip flops.
In the wake of the Herald story, a State Department spokeswoman admitted yesterday that Kerry was "briefly" aboard his $7 million luxury craft, the Isabel, on the day of the coup, after previously insisting the yacht sighting was "completely inaccurate."
"While he was briefly on his boat on Wednesday," State Department spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki said, "Secretary Kerry worked around the clock all day."
Except for all the time he was on the boat. I don't think Psaki understands the concept of around the clock. She probably thinks it's a retro 50s diner.
The Herald front-page story captured a series of photos of Kerry paddling a kayak in shorts and a polo shirt.
Around the clock.

A Long Island, New York, school district released a summer reading list for its students. While this is a common act on the part of teachers and administrators across the nation, this particular list, distributed by the Hempstead Public Schools, is making headlines, because the document is riddled with spelling errors.
Not one. Not two or even three. But more than 30 blunders — many of which simple edits should have caught.
Now, before we continue, it's essential to note that all human beings are error-prone, so mistakes can almost always be expected. However in this case, it's somewhat curious that a document being distributed to children would have more than 30 mistakes, particularly when the list is intended to spawn learning (and, more specifically, reading) among those children who receive it.
Some of the issues surround the title of books, while others are merely incorrect author names. Take, for instance, "The Great Gatsby." On the summer reading list, the book is listed as, "The Great Gypsy." A more minor error is author Emily Bronte's name, which is misspelled as Emily Bonte.
You can see the list, below (or read it here):
According to Newsday and News 12 Long Island, these are just a few of the more than 30 errors on the list provided by Hempstead Public Schools.
In a statement, a member of the New York State Department of Education's Board of Regents said the mistakes indicated that a stable administration was essential for children to get a good education. The statement said, "Hempstead has not had a stable administration for a long time and the kids are suffering."
Hempstead Superintendent Susan Johnson didn't immediately return a call for comment.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Lowes Volunteer
Review for Aid Our Veterans Inc, Baltimore, MD, USA
We are a group of workers at Lowe's in Columbia MD. Our company helped Aid Our Veterans last summer build some wheel chair ramps for the veterans with physical handicaps. Aid Our Veterans has a home in Baltimore where they help disabled veterans from the Vietnam war up to the Iraq & Afghanistan war. It was so heart warming to volunteer and build these ramps for our injured soldiers.

The age old question, you 'have to' or you 'get to'?
By BROOKS TAYLOR
Mt. Pleasant News
They're all graduated and starting on their next chapter in life.
Graduation snuck up on me this year. That's what happens when you don't have a child or someone you know graduating. Occasionally, I will include a tidbit or two of advice in this forum prior to area graduations.
This year, I missed the opportunity. As I write this (on Wednesday, May 29), I remember that today is the anniversary of my high school graduation. That was decades ago (I am not saying how many decades, but suffice to say, it was not in the 21st Century).
Next year could be different. The caboose (final one of four children) picks up her diploma in 2014. Over the years, I have wondered what thoughts will be going through my mind when I watch her walk across the stage in a gymnasium 300 miles from here. No doubt it will be bittersweet. I am sure next year, like the past three, will bring as much sadness as joy. Due to circumstances, I have missed her high school years and next year will watch her senior year from afar. For a parent, that it was one of the most difficult pills to swallow.
That, however, is not the intended message of this week's column. Rather, it is a message to the Class of 2013. WACO social studies instructor Renea Reichenbach is bailing me out. Her message to WACO's seniors on May 19 was one of the best I've heard in recent years. It was a home run, so to speak, and she was kind enough to send it to me so I could share it with you. Following is her message (with the "shout outs" to the individual seniors omitted).
Good afternoon graduates, colleagues, families and guests of this WACO Class of 2013. It was an honor to be asked by this class to speak today; they are giving me the opportunity to share what I know with them (knowing that it won't even be on a test!). So, class of 2013, listen up, because you asked for this.
I have three pieces of advice for you today. The first one is the most important. Adopt a "get-to" attitude in life. Replace the "have-to" dread with the "get-to" outlook. I decided I didn't "have" to write a speech for today. I get to. You don't have to further your education. You get to. Only 7 percent of the world has a college education. Most of this class is going on to college, and many take it for granted, some even dread the work ahead. Don't. Most of the world's population hasn't had and will never get the opportunity you have right now.
Replace the "have to" with the "get to." You don't have to spend time with your family. You get to. People who love you and have supported you are in this crowd today excited for what's ahead of you. Once you've left the nest, call home, stop by and take time to connect. Facebook status updates should not be the primary way they keep up with what's going on in your lives.
Replace the "have to" with the "get to." You don't have to go to work. You get to. I love what I do for a living, but will let you in on a little secret. Some days the job leaves me absolutely exhausted and feeling like I have little left to give. It's a rare day that I finish in eight hours the work that needs to be done. The same can't be said of your other teachers. I hope that you're each able to find fulfilling jobs, but also want you to know that if you're only doing the work "required" of you, you're not ever going to get ahead. And you shouldn't. Almost half of the world lives on less than $2 a day. Most of you drop more than that on a trip to the concession stand. I've heard some of you complaining about the work you've been doing in the last couple months. Yes, you've been busy. Guess what? It was a foreshadowing of what's to come and you're lucky to be able to do it. You made it though the challenges of high school, and can use those lessons to make it through what's to come. Go above and beyond in all you're asked to do, and be grateful for the opportunity to do so.
Replace the "have to" with the "get to." You don't have to give to charities or volunteer in your community. You get to. You don't have to clean your apartment or dorm room. You get to. You don't have to be by a loved one's side as they fight disease or injury. You get to. You don't have to volunteer someday to coach your kids' teams, teach their Sunday School classes, guide them in finishing 4-H projects or read them books before bed. You get to. Hopefully you've thanked your parents for doing this all for you. If you haven't, do so. You don't have to apologize when you wrong someone, and you don't have to forgive when you've been wronged. You get to. Be thankful for the opportunities that so many people negatively consider chores. Seize the opportunity to do all that we get to do and approach your responsibilities with the attitude that you're fortunate to get to do them.
My second piece of advice is related to a social change I find alarming. Live your life in the real world, with face-to-face communication, and not on Twitter and Facebook. I'm not saying social media is bad. Just don't let it become your reality. Don't let Facebook pictures and status updates become a way of comparing or measuring the success of your life. If you start to feel yourself doing so, then take a break from Facebook. Don't use tweets or online comments as platforms for announcing to the world your problems with others. If you have a problem with someone, have a grown-up face-to-face conversation. Unfortunately, some unkind words are posted on Facebook or tweeted on Twitter that decent people would never say aloud. It's disheartening, because in those words I find myself hurting for the person who's been harmed and questioning the integrity of the person posting the comment next to their profile picture. I find myself questioning the character of people who "like" the status. Seriously, when you post or tweet something that doesn't "mesh" with who you are in face-to-face interactions, you leave people wondering who the real you is. If you wouldn't say it to someone's face, you shouldn't write it. Bambi's mother had it right. Be kind. You'll enjoy life a lot more if you are, and you'll make others' lives more enjoyable as well.
Nineteen years ago I was sitting in this gym, wearing the graduation robe, both anxious and eager for the journey ahead. I'm convinced the preparation I received at WACO was key to my success in college and beyond. I've taught at other quality schools, but am convinced 100 percent there is tremendous value in what you gain here as an individual and not simply as an academic learner. It's why I choose to live here and send my three sons to school here. The personal interactions here and opportunities to develop your talents in a wide range of activities have built up your abilities to meet the challenges life is going to throw at you. So, my final piece of advice to you is to take pride in where you've come from and show gratitude to those who helped you get here. Live your lives in ways that make us proud to say we played a role in creating you.
It's been fun to attend many of your graduation parties and see pictures from your pasts and hear you talk about your plans for the future. My future no longer includes you as my students.
…There is so much I could thank this class of 2013 for. I have been fortunate to get to teach you and thank you for the role you've played in making me a better teacher. Go forward from here with a get-to attitude about all that's ahead of you.

'Naming and shaming is my only option' - Owner of well-known dress shop calls for investigation after female gang robbery
An owner of a well-known dress rental shop has called for an investigation after her shop was robbed by a group of women.
Kara Maher has spoken out about the incident and said she witnessed a group of women stuffing their buggies and tops with her stock.
The incident took place at 'Frock n Fabulous', Exchequer Street on Sunday, May 22.
Ms Maher told RTE's Liveline today that six "foreign women" entered her dress shop and took dresses off the rails, putting them into their buggies and up their tops.
Kara posted photos of the culprits on her Facebook as she said "naming and shaming seems to be my only option."
"I had to physically tackle these girls who were robbing dresses, putting them into buggy and up their tops. I tried stopping them at door but they pushed past me. I work so hard at my business. It's my livelihood yet these girls keep robbing," she wrote.
"My business can't sustain this level of theft."
Another caller Austin O'Malley of O'Malley Electrical in Charleville told Joe that he experienced a similar theft in his shop.
"A woman walked into the shop and she put her hand on an electric iron. She lifted her skirt and put the box under and attached it to something under her skirt and then she just walked out the door.
"She sailed out the door without a bother. I was looking on but what could I do. She had it under her skirt," Austin said.
"The manner in which she was dressed would suggest that she was of a particular ethnic I suppose."
Austin said that she ran to a car approximately 20 yards down the road.
"She was in the shop I'd say for 10 or 12 seconds I'd say. It was very quick, she was very good at it and sure what could I do, I couldn't approach her."
"It was educational. I was shocked how she made it look so easy. I'm sure stuff was stolen from the shop before but I had never seen it," he said.
"For €20 would you be bothered taking that risk? The risk doesn't come near logic."
Una O'Reilly owner of Allicano dress shop on South William Street also shared a similar experience.
"Last Saturday the exact same group came into my shop," Una said.
She said that she looked at the photos that Kara put on Facebook and saw that it was the same group who tried to rob her shop.
"I have them on camera and I looked at photos that (Kara) put up on Facebook, they're exactly the same as the photo."
Una said she refused to let the women out of the shop and blocked their exit.
"They're not Irish. A group of four of them came in and they had pockets built into their skirt because I could see them and they were trying to get the clothes in and I said I don't have what you're looking for," said Una.
"They weren't scared, they were in there for the long haul but I wouldn't let them out. I work too hard. I design and make the clothes. I work 18 hours a day, there's no way they were getting past me."
"It's very stressful. They don't seem to care because nothing happens to them."
Gardai were unable to confirm to the independent.ie that an investigation was underway.

In natural horsemanship treats are used as an incentive. Have you ever met a horse who thought everything you did was boring until a treat was involved? What about a horse who thought feeding time was the end of the world and would try to run you over unless you got the feed out in record time? Well this is the kind of horse that needs an incentive to do what you want them to do. Otherwise you will have to force them and you should know by now that natural horsemanship is a force-less training method.
Conventional riders give their horses treats, but for the wrong reasons. When using treats as an incentive with horses you have to consider the horse's personality and not assume every horse will think of a treat as an incentive. The word incentive is the key. If you are only giving treats because you think your horse will like you more then that is known as a bribe. If you want to bribe your horse to like you then good luck. One day the treats won't hold the power you thought they did and then what will you do?
Are you ready to become a Pro?
Cashel Just Rewards Treat Pocket - $9.95
The Cashel Just Rewards Treat Pocket is a discrete pocket that straps to your belt allowing you to carry your horse's favorite treat. Hook and loop closures make it sturdy and easy to open and close.
Ginger Ridge Meadow Mints Horse Treats - $10.59
Ginger Ridge Meadow Mints Horse Treats. All natural crunchy and delicious oven baked treat for horses or ponies. Made without excess sugar Meadow Mints are perfect as a treat or reward.

The Jakarta MRT, Mass Rapid Transit train system, is planned to open in 2014.
September 2014 is the planned date for the completion of the first phase of the Jakarta MRT, partial subway rail system, a project which has been planned since 1984 but repeatedly delayed. Construction is intended to begin in 2008, or early 2009. Previously construction had been planned for 2007. gatra
The MRT will be built in two stages, the first network will connect the suburb of Lebak Bulus in South Jakarta with Dukuh Atas in Central Jakarta, extending for 14.5 km's, 4 km's of them underground, and will have twelve stations, and the second will continue from Dukuh Atas to Kota in North Jakarta. The estimated cost of construction is 9 trillion rupiah, or about $1 billion. wartaekonomi
The MRT is expected to operate between the hours of 6am and midnight, with trains travelling at an average speed of 35 km's per hour, arriving at stations at five minute intervals at peak time, extending to 15 minute intervals late at night. bappedajakarta
The team in charge of the planning of the MRT consists of four representatives from Japan and four from Indonesia. Japan is the main source of funds for the project after having already provided on 28th November 2006 a soft loan of 800 million dollars. The loan is to be repaid at an interest rate of 0.4% over forty years, with a further 10 year grace period. gatra
Materials for the construction of the subway will derive from local sources (30%), Japan (30%) and the remainder from elsewhere. The design and operating system for the MRT will be largely the same as to be found in Japan.
August 21st 2007. The Jakarta Post says that the central government and the city administration will start work in 2010 on the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system for Jakarta. Transportation Ministry secretary general Wendy Aritenang, the chairman of the MRT steering committee, said construction was expected to be completed by the end of 2014.
Ehmmm nice to hear that Jakarta will have MRT, its avoid tarffic jam very bad specially during office hour, really look forward, and hoping the MRT will be nice and safety to use fro public.
Hi, I'm from KL Malaysia, Jakarta is a second home to me. It is nice to hear that at last Jakarta will have its own MRT/LRT.
The LRT System in KL is operated by a single transportation entity known as RapidKL. The transportation company is actually running an integrated Bus & LRT services for the city and the Klang Valley area. KL and its suburbs are referred to collectively as the Klang Valley. The LRT services in the Klang Valley are run on two main lines namely the Kelana Jaya Line (previously known as PUTRA LRT) and Ampang Line (known before as STAR LRT).
Besides the two LRT Lines KL also have other Transit Network Train that integrated with each other. Other transit network are KL Monorail, ERL (Express Rail Link) and KTM Komuter. These transit network covers major places in KL and the surrounding urban areas. http://www.malaxi.com/Map_transit.htm
These facilities has significantly reduced amount of motor vehicles in the road especially in hectic urban areas. And for me the systems really help me save money on fuel, parking, and vehicle maintenance.
The trains also offers special accessibility features for public with mobility difficulties, including elevators, escalators, automatic doors, downtown pedway, and ect.
Furthermore the trains operate on electricity, which can help reduce air pollution from vehicle emissions and green house gasses. A transit rider creates fewer greenhouse gas emissions than an motor vehicle user for the same trip.
I believe the time has come for city as sophisticated and democratic as Jakarta moving forward with light rail to improve the quality of life and reduce the harm that cars inflict on the urban areas.

The BBC has lined up a cast including Jenny Agutter, Miranda Hart and Pam Ferris to star in Call The Midwife, a new Sunday night drama based on the million-selling memoirs of Jennifer Worth.
The BBC1 drama – penned by Cranford and Upstairs, Downstairs writer Heidi Thomas – will delve into tales of life and midwifery in London's East End in the 1950s.
The BBC has cast the 26-year-old stage actress Jessica Raine in the lead role of Jenny in the new six-part series. Sitcom star Hart will take her first dramatic role as her best friend and fellow midwife Chummy.
The drama is based on a trilogy of best-selling memoirs by Worth, who worked with the show's makers up until her death earlier this month aged 75, which have become a word-of-mouth hit, selling close to 1m copies.
The BBC describes its adaptation as "a moving, intimate, funny and, above all, true to life look at the colourful stories of midwifery and families in East London in the 1950s".
In the six-part series, which will air early next year, Jenny lives with a community of nuns and nurses with Agutter playing sister Julienne, Little Dorrit's Ferris playing Sister Evangelina and Judy Parfitt playing sister Monica Joan.
The series was commissioned by BBC1 controller Danny Cohen and drama controller Ben Stephenson and is being made by Neal Street Productions.
"This superb cast of some of our best established and new actresses will bring to life the extraordinary true stories and friendships of midwifery and family in 1950s East End London," said Stephenson.
The show is being executive produced by Pippa Harris, who has credits including Revolutionary Road, and Christopher Aird at the BBC.
"Jennifer was an incredible woman and was as forthright and as opinionated when we were working together as she was when she wrote about her astonishing life," said Harris. "I think viewers will be gripped by her insight into a world that, whilst being only 50 years ago, is so drastically different from how we now live."

Robert Plant has hinted that he may be open to a Led Zeppelin reunion after all, according to Rolling Stone.
In an interview with Australia's version of "60 Minutes," the 64-year-old singer denied he's the reason for the band not following up on its successful reunion show in 2007 in London.
"(Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones) are Capricorns. They don't say a word. They're quite contained in their own worlds and they leave it to me," said Plant. "I'm not the bad guy. You need to see the Capricorns — I've got nothing to do in 2014."
So, he's calling them goats?
Plant, Page and Jones reunited to play London's O2 Arena on December 10, 2007, with Jason Bonham drumming in place of his late father, John. Page and Jones said afterward they were willing to tour, but Plant seemed disinterested, as well as tied up with other projects.
Page and Jones considered finding a replacement before abandoning their plans, said Rolling Stone. Their 2007 show was released as "Celebration Day" last year. In November, Page told the magazine Plant "was busy." The band also entered negotiations a streaming music deal last month.

Great Courses. Great Product.
Writing in City Journal, Heather Mac Donald on the marvelous public service provided by Great Courses:
And the company offers a treasure trove of traditional academic content that undergraduates paying $50,000 a year may find nowhere on their Club Med–like campuses. This past academic year, for example, a Bowdoin College student interested in American history courses could have taken "Black Women in Atlantic New Orleans," "Women in American History, 1600–1900," or "Lawn Boy Meets Valley Girl: Gender and the Suburbs," but if he wanted a course in American political history, the colonial and revolutionary periods, or the Civil War, he would have been out of luck. A Great Courses customer, by contrast, can choose from a cornucopia of American history not yet divvied up into the fiefdoms of race, gender, and sexual orientation, with multiple offerings in the American Revolution, the constitutional period, the Civil War, the Bill of Rights, and the intellectual influences on the country's founding. There are lessons here for the academy, if it will only pay them heed.

tokyo - kyoto - kagoshima/ibusuki - tokyo
Our travel plans are:
3/28 flIght into tokyo (narita airport)
On 4/12, can JR get us from Kagoshima/Ibusuki to Narita airport in time to check-in and board for our 8PM flight?
Hi Ichi,
In order to board the 8pm flight, you should aim to be in Narita by 6pm. While you can travel from Ibusuki on the same day this will mean a very early start getting the train at 7am and arriving at 5:30pm. As this trip will be followed by a flight, you may find it hard going. Here are some tips:
Showers and day rooms at Narita
At Narita you can rent a shower room or small bedroom by the 30 mins period. I really recommend you use these to refresh yourself before your flight - they make a huge difference, are very clean and well organised, and cost around ¥500 per session.
Consider travelling up Japan a little the day before
You'll have an easier time if you aim to get the train from Kagoshima, or perhaps try to travel up the country a little the day before. How about overnighting in Fukuoka - there is great cuisine in the Hakata district and it is a bustling city. Alternatively, you could think about a day and night in Hiroshima/Miyajima which will break the journey back up to Tokyo nicely.
Hope this helps!
Thanks! Breaking up the return trip back sounds good.
where can find a shower room?
Hi there,
Here's some information on shower rooms and day rooms at Narita
I would also agree - after a long airplane flight you will probably arrive as the walking dead. Getting some rest and refreshing yourself is one of the best things you can do for yourself. Take some eye drops and aspirin with you during the flight - you will likely need them.
For Fukuoka, don't miss the Nanzoin Temple which is one of Japan's finest yet almost totally unknown to the outside world and completely FREE!
Look into a Fukuoka Tourist City Pass also.
You can also see a lot of previews on the best there is to see here.

Three-year extension is defeated, stage set for debate in 90 day
February 16, 2011
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Below is a statement from Senator Rand Paul (Ky.) regarding his vote against the renewal of the USA PATRIOT Act, and the Senate's 90-day agreement, which sets the stage for debate and amendments to the renewal legislation.
"The Senate yesterday proposed a three-year extension of the PATRIOT Act, a move that would not have allowed for any hearings, amendments, or debate. I objected to this deal. I realize that I might not have the votes to stop this bill, but we should at least discuss this in public as adults.
"We should have the opportunity to explain why the Constitution is being violated. We should talk about how we do not have to give up who we are in order to fight terrorism. It is not acceptable to willfully ignore the most basic provisions of our Constitution—in this case—the Fourth and First Amendments—in the name of 'security.'
"As Senators, we should be able to have debate and offer amendments to try to fix the egregious problems with the PATRIOT Act. And Senate leaders have agreed to this. Within 90 days there will be an open debate and amendments on the PATRIOT Act. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, publicly committed on the Senate floor this afternoon to a week of examination including amendments and debate. While I oppose any extension of the PATRIOT Act, and will vote no, I do welcome the chance to actually talk about this subject over the next few months.
"This victory for discussion was only possible because we stood firm when they pressed for the three-year extension. It is only possible because liberty-loving Americans are standing up. For us to prevail in 90 days, more will need to do so.
"I will stand and fight. I will offer amendments to address the problems with the bill, and I will attempt to convince my colleagues that our oath to uphold the Constitution should always be our first priority as Senators of the United States."
