Cyril Smith abuse claims: Family 'saddened' by new book
The family of the late Sir Cyril Smith have said they are "saddened" by claims made against him in a new book written by a serving MP.
The author, and current Rochdale MP, Simon Danczuk claims Sir Cyril used his position of power to sexually abuse young boys and then escape prosecution.
The former Rochdale MP's family said they were concerned by the book's claims so long after his death "when he is unable to defend himself".
Police said Sir Cyril was a sex abuser.
'Always denied accusations'
Mr Danczuk said previously he asked police to re-examine the case after "a number of victims came to see me and raise concerns".
The Labour MP claimed in 2012 there was "little doubt" that Smith raped some of his victims.
The family issued a statement following the serialisation of the book Smile for the Camera: the Double Life of Cyril Smith in the Daily Mail.
It stated: "The Smith family continues to be saddened and concerned by the allegations made so long after Sir Cyril Smith's death and at a time he is no longer able to defend himself, as other celebrities and politicians have recently been able to do, in high profile court cases.
"Evidence has never been presented to the family during their meetings and conversations with police regarding many of the accusations made by Simon Danczuk MP, newspaper reporters and others.
"Sir Cyril always denied accusations made against him while he was living."
The family requested they are now "left alone" by the press in particular the former Rochdale MP's brother Norman Smith MBE, who is 82.
The Smith family said it would continue to co-operate with any further investigations.
Residential school
On Saturday, police confirmed a total of seven former pupils at Rochdale's Knowl View residential school linked to the late Liberal Democrat MP have alleged they were sexually and physically abused by "at least 11" people from the 1970s onwards.
Police said four more people had come forward but could not confirm if any of the new complaints related to the politician.
Smith was chairman of governors at the council-run school for vulnerable boys which closed in 1992.
Allegations emerged in 2012 that the MP abused boys at the school.
An independent review into the way it was run is due to report to Rochdale Council next month.
Sir Cyril, who died in 2010 aged 82, has also been accused of abusing eight youngsters at Cambridge Hostel, also in Rochdale.
The Crown Prosecution Service said he should have been charged with sex crimes 40 years ago.

Kept to an extremely small footprint and without external dependencies, DRP offers customers a modern provisioning tool capable of supporting existing service destinations regardless of resource.
RackN builds management and automation tooling to operate DRP via a first-class CLI and our air gap self-hosted and SaaS-based RackN Portal solution. Using our workflow paradigm, customers are able to monitor and control every step in the process from resource identification to provisioning to tear down.
FAQs about RackN and Digital Rebar Platform:
- Is your product a service? No. Our product is software that is operated by our customers behind their firewalls. We do not provide a managed service, hosted offering or appliance.
- What type of virtualization do you use? None. Our product automates the actual physical infrastructure using its native APIs (PXE, IPMI, DHCP, etc).

Bangkok (at the Foundation): 1 June
A.Sujin, Sarah Jon, Sukinder and Betty.
Woman 1: And he had a little discussion with us when we met in Sydney, and then she met us and our friends and had a little more discussion, but she is not very familiar with the pali terms. And she just can't form … in Thailand where she, I think you have visited a Buddhist temple there.
Someone: Yeah, yeah.
Woman 1: … came from Chennai, where she spent two weeks, at a temple there.
Someone: *Laughs* yeah, a temple, where you pray.
A.Sujin: Is retreat better than not retreat?
Woman 2: The retreatments are very, um, rewarding. And challenging. And I find it very difficult to leave to retreat. I could have stayed there for, uh, much, much longer. And I therefore, found it very hard to get back to daily life and, you know.
A.Sujin: So whats the different between retreat and no retreat?
Woman 2: it was silence. It was a silent retreat.
A.Sujin: And do you have any idea what silent is?
Woman 2: uh, not silent in my head but, silent. External silence.
A.Sujin: Is there no attachment to silence?
Woman 2: I think I got very attached to silence.
A.Sujin: So, you want more attachment, because you don't want to leave retreat right?
Woman 2: Yes.
A.Sujin: and that is why people like to have so much attachment. And be afraid to lose, that pleasant feeling of that thing attached to you. Is attachment right understanding?
Woman 2: attachment is right understanding?
A.Sujin: Is it? Is attachment right understanding?
Woman 2: aa, I am not sure.
A.Sujin: And can attachment understand anything?
Woman 2: umm, no.
A.Sujin: not at all?
Woman 2: no. Its not good to have an attachment. But, you cannot help having attachments.
A.Sujin: Having more attachment or less?
Woman 2: He taught that, you cannot help having attachments.
A.Sujin: Right.
Woman 2: Therefore, you mustn't
A.Sujin: to go and control, when retreat is controlled?
Woman 2: Right.
A.Sujin: in a proper place, or um, somewhere, you think its nice?
Woman 2: Yeah
Man 1: but you know, some people can go to places, just to enjoy.
A.Sujin: Enjoy? What is enjoyment?
Man 1: …..
A.Sujin: Yeah, and its adhere. It's the only thing which is attached.
Man 1: so its okay, its just attachment.
A.Sujin: Attachment is attachment, you cannot understand reality or anything as it is.
Man 1: so someone can go to retreat, to not understand but to get
A.Sujin: to get more attached. From the moment one get closer, and stay there for how long, there is more and more attachment. Otherwise, it is not attachment. It is understanding. With that conditions for understanding. Science is not a condition for understanding at all. Otherwise, Buddha wouldn't teach anything.
Man 1: ……
Woman 3: when I think of one of these kinds of retreats, days ago, when they just have silence. And the problem with this is, you cannot discuss what they are teaching with anyone. Like its very difficult to even ask questions to the teacher. And I found the whole experience to be, I, I didn't have attachment to it at all and I had the very opposite. I found it to be, almost a waste of time. For myself, for people who find it good, but for myself I found it to be a waste of time. Simply because, it wasn't teaching me anything and what it did teach was wrong. It taught of form of, um, what the teacher called it, meditation.
Man 1: ….
Woman 3: it cannot… um, what Sujin was saying, anyone who went to retreat, its mostly attachment you didn't want to leave because there are more attachments. So she doesn't necessarily think that, she knows there is something that is not pleasant for her, i0'ts not something necessarily different from, for example, when are in Sydney together, we go swimming because we enjoy, or go out for a nice meal , because we enjoy it. And it's the danger just when one thinks it is. Also, for developing understanding.
A.Sujin: what is here at this moment, or at that moment or those moments? And can that, um, it be understood? Or it can be known as it is? This is the point between knowing, understanding and not understanding what's better. Realities are realities, when you talk about swimming or going to somewhere, they are moments, conditioned to be such and such, uncontrollable. But right understanding can see it as not self. Just very temporarily, realities, conditioned, are rising and falling away in pieces, where are they now? Every moment is like that, this is the way to let go, not get attached to. And this is a teaching of Buddha. Because he taught everyone to to not be attached to anything. To what? That was just gone. Completely, right now, see? So it has to be right understanding, so you can understand the reality, which arises now and falls away now. Otherwise there is no way to say or think that it is uncontrollable, in understanding, it's not you. It rises and falls away. Understanding is not a … at all. It helps. To know what's through and what's not through. For example, what is seen now, see, why there is attachment? Or is there no attachment? Of that which is seen or is it there, instantly? Uncontrollable, taking something for permanent. But realities or conditioned realities, are not permanent at all.
A.Sujin: Why do we study, any subject? Because we like to know or understand it. Right. And this is a great subject. So it begins at this moment. There can be interaction to see the reality of this moment, more and more. To have attachment for, taking something permanent, when nothing is permanent. Is it funny to claim to something, which is not coming back, not at all. Just cling and cling and cling, like in a dream. And can you think of the reality, as it is, by yourself? Anywhere, when you in a silent place, secluded place, alone there, by yourself, can you? Having such an understanding by yourself? Or you need the teachings, from the person who has enlightened, truth, of everything. See, there is something it seems, when there is seeing, but what is there which is seen? What reality is there, which can be seen? Can hardness be seen? Can sound be seen? Can smell be seen? What is now which appears, that there is a reality which is seen right now? What is it which is seen? *Laughs* no understanding but there is clinging, instantly to which is seen? Without the teachings of the Buddha, no one can think about it, as it is.
A.Sujin: And what is touch, see. There is clinging to that which is touched, but there is no understanding of touching, that which can be touched. And it's gone. Everything arises and falls away, instantly, all the time. So the teachings of Buddha is all about what appears now, when there is no understanding, it's like a blind person, who cannot understand, that which appears. Is there anyone, on the screen of the television? *laughs*
Woman 2: See, I find, when you explain it, when you break it down like that, I, I understand that, when its working down, in that moment. And then I try and think about it in my own daily life, in that moment, I find, I find it very difficult to, to
A.Sujin: Let go?
Woman 2: Let go and remember these right understanding, in my life, to understand it, these moments.
Man 1: …..
A.Sujin: and that's, that's normal.
Woman 3: When you first hear of Dharma, you see it in different terminologies, its like all a bunch of different ideas thrown at you, its only after a while, when you study them for a while, contemplate them, its then the understanding arises, and everything falls into place. Its nothing to worry about, don't worry about it.
A.Sujin: its when you hear a sound, touch an object, the hardness, that you understand, the moment, the reality, experienced through different senses. But instantly we are lost into our dreams, and the stories and the fantasies, and that's why we have to hear a lot, hear a lot of reminders, to get back to the normal, reality. So one needs to have a lot of discussions, to realize what is real now, because if we don't hear the actual sound, when a visible object is seen, then when we are in a temple or in an acquired place, somehow the realities are actually better, whether here or there, not a visible seeing, just hear, hear. The sound only. The truth about this moment, while swimming or here or there, to get back to the real moment.
Woman 4: You understand when you come back to the routine of meditation, that you try to, embrace the ….. the attachments, to the thing called, um, meditation, practicing. But many, not realize that, just to be attached to, umm, while listening, some people think it's a part of meditation.

Hogansburg woman and her Plyo-Pilates workout featured in Oxygen Magazine's 2012 Fat Loss Special
HOGANSBURG – Plyometrics and Pilates are two opposites on the fitness spectrum. But Laura Tarbell's trademark Plyo-Pilates workout which combines the two extremes scored her a place in Oxygen Magazine's 2012 Fat Loss Special.
A STOTT-certified Pilates instructor and the owner of Tarbell Pilates in Hogansburg, Tarbell created the unique routine when she wanted a time-saving, fat-busting workout after having twin boys in 2009.
"I needed an interval workout that would elevate my heart rate to burn calories and then work my core at the same time," she explains. The result is a body with lean muscle tone and a slim mid-section.
After programming the article, Oxygen's fitness editor offered Laura the job of modeling the workout as well, a unique opportunity given to only a select few.
In the next few months, Oxygen will again be featuring Laura as a model, quoting her as a Pilates expert, and spotlighting her in their BLAB section.
The article is based on one of Laura's latest DVDs, Plyo-Pilates, released in August 2011 with two other titles: Pilates for Runners and Ultimate Abs and Core.
An official release party for the DVDs is planned for Monday, March 5, at Heart to Heart Fitness Center located at 19 Eagle Drive in Hogansburg. Everyone is welcome to attend and enjoy previews of each video, healthy refreshments, discounts on all Tarbell Pilates products and personal consultations.
Heart to Heart Fitness Center will also be holding a Spring Open House that day for visitors interested in touring their newly renovated basketball court, indoor track, new weight equipment, tanning booths, and learning about one the many evening leagues offered, including basketball, volleyball, dodgeball, wally ball, and racquetball.
Laura will be traveling to various gym locations in the next six months offering free demonstration classes.
For information on her schedule at Tarbell Pilates Studio or purchasing information for the three DVDs, visit www.TarbellPilates.com.

Fool me Once, Shame on You Barack Obama; Fool me Twice, Shame on ME!
Fool me Once, Shame on You Barack Obama; Fool me Twice, Shame on ME!
The Associated Press in 2004, described Barack Obama as "Kenyan-born." Anyone know why? It couldn't possibly be true, as he has a Hawaiian Certificate of Birth, or so they say.
This was snagged from the the Sunday Standard of the "East African Standard" newspaper of June 27, 2004, verified by the Archive of the newspaper HERE.
Yes we can! We can change. We have changed! "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." (It's from the Bible, Proverbs 22:6.)
More Proof This is NOT Your Grandmother's America! At the exact same time that President Obama dismissed the Revolutionary War heritage of America, he was praising with uplifted voice the "timeless heritage" of Russia.
It seems that the current American President has officially snubbed the women of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (The DAR) at their yearly convention in Washington, D.C., appropriately named "Continental Congress." Tradionally, American Presidents send greetings to the respected, non-political woman's organization, either in person or via written or video address. This year, 2009, the stunned audience of descendants of Revolutionary War Patriots sat in silence awaiting a message from their President, for whom many of the women had voted.
The lineage society, whose motto is "God, Home and Country," accepts women who can prove direct descent from a patriot of the American Revolution regardless of race, religion or ethnic background. This year, civil rights legend Dr. Dorothy Irene Height was awarded the DAR's highest recognition, the DAR Medal of Honor, for her lifetime of service, leadership and patriotism.
Other events highlighted during Continental Congress were:
During 2008-2009, which included Barack Obama's tenure as America's President, women of the DAR volunteered more than 60,000 hours to veteran patients, awarded over $150,000 in scholarships to American students, and supported schools for the underprivileged with donations exceeding one million dollars.
While President Obama deemed that the women of the DAR were not worthy of their nation's gratitude, he did address, in person, the 2009 graduating class of the New Economic School at Gostinny Dvor in Russia on July 7, 2009, during the exact time that the Daughters of the American Revolution were in Washington remembering America's "heritage" and the sacrifices of their patriotic ancestors of the Revolution. Obama spoke to the Russians of their "heritage," with these exact words from The White House Official Web Site:
I speak to you today with deep respect for Russia's timeless heritage. Russian writers have helped us understand the complexity of the human experience, and recognize eternal truths. Russian painters, composers, and dancers have introduced us to new forms of beauty. Russian scientists have cured disease, sought new frontiers of progress, and helped us go to space.
These are contributions that are not contained by Russia's borders, as vast as those borders are. Indeed, Russia's heritage has touched every corner of the world, and speaks to the humanity that we share. That includes my own country, which has been blessed with Russian immigrants for decades; we've been enriched by Russian culture, and enhanced by Russian cooperation. And as a resident of Washington, D.C., I continue to benefit from the contributions of Russians — specifically, from Alexander Ovechkin. We're very pleased to have him in Washington, D.C.
Obama Misses DAR's Continental Congress
UPDATE: The official statement from Linda Gist Calvin, President General of the NSDAR, graciously states "Rumors have been circulating suggesting that the absence of greetings was an intentional slight on the part of the President. Your President General is sure this is not the case. … Greetings from the White House to the DAR Continental Congress actually did not begin until 1910. There have also been more than a dozen years since that time in which greetings were not forthcoming. Regardless, please be assured that the DAR will continue to foster relationships with those in the White House and share our objectives of historic preservation, education and patriotism."
President Sarkozy of France Does!
Big O was NOT ogling that 16-year-old Brazilian girl at the G8. It was President Sarkozy of France! Our State-run ABC News has the video proof. Remember ABC News? They proved that Obama did NOT bow to the Saudi king & that Brian Williams did NOT bow to Big O.
ABC News Covers Barack Obama's Rear – Once Again
But, it only gets worse for Big O the longer he hangs out in Italy with Sarkozy! Look at this and notice that the leader of Italy is behaving extraordinarily good: head hung low contemplating the ground: G8, foto di gruppo per i grandi del mondo.
The image, Obama & Sarkozy pull a Berlusconi on a girl at #G8, is subject to copyright by van Maanen. It is posted here with permission via the Flickr API by barneykin.
From London come these most interesting photographs of Malia Obama and her family's political fashion statement. Pre-teen Malia was accompanying her father, the American President, in Europe. Why does the American media refuse to publish photographs of the Obama trip to Europe that America's taxpayers are paying for?
What was the message that the Obama family was sending to America and the world by having their daughter wear the American anti-war symbol on the very day that her father was shooting missiles into Afghanistan and Pakistan, killing scores of people? Is the Obama family protesting America's war policy? If so, why not tell the Commander-in-chief to just STOP IT? Or was Malia a walking poster child for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament? No one believes this t-shirt to be just an inadvertent wardrobe malfunction with Malia choosing a peacenik, anti-nuke logo instead of a smiley face or pink flower. Oh no! This European trip was an "official" state visit by the White House entourage, which apparently even included American celebrities. Official state visits are always very well planned in advance, particularly the family's public wardrobe.
Even if one does not find the message of the t-shirt to be interesting of itself, what about the appearance of the President's daughter being abducted by P-Diddy while the Secret Service looks on? Should not that merit a mention by America's media? Here we see P-Diddy (at least that's who I think he is) trying to kidnap Malia Obama while one Secret Service bodyguard looks away, another looks bemused, and a third looks like he's either drunk or totally contemptuous of the entire scene. Meanwhile, the fourth Malia bodyguard is moonwalking his way out of the scene, while an Italian police officer is concentrating on nabbing a pickpocket. Who knows what else we would find in this photograph if we could see the rest of the characters. Perhaps everyone following the Malia parade was wearing a "Death to America" t-shirt. Believe it or not, but later on Malia Obama removed the Peacenik T-shirt to reveal underneath … ta da … another Peacenik T-shirt in a different color. At least it was not a logo of Che Guerrero.
Malia Obama in a T-shirt bearing the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament symbol in Rome ahead of the G8 summit: The Picture.
Don't look for this story at any "MSM" site or news outlet. It can only be found in English in the British Press. The America Press is afraid the Obama administration will punish them if they print the photograph. Don't think for one moment that David Letterman and his ilk will mention this photograph during their comedy routines that pass for News in America of today. They are all too occupied slandering the children of Sarah Palin.
194 Things Obama Intends To Accomplish As President
During the campaign, Barack Obama promised many things to the America voters, and since even before the inauguration he has been working furiously to accomplish them. Of course, we all remember his Marxist promise to Joe the Plumber in 2008, when he said: "I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody." President Obama has already made good headway on accomplishing that particular goal.
On 22 November 2008, a blogger listed the "194 Things Barack Intends To Do As President. He abstracted these promises, as he says, "verbatim from Obama position papers." The blogger said that these intentions of Barack Obama had been consistent throughout his presidential campaign and were not only "sensible," but "achievable." He continued: "All that is required is a smart executive, a stellar team and robust grass roots support for change," which we know well that Barack Obama possesses in spades.
So, how's that "smart executive" Obama doing on fulfilling his 194 goals in four years? Let's see … that's 48 1/2 goals per year, which comes to four per month. Obama has now been in office for five months, which means that he should have about twenty of these goals already accomplished, or else he stands little chance of succeeding in this lofty mission that he promised if American voters elected him.
Which twenty of these lofty, if not worthwhile, goals has Barack Obama already accomplished, pray tell? I've read much of the list, and I cannot find even one success. Can you?

Frequently asked questions
When will the ice be ready?
Late November/early December.
Why can't you give us an exact date?
It's weather dependent. Precipitation, sun and warm temperatures work against us. Ideally, we would have five dry days of grey skies at around -4 C, but we rarely get that. So we offer a date range based on historic temperature trends.
Why can they play a NHL game in Dodgers Stadium, when it was 28 C outside and we have to wait until December to skate behind City Hall?
The NHL game at Dodger Stadium used the largest mobile refrigeration plant in the world and two engineering teams (roughly 18 people) to make a pad of ice for that one game. It took them three weeks to make it, working only at night and covering it with a thermal shield during the day. Making and sustaining an ice pad over several months is decidedly a different task.
The Square does have a refrigeration plant, however if our ice gets too thin it might crack. If it cracks we could be down for a few days while we repair.
How do you make ice in the Square?
The first thing we do is lay down roughly 60 peripheral boards to define the rink's edges. Each board is numbered and needs to go in a certain spot so that it can be correctly anchored in place. Then we need to bring the surface temperature down to about -5 C. At that point we can start to make ice. We need a good 1.5 inches of ice before anyone can skate on the rink and, ideally, we have somewhere between 2.5 and 3 inches of ice.
Why do you have to shut the rink down sometimes after it's open?
Certain conditions can cause us to start losing the thickness of the ice (sun, warm temperatures and precipitation) – and if it gets too thin it risks cracking. Our arena operators monitor the situation and drill to confirm the ice's depth and hardness. If it makes sense to close the rink down for four hours, they will do that rather than risk having to close it for three days.
Do you have to close it often?
Not really. It's based on the weather. In 2015, for example, we were open for 110 skating days out of a possible 113. We are blessed with some great ice-making professionals and that really helps. The rest is up to Mother Nature.
Why does the Springer Market Square rink close at 10 p.m.?
The City's outdoor rink policy states that all City-operated outdoor rinks are to close at 9 p.m. The exception is Springer Market Square, which closes at 10 p.m. (before the Noise Bylaw comes into effect at 11 p.m.) This allows staff to complete the work necessary to get the rink ready for skating the next day, such as Zamboni work or other ice maintenance as required.
How do you close the rink for the season?
When the ice becomes difficult to maintain due to warm daytime temperatures and melting, the City will decide to close it for the season.
We turn off the refrigeration plant, so the pad returns to its ambient temperature. The ice will melt (depending on weather conditions). We then use the ice resurfacer to start shaving down the thickness of the ice. We can only do this to a certain depth, as we don't want to risk the blade damaging the pavers underneath (or the ice resurfacer itself). We locate the drains and unplug them (we plug them to keep the water in to flood at the start of the ice season), this allows the melted water to drain out which speeds things up. The time it takes to close the rink depends on the weather.

Workers' compensation for back injury typically results due to improperly lifting heavy items. In fact, overexertion is the leading culprit of worker's compensation claims, which obviously hurts both the company and the injured employee. Thankfully, a few simple, but safe practices involving heavy lifting in the workplace can help to prevent these types of injuries from occurring all together.
Identifying the Dangers
To prevent a claim for workers' compensation for back injury, it is important to consider the following:
1. The Weight of the Object
The weight of the object should always be the first consideration. Larger loads such as spools of wire, heavy tools and beverage vending machines in Washington, DC can place additional stress on the muscles, vertebrae and discs in the spine. This creates unnecessary strain on your back. Lifting larger loads than you can handle manually should be avoided at all costs.
Solution: One possible solution is to make use of mechanical means such as a forklift. By utilizing available equipment when doing heavy lifting in the workplace, you can prevent injury and discomfort that manual labor may cause. Another viable option is to not try to carry heavy items by yourself.
2. Your Posture
Proper posture is essential to preventing http://www.monumentalvending.com/beverage-vending.php as a result of lifting heavy objects. Bending to lift heavy objects forces the back to take on the brunt of the weight of both the object and the upper body. Even lifting lighter objects can cause injury to the back when bending occurs.
Solution: Consider moving items closer to the body by using the legs to lift at lower levels. Minimize bending by placing objects on tables and shelving units when available. If injury occurs, don't hesitate to contact a workers' compensation lawyer Atlanta GA.
3. The Duration of the Lifting
The risks for back and shoulder injuries increases the longer you are holding and lifting heavy items. When in this position for a longer period, your muscles become fatigued and lack the proper nutrients to support them. As a result, waste products begin to build up, causing strain and pain on your back and shoulder regions.
Solution: Employees can operate in teams by alternating between lifting/ holding and the assembly process. Not only will this increase productivity but it will also to help prevent any injuries from a long duration of holding and lifting heavy items in the workplace, as well as the need for a workers' compensation lawyer New York.
Protecting Your Back
One of the most important things to keep in mind when lifting heavy items in the workplace is back safety. By embracing the following suggestions, you'll significantly reduce the chances of workers' compensation for back injury:
- Warm up any cold muscles prior to lifting by stretching
- Only carry what the body can handle, never take on anything too heavy
- Use mechanical means whenever possible to help with the heavier loads
- Take frequent breaks
- Try pushing a heavier object rather than pulling. Less stress is placed on the body this way.
With the proper planning, and preparation, injuries due to heavy lifting in the workplace can be prevented. Utilizing machinery when necessary, working in teams, and learning how to lift properly without bending can help to create a more injury free workplace and prevent a claim for workers' compensation for a back injury.

Non-Invasive Imaging
Non-Invasive Cardiovascular Imaging Section
The Non-Invasive Cardiovascular Imaging Section is composed of separate imaging service-units (Echocardiography, Cardiovascular CT, Cardiac MRI service, Vascular Imaging Laboratory) providing support for patient care, medical education and research, both clinical and basic.
The Echocardiographic Laboratory
The Johns Hopkins Adult Echocardiography Laboratory is a state-of-the-art center, with a strong tradition of clinical excellence, research, education and innovation. Facilities include an outpatient and inpatient center located on the 4th floor of the Zayed Building of the Johns Hopkins Hospital and is comprised of 10 rooms for cardiac ultrasound examinations, stress testing, transesophageal echocardiograms (TEE) and reading/interpretation. Satellite echocardiographic laboratories located at all Johns Hopkins community sites, including White Marsh, Green Spring Station, Greater Baltimore Medical Center, Odenton, Columbia, two Washington DC locations, and at the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, function in close connection with the central echocardiographic laboratory and are digitally equipped with databases linked to the main hospital. The laboratory is equipped with 20 top of the line echocardiographic systems, one of which is solely dedicated to research. It is staffed with 19 full time and 3 part time registered cardiac sonographers, and 3 full time nurses, dedicated to clinical and investigative echocardiography. The lab is nationally accredited through the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Echocardiography Laboratories (ICAEL).
The echocardiography program brings together cardiovascular expertise from throughout the Johns Hopkins Institutions. The Cardiology echocardiography team includes Drs. Oscar Cingolani, Mary Corretti, Allison Hays, Jose Madrazo, Lena Mathews, Thomas Metkus, Erin Michos, Monica Mukherjee, James Weiss, and Katherine Wu. The administrative director of the echo lab is Susan Phillip, RCS, FASE. Dr. Allison Hays, FASE serves as the Medical Director for the Echocardiography Laboratory at Johns Hopkins Hospital and its satellites. Dr. Monica Mukherjee, FASE, serves as the Medical Director for the Echocardiography Laboratory at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. Members of the Echocardiography section are actively involved in imaging and patient oriented research, have active roles in many national organizations and committees, including the American Society of Echocardiography, the American Heart Association, and the American College of Cardiology, and routinely present at national and international meetings.
The echocardiography lab is actively involved in multiple research projects to improve diagnostic capabilities of non-invasive imaging with current research interests including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, systemic sclerosis and pulmonary hypertension, cardiotoxicity, structural heart disease, and infiltrative heart disease. Our Echo Research Program is lead by Dr. Monica Mukherjee, who is the director of the program. The echocardiography core laboratory provides support for clinical trials in echocardiography and cardiovascular ultrasound. We assist with all imaging aspects of the clinical research process, including protocol development, onsite training and skilled interpretation of transthoracic echocardiograms, stress tests, and transesophageal echocardiograms. Expertly and fully staffed, the echo core lab provides strict quality assurance, fast turnaround times, and high-quality image storage.
The Johns Hopkins Echo lab has a strong commitment to education in advanced cardiac imaging with an advanced echocardiography fellowship lead by the Echo Education Committee comprised of Drs. Jose Madrazo, Lena Mathews, and Erin Michos and a CAA-HEP cardiac sonographer program, which are among the most prestigious in the country. There are weekly echo lectures, sonography courses, echo grand rounds and regular CME courses given throughout the year. Dr. Jose Madrazo also serves as Medical Director of the Johns Hopkins Sonography School.
Tests performed in the Echocardiography Laboratory include 2-D and 3-D transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), stress echocardiogram, intraprocedural transesophageal echo (TEE), and 3D TEE. Staff also provides echocardiographic guidance during complex interventions in the catheterization laboratory (interventional echocardiography). The Echocardiography Laboratory also offers strain imaging (for the improved detection of systolic dysfunction), contrast studies, optimization for left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) and specialized studies for the evaluation of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Cardiac CT Program
The cardiac CT program in the Division of Cardiology at Johns Hopkins is world renowned for its exceptional clinical experience, education, and research. Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions were among the first in the nation to operate multi-detector cardiac CT scanners exclusively devoted to heart scans. Drs. Joao Lima (Director of Outreach Cardiovascular Imaging), Edward Shapiro (Director of Cardiovascular Imaging at the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center), and Armin A. Zadeh (Director of Cardiac CT at the Johns Hopkins Hospital) embraced cardiac CT with its emergence in the early 2000's and bring a wealth of experience with reading contrast enhanced scans. Dr. Michael Blaha (Director of Clinical Research at the Ciccarone Center for Prevention of Heart Disease) is a world authority on the use of coronary calcium scanning for advanced risk stratification.
The cardiac CT program in Cardiology supports clinical service, along with a diverse array of research and educational activities at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. Both campuses operate 320-slice CT scanners which acquire CT scans within less than one second of time, leading to lower average radiation doses to patients. Clinical services include evaluation of coronary heart disease in patients with acute or chronic chest pain, assessment of cardiovascular structure and function in patients with cardiomyopathy or congenital heart disease, as well as guidance of invasive procedures. The cardiac CT program at Johns Hopkins Cardiology pioneered the use of myocardial stress testing using CT and was among the first in the nation to offer this test as clinical service.
Started by Drs. David Bush and Edward Shapiro in 2006, the Cardiac CT Practicum is the longest running and most successful cardiac CT teaching course in the world. The course has educated more than 1,000 national and international trainees since. Complementing the Cardiac CT Practicum, a training course in CT Myocardial Perfusion Imaging was launched in 2014, now directed by Drs. Lima and Zadeh. Dr. Joao Lima and his team at Johns Hopkins led several multi-center international studies on the utility of cardiac CT, which were instrumental in defining the diagnostic accuracy of this technology. Both experimental and clinical studies are ongoing, including research on atherosclerotic plaque imaging, determination of coronary blood flow, and comparative effectiveness of cardiac CT for patient outcome.
The Cardiac MRI Service
The Cardiac MRI Service is jointly managed by Radiology and Cardiology, Department of Medicine. The service supports clinical studies and clinical research including the Multi-Ethnic Study on Atherosclerosis lead by Joao A. C. Lima, MD, Director of Cardiovascular Imaging and functions as the reading center for all MRI studies obtained in that large Multi-center NIH funded effort.
Activities are based in the cardiovascular magnet installed in the 5th floor of the Blalock building, the basement of Blalock and in the Zayed Building. Clinical MR research activities include:
- Investigation of global and regional left ventricular function by MRI tissue tagging
- Measurements of infarct size and microvascular obstruction by contrast enhanced MRI
- Development of myocardial perfusion techniques and vascular MRI applications
- MR Imaging for assessment of a variety of disease states including: ARVD, HOCM, HIV-related Cardiovascular Disease and infiltrative heart disease
- MR measure of coronary endothelial function
- MR spectroscopy to quantify myocardial fat content and evaluate myocardial energetics

And it's not only just an Old Testament theme, as lots presume.Around partially the parables that Jesus support embroiled fortune or wealth, and the Apostle Paul isn't shy on the idea either.
In this nonfiction I impoverishment to shortly escort you finished 4 areas of business success. They will confer you a holistic position that will relief you communicate scriptural truths to the empire that you front.

As a Christian you are told to "be changed by the restorative of your mind" (Romans 12:2). That implementation exploit as comprehensible as you can around what God says, thinks or feels active a situation, taxable or circumstance and applying the Bible's perpetual truths into your existence.
The psyche is the indication of all actions, so if you poverty to bearing in the ways of God's material bonus it's essential that you have the spot on consideration processes in stick.
Here are many key principles that will lend a hand get your grayish event execution correctly:
- You were created to boom and singing copiously - that's in all areas: spiritually, intellectually, physically, relationally AND financially. (John 10:10; 3 John 1:2)
- You are fortunate to be a benefit - prosperity should not honorable get 'to' you, but should too go 'through' you. (Genesis 12:1-3: 2 Corinthians 9:11)
- God is a God of the overflow - he's not wasteful, but he has more than adequate. (Mark 8:19-20; 2 Kings 4:5-6)
- Poverty is not a sanction - God wants to front you out of poverty, finished provision, into financial condition. (Proverbs 10:15; 10:22)
2. MOTIVATION - What's in Your Heart?
Simply caring that God wants you to thrive is not ample. You have to assure that you have a uncorrupted hunch and that your motives are spot on if you are to bring off and write lavishness in a God-honouring way.
When Jesus walked the earth, the widespread mental object was that material resource and magnificence were a warning of God's stroke of luck. And on that basis, those near much, suchlike the Pharisees, were the ones who were going to shangri-la. However, Jesus' phone call was contrary to this wide command assumption. He aforesaid that 'He' was 'The Way'. It was belief in him, not backing in stockpiles that counted.
You inevitability to have a red-blooded cognition towards plunder and see the unbroken constituency of subsidize near an enduring immersion. Here are both truths to save you on the unswerving and narrow where wealth is involved:
- Wealth isn't everything - fortune can aid in ministry, but our main absorption shouldn't be on the material, but the sacred. (Colossians 3:2; Matthew 16:26)
- Money can be personified - we are called to serve God, not silver. (Matthew 6:23-25; Luke 16:11)
- Wealth will buy consumables, but not contentment - smugness is found in Jesus unsocial. (Philippians 4:11; Hebrews 13:5)
- What you assume in and appeal can be found on your financial organisation affidavit - Look to God's face, not his safekeeping. (Matthew 6:19-21; 1 Timothy 6:17)
3. MANAGEMENT - What's in Your Pockets
When you find yourself near any amount of financial condition that God has fortunate you with, what are you going to do near it? Are you going to levy it? What in the order of more offerings? Is it biblical to save? How more than would God poorness you to put in on yourself? What should you commit - and in what way?
These are all virtuous questions, but lamentably the basilica is really hush when it comes to the everyday place decisions we have to clear as Christians in the territory of our assets.
Here are a few religious text facts to help you follow the practicalities of how God expects you to business deal near your money:
- You don't own anything - everything belongs to God, you're a fiduciary. (Psalm 50:10-12; 24:1)
- Tithing is the foot strip in giving - offerings are besides expected. (Malachi 3:8; Mark 12:43-44)
- The law of sowing and reaping plant for everyone - when you administer with a unalloyed heart, it will come through rear to you in an raised consider. (2 Corinthians 9:6; Luke 6:38)
- God wants you to be a loaner not a recipient - you're named to be the lead not the process. (Proverbs 22:7; Deuteronomy 28:12)
4. MARKETPLACE - What's in Your Hands?
In Exodus subdivision four, God aforementioned to Moses "what's in your hand?" To Moses it was purely a shepherd's staff, but to God it was a manner of sighted the marvelous transport put. Moses had a rod in his hand, what do you have in yours? A data processor mouse, a calculator, a husbandry tool, a pen or a teentsy young person maybe? Whatever talents God has specified you, you can use them to finish terrible holding for God.
Furthermore, in that are many a Christian entrepreneurs in the house of worship today near the endowment of production plunder. But how do you as a leader, manipulate specified people?
Look at the successive realities. Examine them abidance in cognition the members of your cathedral who are in business:
- All Christians are in 'full example ministry' - business organisation relatives need to get that they are as much in priesthood as you are. (1 Peter 2:9; 1 Corinthians 12:12-26)
- Calling is far much than just man in christian church leadership - maximum grouping will be named to the marketplace rather than the 'Ministry'. (Revelation 1:6; Ecclesiastes 9:9)
- Entrepreneurs are all over - they're in your christian church and demand to be nurtured for God's laurels. (Luke 19:13; Matthew 25:13-40)
- Wealth Creation is certified by God - successful Christian enterprise body should be impelled to surpass in their contribution purely the very as any some other individual is theirs. (Deuteronomy 8:18; 1 Timothy 6:17-19)
Putting it All into Perspective
Wealth should be viewed in a complimentary lantern. We see it beforehand the slop of man in the Garden of Eden which had an teemingness of administration. And we see it in the new heaven, where we will before a live audience in mansions and locomotion on streets of unharmed metallic.
It's incident for the religious to bring to an end attentive to the lies of the rival unfolding us that we are more virtuous when we have undersize. Rather, we necessitate to activate believing our Bibles that inform us "The blessings of the Lord bring forward wealth, and he adds no commotion to it" (Proverbs 10:22).
And who enhanced to have the terminal say in the region of the exigency of prudence in our finances, than in all probability the wisest man of all clip - King Solomon. His reflections from the Message Bible (Ecclesiastes 7:11-12) give "Wisdom is improved when matched with money, especially if you get both whilst you're stationary living".

Announcing Enterprise Library 5.0 and Unity 2.0 Roadmap
When will Enterprise Library 5 and Unity 2.0 ship? In short, on April 14, 2010.
In the meantime, we plan to release two public betas. Here's our tentative timeline:
Please note:
1) We do not plan a 5.1 service release. 5.0 will target both Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2008. Customers have given us the feedback that this is what they prefer.
2) We will ship BETA 1 on Feb 8, 2010 which will include an msi. BETA 1 will not have all Dev10 integration features included. The new config tool will only be available to run standalone. Also, some documentation will be incomplete.
3) After the Visual Studio 2010 public Release Candidate is published, we'll gather further input from our customers, and perform extensive integration and system testing against the RC. This will result in BETA 2 (on Mar 15, 2010) which will be feature and code complete.
4) Final Release to Web (RTW) will include a system test pass against the final Visual Studio 2010 RTM bits.
Hopefully, this information will help you plan your migration effort to the new version of Enterprise Library and Unity.
In the meantime, our most recent code drop is available at: http://entlib.codeplex.com.
We look forward to your feedback, your stories of migrating to Enterprise Library 5 from previous versions or using it for the first time. Since the main theme for the release is simplicity and usability, we particularly seek comments from new users. How easy was it to get going with EntLib? What can be done to make your learning experience better?
The team has put a lot of effort into this release and we look forward to enriching your development experience with the improved reusable components, new fresh set of guides, and updated QuickStarts and code samples.

Phase 1 - Loading
Loading is an important part of the TNH Program.
The TNH drops are a homeopathic preparation and it will take about 2 days for the drops to trigger the release of stored energy from your fat cells.
On day 1 you start taking the drops and for the next 2 days you eat more than you would normally eat (preferable foods high in fats and sugars).
These 2 days will prepare your body for the next phase of the program and it is important not to skip it.
Our User Guide explains Phase 1 in detail. The User Guide is included with all our kits or it can be purchased separately.

I Miss You
Tuesday, July 28, 2015
I miss the way you would tell me things no one else knew.
I miss the sparkle in your eyes as you told things you were passionate about.
I miss the way you laughed at your own jokes until you cried.
I miss how you removed your glasses to wipe the falling tears from laughter.
I miss the way you looked at me.
I miss how proud of me you were.
I miss sitting doing nothing, just knowing you were near.
I miss how much I meant to you.
I miss your wisdom.
I miss your sense of humor.
I miss sitting on the back porch talking about any, and every, thing.
I miss your blue eyes looking at mine.
I miss how you warned me.
I miss how you listened to me, even when I rambled.
I miss how you heard me, you really heard me.
I miss how you told me what you saw, even though I didn't at the time.
I miss how you gave me hope when there was no hope.
I miss you telling me you loved me.
I miss you Daddy, and I always will.

It Takes Balls
Dating Single Moms and Other Confessions from an Unprepared Single Dad
Josh Wolf–one of the stars and writers of Chelsea Lately and After Lately–delivers a hilarious collection of essays that reminds us all what it takes to conquer fatherhood without sacrificing manhood. Struggling to make it as a stand-up comic didn't always fit with being a single parent. But Josh figured out his own set of rules–through trial and (frequent) error. Early picking up kids from school? The nearby strip club is a great place to kill time and bond with some like-minded dads. Want a drunken heart-to-heart with your son? First make sure there's no Sharpie around in case you pass out. Wondering where to take that special someone at the end of the night? Remember that no sane woman will have sex with you in a one-bedroom apartment where your kids are sleeping–even if you promise to be really, really quiet. Whether it's revealing the secrets to limitless hookups (hint: it's single moms) and getting rid of your children's friends that you just can't stand (hint: it's not single moms), or blackmailing PTA members and ignoring health codes, Josh is sure to impart some parenting wisdom along the way. Or at least have a good time trying.Read More
