Voters: Battered economy, candidates' solutions are top concern
Friday, 05 October 2012 00:00
The nation's economy, which has been put through the wringer, is on center stage for the November elections as voters look to what the two major presidential candidates are saying about the situation and what their response is for getting it back on track.
'Catholic vote' no longer a bloc, but does reflect general trends
Friday, 05 October 2012 00:00
Columnist E.J. Dionne is fond of saying, "There's no such thing as 'the Catholic vote' and it's going to decide the election."
Campaign: Little being said on U.S.-led war in Afghanistan
Wednesday, 03 October 2012 14:58
As America's longest war in history marks its 11th anniversary Oct. 7, it remains a largely un-discussed issue in the presidential campaign.
Budget debate: Candidates offer wide contrast in priorities
Friday, 28 September 2012 00:00
Determining what to spend taxpayer money on is being scrutinized this presidential election cycle perhaps more closely than in elections past even as the overriding concerns are jobs and building a robust economy.
Church urged to work with women's groups for religious freedom
Friday, 21 September 2012 00:00
Because religious intolerance disproportionately affects women worldwide, the church should enter into "unlikely alliances" with women's groups to make the case that such intolerance should be curbed, said a speaker at a Sept. 12 forum.

The Secret of Continuing Success for Traders and Investors
Bill Gates knows it. So does Warren Buffet, Conrad Hilton, Andrew Carnegie and many others like them. The secret is charity – simple, from-the-heart, altruistic giving to the needy and the less fortunate. Google's variant of 'for-profit charity' is something I do not know enough to comment on.
All religious faiths encourage it – 'Blessed are the givers'. Here, I will focus on this charitable act of giving according to the lessons I learned from my teacher of about 2600 years ago.
Performing charity is an act of merit which begets more blessings. When you perform this meritorious act, share it with the rest of world. All you need to do is to think "I want to
share this merit with the whole world", when giving your bit to a charitable
cause. Best of all, this sharing does not lessen the value of the merit.
Merit sharing is like sharing of digital content, be it an article, software, screensaver. E-book, mp3 or video clip. The content does not diminish with every extra download. In fact, the more downloads the more popular it becomes. This is the same with merit sharing.
Traders and investors are a blessed lot – they make enough to cover the basic needs of food, shelter, medicine and savings. The excess are used for investment and trading.
When there are windfall profits, consider giving a portion of it to your favorite charity regularly. The benefits of seeing the recipient's reaction should be reward enough. Bear in mind the spirit has to be altruistic.
Every trader or investor I know who practices it realized the validity and benefits. Somehow one does not make disastrous decisions or have long-positions in a stock market crash.
Do I know this for a fact, an irrefutable law? No, I don't. The approach I use is experimentalist – try it out and draw your own conclusions. All I can deduce is a compassionate person is also a person with humility. You and I know humility is a necessary trait for traders and investors in financial markets.

The New York Times has put (made with Flash, naturally) to good use on the bridge collapse story. I really admire this template. It's clear to me that it eases workflow a lot — with the template perfected, the news graphics artists can focus on the images to be used, the facts needed to accompany them, and the storytelling — without spending time on meta layout or scripting.
Previous uses of the NYT graphic template:
- (April 2007)
This is where they perfected the template. A truly great infographic. - (January 2007)
The subject matter here fails to interest me, but the movement within a large 2D graphic is nice. (NYT registration required for this one.) - (October 2006)
This grabbed my attention last fall because it is such a fantastically effective way to tell the story.
The numbered-button navigation (upper left corner) is deceptively simple. It instantly tells you that this package has substance. It assures you that you will not get lost. No instructions for how to operate the package are necessary. The functionality of the buttons relative to the animation is impressive — very adroit.
And — hallelujah! — with just a bit of scrolling, the graphic almost fits into a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 (the width is perfect, but it's slightly too tall).
Although the new Minneapolis bridge graphic is not nearly as complex and rich as the Virginia Tech shootings graphic (which really is a masterpiece), the bridge graphic demonstrates how good planning can enable a multimedia team to produce animated graphics on deadline.

They're a couple of mean bastards. Hell, rumor has it that they're half way to trog as it is.
"— Faydra, describing Grudd and his brother.Grudd Bear is an arena fighter in The Pitt in 2277.
Masters of "claw and paw" combat, John and Grudd Bear are man-mountains with a vicious winning streak in the arena. Thanks to an addiction to RadAway, they are almost impervious to the arena's traps, and the siblings have developed an impressive plan of attack: Grudd holds back, scorching the escaping foe with flamer fire while his brother rips the victim apart with a deathclaw gauntlet.[1]
Grudd is the brother of John Bear.

On Sunday, I celebrated 25 years as a Reader in the Anglican Church. In January 1988, on a cold night in Birmingham, +Mark admitted me as a Reader and licensed me to the Parish of St Giles, Sheldon, in the Diocese of Birmingham and the Province of Canterbury. Since then, I have served as Reader at St James, Mahora in the Diocese of Waiapu and in the province of Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia and most recently at St Andrew, Bebington, in the Diocese of Chester and the Province of York.
It has been a privilege to do this, and I hope to continue for most if not all of the next 25 years. If anyone reading this does not understand what it means, broadly a Reader can do most of the things a vicar can do, except for communion, weddings and pronouncing the Absolution, a particular prayer. But to continue for anything for 25 years is apparently an achievement these days. I am pleased to have done so, and also pleased to have had the support of my wife Viv for all that time too.

How To
How to embed PBCore in data distribution APIs
As a well-defined metadata format, PBCore records can be embedded within and transported over almost any API.
How to relate complex parts and instantiations
PBCore may be used to express multiple instantiations per work (e.g., multiple tapes containing one program). It may be done in different ways, depending on what – if any – descriptive metadata should accompany each tape. If metadata to describe the content of each tape (i.e., the program segment material) is not needed, then the [...]
How to express collections in PBCore
The introduction in PBCore 2.0 of the root element 'pbcoreCollection' directly addresses the need to "wrap" or collect assets for use in an XML-based publishing system like Really Simple Syndication (RSS). Use 'pbcoreCollection' to wrap any number of 'pbcoreDescriptionDocument' asset records for sharing or to express the structure of a collection of records.
How to create abstract assets (no instantiation)
PBCore 2.0 can be used to express "abstract," or metadata-only assets. These assets simply do not have any instantiations, and might serve to represent a high level idea such as a television for which there is no single physical or digital instantiation. The descriptive metadata within such an assets may be referenced from within other [...]
How to sequence records within relationships
When PBCore is used to list related items, it can also express the nature of their interrelationships. For example, when expressing an asset within pbcoreDescriptionDocument, use the sub-element structure of pbcorePart to define segments, stories or episodes. Then utilize the element structure within 'pbcoreRelation' to articulate any associations between assets. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <pbcoreDescriptionDocument xmlns="http://www.pbcore.org/PBCore/PBCoreNamespace.html" [...]
How to embed a transcript within a description
PBCore does not limit the amount of data contained in its description-oriented fields, so it's possible to includet whole transcripts. Transcripts and other lengthy descriptions are likely to contain characters that are problematic to include in XML, however. There are two solutions: 1) wrap or surround it within a CDATA structure: <pbcoreDescription> <![CDATA[This is how [...]
How to express time segments within a video
Use time-oriented attributes (startTime, endTime) within elements such as contributor, coverage, creator, instantiationPart, instantiationRights, pbcoreDescription, pbcoreGenre, pbcoreInstantiation, pbcoreInstantiationDocument, pbcorePart, pbcoreRightsSummary, pbcoreSubject, pbcoreTitle and publisher. For example: <pbcoreDescriptionDocument> <!– section removed for clarity –> <pbcoreDescription descriptionType="Summary" segmentType="Scene" startTime="01:02:03;04" endTime="05:06:07;08">Series of cut-transition between static views of natural beauty.</pbcoreDescription> <!– section removed for clarity –> </pbcoreDescriptionDocument>
How to express relationships between assets
PBCore may be used in more than one way to express relations between assets such as programs within a series, chapters within an episode, stories within a program and limitless other combinations. The simplest approach is to put higher, container-level data next to lower, derivative-level data within the main asset (at the level of element [...]

"The ultimate measure of commercial success for a recording act is having a gold or platinum record. The recording industry Association of America awards a gold record to any single or album that sells 500,000 copies" – I bought this copy of The Billboard Book of Gold and Platinum Records at Sedgefield car-boot sale.
Typically a gold album, single or cd is electroplated. A single ounce of gold can be beaten into a sheet measuring roughly 5 meters on a side. A sheet of gold leaf can be as thin as 0.000127 millimeters, or about 400 times thinner than a human hair.
How much gold is in a gold disc? Is a techno record, with more pits going to worth substantially more than easy-listening muzak? I have written to several manufacturers of gold discs and await a reply.
To date South Africa has produced one third of all the world's known gold mined since the Middle Ages, from depths of over four kilometres below the surface of the earth. So there's a good chance that the gold covering the Bee Gees 'How Deep is your Love?" gold disc is from there.
An Australian digger, George Harrison, who, in 1886 crushed and panned some rock from the land of Witwatersrand, discovered the world's richest goldfield. He had discovered the main reef at the future site of Johannesburg, which became the world's richest goldfield and the largest mining city with a population of 2,000,000 people.
Gold production is increasingly shifting to low-income or lower-middle-income countries which together accounted for two thirds of global output in 2004.
Gold is the leading export for developing countries such as Mali (59% of goods exports in 2003), Tanzania (44%), Ghana (32%), Guyana (26%) and the second most important for Guinea (23%)." - (figures from Trustingold.com)
One company that specializes in the mining of gold - Barrick - operate on five continents. They have 27 producing mines and 8 exploration mines. These are situated in the United States, Canada, Tanzania, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Australia and Papau New Guinea.
Opencast mining practices, the most profitable form of gold mining which Barrick practice on 5 continents produces on average 70 tons of waste (including a substantial amount of arsenic waste) for every ounce of gold as highlighted by CorpWatch in an article available here entitled Barrick's Dirty Secrets
Barrick has a large amount of literature on corporate responsibility located on their website, and a rebuttal to some of the claims in the CorpWatch article in a pdf available here called The Facts and Corpwatch
A rcent accident at a mine owned by Harmony Gold Mining also highlights the poor working conditions of miners in South Africa, three thousand of whom were trapped over a kilometre underground, some for more than two days. - BBC news article here
So, after going to all that trouble and waste to extract the gold, where does the gold end up? Some of it – quite a large amount of it in fact ends up under 33 Liberty Street, Manhattan, USA, which is the address of the Federal Reserve Bank, and whose reserves lie five floors beneath the streets. The bank began 'receiving' its gold during the World Wars, acting as a giant safety deposit box and serving as guardian of the precious metal, which it protects at no charge as a gesture of good will to other nations. Which is nice, isn't it?
Only 2% of the 9,000 tons (700,000 bars) of the stored gold belongs to the United States. Of the 63 account holders, 49 are countries; the rest belong to international organizations. It is worth approximately US$116 billion and is reputedly the largest gold repository in the world, though this can't be confirmed as the Swiss are a little more reserved about their reserves and don't report their gold stocks, much less allow you to go on a tour of them.
Another country whose trading structure in gold is balanced on the opaque side is the UK. Members of the London bullion market typically trade with each other and with their clients on a 'principal-to-principal basis'. All risks, including those of credit, are between the two parties to a transaction.
Unlike a futures exchange, where trading is based around standard contract units, settlement dates and delivery specifications, this market allows what the LBM refer to as 'flexibility', which, when browsing their literature I took to mean 'confidentiality', as transactions are conducted solely between the two principles involved.
The World Gold Council is the marketing organisation for the global gold market, and as such, its primary objective is to drive the demand for gold in all its forms. Jewellery 'demand' accounts for around 70% of total consumption. The WGC highlights marketing strategies for women's jewellery. "Gold jewellery is perceived to be an integral part of a woman's appearance. Our research showed that gold jewellery is considered by the majority of the consumer segments to be a necessary item rather than just an accessory – women derive strong emotional benefits from wearing gold jewellery, it is believed to complete a woman's appearance. - A Passion for Gold:Realising Potential in the Gold Market Consumer Research Summary
"India is the world's largest gold jewellery market by volume accounting for around 590 tonnes of consumption demand in 2005. Gold jewellery buying is associated with a number of festivals and, in particular, with weddings. The gold given at weddings is important for women as it traditionally remains her property. For festivals, Diwali is a traditional gold giving occasion. Akshaya Tritya has become important in the south, encouraged by WGC promotions. The majority of gold used in India is imported but most jewellery is fabricated within the country. Indeed India has a thriving jewellery industry and has become a major exporter.
In terms of consumption demand, the USA is the world's second largest gold jewellery market by volume (around 350 tonnes) and the largest by retail value (around $16billion). Retail value refers to the value of jewellery sold rather than the gold content." – from Trustingold.com
Gold was one of the first metals to come into common use (estimated at somewhere between 6000 and 9000 years ago as it was recoverable in metallic form without the need for sophisticated refining processes undiscovered at that point.
Since alluvial gold (the kind that's just lying around) has pretty much all been picked up, people have increasingly gone to great lengths to find ways of extracting the gold that is in harder to get at forms.
There is of course the alchemist's approach – the attempt to use lead (atomic number 82) and transmute it to gold (atomic number 79).
This involves changing the atomic number – the number of protons – but this can't be altered by any chemical means. Using physics, however, you can add or remove protons and transmute one element into another. The problem lies in the fact that lead is stable, so forcing it to release three protons requires a vast input of energy, which greatly surpasses the value of the resulting gold. If (or when depending on what your favourite reading material is) we get to the stage that we can successfully convert matter into energy in a controlled and efficient manner, this would be a highly likely daily occurrence available in hobby kits (available at a car-boot sale near you) throughout the world. – One gram of matter properly converted would keep an old-fashioned 100 watt lightbulb burning for 28,000 years.
As this hasn't happened yet, (at least in a commercially bottle-able form) it may explain the fact that in the Middle Ages, an ounce of gold would get you about 307 loaves of bread, and that, in 2007, an ounce of gold will still get you around the same 307 loaves of bread.
So it's possible to transmute lead into gold, but there are also reports that it has been done in a tiny quantity by Glenn Seaborg in 1980. A later report of accidental alchemy dating from 1972 has also been doing the rounds. Here, the story goes that Soviet physicists at a research facility in Siberia accidentally discovered a reaction that transmuted the lead shielding of their experimental reactor to gold.
Looking skywards, the nucleosynthesis that occurs in the stellar explosions of supernovae regularly transmute elements, Here, however, gold is turned into lead, and never the other way round, which may partly account for the difference in value.
Back down to the Earth, still others have attempted to extract gold from seawater. Even at a conservative estimate of 10 ppt of gold in seawater, there is about 25 billion ounces of gold in solution in the oceans. Throughout the course of human history, a total of about 3.3 billion ounces of gold have been unearthed, which is an amount equivalent to a cube that measures 55 feet on one side, or thereabouts. This gold again, however, has so far not been commercially viable to extract.
A much more cost-effective way of extracting gold would be to employ sharp-eyed people at the end of sewer pipes to pick up wedding rings and the like that have accidentally made their way down the plug hole before they get to the sea.
If, after reading this, you're considering to join countless others in the pursuit of all that glitters, there are more cost-effective ways of sizing up whether there is gold in them there hills.
Termites have also been used as a reliable record of where gold can be found:
"Maps of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), about 60 kilometres north of Que Que (now Kwe Kwe) show a gold mine named Termite founded by the Black brothers in the 1920s. They established the presence of gold by collecting a mass of termites from a mound, rendering them down and sampling the residue. They used the same methods to establish the nearby Leopard, Leopardess and Lion mines." (From issue 2615 of New Scientist magazine, 04 August 2007, page 21)
Gold appears non-toxic in plants and trees and is pushed into the extremities, into the leaves. Assayers sometimes use leaves as a non-intrusive form of mapping for gold.
In 1998 there were widespread reports of scientists using this property to mop up gold using a process used in other mining industries as part of their clean-up operations called phytoextraction. This was being done on the spoil heaps of old mines in New Zealand, by adding a chemical reagent, ammonium thiocyanate, to the soil and growing Indian mustard plants. This allows gold to concentrate in the plant a thousand times more effectively than it would otherwise do. To remove the gold, the scientists simply harvest and burn the plants (and can generate electricity to be sold whilst they do this), and then smelt gold from the ashes.
Andrew Dunn of the BBC Science Unit reported back in October 7th 1998 that "The scientists, led by phytoextraction expert Professor Robert Brooks from Massey University in Palmerston North, say they are trying to reduce the amount of thiocyanate they use to make the process cheaper and to allow the plants to grow for longer and accumulate more gold.
If they succeed the process could become cost-effective."
Now, I sense a problem here, in that, if the process becomes cost effective, the price of gold should theoretically go down, thus reducing the cost-effectiveness of doing it in the first place. All seems to have gone a little quiet though, so perhaps Professor Brooks is taking a leaf out of the diamond trades book and keeping the quantity available a secret.
If anyone wishes to try this in the UK, Carmarthenshire had a gold mine in operation from Roman times until the 20th Century, and if Indian mustard plants are unavailable, you could try one of its relatives such as the cabbage, caulifower, brussel sprout or broccoli.
Gold has long been revered for its mystical qualities, the warding off of spirits and the healing of the sick. John Dee was charged with finding the elixir of life for Queen Elizabeth One to enable her to live forever (which in re-incarnated form as Elizabeth Two has been achieved according to Prince Charles – perhaps he should be using one of gold mining's nasty by-products to achieve the succession quicker – see under arsenic.)
So, throughout the ages gold was used medicinally, and new medicinal uses are being found today. A radioactive isotope of gold, gold-198, is used for treating cancer. Gold helps focus lasers more accurately, allowing for greater accuracy in medical procedures for heart conditions and tumors. Gold in the form of AuNa3O6S4 is used as a treatment for arthritis. Biochemists also use gold to bond with complex and compound materials, such as proteins, to create drugs.
'Cold Welding' is a useful property of gold in its pure form. Two pieces of pure gold will "weld" together the instant they are brought into contact with each other. The contact surfaces of the gold diffuse into each other, creating a solid metallic bond.
This property is in everyday use in the manufacture of many microelectronic "chips" where thin pure gold wires will instantly cold-weld themselves to the gold plated pads of the circuit etchings.
This enables different elements of the circuitry to be interconnected without the use of heat and without risk of power loss due to the inherent electrical resistance of more conventional connections.
This, together with the fact that it's a good conductor of heat and electricity and doesn't tarnish when it is exposed to the air, means that it's used in many modern goods that need reliable contacts such as airbag circuits in cars, as gold bonded compressor vanes in aeroplanes to cool their turbines from exhaust that can reach 1150 degrees Farenheit.
Even the people that mine gold (and other ores) underground rely on gold activated sensors to warn of low levels of oxygen.
As it's also a good reflector of infrared radiation it's also used to help shield everything from skyscrapers to spacecraft from the sun's heat. In spacewalks, an astronaut relies on gold coating to protect the vital lifeline tethering him to the ship, while the astronaut's eyes are shielded from the sun's rays by a gold-coated visor.
It's used in weather monitoring in geo-stationary weather satellites, where sheets of gold-coated Mylar deflect heat that would otherwise degrade their performance.
In the Hubble telescope, all parts of its electronic camera are coated with gold to insulate against heat damaging its celestial snapshots.
It's even used to preserve the life of is used to preserve the life of photographs by replacing the silver atoms present in an image in the form of Chlorauric acid (HAuCl4)
I could go on, but won't.

Thomas S. Nesbitt, M.D., M.P.H.
Interim Vice Chancellor for Human Health Sciences and Dean of the School of Medicine
Thomas S. Nesbitt, M.D., M.P.H., is the Interim Vice Chancellor for Human Health Sciences and Dean of the School of Medicine at UC Davis. He oversees UC Davis Health System's academic, research and clinical programs, including the School of Medicine, the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing, the 1,000-member physician practice group, and UC Davis Medical Center, a 619-bed acute-care hospital. With nearly 10,000 employees, more than 850 students, an operating budget of more than $1.7 billion, $200 million in outside research funding and 900,000 outpatient visits each year, UC Davis Health System is a major contributor to the health care and economy of the Sacramento region.
Throughout his career, Nesbitt has focused his scholarship and leadership on improving access to health care and developing the health-care workforce for California, the nation and the world.
Prior to becoming the interim vice chancellor, Nesbitt served as Associate Vice Chancellor for Strategic Technologies and Alliances, advancing the UC Davis Health System's excellence in telemedicine. Nesbitt is internationally known and highly regarded as a pioneer in using telecommunications technology to deliver a broad spectrum of health-care services and health professional education in rural areas. He established UC Davis' first telehealth link in 1992, and, today, UC Davis' Center for Health and Technology is recognized as a global leader in using telehealth and distance learning to meet the needs of populations in remote and underserved regions.
At the request of the California governor and the UC Office of the President, Nesbitt led a team that successfully applied for more than $26 million in funding from the Federal Communications Commission to establish the California Telehealth Network, which is linking more than 800 sites in a digital health highway. The undertaking is destined to become one of the most expansive broadband networks in the nation dedicated to health care. Under Nesbitt's leadership, UC Davis has secured nearly $100 million in funding from diverse sources to advance telehealth infrastructure, services, education and research.
Nesbitt has led development of UC Davis' PRIME programs, which prepare physicians to serve in rural and underserved urban areas. A popular teacher and mentor, Nesbitt is active in bringing excellent education to students at the undergraduate and graduate professional levels. He played a significant role in establishing UC Davis' Center for Virtual Care, a training resource for students and working professionals throughout the region, and leads UC Davis' nationally recognized Continuing Medical Education programs.
Together with leaders of the National Cancer Institute-designated Cancer Center, Nesbitt launched the UC Davis' Cancer Care Network, bringing advanced cancer care and the latest clinical research to Northern California's rural communities, as well as a robust telehealth program that brings UC Davis clinical expertise to patients in dozens of hospitals, clinics and even farm-labor camps throughout the state.
His research and creative work has resulted in major success in extramural funding and impactful contributions to science. He has authored or co-authored more than 60 journal articles, abstracts and book chapters on the use of telecommunications technology in health care and education. Nesbitt served as the first Chief Scientist for Health for the Center for Information Research in the Interest of Society on the UC Davis campus, a collaboration with other UC campuses in Berkeley, Santa Cruz and Merced.
Nesbitt has received numerous awards for his innovation and leadership. He received the 2012 Justin Ford Kimball Innovators Award, one of the highest honor given by the American Hospital Association for outstanding contributions to health care, and the 2010 Leadership Award from the American Telemedicine Association for his pioneering work to advance telemedicine. He has many awards from the Cal Aggie Alumni Association, including the Distinguished Public Service Award, the Distinguished Alumnus Award and, most recently, the Distinguished Achievement award, presented in 2012.
Nesbitt received his bachelor's and medical degrees from UC Davis, completed his residency training through the Spokane Family Medicine Residency Program – an affiliate of the University of Washington School of Medicine – and obtained his master's degree in public health at the University of Washington. He worked as a primary care physician in the rural Northwest before joining the UC Davis faculty in 1988.

Russian Expert Predicts Martial Law in America by End of 2012; Texas Judge Predicts Civil War if Obama Re-elected
Will President Obama declare martial law by the end of 2012? Igor Panarin, Dean the Russian Foreign Ministry School for future diplomats, believes there's a 55-45% chance right now that disintegration will occur. He asserts that mass immigration, economic decline and moral degradation will plunge America into a civil war that will center on the collapse of the US dollar. Panarin created a map of how he perceived the US would divide. He asserted that parts of the US would be taken over by foreign interests.
Martial Law Will Be Declared In The United States!
Lubbock County Judge Tom Head said that he is convinced that Obama's re-election would spawn civil unrest which would justify the US government's use of martial law to quell the public. Head expressed concern that Obama would deploy UN NATO troops onto US soil should civil unrest be declared. Head said: "He's going to try to hand over the sovereignty of the U.S. to the United Nations, what's going to happen when that happens? I'm thinking worst case scenario. Civil unrest, civil disobedience, civil war maybe…we're not just talking a few riots or demonstrations."
U.S. is One Major Crises Away From Martial Law
New US Ally? Russian Troops to Train on American soil
In March of 2012, Obama signed the National Defense Resources Preparedness (NDRP) executive order that declared peacetime marital law. Obama granted himself authority over all domestic energy, production, transportation, food and water in the name of National Security.
• The Secretary of Defense has power over all water resources
• The Secretary of Commerce has power over all material services and facilities, including construction materials
• The Secretary of Transportation has power over all forms of civilian transportation
• The Secretary of Agriculture has power over food resources and facilities, livestock plant health resources, and the domestic distribution of farm equipment
• The Secretary of Health and Human Services has power over all health resources
• The Secretary of Energy has power over all forms of energy
Obama Authorizes Peacetime Martial Law; Homeland Security To Enlist Clergy to Quell Public Unrest
Obama Signs New Executive Order To Control All Private Communications During A Crisis
It was no mistake that the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) declared the domestic US a "battlefield". The ability to detain any American citizen without charge or trial, solely on suspicion is key to the power of the NDAA.
Between the NDAA and NDRP, a Nazi-model of control over the general population in America is laid out. For the past 30 years, plans for the takeover of America have been laid in a long line of executive orders.
Under Nazi-controlled Germany, the beginning of Totalitarian control was evidenced in May of 1942 when freezing of food prices led to national rationing in 1943. With the Nazis controlling resource dispersion, all citizens needed ration cards to obtain food, gas, and even a vacation pass that allotted the restriction of movement. (Source)
Soon communication link will be cut when the beast is forced to declare martial law, possibly before the election. If you would read our previous posts, you would be able to put the pieces together and begin to understand that all things are interconnected. As we said recently, a major earthquake would get the Presidential election put on hold from the aftermath and the country declaring itself in a national emergency.

Newstead Belmont Hills Review
This hotel, linked to a private golf course, is the place to be seen with some of the sleekest rooms in Bermuda and a gorgeous infinity pool right on the edge of the harbour. It opened in spring 2008, and its rooms have the most contemporary design aesthetic on the island. Room 221, for instance, is a one-bedroom suite on the harbor's edge with great light and great views, stylish furniture, two big flat-screen TVs, and a full kitchen. That said, this place is an odd destination—you walk in through an all-glass lobby that is decidedly trendy and minimalist but also overwrought. But where's the beach? It's a 10-minute cab away. Newstead is just the right place for the fancy French Beau Rivage restaurant.

Question by D.K. 52 · Apr 12 '12 at 01:34 PM · weight-loss weightlifting fat-loss hernia starch
What a journey this has been! I'm a 6 foot tall, 32yr old male, that weighed 183 lbs on Jan 10, 2012. In three months eating 100% paleo, I've come down to 162 lbs (21 pounds burned!). Almost all the fat came off my belly! Incredible! My body figure was kind of like Roger from the cartoon American Dad (skinny arms and chest with a little round belly popping out). For the first time in my life, I can see my ab muscles. I'm proud to say I've finally lost weight in a healthy and effective way! Ever since I was 18, I've been experimenting with every diet pill on the market and trying every stupid flush-the-fat diet out there - none of them ever worked. Of course, I was eating bread, pastries and cookies all the time too. But as soon as I tried the paleo diet - BOOM! - the fat was gone!
Funny Story: The weight loss has happened so fast, that I ran to the doctors the other day worried that I had an inguinal hernia forming on my right side which turned out to be an overdeveloped muscle (one side being larger than the other) which I never knew I had under all that jiggly stuff - I don't even recognize my own body anymore. The nurse thought my diet was awesome and gave me a fist-bump after reassuring me it was just a big-old muscle. My blood pressure has also come down since my last visit from 150/90 to 124/76! YES!
I've been eating lean meats 3 times a day (salmon, chicken, turkey) with 1/2 pound of grass-fed burger once a week as a fatty treat. I also eat tons of macadamia nuts as well as walnuts and almonds. My salad servings are huge; I literally eat out of a mixing bowl! Originally, I cut out fruits but starting adding apples and grapefruits back in 2 weeks ago in hopes of slowing the weight loss down. But it hasn't stopped. I keep loosing weight!
I don't want to disappear or turn into a twig. I'm happy where I am at a size 30 jeans and want to build muscle now. I work out 3-4 days a week lifting weights and while I haven't lost any strength, it doesn't look like I've gained any muscle either during the past 3 months.
Any suggestions on how I can keep the fat off but gain weight as muscle while still eating paleo? Is it time to add starches? If so, what kind and how much? Will my body know when to stop burning off fat or am I somehow under eating? I've been losing 1 pound per week in the last three weeks which might not seem like a lot but it makes me wonder - how much more can I really go? Am I meant to be 155 lbs and don't know it? :-/
Thanks in advance for you suggestions!

Answer by greymouser 19595 · Apr 12 '12 at 01:43 PM
If you are working out that much, some denser carbohydrates would be neutral or helpful to you. Consider starting at about a ~1/2lb sweet potato per day. If that makes you feel good generally, and weight loss slows a bit, consider branching out into other ones: yams, cassava, etc.
At 6ft tall, you are likely reaching or have reached "an ideal weight."
Many people here wish they had your problems. :-) Great job, and good luck!
Answer by Dave S. 21620 · Apr 12 '12 at 02:02 PM
In addition to some carbs as greymouser suggests, consider adding fatty meat (or butter/coconut oil) more frequently. Why? Muscle cells (myocytes) are made mostly from FAT, not protein. (Hat tip Paul Jaminet). Without plenty of fat, you cannot build more muscle - of course, protein is also required.
Anyone who knows anything about gaining or getting bigger says you need to do three things:
1. Work out heavy/high intensity - sends the growth message to your body.
2. Rest/sleep/recover - this is when you actually grow.
3. Eat! You simply can't grow if you don't eat enough.
In the words of Mrs. Claus: "Eat, Santa eat!"
Or from My Big Fat Greek Wedding:
Maria Portokalos: Ian, are you hungry?
Ian Miller: Uh no, I already ate.
Maria Portokalos: Okay, I make you something.
You seem to be afraid of saturated fat, which is only normal, considering the message that the media has been blaring for 40+ years. My counsel would be to educate yourself further into the truth of the matter. Some things for you to consider:
Meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies evaluating the association of saturated fat with cardiovascular disease http://www.ajcn.org/content/91/3/535.short "A meta-analysis of prospective epidemiologic studies showed that there is no significant evidence for concluding that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD or CVD."
Chris Masterjohn on cholesterol: http://www.cholesterol-and-health.com/
Dr. Eades review of Dr Malcom Kendrick's book "The Great Chlesterol Con" http://www.proteinpower.com/drmike/statins/646/
Anthony Colpo has a book by the same title
Gary Taubes "Good Calories, Bad Calories" pretty much destroys the diet-heart hypothesis (that eating saturated fat or cholesterol has any association with heart disease)

"I work out 3-4 days a week lifting weights and while I haven't lost any strength, it doesn't look like I've gained any muscle either during the past 3 months"
You might be over training. It would help if you posted your exact workouts.
Answer by RA 157 · Apr 12 '12 at 02:24 PM
I agree with Dave on this one, you want to eat more fat. Remember that when you are working out in any variety you need fuel. In a paleo diet fuel comes from fat not carbs, so through in some eggs, oils and ribeye (which helps on the protein)
I would also look into your workouts. It's OK if you work out a lot but keep the workouts short (30 -45 min) I would tell you to consider HIIT training. High intensity in a short amount of time. This will trigger your muscles faster than lifting or a longer period. Max out your weights.
If you tighten up those workouts, and eat more fat you should be good to go. I also recommend that you eat a gram of protein for every pound of body weight to see muscle gain. I use a protein called Carnivore, which is made from beef isolate, not only does it work really well and have a solid amino acid balance sheet, it is the best tasting supplement out there. (chocolate)
Keep in mind that when it comes to making a change all you need to do is usually change something simple. This will help you start to gain the muscle back. I don't want to sound like an advertisement but if you are looking to really start to make muscle gains I would invest in something like P90X and supplement that with your HIIT workout regime. You will see some good gains from that.
Congrats on your weight loss, man. That is awesome! Elevated LDL will likely go down once you stop losing weight. Both rapid weight loss and anorexia nervosa frequently result in elevated LDL which will recede once eating and bodyweight are stabilized.
So, once you stop losing by introducing some more calories, you're LDLs wil, drop. I wouldn't worry your head over it.Answer by gismcieri 634 · Apr 12 '12 at 02:04 PM
Eat more if you are loosing weight. You can eat more starch and/or more fat. Play with it. If you notice your self going tje wrong way for a few Weeks adjust and re access.
Answer by foreveryoung 16347 · Apr 12 '12 at 03:12 PM
And yikes, HDL that low isn't great. I have read that avocado has been shown to improve HDL/LDL ratio in human test subjects, although I cannot remember where exactly. As far as I know monounsaturated fatty acids are the best for improving cholesterol ratios (olive oil, mixed nuts, avocado, etc). Your diet is good though, lean meats, healthy fats, lots of veggies, some nuts, and fruits and starch depending on where your weight loss is at and your activity levels.
Congratulations again on your success. Love that thing about the doctor. I get stuff like that too, like last time I went for a physical my doctor told me to relax my abs, and I wasn't flexing. Keep up the good work bro. Add in a little carbs and/or fat. Personally, I'd add in some carbs only around workouts, and see how that goes. You could start with 120g sweet potato pre workout and 1 serving of fruit post workout. Or vice versa. You're likely getting a good balance of fats as is- lots of monos and just enough omega 3 and 6. The monos are great because they are more readily burned for energy than saturated, and so are omega 3 and 6. So they are better for staying lean and fit and not regaining any of that weight you lost. These studies show it:
There are more but those are just to prove a point.
Well who knows, the HDL could still come up over time. It's only been three months eating paleo anyways. I know that high LDL suppresses HDL because HDL is being kept busy removing the LDL. I hope that once my weight stabilizes, that my HDL/LDL will get better. At least my blood pressure has reversed it's destructive path. Thanks for those links, I'll read through them all tonight.
Last year, I tried "vegan bodybuilding" for 6 months. That was a disaster! I went up to 187 pounds, my triglycerides shot up close to 300, and my blood pressure went up to the 150s/90s. All I gained was fat!Answer by Rob W 197 · Apr 12 '12 at 03:53 PM
Congratulations on getting to this point. My story is somewhat similar to yours, although I have a heavier frame than you. I was 32, 6'1" and 230 lbs and almost magically lost 30+ pounds over on low-carb paleo. I was injured, so I wasn't working out at all.
After that, I decided I wanted to get serious with strength training. I was messed around in the gym multiple times in my life without much results previously. I purchased the book "Starting Strength" by Mark Rippetoe. It is low rep barbell training for beginners. As long as you commit to it (3 1 hour or so workouts per week doing the program as well as eating enough), you should build an impressive amount of strength in 6-9 months, with the weight going up nearly every workout. What program are you currently doing?
A few things I have noticed: Low carb paleo is great for losing weight. It is not great for maintaining energy during heavy workouts. Your muscles needs the glycogen manufactured from carbohydrates (or protein turned into glucose in the event of eating low carb) to fuel lifting heavy weights. For workout days, I add in a decent amount of starchy carbs and some fruit. You will need a lot of protein to grow muscles, since you are a beginner and have a lot of room to grow. Try for 1 gram per pound of bodyweight. Adding in additional fat to your diet is useful for helping you bulk up if you still aren't progressing. Basically, as other have said, eat more. Just be generally conscientious of what you are consuming and adjust as necessary. I went down to 195 from 230 and then put on about 12 pounds of muscle in the last 9 months. I am finally getting the hang of dialing in the amount of food to feed my workouts without putting on fat.
Excellent recommendations. Enough of you have mentioned "Starting Strength" so I'm going to research that and buy the book you're mentioning.
When everyone keeps saying "eat more fat, eat more fat", it still scares me. So what if I do as foreveryoung recommends and aim for more monounsaturated and omega 3 fats? When I hear "eat more fats", I instantly think of the damaging effects of excessive saturated fats from bacon, butter, and fatty beef. If I consume more macadamia nuts (high in monos) and lots and lots of wild salmon (omega 3s), then that should count as "more fats", right?Follow-up question: Hack my new strength training routine! 7 Answers

This is my "I love my new hair" face. It is cherry cola, and it is amazing. Someone should love this face because happiness looks good on everyone.
This is my "I'm saying goodbye to my brown hair" face. I'm feeling adventurous, and to let this out I'm dying my hair the color Cherry Cola! I will post pictures later. Someone should love this face because adventure looks good one every girl, and well guy for that matter.
This is my "look at my cookies that I'm so proud of face"! Why would someone love this face? Well maybe because homemade goods are awesome and anyone who can't appreciate something homemade is just ridiculous.
This is my best interpretation of a "fish face". I do this face to commemorate the stupidity of PETA calling fish 'the kittens of the sea'. Why should someone love this face? Well maybe because it is super adorable when someone dorky side comes out to play.
This is my "I REALLY love Bob Seger face". Why should someone love this face. Simply because Bob Seger is amazing.
I call this my "I'm super happy that my web cam doesn't make my eyes look super blue" face. Why would this make me happy? Well maybe because I actually have green blue eyes and I like that they are not as common as blue eyes. I like to celebrate my differences and this post is just one of the ways I do it. But, all of my posts have kind of done that. Anyways, I think that everyone should embrace what makes them different. What makes you different makes you beautiful.
This is my "I have no motivation but need to get things done face" As a college student I do this face a lot. Why should someone love this face. Well, mostly because it means that a person is more than ready for a distraction. That could be in the form of a walk, cuddling while watching a movie, or a lightsaber fight. The possibilities are really quite endless.
This is my "I like warm hats because being cold sucks face". Obviously I like to be warm. Being warm is cool. Why should someone love this face? Well because being practical is totally attractive.

Recently, we've seen Sacha Baron Cohen General Aladeen promoting his new movie The Dictator by doing all sorts of shenanigans, like dumping ashes on Ryan Seacrest or "murdering" Italian actress Elisabetta Canalis.
The guy never wavers or goes out of character and there's hardly an eye flicker to ruin the joke. That's why it's so interesting that Sacha Baron Cohen gave a rare interview dressed out of character. Naturally, it was BBC, because if you're going to do a serious interview, you may as well do it with them.
Cohen looked pared down in a beige suit without the beard and entourage of female guards. We also got a chance to hear his real voice and swanky British accent. Speaking to BBC's Will Gompertz in Cannes, he joked that granting this interview out of character was probably a mistake.
Previously, he never granted personal interviews because he was afraid his characters would be compromised when people recognized him. Although doing interviews as Ali G and Borat could be seen as a publicity stunt, he said it was to protect the comedy and the movie.
He also said his new film The Dictator was developed because he always found Gaddafi "hilarious," which is as good a reason as any.

A Peugeot RCZ Taster Session is the best way to sample what track days are all about without having to use your own car. You'll have 20 minutes of track time alongside one of our instructors for just £99!
These events are aimed at newcomers to track day driving and are a great place to start if you have never driven on track before. Don't worry if the idea of driving on circuit sounds a bit intimidating - you'll have one of the MSVT race instructors sat alongside you at all times whilst on circuit and will receive a full safety briefing prior to your track time.
We guarantee that you will go home having learned something and
that you'll take away new skills that will hopefully make you a
better road driver!
Please note: Peugeot RCZ Taster Sessions are for
drivers who have attended up to a maximum of three track days
before. If you are an experienced track day driver please do not
book into this event as you will not be permitted to take part and
will not be offered a refund on your booking.
Signing OnSigning of indemnity forms and checking of driving licences. |
Safety BriefingThis will cover everything you need to know about the day from rules of the event through to driving techniques and circuit information. |
Familiarisation LapsAlso known as 'ducks and drakes', the familiarisation laps are three laps carried out behind a pace car and give you a chance to experience each bend at a reduced speed and get a feel for the racing line. |
Unrestricted Track Time BeginsYou will be able to drive the remainder of the 20 minute session at your own pace and experience what a trackday is all about alongside your very own race instructor. |

Time Out says
Other than providing the full stop to his would-be '60s trilogy (previous episodes: Taking Off and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest), it's difficult to determine what could have attracted Forman to a musical as hopelessly leaden as Hair and its uneasy amalgam of draft-card burning, cosmic consciousness, ill-judged comedy and dopey sentimentality. Sounding, and for the most part looking, like a National Lampoon parody of some ghastly Swinging Sixties compendium, it lacks even the vitality of the stage show (books/lyrics James Rado, Gerome Ragni), which was at least persuasively ingenuous. The problem with Hair is that it's neither old enough to have acquired the picturesque dignity of a period piece, nor young enough to have the slightest contemporary relevance. The result is a smug, banal fairytale-with-a-message, redeemed only by the intermittently imaginative staging of the songs.Author: AC

Seriously.. Ignore the above review and WATCH THIS FILM - it's one in a million! As for the author of the Time Out review, they're obviously in the wrong job. I know a whole generation that still carries this film in their heart. And that ladies and gentlemen is always for a good reason.

CRAVE Amsterdam | The Urban Girl's Manifesto
It's here! Whoohoo!! The CRAVE Amsterdam guide book is in print and available to buy! Shoot me an email if you want a copy ;-)
The CRAVE guides are available in more than 20 cities in the US, two in Canada, and Amsterdam is the first city in Europe! How exciting!!
This past Monday, 13 September, was the official launch party at Hotel Casa 400 in Amsterdam, and what a party it was! A room full of interesting and inspiring female entrepreneurs, including the fabulous founder of CRAVE herself, Melody Biringer! I couldn't wait to get my hands on the book and flick through the pages, the photography is gorgeous – and it's quite something to look through a book and know so many of the women featured in it! Many thanks to the CRAVE Amsterdam team: Cristina Stoian, Isrid van Geuns and Athalie Stegeman; as well as the team of photographers (I suppose that includes me – ha! ;-)) for such a fabulous book and thank you 'CRAVE Amsterdam' for bringing us all together! Truly, this is a must have guide of all the women and businesses you need to know, and not just from Amsterdam, there are many from further afield including several from The Hague!
And look… I'm also featured in the book! :-)
So, do you want a copy?!! Email me for details, or come and find me at the Feel at Home in The Hague fair this coming Sunday 19 September – you might just receive a discount! ;-)
And… that's not all! Melody is coming to The Hague and will be the guest speaker at the Women's Business Initiative International (WBII) Networking Event on the 23 September. She will be sharing experiences from her 20 start up adventures and it will also be a great opportunity to ask questions about how she has built CRAVE into a global brand (the event is free for WBII members / €30 for non-members). It promises to be fabulous! :-)
Best wishes,

We Were There for the Strasmas Scratch
By Jamie Mottram | July 28, 2010
There's no DMV today as I'm still reeling from seeing Miguel Batista take the hill. Imagine that …
You're a Nats fan. No, you're such a Nats superfan you actually blog about the team all the time and make Nats-themed t-shirts (see above) and so on. And you happen to live six hours from D.C. but are in town for this one Strasburg start and this one Strasburg start only.
You've gathered a couple of good friends for the occasion, and your dad is even able to make it out to the park. You arrive without tickets but snag standing-room-only passes just in time. The four of you make it up to Red Loft as Andray Blatche ("Bulletproof!") throws out the first pitch, and you grab four cold, $8 beers. You lean in, on your toes to see over the folks on the rail.
Way down there, down in the twilight, the Nats emerge. You squint to see which one's Strasburg, the one everyone in the packed house came to see. But what's that? Who's that on the mound, all the way down?
Miguel fucking Batista.
So, yeah. Batista did a fine job, and the Nats won. But we only saw the half of it before heading to Justin's Cafe for a nightcap of microbrews and pizza. Justin's is a good place. I recommend it.
But still. The DMV will return as scheduled tomorrow, and the next day.

July 28th, 2010 at 10:34 AMI'm a Nats fan. No, I'm such a Nats superfan that I have owned a ticket to every single home game, I turned a term project in my documentary class at Syracuse into an excuse to get a press pass and cover the very first game at RFK (Aced it).
The boos, while immediate and emotionally-charged, bothered me. But there weren't as many as some of the reports I've read would lead one to believe(maybe in my upper-level, hoi palloi section, more people are likely to appreciate what they've spent their money on).
I would argue that by the end of the night (impressive, how many stayed, no?) no one can call themselves a Nats fan if they were still upset over the Strasburg scratch (which is not soemthing that one gets while trying to kick smack).
From where I'm standing, this looks like another chance for prejudiced media to kick a franchise as it's struggling to get on its feet.
Anyway, it was obvious that Strasburg secretly donned Batista's uni and proceeded to humiliate the asshat Braves. -
Jamie Mottram Says:
July 28th, 2010 at 10:48 AMGreat comment, horsey. I was actually surprised by how few fans booed, and how few left. I think most of us were too stunned to do anything else.
Also, the only reason we left early is b/c we couldn't see the field without craning our necks. And, generally speaking, Miguel Batista and the Nats aren't worth craning one's neck to see.
Terps77 Says:
July 28th, 2010 at 11:15 AMThe Nats front office should have been boo'd for not properly communicating to it's fans that their super star was scratched from the lineup.
horseydeucey Says:
July 28th, 2010 at 11:29 AMTerps, I think the decision was made a minute (or at most a few minutes) before first pitch. When it was announced in the stadium, I hit up google which yielded no results for about 10 minutes. It was a last minute call by the trainer and GM and took everyone by surprise.
MDG Says:
July 28th, 2010 at 11:56 AMYeah Rizzo went on MASN to explain in the 1st inning. Apparently Stasburg couldn't get loose so the trainer told Rizzo and he shut him down for the day.
Jamie Mottram Says:
July 28th, 2010 at 12:02 PMAll we knew at the time was what I was reading via Adam Kilgore, Ben Goessling and Mark Zuckerman on Twitter: "No reason given." So that was fun.

Seoul seeks cooperation with US lab on new particle accelerator
Korea is seeking to work with a U.S. laboratory on the construction and operation of an envisioned particle accelerator that will significantly help advance the country's research in various areas, including nuclear fusion, the government said Wednesday.
A memorandum of understanding for cooperation will soon be signed with the United States' Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, which has the world's second-largest particle accelerator, according to the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. The move comes as the country plans to begin construction of its first large particle accelerator, named the Korea Rare Isotope Accelerator (KoRIA), in June 2013. There are currently about 90 small and medium particle accelerators in Korea. Seoul and the Fermi laboratory are also considering setting up a new joint research center at the U.S. laboratory that will help train South Korean engineers and researchers to use the Korean accelerator, the ministry said. "The ministry plans to continue expanding its cooperation with other accelerator-equipped laboratories in the United States, Europe, Japan and Canada," it said in a news release. The ministry earlier said the KoRIA will be the most advanced of all accelerators currently in operation or being built as it will consist of both linear and circular accelerators, which will lead to the production of more exotic beams that are not normally found in nature. The project is expected to cost 460 billion won ($411 million) with the preliminary operation of the accelerator slated to begin in 2017. (Yonhap) |


text: UEFA European U19 Championship First Qualifying Round Wednesday 26 September – Monday 1 October 2012 England, Estonia, Faroe Islands, Ukraine Tallinn, Estonia *** There have been six changes to the original squad, with first England call-ups for Kieran Fenton (Nottingham ForesT), Raheem Hanley (Blackburn Rovers) and Adebayor Azeez (Charlton Athletic). Adam Jackson, Ben Osborn and John Swift have also come into the squad to travel to Tallinn. *** Noel Blake has named his 18-man squad for the First Qualifying Round of the UEFA European U19 Championship. England will get their campaign underway against Estonia, the host nation, on 26 September, before facing Faroe Islands two days later and they will round things off against Ukraine on 1 October. The top two nations in the group, plus the best third-place team across the 12 groups, will make it through to the Elite Qualifying Round which will be staged next spring. The Young Lions reached the Euro semi-finals last season where they were agonisingly beaten by Greece after extra-time, but the Head Coach knows they have a long way to go before they can contemplate another run to the latter stages. Blake has called upon eight players who travelled to Hamburg earlier this month for a testing friendly against Germany. Nine players will be hoping to earn their first U19 cap in Estonia and they will no doubt look to the experience of Nathaniel Chalobah and Eric Dier who have 20 appearances between them. However, every member of the squad does has appeared for England at youth level before, be that at U16, U17 or U18 level. The Squad Goalkeepers Jordan Pickford (Sunderland), George Willis (Sheffield United) Defenders Calum Chambers (Southampton), Jack O'Connell (Blackburn Rovers), Kieran Fenton** (Nottingham Forest), Sam Magri (Queens Park Rangers),^^^^, Brad Smith (Liverpool), Jack Stephens (Southampton), Midfielders Raheem Hanley*** (Blackburn Rovers), John Lundstram (Everton), Ben Osborn^ (Nottingham Forest,), John Swift* (Chelsea), Blair Turgott (West Ham United) Forwards Adebayo Azeez^^ (Charlton Athletic), Chuba Akpom (Arsenal), Jack Barmby (Manchester United), Jordi Hiwula-Mayifuila (Manchester City), Hallam Hope (Everton). * replaced Jordan Cousins (Charlton Athletic) ** replaced Tyler Blackett (Manchester United) *** replaced Lewis Baker (Chelsea) ^ replaced Nathaniel Chalobah (Watford - on loan from Chelsea) ^^ replaced Daniel Potts (West Ham United) ^^^ replaced Eric Dier (Sporting Lisbon) ^^^^ replaced Adam Jackson (Middlesbrough)
