Dr. Lionel Dibden, acting chair of the Dept. of Pediactrics at the Stollery Children's Hospital speaks at a news conference

However, the decision was stayed a few hours later by an appeal judge who said an expedited appeal in the case would be heard next week.
After calling it a "difficult situation" in which "there is no ideal solution," Justice Jean Cote granted the stay on the basis the ruling was a "life and death" decision.
Lawyers for the parents had argued that the removal of life support would lead to the child's death and therefore make any appeal moot.
If the child dies, the parents could be charged with murder.
Judge June Ross issued the earlier decision after ruling that she had the jurisdiction to determine the best interests of the two-year-old girl.
"I conclude and direct that the recommendations of (the child's) medical team that she be withdrawn from life-sustaining treatment and be placed on palliative care is in (the child's) best interests and this course of action should be followed," Ross said.
Immediately after the ruling, the parents' lawyers sought a stay, but Ross directed them to apply to the Court of Appeal of Alberta.
The case landed in civil court last week as a result of an application from the director of Child and Family Services.
Medical experts testified the girl is paralyzed and in a "persistent vegetative state" and is not likely to ever regain consciousness or make a substantial recovery from her "very severe" neurological problems.
Lawyers for the parents had argued the judge should leave it up to the couple. They said their clients are unable to give consent to withdraw life-support because of their religious convictions and love for their daughter.
According to court documents filed in the case, the medical condition of the child and her twin - who has since recovered - and the injuries they suffered contradict what the parents told officials had happened.
When paramedics first responded to the family's south-side home on May 25, they found both girls had bruising on their heads and faces and the more severely injured child had suffered cardiac arrest and needed resuscitation.
The parents said the twins were hurt when they fell down some stairs they had been playing on with their older brother three days earlier. They also maintained the girls were able to crawl and walk with assistance at the time.
But in a court report prepared by Child and Family Services caseworker Kathy Wood, pediatrician Dr. Lionel Dibden is quoted as saying the girls, due to being "profoundly malnourished," wouldn't have been independently mobile three days prior to their hospital admission.
"There is absolutely no doubt also that their dire nutritional state did not develop in a few days," he said.
The report says Dibden also stated that the bruises on the girls were "clearly due to multiple impacts" and he opined that they "cannot be explained by only one event."
Regarding the alleged malnourishment, the report says the girls' mom told officials they were born prematurely and her family has a history of twins and low weight.
However, Dibden is quoted saying no metabolic cause for their being underweight was detected and the nutritional condition of the girls was "clearly due to deprivation."
Also in the court documents is a letter from pediatric intensivist Dr. Allan de Caen in which he writes about the current condition of the girl who is on life-support.
"The unanimous opinion is that (the girl's) prognosis is dismal, and that withdrawal of life-sustaining care is in her best interests," he said.
The parents, who cannot be named under a publication ban protecting the identity of the children, are charged with aggravated assault, criminal negligence causing bodily harm and failing to provide the necessities of life.

Celebrate Beltane With Traci Hall
Celebration includes frolicking throughout the countryside, maypole dancing, leaping over fires to ensure fertility, circling the fire three times (sun-wise) for good luck in the coming year, athletic tournaments feasting, music, drinking, children collecting the May: gathering flowers. children gathering flowers, hobby horses, May birching and folks go a maying".
Beltane, like Samhain, is a time of "no time" when the veils between the two worlds are at their thinnest. No time is when the two worlds intermingle and unite and the magic abounds! It is the time when the Faeries return from their winter respite, carefree and full of faery mischief and faery delight.
Beltane is about honoring Life. It is the time when the sun is fully released from his bondage of winter and able to rule over summer and life once again.
Celebration includes frolicking throughout the countryside, maypole dancing, leaping over fires to ensure fertility, circling the fire to start.
Lyn, Sharon and Mary check their cloaks. Earlier they fought over the mirror as again as they primped for the evening. All of them dressed in long Gothic dresses. Over their dresses they each drape lovely velvet capes on their shoulders. One trying to outdo the other they each primp to look beautiful. Checking every angle Lyn touches the bold color on her lips, "ahhh perfection!" She declares.
Sharon slaps Lyns, hand as she reaches for her lipstick.
"Ouch, why'd you do that?"
Sharon declares. "You always use my lipstick and every time you close the top before you turn the lipstick down. That's my third one this week!" While Lyn and Sharon are discussing the lipstick Mary slickly applies some of the object. Smacks her lips together and says, "Come on let's go, you two are gonna make us late,"
Sharon knows something happened. "Hey you too Mary, stop using my lipstick it you'll ruin how it conforms to my shapely lips." Under her breath Lyn whispers, "Yeah, people can see them flapping better." "What?" Sharon jumps in.
"Nothing, let's get going."Mary urges them.
Oliver appears at the door dressed in his own velvet cape, he drops his hood and scowls. But he looks mighty good in his own Gothic garb.
"Ahem, Ladies?" Swiftly Lyn races in her size 14s, Sharon, shakes her booty, and Mary's holds her hooters, as they make a run for the woods. The clearing is in readiness as they approach. Celebrators wait patiently for the evening to start.
The Beltane fire lights up the evening sky as the Celebration begins! Tarot Cards, Scrying bowls, Pendulums, Rhune stones, crystals, magic wands, staffs, Cauldrons, and drums are everywhere in town. Before the Beltane fires die down everyone will take a piece of wood to light their home hearths.
Wiccans of all ages dance and mingle. The evening's festivities are only a precursor to the mornings celebrations. The fir Maypole stands ready and decorated for the circling that will ensure that spring brings new life to the world.
Wonderful fruits of all types fill the tables. Marigold custard, herbal salads, fresh vegetables, fruit tarts, Beltane cakes, honey and yogurt, tempt the revelers. A huge angel food cake is decorated and frosted for the occasion. Vanilla ice cream for everyone!
Sharon's ready to roll. The food is ready. All varieties of fruit, marigold custard, fruit pastries, herbal salads, lots of green things, Vanilla Ice Cream, and wonderful Beltane cakes line the tables.Beef ribs drip juices over cooking fires while spicy sauces wait to coat them.
"We look pretty good don't we ladies?" Lyn twirls in her long flowing robe.
"The food is fabulous Oliver, as usual." Mary pats him on the back. While she places a Do Kiss Me sign there, Sharon and Lyn chuckle. "He deserves that!" Sharon tries not to laugh.
"Boss?" One of Oliver's eyebrows raises.
"Look It's the carriage of the faery Queen, the beautiful maiden of the Isle of Mighty, and it's magnificent! Look it's Traci!"
Gracefully Traci steps down from the luminous carriage and before she knows it, it vanishes.
She turns to take Oliver's offered hand and walks to the clearing in the mystical woods as she embraces her fellow Wiccan's. Radiant in a brilliant white floor length dress. The material shimmers as she removes her cloak and approaches the hostesses. She waves and smiles while she takes the hand of many of her teenage Wiccan friends.
"Hello," Traci says. in a sultry voice. She turns to the gathering and raises her hand for silence.
"Welcome one and all to Beltane!" She smiles. "We have everything we need to celebrate. As soon as dawn arrives you couples will all return to celebrate with us. Let the festivities begin!"
The crowd roars and Traci waves to everyone.
She turns to the hostesses as they stand tall and ready for the magic to begin. "Thank you for all you have done, you all look so lovely." They gush with pleasure at her compliment. Sharon calls Oliver who turns and kisses Traci on both cheeks. Having seen the sign on his back, she grabs him an kisses him until his eyes glaze over. Mary snickers and claps her hands, her sign works!
As Traci faces dawn the clearing is suddenly bathed in beautiful white flowers.
It's Magic!! White Wiccan Magic!
The hostesses of the AR&T welcome Traci and wish her the best. Today's question is:
If you could have a magical power, what would it be and why?
Rhiannon's scalp tingled as she practically melted beneath the hot lights on the Crystal Lake gymnasium stage. Her English teacher insisted they get community service credits, whether they wanted them or not.
Dressed like Little Bo Beep, her red hair twisted in tight ringlets—more Orphan Annie than Bo Peep, in her humble, unheard opinion—Rhee cringed. Her best friends in Las Vegas would die laughing at the photos of Rhee in pantaloons and a huge white apron that would never make the fashion guide in CosmoGirl.
"Baa, baa, black sheep have you any wool…"
Rhee rolled her eyes as Corey, dressed just as ridiculously as she was, sang his heart out. Unfortunately, even that slight movement was enough to make her large white mobcap fall down over her forehead, blinding her just when she needed to take a few steps forward.
Shoving it back with the hand that held her crooked staff, she bonked herself in the eye and warbled, "Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full." She knew what the crowd was thinking even without reading their collective minds. Don't quit your day job. The snickering in the gym did nothing for her self-confidence.
Jared, in a rich farmer's costume, took her by the elbow and stopped her from falling off the stage.
"Thanks," she muttered.
The past four months, even though they'd broken up in December, had been filled with flirtatious looks, lots of hot eye contact and a few moments of almost picking up the phone to call. They'd even started "accidentally" meeting at the clearing on Sundays. She'd been tempted to do a love spell…thank the Goddess she'd talked herself out of that très bad idea.
Janet, Jared's twin, pranced out on the stage in a fabulous dairymaid costume. Rhee grudgingly noticed that Janet sang beautifully and danced like a professional. Was there anything that Janet couldn't do?
Looking down, Rhee saw the pink ribbons on Janet's left slipper slide free. Janet, en pointe, twirled and the satin ribbon trailed behind like a pink tripwire. Jared stood next to her, unaware that his sister was in danger of slipping and breaking her slender neck, or at least spraining an ankle. Rhee had a split second to make a decision—let Janet fall and enjoy the brief seconds of her nemesis's humiliation, or do the right thing and somehow save her from the embarrassment.
If she was a good person, Rhee told herself, she wouldn't have to even think about doing the right thing.
Janet whirled and dipped and the ribbon tangled beneath the slippery sole of her ballet slipper. Her voice quavered as she realized the problem.
Too late.
Rhee concentrated on the bale of hay next to where the blond star stumbled, facing the audience while psychically inching the soft hay so that at least when Janet fell, she'd land on something besides the worn wooden floor.
Janet's feet went up in the air, she was cut off mid-note and it brought the house down.

Traci, lovely lady, I'm always ready to don my Celtic princess outfit (no really, I've got one) and come party in the forest with your glorious self! I totally feel for Rhee and honestly, I would have hesitated, too, but I'm glad she did the right thing (sort of, lol). The magical power I'd love to have? The power to travel back and forth through time, of course!
ReplyDeleteI think I'd be greedy. I'd ask for more magical powers!
Traci, my you look lovely in your white dress. The field of flowers you magically made appear is beautiful!
Sharon and Lyn will be here soon. Lyn tripped over her feet and Sharon tripped over her. They got into a cat fight and messed up their makeup. You understand that fixing their faces takes time. Ha, ages!
Is that them I see?Hi Lyn, your lipstick is smeared from ear to ear. Was that intentional?
Lisa got any ideas?
That was a great excerpt wasn't it. I have an idea, why don't you take off about three layers of that powder you have on your face. Other than that, you look as lovely as always Lyn. Is Sharon still primping?Hi Lyn, you look beautiful in your Celtic dress! With that red hair and your flashing eyes. Watch out Oliver. This is a powerful Celtic With here. She has magic you cannot imagine!
I saw one online I will try to find the recipe for you again Barbara. Have something to drink. We have a massive list of drinks to pick from. Chocolate daquiri maybe? Best to try the Maywine for luck!Sharon flies in, befuddled. Oh, dear. It would seem one of wicked powers abducted me for the past little while. Never mind. I'm here. Welcome to your party, /Traci! What fun and what a party going on. Congratulations on your release, and oh yes, it sounds delightful. Mary and Lyn, thank you darlings for holding down the fort in my abduction. Yes, Oliver, a wine would be nice.
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon, so glad you're OK sweetie. Don't worry, we know it takes a long time for you to get into that butt flattening girdle of yours. You weren't really abducated by wicked powers were you? OK, that's your story and your sticking to it? Well, I'm glad you're OK anyway. I've spent the last half hour looking for my shoes. They're so big I stepped right out of 'em!
ReplyDeleteWe've had a lot of visitors - I hope Oliver's looking after you, Lynn, Lyn, (My namesake!) Barbara, Ann, Clover, Beth and Kristin.
Phew, yes, please Oliver, I will have some more mead! Thank you.
Now what were you saying about kidnapping the King, Mary?
Traci, I like your character Rhiannon, where did you get the idea for her from? I'm particularly interested, being a Welsh horse lover, since Rhiannon is the Welsh goddess of horses!I think you're right Lyn, she got stuck in her girdle and couldn't get her hands out when she pulled it up. By the way Sharon, Lyn's feet are at least have nicely polished toe nails. It draws your attention away from the dune buggy's she has for feet.
Kristin is gonna be the new FRW president, I'm pretty sure of it. And she is adorable.
I'm feelin' old. And I just am glad I have these perky hooters. Guys love them big. So there.
Traci where are you?Gracefully Sharon turns to show off her figure. From the front you would never guess her butt is that huge. She hides it well. Bustles, things like that work well when your butt is enormous compared to the rest of your body. Oh well,,,
Watch out Sharon!!!
Lyn pushes her into Oliver, who drops his tray of drinks, and you guessed it. New makeup for Sharon.
Lyn, that was daring. You know she will get you.As King of this here land, I cast this spell upon you, Traci:
I have decorated the Wiccan altar with lengths of ivy and rosemary, and placed three lighted white candles on it.
I have burn Wiccan incense containing rose petals.
I have taken a clear quartz crystal and a rose quartz crystal that have been left outside in the moonlight from last night. I now hold one crystal in each of my hands.
I have spoken out loud a declaration of devotion and fidelity, repeated our wedding vows and other promises that have been made between us.
I have clasped both hands together so the crystals touch; visualized as clearly as possible your love and pure devotion to me, the King.
I then cast the two crystals into a glass bottle containing fresh red wine.
Drinking from the chalice, I have visualized a peaceful, fulfilled life together as a couple into the future.
Now......Don't screw it up! I have Llama's ready.Wow! Powerful Greg. I guess you like having her around. I can understand that and King Gregory you are the best FRW husband. I have watched you support Traci and it's a beautiful and touching thing to see.
OH NO!! Sharon and Lyn, quick come with me. I have just heard that Noneron, the rogue faery, has gathered some other magical forces and they are headed this way!
Oliver, what'll we do? Do we have any forces?LOL Warblers are getting upset? Heck I just got chased by a flock of them. Wait, they are landing on me! That's so cute they are singing with my flapping lips.
We keep borrowing your lipstick because we love the shade too. I didn't know it would make me flappy.
Don't hide Sharon, those crystals won't help. Put your hood up on your cloak and no one will know it's You!!
Wait there might be a rear bulge that they will recognize. HeeHee.
Yes, I know they will recognize me by a frontal bulge too! Poor Lyn the front of her shoes is uncoverable. But ain't we lovely!King Gregory -
I just loved your mystical incantation - methinks you may be a little too worried about our Sharon's Oliver though, he's all flirt and no action really (sorry Oliver sweetie, but you know it's true, you're such a gentleman underneath it all!)
I would really love to hear more about those Llamas.I'm glad to drop in on this magical celebration. What power would I want? To heal people, because then they could fight their battles and pursue their lost loves and enjoy life. I'd like to be able to relieve pain and suffering in the sick and injured. Back to the celebration. Is there dancing?
ReplyDelete- Patrice WiltonApril 9, 2010 at 5:19 PM
Hi Traci,
I didn't recognize you floating through the woods in that lovely white dress. I was frolicking with Oliver behind the bushes, until you came along! Now if I had a magical power it would be to create such beautiful prose that I would soon be as famous as you. I've been dodging mischievous faeries all darn day - they are dragging me everywhere when where I really want to be is drinking and having fun at this party! Pink sprites in feather boas, silver griffins and cross dressing giants - not for everyone else to see - I've done my best to keep them from party crashing.
Rhiannon is a great character because she is, at heart, a teenager who just wants to know what's going on. The Wiccan aspect to the stories just adds another layer to her daily drama, lol.Geez, if I had a magical power it would be creating a no -smudge lipstick, or a dura-bra for Mary, or a love spell for Sharon! Seriously, if I had a magical power it would have to have something to do with making everyone happy. Perhaps I should channel Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality and wish for World Peace????
ReplyDeleteLyn leaps from the branches to land at Traci's feet, springing gracefully on her little toes (her own that is, not Traci's).
Oh I'm glad you dodged the faeries and sprites Traci. One never knows who will try to gatecrash our Roast parties! LOL, I was just wondering if Rhiannon had any Welsh heritage, because of her name!
What great power wishes! Sadly Mary really needs that bra! We keep telling her so much silicone defies the laws of gravity *&grin*!
World peace and the power to make everyone happy? That would be fantastic and everyone would vote you World President!- Kathleen PickeringApril 9, 2010 at 8:16 PM
You know I love celebrating w/you, Traci! Happy Beltane as well. I can honestly say, this is a first!
xox, Piks Sharon, your bubble butt is blocking my view. Ouch, Lyn just kicked me with her size 16 shoes!
My boobs are my own, King Gregg stopped plastic surgery for boobs years ago.
The king and queen are so in love. It's so, so, beautiful to see! He called her and told her that a passage in her novel he just read, was the best thing he has ever read in his live! Ain't that so special. He is the best king we could have to reign. I promise you.
But poor Queen Traci, can't even look?Sorry I'm late Traci, and of course' the gals: Lyn, Hywela, Sharon, and Mary. I have a plausible excuse for my being tardy, and here it is. I was circling the fire 3x for good luck, which I shouldn't have done after drinking, when I suddenly felt hot. Yes, that's what I thought; that maybe I had been thinking of Jared. But, it was only my right calf that felt hot. My rich velvet robe had caught ablaze. Then, that's when I saw them--the faeries laughing and pointing. I think one of them was called Mary, at any rate I know they're to blame. Long story short, I threw off my robe & dumped it in my cauldron of apple cider.
To answer Traci's question: Lol, if I had to choose another power, besides controlling the wind element, I'd like to magically fill my book sheves with all the newest releases. Ha,ha. TGIF, ladies!A magical dawn breaks over the forest, turning the field of beautiful flowers to a soft blush pink.
Traci, Witchy woman, the other lovely lady guests and the three hostesses walk to top of the hill to see the sunrise. They bathe their faces in the morning dew, to increase their beauty and ensure it lasts for the coming year.
Down below, the faithful Oliver checks the still smouldering fire to ensure each of the revellers will have a stick to take home to their own hearth. (He's also cooking breakfast to make sure none of the guests go home hungry.)
Thank you Traci for being such a great Queen of the May and Guest of Honor and for bringing the King with you, and thank you to the guests for joining in with such gusto!You had me at Oliver - LOL
What a great post! I found you through The Cozy Page's links. :)
Just wanted to tell you that my latest release, "Love Divine" (erotic romance) takes place on Beltane, 420 A.D. It's more about co-existing than any one religion, but you may like it just the same.
I'm going to put this blog on my list of faves -

It is a misnomer that those in the agriculture business are always financially secure – after all, everyone needs food – right? Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. The scary reality is our farmers and food producers are often the hardest hit during times of economic crisis. Managing your agriculture business can be scary, but there are ways you can stay afloat, even during the worst of times. Making small changes to your product line and carefully budgeting for expenses by using a Reach Prepaid Card can make all of the difference.
It is a good idea to consider today's current market. While many families are being forced to cut back, there is a growing market for organic fruits and vegetables. Making a change to producing organic foods may offer you an opportunity to ride out the current crisis. Consider talking with produce managers at local grocery stores to see what the demand is in your area. Switching over some of your producing fields to organic foods on a trial basis can help you determine the potential of making the change.
Funding a change like this is obviously a concern, but one that can be conquered with budgeting. Create a workable budget for your trial organic agriculture projects by matching the expenses with what you would normally spend for that field. Use a Reach Prepaid Card to pay for the expenses without going over budget. By lining up potential buyers, starting small, and sticking to a plan you may find yourself in a much more secure place.

Using Social Media for social integration
To what extent do internet users in the 60 - 75 age bracket use online communities such as Facebook, Wikipedia or Seniorweb? And why do they use them – or not, as the case may be? These questions are answered by this study, which Bern University of Applied Sciences has published together with Agentur Zeix (the Swiss agency for usability and user education) as part of the EU research and development project «Third Age Online».
Older internet users find it difficult when they wish to connect to an online community: major usability obstacles and lack of awareness of the services on offer make finding the way in a time-consuming process. Once in, they often find that there is little explanation about the community principles, or that setting up their own page is simply too laborious.
Once these obstacles have been overcome, it was found that age is not the main factor in determining whether or not someone uses an online community. More important is their connection with everyday life. All active users have an entirely personal benefit in «their» community: a hobby, a way of keeping in touch with long-distance friends, a personal mission. The results of the study indicate that people who are less well integrated socially find it more difficult to participate in online communities than those with a good level of social integration.
The recommendations of the study's authors are aimed not only at the community users. Family, friends, associations and commercial companies and media are also asked to encourage the social integration of persons in the «third age». A German management summary and the complete study in English are available free of charge on the website for the «Third Age Online» project.

This is an idea I have which is based off of the manga Black Bird. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the plot, I have placed a brief summary here.
Misao sees things that other people can't. Normally, the monsters would do harmless things. But suddenly, on her sixteenth birthday, the creatures she sees take it farther by trying to kill her. She's saved by a childhood friend from her past, Kyo Usui, who just so happens to be a demon as well. She finds out that she is the rare, "Bride of Prophecy", also known as "The Senka" or "The Holy Fruit", and depends on Kyo for protection from those who wish to eat her for her blood, which gives the consumer incredible power. (Summary found on Wikipedia)
I read part way into the manga, but it quickly lost my interest. No offense to anyone who still enjoys it, but I really didn't like the way it played. I did, however, see promise in the original premise. What I want to do is take that premise and make it into a different story. The original characters will not be used and I would even be open to changing the mythology used, so it does not have to be based around Japanese culture. I would love to hear any ideas you would like to add to the story. I also would like to add more action to the plot and make it more of an adventure story than just purely romance.
Now for the formal aspect of this proposal.
1. I have put the minimum literacy level at high causal. I would like a decent paragraph if not more for each post. That doesn't mean you have to write a book or anything, just give me some good content. Grammar is also important, but I will forgive mistakes. I'm sure I've made plenty just typing this. Absolutely no one liners.
2. As for the role I am looking for, I would like to play the female in the story. I can play men, but I always find playing women a little more entertaining. That being said, I don't mind playing male side characters at all and I will more than likely have some.
3. I would like to keep the maturity rating at a PG-13 level.
4. I would like someone who can post fairly often, but I prefer quality over quantity so take your time with your replies so that they can be thought out rather than rushed.
I will only be accepting one person to do this with, so first come first served. Feel free to shoot me a pm if you're interested and we can start going over details. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I'll be waiting.

I really loved reading this book. Between the sullen commentary of the Arab revolution from the perspective of TE Lawrence to the wonderful descriptions of the other characters involved it is at once a fascinating piece that talks about the Middle East and the cultures that exist there and also a journey by a single man putting forth all his efforts for a cause he doesn't quite believe in.
Anyhow, it's phenomenal. Definitely worth reading.

Detroit Metropolitan Airport: A Case for Privatization
The nation's first comprehensive proposal to privatize a commercial airport was inspired by Britain's successful 1987 effort to privatize eight airports, including London's Heathrow. If Detroit Metro were properly privatized, it would benefit county finances, air travelers, and area economic development. … more
The Michigan Accident Fund: A Need for Privatization
Though prevailing legal opinion had concluded that the Accident Fund, a workers' compensation insurer, had been operating as a private insurer, Attorney General Frank Kelley ruled in 1976 that the Fund was in fact a state agency. Smith examines the controversy ignited by Kelley's ruling, culminating in a state takeover of the Fund in 1989. His powerful case for privatization of the Fund is just as relevant today and, in fact, is a major reason why the Engler administration planned to do just that in 1994. 31 pages. … more

R-L: Brian Chalker, Steve Tomlin, Kevin Harris (MASCo), Lindsey Orr (MASCo), and Rae Harris of Walcot Arts Trail.
MASCo WALCOT host another party at the new Walcot Yard
Last weekend, 5th and 6th June, saw the Walcot Arts Trail in Bath, celebrating the 1,600th anniversary of Walcot's independence from the Romans!
And on this auspicious occasion, how appropriate that Britain's biggest reclamation and architectural salvage company, MASCo WALCOT, should take part.
The event opened with a reception hosted by MASCo WALCOT MD, Steve Tomlin, on Friday 4th June at Walcot Yard. Not quite the 500 guests who enjoyed our lavish launch on 7th May, but a well attended and inspiring event nonetheless with guest of honour, Brian Chalker (pictured above). The former Chairman of Bath and North East Somerset Council and Bath's current Champion for Heritage and Historic Environment officially opened the festivities.
Re-discovering Bath's heritage: a visual archive of Walcot
The exhibition on display at Walcot Yard, curated by Lindsey Orr and which ran throughout the weekend, included a visual collection of archival material relating to Bath's artisan quarter. The displays showed how the area has evolved through its history and grown with the city, and it demonstrated the challenges that town planning presents for a World Heritage City.
A fascinating opportunity to bring locals and visitors to Bath closer to their historical environment, MASCo WALCOT would like to develop the material and support Bath in continuing to share its unique heritage and memories with larger and wider audiences.
If you'd like to share your memories with us… memorabilia; photographic material; memories of local buildings; favourite architectural features; or historic events, please contact us: email@example.com
Special thanks to: Rae Harris, Walcot Arts Trail; Colin Johnson, Bath Record Office; Stuart Burroughs, Museum of Bath at Work; and Andrew Swift, Akeman Press. Thanks also to Nick Cudworth who has loaned us two beautiful artworks from his gallery.

Consultant to help Derry with new transfer station
DERRY — The town has selected a consultant to complete a feasibility study and conceptual planning for the town's new $3 million transfer station.
"Kleinfelder Northeast has experience in designing over 30 transfer stations in Massachusetts and New Hampshire," said Town Administrator John Anderson.
The firm will be working on the feasibility study and conceptual planning this month.
After the study is completed, Anderson said the timeline for the project has preliminary design beginning in October with the final design completed by February of 2013. He said the goal is to garner all necessary state permits for the project and have it go out to bid that month, as well.
"We are looking at construction beginning in May of next year with a completion date of next November," said Anderson.
By fiscal year 2014, public works director Mike Fowler estimated the added capabilities of the new facility could increase recycling revenues by as much as $250,000 per year, more than enough to cover the anticipated $200,000 of yearly principal and interest on the bond.
With an enhanced facility, Fowler said the town would see increased revenues from recyclables such as plastics, tin and aluminum that cannot currently be separated from the co-mingled recycling system.
Fowler noted that are no planned increases in personnel for the transfer station, even though other towns of similar size have much larger staffs. The Derry transfer station has five full-time and two part-time positions.
"Right now, we're trying to design the new transfer station for ease of handling with the current staff," Fowler said earlier this year.

A massive-sounding floor pedal for rockers.
The Rogue Distortion pedal creates an edgy distortion effect reminiscent of the hard rock tones of the '70s and '80s. It also lets you overdrive your favorite tube amp or solid state amp, creating harmonically rich, sustaining tones.
Three control knobs let you quickly adjust the amount of distortion, high-end bite and overall volume of the effected sound. A true bypass switch engages and disengages the effect. An LED indicator shows you when the effect is engaged and gets dim when it's time to change the battery.
The Rogue Distortion pedal is made of aluminum and built to last.

THERE were two logos on the grey felt conference bags offered to delegates at the recent COP19 United Nations climate change negotiations in Warsaw.

Small Island States Fear "Annihilation" From Failed Climate Negotiations, Protests Mark COP17 Closing Hours
Karl Hood, Grenada's Minister of Foreign Affairs and chair of the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS), responded to a question from veteran ABC correspondent Bill Blakemore about the fact that climate scientists believe it is impossible to keep global warming below 1.5C above pre-industrial levels: "If they're saying that 1.5 isn't possible, are you asking us then to accept annihilation?"
Watch Hood respond to Blakemore's question:
H/T ThinkProgress for the news and the video
Yesterday, U.S. climate envoy Todd Stern said that he considers the 2°C goal codified by the G8 and the Cancun Accords to be a "guidepost," not a "cap that you must meet."
The frustration felt by delegates from AOSIS, the Least Developed Countries (LDC), and others - especially the YOUNGO youth delegates whose future is imperiled by inaction - is coming to a head in the final hours of COP17 in Durban.
Earlier today, six members of the Canadian Youth Delegation had their credentials stripped after they stood up and turned their backs during Canadian Environment Minister Peter Kent's speech. Watch this clip, courtesy of Democracy NOW!:
The Canadian youth protest came on the heels of an even stronger rebuke yesterday by 21-year-old Middlebury College junior, Abigail Borah, who stood up as U.S. negotiator Todd Stern took the stage to address the delegates. Borah gave him a piece of her mind on behalf of American youth.
Watch Amy Goodman's excellent Democracy NOW! report about Ms. Borah's protest and the fallout:
The New York Times recaps Borah's statement of protest and the reaction:
Scores of delegates and observers gave her a sustained ovation. Then the South African authorities threw her out of the conference. Mr. Stern smiled as if the applause were for him and then continued with his prepared remarks.
With just one day to go - and nothing close to a legally-binding agreement in sight - hopes are fading once again for meaningful action to address climate change. It seems the "most powerful" nations on the planet are in fact the biggest cowards when it comes to tackling the most urgent challenge of our times.

"If they're saying that 1.5 isn't possible......" = 'then please send $$$$$ asap.'
I don't understand it. We've not had 1 full degree of warming since pre-industrial times and we need to worry about waiting until 2020 (9 years) to see if there is any reason at all to support a new treaty on carbon reduction? Do these people think the climate is going to suddenly take off or something?
The soon to vanish under the blue waves nations of the aosis need help. They need your money now... so they can build dykes.
They also need to be told what dykes are.
Member nations like the Bahamas know all about building large resort hotels on the beach but they don't seem to know about dykes. That's really unfortunate.
Here's an idea. We should require every vacationer visiting those resorts to bring with him a shovel or at least a sandbag in order to contribute to dyke building and we should also send some kind of dyke building information.
Sometimes wonder if they really beleive these dramatics. The youth I can understand as they are neccesarily naive but the representative for some island, come on. One good thing about the internet is that it captures all of these misstatements so years later we can all have a good laugh.
... is that they have nothing to loose, and they certainly won't be out of a job for doing what they do.
Its later in life for me. I need cash and I make money from the oil majors for what I do.
I can't pay my considerable mortage or raise my kids while attempting to make bail.
The best I can do is hide my real name and try to counter garbage you drivel out.
Some would call that hypocritical others would just call it very telling. Much like al gore there is no reason to practise what you preach as we both know it's a fairytale.

She self-published a book about being gang-raped and used personal journals she's kept since the 1985 event: "The 'M' Word: My Story of Being Gang Raped in the Military." The "M" word refers to military sexual trauma. She wrote the book as an homage to other women and men raped in the military, some of whose lives ended violently.
As a teenager, Kurtz was proud to enlist, even dreaming of becoming an officer, but seven months into her service, several soldiers raped her at age 19 on the U.S. Army base in Kaiserslautern, Germany, she said.
Her assailants drugged her, and the rape left her pregnant. She had an abortion.
For 11 months, she demanded her chain of command file charges, but she suffered reprisals, she alleged.
"Every week I went up there, they said they're still investigating and I was getting a lot of retaliation at the time, and demoted," she said.
When asked for a comment Thursday, the Army said it couldn't immediately respond to Kurtz's alleged rape because research involves seeking records from nearly 30 years ago.
But Army spokesman Lt. Col. S. Justin Platt added Friday: "Army leaders are committed to -- and accountable for -- eliminating sexual harassment/assault incidents by creating a climate where soldiers feel safe from this threat and a climate stigma free pertaining to reporting."
In 2006, the government found the military's Criminal Investigation Division records regarding Kurtz's 1985 case, and those documents allowed her to receive 100 percent disabled veteran benefits for the post-traumatic stress disorder she suffers from the assault, she said.
To this day, she said, she cannot trust people. She has been through more jobs than she can count, she said. She and her daughter's father, whom she met in the Army, parted ways when the daughter was 2 years old. She hasn't been able to date anyone since and now attends support programs with other women who have been raped in the military, she said.
"People say we're demeaning our country and our service. That's not it," Kurtz said. "We love our country and our service."
But, she said, "possibly being raped" shouldn't be part of the job description.

Minnetonka library staff's Comments | |
The unwinding : an inner history of the new America by Packer, George, 1960- A look at America in the new millennium through the eyes of some ordinary folks interspersed with chapters about well-known people. The emphasis is on the aftermath of the financial crisis and the Great Recession. A great book. Very readable. Short-listed or the National Book Award. posted Oct 19, 2013 at 7:15AM
| |
The garden of evening mists : a novel by Tan, Twan Eng, 1972- This writer's second novel, short-listed for the Booker prize. Similar themes and settings to his first work, "The Gift of Rain". One of my favorites in 2013. posted Sep 11, 2013 at 4:58PM
| |
Perfect, once removed : when baseball was all the world to me by Hoose, Phillip M., 1947- Nostalgic, heartfelt and humorous, this is an enjoyable read...especially if you are a Baby Boomer baseball fan! posted Sep 3, 2013 at 7:26PM
| |
TransAtlantic : a novel by McCann, Colum, 1965- A story spanning 5 generations, from the Civil war to the present, and historical figures Frederick Douglass and George Mitchell, all inter-connected. "The sky lifted the hem of Belfast." A worthy successor to Let the Great World Spin and one of my favorite new fiction works this year. posted Jun 29, 2013 at 6:52AM

Dial H. Volume 1, Into You by Mieville, China By the use of strange dials our heroes are able to tap into a random heroic identity for a time. From Boy Chimney to Hair Bringer the super heroes themselves aren't exactly run of the mill either. Miéville's characters are always original and he really breathed new life into the classic super hero comic. The twist at the end adds further depth to this super-hero comic. posted Jun 27, 2013 at 2:58PM

Jon Flanagan is one of the most promising talents to emerge from the Academy in recent years.
The Scouse right-back is already appreciated for the heart he shows on the field despite a limited number of appearances.
He came to the attention of most Kopites at the age of 18 when injuries meant he was handed a shock debut by Kenny Dalglish against big-spending Manchester City at Anfield.
The Reds won 3-0, with Flanagan earning the praise of his manager and respected journalists like Tony Barrett, who called it the best debut since Rob Jones.
Flanagan later dedicated his Reds bow to his dad, who was once on Liverpool's books but never made the grade.
In 2011 the youngster was finally recognised by the England youth set-up, earning call-ups to the U19s and U21s. He made his debut for the latter in a 6-0 win over Azerbaijan.
Flanagan signed a new contract at the start of 2011-12 and currently provides competition for Martin Kelly, Andre Wisdom and Glen Johnson.

I generally like to write how-tos and tutorials on this site but I feel the need to mention some of the WordPress work i have been doing with Tim Nash.
We have been working very hard over the last couple of months putting together a number of new plugins and updating some older ones.
Finally we got the major bugs ironed out and the products released last week. They are as follows:
- Your Members 1.4.5 – Final planned release before YM 2.0
- Your Minder 2.0
- Your CAPTCHA Adverts – CAPTCHA but advert based
The following additions to Your Members were released:
- Your Members Firesale
The following products are currently in closed Beta and will be shortly be released for all (in Beta):
- Your Responder – Autoresponder Plugin
- Your Classifieds – Classified Advertising Plugin
All of the products have had their interfaces 'tweaked' to allow for the reshuffle (complete change) in the recent release of WordPress 2.7 and we are always optimising the code to be both more maintainable and more efficient.
If you have not heard of 'Your Brand' or want to find out more then please visit www.newmedias.co.uk or drop by the forums where myself and Tim can usually be found answering questions and helping people out.

Fran lives in Babb, Montana. She is serving on her second Haiti disaster relief team, previously working with Medical Teams International in Sri Lanka and Indonesia. Her husband, Fred Hesser, PA is also on his second Haiti disaster relief team with Medical Teams International. He previously has worked in Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Uganda.
The sad day arrived today when Medical Teams International Team 15 headed for Port-au-Prince to get ready for early flights out tomorrow morning. There are great people on the new team also, but after living with folks for three straight weeks, they all become family and we'll miss the old team very much.
Now that our numbers are down to a workable few, Dr. Stephane asked me to return to the clinic today as triage and intake person. So I bundled up my automatic blood pressure cuff and automatic thermometer and went to Cazal with the team. We held the clinic in a walled-in church which was great for crowd control, but had little ventilation. Our clothes were slick with sweat by midday. It was brutal. Trying to put the blood pressure cuff on wet arms and sit next to hundreds of sweaty bodies was not a pleasant experience.
Max was my interpreter today and he quickly picked up my instructions to the many people I find with high blood pressure about cutting back on salt and the use of Magi (bullion type cubes) which is loaded with salt and MSG.
There weren't too many really sick people there today. We're past the immediate disaster time of the earthquake now, and what we mostly see are ordinary walk-in clinic cases. But there's always some that still have dramatic earthquake injuries. It's still sad to see the limbless people walking on crutches. I'll be glad when the prosthetic programs are up and running so they can get new legs and arms.
A young girl was brought into our clinic today that was a very sad case. She'd been born without a functioning rectum and doctors seven years ago had created a temporary one on her side. Unfortunately, the next phases of plastic surgery were never done and now her doctor has been killed in the earthquake. The hospital where he worked was destroyed.
We referred her to another hospital that is doing some reconstructive surgery. Hopefully she'll get the help she needs.

Does the Supreme Court's Healthcare Ruling Help Obama? >
Obamacare Is Now Roberts-care
The fact that the most conservative justice upheld the healthcare law is a major win for Obama
June 28, 2012
Don't you just love it? Obamacare just became Roberts-care.
American government and politics are full of ironies and that's what makes the process so fascinating. The most conservative chief justice of the Supreme Court since the 1930s just handed President Barack Obama a big policy win, legitimized the iconic achievement of his presidency, and paved the way for the biggest expansion of federal power in decades. Only in America.
By a 5-4 majority, the court ruled the individual health insurance mandate is constitutional. Four justices (Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ruth Bader Ginsberg) ruled that Congress's power to regulate interstate commerce justified the mandate. The fifth justice, Chief Justice John Roberts, disagreed but said the law was legitimate by virtue of Congress's authority to levy taxes. All that matters is that the justices said the mandate was constitutional. It doesn't matter that the justices traveled on different roads as long as they got to the same place.
[See editorial cartoons about healthcare.]
Since the Affordable Care Act became the law of the land, a plurality of Americans consistently indicated opposition to the law. But if you read the fine print in the national polls, the level of opposition is misleading. Most of the features in the act are in fact quite popular. Americans overwhelmingly supported the parts of the law that stop health insurance companies from treating their customers like diseased cattle. The feature that polarized opinion on the law was the overwhelming opposition to the individual mandate. So Roberts has legitimized the only part of the law that Americans dislike and left intact the features of Obamacare that Americans value.
I'm sure that nobody game planned the battle over healthcare reform, the way it played out. But the White House has good reason to spike the football today.

A low-level Barksdale dealer and sidekick to Bodie Broadus, Poot is, as they say, for the ladies. Frequently derided for his constant pursuit of corner girls, Poot is just as frequently a visitor to the University Hospital clinic for sexual transmitted diseases. Growing up in the towers and finding work selling heroin and cocaine in the low-rises alongside Bodie and Wallace, Poot was hesitant when word came down from Stringer to execute Wallace to prevent him from becoming a witness against the organization. Bodie took the lead in that murder, but, after wounding their friend and then hesitating, Bodie had the gun grabbed from his hand by Poot, who finished the killing - more an act of compassion for the dying Wallace, than a cold-blooded slaying. Caught on the wiretaps in the second Barksdale probe, Poot is doing a short bit in Jessup on his first serious adult charge.

-- right out -- shall wait Illinois at a standstill -- can't borrow money it is a crisis cal Roth WGN radio.
It was -- -- and Illinois and she joins us now.
Yesterday there was supposed to they were trying to issue a bond trying to raise 500 million dollars they have -- cancel it.
Because the interest they would have to pay with just exalt -- couldn't afford it.
I'll -- now at a standstill.
-- able to pay bills and they can't borrow.
Well Stuart you know I've been in corporate finance for many years before -- was a radio host and I can tell you and a bond issue like this -- polled.
Even though the PR says it was because it was to expense them.
I'm telling you there were no buyers here the reality is I'd like to say we are the heartbeat of America but Illinois indeed dead -- of America and we need to get.
Serious about pension reform otherwise that we are going to be any real state of crisis.
-- Taliban not.
I mean they could not get pension reform through and they tried I mean do what plans on the -- they could not get it done.
The legislature I think that John was it last week or something they could not get anything done so I'm asking where to from here.
-- -- really tough situations -- obviously they're going to try and pass that back to the taxpayers back to the private sector.
Individuals -- working hard there are only so many more taxes -- can be extracted from the people of Illinois.
And there's going to be a massive -- -- -- at some point in time.
An Illinois is really a proxy for what's going on at -- federal level as well I'm hoping that the fact that they're saying that bond auction was polled.
I'm hoping that that will be the -- the catalyst they need to get serious but listen we've been down this road on a smaller scale before.
And there's always unwillingness to compromise here and it's a 100%.
The government pensions the union pensions government spending and it just means that stopped.
-- any hints that they will ask for help from the Fed's.
Well you know Rahm Emmanuel thirty trying to do that in terms of health -- he's already trying to shift that.
Back onto the federal health care system so I would say that that is -- tactic that they possibly will look for the problem and that the United States can't afford it either so at some point the the passing of the -- -- the stop with somebody because somebody have to pay for it and nobody has any money.
Carol a what do you stay there for a second I've got another -- this is a non financial story but it is very much Chicago related -- the -- Just one week after she performed president Obama's inauguration.
A teenager from Chicago was killed in a shooting.
The unintended victim of a stray bullets hobby -- Pendleton was with a group of friends at a park taking -- from the rain when a man opened fire on the group.
She was shot in the back.
The White House says that President Obama and his from his thoughts and -- as -- with the family.
Carol you live in Chicago.
I have to ask whack really is the president on this thought some -- with the family okay what else -- you do it.
We'll listen -- yet if he was going to be here -- that he'd have to be here every day because this story -- every day sometimes multiple times a day in Chicago we have over 500 people in the city who were killed last year and I'm sorry that no assault weapons ban.
No high capacity magazine band none of the things that they're talking about is going to solve this problem apparently have that -- has gotten.
Come on in Charles this is -- an opportunity for President Obama to show some leadership in this area are absolutely I've been very upset about this because you know we -- -- -- focused on guns NRA somehow become the most evil organization in America when in fact.
The -- overwhelming you know third largest percentage of victims of of this they're black people and over who overwhelming.
-- people killing them are black people.
And and is -- true violence epidemic the fact that the president hasn't spoken out as it is that it's it's a damn shame and you know I gotta tell you I think I -- -- I was gonna say -- don't and so on Saturday.
I think like nine people were murdered in there's -- woman named Shirley chambers.
Her youngest son was murdered he used the last of her four kids all four have been -- including a fifteen year old daughter.
For people who want family murdered wiped out at the violence epidemic.
Why I mean why is -- Chicago up in arms why isn't the -- I was black people would get up and arms we can't give the president a free pass because this is the true violence epidemic that's destroying this nation.
It's it's a huge problem the problem here is not -- a different kind of NG problem if they gain problem.
It is the Al the elephant in the room I wish somebody would stand up and say let's -- they -- with a terrorist organization they are terrorizing our street.
They are killing the the young kids of Chicago.
And so let's fix the real serious stand that will actually affect what's going on here instead of cosmetic policies about cosmetic -- -- okay we'll not let you.
-- and we see the president say something Angela do some things about what's going on in his hometown I'm really gonna agree on the -- Going to be doing is gonna do it every day he's gonna have to do it every single day what do every day in Chicago do it.
Yeah all right.

All me bitching. VIP packages went up $25 each. Shirts went up $5 each. You released EP's "so the fans had music to hold them over". When the real reason was to make some extra money because some of those EP's were straight garbage. You guys seem to be getting a little money hungry. Strange Music might be getting more well known and richer but most of us fans aren't. End vent

DUDE YOU GET 1 HOUR AND YOU PAY 150 BUCKS..... shitty part is you can't even talk to tech more than 3 seconds.....I was like Nigga I'm paying you 150 bucks.... your going to call my friend from my phone
Strange_LYFE said:
wow, i come across thos thread and had to read it from begining to current befor stating my opinions. How about we look at a number of things here. Tours cost money, videos, editing merchandising, all of it costs money. I think as a fan it doesnt phase me to spend money on something if i want it. They offer differents kinds of merch if u dont rock or buy merch you still got the music or jus a live concert to se..if you can afford a meet and greet and its something you really wanna do cool, no one is pushing this down your throats. Shipping costs have gone up as have production costs, they have a full staff of people in their deartments so they have a payroll they need to adhere to.
the e.p.s are really meant for a REAL hardcore fan of the artist...cause if your a hardcore fan of that artist getting the music and supporting it you don't feel bad about cause your waiting for that next full length almost immediately .Personally I liked the e.p.s from last yr for the most part, about the only one that I didn't care for was EBAH, it wasnt a bad e.p. it grew on me a little but that one just didn't hold my attention except for the don't tweet this and that was cause of the video.
I really like ces cru, the moment i heard them on the "bad season mixtape" i liked the delivery and styles, I got to see them perform and book them and they were really humble honest dudes, really into the music, and making it quality...you can look at each artist on the label differently because everyone has their own image, and style, their own "packaged branding" but they all have their own quality of music.
Stevie stone, after hearing his first album "new kid comin" I liked that album except for "wait a minute" red wine, 573, rap game callin those songs were just fresh, and heavy on the beat... definitely gets me amp'ed up with energy.off the "rollin stone" you have keep my name out ya mouth, my remedy, and if you like those songs or the styles they were done and your a hardcore Stevie stone fan then yeah your gonna buy that artists' e.p.Are you enough of a fan to want to meet the artist and get some stuff ? if so then your gonna budget your self so u can afford to do it...but if your just doin it because u think its a "nessecity" then your missing the point. 150 bucks a package...that package helps fuel a tour, and keep the road crew members paid..the artists are living a life workin performing and it wears on you, trying to make enough money off of music to afford to keep your family fed...alot of artists have to make the choice of "full time musician and possibly not having ENOUGH success to keep your family fed" ...
if your mad about costs going up, thats understandable but the cost of living for EVERYONE in this country is going up, you have taxes, less jobs, required medical coverage for employee's who work 30 or more hours...so companies can afford ot stay in business they cut hours and hire more people...strange expands slowly to aqquire and provide jobs, There is a lot behind the scenes not everyone see's. If you have met any of the artists in the past on any o the past tours then you know how much they appreciated the fact ppl were spending their hard earned money supportin them...thats why they talk about it so much in their music,.....Independent label, paying for things and keeping it as fan orientated as they can.
Travis and Tech have been really good on and about trying to keep it fun for the fans, "hey if you like our shit then you'll buy it, or you'll play it" i mean its not liek they say "you have to buy stuff you dont like" they are offering more options for people who like a particular artist more.
you look at the vip pack and this yr the only cd's they are giving you are the eps...maybe you didnt wanna preorder them or pick them up cause u wanted to get a vip expierence so u could meet the artist etc etc...bu if you take out the eps you still have some pretty neat stuff u may have wanted but didnt wanna order cause it was too exspensive at the time, either way they wanna meet fans but they also wanna keep it controlled some artists dont do vip...and others ask for a grand or more (your basic Pop act like anyone whos currently popular on pop radio)
i mean when you look at it they say thank you for supporting them their dreams their life style and spending your money on them, when there are any numerous other artists and acts out there or even thing u could spend ur money on you like them enough to spend it on them...im jus saying if you think a pre order is too expsensive dont buy one, you have the right and option as a fan to choose what you do or don't want ot spend money on.
I don't think the quality of the shirts are that bad and most of the stuff i do buy is during 50% of sales just because it's cheaper to buy multiple items. I think their hoodies are nice in terms of quality, the pre-order shirts aren't the best quality but i mean i've worn them to multiple places so it don't bother me but then again i ain't swag swoop swoop like some
When I bought a Strange shirt from the Absolute Power tour it was heavy and quality. When I got my last shirt with a pre order it was thin and fit small. And the styles are just kind of..I dunno below average. I like quality. So while everyone is goin Diamond Supply, I go up a notch for Pink Dolphin. I don't go down for Southpole and that's what it all reminds me if is like some Southpole shit. And I don't want to come off spoiled. Who else merchandises like Strange? But when you have the best rappers under one roof why not have the best of everything else too?
Fuck it, I'll take dope rappers and crappy clothes over crappy rappers with cool clothes.

January 12, 2007 New York — Proposals to accelerate the development of tuberculosis (TB) drugs were outlined today at the conclusion of a two-day symposium titled "No Time to Wait," convened in New York this week by the international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontires (MSF) with the support of Howard P. Milstein and Weill Cornell Medical College's Abby and Howard P. Milstein Program in Chemical Biology. The symposium brought together more than 100 TB specialists, drug developers and regulators, policy makers, donors and activists to outline practical proposals to fill the gaps in TB drug research and development (R&D). TB kills nearly two million people per year, primarily because of inadequate diagnostic and treatment tools. While roughly one drug for HIV has been developed each year since the start of the epidemic 25 years ago, the latest novel TB drug in today's standard therapy was developed in the 1960s. Basic science is not being translated into new TB drugs needed to improve treatment, according to an MSF analysis of the TB drug pipeline. There are not enough promising drugs in the pipeline and serious funding gaps prevent the development of candidate drug compounds through to clinical trials. Resistance to TB drugs is growing at a rapid pace, with 450,000 new cases of drug-resistant TB detected each year. The recent detection of hundreds of cases of XDR-TB, which is extremely difficult and sometimes impossible to treat, adds further urgency to the situation. TB remains the main killer of people with HIV, in large part because existing TB drugs and tests are poorly adapted for use in people with HIV/AIDS. "In TB research, there needs to be a convergence of innovation, incentive, and access," said Dr. Carl Nathan, Rees Pritchett Professor of Microbiology and Chairman of Microbiology and Immunology at Weill Cornell Medical College. "We need to see openness, leadership and collaboration among all TB actors." Experts attending the symposium emphasized several actions that urgently need to be taken to improve the situation:
"We need increased clinical trial capacity, fast-tracked clinical trials, and criteria for compassionate use of important candidate drugs," said Dr. von Schoen-Angerer. "To make any real difference, we need to see a dramatic increase in funding and political will." The symposium emphasized a need to build a global TB R&D movement, as was critical to the advancements in HIV drug development. Strong political leadership is required to improve collaboration between scientists, drug developers, care providers, and affected individuals. Symposium participants agreed on the need for a massive increase in funding by governments for TB R&D, as current TB drug discovery initiatives are insufficient. Participants voiced support for an effort launched by governments at the World Health Assembly in May 2006 to examine alternative ways to prioritize and finance health-needs-driven R&D. |

JR Here's my bread pudding, actually from The Palace Cafe in New Orleans. One bit of advice is to use day old Italian bread rather than French which sucks up too much of the liquid prior to baking and makes the end product too dry. (don't agree with the recipe in that all the bread should absorb all the mixture). haven't used a whiskey or rum sauce for the white chocolate bread pudding but will have to give a try. For the rum or whiskey sauces thers's a lot out there, foodtv.com is where I got mine. Let me know how it turns out. Enjoy. 3 cups whipping cream 10 ounces white chocolate 1 cup milk 1/2 cup sugar 2 eggs 8 egg yolks 1 loaf French bread, sliced into 1/4 inch pieces and dried in the oven 2 tablespoons chocolate shavings for garnish Heat the cream in a double boiler and add the white chocolate; when the chocolate is melted, remove from heat. In a double boiler, heat the milk, sugar, eggs and egg yolks until warm. Blend the egg mixture into the cream and chocolate mixture. Place the bread slices in a baking pan. Pour 1/2 of the mixture over the bread and let settle for a while, making sure the bread soaks up all the mixture. Top with the rest of the mixture. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 275 degrees for 1 hour. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the top is golden brown |

Moderation my man, Moderation. For anyone traveling to N.O. - The Palace Cafe - chocolate bread pudding, Mr. B's (incredible barbeque shrimp), Brennans i.e. sazeracs, Dickeys Steakhouse, etc. - are all great restaurants of the Brennan family and you won't have to sell the family farm to go to as you would if going to Commanders Palace (don't get me wrong, probably the #1 restaurant in the USA). For any future travelers have for years had a low cost to sell your mama listing of restaurants in N.O., if anyone is interested just let me know, would be happy to add a couple of inches to your waistline.

Every year, Google releases its Zeitgeist report, the tally of which search terms inquisitive Canadians typed in most. For the first time, the site compiled a list of the top 10 federal politicians Canadians searched for the most. The list provides insight into which politicians Canadians are seeking more information about, especially when combined with information on timing, geography and related search terms. Google provides only relative measures of search traffic and not absolute numbers.

I've said often that I'd never have dated my SO if I'd met him on a dating website. The. man. can. not. spell. Meeting him in person, I think I'd actually known him as an acquaintance for years before ever seeing anything he'd written, and the spark was already there. On a dating website I'd have just seen a badly spelled profile and clicked the Back button.
