Life Expectancy for PKD Patient after Stopping Dialysis
2013-05-22 09:42
My father has end stage PKD and decided to stop dialysis. How about the life expectancy for PKD patient after stopping dialysis? Going through dialysis for long term and suffering from so big discomforts makes many dialysis patients try to live without it. However, is this behavior dangerous? Is there a method to make them live longer? Today, you can get what you want to know?
What's the life expetancy for PKD patient after stopping dialysis?
Dialysis is a life-extending method for patients with advanced kidney disease as well as end stage PKD, because at this time nearly all of their kidneys has lost their ability to work. To prolong their life span, they must live with some kidney replacement treatments like dialysis. Even though long-term dialysis is more likely to cause severe discomforts, stopping dialysis prematurely is life-threating without any kidney repairing therapy.
According to clinical survey, most people who stops dialysis without doctor's permission can live only several days to several months. This time is so short that these patients even can't enjoy their life fully. Is waiting the coming death the only choice for these patients? Of course not. Since some great breakthroughs are made in recent years, stopping dialysis isn't impossible for people with end stage kidney disease any more.
How to prolong the life expectancy for PKD patient after stopping dialysis?
Dialysis is needed when patients' kidney function is lower than 15%, so kidney function improvement is a must if they want to decide stopping dialysis. In view of this, kidney experts work together and create a great breakthrough called Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy.
This therapy absorbing the essence of traditional Chinese medicine has a big improvement, because it can not only help shrink kidney cysts but also repair the damaged kidney tissues. Through improving the reabsorption of sac fluid and transporting enough oxygen and nutrition to the damaged kidney tissues, more and more kidney cells can recover to work again without pressure from big kidney cysts.
If you have PKD and live with dialysis, remember that only when your kidney function is improved, it is safe for you to stop dialysis. You hope to get rid of dialysis, or you want to shrink your kidney cyst? You can leave a message in the form below or send email to email@example.com.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The Wisconsin Judicial Commission could decide Friday whether to take any action against 29 state circuit court judges who signed petitions to recall Gov. Scott Walker.
The Landmark Legal Foundation filed a complaint against the judges after a Gannett Wisconsin Media (http://shebpr.es/Ka7pS7 ) investigation revealed the judges' signatures. The judges say they have a constitutional right to sign the petitions and that the Wisconsin Code of Judicial Conduct does not specifically address recall petitions. The code bars judges from supporting political parties or candidates.
The Landmark complaint alleges the judges' signatures constitute "inherently political activity." Commission executive director Jim Alexander tells Gannett the issue would come up at the panel's next meeting. That meeting is scheduled Friday.

From: Douglas Englebert, Division of Quality Assurance
There have been several serious medication errors that have resulted in Class A and B
violations for health care facilities in the state. Most of these are easily avoided with
proper written orders. Listed below are the most common errors that were cause for
1. Do not use U to abbreviate the word units when ordering medications. An error
found was Insulin 4U that was taken as 40 units. Always write out the word units.
2. Do not use a trailing zero when writing orders. Another error involved the
dose of 5mg that was written 5.0mg and the period was not seen. In this case 50mg or ten
times the dose was given.
3. Do use zero to begin a number less than one. An order for one tenth of a drug
was written .1mg and the patient received 1mg. If the order was written as 0.1mg, this
should not have happened.
4. Another source of error is the abbreviations for every day (q.d.), every other day
(q.o.d.), and four times a day (q.i.d.). In several instances the period in q.d. was
mistaken for an i and the drug was given four times a day and not daily. The
opposite has also occurred.

The newspaper Asharq Alawsat published a series of articles between January 25th and February 2nd, which were a condensed version of a new book by Dr. Sayyid Imam Abdul Aziz Al-Sharif, better known as Dr. Fadl, a prominent Jihadi theoretician. His books were used by al-Qaeda to train and educate its members in matters of Islamic jurisprudence and religious principles.
In his book, titled "The Future of the Conflict between the Taliban and America in Afghanistan", Dr. Fadl pursued his attack against the leader of al-Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden and his second-in-command, Ayman Al-Zawahiri. He accused both of them of being fully responsible for the "catastrophes" that have befallen the Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq. T
he new book by Dr. Fadl, imprisoned in Egypt since 2002 after being handed over to Egyptian authorities by Yemen, is consistent with his previous series of books which he published in the last few years, starting with "A Guidance for Jihad Activity in Egypt and the World" (2007), in which he provided Islamic legal arguments which, in his view, strip the actions of al-Qaeda of its "jihadi" aspect.
Due to the influence exerted by this Egyptian surgeon who led the Egyptian Islamic Jihad before the reins of leadership were handed over to Dr. Al-Zawahiri in 1994, and who wrote the two books "The Essential Guide for Preparation (for Jihad)" and "The Compendium of the Pursuit of Divine Knowledge", which are two principal training manuals in al-Qaeda training camps, it is natural that his criticism of Bin Laden and Al-Zawahiri would cause a stir in the midst of the jihadists. Some of them set out to launch virulent attacks against the person who was once described by the Egyptian Islamic Jihad as "the mufti of the jihadists worldwide". That was before he changed his stance from those held by the new leadership under his colleague and compatriot, Dr. Al-Zawahiri.
Dr. Fadl's criticisms of the actions which he considered to be misrepresenting Jihad - and subsequently Islam itself – lost their credibility from the Islamic legal viewpoint when he went on to engage in a personal dispute with Dr. Al-Zawahiri. The latter published a rebuttal to Dr. Fadl's book "A Guidance for Jihad Activity" titled "The Exoneration: A Letter Exonerating the Umma of the Pen and Sword from the Unjust Allegation of Feebleness and Weakness" in which he defends the actions of al-Qaeda.
Dr. Fadl came out with a counter-rebuttal titled "Exposing the Exoneration". In his book "The Future of the Conflict Between the Taliban and America in Afghanistan" (in which he expected the Taliban to be victorious), Dr. Fadl is seemingly trying to readjust the direction of the compass – which was lost due to the personal disputes between him and Al-Zawahiri taking the front seat, relegating his legal arguments that al-Qaeda's actions cannot be attributed to Islam to the background.
This time, he focused on the actions of Bin Laden and Al-Zawahiri and how these actions have caused harm to the Islamic Community which they claim they are defending.
Once again, Al-Zawahiri did not escape the attacks of Dr. Fadl, as the latter reiterated his accusations against him for leading the youths of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad to imprisonment and death in their fight against the Egyptian government. He accused Al-Zawahiri of doing so in order to please Sudanese intelligence which granted him residence in the 1990s. (He said that Al-Zawahiri had told him personally that he received money from Sudanese security forces in order to carry out attacks against the Egyptian government led by President Hosni Mubarak.)
In his new book, Dr. Fadl accuses the two leaders of al-Qaeda, Bin Laden and Al-Zawahiri, of trying to obtain popular support from Muslims by claiming that what their organization is doing is for the sake of Palestine and the fight against America. Dr. Fadl denies that this is actually the case, and that in reality they are seeking leadership.
The Egyptian doctor dedicated a significant part of his new study to blaming Bin Laden personally for what happened in Afghanistan, saying that he launched his September 11th, 2001 attacks without informing the Taliban, which Bin Laden himself admitted was the case. He said that Bin Laden had brought the Americans to overthrow this regime, which refused to hand him over for prosecution. He also indicated that Bin Laden is responsible for bringing the Americans to Iraq because after the attacks of September 11th, Washington adopted the strategy of pre-emptive war, which consists of attacking potential enemies before they could initiate an attack, which is what happened in Iraq in 2003.
Dr. Fadl said that Bin Laden and Al-Zawahiri did not have the ability to resist the Americans in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
He believes that what they did reveals the extent of their disregard for people in general and Muslims in particular, whom they have reduced to guinea pigs for experimenting on their ideas in order to solve their first and difficult equation: How could they realize major gains with limited resources?
He added that "the idea that they have mounted resistance against the Americans and the Jews is a lie. They killed the weak, and ran away from the strong. They brought America to Afghanistan and then ran away, leaving the fighting to the Afghans. In Iraq, they killed hundreds of thousands of the Iraqi people, and they caused sectarian strife. There were 21,000 prisoners held in American prisons in Iraq, and they were unable to free any of them, because they do not attack military positions but instead target mosques and marketplaces, until the opposite of what Al-Zawahiri expected happened as the Iraqi people rose up against them because of their barbarity, and preferred the Americans over them."
Sayyid Imam paused to reflect on Iraq saying that "what has happened in Iraq in the past two years has never happened in any resistance movement against occupiers. People turned against the members of al-Qaeda -- their fellow Muslims, fellow Arabs and fellow resistors. They gave preference to the occupiers because of the unprecedented atrocities committed by al-Qaeda against the Iraqi people, from mass killing and destruction, to kidnapping and demanding ransoms, and imposing exorbitant taxes, theft, criminalizing legitimate activities and imposing punishments that have no basis in Islamic law. Every time the US Army would go after them in a particular region, they would run away."
Dr. Fadl repeated his Islamic legal argument that it is not permissible for Muslims to carry out bombings in Western countries.
He explained how it is not permissible for a Muslim to enter a Western country with a covenant of security (Aman) – such as being issued a visa – and then engage in an offensive action against that country, because it is a form of treachery and Islam forbids treachery. He said, "Even if a Muslim enters a non-Muslim country and he is safe and not under threat from them but they abuse other Muslims, he is not permitted to betray them."
He added, "If they have committed all these atrocities and brought calamities upon the Muslims, and opposed Islamic rulings and the words of Allah and his Messenger, may peace be upon him, and are in a state of weakness and running away, what will they do if they gain control of a country?"
He called for setting up an Islamic tribunal for the trial of Bin Laden and "all those who support him, approve his actions and rationalize them. Bin Laden made the decision on his own to order the 9/11 bombings as well as others, and he was the first one to justify it. Then he ran away, leaving others to pay the consequences."
Dr. Fadl's new book will not cause a major upheaval in the thoughts of al-Qaeda supporters. Just like his previous positions were not able to rein in al-Qaeda, his new positions will most probably be similarly unsuccessful.
But his new contribution in terms of removing legitimacy from al-Qaeda's actions comes in the context of many 'revisions' that the Jihadists are making in many Arab countries, all of which boils down to one thing, which is criticism against the actions of Bin Laden and his supporters. Will this new wave of "jihadi revisionism" – including the positions of Dr. Fadl – prompt al-Qaeda members to think about what they are doing? Some, at least, will think longer before engaging in their actions, knowing that many Jihadists, including their Mufti Dr. Fadl, consider them to be against Islamic teachings.

Bin Laden is Saudi and he holds the same thinking. The Americans worked differently and they brought them to the region. Like all Saudis, he is only interested in terrorism and oil secretly. At the end, they served their purpose to defame Islam and Muslims. They found no way to get rid of him. Bin Laden's family and Bush's family are friends (terrorism and oil), and this is known to all people and no one denies it.
رياض القيسي
Unfortunately, today, real Islamic thinking is lacking among the Muslim youth in general. Most of the lessons they listen to encourage them to carry out terrorist operations, and motivate them to carry out destructive and violence acts. They promise the youth things that are not mentioned anywhere in the Holy Qur'an. The government should hunt for those people, whose names are falsely connected to religion, while they incite people to violence, killing, racial discrimination and other kinds of encouragement and motivation, which lead to destruction and ruin for peoples and societies of the world in general, and the Muslim society in particular. On the other hand, there are many good preachers, who call for good, kind treatment of others, and for giving a space for the Muslim religion to coexist with other religions and ideas, which do not harm the communities living in the same country. Many of those good preachers are fighting terrorist ideas, standing against them and explaining their harm and bad consequences on society, the individual and the whole country. Many of them educate people on how these terrorist ideas will lead to destroying and spoiling the image of the Islamic religion as well as Muslims all over the world.

The Keene State College Counseling Center serves the Keene State College community, an undergraduate and graduate population of about 5,500 students. Our services are available primarily to students. However, we also consult with faculty and staff. In addition, we work closely with the Center for Health and Wellness and a psychiatric consultant. Our clients present a broad range of diverse developmental and mental health issues. Our office is busy, and interns are given a great deal of responsibility, autonomy and support. This is a team-oriented, hardworking, and fun internship site.
DESCRIPTION: The Internship Training Program is founded upon the belief that the training of emerging counselors is one of the most important and valued activities that can be performed. As a result, we invest a great deal of time and energy ensuring that interns are provided with the highest quality training and supervision possible. One of our objectives is to provide an individualized training experience that is unique to each internâs current and developing professional needs and abilities. Interns will receive a highly diversified training experience that will, over the course of their training year, provide a representative experience of being a staff member in college mental health. Interns participate in all functions of the Counseling Center: individual and group counseling, designing and providing outreach programs, and performing consultation with other college areas.
QUALIFICATIONS: Applicants must be currently enrolled in a Masters level program in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Clinical Psychology, Dance Movement Therapy, Social Work, or School Counseling, and have completed some academic coursework prior to internship, including counseling skills/techniques and psychopathology. Mental health experience is preferred, and applicants must be highly motivated and eager to learn. An interest/experience with multi-cultural and diversity issues is essential. We are looking for self-starters who can work independently yet who enjoy the interaction and cohesion of a staff that works hard as a team and relies on one another.
EXPECTATIONS: Interns are expected to participate in staff meetings Total internship hours equal 20-25 per week, depending on home program needs. Scheduled hours occur between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Outreach programs often occur after hours, and interns are expected to be âfirst respondersâ in all programmatic areas in addition to the 20-25 scheduled hours. If needed, interns are expected to join the team for campus crises that might occur nights and/or weekends, over and above their regular hours. This may happen once, twice, many times, or not at all. Internships begin on August 18, 2014 and end on May 15, 2015.
SUPERVISION/TRAINING: Interns receive l hour per week individual supervision with a senior staff member who is a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor or licensed Social Worker (determined by home program requirements), 1 hour per week supervision/staff meeting, 1 hour per week group case consultation/seminars, and 1 hour per week peer supervision/training. Senior staff members are always available for consultation on an âas neededâ or crisis basis. We provide a thorough one-week orientation prior to the start of the internship, and various trainings throughout the year.
EVALUATION: Interns are evaluated in accordance with their program requirements. However, evaluation is always an on-going, collaborative process throughout the internship.
Candidate application should include a cover letter, resume, and three letters of recommendation (at least one should be from a current faculty member). Applications must be received by February 14, 2014. Once application is received, an interview will be scheduled for the morning of either February 20 or 21. Interviews take approximately 4 hours.

SOUTHERN PINES, N.C. (AP) Janice Moodie didn't need a caddie Saturday morning to complete her second round at the U.S. Women's Open.
The Scot was less than 3 inches from closing her round a day earlier when lightning threatened and the horn abruptly sounded to stop play.
So after daybreak she returned to the 18th green with only her putter, tapped in a gimme putt to finish her 76 then turned around and went back home.
"I think I might have squeezed it (Friday) if we had just gone ahead," Moodie said. "It's just one of those things, isn't it? The horn's got to be blowing sometime. It just happens to be when I'm doing my first putt."
Now comes the next challenge: killing roughly 10 hours before round three is expected to begin if it even starts at all.
It's been that kind of week so far at Pine Needles, where the Open began its third day with most players still stuck in the second round and Mother Nature dominating the field.
Threats of thunder and lightning loomed large during the first two days, leaving some players to spend more time with pool cues and pingpong paddles in the clubhouse rather than putters on the practice green.
With contingency plans being discussed to extend the tournament into Monday, the star-crossed event that can't seem to get itself started has players and officials wondering if an end will ever be in sight.
"It's going to be a marathon weekend," Morgan Pressel said.
Play resumed as scheduled Saturday when this cozy nook in the south-central North Carolina sandhills dodged the latest batch of expected strong storms. But, in keeping with the theme of this year's Open, more severe weather was predicted for the afternoon.
"This area has gone for weeks on end without any kind of weather," said Mike Davis, the USGA's senior director of rules and competition. "And bring the USGA to town, and it's amazing how we can change weather patterns."
With little golf being played three delays in two days have cost about six hours of play there haven't been many reasons to change the leaderboard.
In-Bee Park one of just 25 of 156 players to finish the second round shot a 73 Friday after bogeying two of her final four holes, and was at even-par 142, one shot ahead of Kris Tamulis, who shot 71.

I started using cloth because I wanted to limit the number of chemicals that my daughter was being exposed to, but once I started I realized how much cheaper it is, how much better for the environment, and for our family. I also met the most amazing support group in our local Diaper Circle that has literally changed my life. I am so very thankful that we started using cloth diapers, I only wish I had done it sooner.
I chose cloth for several reasons, financial, composition and appearance. After looking through the numbers on what I could save, the choice was that much easier to make. I also was terrified reading about all the chemicals that are used in sposies. It didn't even cross my mind to look into organic sposies, and I began my cloth journey. After I started looking into specific diapers I began finding all of the adorable options, and my vain side has come out, I love the way my son's fluffy cloth diapered bum looks. The best decision was to use cloth, now it's normal and I can't imagine anything else!
I chose cloth, as it is better on the environment, better for my child and better on my pocket book.
I was first introduced to cloth when I went to a educational class at my local cloth diaper circle group. It was a lot of fun and informative and since then I have taken the steps to cloth diaper my own children. I cloth diaper because it is inexpensive compared to have to buy disposables every week. They are a lot more fun and I love showing my friends and family the cloth diapers that I use. Now that I have enjoyed cloth diapering my little ones I plan to start a group in Fairbanks Alaska to help others because there currently is no organization here.
Because they are better for the world, better for my baby, easy, fun, and less expensive than disposables.
I was originally attracted to the cute prints and was very excited to learn about the health and environmental benefits of reusable cloth diapers as well. It is inline with our family's values of living green and as natural as possible.
I have been a long time advocate of cloth, having owned a cloth diaper diaper store in the past.
I choose cloth because it is better for baby and cost effective (unless you get a severe case of "can't get enough fluff").
Ecology. Native American Traditions state we are responsible for the earth and all creatures here unto the seventh generation. I need to help keep the earth alive for the seventh generation.
I chose cloth because of the money factor at first. Then I researched it even more and loved the fact that its eco friendly and fun! I love not going to the store to buy sposies all the time..
My husband and I have always been concerned about making lifestyle choices that are best for the environment, so when we were expecting our first baby we knew we would use cloth diapers. Once we got started using cloth we also realized how much better it is for babies' skin too. We started our store when our son was 14 months old because we realized there was a demand locally for cloth diapers and other natural parenting products. We had gone to stores in other cities and also researched a lot online when we were first expecting, so we knew first hand how much easier it is to see the diapers in person and talk to someone who can help with them. Helping other parents with natural choices is my favorite thing about being in this business. We have now been cloth diapering our own kids non-stop over the last four years, and for about a year we had two in cloth.

A randomised controlled trial of fish oil given intravenously to patients in intensive care has found that it improves gas exchange, reduces inflammatory chemicals and results in a shorter length of hospital stay. Researchers writing in BioMed Central's open access journal Critical Care investigated the effects of including fish oil in the normal nutrient solution for patients with sepsis, finding a significant series of benefits.
Philip Calder, from the University of Southampton, UK, worked with a team of researchers to carry out the study in 23 patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome or sepsis in the Hospital Padre Américo, Portugal. He said, "Recently there has been increased interest in the fat and oil component of vein-delivered nutrition, with the realization that it not only supplies energy and essential building blocks, but may also provide bioactive fatty acids. Traditional solutions use soybean oil, which does not contain the omega-3 fatty acids contained in fish oil that act to reduce inflammatory responses. In fact, soybean oil is rich in omega-6 acids that may actually promote inflammation in an excessive or unbalanced supply".
Calder and his colleagues found that the 13 patients in the fish oil group had lower levels of inflammatory agents in their blood, were able to achieve better lung function and left hospital earlier than the 10 patients who received traditional nutrition. According to Calder, "This is the first study of this particular fish oil solution in septic patients in the ICU. The positive results are important since they indicate that the use of such an emulsion in this group of patients will improve clinical outcomes, in comparison with the standard mix".

The Port Washington Chamber of Commerce has announced plans for the town's 1st annual SOUPer Bowl to be held on Saturday, Feb. 2, from noon to 3 p.m. By no coincidence, the date is the Saturday before Super Bowl Sunday. The event will take place at the Port Washington Senior Citizens Center at 80 Manorhaven Boulevard.
Port's wonderful local restaurants have been invited to donate their best soups for the contest and to vie for the chance to be voted Port Washington's 2008 SOUPer Bowl Champ.
The public is invited to "Buy A Spoon" and become tasters. Upon paying the admission fee, each person is given a spoon, a hand stamp and a ballot. The hand stamp allows them to receive cups with at least 2 ounces of each of the soups donated by the restaurants. The tasters then vote for their favorite soup, and when all the ballots are tallied, the 2008 SOUPer Bowl Champ is determined. The winner will receive the "People's Choice Award." There will also be a select Judges' Panel. The winner as determined by a vote of the panel is given the prestigious "Judges' Choice Award." The participating restaurants also provide bread and crackers free to the tasters.
While the tasters are sampling the best soups in Port Washington, they can enjoy viewing an art exhibit by members of the Senior Citizens Center and organized by The Art Guild. To add to the fun of the event, there will be a raffle of sports memorabilia and items.
To become a taster and get a chance to vote for the 2008 SOUPer Bowl Champ, just pay a $7 "touchdown" fee for adults and a $3 "field goal" fee for children under 12. There is plenty of free parking. For more information, call the PW Chamber of Commerce at 883-6566.

Everyone's talking about... Jennifer Aniston breaking her silence on Angelina in Vogue, Dec '08 issue
From our U.S. style blog, ShinyStyle...
It seems as though Anna Wintour hasn't done herself any favours by recruiting Jennifer Aniston for U.S. Vogue's December '08 issue - that is, if you ask Vogue's loyal readers. Ask the tabloid crowd, however, and they are likely overjoyed that Aniston has made the cover. Why? Because the actress has also finally broken her silence on Angelina Jolie on stealing her former hubby, Brad Pitt. In what has been described as an 'US Weekly move', Aniston opened up inside the style bible, referring to Angelina's behaviour as "uncool."
To chime in on whether you think Vogue should have resorted to such gossipy fare, answer our poll here.
To find out what other juicy stuff Jen said, read on...
What Jennifer is really talking about are those comments that Angelina made in the New York Times, in which she spoke of falling for Brad on the set of their film Mr & Mrs Smith.
"I felt those details were a little inappropriate to discuss," Aniston, tells Vogue's Jonathan Van Meter. "That stuff about how she couldn't wait to get to work every day? That was really uncool."
In the interview, Jennifer doesn't hold back on several fronts, including her views on being considered unlucky in love, her divorce, and her on-again-off-again relationship with John Mayer.
On her reputation as being unlucky in love... "There is more to me than just a tabloid girl. This whole 'Poor lonely Jen' thing, this idea that I'm so unlucky in love? I actually feel I've been unbelievably lucky in love. I don't feel like I'm supposed to be any further along or somewhere that I'm not. I'm right where I'm supposed to be."
On Sex and the City... "I never liked Sex and the City, the kind of thing where women only feel empowered once they find the Man. It is just not up my alley. I don't believe in it. There is nothing you can control about love."
On her divorce from Brad... "I've got to tell you, it's so vague at this point, it's so faraway in my mind, I can't even remember the darkness. I mean, in the end, we really had an amicable split. And pretty soon after we separated, we got on the phone and we had a long, long conversation with each other and said a lot of things, and ever since we've been unbelievably warm and respectful of each other."
On her romance with John Mayer... "People need to mind their own business! Did you ever think Claudia Schiffer and David Copperfield made sense? Love just shows up."
On Mayer bragging to the press about dumping her... "Trust me, you'll never see that happen again from that man."

Taylor Swift reached deep into her pockets to help raise money for Nashville flood victims.
The country star, 20, donated $500,000 to flood relief, calling into a star-studded telethon Thursday on a local NBC affiliate station that raised more than $1.7 million.
"It was the craziest thing that I've ever seen," Swift said on the telethon. "I was at my house in Hendersonville, we were staring out the window, thinking it didn't seem like rain. It just seemed like something in a movie. It was really emotional for me because those are the streets I learned to drive on. People's houses are just ruined. It was so heartbreaking to see that in my town, the place that I call home, and the place that I feel most safe. I just send my love to my friends and neighbors who got hit harder than I did."
Swift wasn't the only star to lend their support (and voice) to the event. Vince Gill hosted the telethon, and Keith Urban, Alison Krauss and Darius Rucker performed, worked the phones and pitched in their own donations, too.

New Title Sponsor for the Phonak Cycling Team
iShares comes on as main sponsor in 2007 -2009
What has been in the making for quite some time has now become a fact:
Todays Presenting Sponsor iShares will become the Title Sponsor of the current
Phonak Cycling Team from 2007 onwards. ARcycling AG, licensee and operator of
the only Swiss ProTour team, has signed a three-year contract (2007 2009) with
Barclays Global Investors N.A., iShares' parent company headquartered in San
Francisco. As a result, "iShares" will become the new team name at the start of
2007. The parties have agreed not to name the amount of the new title sponsor's
financial commitment.
"With iShares we have a new title sponsor who is exactly in line with what we
had in mind. We wanted a partner who is a global player, enthusiastic about
cycling and the opportunities the sport offers to leverage its brand in a
variety of ways, says ARcycling AG founder and team owner Andy Rihs.
Speaking for his part, Lee Kranefuss, iShares CEO, said, "I'm extremely pleased
for the iShares brand to be associated with such a well-regarded and well-organised
ProTour team. For iShares this sponsorship represents an excellent opportunity
to further expand the visibility of our brand across Europe, which is a market
of strategic importance to us."
BMC's cooperation also extended
A partner from the very beginning, BMC will also be standing
alongside the team in future. "We also want to be part of the team with the new
title sponsor," says Andy Kessler, CEO of BMC which, in addition to being the
team's outfitter, is one of the leading Swiss companies in high-tech bikes.
"Thanks to pro cycling, BMC has made enormous progress in the last few years.
And I'm sure that the company will continue to strengthen its technological
leadership and international presence in the coming years and thus maintain its
rapid growth rate. In return, the team has the assurance that with BMC it has
the best material," Kessler adds.
iShares is the brand name for the world's largest ranges of exchange traded
funds (ETFs), which is marketed and managed by Barclays Global Investors (BGI).
BGI is one of the worlds largest investment managers with over USD 1.6 trillion
of assets under management (as at 31 March 2006) BGI pioneered index funds more
than thirty years ago and therefore brings unrivalled expertise to the
management of the assets of iShares ETFs. iShares manage over 158 funds listed
globally, totalling over USD 231.7 billion. iShares funds are available to
institutional and private investors. ETFs are index funds that are bought and
sold like ordinary shares on a stock exchange and are a tool to gain diversified
exposure to a market.

This island is beautiful in my kitchen. Not only does it look beautiful, it also provides additional work space and storage. I couldn't be more pleased. PS. I put this island together by myself, except for the top which was too heavy for me to lift.
I have gotten a lot of compliments on this piece and it is a very nice addition to my kitchen (I have a black refrigerator and stove as well). you need at least 2 people to assemble it. the instructions are fairly easy to follow. there was one drawer glide busted off a drawer; I ended up just fastening the glide with some more screws and I think it will be OK if the wood doesn't bust again.
It was real easy to put together and it looks great in the kitchen.

Lara Pulver talks Doctor Who
There's already been a few rumours of Sherlock's Benedict Cumberbatch appearing in Doctor Who. Now Lara Pulver, who guest starred in the shows second series as Irene Adler, was asked whether she might be interested in appearing in future.
"He may be calling me right now," she joked when posed the question by Assignment X.
"We haven't spoken about Doctor Who at all. I think they are very separate entities for Steven, and I think he puts on very different hats, but I love working with him, and if we found another project to work together on whether it is Doctor Who or another season of Sherlock, then I'm sure we'd want to work together again."
So there you have it.

Call unto me and I will answer thee and shew thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not. Jeremiah 33:3
So, my little heart was acting like Jonah and running away from the Lord. It was a miserable place to be in. Thankfully, the Lord didn't send a big fish after me.. He sent a preacher...
Sunday morning came around and I was delighted to learn that our old Youth Pastor would be preaching in the service. I eagerly awaited his message until he said the title "Don't waste your life"... ooh ouch. The Scripture he read was Acts 8:26-40~~~ You know the story of PHILIP and the ETHIOPIAN eunuch. I stifled the urge to tell the other 1499 people there that they could go home because obviously this message was for me! ;o) The Preacher began to preach and every verse, every illustration, every point was chisleing away at my heart. By the end of service I asked God to forgive me and told Him I would trust Him. You see it wasnt' that I didn't want another child.. I was afraid of the pain and the loss. God was asking me to trust Him.
I may never understand on this earth why our first children never came home to us. It is a wound in my heart.. it doesn't make sense to me.. but what I do know is that our God is a GOOD God. He loves those precious children and He loves me. He is the one who was with me through every step and he caught every tear I cried. He is faithful!
We once again began the paperchase..It went really well and really fast. Shortly after our Dossier went to Ethiopia we had a referral! Oh, a beautiful 8 month old boy.. Our Philip...
We waited for our court date and dreamed of the day our baby boy would be coming home. One day we received a group e-mail from Merrily at AAI about a little boy who had been waiting a long time for a family (15 months). He had been struggling for some time with a bad case of Molluscum. He was also adamnatly opposed to having his picture made. I believe Merrily described him as a wiggly and bumpy boy.
I couldn't get this little guy off of my mind as I went about my day. I prayed for him and that he would find a loving family. After a couple of hours I could take no more and decided to ask my dh what he would think if we adopted him. Our Homestudy approved us for two children.. I called him and held my breath for his response and knew it was from the Lord when he said, "You're not going to believe this but I was JUST thinking we really should adopt two children instead of one." I called Merrily and told her that we love wiggly bumpy little boys.. She laughed and said "Well, he sure is that!" She said we would be able to adopt him but we had to decide ASAP as our case was due to be filed in court any day. They faxed medical reports and e-mailed pics, but in our hearts it was already done.. we had another son..

Tennessee Temple University President Danny Lovett said he was planning to transition into a full-time pastor position at Highland Parks Baptist Church, but a plagiarism concern brought forward to the board by some students speeded up the process.
"Even if it wasn't for this, I promise you we were already talking about making the transition this year," he said in a phone interview from Belgium, where he's attending a pastor conference.
The plagiarism incident comes from Lovett's first book, "Jesus is Awesome," written in 1998.
Lovett said author Buddy Murphrey contacted him two years ago saying someone had brought to his attention that parts of his book had been plagiarized.
The men reached an agreement, but Lovett wouldn't discuss the amount.
He said it was a mistake he corrected, but he didn't notify the board when it happened.
D. Jim O'Neill, executive vice president at Tennessee Temple University, will become the interim president on July 1.
Lovett is expected to return to Chattanooga next week.

So this guy plagiarized from another book and now he is going to be a pastor at one of the biggest churches in Chattanooga? This is exactly why Chatt town has sunk so far. When even the supposedly God-fearing leaders are criminals how can we ever expect better from the rest of the community?

he Nonprofit, Rebuilding Acadiana Together, is hoping to rebuild Lafayette one home at a time. Volunteers spent their day at 731 Arthur St. in Lafayette repairing an ageing home.
Jodee Ware, the executive director of Rebuilding Acadiana Together, said the homeowner
"was saying that no one ever comes and helps her so she was glad to have the assistance."
Volunteers say the owner of the home they worked on this weekend is elderly and can no longer give the house the attention it needs, so that's where they step in. They make sure each home is safe by repairing roofs, windows and floors.
Keren Cowen, a volunteer, said "There comes a time in your life, when maybe you can't climb a ladder or do house repairs, so that's what we are here for."
Volunteers don't just focus on house repairs; they aim to make the house more accessible for homeowners, doing things like widening door ways and installing wheelchair ramps.
Ware said, "If our ageing population can stay in their homes and live out the rest of their lives without having to go into assisted living or nursing homes, it's better for them and for the community."
Keren Cowen has been a real estate agent for 32 years and realizes the importance of preserving homes in the community.
Cowen says the elderly homeowners need help "because they can't take care of it anymore, so we are here to pick up the slack, and make sure that they can stay safe and warm and dry."
She said the most rewarding part of volunteering comes at the end of the day.
"It's so good to see how much they appreciate what we do for them and they do," Cowen said.

Three Things to Know About Overseas Book Printing
Whether you're an author looking to publish your first book or simply seeking book printing on a budget, then you've probably begun to explore the world of overseas book printing. It's no secret that printing in China can save you as much as 40% on the cost of your project, depending on the size and complexity of the project.
That said, you need to do thorough research and make sure you select a reputable printer with the pressroom know-how and communication skills to ensure accuracy and quality. Below are three things to be aware of if you are thinking of having your book printed in Asia:
Be Wary of File Passers: When you begin your search for an offshore book printer, make sure you select a company who is planning to manage your job through every step of the process, and not just take your file and 'pass it along.' A lot of U.S. based companies who outsource are basically salesmen who scour the web for cheap book printing, mark it up, and then re-sell it.
Ask the Right Questions: If you've found a manufacturer who seems solid and has references that check out, you still want to ask them the following questions: Is the equipment they are using state-of-the-art? How is the equipment maintained? How about the staff – are they properly trained on best and current practices for book printing? What types of materials are used? Basically, you want to make sure your chosen printer isn't sacrificing quality and cutting corners just to turn the job around quicker.
If It's Too Good To Be True, It Probably Is: The adage "you get what you pay for" holds true with overseas book printing. Anyone can guarantee you the lowest rate if they are using inferior equipment or inexperienced workers. The price might be right, but the quality won't be. What is accepted overseas as quality can be different than the standards of the Western world. Make sure you are selecting a printer with high quality control standards, excellent communication skills, superior equipment, and knowledgeable staff.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A kind of scan called an MRI is much better for diagnosing stroke than a CT scan, the American Academy of Neurology said in new guidelines released on Monday.
Magnetic resonance imaging or MRI detected strokes 83 percent of the time, compared to just 26 percent for computed tomography or CT scans, the group advised.
"While CT scans are currently the standard test used to diagnose stroke, the Academy's guideline found that MRI scans are better at detecting ischemic stroke damage compared to CT scans," Dr. Peter Schellinger of the Johannes Wesling Clinical Center in Minden, Germany, who led the team writing the new guidelines, said in a statement.
CT scans are a specialized series of X-rays; MRI uses magnets and radio waves and both use computer programs to arrange the data into an image.
"Specific types of MRI scans can help reveal how severe some types of stroke are. These scans also may help find lesions early," Schellinger said. "This is important because the research suggests finding lesions early may lead to better health outcomes."
Most strokes are ischemic strokes, caused by a blood clot in the brain, and patients do far better when treated within about three hours. Hemorrhagic strokes are caused by bleeding in the brain and require completely different treatment.
Symptoms of a stroke can be subtle and can include sudden numbness or weakness of the face or a limb, sudden confusion, trouble speaking or walking or a sudden headache.
Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States, after heart disease and cancer.
The American Academy of Neurology is an international association of more than 22,000 neurologists and neuroscience professionals.
