Nonsmokers and former smokers (including those who quit more than a month prior to surgery) suffer from fewer physical limitations, less angina (crushing chest pain), and have a higher quality of life than smokers following coronary angioplasty, concludes a study supported in part by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (HS11282). The impact of not smoking on postoperative angina frequency was powerful, similar to that seen for the impact of coronary angioplasty itself on frequency of angina.
Researchers from the Mid America Heart Institute, St. Luke's Hospital, and the University of Missouri prospectively studied a group of 271 coronary angioplasty patients at a high-volume coronary treatment center. They assessed the patients' health with the Short Form-12 (SF-12) measure of physical and mental functioning and the 19-item Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) at baseline and at 6 and 12 months after surgery. Patients who were current smokers had poorer health status outcomes than other patients after angioplasty.
At 1 year after surgery, people who had never smoked and ex-smokers still scored significantly higher than current smokers in the physical component of the SF-12, indicating a better general physical quality of life (42.7 and 41.2 vs. 30.4). There was little impact of smoking on the SF-36 mental component scores at 6 or 12 months. Based on SAQ scores, 6 months after the procedures, smokers had significantly more physical limitations, more frequent angina, and poorer quality of life than nonsmokers and ex-smokers. Smoking status was unrelated to mortality rate during the year after coronary angioplasty. The researchers conclude that cardiologists should aggressively promote a tobacco-free lifestyle in their patients and advise patients to quit smoking before cardiac revascularization surgery.

text: I'm relatively paranoid about data security (I run my own mail server, web server, cloud services, groupware, etc). I currently have an iPhone and am on the verge of buying a Samsung Galaxy S4 in the next couple of days. To be honest, the only thing that gives me pause is that the more I read about Android, the more data I hear about going to Google. Most of it I don't care about, but I do care about the privacy of my contact information, and to a lesser extent, my calendar data. As a Software Engineer that's worked in Big Data as well as credit card transaction processing, I know what companies like Google can (and do) do by correlating that data with other data, so this isn't an unfounded fear. I also feel that it's not my place to give other people's contact information to Google. I'm trying to become more comfortable with the concept, but I'm definitely not there yet. Are there reasonable precautions I can take? I know I can turn off syncing with GMail before I add any contacts, and that will help. Is there anything else I can do? Are there apps that I should seek replacements for and avoid? Are there other settings I should look for?

Winter 2011 Magazine
Casa Canine
And Then There Were Two...
On August 27, the dog days of summer took on a new meaning for our family as we prepared to adopt Etta, a seven year old retired racing greyhound. Excitement abounded, at least for the human members of our family as we readied the car to bring her home. Gus, our ten-year-old corgi/terrier mix, had met Etta the week before on a visit to the greyhound rescue. During their meeting, Gus and Etta got along well - well enough that we decided to adopt her. Now that her spay and dental procedures were complete, we were finally able to bring her home.
Gus was unaware that Etta was joining our family this particular day, yet he must have suspected that something was afoot. We had put up a crate in our office and there was a new, elevated feeding stand in the kitchen. To minimize the stress of the car ride for Etta, we decided not to take Gus with us to pick her up. As we left, I gave Gus a big hug and reassured him that he was well loved. We had planned for this day as best as is humanly and canine-ly possible (see The One and Only for Part 1 of the story). The real challenge would come once Etta arrived home.
Two concerns lingered. Although the dogs had gotten along well at the rescue, we were unsure how welcoming Gus would be toward Etta once she was actually here. After being the one and only dog in the family for almost two years, Gus is used to being the alpha. When he met Etta at the greyhound rescue, she seemed comfortable with him as the boss. But would that change once she was comfortably ensconced in our home? Would she challenge Gus's alpha status, and fight over priorities like attention, food and beds?
The second concern was about Etta's adjustment to life in a house with a family. For all of her adult life, she lived in a crate at a racing kennel. Could she adjust to life outside the crate? For each dog, the adjustment is different. We had never adopted a dog with such a lengthy crate history. Would she cling to her crate for security or would she enjoy the freedom to move about at will? We were hopeful that she would adapt to her new life without too much stress. Our plan was to be patient and let her take the time she needed to learn that she could move freely about the house and that we humans were there to love and care for her. We also hoped that she and Gus would become great companions. That part would be up to the two of them.
At the greyhound rescue, Etta hopped into the car with just a little help. During the drive home she looked out the windows, poked her head into the front seat for a few pats, settled down and then popped up every time we stopped. She was calm - just curious about everything.
Pulling into our driveway, we could already hear Gus making his "I'm glad you're back" bark. We took Gus into the backyard on a leash and brought Etta into the yard on her leash. The dogs greeted each other with a sniff fest - nose to nose, nose to bum, nose to stomachs, heads and ears. We walked Etta around the yard so she could learn the lay of the land. When both dogs were calm and had lost interest in each other, we released Gus first from his leash, then Etta from hers. We repeated the procedure in the house, showing Etta the different rooms, where the food and water bowls were, and the crate. At this point, I began to keep a journal of Gus's adjustment to Etta, and Etta's adjustment to everything.
Aug. 27 - Etta is home. She is so curious! She was fascinated by her reflection in the full-length mirror and she watches TV. She loves looking out of all of the windows. She didn't eat much, just a couple of bites of kibble. She and Gus are doing okay so far by mostly ignoring each other. She loves her new crate and bed, and has been going in and out. She is a little skittish on the hardwood floors so we've been scurrying around getting runners to fill bare spots.
Aug. 28 - Etta loves the crate. She slept well and was a happy, tail-wagging girl to see me this morning. I fed her a half serving of food to gradually get her used to a breakfast as well as a dinner feeding. She ate it all. She and Gus are doing well. He thinks she's hot. She isn't much interested in him, but tolerates his sniffing. And is she ever affectionate! She loves her scratchies - to the head, the ears, belly - she doesn't care as long as I am petting her.
Aug. 30 - Etta seems to think the crate is the place to be. While I was working on the computer, I closed the door to the crate so she couldn't go in. She stayed right beside me on the office rug but was a bit anxious with the crate closed so I reopened the door. Will keep the door to the crate open for now. Sometimes she's half in, half out. But mostly she is in. The few times she hasn't been in the crate, she likes to stretch out on the rugs - just not for too long. I hope she decides that she likes living in a house.
Aug. 31 Etta is settling in. It's sweet and sad at the same time. Living in a crate in a kennel for all of her life has had an effect on her sense of security. The first two days here, she stayed in her crate, even with the door open - her choice. She's had no way of knowing that a home is a safe and loving place. But today she spent time sleeping on the rug in the living room, and outside with our grandchildren whom she adores. At first she didn't like the grass. But now she loves to sleep on the grass under the trees in the back yard.
She does get spooked by sudden movements and unfamiliar noises. She's smart and curious and we see progress every day. What a love she is, and how fortunate for all that she is now part of our family. As for Gus, he still thinks she's hot, and she is only mildly interested in him at this point.
Sept 3 - It'a been a week and Etta has made a lot of progress. She's a real sweetheart, loves all of us and is quite outgoing. She's fine with Gus. They don't interact too much, but Etta does seem to like to go out when he does. Maybe it gives her confidence. She has already learned to go to the back door to be let out when she has to relieve herself. She's hardly ever in the crate during the day now. Prefers the rugs. She's eating well. And she goes into her crate easily if we have to go out or for night time sleep. She's a gem. It feels so right to have a greyhound again.
Sept 4 - Gus and Etta had their first play interaction today. They were in the back yard. I was watching from the kitchen when a crow flew by close to the ground. Gus took off at a run after it. When Etta saw him, she took off after Gus. I held my breath, as this was the first time she has seen Gus run like that. It would be a test of her prey drive and I feared she might see Gus as prey. But all she did was join Gus in chasing the crow. Then she initiated a few play bows and Gus responded! They did a little running around in circles and that was that. Gus hasn't done anything like that for years. Etta is Gus's Fountain of Youth.
Sept 13 - Things between the two dogs are going well but we still have a few issues. Since the two have been getting along, I brought out a couple toys today. Etta was so thrilled that she couldn't choose, and tried to play with both at the same time. Gus does not like toys, never has, yet he attempted to take one away from her. It was sitting beside her and she reached out after he took it and grabbed it back. Nothing aggressive, but she made her point. He continues to monitor her feeding station. He covets her food. When I am not right there he will attempt to drive her away. The funny part is that he can't actually reach her food dish, which is in an elevated feeder. The dominance issue definitely isn't settled.
Sept 21 - Etta and Gus like to go out together but do not interact much in the house - other than they both clamor for affection at the same time - a bit of jealousy on both parts.
Sept 23 - This is the first day Etta has stayed out of the crate ALL day. Eureka!
Oct 8 - Gus never played with toys. He'd chew on a rawhide strip but he just wasn't interested in balls or squeaky plush toys or tug ropes. Since Etta started playing with toys, Gus has started playing, too. He especially likes the tug ropes and plush toys. Today Gus and Etta were playing with toys near each other in the living room. Gus had a white plush squeaky toy. Etta had a fuzzy blue ball. After a bit, they both dropped their toys and took each other's. Guess you could say they play well with others.
Oct. 13 - While I was doing the dishes I noticed Gus and Etta out in the back yard. Gus was initiating play with a play bow. This is the first for him. Etta bowed back. A few yips, some circling then a race around the perimeter fence. Etta won but Gus gave it a good try. Awesome.
Nov. 3 - Etta took a major step today. She slept with us in our bedroom all night! She is not so interested in being in her crate any more.
Nov. 4 - I needed to go to the supermarket this morning. When I tried to put Etta in her crate, she balked. Since she did so well during the night, I decided to allow her to have the run of the house while I went out. When I returned Gus and Etta greeted me at the door. Everything in the house was in order. This is a big turning point for her.
My journal entries about the dogs have waned since November. Gus and Etta have settled into an easy routine. The dogs are forging a comfortable bond. They are usually found in proximity to one another. They play in the yard and also, now, in the house where it's gentle and short-lived, usually followed by gnawing on chew toys or naps. Gus no longer tries to keep Etta from her food. Etta respects Gus's alpha status, standing back as he goes through the door to the yard first or takes his treats first. Gus has certainly been rejuvenated by Etta's presence in our family. He's playing with toys and engages in games of chase with Etta- amazing! Etta seems to gain confidence from Gus. A bit of good-natured jealousy still exists between Gus and Etta, and probably always will. If Etta comes to me for a pat, Gus is there in a jiffy. And visa versa. We humans have become efficient at patting two dogs at once, a solution agreeable to all.
For a seven-year-old dog who lived most of her life in a crate, Etta's adjustment has been remarkable. She moves freely about the house, and is never locked in her crate. She still uses the crate to sleep on occasion - always with the door open. But most of the time, she is wherever we are. Etta's ability to adapt to a new home and family is encouraging to anyone considering adopting an older dog. The key to the planning and care we took to make this adoption work was simple - listen to the dogs. They let you know in their own ways how they feel. If you respect their needs, you are more likely to have success in adopting a second dog into your family.
Thanksgiving came just three months after Etta's arrival. For most of our relatives and friends it was their first meeting with Etta. My journal entry sums it up:
Nov. 25 - Etta was the perfect hostess, greeting people as they arrived and leaning gently into folks for pats. Everyone adored her. As we gathered for dinner, Gus situated himself beneath the chairs of the children in the family, anticipating scraps of falling food. Etta was the social butterfly, visiting everyone at the table but not being a pest or begging for tidbits. You would have thought she had lived with us forever.

PHOENIX — Monday was a good day to be Sean Doolittle.
The left-handed A's reliever came in having been pain-free for three days in the wake of suffering a right calf strain last week. Then he went on the mound and threw as if he'd never missed any time at all.
He showed good velocity, if not pin-point command.
"I felt really good," Doolittle said. "It was important to test it, but I didn't think it was any big deal. I tweaked it on Tuesday and by Wednesday night I wasn't feeling any pain."
The thing is, Doolittle is actually ahead of schedule, at least based on his 2013 spring when he was held out of competition
Not only was he coming off a good, long rookie year last spring, but he was still raw as a pitcher, having only just made the switch from hitting to pitching.
"Last year I was coming off my first year of pitching," Doolittle said. "Combined in the major and minor leagues I'd thrown over 70 innings. Now having some more experience, my body has responded better.
"I can now get thrown in with some of the other guys and just get ready and be lie one of the normal guys."
Manager Bob Melvin and pitching coach Curt Young held Doolittle out of early work at this time last year, so the way the pitcher sees it, he's ahead of the game.
"I guess I'm a coup of days behind, but I was like a week behind last year," he said. "This way we can take our time and I can get integrated into the group. I like this a little bit better."

Durban - Durban billionaire socialite couple S'bu and Shauwn Mpisane pulled out all the stops at on Friday's beach party in support of the ANC.
The party at New Beach was star-studded, with the crème de le crème of entertainers.
Top musicians, including DJ Black Coffee, Big Nuz and Lvovo performed. Other personalities included the cast from the soapie, Isibaya.
Jacob Zuma's son Edward and nephew Khulubuse sat and mingled with KwaZulu-Natal politicians in the VIP marquee.
ANC provincial chairman, Senzo Mchunu, and national executive member and former police commissioner Bheki Cele, a close friend of the Mpisanes, were expected to address the crowd.
In the afternoon about 500 people, some wearing ANC T-shirts and other regalia danced as they thanked the Mpisanes for throwing the party, which has been billed as the election campaign party in KZN.
The festival slogan was "I'm young, smart and I vote ANC".
By 9pm last night, the crowd had swelled with thousands of revellers making their way to the free bash. Metro, SAPS and officers in army uniform had their hands full trying to blockade the VIP entrance and keep the crowd at bay.
Opposition parties have reacted to angrily to the party.
The DA's Zwakele Mncwango said the Mpisane-ANC party came as no surprise as the couple were "politically connected" and "channelled money back to the ANC".
He said the DA would write to the public protector, calling for a probe of all contracts given to the Mpisanes and the award processes.

SHIPPENSBURG — Kaitlyn Toman had one last chance to clear 11 feet or she was out of the Class 2A pole vault competition.
It was cold. It was rainy. It was windy. It was early Friday morning at the PIAA Track & Field Championships.
SHIPPENSBURG — Kaitlyn Toman had one last chance to clear 11 feet or she was out of the Class 2A pole vault competition.
It was cold. It was rainy. It was windy. It was early Friday morning at the PIAA Track & Field Championships.
But the Salisbury sophomore didn't want her breakout season to end and her offseason dedication to the sport to go to waste.
She cleared 11 feet to secure a fifth-place medal in her first state competition.
"I knew this was my last meet this year," she said. "I just didn't want it to end six inches shy of my personal best. I wanted to keep jumping."
Even though she missed the next three times at 11 feet, 6 inches, Toman was happy she pushed herself instead of packing it in.
Palisades' Alexa Rossi (10-0) earned an eighth-place medal in the same event.
Liberty's Gracie Hargrove was another who was in position to call it a season (and, in her case, a high school career) in the same conditions during the 3A shot put event on the tightly-packed perimeter of Shippensburg University's Seth Grove Stadium.
The senior, 14th and 17th in her two previous trips to states in this event, fouled on her first two attempts during the preliminary round.
She faced a do-or-go-home situation on her next throw. She wasn't frightened and she didn't quit.
Hargrove registered a throw of 38 feet, 9 inches to advance to the finals.
On her first throw in the final round, she broke a 32-year-old school record with a toss of 41.4.5.
She said the weather and pressure of the event weren't factors in her early miscues.
"I scared my coach," she said with a big smile. "I was hitting my toe on the board. I was exploding too much and wasn't quick enough with my left foot."
Hargrove broke the 1981 Liberty mark of Diana Wruble (41-1), something that had been on her mind since the start of the season.
"That was my main goal," the Johns Hopkins-bound senior said. "Getting a medal was an added blessing."
Lehighton's Gwen Remaley (37-7.25) was 10th and Kutztown freshman Jocelen Ruth (37-5) 11th in the event.
Other locals who competed in finals on what was one of the coldest days of the past three decades at the state meet were:
3A high jump — Liberty's Casey Harewood (5-2), T-10th; Palmerton's Lauryn Solt (5-0), T-14th; Pocono Mountain West's Naomi Jiminez (5-0), T-14th;
2A long jump — Tamaqua's Maria Streisel (16-5.25), T-11th; Salisbury's Lindsay Bauer (15-8.5), T-18th;
3A javelin — Bangor's Jasmine Vass (114-2), 16th; Pennridge's Ella Fox (113-2), 17th; Lehighton's Sarah Keer (103-9), 21st;
2A discus — North Schuylkill's Carter Green (133-0), 2nd; Notre Dame's Mary Paige Nesfeder (109-7), 13th;
3A long jump — Pennridge's Ariana Przybylowski (17-11.5), 7th; Nazareth's Kaitlyn Remely (17-0.75), 20th; Easton's Jordan Luciano (16-5.75), 29th;
2A high jump — North Schuylkill's Carly Gregas (5-5), 3rd; Salisbury's Holly Szita (5-2), 9th; Nesfeder (no height);
In the qualifying rounds, Notre Dame's 3,200 relay foursome advanced to today's Class 2A final after running a 9:54.85.
Pocono Mountain's Ramonia Benitez ran a 15.15 to qualify for the 3A 100 hurdles semifinals.
Quakertown's Jody-Ann Evans, a top seed in the 3A 100 and 200, reached the semis in both with times of 11.97 and 25.27, respectively.
East Stroudsburg South's Lauren Channer also qualified in both 3A sprints. Easton's Kiana Farrar advanced in the 200.
Pennridge's Marissa Sheva reached the 3A 1,600 final.
Palisades (2A) and Easton (3A) moved on in the 400 relay. Pennridge was disqualified in 3A for allegedly running out of its lane. That ruling was under protest by Pennridge, which reportedly had visual evidence that it was another team's runner that crossed into its lane.
Emmaus' Hanna Brosky reached the 3A 800 final for the second year in a row after running a 2:18.15.

Neutrogena Deep Moisture Body Cream Reviews
Really SmoothThis goes on smoothly and it does leave your skin soft. However, I don't know if it's me but I had to stop using it at night because my sheets had a build up after a few days. I wanted a product that would give me moisture while I slept; it leaves my body silky but I wouldn't use it at night unless you change your bed sheets every 3 days — 8 years, 8 months agoDhavynia | 4 reviews
A must have for dry, itchy skin!I have tried nearly everything on my dry, itchy skin from OTC creams to prescription ointments. The Rx ointments are fine, but very expensive and often smell bad. Neutrogena Comforting Butter Body Cream is a dream come true! It goes on easy, absorbs quickly, doesn't leave me tacky or greasy, smells great, and keeps the itch away literally all day long! And for around $10 a jar, you can't go wrong!!! Definitely a must have for even the most stubborn dry, itchy skin! — 8 years, 8 months agotmrperry | 22 reviews
Heavenly body cream!!Use this cream from your neck down to your toes...you'll want to as it smells SO good!! Not to mention how it leaves your skin extra-soft. In the Summer I keep my lotions in the fridge so it goes on nice and cool. In the Winter warm it first in your hands before applying. I also love the shower scrub and using both together leave a lovely subtle smell behind. wondeful! — 8 years, 10 months agojackieznyc | 61 reviews

Hands Down...The Butter Body Cream by Neutrogena is hands down my favorite part of everyday. It smells wonderful, feels divine and I am always a little lighter and definitely more relaxed once I've applied it. I refuse to go to bed unless I've smothered myself in it. One of the best beauty products on the market, in my opinion. — 9 years, 4 months agotiki379 | 1 reviews
A must try product for shea butter addictsI am a shea butter addict and as my bathroom shelves can attest I'll try almost every product that comes along. I always end up returning to The Body Shop products because no other product comes close to their level of quality... till I tried Neutrogena Comforting body butter. This product glides onto your skin,wet or dry,it doesn't leave a heavy, greasy feel on your skin, the fragrance is subtle...read more but invigorating thanks to the citrus.The product really works well on real problem areas, heels, knees, elbows. It's a generous amount of product for the price. — 9 years, 4 months agogeekbabe | 38 reviews

Won Me OverI've never been loyal to a moisturizer until I tried Neutrogena Comforting Butter Body Cream. It makes my skin soft and supple, but not at all greasy.

Lastly, I love that it comes in a jar- I can use every last bit instead of feeling like I'm throwing away 3-4 uses in a pump or tube.

AWESOME body cream!!!I absolutely love this stuff!!! It has a custard-like consistency and goes on soooo smooth that I can't get enough of it!

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
From thousands of feet above Germany, Sgt. Taffe Simon saw the flashes and black smoke and heard loud anti-aircraft explosions all around him as he rode beneath a B-17 Flying Fortress.
From thousands of feet above Germany, Sgt. Taffe Simon saw the flashes and black smoke and heard loud anti-aircraft explosions all around him as he rode beneath a B-17 Flying Fortress.
He had a seat in the ball turret on the underside of the bomber that took America into World War II against the Nazis. Simon was in his early 20s when he took aim at German fighter planes.
He said he had no fear when he first entered the war in 1942.
"You're young and eager. You're not scared," Simon said.
But the big German anti-aircraft guns boomed from below. On missions during daylight hours over railroads, factories and other Nazi targets, he was a target for the enemy on the ground.
"Then I saw the flak. And I was scared."
A north Oklahoma City resident since he was stationed at Tinker Air Force Base in 1946, Simon said he can still recall those first bombing raids as he sat in the gunner's seat in the glass turret. It was his job to try to keep the German fighter planes at bay, swiveling a machine gun as fighters came from all sides.
"Trying to shoot down another airplane in the air is really hard to do," Simon said.
Simon said on his first bombing raids on a B-17, the more experienced crew members prepared him for the hostile skies.
"They told me when you see the flak you're safe. It's when you don't see it that you're done."
One of the legendary aircraft, this one with a special link to another historic B-17, is coming to Oklahoma City. This one was restored and used to portray the Memphis Belle in the 1990 movie of the same name. It will land at Wiley Post Airport and be available for the public to see on the ground or in the air.
Those interested can fly on the plane for $450 each from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and June 15 at the airport, 5915 Phillip J. Rhoads Ave. Tours of the plane will be available as well when it is on the ground.
The B-17 coming to Oklahoma City was one of 13,000 built during World War II. The original Memphis Belle is now at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force near Dayton, Ohio. The replica is one of only nine that are still flying today.
This B-17 never flew on bombing missions; instead it was used for years fighting forest fires in the Pacific Northwest after the war ended, said Scott Maher, spokesman for the nonprofit Liberty Foundation. The plane is on a nationwide tour to celebrate the 71st anniversary of the last bombing mission of the real Memphis Belle. It was restored by a previous owner before it was used in the movie and is making 50 stops this year in cities throughout the country, Maher said.
Simon served in the 8th Air Force's 445th Bomb Group and 700th Bomb Squadron. He later was assigned as a tail gunner on a newer bomber, the B-24 Liberator, with the turret in the rear, a better place to fire at enemy fighter planes, he said. He flew 30 missions on the B-24.
Simon's wife, Ingrid, is the former owner of Ingrid's Kitchen, a popular Oklahoma City German restaurant. She escaped from East Germany in 1960.
"He bombed my house," she said, smiling.
She was not really joking.
On March 1, 1943, she was born in an apartment building in Berlin that was partly destroyed when it was hit in an American bombing raid. Taffe was flying on the same mission over a Berlin factory the day she was born.
On March 24, 1945, Simon was on a bomber that was hit by flak over Germany, and the pilot made it to Holland and landed in an area that had just been occupied by British and Canadian troops. With parts from British airplanes, the crew made their own repairs and flew back to safety, he said.
In a room full of war memorabilia in north Oklahoma City, Simon has a small replica of the feared German .88-caliber anti-aircraft gun that hit his plane.
Maher said that as more American World War II veterans die each year, the B-17 that continues to fly today is on a new mission, one to preserve the stories of courage, Maher said.
"The B-17 was the workhorse of World War II," Maher said. "It was our heavy bomber."
The U.S. Army Air Forces lost 5,000 B-17s in World War II combat, he said. The planes usually flew with 10-man crews.
"Our goal is to honor our veterans, preserve aviation history and teach young people the price of freedom," Maher said.

At the beginning of August 1980, the movement which would eventually become Solidarity consisted of a few dozen individuals scattered throughout Poland. Within a year, as its first anniversary posters proudly proclaimed, Solidarity's membership had swelled to "10 million Solid." Ten million highly disciplined, active Polish citizens moving in unison to seek a better life - perhaps the most astonishing flowering of political hope in the world's recent history. Within another six months, however, that hope was being smashed in a stunning, brutal military takeover. Lawrence Weschler's reports for The New Yorker on the spirit and aspirations of the short-lived Polish renewal have been praised as among the most vivid and thoughtful to have yet appeared. This volume consists of an expanded version of these articles, plus a timely epilogue and a detailed and useful chronology of Polish history since 1939 (within the context of simultaneous world history and with particular emphasis on the events of 1980 and 1981). Weschler's account, rife with anecdote, explores the economic, historic, and religious conditions that made Solidarity possible, the individual heroism that made it actual, and the dark political realities that always made it vulnerable. There is also a substantial digression on the troubled conscience of Poland because of its treatment of the Jews. In his epilogue, Weschler considers the future of the ongoing aspirations which Solidarity championed. "We have not yet heard the end of the episode," he insists. Over 50 photographs supplement the text (including exclusive shots of the 1970 Gdansk massacre, smuggled out of Poland), along with a rich sampling of Solidarity poster art. -- from dust jacket.

WITH the burden of his contract dramas lifted, re-invigorated halfback Will Genia has been voted man-of-the-match by his Reds teammates for the three weeks since deciding to stay in Queensland.
As if a weight has literally come off his shoulders, Genia's running game has re-emerged in the last fortnight and has been instrumental in the Reds' late-season surge to the finals.
The 24-year-old ran nine times for 170m last week against the Lions and scored a sizzling long-range try, reminiscent of his match-winning five-pointer in the final against the Crusaders last season.
Genia's underestimated pace and ability to slice through a gap will have the Brumbies on high alert when they meet the Reds tomorrow night in Canberra, and if they are, that'll suit Ewen McKenzie just fine.
The Queensland coach is happy for the Brumbies to focus on stopping Genia's running game, because that could mean they'll ignore his two other threats.
"He has got a brilliant running game, no doubt, and everyone talks about it," McKenzie said.
"But I think it's his variety, to be honest, his pass-kick-run, that makes him potent. I think if you just pass the ball all the time or run all the time you're pretty predictable.
"His potency comes from the fact he's got the ability in all three key skills, and teams aren't quite sure which one he is going to use. It's the variety that makes it potent."
It has only been in his form after the fact that the full impact of Genia's contract negotiations have become apparent. After agreeing to join the Force, and then backflipping when the deal was leaked, Genia appears to have played with freedom.
"I don't know the exact reason but there's no doubt when you have less things to think about that usually you focus more," McKenzie said.
"He has more freedom in his head space, and in the last three weeks he's got our internal man-of-the-match award, so yeah, he's going good.
"At the same time, a lot of experienced Wallabies players from last year have been a bit slower out of the blocks but are finding form. Across a lot of teams, not just ours. As the business end of the season winds up, they're getting a second wind or whatever. It could be a bit of both."
While Jake White named a side yesterday with Nic White and Peter Kimlin back in the run-on team - with Fotu Auelua out of the 22 altogether - McKenzie elected to delay naming his side.
Ever the provocateur, White seized on the Reds' postponement to suggest the Brumbies had the upper hand psychologically: "It's a massive compliment," said White. "There's an Art of War book by Sun Tzu that says if your enemy reacts to you, then you're in a position of strength."

One way of making
your IRC channel easily accessible is to increase the number of ways
people can join it. Creating an HTML hyperlink that points to your
IRC channel is a convenient way of letting people know the server
details and channel name.
To be able to use these links, you must have an IRC client installed
that has chat link support enabled. If you have the
IRC client installed, you can expect to be able to just click on IRC
links to connect to the server and join the specified channel. In
some other clients, such as
mIRC, you will need to enable
support for chat links, as shown in .
IRC links are specified like any other
hyperlink, but with irc as the protocol. Valid IRC
links look like this:
Click to join
Each IRC URL can be broken up into four parts:
The IRC server to connect to.
The port number to connect to. This is optional and must be preceded
by a colon character if you use it. If you do not specify a port
number, the default of 6667 will be used.
When your IRC client connects to the server, it will automatically
join this channel. Note that you must not include the
# character.
If the channel is password protected, you can specify the key. This
is also optional and must be preceded by a question mark character.
If you just want people to be able to
connect to your IRC network in a hurry, you needn't
bother specifying a channel to join:
Connect to my IRC server
If you have a channel on the freenode IRC network (irc.freenode.net)
called #mychan and it has a key of
"password", you could let web users
visit your channel by providing the following link:
Join my private channel
The most typical example you will see in use on the Web would be a
link that points at a public channel, such as:
IRC Hacks Channel
Clicking on this hyperlink will launch your IRC client and join the
#irchacks channel on the freenode IRC network.

Inter, Napoli win league openers
Inter Milan scored two late goals for a 2-0 win over Genoa in manager Walter Mazzarri's debut on the first Sunday of Serie A.
Japan international Yuto Nagatomo headed in from point-blank range in the 75th minute following a deflected cross from Jonathan and Argentina striker Rodrigo Palacio doubled the lead in added time after an excellent setup from Fredy Guarin.
Neither team had an attempt on target until a header from Inter substitute Mauro Icardi was blocked by goalkeeper Mattia Perin in the 53rd.
But Inter was in full control by the end and Icardi hit the crossbar with a header in the 82nd and Andrea Ranocchia had a header tipped wide by Perin a minute later.
Elsewhere Sunday, last season's runner-up Napoli impressed in Rafa Benitez's debut, comfortably beating Bologna 3-0 in its Serie A opener and immediately stating its intent to challenge two-time defending champion Juventus.
After former Real Madrid forward Jose Maria Callejon put Napoli ahead in the 32nd, Marek Hamsik added goals in the 45th and 63rd as fans wondered if this might be the year that their squad breaks the northern grip on the Italian league title.
Northern squads Juventus, AC Milan and Inter have won the last 11 Serie A titles, while Napoli hasn't finished top since Diego Maradona led the southern club to its only two championships in 1987 and 1990.
Perhaps in anticipation of celebrations, Napoli even had American-style cheerleaders inside the San Paolo stadium.
"I expected the squad to do well and we did well but we can do even better,'' said Benitez, who previously coached in Italy at Inter Milan in the first half of the 2010-11 season. "This squad has a lot of quality in attack.''
Also, Lazio bounced back from its 4-0 loss to Juventus in the Super Cup by beating visiting Udinese 2-1 with first-half goals from Hernanes and Antonio Candreva.
Lazio had to play with one end of the Stadio Olimpico closed as punishment for fan racism in the Super Cup. As a response, the Roman club's players wore shirts with a message that read "We love football, we fight racism.''
Lazio's rival Roma had a good start, too, with Daniele De Rossi and Alessandro Florenzi scoring two minutes apart midway through the second half for a 2-0 win at promoted Livorno.
There was a curious moment in the first half, as new Roma coach Rudi Garcia was seen talking on his cell phone as he sat on the bench. He said afterward that he was discussing tactics with an assistant in the tribune, although it could earn him a fine.
Elsewhere, Cagliari beat Atalanta 2-1 in Trieste, where it is playing due to troubles with its stadium; Torino spoiled Sassuolo's Serie A debut with a 2-0 win and Parma was held to a 0-0 draw at home by Chievo Verona despite solid play from newly signed Antonio Cassano.
The first round concludes Monday with Fiorentina facing Catania.
In Naples, the hosts were in control from the start as Callejon hit the post six minutes in then redirected in a rebound of a shot from Hamsik to give Napoli the lead.
Gonzalo Higuain, who has replaced the departed Edinson Cavani at the centre of Napoli's attack, had a goal disallowed for offside in the 40th.
Hamsik doubled the lead in first-half added time, dribbling by the goalkeeper and finding the target with a sharply angled shot.
Higuain again came close in the 51st, sending a free kick around Bologna's wall just wide, and Hamsik capped a classy performance by firing in from the edge of the area after Higuain was denied.
While it didn't come easily, Sunday's result was significant for an Inter squad that finished ninth and had 16 losses last season, its worst effort in 65 years.
"It's a good start but we're only at the beginning. We need to improve a lot of things but we're on the right road,'' Inter midfielder Ricardo Alvarez said.
Mazzarri, who managed Napoli the past four seasons, was hired immediately after Andrea Stramaccioni was let go by Inter at the end of last season.
"We're improving more than I thought,'' Mazzarri said. "We've done a lot in a short amount of time.''
In Rome, Hernanes put Lazio ahead in the 13th with an impressive shot past two defenders from a sharp angle and Antonio Candreva made it 2-0 in the 16th after Miroslav Klose earned a penalty.
Udinese pulled one back on the hour mark when Luis Muriel finished off a counterattack.
It's been a difficult start for Udinese, which was beat 3-1 at home by Czech side Liberec in the first leg of the Europa League playoffs Thursday.
In Livorno, Roma's 36-year-old captain Francesco Totti hit the crossbar with a long shot in the 28th but it wasn't until the 65th that De Rossi broke the deadlock with an effort from long-range to immediately put behind him a season in which he failed to score.
Forenzi doubled Roma's lead by finishing off a counterattack with a sharply angled shot in the 67th.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

9. Yorman Rodriguez, CF
Team: Rookie-level Billings (Pioneer)
Age: 16
Why He's Here: .428/.538/.810 (9-for-21, 2 2B, 2 HR, 5 RBI, 5 BB, 8 Ks).
The Scoop: Rodriguez was one of the most divisive signees from the 2008 Latin American class of 16-year-olds. The Reds saw a five-tool talent with a solid swing, while other scouts worried that he'd never swing the bat well enough for his tools to matter. It's way too early for judgment on who was right, but Rodriguez has more than held his own. The Reds promoted him from the Gulf Coast League to Billings last Friday and he responded by tearing up the league in his first six games. Overall he's now hitting .305/.388/.419 with six steals in six attempts, which is a pretty impressive start for a raw 16-year-old. He has everything at 16 that Dominic Brown had at 18, a scout who saw him recently said, but with more raw power.

A PETITION has been launched to save a town's tip.
Residents and councillors have hit back at the rumoured proposals to shut Dovercourt Recycling Centre, which they say is a popular and vital facility for the town.
Maps leaked to the Standard last week revealed proposals to close a number of Recycling Centres in Essex to save cash.
But drivers trying to use the West End Lane site, which would be merged with Lawford 13 miles away in the plans, over the bank holiday weekend said they were stuck in long queues of more than half an hour, proving its necessity for residents.
Harwich Labour councillors have set up a petition calling for the Dovercourt Tip to be protected.
Maria Fowler, labour councillor for Harwich West Central, where the tip is based, said: "In my opinion it's absolute madness.
"Flytipping will be everywhere, there is already flytipping outside the tip when it's closed."

text: On September 26, Jo Schüftan of Horns Up Rocks! conducted an interview with drummer Tim Yeung of Florida death metallers MORBID ANGEL at B.B. King Blues Club & Grill in New York City. You can now watch the chat below.As previously reported, MORBID ANGEL was denied entry to Canada over the weekend and was unable to play its two scheduled shows there on September 30 (Montreal) and October 1 (Toronto). MORBID ANGEL has just kicked off a month-long North American tour with support from Sweden's DARK FUNERAL and GRAVE. The headlining trek, the band's first in six and half years, runs through October 21 in St. Petersburg, Florida. Said vocalist David Vincent about the group's setlist: "We are playing many songs [on this tour] from 'Altars Of Madness' and 'Covenant'. We have put together a setlist that highlights the diversity of the first four classic MORBID ANGEL albums in a way that celebrates the paradigm shifting creativity that has defined extreme music for decades." MORBID ANGEL recently announced that it will also play a set of "all-time classic songs" on its upcoming European tour with KREATOR, NILE and FUELED BY FIRE, which kicks off on November 1 in Antwerp, Belgium. MORBID ANGEL's latest album, "Illud Divinum Insanus", sold around 3,600 copies in the United States in its first week of release to enter The Billboard 200 chart at position No. 141. The effort marked MORBID ANGEL's first CD to feature bassist/vocalist David Vincent since 1995's "Domination".

Gary Ballance has posted an excellent century against the Leeds/Bradford MCC Universities in a successful bid to underpin a Yorkshire recovery with the bat this afternoon thanks to the help of Ryan Sidebottom.
The in-form left-hander, who recently enjoyed an excellent tour of Australia with the England Lions, has ensured the White Rose recovered from 65-7 this morning to reach tea at Headingley on 211-7 from 75 overs.
Ballance and Sidebottom will resume this evening on 102 and 38 respectively having shared an unbroken 146 for the eighth wicket.
He and Sidebottom have batted since before lunch as the students have tired and the ball has become softer. The visitors will rue two dropped catches off Ivan Thomas's bowling with Ballance on 65 and 69. Both should have been taken in the slips.
Ballance's 13th century of his first-class career comes a day after he was named in England's provisional 30-man squad for the one-day Champions Trophy this summer.

For Art V Cancer's Bending Time and Space show, Manchester, August/September 2013.
Available in a signed limited and numbered edition of 10 (all profits go to charity).
I guess the deliberately oxymoronic title says it all, but Sarah Connor meets Kyle Reese, they fall in love and have a son, John, who then many years later sends Kyle back to the 80s to protect Sarah. I was thinking about this never-ending cycle, and then realised that the eye plate of a classic Terminator would provide the perfect backdrop for said loop.
Thank You!

LSU fifth inning - With one out, Kramer Robertson reached second on an error by third baseman Hunter Cole. After McMullen popped out to Cole, Robertson scored on a single by Laird. LSU 2, GEORGIA 0
Georgia sixth inning - With one out, Conor Welton walked and Heath Holder reached on an infield single. After Stephen Wrenn struck out, Welton scored on a single by Nelson Ward. LSU 2, GEORGIA 1
Third inning - With one out, Laird singled. Laird stole second and advanced to third when second baseman Jess Posey failed to catch the throw from catcher Brandon Stephens. Bregman popped out to the shortstop and Scivicque grounded out to the third baseman.
Eighth inning - With two out, Laird and Bregman singled. Scivicque flied out to the centerfielder.
Laird picked up half of LSU's six hits with three singles. His second single drove home what proved to be the winning run in the fifth inning. Laird also stole a base. The RBI was just the fourth of the year for Laird. The multiple-hit game was his first since March 9 against Purdue. Laird had gone 2-for-20 since that game against the Boilermakers. This was the third time this season that Laird had three hits in a game.
Poche threw the most innings in his life as he was lifted with two out and a runner on first base in the ninth inning. Poche, who picked up his fifth victory of the year, allowed three hits with two walks and six strikeouts. Poche didn't give up a single until Bregman couldn't come up with Holder's chopping grounder with one out in the sixth. That inning was the only one in which Poche got into trouble. Holder's infield hit followed a one-out walk to Welton. After striking out Wrenn, Poche yielded a run-scoring single to leftfield by Ward. The inning ended as Ward was thrown out at second base by third baseman Christian Ibarra who cut off McMullen's throw to the plate. Poche retired the first nine batters before walking Wrenn to start the fourth. He set down seven straight batters before giving up a one-out single by Wrenn in the ninth. Ward hit a double-play grounder to Bregman, but Robertson had trouble getting a good grip on the ball for the throw to first base. Poche threw 102 pitches.
Broussard was called upon to get the final out against the righthanded-hitting Cole with the tying run on first base. Broussard struck out Cole, who had a 12-game hitting streak snapped. The save was the fifth of the year for Broussard, who has not given up a run in 12 appearances.
Tyler Moore started at catcher for the first time since Feb. 25 against UL-Lafayette. Coach Paul Mainieri wanted Moore to catch Poche because he is a better receiver than Scivicque. Moore doesn't throw as well as Scivicque, but Mainieri didn't think Georgia would run much against the southpaw Poche. . .Conner Hale was the first baseman with Robertson the second baseman. . .McMullen's first-inning triple was his second of the season. He had one triple all of last year. That hit extended McMullen's hitting streak to five games. . .Georgia freshman pitcher Robert Tyler yielded two runs and five hits in 7.2 innings. He was still throwing 96 miles per hour in the eighth inning. . .LSU stranded five runners, two in scoring position. The Tigers were 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position. . .Georgia has scored a total of three runs in its last four SEC games - all losses. . .LSU is 20-4 overall, 3-2 in the SEC. The Tigers are one game out of first place. . .Georgia is 14-10 overall, 1-4 in the SEC. The Bulldogs are tied with Missouri for last place in the SEC standings. . .The paid attendance was 11,334. The actual crowd was 7,417.
Paul Mainieri
"What a great pitchers' duel. You have to give plaudits to that pitcher from Georgia. His first pitch was 97 and his last pitch in the eighth was 96. It was a great challenge to go against that kid and Poche was up to the challenge. Poche threw his fast ball with a little something extra on it and he was breaking off his curve ball. Poche is not overpowering. He throws about 87, but he's going to be a great competitor. You talk about someone having the 'it' factor. Some guys have it. Jared Poche has it. He oozes being a winner. He doesn't pout and doesn't hang his head when things go wrong. We threw him right in there as the No. 2 starter. He showed he's a SEC pitcher tonight."
Jared Poche
"I struggled last week, so I wanted to get back to myself tonight. My command of the fast ball was huge tonight. In the bullpen, I thought this was going to be my worst outing. After the first inning, I felt better. This was my best outing in college. It's a one-run game, so you know it's going to be pretty tough. Coach (Mainieri) had trust in me. That's why he left me in. He said that I was getting better and better as the game went on. I wanted to stay in to finish. I pitched 8 2/3 innings. What is one more out? But, that's coach's decision."
Mark Laird
"Their pitcher did a good job challenging us with his fast ball. We put some balls in play hard, but we didn't get many hits. (On his at-bat in which he drove in a run), the first pitch was low and on the outside corner. I was sitting on the same pitch. I stayed back and hit the ball hard the other way. It's good to win the first two games to win the series. Championship teams come back to win on Sunday."
LSU will play attempt to sweep Georgia in the third game of the series at The Box on Sunday at noon. Mainieri has not decided upon the starting pitcher. He indicated that he may divide the pitching up like he does in a midweek contest. Due to the Bulldogs' travel plans, no inning can start after 3:45 p.m.

It was designed by a mom and it definitely shows in the planner. It has monthly calendars, weekly calendars (with dinner menu at the bottom of each night…love!), an address book that can be removed, lots of space in the back to take notes and much more. One of the things I have never liked about a dayplanner is you just buy new inserts for your planner and throw away the old. I like looking back on the year and remembering what we did and where we went. So, with the MomAgenda I can just stick it on the shelf to look back on many years from now! Oh, and I ordered the hotpink one with my name on the front of it in silver.
Oh and one last thing…it runs from August 2010 to Decemebr 2011. I could go on and on about it… THAT is how awesome it is! Go and get one! 🙂 Even if you don't have kids it's the perfect planner! Seriously!
I always feed the babes breakfast and then fix my cup of coffee to sip on while I tidy up around the house. It makes my housework seem somewhat enjoyable 😉
I couldn't decide which flavor to pick this morning at the store so I chose two. Peppermint Mocha and Sugar and Spice. I've yet to try the Sugar and Spice. Anyone ever had it?!?
When we got home I was able to open up all the windows and the front door while I got some cleaning done. I still can't believe my windows are open and it's one week until Thanksgiving! This morning Emma asked if it was going to snow… I wish it was! Oh and a quick side note: we had pot roast for dinner tonight. I made it in the crockpot with the Slow Cooker McCormick Pot Roast Seasoning packet. I had never used it before but it had great flavor! You should give it a try!

Iowa has a number of players on defense who will have a chance to make a living in the NFL. One of them is senior middle linebacker Pat Angerer. He was the Hawkeyes' leading tackler against Indiana with 12 stops (1.5 of them were for a loss) and a forced fumble, and when you watch this young man in action, you can't help but see similarities with Zach Thomas.
At 6-foot, 235 pounds, Angerer isn't one of the bigger players at the position, but top instincts, very good speed to the football and a great passion for the game enable him to make plays all over the field. He's also very comfortable working in reverse, as he tied for tops on the team last season with five interceptions.

After four long years Senate Democrats finally passed a budget. The last time they passed a budget there were no iPads. Of course the budget they passed would raise taxes by a trillion dollars.
The Senate on Saturday narrowly passed its first federal budget in four years, a move that will usher in a relative lull in Washington's fiscal wars until an anticipated summer showdown over raising the debt ceiling.
The budget plan was passed by a 50-49 vote in the Democratic-controlled chamber. Four Democratic senators facing tough re-election campaigns in 2014 joined all the Senate Republicans in opposing the measure, which seeks to raise nearly $1 trillion in new tax revenues by closing some tax breaks for the wealthy.
The Senate budget, which reflects Democratic priorities of boosting near-term job growth and preserving social safety net programs, will square off in coming months against a Republican-focused budget passed by the Republican-dominated House of Representatives.
The Democrats' budget never balances, it's just spend, spend, spend and tax, tax, tax.
Oh, and just look at all of the things that have happened since the last time the Democrats passed a budget:

Regional Navigation
Interstate 55
Interstate 55 vastly replaced the routing of U.S. 66 northeast from St. Louis to Springfield, Bloomington-Normal, and Wilmington while en route to Chicago. The freeway directly overlaid many portions of four-lane U.S. 66, with sections of the route relegated to frontage roads or as business loops through cities bypassed by the freeway. Within Chicago, Interstate 55 follows the Stephenson Expressway through to a northern terminus at U.S. 41 (Lake Shore Drive) off of Lake Michigan.
Tri-level stack interchanges lie east of the Poplar Street Bridge, joining Interstates 55 & 64 with Illinois 3 from Sauget to the south and a freeway stub (unconstructed U.S. 460) into East St. Louis. Photo taken June 1, 2011.
Interstate 55 was finished in Illinois with the completion of the Dwight bypass of old U.S. 66 in 1980.1
The interchange between Interstate 55 and Veterans Parkway (Business Loop I-55) on the north side of Bloomington was revamped over a two year period betewen 2002 and October 2004. A $37-million project reconfigured the interchange from a directional interchange with a left-hand ramp from Interstate 55 south to Veterans Parkway south into a six-ramp partial-cloverleaf interchange. This added access to Pipeline Road north from I-55 south.2

Inflammatory Breast Cancer- 5/10 Radical Mastectomy on left then chemo & radiation. 4/11 Total Mastectomy on right & tissue expanders on both. Left expander failed. Swelling & numbness left arm. 11/11 expanders removed, LAT and implants put in. Now 4/12 lLAT has failed. I look like Frankenstein's monster! Tiny breast like bump on right-some smashed mess on left. Still have to wear padded bra with prosthesis on left. I HATE THIS! Also have bulge of something on back- lynmphedema?
What Are my Options After a Failed LAT Flap?
Doctor Answers 5
What are my options after a failed latissimus flap?
There are many options to breast reconstruction including implant-based and flap-based procedures. The complication rate with implants following radiation is reported as high as 60-70% in some studies. Flap reconstruction is usually recommended, but there are several centers who perform implants following radiation with great success and results. I typically prefer flaps, such as the DIEP flap. Other flaps are the conventional TRAM, SGAP/IGAP, and, TUG.
You are a candidate for other procedures, if you are willing to continue with your journey for a reconstructed breast. Flaps such as those above, including others, are available. The decision to continue with this will be your decision and what you are willing to go through. There are risks and benefits with everything that we do in Surgery - discuss the various options with a board certified plastic surgeon who will educate you on all of the options and help you to decided if breast reconstruction or which procedure will be best for you. Hope that this helps and best wishes!
Breast reconstruction
If you are interested in being seen in Austin please give us a call. I know this is a difficult time for you. The majority of my practice is devoted to reconstruction for women with breast cancer or who are BRCA+
Options for delayed breast reconstruction
I am sorry to hear about your postoperative course. After radiation and failed implant and failed latissimus flap reconstruction, I would consider you for a possible DIEP flap or TRAM flap. If you have excess skin and fat in your lower tummy and have ever thought about a tummy tuck, you may be a candidate for a DIEP Flap procedure. However, you must be in good health to be a candidate for tissue only breast reconstruction using your excess belly tissue. To learn more about your options, please visit our breast reconstruction website below.

Options fro Breast Reconstruction
Sorry to hear about all of your problems, breast reconstruction can be very difficult in the face of radiation, and there are often many setbacks. I would encourage you to pursue the free tissue transfer option. This is where tissue from one part of your body is taken and placed in your mastectomy defect. This is a more complex operation but offers and excellent cosmetic result and can be used in the face of radiation. I would encourage to visit with your surgeon and discuss the free tissue transfer method of reconstruction.
Delayed breast reconstruction post radiation
I'm sorry you've had such difficulty with you breast reconstruction. Unfortunately, radiation may screw up the best reconstructions. In a previously radiated chest, you only available options will be autologous reconstruction wither either a free flap ( DIEP, IGap/SGap, gracious, etc.) or a Pedicled flap such as a TRAM. During your consultation with your plastic surgeon, he will be able to recommend and discuss which option will be best for you. This will be based upon your physical exam and treatment history.

Oil markets appear to be…
A risky but potentially rewarding…
Helius Energy has officially opened its new biomass power plant in Rothes, Scotland. The biomass plant will create energy using by-products from the local distillery that produces the world famous single malt Glenrothes whiskey.
In a formal ceremony the Helius CoRDe Ltd biomass plant, capable of supplying 9,000 homes with clean power, was opened by HRH The Duke of Rothesay.
The 8.23MW combined heat and power plant was constructed by a consortium of energy and distillery companies, including Rabo Project Equity BV, and the Combination of Rothes Distillers Limited (CoRD). The project cost £60.5 million and will now replace the existing, carbon intensive CoRD plant that currently process all of the waste biomass produced during the distilling process.
Related article: Government Regulations Harming US Refiners
The biomass power plant will produce electricity, heat, and a protein supplement known as Pot Ale Syrup, that can be used as animal feed, all whilst saving around 46,000 tonnes of carbon a year, compared to if a regular coal plant had been used to power the waste processing.
Adrian Bowles , the chief executive officer of Helius Energy, said that, "this is renewable energy in action using innovative technology to provide enough power for 9,000 homes, and produce animal feed using by-products from local whisky distilleries. Projects like these will increasingly form part of the UK energy mix."

Prisons face a growing problem of cell phone usage among inmates with 2,000-3,000 handsets being confiscated each year in some facilities. A variety of means allows inmates to obtain handsets which are then used from within prison to arrange for drug deals, organize gang activity and even order hits on prison staff members and their families. The phones are not allowed in prison, but prisoners manage to obtain them and use them covertly.
One hindrance to stopping illegal cell phone activity from within prisons is an FCC regulation that prevents the use of jamming technology. The most cost-effective way to control cell phone usage would be to blanket the prison with jamming technology to stop outgoing and incoming mobile phone calls. A jamming system would cost about $500,000 to install at each facility. Rather than use this relatively inexpensive and convenient solution, prisons are forced to seek out alternative solutions to get this problem under control.
Mississippi is the first state in the US to install alternative technology to block mobile phone usage from within prison walls. This technology uses a cell phone tower provided by Tecore Networks that is designed to accept calls only from pre-approved numbers. The first tower installed at Parchman Farm prison has blocked 1 million cell phone transmissions which originated from the prison's 3,200 inmates. Tecore is installing three towers at three different prisons within Mississippi for a total cost of $3 million. This $3 million fee is being waived as these towers are included as part of a larger telecommunications contract the company negotiated with the state.
Other states are considering similar solutions, but budget cutbacks have put these plans on hold. Until the technology can become more affordable, the cat and mouse game between prisoners and inmates over mobile phone usage will continue.

Issaquah, Wash. Costco Wholesale Corp. said Thursday its fiscal first-quarter profit climbed 11%, partly on solid membership-fee growth, to meet Wall Street's expectations.
For the period ended Nov. 25, the company reported earnings of $262 million compared with $236.9 million in the prior year.
Quarterly revenue rose 12% to $15.81 billion from $14.15 billion on increased membership-fee revenue and higher sales.
Membership fee revenue climbed to $338 million from $299.3 million, the company said.
Same-store warehouse sales rose 8% during the quarter, while U.S. same-store sales grew 5%. Excluding the impact of rising gas prices, U.S. same-store sales increased 4%. International same-store sales surged 17% on favorable currency exchange rates and climbed 5% on a local currency basis.
