Suite 300
Madeira Beach, FL 33708
Curcumin Found to Curb Diabetes RiskPosted: Monday, August 06, 2012
The new study included 240 Thai adults with prediabetes who were randomly assigned to take either curcumin capsules or a placebo. In the intervention group, people took six supplement capsules per day, each of which contained 250 mg of curcuminoids.
Lab research has suggested curcumin can fight inflammation and oxidative damage to body cells. After nine months, 19 of the 116 placebo patients had developed type 2 diabetes, compared to none of the 119 patients taking curcumin.
Lead researcher Dr. Somlak Chuengsamarn of Srinakharinwirot University in Nakornnayok, Thailand, sees the findings as an endorsement. "Because of its benefits and safety, we propose that curcumin extract may be used for an intervention therapy for the prediabetes population," the researchers write.
Constance Brown-Riggs, a certified diabetes educator and spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, stated that, "This looks promising, but there are still a lot of questions."
She added that, one issue is that the trial lasted only nine months, and we have concerns that people with prediabetes will see a quick fix in curcumin capsules.
Brown-Riggs also noted that dietary supplements are not closely regulated in the U.S., and consumers cannot be sure that a product actually contains the ingredients listed on the label. Last year, the testing company ConsumerLab.com found that 20% of curcumin and turmeric supplements it tested failed the company's quality review.
Brown-Riggs also worries that people will ignore the diet and exercise changes they need in favor of a "magic bullet." That said, she thinks research into curcumin capsules should continue. "This study is compelling, and the good news is there seemed to be minimal adverse effects."
One study participant on curcumin reported "itching," two had constipation and one reported vertigo. It's not clear that the supplement was to blame.
And if curcumin does help battle diabetes, the reason for that is not fully clear. But the researchers did find that the supplement seemed to improve the function of beta-cells. They speculate that the anti-inflammatory effects of curcumin help protect beta-cells from damage.
However, the researchers said it's too early for people to head to the health food store for curcumin supplements.

Recipe for conservative revival
WASHINGTON — Happy days are not here again, but they are coming for conservatives. Barack Obama — with the lowest approval rating (according to Gallup, 50 percent, four points lower than that of the National Rifle Association) of any re-elected president when inaugurated since the Second World War — has a contradictory agenda certain to stimulate a conservative revival.
Consider his vow to expend political capital on climate change. The absurdity of the Kyoto approach — global climate treaties agreed to by 190 nations — is now obvious even to most former enthusiasts. Obama can propose cutting U.S. fossil-fuel emissions (just 16 percent of the global total) with a carbon tax or cap-and-trade scheme, but Congress will pass neither. So he will be reduced to administrative gestures costly to job growth, and government spending — often crony capitalism — for green energy incommensurate with his rhetoric.

" As long as conservatives continue to be deniers of climate change, as is reflected in this article, they will continue to decline. Burying your head in the sand, just for the sake of making a buck now, is not a strategy for the future. It mortgages it. The storm plowing down on Connecticut right now is but a symptom of the validity of climate change. "

A huge thank you to everyone who has taken part in some fantastic fundraising for our Mother Appeal over the past few months. To pay in the money you raised, see our guide below.
Pay in your fundraising
From mother-themed quizzes, buggy walks, park walks, fundraising balls, bake offs, lunches, shows, and a gala performance of the musical Once... thousands of people up and down the country have got involved to help mums around the world lift their lives out of poverty. Whether you organised an event, took part in an event, donated goods to an Oxfam store, or made a donation, it will have a huge impact on mothers, their families and local communities.
With the UK Government doubling your fundraising, we'll be able to lift the lives of twice as many mums around the world - just remember to pay in any fundraising by 31 May for it to be eligible for the Government's matched funding.
There are three easy ways to pay in the money you've raised:
1. Pay in online.
2. Download a paying-in form (PDF, 82KB), fill it in and post it along with a cheque (don't forget to complete a Gift Aid form (PDF, 240KB), if appropriate, and make your fundraising go even further.
3. Call 0300 200 1285 and pay in your fundraising using your credit card. Remember to say that you held an event for the Mother Appeal. And if you've not had a chance to raise any money but still want to donate to Oxfam's Mother Appeal, then you can still make a donation online.
Your fundraising will enable Oxfam to continue to help women living in poverty around the world and put in place programmes to allow them to change not only their own lives but those of their families and the communities in which they live.
In supporting our Mother Appeal, you'll help lift the lives of mums like Joygun, who's featured in the video here. Thanks to your support, Joygun can now feed her children nutritious food, send them to school, and keep them safe each time the waters return to her flood-prone community.

Bradley Starks made a name for himself passing the ball and running it occasionally during his time as the Orange Hornets' quarterback, earning 2006 Jefferson District Player of the Year honors, as well as All-State recognition. Now he's trying to do the same at the college level, this time by catching the ball, and the former local stand out took a big step this past weekend.
Starks, a red-shirt junior wide receiver at West Virginia, had the best game of his collegiate career this past Saturday. He caught four passes for 100 yards and three of the receptions went for touchdowns. Starks has played in all five games for the Mountaineers this season, starting four of them, but Saturday's action marked his first receptions of the 2010 campaign. Head coach Bill Stewart hopes its a sign of things to come for the Orange County native.
The former Hornet is coming off a solid sophomore season a year ago in which he ranked third on the team in receiving with 29 catches for 405 yards and two touchdowns.
Starks and the Mountaineers return to action on Thursday as they host South Florida at 7:30 pm. Local fans can catch the former Orange star on national television, as the game will be on ESPN.

A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test that can help reveal how your tissues and organs are functioning. A small amount of radioactive material is necessary to show this activity.
The precise type of radioactive material and its delivery method depend on which organ or tissue is being studied by the PET scan. The radioactive material may be injected into a vein, inhaled or swallowed.
More radioactive material accumulates in areas that have higher levels of chemical activity. This often corresponds to areas of disease and shows up as brighter spots on the PET scan. A PET scan is useful in evaluating a variety of conditions — including neurological problems, heart disease and cancer.
A PET scan is an effective way to examine the chemical activity in certain parts of your body, which may help detect abnormalities in those areas. PET scans are most often used in people who have cancer, heart disease or brain disorders.
Cancer cells show up as brighter spots on PET scans because they have a higher metabolism rate than do normal cells. PET scans may be useful in determining:
PET scans must be interpreted carefully because noncancerous conditions can resemble cancer, and many types of cancer do not appear on PET scans. The types of cancer most likely to show up on PET scans include:
Doctors use PET scanning to detect areas of decreased blood flow in the heart. This can help show which areas of the heart might benefit from angioplasty or coronary artery bypass surgery.
A PET scan can show which areas of the brain have the most activity during various tasks. This technology also can evaluate specific brain abnormalities, such as:
Although a radioactive substance is used during a PET scan, the amount of radiation that you're exposed to is too low to affect the normal processes of your body.
However, this radioactive material might harm the fetus of a pregnant woman. You and your doctor can discuss risk to the fetus or infant versus the reasoning and benefit of having a PET scan performed.
A PET scan is usually done on an outpatient basis. Your doctor will give you detailed instructions on how to prepare for your scan. Before undergoing the scan, be sure to tell your doctor about any prescription and over-the-counter medications you're taking, as well as any vitamins and herbal supplements. If you're taking certain medications or have certain diseases, such as diabetes, you'll receive specific instructions before your scan.
A general rule is to not eat anything for several hours before the scan. Wear comfortable clothes to your appointment. You may be asked to change into a hospital gown for the test. If an area of your body near your bladder needs to be examined, a soft tube (catheter) may be inserted into your urethra to keep urine drained from your bladder during the scan.
If you're pregnant or think you might be pregnant, tell your doctor before undergoing a PET scan. The radioactive substance used during this procedure may expose the fetus to radiation.
The PET scanner is a large machine that looks a little like a giant doughnut standing upright, similar to a computerized tomography (CT) machine.
Depending upon the organ being studied, you may inhale or swallow the radioactive substance or receive it intravenously. If the substance is injected intravenously, you might briefly feel a cold sensation moving up your arm.
You must wait 30 to 60 minutes for the radioactive substance to be absorbed by the organ or tissue to be imaged. After the specified time has passed, you'll lie on a narrow table that slides into the PET scanner's opening. The test itself is painless, but you must lie very still or the images will be blurred. It takes about 30 minutes to complete the test, during which time you'll hear buzzing and clicking sounds.
If you're claustrophobic, you may feel some anxiety while positioned in the scanner. Be sure to tell the nurse or technologist about any discomfort. Medications can help you feel more relaxed.
In general, there are no restrictions on your daily routine after the test. However, drink plenty of fluids to help flush the radioactive substance from your body.
Different colors or degrees of brightness on the images from a PET scan represent different levels of tissue and organ function. A radiologist with special training in reading PET scans interprets the images.
Images from other tests, such as those from recent computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), may be compared or even combined with those of your PET scan. Some hospitals have a machine that can take a PET scan and a CT scan at the same time. The resulting images often provide greater clarity.

Depends...I have a by-pass humidifier in my system, and to switch over I (should) close the bypass duct damper.
On some systems, you might get better operation if you switch the fan speed, but that isn't as common.
You should change the filter more often than change of seasons! but other than that, flipping the switch may be adequate.
Some houses are installed with multiple exhaust registers...it works better to exhaust cooled air high and heated air low. If you have multiple ducts, both high and low, close the lower ones and open the higher ones.
My house is an open design and I find in the winter I direct much of the heat downstairs and it gets upstairs. In the summer, I direct most of the cooling upstairs, and it gets downstairs. Having good return ducts may change your operating parameters.

The man sentenced in 1990 to 20 years in prison for shooting the police chief in Emerado, N.D., twice in the head could face another 20-year sentence on drug charges.
Dale Densmore, 50, appeared in state district court in Grand Forks on Wednesday. He pleaded not guilty to the Class A felony charge of manufacturing methamphetamine on a farmstead five miles north of Larimore, N.D. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.
He also pleaded not guilty to a Class C felony charge of using meth and a Class A misdemeanor count of possessing paraphernalia to use marijuana stemming from his arrest in May.
In 1990, Densmore pleaded guilty to attempted murder after he shot Police Chief Eric Stewart point-blank in the face, then in the side of his head as he lay wounded in the street in Emerado.
Stewart survived and now lives in northwest Minnesota.
Densmore was sentenced by state District Judge Joel Medd in 1990 to the maximum 20 years in prison; he was released several years ago and had been living at his family's farmstead near Larimore.
New charge
The same Judge Medd on Wednesday set a pre-trial conference for Nov. 8 for Densmore on the meth charges.
Densmore remains in the Grand Forks County jail where he has been since last spring on a $100,000 bond.
According to investigators' affidavits, Densmore, John McCoy and Jennifer Holsinger — all with drug crime histories — had been watched for months in 2011 and early 2012.
Their suspiciously big and frequent purchases of pseudoephedrine — the cold medicine used as a basic building block in cooking meth — at drugstores in Larimore, Grand Forks and East Grand Forks over several months, were tracked by the regional drug task force.
A search of the Densmore farmstead May 18 — after a three-hour stand-off and violent arrest of Densmore — found meth-making equipment and materials, as well as several guns plus ammo, investigators said.
McCoy also appeared Wednesday before Medd on separate lesser drug charges but faces similar felony charges of meth-making and possession.
Medd set an Oct. 19 preliminary hearing for McCoy, ordering the lesser case to track with the felony charges in court.
Holsinger also has been charged with a Class A felony of conspiring to make meth.

1111 Washington Ave S, Minneapolis, MN | Directions 5541544.975054 -93.252532
11am-2am monday through friday, noon-2am saturday & sunday
Neighborhoods: Central, Downtown East
soulless atmosphere, poor service: AVOID – This is almost the exact opposite of the Grumpy's in NE Mpls, with the exception of the surly staff attitude.
Where the NE bar is cramped, this place seems empty with 20 people in it. It's hard to call this a "neighbourhood bar", because almost nobody lives around there.
One thing that the Grumpy's chain seems to encourage is a lousy attitude toward customers. It starts when you park in the back - a surly old guy will confront you. When you pass that gauntlet, you will sit for about 15 minutes before anyone even approaches you for your order, even if you sit at the bar. Don't try to flag their attention, or you will get a generous helping of contempt.
Actually, you will get disdain and contempt regardless.
The last time I went there, my friend and I waited 20 minutes at the bar, though there were only about ten people in the place. It took over five minutes to get a tap beer, and another ten minutes before anyone took our food order. Everyone there makes no secret of their belief that customers are a pain the neck, and they get some kind of perverse pleasure from being annoying and rude.
Go over your check carefully. The staff will place other people's food/drink on your bill. Trying to straighten it out is exasperating, as the staff really don't care.
I can think of no reason, even mildly compelling, to go to this establishment. Though we tipped cash ($1/beer) separate from our food tab, there was no change in attitude or quality of service. The bartender seemed genuinely irritated by our desire to have a second round.
grumpy is right – i won't be going back. a grumpy bartender is not worth my time. after saying i don't like a certain type of beer, he brought one over. i thought it was a joke or that maybe he liked it and wanted me to try it? i should have clarified. my husband took a few sips, as did i - but i don't think we even finished it. at the end of the night when i didn't want to pay for it, he said, "i hate complainers" and took about 20 minutes running around complaining to his fellow bartenders before he actually knocked it off the bill. whatever, lame place. and the jukebox sucked - you couldn't hear it except for the two tables right by it. i will admit the food can be good but it's not worth it.
Tots! – Now, I've been to Grumpy's a handful of times and I will agree - don't go after a Twins Game. Menu is VERY limited, but took some friends here for lunch recently and they loved it! Everyone had a burger and I had the El Paso Tuna Melt. Food came quick, was delicious, and attentive service. The drinks poured in the evening are strong enough and at a good price. I recommend for the food and drinks. Lots of fried stuff if that's what you're into.
Stay away for Twins games. – Avoid Grumpy's on Minnesota Twins game days. Grumpys has sold their soul to Bobby and Steve's Auto World and now charges you a parking fee to eat or drink there before games.
The pub grub and blaring jukebox at this downtown dive will get you out of that grumpy mood. – In Short
This is the third incarnation of Grumpy's, joining the original Coon Rapids and northeast Minneapolis locations. There's a full menu of burgers, chicken sandwiches and soups that pad the stomachs of families and friends who come before a trip to the Dome. It also serves myriad local and regional brews, as well as the usual suspects, all available on tap. The jukebox features a wide range of rock and country music, some of it local.
Go here. – Old Speckled Hen on tap, great music, mixed crowd, yummy food.
Free parking!
Alternative Local Feel – You never know what you will see at Grumpy's. They have some of the best food in town, and a great innovative drink selection. The staff is prompt and friendly. The people watching is amazing. Parking is usually not a problem. The patios make it divine. The music is occassionally hard-core.
Out of town but felt at home – After deciding to go to this bar based on this webpage, we weren't sure what to expect. But as soon, as we walked in - we felt right at home. Our waiter was very friendly, a little overly chatty and in fact, from the state we were from. Grimpy's has a great jukebox, the problem was, you couldn't hear it from all spots in the bar. It was a strange blend of alt kids with tattoos mixed in with Vikings Fans who just came in from the game. Everyone seemed to get along - so it was all good.

My fave Puerto Rican, (well besides my mami) Jennifer Lopez wears a fierce crop jacket and jeans from her line at Kohl's—which I'm truly obsessed with! It's casual cool with a sexy vibe. Not only is it so fashionable, but versatile too. You can dress it up with stilettos or down with kicks.
I have to say, this shearling puts my 90s one that was three sizes too big, (baggy was in then, okay) to shame. Yeah, I thought I was a fly girl back then when I sported it, but I'm so about showing some skin now. The cut of hers reveals just enough when paired with BF jeans that hit at the hips. And of course like my girl, I live in heels and would complete this ensemble with sky-high booties.
Don't forget to accessorize with big hoops and a bit of bling. You know how we Latinas roll, and it's never understated.

Convincing effort tonight!
Many mistakes, many bad calls, but Casey is finaly going with the winning unit. Keeping the bench mob out there to terrorize in the fourth was brilliant. Amir and Calderon had inspired games, while Ed, Demar, Anderson played huge roles in the victory. Awesome stuff tonight.
The Baltic Beast is unstoppable!
Since Brooklyn Nets game, this team is a pleasure to watch. The ball movement and defensive effort is much better. This 4 straight games of some good basketball!
screw everything, just build this team around Jose Calderon. The Superstar! the Spanish Spartan!! LOL
I love how OFFENSE is not our problem these days. #WhoNeedsaStretch4
The Baltic Beast is unstoppable!
This might be another stamp that Casey is not the issue; therefore, BC & Bargnani gots to go. At the trade deadline or end of season. When Bargnani comes back, I expect him to come off bench because Val, Ed, and Amir have earned minutes ahead of him.

The Order of Isabella the Catholic (Spanish: Orden de Isabel la Católica) is a Spanish civil order granted in recognition of services that benefit the country. The Order is not exclusive to Spaniards, and many foreigners have been awarded it.
The Order was created on 14 March 1815 by King Ferdinand VII of Spain in honor of Queen Isabella I of Castile with the name of "Royal and American Order of Isabella the Catholic"[1] with the intent of "rewarding the firm allegiance to Spain and the merits of Spanish citizens and foreigners in good standing with the Nation and especially in those exceptional services provided in pursuit of territories in America and overseas."[2] The Order was reorganized by royal decree on July 26, 1847, as the modern "Royal Order of Isabella the Catholic" with a broader focus than the Americas.
Officials and grades[edit]
The King of Spain (currently Juan Carlos I) is Grand Master of the Order. The Chancellor of the Order is the Minister of Foreign Affairs. All deeds granting decorations of the Order must bear the signatures of both. Beneath these two officials of the Order, there are currently several grades:
- First Class
- Second Class
- Third Class
- Fourth Class
- Fifth Class
- Sixth Class
- Silver Medal (Medalla de Plata)
- Bronze Medal (Medalla de Bronce)[3]
The original statues of the order of 24 March 1815 established the order in three classes. The structure of the order has varied several times since then. The following is a summary of the history of the various grades and medals of the order:
- Knights of the Collar (Caballeros del Collar) – Established 22 June 1927.
- Knights Grand Cross (Caballeros Gran Cruz) – Established 24 March 1815.
- Knight First Class (Caballeros de Primera Clase) – Established 24 March 1815, retitled Commander (Comdador) on 24 July 1815.
- Officer (Oficial) – Established 10 October 1931, abolished 15 June 1938 and restored 5 June 1971.
- Knight Second Class (Caballeros de Segunda Clase) – Established 24 March 1815, retiled Knight (Caballeros) on 24 July 1815.
- Silver Cross (Cruz de Plata) – Established 16 March 1903 to reward civil and palace officials.
- Gold Medal with Laureate (Medal de Oro pero Laureada) – Established on 24 July 1815 for award to European sergeants and enlisted men. Subsequently abolished.
- Gold Medal (Medal de Oro) – Established on 24 July 1815 for award to non-European 'natives'. Subsequently abolished.
- Silver Medal (Medal de Plata) – Established 15 April 1907 to reward non-commissioned officers and junior civil officials.
- Bronze Medal (Medal de Bronce) – Established 15 April 1907 to reward non-commissioned officers and junior civil officials.[4]
Women appointed to an applicable grade are not called Knights (Caballeros). Women are instead appointed as Dames of the Collar (Damas del Collar), Dames Grand Cross (Damas Gran Cruz) or Dame's Cross (Cruz de Damas).[3]
Order Decoration[edit]
The decoration is a red-enameled cross, with a golden frame. The outer peaks are fitted with small gold balls. The center of the medallion contains the inscription "A La Lealtad Acrisolada" (To Proven Loyalty) and "Por Isabel la Católica" (For Isabella the Catholic) on white enamel. Above the cross is a green enameled laurel wreath with the band ring.
The ribbon is yellow with a white central stripe,[5] except the "Collar" for which the wearing of the collar can be replaced by a gold-yellow sash with white stripes on the edges.

Spanish Springs turned in a team total of 339 at WildCreek in the first High Desert League girls golf tournament of the fall season last week, just going lower than McQueen's 343. However, on Thursday, it was McQueen posting a 345 on its home course of Somersett Country Club. That was four strokes better than the 349 of Spanish Springs.
The results have the HDL rivals deadlocked in Nevada Cup team points after two tournaments. four remain.
Spanish Springs had two of the top three scores in Thursday's tournament but sill could not top McQueen. For the second straight week, SSHS sophomore Katrina Prendergast was the tournament's top golfer. Her 77 bested the field, giving her individual medalist honors.
"She is just very consistent," Cougars coach Mike Bosco said. "She drives the ball well and hits a high percentage of greens in regulation. She told me she didn't putt well and said if she putted well, she could've shot 70. She had a tap in for eagle on a par five, almost made the double eagle. That was pretty nice. She was excited about that."
Spanish Springs junior Trae Jones carded an 82, a score good for third overall.
"Trae was real consistent, just a few strokes behind Katrina," said Bosco, who is in his first season at the helm of the SSHS girls golf program. "She wasn't even happy with her score, felt like she wasn't striking the ball well. But she battled and was able to get up and down ... To shoot 82 and not be thrilled with that score is kind of hard for me to understand but these girls are that good."
HDL rules allow for schools to put six players in a tournament field but only score the top four. The Cougars' scoring contingent was rounded out by Sam Sorensen's 87 and the 103 of Joanna Perry. Spanish Springs did not count the 110 of Katrina Weil or the 116 of Kirsti Fettas.
McQueen's four counting scores were 80, 85, 90 and 90.
Spanish Springs' highest counting score last week was a 95, so counting a 103 this week was the difference between winning and losing as a team.
"It's not one person's fault," Bosco said. "I don't want to put too much pressure on the girls, but I also want them to understand, if each one of them makes one more putt, maybe we win.
"Somersett was tough. It was hard to score. It's really tough, not an easy course at all."
The High Desert League's girls golfers will be in Spanish Springs next week when the Cougars host the third HDL tournament of the fall campaign. It will be hosted on the SSHS squad's home course, RedHawk on Monday. The tourney gets going with a 1 p.m. shotgun start.

Part of the Picture 2009-11 Report - Key points and action plan
Part of the Picture (POTP) aims to establish a national database of lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) people's drug and alcohol use; to use the database to inform local and national policy and practice in addressing the drug and alcohol use of LGB people; and to improve knowledge and understanding of the needs of LGB people amongst drug and alcohol agencies through dissemination of the research findings.
This report presents four main findings from the first three years (2009-11) of POTP, from a total sample of 4,206 lesbian, gay and bisexual people:
Across all age groups LGB people are much more likely to use drugs compared to the general population; 35% of respondents had taken at least one substance (excluding alcohol) in the last month. Drug use is common across all age groups, especially up to the age of 40.
Problematic patterns of drinking are much more common among LGB people. Binge drinking is high across all genders, sexual orientations and age groups, with 34% of males and 29% of females reporting binge drinking at least once or twice a week.
LGB people demonstrate a higher likelihood of being substance dependent and show high levels of substance-dependency Over a fifth of the sample scored as dependent on a substance, and a further quarter showed at least one indicator of dependency.
Significant barriers exist to seeking information, advice or help among LGB people. Almost a third of respondents had sought information, advice or help about their substance use. The reasons given for not having sought information, advice or help indicate that LGB people are experiencing barriers both in relation to recognising they may have a substance problem which needs attention, and in accessing services where they feel comfortable and confident in the services provided.
For more information on Part of the Picture, email email@example.com
To take part in the Part of the Picture online survey visit www.partofthepicture.co.uk
Part of the Picture: Action Plan
Following the report launch, recommendations for action have been developed with key stakeholders in the drug and alcohol use field. Actions for individual stakeholders centre on using an awareness of the Part of the Picture report findings to begin to tackle the problematic drug and alcohol use of LGB people.
Commissioners and policy makers
Under the Equality Act 2010, services must be designed and commissioned to take account of LGB people's specific needs. Commissioners and policy makers should therefore:
- Include a requirement to meet specific LGB needs in drug and alcohol commissioning strategies and procurement plans;
- Mandate that commissioned service providers monitor the sexual orientation of their service users, in order to better understand LGB people's need.
Drug and alcohol service providers
While the Part of the Picture data shows that LGB people are more likely to be using drugs and alcohol than the general population, rates of access to drug and alcohol treatment services are currently unknown. Drug and alcohol service providers should therefore:
- Monitor the sexual orientation of service users and use the data to establish if LGB people are using their service(s) and if they rate the service(s) as highly as heterosexual people;
- Ensure services are accessible to LGB people and are meeting their specific needs. For example, does the service have an LGB specialist worker, or does it provide services for substances popular among LGB people such as cannabis?
LGB&T voluntary and community sector
Information expertise is available from The Lesbian & Gay Foundation on up-to-date research on LGB drug and alcohol use, and advice on using this in funding bids and to influence services locally. The LGB&T voluntary and community sector should therefore:
- Ensure staff and volunteers are aware of potential drug and/or alcohol misuse issues for service users;
- Use the Part of the Picture data to talk to commissioners and service providers locally, to get LGB people's needs on important strategic documents (such as regional drug and alcohol strategies, the Joint Strategic Needs Assessments and Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategies).
Part of the Picture project team
We will continue to research LGB alcohol and drug use and to disseminate our findings to stakeholders in the drug and alcohol use field, and among the LGB&T voluntary and community sector.
- Conduct qualitative research to explore why certain groups of LGB people are using substances in the way they are;
- Produce a report of the 2009-12 data to be launched in Summer 2013.

What is the easiest way to get current congestion information for London (for driving), so that I can choose an optimal route? It will be especially important during the Games...
migrated from travel.stackexchange.com Jul 31 '12 at 14:30
This question came from our site for road warriors and seasoned travelers.
If you try this Google Maps link, I've configured it to show traffic congestion live in London. It updates every few minutes, it appears, and from reports from my friends on the ground, seems fairly accurate. If you're using Google Maps on your phone, the latest car navigating option in Google Maps apparently takes this into account and can re-route you around delays.
Transport for London (TfL) has developed a website called Get Ahead Of The Games which has information on temporary road changes in London as well as predicted impact on roads in London according game events and venues. While Google Maps and 'social driving direction' apps such as Waze can give you current information, the TfL Get Ahead website can give you more helpful data on what hotspots to avoid at what times.
As far as I know Google Maps provides traffic information when you ask for directions regarding London (and other cities as well).
I don't know if it is the best way to choose an optimal route, probably not. If your have one it is better to rely on some traffic-aware car navigator.
TomTom HD Traffic has another map, but why try that? The companion site Routes.tomtom.com already takes the delays into account, as well as temporary road closures.

AUSTIN -- In addition to Homeopathy, a form of alternative medicine that some patients find more appealing than conventional medical techniques, two more non-traditional forms of healing have produced patients who swear by the results.
At Austin Integrative Medicine in Central Austin, Jill Selman undergoes an acupuncture treatment to help relieve her insomnia.
Seventeen miles north in Round Rock Allison Heeney undergoes a trigger point massage therapy to free her from migraine headaches.
Heeney originally came to Therapy Central for a sports-related injury. She said she was shocked when licensed massage therapist Ken Moench looked at her patient history form and said:
"He said I see that you're suffering from migraines, and I'm going to help you with that," said Heeney. "And I said to myself, 'Sure you are.'"
Heeney's skepticism was due to nearly two decades of debilitating migraines.
"The kind of migraines where sound hurts and light hurts," said Heeney. "You are throwing up and you're nauseous. It affected my whole life, my family, everything."
No medication Heeney took and no medical professional she saw provided her with any lasting relief, until she met Moench.
"If you only treat the symptoms you're never going to fix the problem," said Moench.
Moench and other therapists at Therapy Central use PNM MYOFACIAL Release. PNM stands for pin and move. It's a combination of trigger point therapy, deep tissue massage and MYOFACIAL release with movement. It increases the blood flow and circulation through the affected area.
"If you can't get blood supply to an area it can never get better," said Moench. "Your body knows that. We basically just open up areas and lengthen tissue to allow for a better range in motion."
Acupuncturist Justin Phillips says the question about acupuncture has shifted from does it work to how does it work.
While it's still not certain, Phillips says one of the leading theories focuses on the body's bio-electric and bio-magnetic systems.
"Really the idea behind that is that the body is one big battery," said Phillips. "There's constantly electrical circulation going through the body at any given time."
Phillips says science has shown our electrical system changes depending on whether the body is sick or healthy.
"Now if you take a metal needle and insert into a point of more electrical resistance or conductivity, that's going to cause a change throughout the electrical system," said Phillips.
Essentially, he says, changing the conversation the body is having with itself. Selman says acupuncture gives her a sense of relaxation she can't get anywhere else.
"After my first treatment I was very, very calm," said Selman.
She says the end result has helped her get over her initial phobia of needles.
"The needles do not actually pierce the skin so it's not nearly as painful as one might anticipate," said Selman.
That's not the case at Therapy Central in Round Rock, where even the sign outside caution's patients of pain that's sometimes intense.
"It hurts a lot," said Heeney. "I would not be telling you the truth if it didn't. It's very, very painful."
In fact, Moench is affectionately known as Doctor Pain.
"I'd rather be called that than ineffective," said Moench.
Moench says the reality is that in a one-hour session, there's only about seven minutes of pain a patient has to endure. He says that pain quickly turns to a feeling of relief.
"If you can put up with seven minutes of discomfort, pain and you can walk out of here and not have the same debilitating pain and discomfort for decades, many times that's worth it," he said.
Heeney agrees.
"It's worth every moment of pain," she said. "Every single moment for me not to have migraines any more."
Moench says everything he does is in accordance with massage therapy guidelines. Despite numerous client testimonials, skepticism over his methods exist because he says some doctors and therapists simply can't believe that such a wide array of illnesses and conditions can be healed so rapidly.

New U.S.-EU accord means major changes for trans-Atlantic travel
Forget what you know about getting your groups to Europe. The Open Skies Agreement between the United States and the European Union, which went into effect earlier this year, will eliminate decades of restrictions on the trans-Atlantic airline market.
Under the accord, U.S. and EU airlines will be able to operate to and from any airport, and U.S. carriers will be able to fly within Europe and to continue on to other destinations. EU airlines have not won the right to operate intra-U.S. flights.
The rules have set off a grab for take-off and landing slots, with airlines on both sides of the Atlantic hoping to improve their market share.
Among the destinations most affected will be London's Heathrow airport, which, since 1977, has been operating under the Bermuda II agreement, which allows only four airlines — British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, American, and United — to fly between Heathrow and the U.S.
Here's a sample of the changes that Open Skies has set in motion:
In June, British Airways plans to launch a U.S.-EU subsidiary airline with daily flights from New York to either Brussels or Paris.
Delta — in partnership with Air France-KLM — will fly from Heathrow to New York and Atlanta, while Air France-KLM plans a new Heathrow-Los Angeles route.
Continental will be using Heathrow for the first time for flights from Newark, N.J., and Houston.
British Airways plans to move its Dallas and Houston flights from Gatwick to Heathrow.

Chelsea secure Europa title and Lamps' future in day of celebration
In a season of constant flux and surprises, not many of them pleasant, Chelsea's 2-1 win over Benfica in the UEFA Europa League final was perhaps the craziest game of what has been the campaign's craziest period.
A series of high-profile must-win games that has seen Manchester United, Tottenham and Aston Villa dealt with over the preceding days culminated in the acquisition of another piece of silverware albeit secured largely against the run of play. That Chelsea were second best on the pitch in terms of performance matters little in a final. It is the only the result that matters and on that score Chelsea came up trumps.
- Lampard signs new one-year deal
- Kundert: Cruel game - what now for Benfica?
- Delaney: Rafa's style the key to Europa triumph
- Brewin: Benitez eventually calls the tune
- Europa League final gallery
The fact that the decisive blow was struck deep into injury time at the end of the match will ensure that this victory will always hold a special place in the hearts of Chelsea fans. There is nothing quite like a last-minute winner. It is, quite simply, the very best thing in football. The visceral outpouring of joy amongst the blue half of the Amsterdam ArenA that greeted Branislav Ivanovic's winner betrayed the pent-up and keenly felt emotions amongst the travelling fans from London. When the ball hit the back of the net it seemed obvious that there was no time for Benfica to reply even if it took a tremendous last-ditch intervention from Gary Cahill to preserve that advantage. The moment the net bulged, the cup was won. The feeling was almost overwhelming.
It will never rival last year's Champions League final win over Bayern Munich, but it clearly meant much to the hordes who behaved impeccably - or as impeccably as you can in Amsterdam - both around the stadium and in the canal-side bars in the city centre. The atmosphere during the whole day was one of conviviality and celebration from both sets of fans. From a Chelsea perspective, it was difficult not to feel a tad sorry for those coming from Lisbon having been thwarted in sickening fashion right at the death. But unfortunately that is football, one man's unconfined joy is another's utter despair.
For Chelsea it means that their name is written that little bit larger in the annals of football history. They become just the fourth club to have won all three of UEFA's major cup competitions, joining Ajax, Bayern Munich and Juventus in that particular roll of honour. For all those, particularly in one half of Merseyside, who have sought to question Chelsea's past achievements while venerating their own, there is a banner now familiar around matches at home and away that perfectly encapsulates the difference between the two clubs. It pithily reads: "Chelsea. Making history, not re-living it." While that sentiment might feel somewhat triumphal, it is equally important that Chelsea's feats are respected rather than disparaged, a constant feature of opposition fans songs.
The constant flow of silverware should hopefully be slowly eroding those negative attitudes, though it must have some rival managers tearing their hair out. No matter how inconsistent Chelsea perform on the pitch or how many barmy decisions are made by Roman Abramovich or Michael Emenalo, the club keep picking up trophies. According to the allegory about the hare and the tortoise, "slow and steady" is supposed to win the race. For Chelsea that should probably read "haphazard and bonkers".
For the second European final in a row the Blues have come through a game that, on balance, they had little right to win. Benfica gave Chelsea a footballing lesson in the first 45 minutes, carving out chances at will. Their manager Jorge Jesus, a man who has never been particularly fond of English football or Chelsea in particular, bemoaned the fact that the best team lost. He was right, though it was due to their over-elaboration around and inside the penalty area together with a complete lack of cutting edge that they failed to emerge victorious. For all the pretty patterns and heart-stopping openings, Petr Cech barely had a save of note to make all game. There was a wonderful tip over from Oscar Cardozo's lofted shot but that was about it. Had the Portuguese side been just a fraction more direct and inclined to pull the trigger more often, then the game could have been decided in their favour by half time.
As has been the trend all season, Chelsea were much perkier after the interval, though were hardly a team-transformed. It seemed that Rafael Benitez had instructed his charges to meet fire with fire by pressing high up the field in order to win the ball back in dangerous areas. Benfica had done that brilliantly in the first half, either turning over possession quickly or forcing pressurised Chelsea players into making hurried passes straight back to the men in red. The table turned slightly in the second half which gave Chelsea a foothold in the game, a position that was exploited fantastically by Fernando Torres. The strength, poise, pace and composure that the Spaniard showed in brushing past Luisao before rounding the goalkeeper was forward play of the very highest calibre. When such glimpses are seen, suddenly his £50 million price tag appears justified. Should he be able to reproduce that on a regular basis then he might just pay that fee off in full, whether he will still be around to do so next season in another question.
One person who certainly will not be at Stamford Bridge when the new campaign kicks off is Benitez and the time has come for him to be commended, if not entirely lauded, for achieving the targets set out by him. Champions League football is assured and an addition made to the trophy cabinet. Perhaps a top four finish could have been secured earlier and surely the League Cup should also have been won given that just Swansea and Hull stood in their way. But effectively it is a case of job done. There was no singing of his name as he posed for photos on the pitch after the game but there was an acceptance of his contribution from a sizeable proportion of the Chelsea supporters in the stands with respectful applause rather that riotous adulation being afforded to the controversial figure.
As if there was not enough to celebrate, Chelsea fans then woke to hear the news that Frank Lampard has signed a one-year-extension to his contract. Only the short-sighted or downright curmudgeonly would begrudge the veteran a new deal after yet another season where he has made a significant mark. His role might have diminished since his halcyon days, and he is no longer guaranteed a starting spot, though he remains a hugely influential figure and his acceptance of his new circumstances illustrates his humility perfectly as well as his genuine love for the club.
Lampard simply had to be retained in some capacity and when his playing days are officially over it is paramount that he is kept on behind the scenes so that young players can see firsthand what is required if you are to make it to the top of the world game and stay there. His professionalism is renowned throughout the game, his dedication always there to see when he takes the field and yet again he played his part in a victorious final. Along with his team-mates, he had been given the run around by Benfica's skilful midfield in the opening exchanges, though he began to make his presence felt in the second half.
As Chelsea grew in stature, Lampard was a matter of inches away from settling the game in his own trademark fashion only to see his sweetly struck shot from outside the area thud off the crossbar with the goalkeeper beaten. It can be said with confidence that Chelsea will be making waves in the transfer market this summer, which is essential if the tea are to progress. That might limit Lampard's opportunities still further though it is also likely to give him another chance to win silverware. And should that happen you can be certain that the English international's contribution will be right at the forefront once again.
The final match of this insane season will take place on Sunday and it will do so on the backdrop of yet more glory. It is a continually eventful and enthralling ride supporting Chelsea, whether for the right or wrong reasons. It is never dull, not for one minute. Ivanovic's perfectly timed header made sure that legacy remains intact.

The deal to avert the "fiscal cliff" was a "missed opportunity" but politicians shouldn't use the debt-ceiling debate to force greater spending cuts and entitlement reform, Erskine Bowles, co-chair of President Barack Obama's 2010 debt commission, told CNBC on Friday.
"This was a magic moment to do something really big about our long-term fiscal problems," Bowles said in a "Closing Bell" interview.
Although the economy averted draconian tax hikes and spending cuts that would have caused "some real devastation," the former Clinton administration official said the $625 billion in additional revenues from the deal is only a start to solving the country's fiscal problems.
(Read More: Despite 'Cliff' Deal: 'Nothing Really Has Been Fixed')
(Read More: US Now Faces Even 'Tougher' Debt Crisis: Sen. Shelby)
"We've talked about revenue a lot in the last several months," he said, "but we haven't talked nearly enough about reducing the cost of entitlements, slowing the rate of growth of health care to the rate of growth the economy, making Social Security sustainably solvent, really stabilizing the debt so we can put it on a downward path as a percent of GDP."
Although Bowles said spending and entitlement reform are needed to fix the country's long-term debt problem, he pushed back against using the debt ceiling as a bargaining chip in the negotiations.
"I hope to high heaven these guys don't mess around with the full faith and credit of the U.S. government," he said. "Using the debt ceiling is the wrong place to draw the line in the sand."
Instead, Bowles said the end of the sequester in two months and the end of the continuing resolution where the government could shut down are better levers to pull to force the administration and Congress to "take some responsible action."
While President Obama has been reluctant to cut spending and reform entitlements, he has proposed $375 billion in cuts over the next decade. But that doesn't go nearly far enough, Bowles said.
(Read More: Obama Now Has Less Leverage: Former OMB Director)
Bowles and his co-chair on the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform Alan Simpson crafted the Simpson-Bowles deficit-reduction plan, which called for $3 trillion in spending cuts.
"We've got to have at least that amount of cuts to put our fiscal house in order," he told CNBC.
