The only time we see a minister on your programme is when we have to hear the latest aspirations from their think tank. Whenever there are some real questions to answer there never seems to be a minister available. I'm getting very cynical of the whole main party system - maybe it's about time that the real members of the parties took power back so that we can get back to some sensible polices either left or right.G V Seymour, Ferndown
Jack Straw has made a lot over the killings in Uzbekistan but never mentions the thousands that have been killed, tortured and imprisoned for the last 50 years in Tibet by the Chinese, and even though it is still going on to this day all our government can be bothered about is the cheap clothing imported from China. Would it be possible for Mr Paxman to question Mr Straw about the Chinese illegal occupation of Tibet and their total disregard of human rights in that country?John Taylor, Leicester

Why did nobody mention bio-fuels in the nuclear debate? We've apparently just started paying farmers for not growing food. They'd love to be growing energy instead. If Brazil can successfully grow diesel fuel, why on earth can't we?Terry Richter, Chichester
My wife & I have been on an energy saving programme for years: more economic cars and less use; cycling to the shops; new improved roof insulation; double glazing; wear sweaters more (central heating set at 18C rather than 20C); showers rather than baths; new low energy kitchen machines; high efficiency combined boiler/central heating. Conclusion: Our energy use has declined by 50% in 10 years. Probably now at a level of 20% of a similar couple in the US!Paul Quinton
What was very clear from the debate was that the "experts" couldn't agree and the politicians wouldn't decide. Making no decision cannot be an option as the urgency of the climate situation, and the length of time it will take for abatement to influence climate change, means that action must be taken now. The options are clear - nuclear or renewables.Jon Atkinson, Leatherhead
Why is it that whenever renewables were mentioned this automatically flagged up wind power? This might be a more controversial form of renewables but there are certainly many more forms of renewable energy that weren't mentioned. Also, why is there such contempt for increasing efficiency? TVs left on standby use enough electricity to switch off one power station. Why not legislate to force manufacturers to include a mechanism that will turn my TV off after six hours? Apply it to stereos as well and think of all the electricity that could be saved. Finally, place more investment into solar energy, think of all the roof tops in the UK that could be used. As prices come down with the investment it can save a lot of energy.Christopher White, Newbury
I believe that nuclear power is the obvious medium-term solution to meeting our energy demands. However, any new nuclear power station building would have to be accompanied by an immovable commitment to replacing them with renewables at the end of their lifetimes, which is probably not going to happen.Peter Burgess, London
I realise there was limited space and time for guests, but could you not have mentioned that UKIP was the ONLY party from the top four to unequivocally back the nuclear option in its recent manifesto?Rob McWhirter, Guildford
At last the energy debate is back on. There is a problem - we are not going to meet our Kyoto targets (which are very low anyway) and we have to shut down 20% of our current "clean" generation capacity. We cannot wait. This is going to take everything we have, not just one technology. Thank you Newsnight for re-opening the debate!Digby Morrison, Loughborough
Tonight's programme on nuclear power carried info that offshore wind energy was more expensive than onshore. This is no longer true - technology unveiled at the Clean Energy Show two weeks ago will produce electricity offshore cheaper than onshore. It uses vertical axis rather than horizontal axis, a technology abandoned 15 years ago after the failure of a badly designed experimental unit designed for onshore generation rather than offshore.Richard Moseley, Cambridge
Having just seen the Science Museum interviews about nuclear power over renewable, I'm staggered that nobody's mentioned Hydrogen. We are going to have to rebuild our society along different lines anyway. Genetic engineering, nano-technology and computer technology are already doing this slowly. There are no guarantees of anything. All that we do know is that 'tomorrow's world' will look different and we sit at the point of making the best, bravest choice now.Roger Brown, Treforest, Wales
Why did Jeremy Paxman not ask the unthinkable question? What do windmills do when there is no wind? How do you replace their output? Therefore, how can their cost be calculated without including the cost of replacing their lost output on calm days? From an engineer who has to keep the lights on!David Beasant, Dunadry
Well done, Newsnight. Nuclear is not an easy or popular option but unless people are happy to use 25% less electricity per household or accept a 25% increase in greenhouse gas emissions, we have to take the tough decision to build new clean and efficient nuclear power stations. Keep asking the difficult questions and getting the politicians to look longer than four years into the future.Amanda Dales, Cheltenham
A tombola now? Please God no. And there was me thinking Jeremy looked uncomfortable reading the weather.Tess Read, London
Our local school is having a summer fair soon. As Jeremy has shown such an interest in tombolas I wonder if he would be available to give ours a spin? We could also run a pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey. Looking forward to your guess the weight competition of all presenters! Tess ReadTess Read, London
The weight of our presenters is likely to remain a matter for conjecture only.
It was stated that "Mr Paxman will be pulling six winning entries from our tatty tombola, live on air". In fact, Mr Paxman only pulled out five names from the tombola.Zara Hayat, United Kingdom
It is true that Jeremy unintentionally pulled out only five winners. The following morning we picked a sixth winner from the pile of entries that Jeremy took from the tombola while on air. Click here to read the names of the winners
Isn't it time we grew up a little concerning social issues in this country? Even Newsnight flags up the EP's vote on the 48-hour working week as "being dictated to" by Europe. What a strange dislike of forward planning we have in this country. We are disorganised, informal and flexible to a fault at work and, worst of all, do not focus on timekeeping, deadlines or quality of work as well as workers on the continent do. No wonder we Brits fall back (in desperation) on putting in overtime and working late. Our generally sloppy work practices require this - to the detriment of our own quality of life. And then, like ungrateful children, we blame the EU and the EP when they try to help us to organise our lives a little more professionally. What a damn shower we are. I wish you journalists could see this reality for what it is and give your reporting a different "spin". Anthony McCall-Judson, East Molesey
I would like to register my increasing frustration. It is now Tuesday evening at 11.03pm and I would like to be watching "real" Newsnight instead of the second airing of Reporting Scotland. I should have the facility to watch what the rest of Britain is watching via Realplayer, except the feed is stuck on the previous Friday's episode or "not available for copyright reasons". Please sort it out. It may not seem like a big issue, but I often miss items of international importance, only to have to make do with Parish politics.David Fraser, UK
We do occasionally have to edit portions of the programme when copyright restrictions don't allow us to play certain clips on the web. When this is necessary, the live stream is cancelled and an edited version posted on the website after the programme has aired. Until then, the previous edition of Newsnight remains online. We endeavour to ensure that this occurs as little as possible and apologise to our online viewers for any frustration caused.
Sir, it's incomprehensible that you have axed the British weather from your programme. But since you have decided in favour of the trivial financial markets you may consider including the euro-dollar rate as well. I would appreciate it.Brian Veltman, The Netherlands
Why aren't Newsnight viewers allowed to derive knowledge and understanding from those wonderful new BBC weather maps? It is obvious that such ground-breaking attention to detail and in-depth analysis befits a programme like Newsnight. Add Jeremy's or Kirsty's simple summary and I'm sure the maps would start to make sense to me. Come on Newsnight, let's have the markets, the weather and the papers all in the last five minutes of the programme. You know it makes sense.Neil Welton, Cardiff
I feel that the issue of proportional representation should be discussed on the programme. Didn't Labour promise us a referendum on the matter in their 1997 manifesto? I wonder why they changed their minds?Ian Charters, Bedfordshire
I have just watched a report about Banda Aceh on Newsnight. After 5 months, this is the first TV report I have seen that has given me any real feel for the scale of the disaster in Indonesia. This was a uniquely powerful and sensitive piece of work.Ian Henderson, UK
Despite much of the Westminster village being obsessed with Iraq, the voters in Henley were bored by the topic and were focused on such matters as house prices, education and health. They were turned off by the grandstanding by arrogant journalists on Newsnight led by Paxman trying to bully and belittle our politicians. Electors were more interested in the prospect of Boris [Johnson] being the next Doctor Who and by Saturday tea time I noticed the streets begin to clear as people went home to watch that TV programme.Nicholas Newman, Oxford
I watched Jeremy Paxman interviewing Francis Maude last night (12/05/05). What struck me most was that Paxman seemed determined to reduce the interview to the game he finds most enjoyable: asking questions to which he knows he will never get an answer and then belittling the interviewee for refusing to rubbish his colleagues. Maude simply refused to play this depressing, uninformative game that too many of your presenters demand. Have presenters such as Paxman, Humphries and Naughtie not got the message yet that this negative game is alienating so many from the entire political process? Sorcha Cusack, UK
Jeremy Paxman continues to hector, browbeat and bluster at his interviewees. Just how long is the BBC prepared to tolerate him? Last night (11.05.05) he reached his nadir in an interview with a Labour Party representative about the European bid to cut the working week in the UK. He asked of the European Labour Party representatives in the European Parliament: "have they had their brains removed?" This is intolerable.Douglas Rome, Dumfries
Out of pity for the poor man don't you think you could give Jeremy Paxman a comfortable seat to sit on for the Newsnight programme?Alan Anderson, Brussels
Excuse me! "Newsnight - it's the thinking man's Nationwide". What about the thinking woman, or don't we exist?Lin Thomas
If you used the subject line for the subject of the message rather than who the message is from (do we care?) you would find that more people would open it - more would recommend it to their friends - more people would watch Newsnight - and the world would become a better and more thoughtful place. All thanks to one subject line. Hooray.Theo Ratcliff
Theo Ratcliff [above] has a point but the comment "... who the message is from (do we care?) ..." is careless: spam (& worse) is a bane of internet life and also IF one has asked for the e-mail it makes sense to READ it. Mr James E Fox, Huddersfield

I am about to embark on a fishing trip to Lough Corrib, County Galway, Ireland. I would be grateful if you could let me know your predictions for the next 10 days or so. Many thanks.Rhys Thomas, Wales

Friday 07 March, 2014
The ongoing anti-government demonstrations in Bangkok remain peaceful and are taking place inside the Lumpini Park on Rama IV Road, the Government Complex on Chaeng Wattana Road, Ratchadamnoen Avenue and Phitsanulok Road (near Government House). During today, the anti-government demonstrators are mobilising demonstration marches to some areas in Bangkok as part of their campaigns for political reform before an election.
Bangkok remains under the state of emergency. The 60-day emergency decree, effective on 22 January 2014, currently covers Bangkok and some parts of nearby provinces (Nonthaburi and Samut Prakan) only and not any other destinations in Thailand. There is currently no curfew in place in Bangkok or any other parts of Thailand. Local residents and international visitors can continue to travel within Bangkok and other destinations in the country as usual.
It is business as usual in Thailand
While the demonstrations are taking place in a few small areas in Bangkok, life in the most parts of the Thai capital and throughout Thailand continues as usual. However, tourists are advised to be vigilant and avoid the demonstration areas, as well as areas where crowds may gather. This is because there may be traffic disruptions or delays and thus causing inconvenience.
Bangkok is a large city and so it is possible for local residents and international visitors to avoid the demonstration sites and rally routes. Traffic in the most parts of Bangkok is moving normally as almost all roads and expressways are not affected by the demonstrations.
All major tourist attractions in the Thai capital, including the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, the Grand Palace and the Temple of Dawn, are open normally. Tourists can visit all attractions using the usual means of transport, including buses, vans and car transfers by tour companies, taxis, the Skytrain, the subway or the boat and ferry service.
Businesses, including banks, petrol and gas stations, hotels, spas, restaurants, entertainment venues, cinemas, convention centres, shopping malls, superstores, convenient stores, pharmacies, hospitals and the like are open and operating as per normal. Telephone both landline and mobile and Internet services are available 24/7 as per normal.

Dramatic vintage engagement sesh
The stylish and glamorous Tony and Alicia knew they wanted to do something unique for their engagement photos. They wanted a look that was classy, vintage and radiated old world charm with a European sensibility. Finding the location, the unforgettable chandelier-lit Palazzo Lavaca in Texas, was half the battle. The Nichols would take care of the rest with their stunning shots. Cakelets, if T + A don't get married at this venue, can you? It's crazy gorge!
Because we know you'll want to know…those leopard pumps are from J.Crew Collection. Leopard print is the new black – it can go with anything, including a wedding gown. Don't you think?

Damon from Twitter @5150silverback asked, "Why do a lot of protein bars taste so bad?"
Protein bars are basically the fast food of supplements. They are a means to an end. If you are in desperate need of nutrition and can't make a high quality shake or down some clean food that's part of your nutrition plan, a protein bar is the last resort. Now I'm not exactly sure why they taste so bad but it may have something to do with the whey protein and all of the sweeteners used. Protein powder by itself doesn't taste phenomenal. I know because I've tried every single one on the market. To keep the protein powder low carb too, the manufacturers need to use artificial sweeteners such as Sucralose or aspartame. Neither of these taste phenomenal either and the combination of them with the powder seems to be the issue.
Now, take all that and stuff it into a bar that the general population thinks should taste like candy. At least, that's what appears to be marketable. So throw in some preservatives, hydrogenated oils, and other food particles and the result is a nutrition mess that tastes…well, not great. At least, usually that's the case. Keep in mind that if a protein bar DOES taste really good, it's most likely loaded with sugars, fats, and carbohydrates and probably shouldn't be a part of your diet. In my book, Body Spartan: Genesis, I literally dive into the nutritional facts on two major protein bars and discuss why they really should be an absolute last resort.
For the sake of your nutrition plan, you'd be better off simply packing some protein powder in a zip lock bag (or two) for the day and bringing a shaker cup with you. If carbs are a part of your nutrition plan, then toss in a little Karbolyn from All American EFX. It's a super high quality carb powder that restores your glycogen stores faster than most carb powders on the market. If you are going to use the Karbolyn, make sure you time it around strenuous activity since the purpose is to spike your insulin levels and maximize your protein uptake. Brian Cage wrote a fantastic article on this called, "The Anabolic Window". You can read it by clicking here.
If you are following a low or zero carb nutrition plan, similar to the 12-week anabolic shredding diet that's in my book, there's no need for carb powder. You will want to get some high quality fats though. You could try mixing in a tablespoon of olive oil in the shake or simply sticking an avocado in your lunch bag and eating a portion of it.
Hopefully that answered your question!
If you have questions about fitness, supplements, or nutrition you can contact me on Twitter via @gabetuft or you can contact the Body Spartan Team via @BodySpartan

Elon Musk Warns First Travelers to Mars: 'Good Chance You'll Die'
At South by Southwest, SpaceX Founder and CEO Elon Musk projected that his first Mars spaceship will be ready for short trips by the first half of next year. He did warn, however, that the first travelers to Mars would likely perish.
"For the early people that go to Mars, it will be far more dangerous," Musk told HLN on Monday. "I mean, really, it kind of reads like Shackleton's ad for Antarctica explorers: It's difficult, dangerous, good chance you'll die, excitement for those who survive."
This warning came after a positive declaration: "We are building the first ship, the first Mars or interplanetary ship right now and I think we'll be able to do short flights, short up and down flights, probably in the first half of next year," Musk predicted.
Musk referred to Ernest Shackleton, a polar explorer who led three British expeditions to the Antarctic and died in 1922. Shackleton is famous for putting out an advertisement in Britain's The Times, supposedly reading as follows:
MEN WANTED for hazardous journey, small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful, honor and recognition in case of success.
According to legend, this ad received a tremendous response rate — 5,000 men approached Shackleton wishing to risk life and limb for glory. The entrepreneur organization the Shackleton Foundation championed this ad on Twitter.

Italy gets a Maltese provider for online version of land-based casino
An Italian land based casino has entered the lucrative world of online gambling by creating its own online casino with the help of Maltese technology provider. The Casino Sanremo has announced the deal with Media Live of Malta, to provide a live dealer online casino for players to enjoy. That's a really brilliant move, considering that many land-based casinos struggle to compete with their digital opponents in an ever changing gambling world.
At present it is understood that the live casino hoping to be launched by the Italian land based casino, would certainly serve the same offerings as the Casino Sanremo and not be a separate entity entirely. It is thought that Media Live have been called in by the Casino SanRemo in order to utilize their live dealer gambling technology and to power a live dealer stream from inside the Casino Sanremo itself.
It is felt that there would be very few difficulties in the move happening, as the Maltese gambling technology provider is already in possession of an Italian AAMS license allowing them to produce online gambling software in the Mediterranean country. One key aspect of the live dealer technology is, for the Casino San Remo, to portray their live dealer in a utopia of beautiful settings and scenery designed to emphasize the beauty and significance of this popular, highly visited Italian land based casino.
As part of the agreement between the two parties, the Casino San Remo live dealer stream, will also be offered to other Media Live licensees, further generating interest in the Italian Casino and providing Media Live with extra interest also. The President of the Casino Sanremo, Giuseppe Di Meco, has hinted that future could be even bigger once the Casino Sanremo's online live dealer casino will be launched. He speculated that there could be many more games added to the site to give it a wider appeal in the near future.
The deal is said to also excite Media Live, who are anticipating a major response from the online community. Angelo De Gobbi, Sales and Marketing Manager at Media Live, has stated that online casinos may no longer be seen as rivals after the Casino San Remo live dealer goes online, and that the Casino Sanremo has shown considerable far-sightedness.

(BostonGlobe.com) – "It (vs. San Jose) was the third time this season that Beleskey (2-5—7 and minus-10 in 33 games) has been a healthy scratch. He missed six weeks with a knee injury, returned to action Jan. 20, but was pulled by Cassidy Feb. 11 after delivering only 0-2—2 in eight games. With the NHL's March 1 trade deadline fast approaching, the 28-year-old Beleskey and his $3.8 million cap hit would be a prime for a swap. Arizona could make for a prime partner in a Beleskey swap. The Coyotes likely will move Radim Vrbata, the 35-year-old Czech winger, who is on an expiring contract (with a $3.25 million cap hit)." – Kevin Paul Dupont
Let me start by saying that trade chatter is like gossipy soap operas for dudes. The what if's and "he said, but I heard" is what sports talk radio dreams are made of. But the hypothetical's that freely flow through Twitter and beyond rarely come true or do much good. Like talking about what you'd do with your Powerball winnings, I try to avoid getting involved in the fantasy GM discussions no matter how fun they can be.
That being said, regardless of any trade talk one has to at least wonder what's going on with Matt Beleskey this year. Is the injury he suffered hampering him? Is it just a slump? He's currently having an extremely forgettable season that's giving me déjà vu, as if he's Martin LaPointe 2.0 with a regrettable contract from years past.
Would Arizona, as Kevin Paul Dupont suggests, make sense as a trade partner? Sure. The Coyotes have shown they're willing to take on bloated or expiring big contracts to help their team hit the salary cap floor (ie: Datsyuk, Bolland). Radim Vrbata would make for a logical swap for cap and depth reasons. And Arizona could use a high energy forward who adds toughness and experience to a young team. But I'm not holding my breath that anything happens, or that Beleskey, who has a limited no-trade clause in his contract, is even dealt by the trade deadline.
It's unfortunate that Beleskey has been in a recent healthy scratch state. Any objective Bruins fan will tell you they've loved the effort he brings every night. He's a likable guy who really lays it on the line every single shift. Even last year when the Bruins seemed to quit when times got tough Beleskey was always balls to the wall. There's just no statistical payoff to show for his efforts. Finishing checks, skating hard, and simply looking like "a Bruin" isn't enough when you're owed $3.8 million per season through 2019-2020.
If Beleskey really is in play in the trade market then he needs to be in play on the ice. Teams need to see what he can do now and the Bruins need to put him on display. Bruce Cassidy's up-tempo offensive tweaks have seemed to make everyone elevate their game and Beleskey will get an opportunity to reap that benefit tonight against his former Ducks team as he returns to the ice. I do like the idea of injecting a fresh legged hungry player into the lineup amidst a run like one the Bruins are on. Let's hope it pays off for him and the team.
Beleskey has a week until the trade deadline to prove he's turning it around. And whether there's truth to any chatter around his name or not the Bruins brass should always be open minded to changes amongst their depth guys. Especially the ones recently parked in the press box that require tons of ink on their paychecks due for years to come.

Much of the talk from WWE's Night of Champions has centered around this particular incident:
For those of you keeping score, this isn't the first time this has happened. Earlier this year, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose got into similar fan alteractions, and Roman Reigns was hit by a briefcase tossed by a fan at a house show. Man, what the fuck is it with these Shield guys and fan interaction? You'd think that fans would have had enough of them by now, given that they used to spend all the time going through crowds.
Well, they are the Hounds of Justice, and justice has indeed been served. PWInsider has reported that Oscar Ramirez, 37, has been sentenced to 10 days' incarceration. He's been charged with criminal trespass of a property and building, for those interested.
I feel like now is the best time to whip out this video:
Seriously though, we here at the Smark Henry offices wonder: Is it really worth it to risk jail time (and the implications of that) just to say that you stood next to Roman Reigns? Doesn't that happen like, every week? I mean, sure, this is probably a story that you could tell your kids, but is it really worth the possibility of losing your job and facing legal fees?
It seems as if the WWE is going to make Ramirez an example and set the bar for what is and is not allowed of fans at live events. Personally, I think it's a good thing that such measures are being put into place. As much as fan participation is great and all, let's not forget that the wrestlers' safety is very important. Remember this incident Seth Rollins had before? Who knows what would've happened if that guy had a knife with him? Heck, what if Roman Reigns was seriously injured by that briefcase?
As smarks, we need to respect the craft the wrestlers put out in the ring. We can't just go on invading whenever we want. The WWE taking measures to prevent this is, as Triple H would say, best for business.

Is the end nigh for Christianity in the Middle East?
Amid the violence in the middle east, tolerance for other religions, such as Christianity continues to wane. In fact, many fear that Christianity will soon vanish from the region where the faith was born. We talk about the difficulties Eastern Christians face with Jamil Khoury, an Arab Christian and Silk Road's artistic director and Nairee Haopian, an Armenian-American Christian.

This is a self-help book with a difference. It is the result of the hybridization of philosophy and psychology. The author is a professional philosopher who also studied Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) under Albert Ellis. He then came up with his own variant which he calls Logic-Based Therapy (LBT). This is a self-help improve-your-life approach to human behavior which sets out to help us behave in a way which, because it is based on logic and reason, is likely to lead to happiness.
The author comes up with what he calls the eleven transcendent virtues which he names as: metaphysical security: feeling secure in an imperfect universe; courage: confronting evil and growing stronger; respect: learning to refuse to damn the whole because of an error in a part; authenticity: being your own person; temperance: learning to control oneself; moral creativity: learning to separate what one really ought to do from what it is not necessary to do; empowerment: avoiding all forms of manipulating others; empathy: finding ways of avoiding egocentric perspectives and making genuine connections with others; good judgment: avoiding polarization; foresightedness: avoiding over-optimism and pessimism and ensuring that risks are reasonably assessed; and scientificity: looking at why things are as they are. There is a chapter on each of the eleven transcendent virtues detailing several antidotes to the vices which are the opposites of the virtues.
The author makes some extremely good points and his LBT should enable people to lead much happier lives so long as they accept one fundamental premise which is that happiness is very different from pleasure. Happiness is a close relative of contentment and serenity and, although people often think of pleasure as a member of this family, in practice pleasure is an unruly member. Pleasure can, unless well regulated, destroy happiness, contentment and serenity. So long as the reader is prepared to accept that premise then this book could be an extremely good guide to how to live a happy/serene/contented life. There has been a great deal of literature written on the subject of happiness from Aristotle's philosophical disquisition on what he termed eudaimonia to modern psychological studies such as Michael Argyle's The Psychology of Happiness (London and New York: Routledge, 1987). The book under review is very much within the philosophical tradition rather than the psychological but its approach is valid and compelling.
The author has what is for this reviewer one irritating habit – the tendency to employ and even create jargon -- words such as "can'tstipation". Other readers may be less irritated by this habit and they certainly should not be put off because this book is genuinely useful. A whole lot of people would be a great deal happier if they realized that pleasures add to happiness only if they fall within certain rational parameters. Pleasures outside of those parameters actually detract from happiness in the long run. The author also makes it clear that we humans tend to have a fairly large number of self-defeating mechanisms. He does a very good job of exposing them and giving us the mechanisms to avoid them in the future.
This is a genuinely useful book that deserves a wide readership. It could help a lot of people become a great deal happier.

"I want to make the patient healthier in general. I care about making people well, not just fixing a specific problem. I'm interested in more natural modalities—physical therapy, sleep and nutrition—and I think patients are, too. You have to have an integrated and modern approach for that to happen, and that's what we practice." – Dr. Romano
At Romano Orthopaedic Center, our guiding philosophies are quite simple: Do what's right for the patient; do our best to avoid surgery if possible; when necessary, ensure the patient has the right preparation for surgery and the right care post-surgery.
Romano Orthopaedic Center takes a holistic approach to medicine and patient care. We specialize in Orthopaedic Surgery, Sports Medicine and a number of other disciplines. For over 20 years, we have taken care of general orthopaedic ailments for the Greater Chicago area, from kids to the elderly.
We always take the time to make sure we completely understand the unique circumstances and situation of our patients. We treat the obvious problem, but if the source of the pain is elsewhere, we will address that as well. We use cutting-edge technology in our surgical procedures, and ensure that every patient receives the highest quality orthopaedic care.

As part of our mission at Soap Hope, we invest 100% of our profits into programs that support and empower women around the world. One of those programs is PeopleFund, which was founded here in Texas in 1994.
The state of Texas has long been lauded as one of the best states to start a small business. With low taxes, low cost of living, and a high job growth rate, it's an ideal environment for entrepreneurs to thrive.
But the resources that might be available to Texans aren't always accessible to everyone who want to start a business.
Enter PeopleFund, a microlending program and business assistance nonprofit that provides small business loans to those with limited access to resources.
The PeopleFund Mission
Since being founded in 1994 in Austin, Texas, the financial and educational assistance PeopleFund provides "has helped create thousands of jobs and empowered an even greater number of Texans on a path to financial stability and independence."
PeopleFund not only issues small business loans to the underserved, but also offers business education and a host of workshops and programs to support the entrepreneurs that are participating.
According to their mission, the goal of PeopleFund " is to give people the opportunity to turn their talents into a sustainable livelihood and achieve financial stability for themselves and their families."
Andrea's Story
Andrea Thomas is a savvy and resourceful business owner, here in Dallas, Texas. Her background as an architect — full of long hours and high demand — was preparation for an even more intense vocation: being a mother.
Andrea is a devoted parent, and when her daughter developed eczema, she knew she had to do something about it — and that's how ScratchMeNots was born.
ScratchMeNots are designed to be worn as a cardigan, and were originally created to prevent children from scratching themselves. The clothing is also made from certified organic cotton and bamboo, for kiddos with sensitive skin.
When Andrea realized she needed capital to help grow her business, she turned to PeopleFund.
The financing that Andrea received allowed her to not only invest in more inventory, but she was able to respond her immediate customer demand, so that ScratchMeNots could meet its projected goals.
"PeopleFund has helped us gift parents with peace and their children with relief," says Andrea.
And we're thrilled here at Soap Hope to work with PeopleFund so that we can tackle widespread issues and continue empowering women — at home and abroad.

The Detroit emcee's sophomore album is on the horizon.
Big Sean recently caught up with Sway Calloway of Shade 45 to discuss Eminem's involvement on his highly anticipated Hall Of Fame album, among other things. Unfortunately, he made no mention of any direct musical collaboration during his studio session with Em.
"We talked for like three hours (in the studio) before we played any music," said Sean. "Then he was like alright, I guess I've got time to hear a couple songs... And then when it was all said and done he was like, 'I've never been so impressed or surprised about an album. This one is gonna be big for you.'"
This is pretty much all the information he provided on the topic, regrettably. When Kanye West was brought up, Sean wished the G.O.O.D. Music boss well and defended his baby's name. "People try and talk shit about that name," he said. "I feel like if I met a pretty girl and she came up to me and said, 'Hi my name is North,' I'd be like, 'Oh, shit, what's up?'"
The Detroit emcee also mentioned he might have a son in the future with his current girlfriend, Naya Rivera.
Whether Eminem will appear on Hall Of Fame remains to be seen. Peep the full interview below.

One of the most recognised forms of massage, Swedish massage is a very versatile treatment which can range from gentle and relaxing, to firm and invigorating. The secret of a good Swedish massage is the consultation which enables the therapist to put together a tailor-made therapy which is right for you at that time.
The versatility of this treatment means that its suitability spans all areas of therapy and is equally suitable for a gentle pampering session, as it is for a post exercise sports event.
Many of the other therapies are based on the Swedish system so this is a good starting point if you have not had a massage previously.

Part One: Find Another Word
So I've had more than one straight person tell me about how calling something "gay" to denote its unworth is not intended as a slur against LGBT people. It had sort of faded recently, or at least I thought it had due to the efforts of clever and widespread campaigns against it, until I heard a story a couple weeks ago on NPR about GLBT on television, and heard the following line from a recent TV show, delivered by a gay character. "Even I think rollerblades are gay, and I had sex with a dude last night." (More on that story in part 3)
Really? So the vaunted surge in Gay Presence On Television is simply another way for people to use "that's so gay" as a slur. Thanks. This simply adds legitimacy to the idea that saying something is "gay" as a negative is not a slur.
I'm going to go ahead and say this now. It is.
It is.
If you want to say something is bad, say it's bad. If you want to say something is stupid or unpopular or you just don't like it, just say so. Just say so. I just ask you don't say it in a way that says to me that I am stupid or unpopular or represent something you don't like.
Hey, you've said it for years. It just slips out sometimes. Look, I am not going to hate you for that! But please think, next time it slips, that you may be hurting someone. Because I know you personally, because you're my friend, I know that you are not hating on me. But among the 900-odd people who read your Facebook comment that someone's new football-themed song spells "G.A.Y., hahaha" may very well be people who will. Or there may be someone else who reads it, who doesn't think it's funny at all. Someone who is still hiding from the world.
Let me put it this way. Would you walk up to me and call me a f****t to my face, knock me down, egg my house or slash my tires because my idea of what (and who) is sexy is partially different from yours? Of course not.
So why is it OK to send the message to others that it is?
I know you meant no harm.
But I need for you to know that, in my eyes, you have contributed to the problem rather than being part of the solution. Hey, it's not your problem, you're straight, tolerant — you've put up with me all these years! — and a damned good friend to me and my family. It's not you I'm worried about — it's those who will read your words and take it as one more validation of their license to discriminate. I know, as a sure fact, that if we were walking down the street, and someone called me a name, you'd be the first person to go medieval on their ass, put them in their place. It would be Fight Night. It's the people I don't know, who look at your words as a model of appropriate behavior, that I worry about.
It hurt me. It made me feel like, for at least a moment, you forgot that I and people like me are real human beings. It made me say, "If even the people I like and trust (because I do trust you) feel free to continue to use the mental construction that gay=bad, then what will the people I don't know do?"
I know I'm not perfect. I know I say stupid things sometimes. I know I can be a little touchy about things. But I don't think I am out of line here to ask you, please,
if I am your friend,
don't equate gay with bad, or useless, or distasteful, or unfair.
Part Two: Sources
Here's a question – where does this even come from? Why does the word "gay" get used as a slur?
It's homophobia, and even deeper, it's about gender and masculinity. No one uses "That's so lesbian" as a slur, as an insult for things that have nothing whatsoever to do with sexual orientation. But as I and many others have noted before, the worst thing that a person can be called in this culture is a woman.
Bet you thought this was going to be a long section! But it's pretty simple, really.
Part Three: More Assimilationism
The story on NPR I referenced earlier noted that the new Gay Presence On Television features almost exclusively upper- or upper-middle-class white gay men living urban or suburban lives with reasonable security and babies (or as the story calls them, "gaybies" – to which my partner turned to me and said "You've got to be kidding me. They're just babies. Babies are babies. You put milk in one end and try to keep the other end dry").
This is the triumph of assimilationism, of the forces within the LGBT movement (and let me state that this is something that comes from the L and the G, not from the B and the T, who get erased by this) that have chosen the "We Are Just Like You Except In A Very Trivial Way" approach to acceptance. Sure, it's worked for those who can and do blend in seamlessly with dominant culture (and the upper half of the economic stratum within that culture) in everything but the gender of their partner.
The story was a good one, in that it mentioned that bisexuals, trans*folk, queer people of color, and queer poor people are marginalized (or exoticized, a particular type of marginalization that women of color are especially familiar with) in the media.
Because we don't fit. Because the gay or lesbian couple with a house in the 'burbs, white picket fence, catdog, kid(s), and discreet rainbow triangle on the mailbox are only allowed, only tolerated, as long as they remain exactly like all the straight people on the block (except for that tiny, trivial difference).
Know what? It's not trivial. Stonewall wasn't about people rising up to say "Let me blend in." It was about people who were transgressing societal norms saying "Let me be me."
You know the mantra of the assimilationist tendency. "Quit being so Gay. Quit being so Bi. Quit being so Trans*. Quit being so Black. Quit being so [whatever]. If you resemble anything but straight, White, upper- or upper-middle-class, quit doing whatever it is you do, because it makes me uncomfortable that you may be different than what I've been raised to think is right and proper. Maybe you're a socialist. Maybe you're a pervert. Maybe you're a slut. Maybe you're not going to buy into the daily BS that we pretend is OK, the way things are, the cost of doing business. Maybe you won't find rape jokes funny. Maybe you're going to start acting like women should be treated as adult human beings. Maybe you're going to rock the boat. I mean, this may be the second decade of the 21st Century, but it's still the 1950s around here."

It doesn't matter what are of business you are in, you will really need to get to know your audience in order to offer products or services that are specifically aimed at them. Knowing your audience is something you will need to do if you wish to be successful in any business. With the online world having a whole array of information and tools, there are a number of ways you can get to know your audience using the internet and here are some of the best:
- Industry market research – Chances are that you will not be the only company in your industry and you will probably even have some competition. One of the ways of getting to know your audience is to analyse what other companies are doing and there are also a number of websites to help you analyse specific industries. Websites such as eMarketer.com will offer paid reports on industries and they do all the hard work for you. There are a number of these websites offering reports and one that you can use for yourself is The Internet Time Machine; this offers trend reporting software.
- Social Media – Using social media websites offers a lot of ways of finding out about your industry. There will be companies out there using social media to keep their customers updated and you can find out a lot from their updates. You can also ask your customers exactly what they want directly as websites like Facebook and Twitter provide ways for you to communicate directly with customers and potential customers.
- Website feedback – This is a really easy tip to implement and it can be very insightful. Adding a comments box to your website or some other kind of way for customers to give you feedback will allow you to hear what customers like and what they don't concerning your business. These can be implemented form sites like GetSatisfaction and Uservoice.
It is important to make use of these tips as they are quite simple and do not require a lot of implementation time. At the same time, their insights can be very useful.

Dr. Kiick`s group investigates the synthesis, characterization, and application of biologically inspired and biologically produced materials. Dr. Kiick is exploring the uses of protein- and peptide-based materials, and self assembled networks in a variety of diverse applications, such as therapeutic treatments of cardiovascular disease, injectable vocal fold therapies, wound healing, and chemotherapies. These projects exploit the control of polymer architecture afforded by protein engineering methods to permit synthesis of advanced materials for specific applications, and they employ a varied combination of materials synthesis and characterization methods. Protein engineering strategies are used to produce designed protein materials; biochemical methods are employed for protein purification; chemical methods are used to modify the proteins with appropriate ligands. Immunochemical assays, scattering methods, optical microscopy, electron microscopy, and cell culture are also utilized as appropriate to characterize these polymeric systems. The production of these unique macromolecular systems will expedite the development of new biomaterials and therapeutic strategies.

Drug delivery
During viral infections, in which many pathogens bind to the extracellular matrix (ECM), delivery from a scaffold promotes localized, sustained release and protection based on the interaction with the ECM. Our goal is to engineer delivery systems that similarly harness ECM interactions to induce high efficiency drug delivery vehicles. To this end, we are producing a variety of collagen-modified nanoparticles and demonstrating their interactions with ECM components for delivery.
Elastomeric materials for regenerative medicine
Inspired by the outstanding mechanical properties of natural resilin, we have engineered a library of resilin-like polypeptides (RLP) for applications in regenerative medicine. Through the introduction of specific biomimetic amino acid sequences, the RLPs are endowed with proteolytic, cell binding and heparin sequestration properties that mimic the function of natural tissues. These RLPs can be cross-linked through small molecule cross-linkers, as well as PEG macromers, utilizing a variety of different chemistries. Our RLP hydrogels have been shown to be highly resilient and cyto-compatible. Currently, we are investigating these materials for vocal fold and cardiovascular applications.
Polymeric nanostructures
The aim of this project area is to use polymer-peptide hybrid materials that show controlled assembly that can be used both as vehicles for delivery and models of protein aggregation. Both peptide and polymer components provide functionality to the materials, which are produced by a variety of controlled polymerization and "click" chemistry methods. Peptide-polymer conjugates, comprising peptides from structural proteins such as elastin and collagen, have demonstrated (triggered) assembly into nanoparticles and fibers. We anticipate great versatility in these approaches, as a wide variety of different polymer and peptide segments could potentially be employed to fine-tune the properties and functionality of the hybrid material.
Hybrid Inorganic-organic nanomaterials
Solution and self-assembly of peptides or block copolymers are excellent ways to build exciting, new materials that can serve as templates for the assembly of inorganic materials. One can build arrays of particles or layers of desired materials with nanoscale precision through simple solution formation mechanisms. Current work is focused on production of layered materials with impact on the field of plasmonics and the production of exotic nanoparticles for impact on environmental applications.
Redox-sensitive hydrogels
Hydrogel nanoparticles (nanogels), composed of hydrophilic polymers that are lightly cross-linked, have a high degree of porosity that allows encapsulation of therapeutics and also high water content that contributes to biocompatibility. The dimensions of the nanoparticles may be tuned to the appropriate size range for passive tumor targeting via enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect while their surfaces can be chemically modified with targeting moieties for active cellular targeting or with functional groups that are available for drug conjugation. In this project, we are producing PEG-based hydrogel nanoparticles via thiol-maleimide Michael-type addition reactions. By taking advantage of the surface versatility of the hydrogel nanoparticles and the reversibility of engineered Michael-type adducts pioneered in our group, the materials represent very promising nanocarriers for targeted chemotherapies.

"I know who my friends are. What's confusing us is how the Web is strengthening our loose ties" –Jeff Dachis, founder of Razorfish
David Armano heard the above words at SXSW this year.
This struck a chord with me. Most of us intuitively know who our friends are. They're the ones we feel comfortable around, they accept us for who we are yet challenge us to be better, they help us get through difficult times and stick around when others have left. These are our friends. But, with networks we have access to more individuals then ever before in history. We know when they are sick, when they are traveling and even when they've lost a loved one. Some of us stay in constant communication with people who would have normally been considered "loose ties", people we've met at an event, a party, a former co-worker, or college friend. These ties can become strengthened and feel like something more than they used to be. And of course, they can turn into friendships at any given time. So while most of us know "who our friends are", it's likely that we're also managing our relationships in ways that allow us to scale. The loose ties become strengthened, while we may rely on social networks even less for our "inner circle" of friends.
What I find interesting is how an individual soc net, Twitter say, promotes one level of intimacy whereas another service, say Facebook, might not.
I'm way more promiscuous on Twitter than I am on Facebook. In fact, I've recently been seeing FB as a place to maintain a relatively tight circle of real past and present friends. That's not what Twitter is at all. Twitter is a giant, constantly moving conversation. At a big party like Twitter you don't necessarily need to know the person to start up a conversation. I don't feel that way about interacting on Facebook. Facebook is more of a house party where everyone knows everyone.

Should have kept going
The moral of the story this week was don't stop, don't be lazy. Rather than follow my plan, I felt sleeping in and not running much was a good idea. I ran Tuesday and Wednesday, but skipped Thursday and my weekend run. Sure, getting rest the week before the marathon is important, but I think I took it to the extreme. Seven miles in one week just isn't enough. Oops!
But I had a lot of fun this weekend! Friday night was a Halloween party, one of the best parties of the year in my opinion. The hosts go all out with food, decorations and jello shots; it takes place in a former brothel-turned-dive bar; proceeds go to charity. All in all, a great event. Myself and two friends dressed up as the Beastie Boys. Let's just say that when the DJ put on "No Sleep Til Brooklyn" everyone went nuts. We brought the house down.
Ended up staying out until 3AM. Ouch. Saturday we had a baby shower for a good friend of ours. Rather than your typical, staid shower in someone's living room, we did it Downtown Style. Games, prizes and lots of fun. There was Pin The Sperm On The Egg, baby bottle chugging and speed diaper wrapping. I won the baby word scramble and got a $25 gift card to one of my favorite gastropubs. Thanks Sap!
Here's a pic of me doing the baby bottle chug. I am trying very hard to keep it together and not vomit. I was in no shape to be drinking again.
After that, we all hung out for the rest of the night, watching football. That worked out poorly for some (sorry Ole Miss fans!) and good for others (yay Buckeyes!). Home at 11, where I promptly slept until…..Monday. Not really, but I didn't really get out of bed on Sunday.
Tuesday. 4 miles
Wednesday. 3 miles
Thursday. Oops
Weekend. Oops
This last week is officially marathon week! Very excited and nervous. All of my posts this week will be dedicated to marathon prep, logistics and training thoughts.

To George Washington from Jonathan Trumbull, Sr., 8 August 1775
From Jonathan Trumbull, Sr.
Lebanon [Conn.] 8th Augt 1775
I received your favour of the 4th instant,—Observe the contents—The new Levies will come into camp in a short Space—save that on the present Emergency, so large a fleet appearing on our Coasts—I have Ordered Colo. Webb to leave one Captain with his Company at New-Haven for the present—In Addition to one quarter part of the Trained Soldiers of five of our Regiments lying on the Sea Coasts and Sound, to be officered, equip't and in readiness to march at Minutes Warning.1
Yesterday letters were sent to our Commissaries to buy up all the Toe Cloath in this Government for the purpose you mention—The Pattern will be sent from one to another that sutable persons may be employed to make up the Same, to be forw⟨arde⟩d as is directed.
It gave me pain to read your next paragraph not having it in my power to afford further assistance although it is hoped for, & expected every Day.2
But I have now the relief and pleasu[r]e to congratulate you, on the supplies coming to you and going to Ty— & Crown Point.3 I am, with great Esteem and Regard Sir Your most Obedient humble Servant
Jonth. Trumbull
ALS, DLC:GW; LB, Ct: Trumbull Papers.
1. For accounts of the British fleet off the Connecticut coast, see Norwich Committee of Correspondence to GW, 7 Aug. 1775, and Trumbull to GW, 7 Aug. 1775, n.2. Part of Col. Jedediah Huntington's newly raised 8th Connecticut Regiment joined the Continental army outside Boston on 9 Aug. (General Orders, that date), but Col. Charles Webb's 7th Regiment and the last companies of Huntington's regiment apparently did not arrive until sometime during the latter part of September (Trumbull to GW, 15 Sept. 1775). The five regiments on the seacoast were militia units (Trumbull to GW, 7 Aug. 1775).
2. Trumbull is referring to GW's request for powder, lead, and flints. See GW to Trumbull, 4 Aug. 1775. On 7 Aug. Governor Trumbull and his council sent a letter to Col. Jabez Hamlin, asking him to inform them "of his progress in collecting and sending salt petre and sulphur, to New York, to be made into gun powder" (Hinman, Historical Collection description begins Royal R. Hinman, comp. A Historical Collection, from Official Records, Files &c., of the Part Sustained by Connecticut, during the War of the Revolution. Hartford, 1842. description ends , 329).
3. The Connecticut delegates at Philadelphia informed Trumbull in a letter of 28 July 1775 "that about Thirteen Tons of Powder has arrived in this City within a few Days which was sent for by this Congress since their arrival at this place about 6 Tons more is expected every day, the 13 Tons is forwarded to and partly on the way to our Army at Cambridge. We have also received Two Tons & a half from South Carolina which is forwarded directly to General Schuyler which will with what has been sent him before give him we believe about four or five Tons, further Supplies are expected in the several Provinces" (Smith, Letters of Delegates description begins Paul H. Smith et al., eds. Letters of Delegates to Congress, 1774–1789. 26 vols. Washington, D.C., 1976–2000. description ends , 1:672–73). Congress voted on 25 July to send 6½ tons of gunpowder to GW and on 2 Aug. another 5 tons. See Richard Henry Lee to GW, 1 Aug. 1775, n.3. The first of this gunpowder arrived at Hartford on 11 Aug. (Trumbull to GW, 11, 12 Aug. 1775). The 2½ tons for Schuyler's army at Ticonderoga and Crown Point was approved on 28 July (Roger Sherman to William Williams, 28 July 1775, in Smith, Letters of Delegates description begins Paul H. Smith et al., eds. Letters of Delegates to Congress, 1774–1789. 26 vols. Washington, D.C., 1976–2000. description ends , 1:674–76).

Merchant Marine Myths: 9 common myths about the Merchant Marines
A career in the Merchant Marines doesn't usually come to mind when considering career paths. Many folks either aren't aware of the opportunities a seafaring career offers or they've heard too many untoward stories about the lifestyle. Ask any Merchant Marine you meet a question about their profession, and you can bet he or she has already answered the same question 1,000 times before.

Harris English to WIN (15-1, $100 to win $1500): Oh Harris my Harris. He seems to like this course and has been playing great golf recently. He won he 2011 Southern Amateur on this track and finished T-7 last year. If the season ended today, the only thing missing on his player of the year resume would be a win. I also liked how he battled at Doral. He shot a 77 in the wind on Friday but battled back with a 74 and a 72 for a T-16. I think he gets it done this weekend.
Jordan Spieth to WIN (16-1, $100 to win $1,600): I'm jumping back on the Speith train. He actually has course history at Innisbrook with a T-7 (tied with Harris). I don't think Jordan handled the wind very well at Doral (captain obvious) with a 79 in the bad conditions, but like English, he battled back with 73 and closed with a 69 to finish T-34 last weekend. I wish there was a line for an English-Spieth final group.
Cameron Tringale to WIN (55-1, $50 to win $2,750): Cameron also fits the profile. He was a solo 3rd here last year and shot a 66 on Sunday (did something click?) He's made six straight cuts and has been in the top 13 in three out of his last four. He seems like a guy who could surprise and win here.
Bryce Molder to WIN (65-1 $25 to win $1,625): I'm 'Cised for Bryce this week! Bryce is 6 for 6 in cuts this year and has finished in the top 10 in his last 2 tournaments. He hasn't played since the Northern Trust in early February, but that may be a good thing? He's been OK here in the past, T-20 in 2012 and aT-30 in 2013, but last year he played 4 of those rounds in the 60's.
Billy Hurley III to WIN (250-1, $25 to win $6,250): Sure, you probably don't know who his is and as you've probably predicted this is his first start at Innisbrook, but this guys looked really good going solo 5th at the Honda and has made 6 of 8 cuts this year. You want stats? Ok. He's inside the top 25 in GIR, driving accuracy, scoring average, scrambling and sand saves. Look, I'm not looking for much at 250-1, but he's as good a lottery ticket as any.

G1.04, Building G
Monash University Caulfield campus
FREE /// No bookings required
Christian Thompson will discuss his recent practice and current exhibition at MUMA, Ritual intimacy, in a session introduced and convened by Charlotte Day, Director MUMA.
Co-curated by Day and Hetti Perkins, Christian Thompson: Ritual intimacy is the first survey exhibition of one of Australia's leading Indigenous artists. Thompson, of the Bidjara people, works across photography, video, sculpture, performance and sound to explore notions of identity, race and Australia's colonial history. He will discuss the breadth of his practice, both in the media he employs and in the works he has made for Australian and European contexts, including the use of his own image to present ideas about identity and the collision of cultures, along with his audio and video works that celebrate language and gesture through performance, sound and song.
Exhibition dates: 27 April – 8 July 2017
