Thanos' victory in Avengers: Infinity War wasn't the result of any one decision (although Star-Lord certainly challenges that), but had Iron Man done one thing differently early on in the film, it's possible that half the universe could have been saved. That decision? Tony Stark, Doctor Strange and Spider-Man should have returned to Earth instead of continuing on to Titan.
After the attack on New York City by the Black Order, Iron Man and Spider-Man stowed away on Ebony Maw's ship as it escaped Earth. The Maw had kidnapped Doctor Strange and planned to torture him until he surrendered the Time Stone. After Iron Man and Spider-Man blew Ebony Maw out into space, Stark and Strange then argued about the best course of action: Strange wanted to return to Earth to keep the Time Stone away from Thanos, while the billionaire futurist, haunted by Thanos, decided to continue onwards to Titan and take Thanos by surprise. But what if Doctor Strange was right and Stark made the wrong decision? Avengers: Infinity War could have turned out very differently.
Now, directors Joe and Anthony Russo and screenwriters Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus obviously made their story choices for specific reasons, writing Avengers: Infinity War to give Thanos ultimate victory, and the Titan move makes sense within that. But, taking inspiration from Marvel's "What If?" comics, how would a different Tony Stark decision in Act I have altered the movie?
The most immediate change to Avengers: Infinity War had Tony Stark, Doctor Strange, and Spider-Man returned to Earth would have been the Avengers being at full power. Stark would have had to swallow his pride and reunite with Steve Rogers, but that's a minor hurdle; by the time he returned, Rogers, Black Widow, and the Falcon would have still saved Scarlet Witch and Vision from Corvus Glave and Proxima Midnight in Scotland and gone "home". It's likely Stark's group and Rogers' Secret Avengers would have reunited there, regardless of what Secretary Ross feels.
If upon seeing each other again, Tony and Steve could get on the same page (and with the fate of the universe at stake, they would have gotten past their issues, at least for now), the Avengers would most likely have reached the same plan: take Vision to Wakanda to have Shuri attempt to remove the Mind Stone from his head. But the big difference here is that the Avengers and the Wakandan forces would be defending twoInfinity Stones: the Mind Stone and the Time Stone. It's also possible that Tony would have used his political influence over the Sokovia Accords to get Clint Barton out of house arrest and into the fight, which would have brought Hawkeye into the movie. The same could have happened with Ant-Man as well, but Barton would have been a more likely call-up in order to assemble all of the Avengers.
Along with cool moments like Tony Stark meeting Shuri (and Peter Parker meeting Shuri), the Avengers would have been in a much stronger position to fight the Black Order's army with Iron Man, Doctor Strange, and Spider-Man (and also Hawkeye) on the field.
Meanwhile, Thanos' adventures in outer space would have continued unabated: he would still have bested the Guardians on Knowhere to take the Reality Stone from the Collector and kidnapped Gamora. Father and daughter would have still traveled to Vormir, encountered the Red Skull, and Thanos would have still sacrificed Gamora's life to capture the Soul Stone. But without another Stone on Titan, Thanos would have only had four before coming to Earth – and that makes a big difference.
In the film, Thanos nearly lost the Infinity Gauntlet thanks to a coordinated plan executed to near-perfection by Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, Drax, Mantis, and Star-Lord. This group of heroes did manage to subdue Thanos and almost removed the Gauntlet until Peter Quill lost his cool because he found out Gamora is dead. Remove Star-Lord from the picture and things turn out very differently. If that ragtag team came so close to beating Thanos, who had four Infinity Stones in his Gauntlet, it's reasonable to believe that the Avengers at full-strength could have done even better against the Mad Titan in Wakanda.

What's your longest cab ride? 35 minutes? That seemingly endless span of time in which you try to cross town during rush hour? So long that you fall asleep on the way back to Brooklyn and the cabbie has to poke you in the shoulder and shout "Lady!"? As long as it takes to drive from La Guardia to Los Angeles? John Belitsky, who happens to be the son of a former New York cab driver, was told by his dad that no cab driver would ever be convinced to drive that far. He found a cab driver who was.
Belitsky and a friend, Dan Wuebben, found their driver for the 2,800-mile trip, Mohammad Kalam, at La Guardia Airport. We imagine the guys were pretty convincing, or at least promised Kalam 15 minutes of fame, and, of course, $5,000. They left on Saturday. So far so good, it seems. (This must mean they managed to turn off Taxi TV.)
"It was a great idea," Belitsky told KCNC-TV. "We've met a lot of fun people, seen a lot of interesting things. I proved my father wrong."
There's no crosstown traffic, thank God, and no "going to Brooklyn." This actually might be a cab driver's dream!
"This is a long road, wide road," Kalam told KCNC-TV. "There are no people. New York is too crowded, a lot of people, a lot of cars. There are no cars here, I think."
Belitsky is tweeting the trip. We smell a book deal, which, oddly enough, smells kind of like the inside of a cab.

A great table fan is an invaluable asset in your home. It allows you to circulate air and feel cooler when the temperatures rise, and you can often save money on your electricity bills when you use your fan instead of turning on your air conditioner on warm (but not yet stifling) days.
You can even use a table or table fan on a low setting to help circulate heat in the winter time — a particularly effective method for making a pellet or wood stove work harder in your home.

Cutting fine glass at Shaw
The formula just might be working at this year's Shaw Festival. G.B.S.'s You Never Can Tell and
Dear Liar, a dramatization of letters between Shaw and his favorite actress, combine for classy, glassy comedy. However, not all reflections cut so fine a figure, proof positive of that being Emlyn Williams' The Corn Is Green, which certainly lives up to its name. Still, Niagara-on-the-Lake's festival (it runs until September) is off to a running start.
You Never Can Tell, George Bernard's self-confessed potboiler, is perfect lightweight Shaw, lovingly served by a production that teases it into some substance with just the right amount of Shavian conviction. Plot, a necessary evil for Shaw, isn't easily extricated from this wonderful web of character and event. But the weave, all color and spontaneity, is very deliberately worked. And depending on your angle of vision, you might respond to several themes: dentistry in the 19th century; the atmosphere of seaside resorts; primitivism on Madeira; or (slightly
more seriously) the suffocation of family life; the damage caused by repressed feelings, liberated woman and marriage under false pretenses; and, finally, the inverted snobbery of the servant class. Something for everyone.
The basic situation is preposterous, though it works like a charm: Mother, played with stately naturalism by Mary Savidge, leaves her husband for 18 years to raise their children (twittery twins Philip and Dolly and the glorious Gloria) with books on various kinds of modern emancipation. The family's return to England occasions the coincidental appearance of one blusteringly dismayed father (Gillie Fenwick) and a suitor for the unapproachable eldest daughter. These two male additions also happen to be quarrelling landlord and tenant, patient and dentist. The disharmony is orchestrated into a luncheon of crossed purposes and mixed identities, smoothly conducted by William the waiter. Although played too reverently by festival director Leslie Yeo, he glides opportunely about with appropriate courses and condiments, postponing inevitable explosions.
The pursuit of Gloria by the penniless Valentine good-naturedly engages the Shavian ingredients of male-female confrontation. Gloria, victim of an emotionally unexamined life, struts and
poses until she trips over her own thoroughly unsentimental education. James Valentine's Valentine outwits the young woman at her own game, parodying Shaw with great flair and affection, bringing real individuality to an already outrageously inventive play. The twins, more predictably realized by Mary Haney and Christopher Gaze, are nonetheless rib-tickling. They have some shattering lines, and Tony van Bridge's direction is particularly clever in setting them on stools like a couple of impudent puppets during the final scenes of unravelling relationships. A delicate, delightful balance. A little truth, a little poetry, a lot of fun.
The star performer of Dear Liar, Jerome Kilty's adaptation of the correspondence between Shaw and Mrs. Patrick Campbell, is language —Shaw's gift and great love. Sheer verbal virtuosity defines the two, and thanks to Douglas Campbell's energetic direction, they aren't for a moment static: they talk to each other, words galvanizing the lives onstage. Their conversation over the years amounted to an act of love—theatrical, passionate, revealing. We see it as both bond and division between difficult friends. During their fierce battle over publication, she ruefully admits she can neither spell nor punctuate, nor write in his mind-boggling paragraphs.
What she can do, however, is talk—with the panache of a true original. A vigorous woman of good humor and honesty, actress Pat Galloway's Mrs. Pat is every bit Shaw's match. Regal and warm in red burgundy, dark hair piled atop her head, she gamely trades ironic observations for each of Shaw's barbed witticisms. Colin Fox's G.B.S. is all angular animation, his body somehow the absurd appendage of an overactive mind: mercurial, irascible, spritely.
The play's highlights (and there are many) are frivolous, painful or merely petty. During the heyday of their infatuation, Shaw soars as foolishly and fondly as Valentine in You Never Can Tell. Their professional differences absorb them totally, but they labor and bicker only for love. When she marries, he searches for a Higgins to her inimitable Eliza in Pygmalion, blithely admitting: "All I ask is to have my own way in everything." He calls her a veteran of the theatre, to which she retorts: "I won't be a day over 39. I do have a daughter 28, but what of it? It happens in India all the time." There are moments of mutual commiseration: his mother dies, her boy is killed in the war, one or the other falls ill or impecunious. Even so, liberating laughter and caustic common sense abound. (His solution to the wasteful sacrifice of sons in war is that women should stop having them.)
Emlyn Williams' '30s drama, The Corn Is Green, very strictly speaking a piece by one of Shaw's contemporaries, is ridiculously remote from him in spirit. Even good melodrama is missing in this plodding rendition, directed by Leslie Yeo. The story of a Welsh mining lad in the 1890s brought to intellectual enlightenment by a middle-aged, spinster English teacher has had glowing treatment in the past, its plum acting role, Miss Moffat, taken on by Sybil Thorndike, Ethel Barrymore, Bette Davis and Katharine Hepburn. Mary Savidge's crusty, domineering woman is kind enough, noble to a fault, but completely unbending. Even though the lines deny it, the relationship between Moffat and her wild, darkly talented protégé Morgan Evans (Peter Hutt) is full of provocative potential that, especially in a '70s interpretation, demands expression. His inevitable rebellion against her relentless tutelage inspires only an icy bleat about time and money spent; Morgan's heady experience at Oxford cannot induce one faltering human response.
If a director insists on choosing a play that proves to be dated, he must at least drive his version against the prevailing text so that there is tension, a striving for redefinition.
Besides, at this festival, what's Williams to Shaw?

Although he was drafted as a center, the Red Wings envision top prospect Michael Rasmussen debuting in the NHL on the wing, reports MLive's Ansar Khan. Rasmussen has shifted to the wing in the WHL playoffs with Tri-City and has adapted quite well, tallying 24 points (10-14-24) in just eight games through the first two rounds.
Rasmussen was Detroit's first-round pick (ninth overall) last June and Khan notes that the team is hopeful that he may be able to lock down a regular roster spot as soon as next season. With the Red Wings intending to transition into somewhat of a youth movement, having him up with the big club in a position with less responsibility would make some sense to help him get acclimated to the rigors of playing at the NHL level.
Elsewhere around the East:
- New Jersey defenseman Sami Vatanen did not travel with the team to Tampa Bay today, notes Amanda Stein of the Devils' team site (Twitter link). He suffered an upper-body injury against the Lightning early in Game Four; he left with just 6:46 of ice time. However, the team isn't ruling out Vatanen joining the team on Friday if his condition improves. The puck drops on the fifth game of that series on Saturday afternoon.
- Penguins winger Patric Hornqvist skated in advance of Pittsburgh's practice today but he has already been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Flyers, Chris Adamski of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review relays. He suffered an upper-body injury late in Sunday's matchup and did not suit up on Wednesday night. Rookie Dominik Simon took Hornqvist's place in Game Four and will likely remain in the lineup for Game Five.

Distribution of ratings for this:
Bowmore is a dichotomous distillery for me. It's been on my radar since my first whisky mentor showed me his bottle of Black Bowmore (not opened, sadly). Then, I found a bottle of Laimrig in Calgary (I think in 2012), and in order to prepare myself for it I bought a mini set of 12, 15 and 18. To say I was not impressed is putting it politely. But the Laimrig was fabulous, and I have sampled other cask strength Bowmores, like Tempest, which have been excellent. So I think that when they put an effort in, Bowmore can provide excellent results.
In February, long after I stopped lamenting the fact that I had missed out on getting one, someone, for reasons I will never fathom, returned a bottle of this expression and I was able to get it at its original price. Recent googling suggests that this bottle is now worth at least twice what I paid for it. So is it worth opening?
Only one way to find out. Yes, obtaining a sample form someone else! I had tried an earlier version thanks to @Talexander, but I set up a Tempest swap (5 for 6) with @Cricklewood and one of the "players to be named later" was a small sample of DC III, which I now review. I do not know how long the bottle was open but I opened the sample bottle for the first time today.
This expression is reviewed in my usual manner, allowing it to settle after which I take my nosing and tasting notes, followed by the addition of a few drops of water, waiting, then nosing and tasting.
Neat, sherry on first pour, then peat. I get dark fruits. Some smoked ham. Not unlike Laimrig (except the ham). I get a hint of the smell you find in a fish store. Very sweet interplaying with savoury. Very pleasant nose that just gets better and better over half an hour (before tasting) . After tasting I also get cherry Kool-Aid (diluted like they do at camp).
With water and with time, the savoury aspect becomes more pronounced. I get lox (smoked salmon, that I've only once before smelled in a Bowmore). 22.5/25
Neat, remarkably subdued first sip, with red berry notes (cherry and raspberry). Sweet. A little sherry. Surprisingly less complex on the palate than it was on the nose.
With water, sweeter, more fruity arrival, and more of a sherry character than neat. Also I get a chalky sensation. Becomes a little thin in the mouthfeel. A little menthol. 21.5/25
Neat and with water, the peat becomes more prominent in the finish. Dry, ashy. Nice, long. 22/25
The nose promises a little more than the palate delivers. I like the balance between the sweet sherry and the peat, but I think a few more darker fruits would have made this a touch better. 22/25
Score: 88 /100
I like this. It gets better after an hour or so in the glass. Head to Head with Laimrig IV I think Laimrig has the edge. They have the same overall score but I think the Laimrig has improved since I reviewed it.
So is it worth opening? If I thought it would be something enjoyed by a group of people who could really appreciate it, yes. But aside from the ham and raw fish (in a good way) it doesn't have much that I can't get, and better, from Laimrig.
I only have the one, but if I could, at it's current value on the secondary market, trade it for something else that I didn't have or coveted (like a good Stagg), I might be sorely tempted.

Close to the Cornish Devon border on the beautiful Tamar Estuary a 120-acre estate requires an experienced gardener for a full-time live-out position.
The house and garden are in the process of being restored and re-worked to provide a really productive kitchen garden with glasshouses, poly tunnels, walled soft fruit and herb garden; and the whole estate, house and landscape is being given a new lease of life by a young family with a passion for doing things well, organically and with conservation in mind as well as for pleasure and bounty. The immediate garden around the house comprises over 6 acres of fifty-year-old woodland Cornish garden with a unique collection of camelias, magnolias and rare trees, shrubs and bulbs, plus 4 acres of formal and informal gardens around the house itself. A kitchen garden and orchard of approx. 2 acres, swimming pool, tennis court and ancillary buildings are all being rejuvenated and improved. Additional orchards, meadow enrichment, regenerative agriculture are being implemented on the estate. Both owners and designers are keen to create a modern efficient working garden, but to maintain the charm and old-world atmosphere, for the encouragement of wildlife and promotion of the indigenous ecology of Cornwall.
The applicant should be a skilled horticulturalist of some experience, with a passion for plants and gardens, a keen visual eye and a natural feel for nurturing plants. The individual would be working as part of a team of five full time gardeners reporting to the Head Gardener. All the usual qualifications would be useful, as would familiarity with machinery and its maintenance; mowing and hedge trimming; organic vegetable production; cut flowers and house plants, etc. A genial, positive and adaptable attitude would make this a very special job for someone talented.
Salary dependent on candidate and experience.

["is visually similar to the head used for Morpheus"
As far as I can tell, it's exactly the same. I'm not sure what they planned but it looks like way back (Alpha and/or Demo dev stages probably) they were either going to use the Morpheus head for both, or just for The Elder.
That doesn't make a whole lot of sense though because Morpheus is in the talking head concept art, so I have no idea. :-x] Sduibek 21:46, July 19, 2011 (UTC)Sduibek
The Elder's talking head is visually similar to that of Morpheus' head.
Evidence please. -Cannibalbrane 14:50, July 24, 2011 (UTC)
- Compare the talking heads. If you don't see the similiarity, get your eyes fix'd. Tagaziel (call!) 16:07, July 24, 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, what I meant was that the talking head that is supposedly the elder's is pretty obviously just Morpheus and the article offers no evidence that the Elder was actually supposed to have a head in the first place. -Cannibalbrane 16:19, July 24, 2011 (UTC)
- "I am pleased to meet you. I hope you have found our little village pleasing so far."
- "Yes."
- "Nope, just not enough action around here."
- What's most interesting to me is that the image shown of "The Elders Talking Head" doesn't exist at all for Morpheus' TH. There's one of him looking to his right (our left) which is similar, but the expression/angle/etc of his face only very vaguely so.
Either way though, I compared side-by-side and it's definitely the images that ultimately were used for Morpheus' TH.Sduibek 20:58, July 26, 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks. That's what I thought, but I couldn't find a high resolution image to confirm. Since it doesn't look like the elder was intended to appear in the game in the first place I'm guessing that Morpheus's head was just a placeholder. Cannibalbrane 22:54, July 26, 2011 (UTC)
As far as I know there are no other "Elder"s in Fallout. Should this page be re-named to "Elder (Fallout)"?--Ant2242 (talk) 23:55, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

China and US keep close communication on signing of phase one deal
The United States and China are keeping close communication on the signing of the phase one trade deal, China's commerce ministry said. The phase one of the deal will see to decrease the tariffs imposed on Chinese goods and to boost higher Chinese purchases of US energy, farm, and manufactured goods.
The phase one of the deal was announced last week, giving progress to the two years on-and-off negotiations between the two parties.
The two countries are keeping close communication, said Chinese commerce ministry spokesman Gao Feng. He added that there were no specific information regarding the deal to be revealed yet.
"After the official signing of the deal, the content of the agreement will be made public," Gao said.
U.S. officials stated that China has agreed to raise purchase of U.S. products and services in the next two years for almost $200 billion.
Washington said that it will include additional purchases of U.S. farm products worth $32 billion. On average, it would amount to $40 billion annually, compared to the $24 billion worth of farm products in 2017, before the trade war started.
Chinese officials have not yet confirmed Washington's statements about the trade deals, especially on the subject of US products. However, in China's announcement of the deal, it said that more importations of U.S. rice, wheat, corn, pharmaceuticals, energy, and financial services are included.
On Thursday, China released the list of U.S. imports that are exempted in the tariffs, including chemical products. The second list is yet to be announced.
Washington also said that the trade deal includes stronger legal protection on trademarks, patents, and copyrights.
The two parties have consensually agreed to keep the trade secrets private to protect intellectual property rights and crack down on counterfeits and pirated goods, said Chinese Vice Minister of Commerce.

Race for Congress: Himes sees potential to end Washington gridlock in new term
As the finish line nears in his race for a fourth term in Congress, complacency has not set in for Democratic U.S. Rep. Jim Himes.
Himes, a Greenwich resident, is in a rematch against former Republican state Sen. Dan Debicella of Shelton, whom he beat in a relatively close race in 2010.
And while there is quiet confidence within Himes' campaign after his three straight victories in what is regarded as a moderate district that previously had been represented by Republicans for decades, Himes stresses he's not taking anything for granted.
In fact, Himes said in an interview with Hersam Acorn Newspapers that the results of this race very much matter despite ongoing cynicism from the public over the ability for Congress to get anything done.
"You have to ask who is really working hard on solving the problems of the district," Himes said. "The number one problem in the district is jobs and infrastructure. I put those two together because they're very closely linked. If we don't get our infrastructure right companies won't move in and won't grow here.
"My opponent wildly says I haven't done enough in that area and seems to believe that in four or five years I could have changed what was generations in the making, but [Debicella] opposed the recovery act that made tens of millions of dollars available. It completely changed the Fairfield interchange with the Merritt," Himes said.
'Real progress' on infrastructure
"There are now cranes working on the transportation infrastructure and development of Steelpointe (a proposal for Bridgeport's waterfront)," Himes said. "It made $12 million available to the Stamford Transportation Center, which is going to make the busiest station between New York and Boston better.
"I won't take sole credit for this," he continued, "but the whole delegation came together in the wake of the meltdown of the Walk Bridge (a railroad bridge in Norwalk) to get $161 million in federal funds to accelerate the project by two years. That's real progress. It doesn't get us all the there, but it is progress."
Boosting the economy
Himes pledged to continue to work to get federal money for these needed projects to improve transportation infrastructure, which he feels will provide a boost to the economy by making Connecticut more welcoming to businesses.
(Story continues below)
Click below to read a campaign interview with challenger Dan Debicella:
He said Debicella's opposition to the American Recovery Act, better known as "the stimulus," would have prevented that and criticized Debicella for calling for additional across-the-board spending cuts.
Himes and Debicella are running in the 4th Congressional District, which covers much of Fairfield County. The district includes most of Shelton.
Reflecting the district
Himes said his record over his first three terms has shown him to be a moderate, independent thinker, who reflects "the general attitude of the district."
He said Debicella has "refashioned himself in this second campaign against me as a moderate," and accused Debicella of now supporting ideas like increasing the minimum wage and comprehensive immigration reform despite voting against them in the state Senate.
"My constituents might not always agree with me but they're not going to doubt where I stand on these things," Himes said. "That's important particularly in a district like this that's moderate, thoughtful and educated."
Controlling the federal budget
Himes said he does not support cuts to federal spending just for the sake of cutting, but rather what he considers a more constructive approach.
He points to what are known as the "sequester cuts," where — as part of an agreement meant to spur a bipartisan budget deal — cuts were to be made across the board to every department.
However, the deal never materialized so the cuts went into effect. Himes said that has led to shared pain and a desire to not go through with such an agreement again.
"We're in a period now, I think it's been over the last two years, where people, even the most adamant cutters, have come to realize that cuts actually have consequences," Himes said.
"We first saw this with the sequester," he said. "We said we would do something like what my opponent has proposed with this penny plan for across-the-board cuts. That was like what we did with the sequester and nobody liked it because suddenly the Pentagon was on the table and the hardcore cutters didn't want to see that, and others didn't like seeing Medicare and Social Security. That's three-quarters of the budget right there.
"People see that there's waste in the government but when you start making really big cuts, it effects people," Himes said.
Both sides could work together
Because of this, Himes said he believes there has been more of a constructive dialogue between Republicans and Democrats over the federal budget than there has been in years.
He said the Republican-led 16-day shutdown of the government led to a political backlash that not only has made people shy about trying something similar again, but moved them toward wanting to actually work together, which would be a change of pace for this Congress.
Republicans are expected to maintain the majority in the U.S. House and perhaps take control of the Senate too, putting Himes, if he is re-elected, and his fellow Democrats more in the minority than before.
But because of those changing conditions, Himes said he believes the atmosphere is right for the parties to work together.
"I would maintain that the environment is getting better and I would point to the fact that you didn't hear the word 'shutdown' while discussing the last continuing resolution," Himes said. "We did a veterans bill, too. The bar is low. I'm not celebrating this but there are, at least, signs of life.
"I am optimistic that we could see comprehensive immigration reform. All the Democrats supported it and the bill got 78 votes in the Senate, meaning there is strong Republican support. I think that Speaker of the House John Boehner needs to move that in order for his party to be competitive in the 2016 election."
There are also key budget votes coming up within the next two years, including another look at the sequester cuts. Himes said this would lead to "very tough discussions" that he predicted wouldn't be fun but would be better than "suicidal" talk about shutting down the government again.
Reforming the tax code
One thing Himes said he would like to see is the kind of tax code reform on a national level that Connecticut is now taking on through the General Assembly.
A special panel is looking at this in Hartford, with recommendations for state tax reform expected to come in January 2016. Himes said he supports a similar federal evaluation.
"The federal tax code is an unmitigated disaster," Himes said. "It is diabolically complicated, uncompetitive and it should be reformed lock, stock and barrel with a couple of principles in mind.
"One is we're not raising rates," he said. "We're going to get rid of deductions and credits. Rates are high enough but there's so much gunk that allows people not to pay those rates. We should go after that. If we do that correctly we will fix this ridiculous international arbitrage that is creating inversions like Burger King becoming a Canadian company.
"We will be more competitive and bring in billions of dollars of stranded cash," Himes continued. "We should do this with regulations, too. Some of our regulations make a lot of sense but over time some of them become less relevant."
Ebola and people's fears
Much recent attention has been focused on Ebola cases in the United States after a mass outbreak in three West African countries. This has quickly become an issue of national controversy in America, despite assurances from medical officials from the U.S. Centers for Disease and Prevention Control (CDC) and World Health Organization (WH0) that the disease is not airborne and can only be caught under very specific circumstances.
Several members of Congress, of both parties, have demanded ending all flights from West Africa to the United States and sealing up the borders, but don't expect to see Himes in that group.
Once the crisis has subsided, he said, he could support a full examination into what went wrong and what went right in safety protocols at airports and at the Dallas hospital where two nurses were infected treating a patient.
"People instinctively say that the answer is to seal the borders and stop all the flights," Himes said. "That's a natural, fearful reaction. It's also, if you talk to any expert at the WHO or the CDC, it is exactly the wrong reaction.
"One of the things that we have to do, and that we're participating in, is getting at this thing at its source where it's bubbling over uncontrollably in West Africa," he continued. "If you shut all communications, you can't get people out or put people in, which again gets you to the heart of the problem. So, no, I think that is unfortunately my colleagues playing to people's natural fears and it's counterproductive."
NIH funding
Himes also said he didn't feel the lack of an Ebola vaccine was the result of budget cuts to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as some of his fellow Democrats have claimed.
He noted that, until recently, there was no call for such a vaccine in the United States and called speculation that cuts had stopped development of a cure "irresponsible."
But Himes did stress that agencies like the NIH do need adequate public funds or else there would be future health problems.

|What is the Mayo Clinic Care Network?
|The Mayo Clinic Care Network is a collaboration that connects INTEGRIS physicians with Mayo Clinic specialists and Mayo Clinic resources. INTEGRIS health care providers will use electronic communication tools to access the latest Mayo Clinic knowledge and expertise.
|Why did Mayo Clinic choose INTEGRIS to be a member in the Mayo Clinic Care Network?
|INTEGRIS was selected to join the Mayo Clinic Care Network because it shares a common philosophy, commitment and mission to improve the delivery of healthcare through high-quality, data-driven, evidence-based medical care and treatment. In addition to our commitment to providing exceptional patient care, INTEGRIS had to pass a rigorous Mayo Clinic review process based on quality, service and operational criteria.
|Why did Mayo Clinic create the Mayo Clinic Care Network?

|Why is INTEGRIS collaborating with Mayo Clinic?
|INTEGRIS has a long history of service excellence. INTEGRIS has made tremendous progress in our approach to care based on the latest medical knowledge and best practices from leaders in healthcare. This new collaboration will support us as we continually seek out the latest research and treatment recommendations from the experts at Mayo Clinic.
|What is the benefit of this collaboration to each organization?
|INTEGRIS will benefit from the latest research and treatment recommendations from the experts at Mayo Clinic. INTEGRIS already has a strong team of physicians; Mayo Clinic will provide an added bonus of expertise that will help INTEGRIS physicians provide an even higher level of care to its patients.
|What does this formal collaboration mean for patients?
INTEGRIS physicians will have access to the latest Mayo Clinic expertise and clinical care resources to use when treating patients. These resources include:
|How will this collaboration affect the cost of health care for INTEGRIS patients?

Patients will receive the added benefit of Mayo Clinic expertise and resources supplementing the high quality care already provided by their local INTEGRIS physicians. We see it as an investment in our community.
|Will this agreement mean patients will be referred to Mayo Clinic?
|There is no obligation for referrals to Mayo Clinic. The primary goal of INTEGRIS and Mayo Clinic through the Mayo Clinic Care Network is to help patients gain the benefits of additional medical expertise while continuing to receive their care as close to home as possible.
|How will Mayo and INTEGRIS physicians communicate and work together?
|INTEGRIS already has a strong medical team of physicians. Through the network relationship, INTEGRIS physicians have access to the latest Mayo Clinic expertise and clinical care resources through the use of electronic care reference and communication tools.
|What other health systems are members of the Mayo Clinic Care Network?
|The network consists of more than 35 organizations that access Mayo Clinic from locations across the United States as well as Canada, Puerto Rico and Mexico.

|Which INTEGRIS facilities will be affected? How?
|All providers affiliated with INTEGRIS will have access to the Mayo Clinic Care Network and the resources and expertise of the Mayo Clinic.

Dr. Cynthia Payne is a board certified optometrist specializing in the treatment and management of ocular disease and owner of Trendsetter Eyewear. She enjoys working with people to improve their vision, assess the health of their eyes and treat eye disease. She also provides pre- and post-operative care for patients at LASIK of Nevada in Las Vegas and Reno, Nev. Motivated by the freedom optometry provides, from the ability to practice anywhere, choosing to be self-employed or work for another doctor full time or part time, to working in research and teaching; Dr. Payne loved having choices that optometry provided. Dr. Payne has been practicing in private optometry since 1997 and opened Trendsetter Eyewear in 2011. She is a Distinguished Woman of Nevada member.
Dr. Payne attended the Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, where she earned her Doctorate of Optometry. A graduate of Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, Tenn., she received a Bachelor of Science with a major in biology and a minor in chemistry. She also completed one year of graduate study at the University of Tennessee, Memphis in neuroscience and worked for an additional two years as a research assistant in Cancer Pharmacology at the University of Tennessee, Memphis.
What are some of the current technical advances in the field?
Optometry is somewhat unique in that there is both an optical component and a healthcare component. For example, in the optical field, some of the newest options are digitally designed eyeglass lenses (computer designed for optimized vision, i.e. sharper vision in all parts of the lens and better night vision) and more options of contact lenses that are healthier to wear (more oxygen transmission, stay cleaner, better for dryness). In the healthcare field, one of the newest concerns is protecting against the damage from blue light emitted by LED sources such as TV, computer screens and smartphones. There are new lenses and coatings specifically to block blue light from entering the eye and damaging the retina. Also Optometry is utilizing Epigenetics as a method to help decrease our risk for macular degeneration or other autoimmune mediated diseases that impact the health of our eyes.
How can someone protect their eyes and eyesight?
One of the healthiest choices a person can make for their eyes is ultraviolet protection. Ultraviolet increases the incidence of cataracts, macular degeneration, pterygium and skin cancer. Choosing sunglasses or eyeglasses with UV protection helps decrease the risk of these diseases of the eye (and wrinkles). All the things that are good for the rest of the body also apply to the eyes; like no smoking (smoking increases the risks of macular degeneration, cataract, glaucoma, diabetes, dry-eye syndrome, thyroid disease); maintaining a balanced nutrition (antioxidants, omega-3, lutein and zeaxanthin for the macula); and routine exercise. Genetic wellness testing can help someone eat foods that work with their DNA to optimize their health.
What charity would you recommend to help with eyes and eyesight?
One local charity that aid in the field of Optometry is the Lion's Club. The Lion's Club collects and distributes used donated glasses in third world countries to help improve the vision and quality of life for the people in those countries. We accept donations for them in our Trendsetter Eyewear office.

There is always a palpable energy when you arrive at a show headlined by a rapper; you can feel it the second you join the queue. Sure, other artists from different genres of music can create a similar feeling, but it's definitely not the same. The line-up for Juicy J's sold out show was an event all on its own. The all-ages show created an atmosphere of confusion and chaos with lost tickets, missing IDs, and one too many hopeful fans that must have thought if they just asked nicely, more tickets would be made available.
The opening act, Heatwave and Spac3man, effortlessly established the tone of the evening. Seattle-based rapper Spac3man engaged the crowd with a high-energy set and his ridiculously charismatic demeanour. Despite many people waiting for drinks at the bar or still trying to enter the Vogue Theatre, the opening performers managed to get a full crowd on the dance floor. The following acts tried their best but couldn't match the enthusiasm brought by Heatwave featuring Spac3man.
The night came to a standstill while Juicy J did a meet-and-greet for fans who made the effort to purchase VIP packages. And when I say standstill, I mean DJ Scholar literally began to fill the time with a hip-hop/rap playlist I can only assume came from his iPhone. Not that the music wasn't fun, but if I wanted to hear Iggy Azalea or Drake I could have turned on any mainstream radio station. Sure, some older DMX songs found their way into the mix, and he dabbled in some Ty Dolla Sign, but overall, the set became a bit tiresome. To be fair, I am not even sure if his set was particularly unoriginal or if I was just frustrated at the wait for Juicy J.
A founding member of Three 6 Mafia and an Academy Award-winning rapper, Juicy J finally hit the stage at 11:55 PM. To say I was relieved would be putting it mildly. While I may take issue with some of Juicy J's lyrics, he is one of the more enigmatic rappers out there right now. More recent fans probably know him best from his Katy Perry collaboration on "Dark Horse" or his hit "Bandz" with Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz, but Juicy J has been rapping, producing, and writing songs for over 20 years. He is also credited with helping bring Southern crunk to the masses, so reducing his long career, and obvious expertise, to only his most recent endeavours is a bit insulting. My plus-one and I definitely felt our age when he asked the crowd if they knew who Three 6 Mafia was… especially since the majority of the crowd appeared to just scream at anything he said.
Now, I love Juicy J's rapping style and vocal tone. The richness in his voice is enticing and strangely sexy, even if I don't always agree with the sentiments expressed in his lyrics. So I was more than disappointed at the length of his performed songs. Juicy J played abridged versions of his songs, some of them ending after about a minute, which obviously left me wanting and waiting for more. I tried to reason that some of the songs had to be shortened because they are collaborations, and those particular artists were not touring with him, but even the songs that weren't collaborations were shortened. Like I said, Juicy J is a charismatic performer with a distinctive rapping style, so the fact that we waited for what seemed like an eternity for him to take the stage, coupled with his short set, left me and my plus-one feeling indifferent.

Growth factors of the TGF-β superfamily play key roles in regulating neuronal and muscle function. Myostatin (or GDF8) and GDF11 are potent negative regulators of skeletal muscle mass. However, expression of both Myostatin and its cognate receptors in other tissues, including brain and peripheral nerves, suggests a potential wider biological role. Here, we show that Myoglianin (MYO), the Drosophila homolog of Myostatin and GDF11, regulates not only body weight and muscle size, but also inhibits neuromuscular synapse strength and composition in a Smad2-dependent manner. Both Myostatin and GDF11 affected synapse formation in isolated rat cortical neuron cultures, suggesting an effect on synaptogenesis beyond neuromuscular junctions. We also show that Myoglianin acts in vivo to inhibit synaptic transmission between neurons in the escape response neural circuit of adult flies. Thus, these anti-myogenic proteins act as important inhibitors of synapse function and neuronal growth.

Gumbo (with any type or no meat)
I started with the recipe:
We made a bunch of changes though, so I've revised it. We changed the meats, removed the mushrooms, added vegetables and broth, and doubled the spices. You can serve this over rice, or to add another vegetable to the mix, serve over a mixture of rice and spaghetti squash "pasta" noodles.
We used leftover turkey from Christmas, but this meal is hearty enough for any meat, or to go meatless. You can boost the vegetable content of this dish without altering the flavor too much by adding cauliflower, riced cauliflower, or pureed sweet potatoes or butternut squash.
1/4 cup oil (we actually used 1/4 cup Earth Balance and enough oil to thin it out)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 12oz bag frozen onion/green pepper/red pepper mix
1 lb baby carrots, sliced thinly
2 celery stalks, sliced thinly
5 cloves garlic
1lb smoked sausage
1 cup chicken broth
1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers with liquid
1 can red kidney beans
2 tablespoons parsley
4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
3 dashes hot sauce
2 cups cooked chicken/turkey
1 can corn
1. Heat oil and butter. Stir constantly with flour to create a paste.
2. Saute onions, peppers, carrots, celery, and garlic for about 10 minutes.
3. Add smoked sausage and saute another 5 minutes.
4. Add chicken broth, tomatoes, beans, and all spices and seasonings. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes.
5. Add chicken/turkey and corn and heat through, about 5-10 minutes.
