Paula Creamer, Cristie Kerr and Ai Miyazato go off together on the first tee at 3:09 a.m. ET on Thursday in France. They're arguably playing the best golf in the women's game today. Creamer's fresh off her U.S. Women's Open victory. Kerr won the LPGA Championship by a record 12 shots a month ago and trails No. 1 Miyazato by ten thousandths of a point in the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings.

The Music
"I've just finished playing your tape and you are an absolute genius,
it's just beautiful.
I think the last quarter or third virtually puts you in touch with all that is, then after that this incredible feeling of humbleness, it was just superb. You are really a gifted man so congratulations. I can see this doing so much stuff for people, it just makes my heart sing, its just beautiful, I will just keep on playing it. Thank you so much."

I love listening to it, and have cried my eyes out at times, letting go of a great deal of grief which has been bottled up for far too long. Thank you for your music. Sincerely"

of my life."

When are you coming back to Ireland? Please Please please send me information on your recordings, seminars and workshops."
Love Light blessings, Eileen, Co Louth Ireland
"Many thanks Robert for sending us your new CD, it is really beautiful and how I envy your God given talent that enables you to create such beautiful music. We have been through some very difficult times not so long ago triggered by the loss of our daughter. Your music helped us a lot and there was nearly always a "Robert Boyd" playing on the stereo. We fall asleep to it every night. May God bless you Robert and keep you safe so we can enjoy what you create for many years to come."
Kevin and Judy, Mandurah WA
"December 2000
Dear Robert, You helped me with information on how to use your music to help heal my 84 year old mother's broken arm. Unfortunately we were not able to access a CD player while she was in hospital, but she seems to have had dramatic pain relief since starting to use track 8 of volume three as recommended by you. She has only had 5 sessions of the 8.45 minute track so far. She has had a pretty bad time with the pain until we started using the music. Last night was the best sleep she has had for over two weeks. Thank you for this wonderful gift."
"7th February 2001
Just to let you know that Mum had the plaster off her arm about 4 weeks ago and considering that the ortho said it was a particularly bad break, and the fact that she is 'getting on' a bit , she seems very pleased with her mobility and lack of pain.
Your music was used religiously by her and I am sure it has helped greatly.
The very first time she applied the sound therapy it seemed to take the stiffness out of her fingers and offered her significant pain relief. Thank you very much for helping us and sharing the special gift your music brings."
Best wishes, Gaye, Geraldton WA

Obama has awarded a $ .5 Billion no-contract bid for a buddy's company to supply untested vaccines for an eradicated disease.
Perhaps Obama should just order $50 billion worth and mandate that every American receive a shot in case the Cold War 2 breaks out.
A company controlled by a longtime political donor gets a no-bid contract to supply an experimental remedy for a threat that may not exist.
Over the last year, the Obama administration has aggressively pushed a $433-million plan to buy an experimental smallpox drug, despite uncertainty over whether it is needed or will work.
Senior officials have taken unusual steps to secure the contract for New York-based Siga Technologies Inc., whose controlling shareholder is billionaire Ronald O. Perelman, one of the world's richest men and a longtime Democratic Party donor.
Once feared for its grotesque pustules and 30% death rate, smallpox was eradicated worldwide as of 1978 and is known to exist only in the locked freezers of a Russian scientific institute and the U.S. government. There is no credible evidence that any other country or a terrorist group possesses smallpox.

Sally Fitzgibbons clinched her second Rio Women's Pro title in three years when she topped reigning two-time ASP Women's World Champ Carissa Moore in trying conditions at Barra Da Tijuca. The victory in conjunction with a fifth place on the Gold Coast and thirds at Margaret River and Bells vaults the three-time ASP World Runner up back to the No. 2 position and well within contention for the women's elite crown entering Fiji.
Fitzgibbons had admittedly been rifling through boards entering the Rio Women's Pro, and after she creased her original go-to shortie, her move to a backup board that was one inch longer proved to be the winning recipe.
Fitzgibbons has been working with Firewire innovator Nev Hyman since 2012 and the team's official Sally Pro Model would be the weapon of choice on her road to victory.
SHAPER: Nev Hyman
MODEL: The Sally
DIMENSIONS: 5'7" x 17.75" x 2.125"
FINS: FCS Fins
TAIL: Round
MATERIALS: High density foam, Epoxy resin, parabolic rails
"For this event in Rio I changed it up a little bit from Bells," said Fitzgibbons. "I broke a couple of boards and that changed the direction of what shapes I was riding. The board I won on is a 'Sally Model.' Just my stock, standard 5'7" shortboard. It seemed to fit in the pocket really well here in Rio and even midway through the event I had a 5'6." I creased that board and that forced me on to the 5'7" and that one actually felt a lot better."
"We've been working with Sally for a number of years and she is the consummate professional in everything she does," Hyman said. "She's been surfing incredibly well this year and it was only a matter of time until we saw her on the podium. I'm very proud of her and it's a fantastic endorsement of the product."
Next stop on the 2014 ASP Women's WCT is the Fiji Women's Pro, which runs from May 25-30, 2014.

On days like today, when the vicious divisiveness of political dialogue in this country (and in my own church) is so prevalent, I'm reminded of the following passage from Thomas Merton's Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander, which I offer without commentary:
We are all convinced that we desire the truth above all. Nothing strange about this. It is natural to man, an intelligent being, to desire the truth. (I still dare to speak of man as "an intelligent being"!) But actually, what we desire is not "the truth" so much as "to be in the right." To seek the pure truth for its own sake may be natural to us, but we are not able to act always in this respect according to our nature. What we seek is not the pure truth, but the partial truth that justifies our prejudices, our limitations, our selfishness. This is not "the truth." It is only an argument strong enough to prove us "right." And usually our desire to be right is correlative to our conviction that somebody else (perhaps everybody else) is wrong.
Why do we want to prove them wrong? Because we need them to be wrong. For if they are wrong, and we are right, then our untruth becomes truth: our selfishness becomes justice and virtue: our cruelty and lust cannot be fairly condemned. We can rest secure in the fiction that we have determined to embrace as "truth." What we desire is not the truth, but rather that our lie should be proved "right," and our iniquity be vindicated as "just." This is what we have done to pervert our natural, instinctive appetite for truth.
No wonder we hate. No wonder we are violent. No wonder we exhaust ourselves in preparing for war! And in doing so, of course, we offer the enemy another reason to believe that he is right, that he must arm, that he must get ready to destroy us. Our own lie provides the foundation of truth on which he erects his own lie, and the two lies together react to produce hatred, murder, disaster (72-73).

Move to curb recorded celebrity phone calls
Constitution protects recorded political messages
If Shaun Dakin has his way, you might never get a call from Jack Nicholson again.
Or from Scarlett Johansson, Chris Rock, Jay-Z, Arnold Schwarzenegger and all the other celebrities and politicians who put their glittering names and famous voices on the millions of automated political phone calls that are likely to go out to California voters in the weeks leading up to November's election.
Dakin is founder of Citizens for Civil Discourse, a nonpartisan group in Washington, D.C., working to promote a new "National Political Do Not Contact Registry" that includes such "robocalls," which are used in political campaigns ranging from school board elections to the race for president.
"We're advocating for regulation," Dakin said. "We don't want an outright ban, but citizens have a right to privacy. If someone wants to opt out, he should be allowed to do it."
Dakin faces an uphill climb. While the Federal Trade Commission's 5-year-old Do Not Call Registry allows people to block calls from telemarketers, it specifically exempts calls from political organizations, citing potential First Amendment concerns about freedom of speech.
"The calls are really an inexpensive way for an underdog candidate to get his message out to voters," said Joshua Halpin, a spokesman for the American Association of Political Consultants. "This is a misguided attack on free speech which could lead us down a slippery slope to bans on direct mail, television ads and other types of political communication."
Even so, politicians in some states have acted after hearing from voters angry at fielding dozens of the automated calls in the days before an election. Oregon, for example, added political robocalls to the state's do-not-call registry in January. But other states, like Indiana, face legal challenges to their effort to curb the calls.
In California, the efforts have been mixed. While the state Public Utilities Commission already bans automated political calls that aren't introduced by a live voice, anyone who answers his phone during the election season knows those rules aren't being followed.
"We do enforce it if we're made aware of the calls," said Susan Carothers. "But we've only had two complaints about robocalls in the past two years," one of which led to a $500 fine.
Still, Dakin said a couple of formal complaints don't begin to measure the displeasure of Californians upset at having their dinners interrupted by a canned call from a movie star or politician.
"We're asking the PUC to step forward and start enforcing the law," he said. His Web site, www.stoppoliticalcalls.org, allows California residents to register their phone number on the voluntary political do-not-call list and provides an online form to complain to the PUC about specific calls.
But it's not as easy as that. Robocalls are a nationwide political industry, and many California calls are made from out-of-state sites the PUC can't regulate.
A study by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center in April showed that recorded calls have become the popular form of political advertising, moving ahead of mail and personal calls. In states that already had held their caucuses or primaries, 44 percent of voters had received at least one robocall. In Iowa, where the presidential campaign season opened, the number soared to 81 percent.
The economics of political campaigning also show why the calls aren't going away, said Tom Ross, a Sacramento political consultant whose company, Cardinal Communications Strategies, runs political robocall efforts.
A direct mail piece now costs about 65 cents for every voter it reaches. Each live telephone call costs about 50 cents. But robocalls cost only about 6 cents each, with the price going down with volume.
"Lots of local candidates are using them, since it doesn't take much money to contact a lot of voters," said Ross, whose company keeps an in-house do-not-call list of people who have complained. "We've done robocall campaigns at every political level, from as few as 200 calls in a school board race to as many as 1.5 million in a statewide contest."
When Democrat Jackie Speier ran in April's special election to replace the late Rep. Tom Lantos in Congress, voters in the San Francisco and Peninsula district received robocalls from the former state senator, reminding them to turn out for the election. They did, and she won.
"Robocalls are a tool to reach a large number of people very quickly," said Alex Tourk, who ran Speier's campaign. "At a time when a lot of people didn't even realize there was a special election, it was a great way to tell high-propensity voters that Jackie was on the ballot."
While some of the calls are little more than a reminder to supporters to get out and vote, robocalls also can go on the attack.
In Indiana in May, National Right to Life, an anti-abortion group, used robocalls to ask voters to reject Illinois Sen. Barack Obama in the state presidential primary. In South Carolina, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton made her own robocalls to slam another presidential candidate, former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, for working for a Wall Street firm that profited from home foreclosures.
But the celebrity calls may be the most effective, Ross said, because studies show listeners stay on the call longer when it's someone famous on the line.
"We did a call with Arnold Schwarzenegger and we found people staying on the line even after it was over, waiting to see if there was more," Ross said.
California Sen. Dianne Feinstein has acted on robocalls with her own bill, S2624, which would limit the number of automatic calls that could be made each day, ban late night or early morning calls and force the callers to identify themselves.
The bill is now in the Senate Rules Committee and may not get to the floor for a vote this year. Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-San Jose, has introduced a similar bill, HR1383, in the House.
"Obviously, there could be First Amendment issues raised," said Howard Gantman, a spokesman for Feinstein. "But people have a right to privacy in their own homes and our experts feel we're on safe ground."

Narrated Video of How Andrew Got His Spots
My ReviewI am an avid collector of children's books. My shelves are positively groaning! Having recently reviewed another of Louise Lintvelt's books, "Goodnight, Sleep Tight - What a Wonderful Flight ", I jumped at the chance to do the same for this one. "Goodnight" was great, and I hoped that this one would fulfil my expectations. I was not disappointed.
I just love this little book, and so did my kids! It's a delightful story that explains how Andrew the giraffe finally got his spots, and cleverly delivering the message that all good things come to those who wait. It is written in simple, engaging language that the children love; they enjoyed spotting the rhymes and even substituted some of their own. Julie Sneedon's illustrations are delicious - wonderfully drawn and bursting with colour.
A perfect book to engage inquisitive minds, and a firm favourite on my book shelves. A must-have for any summer reading list.

The Pathfinders Youth Section (formerly a a separate club and now incorporated into Kingfisher) has been established for over 25 years and provides progressive development canoe and kayaking activities for the 11-18 age range.
Activities include Introductory and Improver courses, monday evening river club sessions for members, exploratory trips, white water training sessions on local weirs, day and weekend trips to whitewater rivers and an opportunity to take part in an alpine whitewater kayaking trip.
We try to cater for a range of abilities and interests from those with little or no experience to those who want to develop their activity to a higher level. If you are interested in joining or just finding out more please contact the Youth Development Officer in the first instance
Child Protection and Welfare information can be found here.
Pathfinders – Courses
2018 Course Dates: Pathfinder's Beginner`s Introductory Course (11-18) four Tuesdays 6.30- 9.00 June 12/19/26 & July 3rd.
Kingfisher – Wednesday Evening Sessions
During the summer months Wednesday Evenings are the mainstay of the club calendar. All members are welcome and encouraged to come along; whether it's to just bimble along the Thames or play in the weirs at Abingdon or Sutton Courtenay.
From the beginning of May a duty officer will be available every week to perform the following duties:
- Open the hut.
- Record details of non-members on temporary membership forms
- Record details of who borrows kit and ensure it is returned.
- Collect money from those who borrow kit.
Club members and non-members who wish to visit the club, and can paddle to BCU 1* level are welcome to join these sessions. Note the duty officer is not responsible for looking after or coaching any paddlers, though of course they may if they wish to.
On the last Wednesday of every month we will be offering taster sessions where people who have not paddled before may come along and have a go. The club will ensure these sessions are staffed by a BCU level 2 coach.
Mixed Sessions – Sunday Mornings
During the Winter months we try and formalise a rota to enable access to the club huts on Sunday mornings so that members can paddle between 0900 and 1200. If you would like to volunteer to cover some of these dates you will have to be able, and willing to:
- Go out paddling for a few hours on a Sunday morning. We will launch from Abingdon Lock – See Here.
- Be onsite to open up the hut for anyone who wants to borrow equipment. If you don't have a key for the hut we will provide you with one.
- Be capable of looking after paddlers on the water. You don't need to have any qualifications but must be able to handle yourself and be willing to look after others whilst paddling on the Thames. If you're unsure about this but would like to help then let us know and we'll do our best to make this happen.
If you can help please let a member of the committee know and we'll add you to the list. We'll put the list on the club website and Facebook group as well as publish it in the Trasher once we've a few names on it. As the season progresses we'll keep it updated. The idea is to keep it quite flexible so if people want to swap sessions at short notice that would be fine.
Taster Sessions
On the last Wednesday of every month we will be offering taster sessions where people who have not paddled before may come along and have a go. The club will ensure these sessions are staffed by a BCU coach or appropriately experienced paddlers.
All of these sessions start at 6:15.

I'm a little late as usual posting, but I have great news! I've been inspired to once again make a few cards! After making thousands of handmade greeting cards, most of which were sold on eBay, I suddenly grew tired of making them. I'm sure a new baby (my second child), many life changes, and of course my interest in mini albums, just drained me of my card making mojo. This week Pocket Full Of Papers is having a handmade greeting card challenge that is part of the Holiday Shoppe we're hosting this month.
Be sure to search PFOP on eBay to see all the handmade paper goodies and designer handmade cards,we have to offer this week!
I had no idea when I started making a couple cards for the challenge I would end up with a whopping 25 so far!
Some of them really have a lot of my "oc" designs, like bouquets, or tiny flowers adorning a fence.
Something new for me in cardmaking has been machine sewing many of the layers. I love on cards just as much as on album pages!
Instead of using the regular quarter-fold size cards, I've given square, 5x5 cards a try. These have been a nice fun change too.
I listed two sets of cards on Sunday, and just listed three more this evening on eBay so be sure to check out the rest!

Nicole Kidman's Bliss Due To Her New Baby Is Diminished By Anguish Of Losing Her Two Oldest …January 28th, 2011 - 8:46 pm ICT by Sampurn Wire
43-year-old Nicole Kidman, Hollywood's accomplished actress, has recently greeted a new baby, Faith, by means of a surrogate Mom. However, that won't repair Kidman's continuing despondency over losing her two adopted kids, 18-year-old Isabella and 16-year-old Connor, to her previous husband, Tom Cruise, whose current wife, Katie Holmes, is referred to as Mom by the two children.
Kidman experiences the desire of motherhood in her stunning manor in Nashville with her existing 43-year-old husband, Keith Urban, and two baby girls, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret. However, Kidman still resides daily with the pain of her marital history with Cruise. Nicole is elated and in a state of bliss due to her fresh life, magnificent husband and adorable baby girls, notwithstanding which she is undoubtedly distressed over her alienated association with Isabella and Connor, who were adopted during the marital existence of Kidman and Cruise.
Nicole, as per Hollybaby, has remarked that, after several years of trying, she experienced motherhood by procreating Sunday. Hence, she experiences immense thankfulness. Sunday has cured the anguish in her considerably.
Nicole, at the age of 23, commenced what appeared to be a perfect romance with Cruise, until she comprehended that motherhood, one of her desires, would be a tough and lengthy battle. She battled against infertility for years, after which both resolved to adopt two kids, Isabella in 1992, and Connor in 1995.
Cruise and Kidman terminated their matrimony in 2001 when Isabella was eight and Connor was 6, with the divorced couple resolving to share the guardianship of their kids. What worsened the situation was that Kidman endured a miscarriage weeks after her divorce, which made her experience additional misery.
The two kids resided with Kidman until 2004 when her vocational career was at its zenith. Subsequently, they began to stay with Cruise in Los Angeles when the state of affairs altered. Kidman, subsequent to winding up her film projects, hoped that Isabella and Connor would come to her in the summer. However, they participated in the Scientology camp, of which Cruise is a passionate advocate, and commenced to dwell in Cruise's lavish manor permanently. Soon, they bumped into Katie Holmes in 2005, who would eventually become Cruise's wife. The two children were called to view the procreation of their stepsister, Suri, who is now 4 years old.
A source has asserted to Daily Mail that Kidman would be delighted to welcome the two grownup kids in her residence. Kidman and Urban expend plentiful time in Nashville and Australia. But Connor and Isabella do not desire to be away from their dwelling in LA. Nicole has voiced that she aspires to reignite her bond with Isabella and Connor though.
Isabella has undergone a mutinous period as she positioned blue streaks in her locks in 2007. Also, at that moment, she was recognized for using attires from Katie's wardrobe. However, Isabella has matured now and possesses the desire to be a screen writer.
Connor, however, is more akin to Cruise's persona. He is fascinated by rapid cars like his Dad. The two had journeyed to the Daytona racetrack in concert this year. They are passionate about basketball and are admirers of the LA Lakers.

I love the linework over the textured background. Lovely!
It's strange to think about it being winter in another part of the world. July to me is mid-summer. We've been having humid, hot weather (90s fahrenheit or 32-37 celcius).

On Sunday, the Chicago White Sox announced that their starting pitcher, Chris Sale, had been suspended for 5 days following an incident in the clubhouse.
According to the official statement by the team, Sale was suspended for violating team rules, insubordination and destroying team equipment.
The #WhiteSox have suspended pitcher Chris Sale for five days after yesterday's clubhouse incident: pic.twitter.com/xmMNTRSI19
— Chicago White Sox (@whitesox) July 24, 2016
Sale was scratched from his start against the Tigers after becoming upset over the team placing too much focus on its attire. Sale is said to have cut up several jerseys with a knife.
Not a joke: Source says Sale blowup was because he didn't want to wear throwbacks, so he cut the jerseys up so no one could wear them.
— Tommy Stokke (@StokkeTommy) July 23, 2016
Sources say: Sale cut up throwbacks during batting practice. Upset that, in his view, PR and jersey sales were more important than winning.
— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) July 24, 2016
Finally, told Sale used a knife to do whatever cutting he did of uniforms. Which really shouldn't add to the story but somehow does.
— Julie DiCaro (@JulieDiCaro) July 24, 2016
The White Sox were entertaining trade offers for Sale before the outburst, but with his temper tantrum hitting the news one has to wonder if this will impact his trade value.

I have a Cocker Spaniel at home that is 12 years old. He suffers from severe hip dysplasia an abnormal formation of the hip socket that, in its more severe form, can eventually cause crippling lameness and painful arthritis of the joints. The dysplasia is so severe that at one point he lost all mobility. He was basically a paralyzed dog. It was heartbreaking hearing him cry because he couldn't move or walk to his food bowl. We had to put him in diapers and put dog pads because he couldn't go outside. He was in so much pain that at one point he didn't want anyone to touch him. I immediately went online searching for a solution and started educating myself about pet products with hemp or cannabis oil.
Toys"R"Us® Extends Free Layaway Offer, Will Pay It Forward When Layaway Orders Are Paid Off As An Act Of Kindness To Others This Holiday Season
Toys"R"Us Engages Social Media Community, Encouraging Fans and Followers to Join Company in Giving Back.
This holiday season, Toys"R"Us is encouraging its customers to find ways to Give Back in their local communities, whether they choose to pay the balance of someone else's layaway order, make a monetary donation to Toys for Tots, or find other ways to bring joy to others.
During the 2011 holiday season, a nationwide phenomenon began when individuals started paying off the remaining balance on in-store layaway orders for someone in their community, including at Toys"R"Uslocations across the country. Taking inspiration from these stories, the company has pledged to pay it forward by Giving Back each time a generous benefactor visits one of its stores and pays off the balance of the layaway order for someone in their community. For each layaway balance paid off as an act of kindness, the company will donate $200 worth of toys – the approximate average value of a layaway order created at Toys"R"Us – to the MarineToys for Tots Foundation, up to $1 million worth of toys.
In addition, Toys"R"Us will challenge its Facebook fans at Facebook.com/Toysrus and Twitter followers @ToysRUs to join in Giving Back, from simply liking and retweeting posts to spread awareness for Giving Back, to sharing their acts of goodwill socially to inspire others to pay it forward. Each time someone pays off the balance of a layaway order at Toys"R"Us for someone in their community, the company will update a "Give Back Tracker" on Facebook. The "Give Back Tracker" is a map used to show where the layaway payoff took place, as well as the total amount of toys Toys"R"Us has donated to Toys for Tots as a result of this act of generosity.
For more information on this Give Back program, as well as additional ideas for ways to give back, customers can visit Toysrus.com/GiveBack. Additionally, Twitter users can join the conversation with #GiveBack.

Increased Risk of Diabetes After Acute Pancreatitis
the MPR take:
Patients have an increased risk of developing prediabetes or diabetes mellitus after being treated for acute pancreatitis, according to a study published in the journal Gut. Researchers reviewed a total of 24 studies involving 1102 patients and found that 37% of patients developed either prediabetes or diabetes mellitus after their first episode of acute pancreatitis. A greater than twofold increase in risk was observed 5 years after the initial episode. More studies will need to be conducted to find strategies to reduce the risk of diabetes mellitus development after acute pancreatitis.

The Society of Radiologists in Training was founded in 1993 and represents the interests of radiology trainees from the United Kingdom.
We are a non-profit, self-funded organisation that supports the future radiology workforce through our Annual Educational Conference, links with the Royal College of Radiologists, the Junior Radiologists Forum and the British Subspecialty societies.
Our committee has included both senior and junior radiology trainees, foundation doctors and medical students who aim to promote the specialty of radiology to those who are undergoing training in the UK or abroad and for those who are considering a potential career in the specialty as well as to support current radiology trainees across the UK. We provide a platform for UK radiology trainees to express their views regarding training and provide our members with exclusive discounts that will certainly enhance the trainee experience. Some of the benefits of membership include 20% off BIR membership and 15% off Onexamination Physics FRCR subscription as well as discounts off FRCR Revision courses and events advertised on our website. We also work hard to organise the Annual Educational Conference to bring the best speakers from across the UK and put together an engaging programme for delegates, of which SRT Members are entitled to a generous discount.
We promote cooperation between radiology allied professionals including radiographers, sonographers, physicists and other medical specialties through such endeavours such as our 'Trainer of the Year' awards, sponsored prizes for our conference and through joint educational courses.
Our website hosts information to help trainees at all stages of training with educational resources shared with us from the British Institute of Radiology which are specifically chosen due to their relevance for FRCR exam revision. We also provide information on career advice, subspecialty information and courses that you may find worthwhile.
The SRT Annual Conference is a fantastic opportunity to network and engage with other trainees, present your work at a national event, learn from our experienced speakers and take part in practical hands on workshops that range from exam preparation sessions to state of the art modality simulations.
The SRT prides itself on our non-for-profit, solely trainee led approach which gives us independence but with the close support and endorsement of the Royal College of Radiologists. Our committee work tirelessly to ensure that trainees have a voice and that we are able to offer advice and the chance for trainees to excel in our wonderful specialty.

My name is Yousar Jafar and I am an ST5 Radiology Trainee in the South Wales Training Scheme with a subspecialty interest in Women's Imaging (Breast Screening & Symptomatic and Gynaecological Imaging).
I am extremely passionate about the work trainee led societies do for their members and am delighted to have been elected as the President of The SRT for 2 years from 2017 to 2019 to continue the hard work in making The SRT a dynamic and innovative society.
The society's ethos is to 'Foster Excellence in Radiology' and as President I am working towards making The SRT a society that leads the way in trainee led initiatives as well as to be an innovative forum for Radiology Trainees across the UK. We are also collaborating with colleagues from Radiology subspecialty societies/institutions to achieve our educational aims and maintaining existing links with our surgical and medical colleagues to ensure that Radiology remains at the forefront of patient care.
The SRT is committed to ensuring we provide a stimulating and exciting Annual Educational Conference but also to be the first port of call for answering any questions related to training and exams. This year we will be working in collaboration with the Junior Radiologists' Forum (JRF) to reach out to as many radiology trainees as possible to engage with our educational events. We have the full support of the Royal College of Radiologists in meeting our objectives and as a committee we are working towards making The SRT an invaluable resource for all radiology trainees and junior doctors who wish to pursue a career in Clinical Radiology.

Hi, I'm Cameron, and I'm delighted to have been elected to join the committee from 2017 as the Foundation Year Representative for England. In my second year on the committee I am now the secretary of The SRT. I started F1 in Dorchester on the South Coast in 2017. I also qualified with a degree in Dentistry from Bristol in 2011. I have spent 5 years working in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, both before and during my MBChB in Manchester, and was a Middle Grade for 2 years. I have also worked as a General Dental Practitioner. Such experiences have given me a particular interest in Head and Neck Radiology.
One of my roles in the committee involves raising the profile of the specialty throughout the Foundation Programme and Medical Schools. I also hope to help develop the SRT website with more information about career options within Radiology. I hope to use my pride and optimism for our specialty to attract the best and brightest foundation doctors and medical students to radiology training.

Denarius Moore, despite his short time in the NFL, appears not to be much of a stickler for media
But that, however, isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Thus far, the second-year Raiders wide receiver has let his gridiron play speak for itself. And to keep a job in the pros, the ability to continuously score far outweighs one's ability to constantly chatter.
As a rookie last season, the 23-year-old led Oakland's injury-depleted offense in touchdown receptions with five, ranked second in receiving yards with 618, and placed third in receptions with 33.
"The way things are lined up, he's the guy," Raiders quarterback Carson Palmer said, who threw three of those five touchdowns to Moore last year. "He's our 'X' receiver, and I'm excited for him. I know he's excited about this year and he's got a lot to prove."
Palmer's expectancy comments had the potential to make any young receiver nervous. But if there was indeed any pressure, it was seemingly deflected by Moore's calm and quiet demeanor.
"That's something that I put upon myself," Moore said. "Continue to work hard to be that person [Palmer] wants me to be, and the coaches want me to be, and help put the team on our shoulders and help carry on."
But aside from expectations or second-year experience, the obstacle of learning coach Dennis Allen's new offense still lingers.
"We have a different offense, so my head is still spinning," Moore said. "But me having a year up under my belt. ... I think it's easier on that behalf right there."
Moore's play last year in special teams, in addition to his receiving, ranged from the routine to the spectacular. But in football, there is always a next step.
"I think this year he can kinda really put it all together and be a complete player," Palmer said, emphasizing the importance of Moore improving his short-yard game. "He's so explosive. He can do so many things down the field."
But if Oakland is to thrive in the AFC West, it cannot live on Moore alone. An apparently healthy Darren McFadden will provide a backfield threat along with a receiving one. And a rookie wide receiver with good hands, Juron Criner, won't hurt either.
But there's a certain quality that separates a good receiver from an ordinary one. And Moore, for the moment, appears to have it. Perhaps there's something about eyeing a perfect spiral that renders a receiver insensitive to the wallop he may receive when he leaps for a football. Moore's numbers suggest he saw many spirals last year.
And next year is right down the field.

Question if unions are so bad why do corporations spend billions a year trying to remove them? Or is it just corporations the unions fighting with for the people. The Alberta Ndp made it illegal for unions and corporations to donated to political parties…better than anything the cons ever did right there for the people.

Statement From First 5 LA Executive Director Kim Belshe on the President's Signing of 2014 Omnibus Bill
Jan 17, 2014, 02:00 ET
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- "The Fiscal Year 2014 Omnibus spending bill, signed today by President Obama, expands funding for early childhood education programs and takes an important step towards advancing the critical cause of early learning and support for our youngest children.
The science, research and practice demonstrate that quality preschool and early development programs prepare children for a lifetime of learning and success. Investments in these programs pay off in increased economic growth for our nation. This spending package, which passed both the House and Senate with overwhelming bipartisan majorities, not only fully restores Head Start funding from the harmful sequestration cuts of last year, but provides $500 million for an Early Head Start-Child Care Partnership program to strengthen existing child care centers and expand Early Head Start for our most vulnerable children. The bill further allocates $250 million under Race to The Top, encouraging states to develop, enhance and expand preschool programs. The Child Care Development Block Grant, which plays an important role in the funding of and quality standards for existing child care centers, received a boost of $154 million. Together, these funds will improve and expand needed services for children from birth to age 5.
I commend Congress and the President for their foresight in prioritizing early education programs that will help to build foundations for early learning in California and the nation as a whole. We are hopeful that this bipartisan support translates to support for the broader Strong Start For America's Children Act (HR 3461/S. 1697)."

Trajan's Column was erected by the Senate in 113AD to commemorate Emperor Trajan's campaigns against the Dacians
(modern day Romania)
An inscription above the door at the base records that the height of the column corresponded to the height of the hill which it replaced.
The column is made up of 19 drums of Italian marble covered in reliefs. These scenes tell us so much about the Roman army, for example, you can see that the helmets have small rings on top so that they could be hung from a cord over the shoulder when they were not worn.
Alternativey check out this National Geographic site which gives an overview of the carvings on the column.
Finally, a good place to eat with a great view of the column is Terre e Domus (formally Enoteca Provincia Romana). The ingredients for the traditional Roman dishes are all sourced locally and the project is managed by a social co-operative.

The WikiLeaks "Insurance" File ?
Posted by Big Gav in wikileaks
Cryptogon points to an unknown file published by Wikileaks along with their Afghan war material - The WikiLeaks "Insurance" File.
Is WikiLeaks hanging a Sword of Damocles over elements of the U.S. Government?
Via: Cryptome:
The file, "insurance.aes256," is ten times the size of the seven other files combined. Appears to be encrypted with AES Crypt. Wonder if it includes the 15,000 Afghan files withheld, or the original raw files, or perhaps much more, pre-positioned for public release ("insurance") against an attack expected to come from DoD and Justice or parties unknown. A passphrase to be distributed or published widely in case of a takedown.

My nephew is celebrating his 9th birthday next week and this card is hot off the press. I will be standing in line at the post office first thing tomorrow morning. It's not easy explaining my busy life to a little guy without the conversation spiralling down hill into his final judgement of "It's ok. Old people forget things." I'm not old .... just very... tired. Maybe I am old...
This is the card I made for the whipper-snapper:
|I'm using Clearly Besotted's Ahoy Matey set. I stamped the ship with
VersaMagic Jumbo Java and coloured the sails with Graph It markers.
|The ship is mounted on foam tape, so are the flags along the side.
I also adhered them to the red and white Doodlebug twine.
|Here is the inside. I plan to stamp his name where you see the little flag...
as soon as I remember his name! Hah!
Clearly Besotted #9: In Flight - Flying the Flag?... A stretch, maybe!
