Households are changing, and more people are choosing to reduce their use of precious resources. To meet these challenges, technological innovators are working overtime to create products to serve the new, energy-efficient, space-saving, outdoor-loving, growing family.
1. Sustainability and efficiency Manufacturers and retailers are all producing affordable and practical home items that use repurposed or sustainably harvested materials. Appliances are designed to use energy and water efficiently in ways that the homeowner would never notice or find sub-par to previous appliances. Architects are following LEED guidelines to make new and renovated homes that are comfortable and beautiful with a minimum of wasted materials and energy.
2. Streamlining Fitting in with the sustainability idea are furnishings that perform multiple functions. Many families are opting for an urban lifestyle with kids, which means smaller living spaces. Some examples of double-duty furniture are cribs that transform into toddler beds and then into desks, ottomans that provide storage and seating, and adjustable tables that work for coffee or dining.
3. Multigenerational living Another way in which spaces and families are changing is by bringing more generations under one roof. Post-college kids are choosing to save money and stay home, while elderly parents are moving in with their adult children and grandchildren. This has set off a flurry of demands for additions, conversions, and a readjustment in attitudes and living spaces to make room for a few more seats at the table.
4. Artisanal elements Many homeowners are choosing one-of-a-kind, handcrafted items. A piece of furniture or pottery or even a quilt that was made by hand can give your home a feel of warmth and personal style. After all, every antique has to start somewhere.
5. Outdoor living Possibly the most exciting shift in architecture is the push to create outdoor living spaces. It's about more than just a fancy grill and some patio furniture; outdoor kitchens can include pizza ovens, gas and electricity, and beer taps. To go along with cooking outside, many homeowners are choosing to grow their own food in raised garden beds and even fish ponds. Relaxing, socializing, and working from home are also moving outdoors. The near future is bringing changes in how we live, who we live with, and how we cook and eat. While some parts of the modern home are becoming ever more sleek and high-tech, others are showing off unique, handmade crafts. The best part of looking forward to 2013 trends? Being able to be a part of a beautiful shift towards eco-friendliness and sustainability.

Did Jenny McCarthy decide she's too young to be dating a grandpa?
The Dirty Love star and her longtime beau, Jim Carrey, have called it quits.
"Jim and Jenny have recently decided to end their five-year relationship," Carrey publicist Marleah Leslie said in a statement to E! News. "They are grateful for the many blessings they have shared and wish each other the very best."
The couple first announced their amicable split via their respective Twitter feeds.
To be frank, we did not see this one coming. Apparently we should have paid attention to the writing on the wall, not the writing in the sky.

Inlay Restorations
An inlay restoration is a custom made filling made of composite material, gold, or tooth-colored porcelain in order to repair broken or fractured fillings, decayed teeth or fractured fillings.
Inlays can be utilized to conservatively repair teeth that have large defective fillings or have been damaged by decay or trauma. Inlays are an ideal alternative to conventional silver and composite fillings. Also, they are more conservative than crowns because less tooth structure is removed in the preparation of inlays.
Porcelain Inlays:
Before During After
Inlays usually require a couple of appointments. They are made by a professional dental laboratory and are permanently cemented into the tooth by the dentist.
As with most dental restorations, inlays are not always permanent and may someday require replacement. They are highly durable and will last many years, giving you a beautiful long lasting smile.

An eternal flame flickers next to a modest little home owned by a Canadian doctor who saved millions of lives around the world. It is one of the many attractions to be found in this town, about 150 miles away via the QEW from Buffalo.
The Flame of Hope, kindled by the Queen Mother (Elizabeth II's mum) on July 7, 1989, is dedicated to those affected by diabetes and honors Sir Frederick G. Banting. He conceived the idea for insulin after awakening at 2 a.m. on Oct. 31, 1920, in the upstairs bedroom of this Queen Anne style house.
"Thank goodness he wrote it down," said Grant Maltman, curator of Banting House National Historic Site of Canada at 442 Adelaide St. North. A copy of Banting's 25-word note about "Diabetus" is on display in his bedroom, and scientists and people touched by diabetes come from all over the world to get inspiration at the "Birthplace of Insulin."
Banting was awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine in 1923 at age 32. He shared the prize with John James Rickard Macleod, a Toronto professor who offered Banting space in his lab and provided advice on methods for extracting insulin.
A decorated World War I hero, Banting was also an accomplished painter and wood carver. Along with surgical instruments, his art works, military medals, Memorial Cross and a replica of his Nobel Prize are displayed in the museum.
"A bronze statue picturing him at age 30 honors his legacy," Maltman said, "and the Flame of Hope will not be extinguished until a cure for diabetes is found."
Banting House is open from noon to 4 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday. Admission: Adults, $5; seniors and students, $4, and families, $12. www.diabetes.ca.
> London's oldest home
Eldon House is the oldest single-family residence in London. Built in 1834 for John and Amelia Harris, this Georgian and Regency style manse is located at 481 Ridout St., and overlooks a fork in the Thames River.
The home remained in the Harris family for four successive generations until it was donated to the City of London in 1960. With all the furnishings, photos, diaries and antiques perfectly preserved, the house has a real "Upstairs, Downstairs" or "Downton Abbey" feel.
For example, check out the row of bells over the kitchen door for summoning maids and cooks. The rooms of the servants are smaller and more sparsely decorated.
The owners' quarters are filled with souvenirs of their travels like animal horns, Delft tiles, African spears, Japanese carved ivory panels and an umbrella stand made from an elephant's foot.
One visitor loved the "frozen-in-time interior," and suggested opening the door to the closets "to see all the old clothes hanging. It's like the former owner just popped out a minute ago."
A costumed interpreter leads tours of the house and gardens from noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday to Sunday. Admission: by donation on Wednesday and Sunday. Other days: adults, $6; students and seniors, $5; children, $1, and families, $11.
A drawing room concert is planned at 2 p.m. March 11. A "Behind the Ropes" basement and attic tour is May 6, followed by a Mother's Day Tea at 1:30 and 3 p.m. May 13. Daily teas, costing $7, are served on the lawn from June 26 to Aug. 28. www.eldonhouse.ca.
> Museum London
One block from Eldon House at 421 Ridout St., is Museum London, which is home to 5,000 Canadian artworks and 25,000 artifacts reflecting the history of the city.
The glass and steel building was designed by Raymond Moriyama, the architect for the Ontario Science Center and Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto. Skylights illuminate exhibition halls and floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the Walter J. Blackburn Memorial Fountain with seven jets of water spraying out over the Thames.
Take in the great fountain/water view and a $10 lunch at the River Room, the museum's new cafe that opens at the end of March. Sunday is the best day to visit, with a free children's art program at Imagination Station at 1 p.m., followed by a free guided gallery tour at 2 p.m. and a free tour of Eldon House at 3 p.m.
Admission is by donation from noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday to Sunday. For information, check www.museumlondon.ca.
> Cold beer here
For history buffs with a thirst of a different kind, there is a two-hour tour and tasting at Labatt Brewery, 150 Simcoe St. John Kinder Labatt started brewing beer at this same location more than 160 years ago.
His first brewery produced about 1,000 bottles of beer. Today, the Labatt facility operates 24 hours a day, five days a week and churns out more than a billion bottles of suds per year.
Millions of beer bottles form an endless conveyor-belt parade as they are sorted, cleaned, filled, labeled and packaged into Labatt Blue cardboard cases.
Tour guides are knowledgeable and good-natured, answering all sorts of questions and stopping to let visitors run their fingers through samples of raw beer ingredients like hops, malt and rice.
Labatt is now part of global brewer Anheuser-Busch InBev, so sample brews include small cups of Blue, Bud Light, Budweiser, Stella Artois and Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale.
The weekday tours cost $10 and include a T-shirt emblazoned with an image of the cool red 1947 Labatt Streamliner delivery truck. Guests must remove jewelry and watches and are required to wear closed-toe shoes for safety reasons.
All tours must be reserved at email@example.com or by calling (519) 850-TOUR (8687). And don't forget to bring proof of age.
> A Grand ghost
Along with being London's premier performing arts theater, the Grand Theatre at 471 Richmond St., is believed to be the haunting grounds of a rather dramatic ghost.
"Ambrose Small, a successful entrepreneur with a chain of theaters across Ontario, originally built the Grand in 1901 and sold it for more than a million dollars in 1919," said Marty Rice of Tourism London.
"The suitcase full of money and Ambrose disappeared shortly after the sale. He was never heard from again," Rice said. "Until people working at the theater began to notice strange things. Costume seamstresses saw a mysterious figure in the shadows, set designers were surprised by plates falling off tables, odd things like that."
"And when the theater was undergoing restoration in 1977, the backhoe mysteriously stalled as it was about to excavate the right side of the stage," Rice continued. "Workers with shovels kept digging and when they got down a few feet, they discovered the whole right side of the stage was resting on just three bricks."
"Had the backhoe been working, the whole stage would have come tumbling down. And as soon as the structure was shored up safely, the backhoe started right up."
During its centennial celebration in 2001, the Grand honored Small's spirit by hanging his portrait on its second-floor poster lounge.
The season runs from October to May and includes "The Great Gatsby" (through March 3), "Tempting Providence" (March 13-31) and "Hair" (April 10-May 13). Times and ticket prices at www.grandtheatre.com.
> Top concert venue
Another entertainment venue echoes more from slapped pucks than poltergeists.
John Labatt Centre at 99 Dundas St., is home of the Ontario Hockey League London Knights, a Junior A team with upcoming teenage NHL prospects. The facility seats 9,090, so fans are close enough to feel the action and hear every eager check into the boards.
The Knights' season continues until March 16. The team shares arena time with the London Lightning National Basketball League team, curling and skating competitions, ice shows, Broadway productions and big-name rock acts.
For game and event dates, check out www.johnlabattcentre.com.
> Places to shop
Across the street from the JLC at 130 King St., is Covent Garden Market, an indoor bazaar that has been serving London since 1845. With more than 50 vendors, it is a place you can eat your way through -- sampling chocolates, cheeses, butter tarts, cupcakes, fresh-roasted coffee, sausage, soup and farm-fresh fruits and vegetables.
Other stalls include a chair massage, shoe repair shop, homeopathy products, a tea house, ethnic restaurants and a Labatt Blue Lounge. There's a free skating rink in front of the entrance and more farmer stands outside in the warmer weather.
Market hours are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday (until 7:30 p.m. Friday) and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. On weekends, underground parking is free for two hours and on weekdays the first 30 minutes are free. www.coventmarket.com.
A few blocks from Covent Garden is Kingsmill's, Canada's oldest department store. Founded in 1865 by Irish immigrant Thomas Frazer Kingsmill, the store is still operated by his descendants.
The art deco, four-story building at 130 Dundas St., features tin-plated ceilings, leaded-glass windows, hardwood floors, a pneumatic tube system to send paperwork and an old-style elevator with a friendly operator. It's reminiscent of Buffalo's Hengerer's or L.L. Berger's stores. www.kingsmills.com.
Continue to 258 Dundas St., to Jonathon Bancroft-Snell Gallery, Canada's largest contemporary Canadian ceramic gallery. The little storefront is unassuming, but the museum-quality exhibits of pottery, paintings and silver objets d'art go on forever in the 4,500-square-foot showroom. Owner Bancroft-Snell eagerly shares his encyclopedic knowledge about each piece and recently finished a new book on ceramic treasures. www.jonathons.ca.
> Out to eat
Braywick Bistro at 244 Dundas St., is a five-minute walk from the JLC and a good pregame restaurant. Some highlights from its fusion-based cuisine include hand-made spring rolls, Pad Thai, pineapple chicken curry and trademark "sweet potato stix." www.braywickbistro.ca.
Crabby Joe's Tap & Grill at 276 Dundas St., is a sport bar with lots of big-screen TVs, 39-cent wings on Tuesdays and pub fare like burgers, wraps and fajitas. Half-price appetizers are offered after 9 p.m. and kids eat free on Sundays. www.crabbyjoes.com.
Garlic's of London at 481 Richmond St., is adjacent to the Grand Theatre. The signature ingredient here -- garlic -- is in many culinary incarnations. Start with garlic and roasted onion bisque, followed by hot smoked garlic tagliatelle and finishing off with garlic ice cream (a perfect juxtaposition of savory and sweet). There are many other farm-to-table-inspired items. It's fun to crave the clove, just take a breath mint to the play next door. www.garlicsoflondon.com.

Idlewyld Inn, 36 Grand Ave.Intermediate string overflow www.idlewyldinn.com.
Delta London Armouries Hotel, 325 Dundas St.
> If you go
London is 146 miles west of Buffalo or about a three-hour drive. Take Queen Elizabeth Way to Red Hill Valley Parkway Exit 88, then follow Highways 403 and 401 west, taking Exit 189 north onto Highbury Avenue to Dundas Street.

Calico is committed to child and pet safety. Understanding that window shades containing cords can pose a home hazard, we have worked with our manufacturing partners over many years to ensure that our shades are made to the highest standards of design and safety.
In 2009 the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), working with the industry group Window Covering Manufacturers Association (WCMA) announced a plan to improve the manufacturing standards for corded window treatments. These new standards became effective in December 2010 and since then there have been further updates to the standards. Our shades meet all the latest safety standards set jointly by the CPSC and WCMA, including cord length and "cord shrouds" which prevent hazardous loops from forming, as well as multiple warning labels and tags (see example below) to ensure parents understand the potential for harm from corded shades.
These tips from the Window Covering Safety Council will help you evaluate and make changes where needed to enhance the safety of your home:

Bob Cole is a retired psychologist who, for over thirty years, worked with children with severe mental health issues. He has authored and presented academic material on dreaming, meditation, and behavior intervention. For eight years he taught at a local University the skills for working with children who had severe emotional disabilities as well as strategies for supporting their families. Dream analysis was an integral part of his work with the children and their families in that it opened doors of insight and communication that had often been closed to them as they struggled with the events of their lives.
For the last 15 years of his career, Bob developed and administrated mainstream, day treatment programs for the school districts in Santa Clara County. He coordinated the efforts of several mental health and residential service agencies that served children with special mental health needs.
Bob has also lead over 200 workshops, seminars and trainings for educators, psychologists, probation officers and private management in areas as diverse as acknowledgment, communication, coaching, affective education, management effectiveness and conflict resolution.
Bob currently lives with his wife in San Jose, California and interprets the dreams shared by their four grown children and two grandchildren and anyone else who dares to share them with him.

At Palo Verde Cancer Specialists, we understand how difficult of an experience it is to be diagnosed and fight against cancer – and we're here to help you do it, no matter what you're up against. We're proud to offer world-class radiation therapy cancer treatment at our six Phoenix, AZ cancer treatment facilities, and our treatment team works with patients individually to create personalized treatment plans that work with your lifestyle. We're proud to treat even the most difficult forms of cancer, and if you or a loved one have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, we're here to help.
Pancreatic cancer refers to any cancer that develops in the pancreas: a small, fish-shaped organ that sits behind the stomach. The pancreas plays an important role in digestion, secreting a variety of hormones and enzymes that aid in breaking down food and extracting nutrients.
Pancreatic cancer comes in two forms: exocrine and endocrine (neuroendocrine) tumors. Exocrine tumors are by far the most common, making up roughly 95% of diagnoses, while endocrine tumors account for the remaining 5%. Steve Jobs, former CEO of Apple, died from a very rare form of endocrine pancreatic cancer. Not all pancreatic growths are cancerous: some tumors may be completely benign, while others may have a risk of developing into cancer. This latter form is known as precancer.
Pancreatic cancer affects more than 40,000 people per year in the US, making it just short of the 10 most common forms of cancer. Unfortunately, pancreatic cancer is also one of the most dangerous forms of cancer. 5-year survival rates for Stage I pancreatic cancer are around 14%, while 5-year survival rates for Stage IV pancreatic cancer stand at just 1%. That said, even for people with the most severe form of pancreatic cancer, there's hope – and high-quality radiation therapy, like the kind we provide at our Phoenix, AZ cancer treatment facilities, offers one of the best options for treating pancreatic cancer.
The earlier pancreatic cancer is detected and diagnosed, the more likely that treatment will be effective, which makes it important to know the symptoms of pancreatic cancer and watch for any signs of the disease. The most common symptoms include:
While pancreatic cancer is one of the most deadly cancerous conditions, at Palo Verde Cancer Specialists, we firmly believe there's always hope. Thanks to the huge advances made in radiation therapy technology in recent years, modern cancer treatments are more effective than ever, providing hope even for patients with advanced forms of pancreatic and other cancers. If you'd like to find out more about how we can help you beat cancer and reclaim whole body health, contact us today to schedule an appointment or get a second opinion on your diagnosis. Fighting cancer is a matter of life and death, and you deserve the absolute best in your treatment – and that's exactly what Palo Verde Cancer Specialists is here to provide.

Topic Page: Coke
substance obtained by the destructive distillation of bituminous coal. Coke bears the same relation to coal as does charcoal to wood. A hard, gray, massive, porous fuel, coke is the solid residue remaining after bituminous coal is heated to a high temperature out of contact with air until substantially all components that easily vaporize have been driven off. The residue is chiefly carbon, with minor amounts of hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur, and oxygen. Also present in coke is the mineral matter in the original coal, chemically altered and decomposed.
Since the vapor-producing constituents are driven off during coke production, coke is an ideal fuel for stoves and furnaces in which the environment is unsuitable for the complete burning of bituminous coal itself. In the form of oven coke it is primarily used when a porous fuel with few impurities and high carbon content is desired, as in the blast furnace to make iron. Coke is also used in other metallurgical processes, such as the manufacture of ferro-alloys, lead, and zinc, and in kilns to make lime and magnesium. Exceptionally large strong coke is known as foundry coke and is used in foundry cupolas to smelt iron ores. The smallest sizes of coke are used to heat buildings.
The majority of coke produced in the United States comes from byproduct coke ovens. The coke is prepared in retorts or furnaces of silica brick, and the byproducts (chiefly ammonia, coal tar, and gaseous compounds) are saved. These volatile gases are collected and sent to the byproduct plant where various byproducts are recovered. In nonrecovery coke plants, originally referred to as beehive ovens, the coal is carbonized in large oven chambers; the partially combusted gases collect in a common tunnel and exit via a stack. In recovery coke plants the waste gas exits into a waste heat recovery boiler which converts the excess heat into steam for power generation.
Petroleum coke is the solid residue left by the cracking process of oil refining. Natural coke, or carbonite, is formed by metamorphism from bituminous coal when intrusive igneous rock cuts across a vein of coal.

E. Frequently Used Command Utility Commands
You can start a broker either interactively, using the Message Queue command line utilities or the Windows Start menu, or by arranging for it to start automatically at system startup. The following sections describe how.
You can start a broker interactively from the command line, using the Broker utility (imqbrokerd). (Alternatively, on Windows, you can start a broker from the Start menu.) You cannot use the Administration Console (imqadmin) or the Command utility (imqcmd) to start a broker; the broker must already be running before you can use these tools.
On the Solaris and Linux platforms, a broker instance must always be started by the same user who initially started it. Each broker instance has its own set of configuration properties and file-based persistent data store. When the broker instance first starts, Message Queue uses the user's file creation mode mask (umask) to set permissions on directories containing the configuration information and persistent data for that broker instance.
A broker instance has the instance name imqbroker by default. To start a broker from the command line with this name and the default configuration, simply use the commandimqbrokerd
This starts a broker instance named imqbroker on the local machine, with the Port Mapper at the default port of 7676 (see Port Mapper).
To specify an instance name other than the default, use the-name option to the imqbrokerd command. The following command starts a broker with the instance name myBroker:imqbrokerd -name myBroker
Other options are available on the imqbrokerd command line to control various aspects of the broker's operation. See Broker Utility for complete information on the syntax, subcommands, and options of the imqbrokerd command. For a quick summary of this information, enter the following command:imqbrokerd -help
For example, the following command uses the-tty option to send errors and warnings to the command window (standard output):imqbrokerd -name myBroker -tty
You can also use the -D option on the command line to override the values of properties specified in the broker's instance configuration file (config.properties). The instance configuration file is described under Modifying Configuration Files. The following example sets a broker's imq.jms.max_threads property, raising the maximum number of threads available to the jms connection service to 2000:imqbrokerd -name myBroker -Dimq.jms.max_threads=2000
Instead of starting a broker explicitly from the command line, you can set it up to start automatically at system startup. How you do this depends on the platform (Solaris, Linux, or Windows) on which you are running the broker:
The method for enabling automatic startup on the Solaris 10 platforms is different from that for Solaris 9. Both are described below.
On Solaris 9 operating system, scripts that enable automatic startup are placed in the /etc/rc* directory tree during Message Queue installation. To enable the use of these scripts, you must edit the configuration file imqbrokerd.conf (located in the IMQ_HOME/etc/ directory) as follows:
To start the broker automatically at system startup, set the AUTOSTART property to YES.
To have the broker restart automatically after an abnormal exit, set the RESTART property to YES.
To set startup command line arguments for the broker, specify one or more values for the ARGS property.
To disable automatic broker startup at system startup, edit the configuration file /etc/imq/imqbrokerd.conf and set the AUTOSTART property to NO.
Rather than using an rc file to implement automatic broker startup when a computer reboots, the following procedure makes use of the Solaris 10 Service Management Facility (SMF).
For more information on using the Service Management Facility, please refer to Solaris 10 documentation.
# cp /var/svc/manifest/application/sun/mq/mqbroker /lib/svc/method
# chmod 555 /lib/svc/method/mqbroker
# svccfg import /var/svc/manifest/application/sun/mq/mqbroker.xml
# svcs mqbroker
Output resembles the following:
STATE STIME FMRI disabled 16:22:50 svc:/application/sun/mq/mqbroker:default
The service is initially shown as disabled.
# svcadm enable svc:/application/sun/mq/mqbroker:default
Enabling the mqbroker service will start the imqbrokerd process. A reboot will subsequently restart the broker.
The options/broker_args property is used to pass arguments toimqbrokerd. For example to add -loglevel DEBUGHIGH, do the following:
# svccfg svc:> select svc:/application/sun/mq/mqbroker svc:/application/sun/mq/mqbroker> setprop options/broker_args="-loglevel DEBUGHIGH" svc:/application/sun/mq/mqbroker> exit
# svcadm disable svc:/application/sun/mq/mqbroker:default
A subsequent reboot will not restart the broker.
On Linux systems, scripts that enable automatic startup are placed in the /etc/rc* directory tree during Message Queue installation. To enable the use of these scripts, you must edit the configuration file imqbrokerd.conf (located in the IMQ_HOME/etc/ directory) as follows:
To start the broker automatically at system startup, set the AUTOSTART property to YES.
To have the broker restart automatically after an abnormal exit, set the RESTART property to YES.
To set startup command line arguments for the broker, specify one or more values for the ARGS property.
To disable automatic broker startup at system startup, edit the configuration file /etc/opt/sun/mq/imqbrokerd.conf and set the AUTOSTART property to NO.
To start a broker automatically at Windows system startup, you must define the broker as a Windows service. The broker will then start at system startup time and run in the background until system shutdown. Consequently, you will not need to use the Message Queue Broker utility (imqbrokerd) unless you want to start an additional broker.
A system can have no more than one broker running as a Windows service. The Windows Task Manager lists such a broker as two executable processes:
The native Windows service wrapper, imqbrokersvc.exe
The Java runtime that is running the broker
You can install a broker as a service when you install Message Queue on a Windows system. After installation, you can use the Service Administrator utility (imqsvcadmin) to perform the following operations:
Add a broker as a Windows service
Determine the startup options for the broker service
Disable a broker from running as a Windows service
To pass startup options to the broker, use the -args option to the imqsvcadmin command. This works the same way as the imqbrokerd command's -D option, as described under Starting Brokers. Use the Command utility (imqcmd) to control broker operations as usual.
See Service Administrator Utility for complete information on the syntax, subcommands, and options of the imqsvcadmin command.
The procedure for reconfiguring a broker installed as a Windows service is as follows:
Alternatively, you can right-click on Message Queue Broker and choose Properties from the pop-up context menu, or simply double-click on Message Queue Broker. In either case, the Message Queue Broker Properties dialog box will appear.
On the command line, enter the commandimqsvcadmin remove
For example, to change the service's host name and port number to broker1 and 7878, you could use the commandimqsvcadmin install -args "-name broker1 -port 7878"
You can use either the imqsvcadmin command's -javahome or -jrehome option to specify the location of an alternative Java runtime. (You can also specify these options in the Start Parameters field under the General tab in the service's Properties dialog window.)
Note - The Start Parameters field treats the backslash character (\) as an escape character, so you must type it twice when using it as a path delimiter: for example,-javahome c:\\j2sdk1.4.0
To determine the startup options for the broker service, use the imqsvcadmin query command, as shown in Example 3-1.
Example 3-1 Displaying Broker Service Startup Options
To disable a broker from running as a Windows service, use the commandimqcmd shutdown bkr
to shut down the broker, followed byimqsvcadmin remove
to remove the service.
Alternatively, you can use the Windows Services tool, reached via the Administrative Tools control panel, to stop and remove the broker service.
Restart your computer after disabling the broker service.
If you get an error when you try to start a broker as a Windows service, you can view error events that were logged:

Beaumont/Port Arthur
I've spent the better part of the past couple of weeks fishing on Sabine Lake. During that time, we've caught everything but the kitchen sink on a variety of lures from Wedgetail Mullets to Bayou Chubs made by Egret Baits. Without a doubt, the most consistent action has been chasing the birds. That's where lots of anglers are taking specks, reds and some of the biggest sand trout I've ever seen.
As one would suspect, the duck season opening weekend was a good one. Those that hunted spots with water and or food made quick work of limits. By far, teal were the most numerous birds that showed up on the stringers. There were also shovelars, pintail and widgeon also in fair numbers. Since the opening weekend, the last cool front pushed some gadwall and mallards into the area.
Certainly we are on the edge of "D" day as this article is published, the D indicating the opening of both deer and duck seasons. Much time and expense has already been put forth just getting ready for these annual events. On the Friday before the deer season opener, our local major highways are packed to the gills with vehicles either carrying ATVs or pulling trailers with ATVs aboard. The deer hunters, being confident folks, will also be taking plenty of. The caravan reminds one of mass evacuation that we have witnessed before, except on a smaller scale.
The first couple of weeks of November are two of the best you'll experience on the right side of Texas. Deer and duck seasons are open, and fishing on Sabine Lake for trout and reds under the birds is red hot.
The entire month of November is prime time deer hunting in the Pineywoods. There is one reason why – bucks are in the rut and running does all over the place night and day. It's not easy to get the jump on a mature buck, unless you hunt the rut.
Just recently, I was kayaking on B.A. Steinhagen Reservoir near Jasper and couldn't help but notice the number of tent and RV campers in the adjacent Martin Dies Jr. State Park. It was a cool Saturday morning and aside from folks cooking breakfast around their campsites, I saw hikers, bikers and lots of people on the water paddling rental canoes.
The central zone dove season is already closed until Dec. 23 and the south zone is closing Oct. 30 until Dec. 23, but with duck, goose, and deer seasons opening Nov. 5, hunters are all smiles. And saltwater fishing on the inland lakes and bays could hardly be better. The speckled trout, redfish, croaker, sand trout and flounder are showing up in many coolers.
Ah, sweet October – cooler weather and all the reds and trout you want to catch under the birds on Sabine Lake. It's doesn't get much better than that.
During the times of the year where the prevailing winds are southeast with some due south and southwest thrown in, the marshes hold plenty of water. The past couple years the salt content, even back in the marshes, has been higher than normal. Many species of saltwater fish have been caught by anglers who were fishing for up into the rivers. Both the Neches River and the Sabine River have yielded some excellent catches of speckled trout, redfish, flounder, croaker and sand trout.
With the great October fishing going on, it is a good idea not to overlook preparing for he upcoming duck, goose, quail, pheasant, turkey and general deer season. For one reason or the other, some folks including this writer will continue to procrastinate concerning preparing for hunting. There are a good number of things that should be taken care of before much more time slips away.
The archery season on deer is open for the entire month of October, and once again bowhunters will be allowed to use both crossbows and compound bows in most Texas counties. The only county not allowing crossbows is Grayson.
The big question is what can hunters expect to see, now that we're in the middle of the worst drought in Texas history? Without a doubt, white-tailed deer in Texas are facing tough conditions heading into the fall hunting season.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Live the life of a modern-day tea planter at Camellia Hills, a luxurious five-bedroom boutique bungalow hotel near Dickoya, in Sri Lanka's crisp hill country. From its verdant valley-side perch, views of the mirror-still Castlereagh Reservoir and surrounding tea-wrapped hills are spectacular – drink in the panoramas while relaxing on cushy sofas warmed by an open fire, dining in the semi open air or swimming lengths of the refreshing garden pool.
Castlereagh Reservoir is a mesmerising island-dotted lake surrounded by steeply rising hills planted with impossibly neat rows of vivid green tea, around 18-kilometres from the market town of Hatton. Hidden in amongst this emerald jaw-dropping scenery are century-old tea factories, gushing waterfalls, colonial-era churches and colourful Hindu shrines.
A homely bungalow with five uniquely designed bedrooms feasting on far-reaching views of the surrounding hills and Castlereagh Reservoir, each cosily furnished in a contemporary style.

The Sleekgeek REBOOT is a short and focused 30-day nutrition challenge designed to re-orientate you towards healthier eating habits and better overall health.
Nutrition can be really confusing and making big life changes is scary. This is why so many people come into the Sleekgeek community looking for help and the right place to start.
What should or shouldn't they eat? How can they lose 10kgs? What do we think of Herbalife or USN shakes? Low-carb or low-gi carb? What about thyroid, or hormones, or gut health, or calories, or sports performance? Or even just how can they be healthier and more energetic in general?
Our own personal experience and countless testimonials from within our community, combined with the latest scientific research has made it clear that one of the best things that people can do is just get back to the basics of eating real food. Food that gives us the nutrients we need to thrive, are anti-inflammatory, and help us fight off disease.
Therefore, our advice is to: Eat food that contributes positively towards your overall health, while at the same time avoiding or eating less unhealthy food that can detract from your health.
There are many different ways to go about improving your diet, all with their own pros and cons. We have found that short and focused 30-day challenges, like the REBOOT, are a great way to get your head in the game and stick to your commitment.
Once you have read all the content on this page and you are ready to commit be sure to take our pledge at the bottom of the page, that way we can send you some free resources to help you get off to a strong start.
The REBOOT may not be for everyone, or it may be one of the best things you ever do. You may find that 30-days is just the right length, whereas others might prefer to continue on with this approach for life. We suggest that you read through the full description below to see whether it sounds right for you.
Our guidelines are based on the popular and effective Paleo Diet. Not necessarily the concept of eating like a caveman, but more just because of the evidence showing the benefits of eating biologically appropriate real food and the detrimental effects of over-consuming highly-refined food-products.
We have found this to be an easy, reasonable, gimmick-free approach that anyone can start off with to immediately improve their general nutrition, health, digestion, energy, athletic performance, and weight-loss efforts.
All we ask for is that you give us 30 days to completely transform your life.
After that, you can make your own informed choice about what works well for you and what doesn't. You can then adapt the guidelines with the help of the Sleekgeek community to fit your unique long-term healthy lifestyle needs and preferences.
With this challenge, we are going to help you improve your nutrition so that you can feel ALIVE and VITAL. That means being full of energy and ready to enjoy life to the fullest, resting assured that you are eating well and that the nutrition aspect of your health is right on track.
The goal of the REBOOT is to:
Best of all is that we have a community of thousands of people just like you who are dedicated to supporting each other to succeed. We are all in this together, right from day one!
The Sleekgeek REBOOT will show you how certain nutrient-depleted and inflammation-promoting processed foods combined with the demand for convenience and quick fixes has taken over modern society for the worst. It has lead to a sub-optimal quality of life for the average person and created a heavy reliance on
healthcare sickcare medication and stimulants to keep them functioning on a daily basis.
Our program is built upon the Paleo Diet's fundamental concept that we are genetically adapted to eating certain foods for optimal health and performance. It recognises that many modern-day processed food-products containing things like sugar, grains, dairy, and artificial ingredients are infamous for having a negative impact on your health and are responsible for much of the chronic illness and disease that is plaguing the world at a startlingly unprecedented rate.
You will be surprised by how well your body responds to just a few days of eating real food that provides it with all the vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients it needs to function properly.
We believe these are some of the most nutrient-dense, high-quality foods available that will help you to build a solid foundation of good nutrition, while also being least problematic (in terms of inflammation, allergies, contamination, toxins, addictive qualities, etc) when it comes to achieving optimal health.
This Green List above addresses the issue of what is "normal" to eat versus what is "average" to eat.
When you really take a close look at what the average person is eating, very little of it is food such as those listed above that are still in their original state. It usually has been extensively processed, had unhealthy ingredients added, or somewhat changed in a way that reduces the amount of useful nutrition it provides.
Common foods are increasing in their entertainment, convenience, and pleasurable value – but losing essential functionality and nutrition.
Food is not just "fuel" or energy, it is information that communicates with every cell in your body! Along with enough high-quality energy from the 3 main Macronutrients in your diet (proteins, carbohydrates, and fats) – for good health it is essential that we also consume enough micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), phytochemicals (non-nutritive plant chemicals that have protective or disease preventive properties, such as flavonoids), zoochemicals (EPA, DHA, CLA, Creatine, Carnosine, etc), and water.
Unfortunately sufficient nutrients (especially high-quality and bioavailable ones) are rare to find in today's common processed foods.
Interpretation of what is "normal" is actually just "average" and it is based off what the majority of others around us are eating or what the media is showing us. But now consider what else is normal in today's society? We see people that are tired of all their constant aches and pains, they carry excess body fat, they feel sluggish and have low energy, they sleep poorly, and always seem to suffer from bouts of heartburn, constipation, and just a general lack of ability to enjoy every moment of life to the fullest.
If you want to be part of the seemingly "superhuman" group of people (who are really just people living life with their bodies functioning at its normal, optimal capacity), you probably need to take better care of your body more than what the average person does. That's reasonable right?
This is why we challenge you to try the Sleekgeek REBOOT for 30 days, get away from what is just "average" – average foods, average health, average life – and start making these basic changes that will improve your health for the better.
This second half of the REBOOT guidelines may come as a bit of a shock to the system for some people. Even though we just listed a long list of good stuff above, you may already be saying to yourself: "What on Earth is there possibly still left to eat?!" or "There is no way that I could give up my cereal in the morning and milk in my coffee!"
This is because our society has become so conditioned into accepting fast food, breakfast cereals, chocolate bars, slices of toast, caramel muffins, pizza, microwave meals, and other conveniences as part of our everyday lives.
That is not food.
The problem is that they are food-like products which almost always contain toxic artificial ingredients and are devoid of beneficial nutritional value. Many have been proven to cause a significant amount of systemic inflammation in the body, damage our gut and digestive tract, exacerbate allergies and skin conditions, disrupt proper hormonal functioning, and promote the storage of unwanted body fat.
The result is that people are becoming overfed yet undernourished.
In contrast, food should be nourishing. When you eat you should feel satisfied and sustained without the need to gorge and binge, and yet still somehow be crippled with cravings a mere 2 hours later. Each meal should contribute positively towards your overall vitality and create optimal conditions within your body for you to thrive so that you can perform at your best.
Society is always looking for the "secret". That magic pill or super food that they can add to their diet in order to solve all of their problems. But that just is the problem. All the stuff that has been added to our diets!
Instead of looking for a band-aid for the problem, we should be focusing on the cause and removing it from our diet.
It is important to understand that the REBOOT is proscriptive far more than it is prescriptive. This means it identifies foods that are doing your body more harm than good and eliminates them, going straight to the root of the problem. What do you have left? Real food! High-quality, non-toxic, nutrient-dense sources of food that are full of the necessary micronutrients that the human body thrives on.
The Orange List is the exceptions / grey area / in-between rules for the REBOOT. It gives permission to eat certain exceptions, such as butter – but cautious the consumption of certain allowed foods such as dates or non-dairy milks.
Read more about the REBOOT Orange List and the exceptions here for a better understanding of the reasoning and logic behind them.
That's all you need to know!
Well done for making your way through the whole description of the REBOOT! Hopefully it sounds reasonable to you and makes sense.
This is so exciting, well done!

What is Rainscreen?Rainscreen is a façade designed to protect the fabric of a building, whilst giving it a decorative finish. The choice of materials used as a rainscreen are vast, all with different aesthetic and technical qualities. Popular rainscreen options include brick, stone, granite and light-weight materials such as Zinc, Aluminium, High Pressure Laminates (HPL), Aluminium Composites or Timber.
Wall Constructions
Rainscreen cladding can be used on block, pre-cast concrete or on integral wall (timber or steel) constructions. Typically, insulation is placed on the outside of the structural wall. Best practice is to install an aluminium rail system on the structural wall, and it's on this rails system that the actual panels are affixed. The specification of the rails depends entirely on a combination of the features of the panels to be hung, and the location of the building.
- Types of Rainscreen >
- Brick, Stone & Ceramic
- Light Metallic Panels
- Timber Cladding
- High Pressure Laminates
There are many different types of rainscreen – each with their own characteristics and benefits. Please click on any tab for a quick overview on each option.
Characteristics: Heavy traditional façade construction.
Benefits: Traditional look & Feel. Relatively maintenance-free & lasts many years.
Characteristics: Light-weight construction method. Back-ventilated rainscreen that can be shaped.
Benefits: Available in a wide-range of colours, including metallic. Can be routered, folded and shaped. "Origami in metal". Can accommodate 200+mm of insulation.
Characteristics: Light-weight cladding that looks traditional. Natural and warm.
Benefits: Natural look & feel, but requires maintenance and treatment, otherwise can look stained or dirty after a few years.
Characteristics: Light-weight construction. Coloured, robust and 3D shaped. Back-ventilated rainscreen.
Benefits: Wide range of colours and effects, including wood and metallic. Can accommodate 200mm+ or insulation. Can look traditional or modern, giving a "clinical or homely" look & feel.
Why Rainscreen Works
Rainscreen provides a weather-resistant decorative finish to a building. Using a tried and trusted system of rails, air-gap, insulation and suspended panelling, Architects can control the inside environment of a building, whilst providing an aesthetic exterior finish.
All of our cladding systems are designed for ventilated cladding façades. Ventilated façades promote "Healthier Buildings". This construction method allows for insulation (even 200mm+) to be placed on the exterior of a building thereby minimising thermal bridging. It also means that excessive heat & cold can be dissipated away through the ventilation gap between the panel and insulation materials which can reduce heating and cooling costs of a building.
The range of rails and cladding panels provided by Elemental, ensure that your building remains highly weather resistant and insulated. Our vast selection of panel types and finishes, mean that you can get just the bespoke look that was envisaged at the design stage.
All of our cladding panels and rail systems are suitable for both new and refurbishment applications. Many buildings can be given a facelift by installing an attractive light weight-façade over a tired façade.
Our cladding systems can be installed from "ground up" or "top down".
Call Elemental on +353 (0)1 293 8951 to discuss your cladding requirements
Design Stage
At the design stage, we can work with you to outline the many options available for both aluminium rails systems as well as the cladding choices that can be fitted to them. We can detail the pros and cons of different rail, bracket and panel solutions as well as help you to narrow down the many options, based on aesthetic, technical and cost factors.
Cladding & Rail Procurement
We can assist in the design process, pre-cut and package the chosen cladding panels for installation, as well as supplying the supporting Aluminium Rail system and other necessary accessories. Our rail system is "best in industry" and our panel materials all carry British Board Agrement (BBA) Certification, to independently verify that our products can withstand years of abuse from the elements.
Installation & Aftercare
Our service includes "Tool box talks" and visits from manufacturers to advise & supervise initial installation by the fixing crews. Panels can be delivered in numbered sections per façade or elevation, precut, drilled and routered to size to minimise site time & costs.

WRC's cash/talent dilemma
These days rallying's top echelon survives almost exclusively on private funding - but what it should be doing, argues DAVID EVANS, is investing in the future to protect its teams and drivers
A decade ago, the unthinkable happened to Colin McRae - he was dropped by Citroen and left unemployed in the World Rally Championship for 2004.
Just eight years after winning his first world title and just five years after becoming the highest paid rally driver in WRC history, courtesy of a multi-million pound, sport-shaping deal with Ford, the Scot was out. In McRae's final full season, there had been six teams all paying frontline drivers good money. At least 16 drivers could rightly call themselves professionals in 2003.

Every year, there is a new diet trend. Gluten-free diets and juicing crazes are just a few of the many trends that people today are following. People follow a diet for a variety of reasons, such as weight loss and increased energy. Many people are confused because there are so many diet plans. They do not know which diet is best.
The Journal of American College of Cardiology has reviewed several peer-reviewed studies in order to determine which diet plan is the best. Dr. Andrew Freeman is one of the people who reviewed the studies. He is also the Director of Cardiovascular Prevention And Wellness At National Jewish Health.
He stated that when you take the time to look at the data, you will realize that people have not changed much over the years. Dr. Freeman also stated that an in-depth analysis of all of the studies revealed that the best diets are ones that are filled with leafy green vegetables, fruits, berries and extra virgin olive oil. Nuts should be eaten in moderation and consumption of animal protein should be limited.
Dr. Keith Ayoob does not believe that diet recommendations are black and white. He believes that people should consult with their physician in order to find a diet plan that is right for them. Dr. Ayoob believes that people should increase their fruit and vegetable intake. However, it may not be wise to tell everyone to avoid certain foods because many people cannot stick to strict diets. Dr. Ayoob was not involved in the study.

A MYSTERIOUS Brünnich's GUILLEMOT
By Martin Heubeck
Reprinted from the Shetland Bird Club Newsletter No. 169
There are two freezers in the basement at Sumburgh Head into which dead birds get put, usually but not always in a plastic bag clearly marked with the species, date, location and finder. Every so often I box up some of the more interesting specimens and mail them to Bob McGowan at the National Museums of Scotland. This is what I did, in a hurry, on 7th March 2010 and I later emailed Bob a list of the birds I'd sent. One was the Brünnich's Guillemot found on Scousburgh beach by Roger Riddington on 25th March 2007, which had been properly bagged and labelled, but there had been another Brünnich's in the freezer, not in a bag and not labelled, which at the time I assumed had to have been that found by Mick Mellor at West Yell on 4th May 2006. However, I do remember being puzzled when I packed it, because I thought I'd already sent that one off; stupidly, I didn't check the photos of that individual, which was in summer plumage and clearly a different bird.
I'd forgotten all about this until I got an email from Bob on 9th August, who'd only just got around to defrosting and opening the box. The West Yell bird was indeed already in the skin collection – so where had this one been found, and by whom? Who had put it in the freezer, and why? The pale tomium (pale stripe along the upper mandible), the extent of black on the face, the blackness of the upperwing and the dark shaft on the outer primary all point to Brünnich's Guillemot, but the only clues to its origin are that it is in winter plumage and appears to have been found on a sandy beach. Pete Ellis and Mick Mellor are certain they had never seen this bird before, it rang no bells with Helen Moncrieff, and few other people have access to the freezers. The twine around the neck and through the gape is highly unusual for a Common Guillemot, and had it been a beached bird survey corpse mis-identified as Common Guillemot it should have been recorded as 'entangled'.

A check of beached bird survey records found only two entangled Common Guillemots between January 2000 and February 2010. One, on Bardister Ness in Sullom Voe on 27th February 2003 (monofil) didn't fit the bill, as Bardister Ness is rocky and the orange twine on the mystery bird isn't monofil. The other, on Sands of Meal, Burra on Tuesday 28th January 2003 'unaged remains (rope)' looked more promising. Dave Okill normally covers Sands of Meal but has no memory of picking up a guillemot tangled in twine, or of putting one in the freezer. Since that day was an Up Helly Aa Tuesday, Dave should have been at work, with no daylight outside working hours. It is quite possible I did this survey, but for me to have scored a Guillemot as unaged means there would have been very little left of it, and I can't believe I would have overlooked the head features and not checked the outer primary shaft on such an interesting corpse.
This leaves us in the embarrassing situation of there being a 15th record of Brünnich's Guillemot for Shetland, but with no idea as to when or where it was found. There can only be two reasons why somebody took the trouble to put this bird in the freezer (or asked somebody to store it). First, they knew or suspected it was a Brünnich's Guillemot but forgot all about it and forgot to tell anybody. This seems most unlikely. Second, they didn't realise it was a Brünnich's but thought the fact that it was entangled in twine was unusual enough for somebody to be interested in it. If anyone can shed any light on this mystery bird, please contact me, Martin Heubeck Mansefield, Dunrossness, Shetland ZE2 9JH.

The mention of being pro-life is often met by eye-rolls, as something out of style, obsolete even, since abortion has been legal for over forty years. Even Pope Francis said in his first major papal interview that "We cannot insist only on issues related to abortion, gay marriage and the use of contraceptive methods." There is something about the pro-life movement that even the pope admits has a passe, judgmental characteristic. While there is some reason for this and also some vibrant new responses, I would like to point out that as a legal issue in America, abortion is not as settled as the forty year precedent of Roe v. Wade may suggest.
There are two quiet pieces of U.S. law that mount a stand for the lives of unborn infants by prohibiting federal funding for abortion: the Helms and Hyde Amendments. These legislative acts are protected in Congress each year by pro-life Republicans, who do not always receive obvious credit or press accolades. The Helms and Hyde Amendments are not guaranteed features of American civic society and they came under fire from the Democratic candidates during the 2016 election both from Bernie Sanders and from nominee Hillary Clinton. The fight to protect all lives is far from over, and the issue of federal funding still looms precariously.
What are the Helms/Hyde Amendments?
The Helms Amendment is a 1973 addition to the Foreign Assistance Act that prohibits U.S.-funded health providers from performing abortions abroad. It states that "no foreign assistance funds may be used to pay for the performance of abortion as a method of family planning or to motivate or coerce any person to practice abortions." It prevents American charity groups from performing abortions in other countries. Because abortion is not required, it allows many pro-life and faith-based groups to compete for government grants and to provide humanitarian services overseas.
The Hyde Amendment is its domestic counterpart, preventing federally-funded health programs, such as Medicaid from covering abortions, except in cases of rape, incest and where the life of the mother is threatened. The Hyde Amendment is a "rider," not a permanent law, and is attached to the congressional budget annually. States, however, may opt to use their own funds to add abortion coverage to Medicaid. Currently, seventeen states do so. Medicaid does, of course, cover prenatal care and neonatal care for mothers and infants.
Why does that matter?
The Hyde Amendment limits abortion by making is functionally difficult and expensive. It also allows pro-life citizens, i.e. taxpayers, freedom from funding the grave procedure, which we believe equates to murder. Without Hyde, any abortion opponent would be cooperating in the funding of it, and organizations such as Catholic Charities would be far more constrained in offering services to the needy.
How is the Hyde Amendment under fire?
Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider, and others on the left have argued that the Hyde Amendment's restrictions in Medicaid disproportionately harm low-income women, "forcing those already struggling to make ends meet to pay the biggest proportion of her income for safe, legal care." What they mean is that those covered by private insurance often need not pay out-of-pocket for having an abortion. Planned Parenthood's argument is correct in that abortion is thereby harder to come by for low-income women, but it silently assumes that abortion is the best solution for unintended pregnancy, ignoring that actual pregnancy and infant care are covered. That being said, the pro-life movement has work to do to provide more resources for struggling families and single mothers.
During the 2016 campaign, Hillary Clinton vowed to repeal the Hyde Amendment, if elected, a radical step that had never been an official part of the Democratic Party platform. In January 2016, Eesha Pandit at Alternet said, "At a campaign rally in New Hampshire last weekend, Clinton called for getting rid of the policy, calling it a law that makes it 'harder for low-income women to exercise their full rights.'" Since she is not the president-elect, it is unlikely that Hyde will be eliminated during the next administration. However, what Clinton's proposal makes clear is that Hyde is and will be a target of progressive leaders. What is currently held territory is likely to become a battlezone in the near future.
Reform or Repeal of the Affordable Care Act (ACA)
Despite left-leaning opposition, there is still strength in the Congressional pro-life movement, as evidenced by the fact that Democratic president Obama's signature piece of legislation, the Affordable Care Act (ACA or Obamacare), included abortion limits in the spirit of Hyde. The ACA does not mandate abortion coverage, and states have the option to expand Medicaid coverage of abortion or to prevent abortion from being covered by any plan marketed through the healthcare exchanges. The ACA's continuation of the Hyde Amendment functionally gives states significant leeway in how much funding they allocate to abortion, which means there is a good deal of room for pro-life activism as the states implement and respond to changes in the federal insurance laws.
It also means that there could have been vastly more abortion funding than there was. The ACA did include the contraception mandate—that all healthcare plans include contraceptives as preventive care–but not an abortion mandate.
As the ACA comes under scrutiny from the president-elect, for good reasons such as the aforementioned contraception mandate or the law's association with ever-climbing healthcare costs, it may be repealed or revised. Accordingly, there is potential to expand respect for the nascent lives of the tiniest humans alongside respect for their older counterparts. President-elect Trump has pledged support to the pro-life cause, but has a history of flip-flopping on the issue. In 1999, he said he was "very pro-choice." There is no reason to assume that Mr. Trump will be a friend to voters of faith and moral commitments on abortion or other issues, such as euthanasia.
Healthcare and insurance have become perhaps the central issues of domestic politics, and therefore the boxing ring of opposing anthropologies, or understandings of the human person, the place where pro-life principles touchdown and where they must be defended.
Abortion may be polarizing and difficult, but it matters and lives are saved and lost daily. Far from being obsolete or finished, life issues are hot and current. While always holding compassion for women and mothers, pro-life advocacy is far from over. It needs to be revitalized, it needs to acknowledge the Helms and Hyde protections, to fight for them and to become willing to do even more at a functional level of providing dignified alternatives to abortion that put our money where our mouth is and proclaim that children, women and families matter as much as unborn lives who will one day develop into them.
