|Condition or disease
|Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive
|Drug: Tiotropium Bromide Drug: Placebo
|Phase 3
This is a 3 month, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel group study to compare with placebo the long-term effect of tiotropium inhalation capsules on daily physical activity in patients with COPD.
The drugs will be administered in the form of inhalation capsules of tiotropium or placebo, taken once daily in the morning.
The record of daily physical activity using the accelerometer will be carried out at all study visits other than Visit 1. The accelerometer will be used for the five day period, from Thursday to Monday, closest to the corresponding visit.
The pulmonary function tests will be carried out at Visit 1 (screening visit), Visit 2 (baseline visit) and study visits (Visits 3 to 5) with the restrictions detailed at the trial protocol.
Study Hypothesis:
The null hypothesis is that there is no difference between tiotropium (Spiriva) and placebo regarding the magnitude of exercise measured with an accelerometer. The alternative hypothesis is that there is a difference between tiotropium (Spiriva) and placebo regarding the magnitude of exercise measured with an accelerometer.
The difference in physical activity measured in vector magnitude units (VMUs) by the triaxial Stayhealthy RT3 accelerometer at the end of the three month treatment period compared to placebo.

Garstang were beaten 8-0 by Pilkington in midweek on a terrible night when everything conspired against them.
Already missing keeper Will Kitchen, Riversiders' boss Richard Cookney saw neither back-up keeper able to play with the result that Marc Armstrong went in goal at 45 minutes' notice.
The kick-off had been delayed because of the motorway conditions, and when play got underway, the home side should have been awarded a penalty when debutant Gary Basterfield was clearly tripped in the box after just 25 seconds.
To everyone's astonishment, the referee waved away the vociferous appeals for a penalty.
The start was very even but the deadlock was broken on eight minutes when a free-kick was hit into the Garstang box and Armstrong was unable to come out and collect.
Ben Maddocks nipped in and steered the ball past him into the far corner.
Things got worse when Armstrong tore his calf muscle in making a save, and for the rest of the half, he played with a noticeable limp which hindered his movement and clearances.
The lead was extended on 24 minutes when Armstrong made a great fingertip save at full stretch but Luke Sephton reacted quicker to turn the rebound in.
Garstang had their fair share of chances and both Alan Coar and Alex Hay could have scored on another day with two clear chances from close range.
However, the visitors were looking dangerous with every attack and their pace was causing the home side's defence issues as they continued to get behind the defensive line at will.
Maddocks scored from a corner on 28 minutes and then to make matters worse, Joe Melling stopped a goalbound effort with his hand and was sent off by the referee.
The resulting penalty was smashed home as the home side trailed 4-0 at half-time and had 10 men.
Armstrong was unable to continue so Cookney was forced to ask Ric Coar to play the whole second half in goal.
Pilkington exploited the goalkeeping and 10-man situation remarkably well and every effort seemed to go in.
Matty Taylor scored just before the hour, while Philip Marsh netted the sixth three minutes later.
Callum Laird made it 7-0 with 14 minutes left before Marcus Giglio completed the scoring a minute later.
Garstang have confirmed the date for their PlayerMatch.com Cup tie with FC Oswestry Town.
It will be replayed at the Riverside this Saturday with a 3pm kick-off.
Last weekend's original tie was abandoned after Oswestry's Callum Leigh sustained a broken leg.
Spectators who paid for the original game will have free admission.

| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
Mumbai, Aug. 9 (ANI): Reserve Bank of India Governor Raghuram Rajan, whose tenure ends next month, will present his last bi-monthly monetary policy review at the RBI headquarters here on Tuesday. With Parliament passing the GST Bill, analysts are expecting the RBI to hold the key interest rates as retail inflation continues to be above the comfort zone. However, some analysts feel that the RBI should slash the rates. (ANI)

Hi, folks!
It's 51F with almost no wind. We got almost 1/4 inch of rain yesterday. There's more coming in. It's just grey at the moment.
Yesterday I was up at the usual time and it was quite sunny in between the broken clouds. As the day went on it git greyer and windier. I started the day with setting up newsletters for the next couple of weeks. It's likely to get crazy, so I wanted to get ahead, so's not to skimp y'all in case some of the schedule comes unstuck!
I'm also finalizing plans for some special workshops. I went to do this last week and then got sick…. But, I'm up and running again, so the Candles Day is on for this Saturday 12/5! We'll be making
all kinds of candles, from molds to dip to containers, making herb-infused wax and using some of it, recycling wax, maybe even sand candles! If you bring a pound of used or broken candles, or any wax or crayons, you can take home one of the small container votives for free! …and yes, I have an accurate scale. 🙂 Any materials that you bring will get you some kind of discount on a class or candles. That would include containers (cup or less) , small mason jars (cup or less) with lids, straight-sided glass jars, used glass (no plastic) votive holders, even small wineglasses.
The other workshop is on 12/19 at 3pm. We'll be making and sewing soft lollipop ornaments. They're $1 each for all materials and tools and the dollar fee includes a 1 page pattern/instructions. If you just want to learn how to make them, or bring your own materials, no fee!
…and then on 12/26 we'll be making birdseed feeders for our feathered friends.
Phew! So I got the announcements up and right then we needed to head out to the bank to sort out our accounts. That took a couple of hours, since we needed to freeze one, open another, etc., etc.
When we got home Tempus got the strawberry pots that were being delivered and worked in the kitchen until time to head out. He was going to stop at a friend's to do some chores, see Sash in Newport to give him a turkey sandwich since he couldn't make it down for Thanksgiving, do some shopping and then the paper run.
I spent the evening doing business paperwork and getting more and more frustrated trying to find forms online that folks have said are easy to find.
Today I have my follow-up appointment on the surgery and we have a lot of paperwork to wade through.
Today 's featured products are from Cafe Press. We're running out of time to get things for the holidays! They usually take 5-7 business days, but this is a busy time of year, plus shipping time can be longer than usual, so if you want something it might be a good idea to head over there soonest. http://www.cafepress.com/ancientlight
I have over 30 designs up (although some similar themes are combined into one, e.g. pentacles). Cafe Press prints on everything from t-shirts in sizes 6x to newborn, long, short and no-sleeve, hoodies, pj's, undies, jewelry, hats to pillows to blankets, shot glasses to coffee mugs to beer steins & hip flasks, computer, ipad & phone gear, cards, journals and calendars. They even print shower curtains! Not every design of mine suits every product, so if you see a design and can't find a product type that you need, e-mail me and request it.
Also, we do custom designs. Mostly this would entail taking your photo (and I can start from scanning one!!!!) adding captions, sayings or "froufies" (such as a holiday or other border) and placing it on a specific product so that you can order it. Depending on the length of time that it takes me to get the product set up for you, it would cost between $10 and $80 for custom sets. I'll give you an example… If you send me an electronic copy of a picture of your kids and request "We love you, G'ma!" for a caption on a coffee-mug, a pillow and a blanket, the art-work and set-up would take me about 40 minutes, or $10 (payable in advance, yes, you can use Paypal or plastic…) At that point you could go to our Cafe Press site to the "Custom" section and place your order through them for however many or few that you want. When you notify me that you've gotten the pieces that you want, I take the design back down, to protect your privacy, putting it in "hidden" status, so that if you want more pieces I don't have to charge you again for custom work, simply re-activate the design. If I'm starting from custom art-work (yes, I do that) and you want a lot of different sizes and shapes of products, I can spend 6 or 8 hours ($80) getting that ready for you. E-mail me to discuss this at firstname.lastname@example.com .
These are real spools wound with embroidery floss (glued in place) turned into a wreath with a center ornament that is sewing themed. Some have pincushions or quilts. These are a little heavier than standard, but make good go-through-the-mail ornaments.
Today's Plant is the Buttercup that flourishes in my area in two types, Ranunculus bulbosus (sometimes called. St Anthony's Turnip) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranunculus_bulbosus and ,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranunculus_repens (called creeping buttercup or crowfoot) which is the variety in my garden. These are non-native plants and invasive, but not usually worried about too much, since they usually grow in grasslands and very poor soil, not suited for agriculture. Although the fresh plant is poisonous, the sap being used as a blistering agent for gout and rheumatism, the dried plant is safe for consumption. Tinctures of this plant have been used on shingles and infusions for "soremouth". – Masculine, Mercury(Uranus), Fire – These are used in spells for tenacity & stubbornness, both to create and cure, and as a plant of fertility, possibly being the plant that the Flora gave Juno to use to get pregnant with Mars. Carry in sachets (dried flowers only) for fertility or the dried leaves for tenacity. This is also used for harmony and for Sight (and called Frog's Foot) Use buttercup flower petals in magickal potpourris for spells regarding: divination, energy, innocence, prosperity, youth. Use buttercup in solar spells involving energy and prosperity.
…and, of course today is Hari-Kuyo. I'll be honoring my needles today. Hari Kugo, the feast of Broken Needles, is celebrated today in Japan. Also called Daitosai, or Good-Luck Market it is celebrated from Nov 30 – Dec 11, honouring women's crafts and tools. At Hikawa Shrine, Omiya, Saitama Prefecture, a large market is held selling good luck charms and many products. Source: The Phoenix and Arabeth 1992 Calendar I don't remember where I read it, but there's supposed to be a shrine where women take needles that have snapped and poke them into a ball of butter to "soothe their hurts". I like that idea! I have this as the date, but going to look online, February 8 is usually listed. Hmmm…. anyway here's a nice link: http://stitchtress.com/2010/02/08/hari-kuyo/ …and I love that picture!
The shop is closed on Tuesday/Wednesday. Winter hours are 11am-5pm, Thursday through Monday. Please note that the shop will be closed on 12/25 for Christmas and 1/1 for New Years. We will be open on Wednesday 12/23 and Thursday, 12/24 for last-minute shoppers. Need something off hours? Give us a call at 541-563-7154 or Facebook or email at email@example.com If we're supposed to be closed, but it looks like we're there, try the door. If it's open, the shop's open! In case of bad weather, check here at the blog for updates, on our Facebook as Ancient Light, or call the shop.

Ruis Elder Nov 25 – Dec 22 – Ruis – (RWEESH), elder – Celtic tree month of Ruis (Elder) commences (Nov 25 – Dec 22) – Like other Iron Age Europeans, the Celts were a polytheistic people prior to their conversion to (Celtic) Christianity. The Celts divided the year into 13 lunar cycles (months or moons). These were linked to specific sacred trees which gave each moon its name. Today commences the Celtic tree month of Elder.
Elder or Elderberry (Sambucus) is a genus of fast-growing shrubs or small trees in the family Caprifoliaceae. They bear bunches of small white or cream coloured flowers in the Spring, that are followed by bunches of small red, bluish or black berries. The berries are a very valuable food resource for many birds.
Common North American species include American Elder, Sambucus canadensis, in the east, and Blueberry Elder, Sambucus glauca, in the west; both have blue-black berries.
The common European species is the Common or Black Elder, Sambucus nigra, with black berries.
The common elder (Sambucus nigra L.) is a shrub growing to 10 m (33 feet) in damp clearings, along the edge of woods, and especially near habitations. Elders are grown for their blackish berries, which are used for preserves and wine. The leaf scars have the shape of a crescent moon. Elder branches have a broad spongy pith in their centers, much like the marrow of long bones, and an elder branch stripped of its bark is very bone-like. The red elder (S. racemosa L.) is a similar plant at higher elevations; it grows to 5 m (15 feet). Red elder extends its native range to northern North America, and it is cultivated along with other native species, but common elders are seldom seen in cultivation. Elders are in the Honeysuckle family (Caprifoliaceae).

Yule Time/Christmas Scent simmering potpourri 3 sticks cinnamon
3 bay leaves
1/4 cup whole cloves
1/2 lemon, sliced
1/2 orange, sliced
1 quart water
Combine ingredients and simmer in a teakettle or saucepan throughout the holidays! Just be careful to keep the heat turned low and the water topped up, else the house will smell like burned spices. Not a fun Yule scent!
You can also use this blend in a candle heated oil diffuser once it's simmered for a bit.
Other spices can be used, such as allspice, star anise, nutmeg, ginger…. Use your imagination!
This is a good way to use up baking spices that are getting stale, or that have picked up codling moths during the summer.
Yule Oil – Put in soap or anoint candles
4 drops pine
3 drops cedarwood
3 drops cinnamon
2 drops frankincense
2 drops juniper
Add a pinch of dried pine needles from your tree with garnet, green tourmaline, and clear quartz crystals. A great Yule tree smell with the hint of log fires and spicy pomanders!

We design systems that are built for long-term environmental and ecological stability. Add to these the economic requirements for energy efficiency, ease-of-operation, efficient on-going maintenance, risk management, and anticipated replacement of worn or broken components.
Engineering:We have the technical knowledge and practical experience to bring the system design into reality. The engineering is the selection and matching of all of the component parts and pieces to fit and operate in the available space. We engineer or re-engineer your existing aquarium system for proper water flow through all pumps, pipes, tanks and filters as well as for preparation of equipment maintenance and replacement.
Installation: We pay attention to both the details of operation and the details of appearance by connecting all components in a very neat and orderly manner. Usually the installations occur in phases to establish the proper biological conditioning of the filters and the display tank. We will maintain a neat and clean work site throughout the entire process and we will leave the project with a professional appearance each time we leave.
Troubleshooting: With a keen eye and a tremendous amount of patience we can identify and implement corrective action for a myriad of issues that surface over time.
Supplies: We deliver a full line of aquarium equipment and supplies directly to our customers. We review the full spectrum of state-of-the-art products and technologies and bring forward the options to meet the needs of our clients. Our suppliers are recognized for their experience and quality products. Our design and engineering skills ensure that all new equipment works well together and is easy to maintain.
Stocking: We provide quarantined fish, invertebrates and corals to our customers as we strive to deliver healthy and parasite free livestock to each system we maintain. After hand selecting each individual, we quarantine them for a 6-8 week period before introducing them into their new homes. This process is more labor intensive but it delivers healthy, feeding, and acclimated livestock which minimizes losses for our clients.
Maintenance: Our team of specialists is well trained and professional in how they manage aquaria. We work when it's convenient for our customers and are very efficient and clean in our execution.
Consulting, training and troubleshooting: Whether you already have an aquarium or you are planning a new startup, we can provide support to guide you through understanding the issues, options and recommended management of your aquarium. Water quality analysis and interpretation provides both an instantaneous and long-term window into the health of your system. Our keen observation and extensive experience with hundreds of systems helps us to identify and implement corrective action for a myriad of issues that surface over time. We can help you fine-tune the management of nutrition, overgrowth, environmental control and poor health. We can arm you with a remediation and renovation plan for your own use or if you chose we can execute it for you. Call us to schedule a system evaluation.
Relocation: Yes, we move tanks!
Emergency Response: We are here to respond to your repair and emergency needs on a 24-hour basis. We stock common replacement equipment and can provide temporary life-support until specific replacement parts can be installed. Should you experience a catastrophic event, we can transport your tank mates to our facility and manage the cleanup and claims operation.
Hospitalization: We can provide medical evaluation and treatment in your location or if need be we can transport your ill "patients" to our facility. When in doubt and for best results call us early, not late.

These New Coffee Drinks Will Make You Think of Summer Days in Italy
Nespresso presents two new exciting ways of enjoying your favorite coffee drink. The Italian-inspired iced coffee recipes Ispirazione Salentina and Ispirazione Shakerato were crafted to inspire you to live out the past season's energy by keeping you on your toes. They can even be used as takeoff points to exploring other exciting coffee recipes.
Ispirazione Salentina for Quenching Your Thirst
Don't let the ever-changing weather dampen your spirits. Counter the blues with a tall glass of Ispirazione Salentina, a smooth, bold, and balanced blend. A classic recipe from coastal Salento in Puglia, Italy, this drink offers a uniquely round texture that comes alive with roasted, nutty notes.
To prepare, drop two ice cubes into your glass, pour in 30 mL of almond milk (or cow's milk), then add 5 mL of sugarcane syrup and 40 mL of Nespresso Salentina.
Ispirazione Shakerato for Enjoying That Extra Kick
Ispirazione Shakerato is an intense, spicy brew that's heightened by the dark aroma of cocoa. Full-bodied and smooth, the popular Italian iced coffee is best prepared shaken, not stirred.
To make, simply add one Nespresso sugar stick and 40 mL of Nespresso Shakerato in a shaker, then drop in three ice cubes. Place the lid, shake, then voila! A powerful blend where the cocoa and spicy flavors come together. Serve immediately and enjoy it ice-cold.
Nespresso is also launching the limited edition accessories Nomad bottle, which features double-wall insulation for sipping your iced coffee wherever you go, and VIEW Shaker Mini Kit, which is composed of two VIEW glasses (tempered glasses shaped carefully to give your fingers a solid grip), two silicone lids to shake your drink with the VIEW glasses, and an ice cube tray for easily and consistently preparing iced coffee recipes at home and discovering more ways to enjoy your coffee.
The two iced coffees and the accessories are the first limited edition products Nespresso is launching in the Philippines. The products are available at the Nespresso Boutique, located at R1 Power Plant Mall in Rockwell Center, Makati, and on www.nespresso.ph. For more information, visit www.nespresso.ph or call 477-7870.

As a first class productions company, RGF Productions strives to demonstrate professionalism.
We hold our staff, artists, and management to the highest standard of quality and mutual respect. We emphasize honesty in all our business practices.
As such, we would like to offer our sincerest apologies. It has come to our attention that a former administrative assistant of ours has violated our policy of honesty and respect. Shawna "Sha" Morgan, performing in a capacity that was in direct violation of both law and best business practices, misrepresented her position to our trusted business relationships.
In an attempt to properly protect our business partners and make amends, we would like to make the following information available:
Shawna Morgan is not a licensed booking agent. Here at RGF Productions she was to perform strictly in an administrative capacity as an assistant to the booking team, however she falsely represented herself as the booking agent and charged outside fees for her services. As a result, she received two fees, one directly from RGF, as well as a fee directly from the clients; an activity known as "double dipping".
Ms. Morgan repeatedly undermined the chain of command by withholding information to the decision makers within the firm. Fraudulently misrepresenting herself as upper management, Ms. Morgan was able to acquire additional business for personal gain.
Sha's conduct has had a detrimental effect on RGF Production's reputation throughout the music industry, which we continue to work diligently to repair. Despite being terminated quietly and professionally, she has on numerous occasions and to numerous business associates, defamed RGF Productions by making hateful and ill willed comments towards RGF Productions and its individual members of management. To date Ms. Morgan, has refused to relinquish possession of RGF Production property including control of the RGFproductions.com Domain and all email access.
We at RGF Productions will continue to work moving forward to repair our relationships in the industry while producing great music and fantastic music experiences. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to us directly.

25. Bright Eyes – "Road to Joy"
Chaotic brilliance is perhaps the best way to describe Bright Eyes' 2005 masterpiece "Road to Joy". It's one of the few times that the music accompanying Conor Oberst is as emotionally explicit and profound as his lyrics. Simplistic to start, the music gets more complex (trumpets and drums appear) and louder as Conor's words become less suggestion and more of a downright blatant attack on what are his perceived depressing realities existent in America. By the time his travels conclude and he reaches the end of this road, all hell has broken loose, both for our storyteller and his soundtrack. –Alex Young
24. Radiohead – "Idioteque"
I'm convinced that when Radiohead decided to fuse IDM with Arena Rock a new universe was formed. A universe where people dance to apocalyptic electro-bangers that sample archaic analog synthesizers from compositions like Paul Lansky's "Mild und Leise". A universe where bands continually go against the grain, yet still see critical and financial success. A universe where . . . Oh crap . . . –Drew Litowitz
23. Bon Iver - "Skinny Love"
Justin Vernon has a way with… well, everything. Through stinging minor chords, soulful yelps, and intense speculation, "Skinny Love" sees the man attempting to reason through just what went wrong. When he screams, "I told you to be patient/ I told you to be kind," it's hard to tell if he's kicking himself or the source of his heartbreak. Either way, the outcome pleasingly bruises. –Drew Litowitz
22. Madonna – "Music"
It's fitting that this disco-meets-the-future tune was released in 2000. Madonna tapped Parisian production whiz Mirwais to craft stylish beats and update her sound for the '00s. The result is one of Madge's most rollicking songs of any decade. –Gillian Rosheuvel
21. Kanye West – "Stronger"
Though Kanye may be the decade's biggest asshole, he is also behind some of the decade's greatest songs. "Stronger", from 2007's Graduation, used samples from Daft Punk's "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" to carry the two to infamy. The track has been described by Kanye as an "emancipation"; it marks his move from hip-hop to electronic music, and lyrically allows him to repair, or at least repent for, past mistakes. "Damn, they don't make 'em like this anymore" — that's true, there's no one else like Kanye West. – Shayna Hodkin
20. Phoenix – "1901"
In the tradition of commercials skyrocketing songs to the forefront, Phoenix's "1901" is now thriving due to its use in a Cadillac commercial. The song, however, has enough of its own merit to stand strong divorced from the luxury vehicle marque. The French band's buoyant single from Wolfgang Amadeus is the epitome of carefree, radio friendly pop. The melodic quality is superb, and the use of tom drums in a snapping sequence literally elicits foot tapping. –Becca James
19. Arcade Fire – "Wake Up"
The secondary title for Arcade Fire's "Wake Up" could read: "(Eulogy for Youth)". An anthem for the nostalgic adult, the song sulks as it comes to terms with maturation. "Children/Wake up/ Hold your mistake up," Butler orders atop climactic electrifying strums and lush strings. Arcade Fire hit the nail on the head as they attempt to debunk the myth that one must sacrifice his or her youthful fascinations in order to grow up. Not to mention the song's pump-up value. There's a reason why David Bowie, Bono, and the New York Rangers all took an immediate liking to a song this exhilarating. –Drew Litowitz
18. The Killers – "All These Things That I've Done"
OK, admit it. Who hasn't sung along to "I got soul but I'm not a soldier". Without really knowing what it's about. It might be about the second coming or just a plea to come home from the war but let's not break into discussion groups shall we. "All These Things" is plainly a great rock and roll anthem with a full-on armoury and a heat-seeking chorus. –Tony Hardy
17. The Knife – "Heartbeats"
In the same vein as ABBA and Ace of Base, The Knife has distributed Swedish pop to the masses. However, the duo delivers a more artful and subtle sound, with songs such as "Heartbeats". The synth reprise and in-depth lyrics enable the listener to reflect, while lost in the mesmerizing sound. –Becca James
16. M.I.A. – "Paper Planes"
A song which rode out its underground birth to gain elite cultural status, "Paper Planes" was all kinds of awesome. Few songs are able to transcend such humble beginnings, but Diplo's lo-fi production and M.I.A.'s satirical verses rode out the storm. The song innovates in a number of ways, adding controversial gunshots, a children's choir and samples The Clash's "Straight to Hell". Eventually finding success through cinema, the song went on to feature in "Swagga Like Us", bringing together four of the best rappers alive — just one of its incredible achievements. –Will Hines
15. Daft Punk – "One More Time"
"One More Time" is the ultimate call for celebration. Daft Punk hits all the right notes on this track from 2001's Discovery, it's the perfect anthem to get everyone up and feeling alive. –Charles Poladian
14. The Strokes – "Last Nite"
It wasn't exactly the Fadd9 chord that cracked the shell of Beatlemania, but the opening notes to "Last Nite" hit similar vibes. Good feelings just ooze from this track, whether it be the throaty, muffled vocals of Julian Casablancas or the minimalistic yet vital solo from Albert Hammond, Jr. And at the end of the day, who can't help but champion five lanky kids with a fetish for denim? It sure as hell saved modern youth from baggy pants and XXL Limp Bizkit shirts. –Michael Roffman
13. Jay-Z – "99 Problems"
There's a lot going right for Jay-Z's "99 Problems". It was Rick Rubins first crack at producing a hip-hop track in some time and it samples the likes of Mountain and Billy Squier while it pulls a chorus from an old Ice-T song. While that's enough for any track, the magic lies in the stripped down, basic-as-can-be guitar part and Jay's lyrical delivery. Like its corresponding black and white video, his flow is gritty and dark, attacking everyone from the cops to record labels, while at the same time being smart and humorous and ever so witty, representing the peak of HOV's dominance. The song stands as one of Jay-Z's strongest musical moments and is a definitive moment in the revitalization of a career that almost went the way of the dinosaurs. And we haven't gotten a single problem with that. –Chris Coplan
12. MGMT – "Kids"
In MGMT's ambitious full-length debut, Oracular Spectacular, the band managed to do the '80s better than the '80s did, with the electronic, dance style single "Kids." The song offers the best of time worn synth, with timeless lyrics, such as the opening lines "you were a child/Crawlin' on your knees toward it/Makin' mama so proud/but your voice was too loud." It's lyrical morsels like that, paired with a fetching hook that cater to the band's synthpop aesthetic, resulting in an addictive single. –Becca James
11. Eminem – "Lose Yourself"
The cinema-ready piano intro gives you an idea of how epic this song is going to be. Yet you're still not ready for the force unleashed when Mr. Mathers begins rhyming over a head-nodding guitar riff. Recorded for the soundtrack to Eminem's quasi-biopic 8 Mile, "Lose Yourself" might be the best distillation of the rapper's songwriting gifts and infectious, ramshackle flow. –Gillian Rosheuvel
10. The National – "Mr. November"
Whether the song references Reggie Jackson, Derek Jeter, being the President of the United States, or all of the above, the emotions on The National's glorious Alligator album-closer are so universal, that the specific allusion is almost irrelevant. When Berninger repeats the phrase "I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders," for some reason, we all know exactly what he means. As he unleashes his desperate, feigned reassurance, "I won't fuck us over, I'm Mr. November!" a feeling of intense hopelessness comes with it. "Mr. Novemeber" is a classic example of how with each of their songs, the National builds a sense of tranquility, caves in on itself, but somehow manages to make it out alive. –Drew Litowitz
9. LCD Soundsystem – "Someone Great"
Off of 2007's Sound of Silver, "Someone Great" is an understated gem. The minimalist intro shows a sense of restraint that wells up into a surging rush of lush music and the lyrics show off James Murphy's clever understanding of loss, desire, and yearning of what could have been. –Charles Poladian
8. Radiohead – "How to Disappear Completely"
"How to Disappear Completely" is a song that wholly speaks for itself. It is an exercise in perfection of songcraft. Based on advice Yorke received from personal hero and REM frontman Michael Stipe on coping with the intense stresses of touring, the song confronts listeners with a true sense of helplessness. Rightfully so, both sonically and lyrically, it oozes with desperation. Yorke begins by strumming an acoustic guitar, talking everything over logically. But slowly, as Yorke continues to reason with himself, his anxious words drown in a sea of overbearing, dissonant strings. Yorke cries, "I'm not here, this isn't happening" as the words and strings become nearly indistinguishable; poetry engulfed in chaos. We feel like we lose Yorke in the track, but moreover we feel for him as he nearly loses himself. Radiohead have always been good at encapsulating the inexpressible aspects of human existence, but never have they been more spot on. –Drew Litowitz
7. The Postal Service – "Such Great Heights"
The first great love song of the digital age. "Such Great Heights" has plenty of pop charm yet shines bright with emotional honesty. Jimmy Tamborello's endearing electronic melodies coupled with Ben Gibbard's charming indie pop sentimentality grabbed the iGeneration by the earbuds and will continue to tug on the heartstrings of every listener. Unlike many unabashedly romantic tracks, "Such Great Heights" isn't confined to a future of easy listening; its dance rhythm expands the song's scope to an exciting and adventurous pace that's narrated not just film and television, but the lives of countless 21st century denizens. –Cap Blackard
6. U2 – "Beautiful Day"
Let's face it, U2 is universal. It's hard a statement to swallow, but for now just try and hide your hipster sensibilities — pretty please. While Bono's become somewhat of a punchline to every rock 'n' roll joke this decade, people forget how prolific the guy really is. He knows his shit. What's more, he knows your shit, too. That's why he's able to rope in about 80k people at the drop of his hat and have them leaving with smiles and emotions that only seemed to exist in a Hallmark card. "Beautiful Day" pretty much summarizes that moment. It's lofty, sure, but it's so catchy, it's so touchy feely, and it's so sweeping that even nine years later, we're still humming it and getting all rowled up when it comes on — even if you're scoffing or rolling your eyes to keep up that credibility of yours. Don't believe me? Hit up a show next summer. Once they reach this hit (which happened to take home three Grammy awards, mind you), even athiests will admit it's a very religious-like experience. At least this writer did. –Michael Roffman
5. Gnarls Barkley – "Crazy"
One of the greatest accomplishments thus far in the music of the 21st century is the return to the roots of funk and soul. Fusing classic sounds with outstanding contemporary production, Danger Mouse and Cee-Lo created a beautiful monster. "Crazy" grooves and haunts — eerie spaghetti western strings mesh with funky bass lines and Cee-Lo's spooky soul singing. Danger Mouse's expert mixing isn't just catchy sounds, it's also layered with subtleties. While listening to this track outdoors with headphones on, you may look to the sky thinking you've heard a low-flying aircraft, but there's nothing there- making you look and feel crazy. –Cap Blackard
4. Yeah Yeah Yeahs – "Maps"
It's practically impossible to have gone seven years without hearing one of alternative's greatest love songs, My Angus Please Stay, or "Maps" as it's known to the rest of the world. The song was written by Karen O about her relationship with the lead singer of Liars, Angus Andrew. The rapid picking of a high E leading into Karen's lament ("They don't love you like I love you") lands the Yeah Yeah Yeahs at number four on this list. –Andy Keil
3. Andre 3000/Outkast – "Hey Ya"
Way back in the autumn of 2003, probably October, I remember drinking a beer with some friends at this complete shithole bar in Tallahassee, FL, where we were checking out some local bands. Usually, the owner would try and pathetically get girls to strip on the bars by putting on some Bon Jovi or Warrant, but this one night, he decided to play some Top 40 nonsense. After three songs in, the opening roll call of Andre 3000's "Hey Ya" kicked in and the beat and strum took it all away. Immediately, everyone — both bros and hipsters alike — danced together. A week later, the same thing happened in a club (don't ask why I'm at these places), only this time, you really saw how this song spanned from one demographic to another. It was then my friend turned to me and said, "This song is the decade's "Teen Spirit", man." It probably sounded ignorant and ridiculous at the time (who talked about Nirvana then, anyhow?), but here we are in 2009, and that statement seems pretty valid. Why? Three reasons: Everyone loved it, radio stations continue to exhaust it, and we all grimace when anyone ever attempts to cover it. The only thing left now is for Tori Amos to take a stab at it. But, there's always time for that. –Michael Roffman
2. Kanye West – "Jesus Walks"
If you ever wonder as to why we still have faith in Kanye West despite all the evidence to the contrary, this is it. Ironically the song that West himself was told would never get radio time, thanks to its religious subject matter, is one of his biggest hits. And it's not hard to see why this beat out everything from "Through The Wire" to almost anything on 808s and Heartbreak. From its regimented drum beat and angelic children's choir to the auto-tuned to oblivion gospel cries, the song is both undeniably danceable and technically proficient. But more than anything, it's one of West's most sincere pleas as he attempts to navigate in and reign over an entire industry. It's fresh and honest and instills within us the massive concept that music can both be personal and push boundaries without giving up any of its sheer kinetic energy and/or catchiness. –Chris Coplan
1. The White Stripes – "Seven Nation Army"
By the time 2003 rolled around, Jack White and his big sister Meg were households names in the indie community. Having released the masterful White Blood Cells two years earlier, the duo had fully demonstrated its talents and realized its greatness. But on April 1, 2003, something remarkable occurred — Jack and Meg unveiled an album and more specifically a song that would capture the minds and hearts of hipsters and ring tone buyers alike.
You know a song is great when, even after the 1,000 or so spins you give it over the years, it still sends shivers down your spine, causes you to bob your head as if you've just been infected with rabies, or a combination of the two. As is the case with "Smells Like Teen Spirit", "London Calling", and "Born to Run", The White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army" causes such a sensation. This reality is a combination of factors: the "duh du du du duh duhhhh duhhhh" hook, a resulting enigmatic intensity, lyrics of the sing-a-long variety, and one hell of a climax, stemming from one of Mr. White's trademark's guitar solos. The song's lone flaw? It ends.
Not surprising, Elephant's lead track and first single would not only prove to be The White Stripes' best song to date but also its biggest, charting in at #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks and #12 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks (the album would peak at #6). As a result, "Seven Nation Army" would transcend The White Stripes from indie's best kept secret to full-fledged rock superstars and exemplified that even in today's watered down mainstream music culture, quality can still win and indie and mainstream can co-exist, if done correctly.
In the months and years that followed, The White Stripes would go on to be one of music's most popular bands while White emerged as this generation's surest thing to a Rock 'n' Roll Hall-of-Famer. As for "Seven Nation Army", it remains as vibrant and as popular today as it did on April 1, 2003, resonating on a daily basis from record players and football stadiums alike. And like any rock 'n' roll anthem, White's should continue to be equally vibrant and as popular for an eternity to come. –Alex Young

But information about past outcomes, whether occasional huge gains or frequent failures, gives guidance to the parties and allows an investment to go forward.

I remember having that same level of passion for learning that my daughter has. I'm not even sure how the importance of education was shaped for me, because honestly, I don't think I ever received the 'education is the key' parental speech, but rather, I was raised by a great-grandmother who didn't mess around. She wasn't raising a street girl, she was raising an independent woman, and if you weren't in the streets, the only other place to be was in school. In school I was, and I loved being there. I was good at it. I don't think there was a time in elementary that I wasn't on the honor roll, and I later graduated from high school with honors. I never viewed school as a forced requirement (until a few years in college). I knew that from elementary you went to jr. high, and from there you went to high school, and in my mind, from high school you went to college. It was just the next step on the academic ladder. I am so grateful to have had that kind of interest and the opportunity to do so. By doing so, with a child, I have now indirectly instilled the value of education into my child. She's barely getting her feet wet in grade school and is already thinking about and seeing the beauty of what college holds because it's just what she's become accustomed to. I will work feverishly to make sure that never changes.
I have to say that I am not pleased at the direction that education is now headed. The opportunity to higher education has been placed in jeopardy for so many with all of these budget issues. It makes me sad to know that some hard working and deserving young people will be robbed of this opportunity or have to delay it due to financial reasons. I am very proud of everyone who is currently busting their asses to find back doors and hidden purses to get as many into school as possible. And although a degree is awesome to have earned, its not the only way to grow within academia. If you can read, and if you have the courage to ask questions, you can self teach! If you've ever met a challenge and kicked its ass, you already have the tools!

Vulture Outfit Buys Distressed Junior Real Estate Liens, Then Uses 'Shakedown-Like' Move To Squeeze Profit From Proposed Short Sales
Bloomberg reports:
- Tom Axon's mortgage-collection firm gets about 25 calls a day from delinquent homeowners' brokers seeking approval to sell their houses for a loss and avoid foreclosure. We'll help, his staff tells them, as long as we get paid enough.
Axon, working with co-investors, buys distressed U.S. home- equity loans and other junior real estate liens, often for pennies on the dollar. Investors like Axon have to be dealt with whenever a home is sold in a short sale, a transaction in which the lenders agree to accept less than what's owed on the property.
"The short-sale brokers know us -- they know we're not cupcakes," Axon, 60, chairman of Jersey City, New Jersey-based mortgage-servicer Franklin Credit Management Corp., said in an interview. "At the end of the day, my friend, you signed a contract. You owe money and we're willing to reach an accommodation that is commensurate with your ability to pay."
Tough bargaining by second-lien holders is delaying deals and killing some short sales, even as banks embrace the practice to avoid costly foreclosures and help clear the market of homes that are worth less than the loans on them, said Vicki Been, a New York University law professor who has studied mortgages.
"It's an opportunity for the second-lien holder to charge a price for their cooperation, because it's needed for a short sale," Been, a director at NYU's Furman Center for Real Estate & Urban Policy, said in a telephone interview. "If they're too greedy, it may squelch the whole deal."

Ranking at the top of local and national search is not for the big companies with unlimited budgets any longer
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) October 04, 2012
This is proving to be one of the greatest opportunities for Atlanta business owners to learn and apply these insider secrets. While many businesses struggle to achieve a top Google ranking, business owners who utilize the Local Marketing Oxygen system are dominating the search engines locally and nationally with over 3000 page one rankings and several hundred raked number #1 on Google.
How does Local Marketing Oxygen accomplish this while others are scrambling with all of Google algorithm changes? Easy, SEO and Local Marketing Search is purely math. When businesses learn how to do a complete analysis of the on-page and off-page SEO strategies of those that are ranking where they want to be, then they can learn the clues of success that businesses need to be successful.
According to David Asarnow a business coach and CEO of Local Marketing Oxygen, Atlanta based Local Marketing and Search Experts, "Ranking at the top of local and national search is not for the big companies with unlimited budgets any longer, companies who use sound and proven "white-hat" legal methods just as Google want businesses to can actually rank at the top of local and national search, and they can do so fairly quickly!" Asarnow continues, "Ranking at the top of Google is not the only factor in determining business success. The ability to attract these searches into potential leads and then into paying clients is the goal! However the challenge with most on-line marketing is that it is just a billboard that touts the doctor, dentist, chiropractors, painter or business owners wares, without providing the viewer a compelling reason to start a relationship with the business owner."
So what should a business owner do to be successful? According to Asarnow, "The business owner must hook and engage with their potential client immediately so that they choose to become a lead for their business. Because we realize that most business owners want to do the right thing in marketing their business, they just do not know how to, we decided to launch Local Marketing Oxygen, as live interactive business boot camp in Atlanta, Georgia on October 13, 2012."
Local Marketing Oxygen is a hand on full-day local search, search engine optimization (SEO), and marketing automation and conversion training for SMBs (Small and Medium Sized Businesses). Although the workshop is being held in Atlanta, they have people flying in from all areas of the country to attend this exclusive event.
According to Asarnow, "Less than 20 seats remain! We will sell out, so those that are interested should take action right away. Those that choose to attend will experience a 200% Marketing Return on Investment MROI, compared to doing the dinosaur marketing that most businesses use."
"October 12, 2012 is the date for Local Marketing Oxygen at the Cobb galleria convention center"
Local Marketing Oxygen will be offering a once in a lifetime opportunity for Atlanta business owners and it is currently scheduled for this one weekend only.
Local Marketing Oxygen in Atlanta was founded by David Asarnow. David Asarnow is a sought after keynote speaker, business coach and local marketing expert.
David and his company Business Oxygen is 100% focused on producing results for their students and clients. David grew a new division of a manufacturing business to $45 million dollars in sales over a five-year period and has helped create millions of dollars in profits for his many business and local marketing clients and thousands of business training students over the past five years.
In 2010 Entrepreneur Magazine ranked a company David Asarnow founded in the Top 15 HOT NEW businesses in their industry. David has appeared in Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, CBS News, The Miami Herald and USA Today.
When businesses attend Local Marketing Oxygen, their real-world positive proven marketing methods will penetrate every facet of the company's performance specifically creating accelerate business growth and positive results in a very short period of time.

text: Purpose and VisionNewsCurrently selectedEventsAwardsContact Us Home|About Presbyterian|News|News Article Page Image Page Content Rio Rancho's First Hospital Receives $10 Million GiftMay 3, 2011 Presbyterian Healthcare Services has received a $10 million gift from Jack and Donna Rust to help build Rio Rancho's first full-service hospital opening October 24, 2011. In recognition of the Rusts' gift, Rio Rancho's new medical center will be named the Presbyterian Rust Medical Center. "This gift speaks volumes about the Rusts' commitment to New Mexico, and to their connection to Presbyterian," said Jim Hinton, president and CEO of Presbyterian Healthcare Services. "Jack and Donna Rust understand the essential need to provide hospital services to our communities west of the river, and we are very humbled by their generosity and leadership to help us accomplish our purpose of improving the health of the communities we serve." The gift was made to the communities of Rio Rancho and Sandoval County, as well as Albuquerque, through a campaign for the future medical center, a $25 million fundraising effort now being conducted by the Presbyterian Healthcare Foundation (PHF). The campaign is being co-chaired by Julia Bowdich, a past PHF board chair, and Jim Haynes, current PHF board chair. According to Bowdich and Haynes, the campaign has raised more than $15.4 million, which includes the $10 million gift from the Rusts and $5.4 million in gifts and pledges from the Presbyterian family, encompassing community board members, employees, physicians and volunteers. The remaining $9.6 million will be sought from other businesses, families and charitable foundations over the next 12 months. The cost of building and equipping the future hospital is $165 million. Presbyterian invested $140 million through long-term debt, capital reserves, and projected operating surpluses. The remaining $25 million needed to complete the medical center must be raised from the community through the Foundation's fundraising effort. This is the Presbyterian's largest investment in its 102-year history. "Donna and I are pleased to provide this gift," said Mr. Rust. "We are proud to give back to the community through Presbyterian and believe that investing in this medical center represents a commitment to improving health care for all New Mexicans." When completed in the fall of this year, the new Presbyterian Rust Medical Center in Rio Rancho will include a five-story patient tower and will provide inpatient services such as an intensive care unit, full birthing services, neonatal intensive care, surgery, general medicine, orthopedics and sports medicine. Outpatient services will include emergency care, full imaging services, diagnostic and interventional cardiology, radiology procedures and surgery.

After the application deadline, ITA processes every application and sends a confirmation letter to applicants, acknowledging the receipt of all materials or informing applicants of missing materials. ITA staff and the ITA Advisory Committee review all completed applications. Applicants are notified of their application status, and finalists are asked to participate in an interview.
For the interview, ITA will ask you and a parent or guardian to join us for a 15-minute conversation. We will ask a variety of questions about you and your interest in joining ITA. You and your parent or guardian will have the opportunity to ask us questions. Here are some tips to keep in mind for the interview:
- Think carefully about each question before answering. There are no right or wrong answers.

- If your parent does not speak English, please contact us in advance to arrange for an interpreter to be present. If this is not possible, we may ask you to translate throughout the interview.

What should I bring to my appointment?
We suggest you bring films from any previous MRI, CAT Scans, DVDs or CDs, as well as results from any tests ordered by your primary care physician or neurologist. Before your appointment, please complete each patient form thoroughly. You may have received these forms by mail or they are available online to print out. Also be sure to bring your driver's license or a state-issued ID, and all insurance cards, as well as any referral forms. If you are seeing us about an injury sustained in an automobile accident or on the job, prior authorization will be obtained by our practice from your insurance carrier.
How can I make the most of my appointment?
We suggest you bring a list of prepared questions with you to your appointment. It is not unusual to be a little nervous when seeing a new physician, and writing down your questions will help you remember everything you want to ask the doctor. After your appointment, if you have further questions, write them down for your next appointment. If you'd like an answer before that, contact the office in which you were seen and leave a message for the doctor.
What if the doctor determines that I need surgery?
Don't worry. Our practice employs a surgical scheduler who will make all the necessary arrangements with the hospital and contact your insurance carrier for the necessary authorization.
Pre-surgical instructions relating to medications and food will be given or sent to you. A member of our staff will go over these with you prior to your surgery and answer any questions you may have.
When you are discharged from the hospital the nursing staff will instruct you to schedule a follow-up appointment with your neurosurgeon (usually within two to three weeks after you leave the hospital).
If you have an emergency during regular business hours, call the office where you were seen. After hours, call our office at (877) 65-SPINE and leave a message with our 24-hour answering service.

The legendary Tony Abou-Ganim talks about the magic of the vodka Martini.
"Here's a small bit of trivia for you," says Tony Abou-Ganim. "In the '50s, a martini made with vodka in place of gin was called a kangaroo."
It's just one of the things that Abou-Ganim, one of the country's leading bar professionals and an avowed fan of the spirit, learned while researching his seminal book, Vodka Distilled.
The name kangaroo never caught on, but vodka did. It now accounts for 25 percent of the liquor sold in the United States, having surpassed gin in popularity back in 1967. "That's when the whole bar world changed," says Abou-Ganim, citing the spirit's ascent. "Once Ian Fleming got a hold of it, vodka was really on its way. It started to have a certain sexiness, because Hollywood was drinking it."
"In a vodka martini," notes Abou-Ganim, "you taste the subtle nuances of the distillate. It doesn't hide behind maturation barrels and botanicals—it's the art of the distiller that makes a quality vodka." For Abou-Ganim, who got his start tending at his aunt Helen's bar in Port Huron, Michigan, Stolichnaya® vodka holds a special place in his heart. "There were other vodkas out there," he recalls, "but then Stolichnaya® showed up, straight from Russia, the birthplace of the spirit. I remember it cost a quarter more than the other brands. It's the first vodka I remember drinking, in gimlets and Harvey Wallbangers."
He is still a fan of the Stolichnaya® portfolio to this day. Instead of mixing vodka into a cocktail, he often drinks it straight, a testament to the quality of elit™ by Stolichnaya®, which is so smooth it can stand alone. "elit™ straight from the freezer, poured over ice in a crystal glass—that's a great drink," says Abou-Ganim. "It does not need vermouth. It does not need embellishment—unless you're talking about a tin of Osetra caviar."

Basseterre, St. Kitts, December 8, 2018 – Police said Friday that one of its men fired two rounds at a masked man who earlier discharged bullets at a group of juveniles watching a football match at Warner Park last Tuesday December 4th.
"Preliminary investigations so far have revealed that several juveniles were standing in the park watching a football match when they were approached by a masked gunman who opened fire at them. The juveniles ran for safety and the shooter fled the scene. In attempting to flee the area, the assailant was pursued on foot by a police officer," the statement said.
The statement continued "when they got into an alley that leads to College Street Ghaut from Wellington Road the gunman pointed what appeared to be a weapon in the direction of the Police Officer who, in response, discharged two rounds of ammunition from his firearm. The gunman managed to escape,"
Police have issued an appeal to anyone who might have information regarding this incident to contact the Basseterre Police Station by dialling 465-2241 or by calling the crime hotline by dialling 707.
