Kills weeds, not lawns. Derived from iron, which occurs in nature. People & pets can enter treated area when spray dries.
Do not dilute. Thoroughly spray weeds. Use a coarse nozzle setting to reduce drift.
For the Pull 'N Spray Quick Connect® Sprayer:
Remove sprayer. Pull cord ALL THE WAY OUT. Insert red plug into spout (on cap) until it clicks. Flip up spout. Open nozzle at end of sprayer. Shake well before using.
The best times to treat weeds are in the Spring when they are small and growing and in the Fall to eliminate many of next year's weeds. Do not apply when the daytime temperature will exceed 85 degrees. Do not apply if rainfall is expected within 3 hours of application.
Repeat treatment in 3 to 4 weeks for best results. Do not apply to the same area more than 4 times a year not including spot treatments.
Use selectively to control/suppress broadleaf weeds growing in lawns.
Works quickly; dying weeds will be seen within hours of application. Treated weeds, moss, or algae will turn brown or black. Occasionally, a darkening of the grass leaf blades can occur after treatment, however the grass will recover within a few days to weeks. May stain thatch (dead grass under lawn); this does not affect the health of the grass.
Weeds: Controls or suppresses the following weeds such as but not limited to: Dandelion, English daisy, False dandelion, White clover, Black medic, Bull thistle, Canada thistle, Common chickweed, Creeping buttercup, Persian speedwell, Slender speedwell, Broadleaf plantain, Narrow-leaved plantain, Dovefoot geranium, Moss, Algae.

Background Previous research has shown a correlation between physician job satisfaction and patient satisfaction with quality of care, but the connection between job satisfaction of other primary care team members and patient satisfaction is yet unclear.
Objective To evaluate whether there is an association between patient satisfaction and job satisfaction of the members of patient care teams.
Design The study was based on data from the European Practice Assessment and used an observational design.
Setting 676 primary care practices in Germany.
Participants 47 168 patients, 676 general practitioners (practice principals), 305 physician colleagues (trainees and permanently employed physicians) and 3011 non-physician practice members (nurses, secretaries).
Main outcome measures Patient evaluation was measured using the 23-item EUROPEP questionnaire. Job satisfaction was measured using the 10-item Warr–Cook–Wall job satisfaction scale and further items relating to practice structure. Bivariate correlations were applied in which factors of patient satisfaction and practice structure were compared with physicians and non-physicians satisfaction.
Results Patient satisfaction correlates positively with the general job satisfaction of the non-physician (r=0.25, p<0.01) and no significant correlation was found for the general job satisfaction of practice principals and physician colleagues. Patients' satisfaction with the practice organisation correlates positively with the general job satisfaction of the non-physicians (r=0.30, p<0.01) and their view of practice structure (r=0.29, p<0.01).
Conclusions The correlation between non-physician team member satisfaction and patient satisfaction was higher than the correlation between satisfaction of physicians and patients. Patients seem to be sensitive to aspects of practice structure.

Jim,Good job, including adapting the dough formulation to accommodate a combination of room-temperature and cold fermentation of the poolish. I especially wondered about the honey in light of your comment about getting more crunch on the rim. Honey is a highly hygroscopic material--more so than sugar--so it does become difficult to get a crispy and crunchy rim because the honey keeps more moisture in the dough. Will we have to keep coming up with new ideas for you to try out to be sure that you stick around the forum ?Peter
My dough had a slight yeasty taste sometimes and I am thinking that is because I prefermented for 11.5 hours - right?
Also, I wanted to ask Pete or anybody how you guys deal with the super sticky dough. I used plenty of flour today. The previous times, I had disasters transferring the dough to the peel (it was so soft and elastic). Today, I draped it over my arm and transferred it quickly onto the peel that had cornmeal on it. Is this the technique?Lastly, what can I do about those huge bubbles? I opened the oven and tried to pop it during baking but it wouldn't pop.

I LOVE Oolong tea, but it tends to be more expensive (at least where I live). I'm wondering what you think is the best cheap Oolong (loose leaf). Right now, I'm drinking World Market's Organic Mountain Wulong from Hubei China. Its cheap and is suprisingly probably the best Oolong I've tasted and it holds up well to lots and lots of infusions. It has a very subtle fruityness that i love.
What other cheap Oolongs would you suggest I try? FYI I don't like the smoky Oolongs as much.
thanks for your help!

State government has become less transparent
This is Sunshine Week, sponsored by the American Society of News Editors and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. It's an annual time for the nation to talk about open government, and this time around, when we look out the window in New York, we see dark clouds blocking the sun.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has done much good for the state, but his administration has also shown itself to be controlling, hierarchical and secretive. He promised to make Albany more transparent, but he has led it in the opposite direction. Not only has campaign finance reform not happened, but the governor's re-election war chest is shrouded in mystery. Not only are big decisions still made by "three men in a room," but recently the governor used "emergency" measures to ram through the SAFE Act for gun control, enacting huge changes on a lightning-rod topic without proper public airing. No matter what you think about the law itself, the process was not open, and the blowback upstate is a natural reaction to that.
Furthermore, this administration has been zealous in silencing state workers and only letting official mouthpieces speak publicly. That's scary and unnecessary.
It also is prone to backfiring.
You may remember the case of Mike Fayette, the Department of Transportation engineer from Essex County who was forced to resign because he let an Enterprise reporter interview him about how well his department responded to Tropical Storm Irene.
Well, the Department of Environmental Conservation also requires every press contact to be routed through a central clearing house in Albany, no matter how small or uncontroversial the topic. Even professional state spokespeople in places like Ray Brook have to clear every inquiry and press release with the capital.
Of course, such a policy forces uniformity and lockstep, squelching staff opinions that might dissent from the official line.
It's also expensive to hire all those extra public-relations people.
It also doesn't work very well. Albany spokespeople often respond slowly, if at all. When they do, they don't know the answers to detailed local questions from far afield, and they have to ask the same staff members the reporter was trying to contact to begin with. The answers they provide are often limited to the point of being unhelpful, and they do poorly with follow-up questions. This gets in the way of a reporter's effort to understand more fully the matter he or she is asking about.
This offsets much of the good New York state government is trying to achieve. For instance, Gov. Cuomo and his team are pushing to promote upstate tourism, particularly in the Adirondacks, but as Enterprise Outdoors Writer Mike Lynch reported Saturday, these policies hurt fish and game writers, whose work does much for tourism.
A good example is Bill Hilts, an outdoor columnist who works for the Niagara Tourism and Convention Corporation. One way he promotes his region is by writing about the fishing in Lake Ontario, and since DEC fisheries biologists are local experts in that field, he has been interviewing them regularly for more than 30 years and sharing their knowledge in promotional publications like the Lake Ontario Outdoors magazine.
Now DEC forces him to call Albany to ask how the fishing is in the Niagara region – which is ludicrous. What's more, they didn't get back to him in time, he blew his deadline, and the latest issue lacks a fishing report.
DEC Commissioner Joe Martens says he, not the governor's office, enacted this policy, but it's hard not to be skeptical of him since every other state agency has moved in the same direction.
He said he wants to know everything that goes in the DEC, which has 3,000 workers. That's micromanagement to an extreme.
He said he gave the directive to ensure accuracy and to shield DEC's reduced staff from distraction. Both of those reasons are ridiculous.
Regarding distraction, state workers are by no means being bombarded with inquiries from the press corps, which is pretty small outside of New York City and Albany. Mr. Martens gave no example of such distraction, and we believe he would be hard pressed to come up with one, much less enough to show it's a serious state problem. Even if it is, these workers wouldn't have to talk to the press if they were too busy. That's certainly no reason to ban their communication even when it's feasible and sensible.
Regarding accuracy, we echo something Brian Mann wrote last week in the North Country Public Radio news blog: In our many years of journalism up here, we cannot think of an instance in which a state employee gave us wrong information about his or her field of expertise. Even if such a thing happened and we forgot it, it was not enough to constitute a problem.
We can think of many, many times when we got bad information – flat-out wrong, incomplete or misrepresentative – from official spokespeople. Furthermore, that information was sometimes spiced with agendas: political, self-protective or promotional.
On the other hand, when you talk to one of the state's many experts, he or she generally tells it to you straight, without a political agenda. They're just doing their jobs.
That straight story is what the public needs more of. Or even a long and winding story, as long as it's real.
That brings us to one more point, and we'll make it with an anecdote:
March 2001 was extremely snowy, and municipal road crews had trouble keeping up with the plowing. After a blizzard dropped 2 feet, the Saranac Lake Department of Public Works decided to save time and fuel by dumping snow into the Saranac River instead of driving each load to the village's snow yard.
Might this be bad for the river's ecosystem? That was the question Enterprise reporter (now editor) Peter Crowley asked all three water quality experts at the DEC Region 5 headquarters. Back then there was no press officer in Ray Brook (one followed shortly afterward), and staff could speak freely.
All three agreed it would be better if the village didn't dump snow in the river. It had been plowed up from roads and parking lots, so it contained sand, which fills in fish's spawning holes. The snow also had salt, which can affect wildlife; so can the thermal difference of adding freezing snow to the warmer river. How much harm would these things do? That was another place all three water quality experts agreed: There was no way to tell.
They disagreed, however, on what to do about it. Two favored ticketing the village, but the third said it wasn't worth the effort and wouldn't hold up in court.
Again, each of these guys was an expert, with intelligence, education and decades of experience. Experts don't always agree – and why should they? DEC higher-ups probably hated to see their guys contradicting each other in the paper, but that was the truth of the matter, the fuller reality. Through their plural voices, Enterprise readers learned about the complexity of issues like this.
Now the state is trying hard to speak with one voice, but that voice is less informative, less useful, less thorough and less reliable than the multiple voices of the past were.
Besides, why would any democracy-loving citizen want a government of thousands of workers who are spoken for with one voice? It sounds too much like George Orwell's "1984."
By consolidating communications in Albany, Gov. Cuomo has built up something in the direction of "1984"'s Ministry of Truth – a shameful thing in this land of the free. He should tear it down, relax his urge to control and, most importantly, respect state workers' credibility. That way he can restore his own, and that of his department heads.
But will he? Any time a government leader puts a dam in the river of public information, it's a power play. The dam gives advantage to its owner and restricts the flow to those below. Will Gov. Cuomo willingly demolish dams that increase his power?
If he doesn't, we take solace in our belief that these dams, so far, seem to be clumsy efforts, not strong enough to withstand the current. We can only hope the dams are never reinforced and therefore crumble quickly on their own.

Dunkirk man prison bound for burglary, knife incident
A Dunkirk man has been sentenced to state prison after a robbery and pulling a knife on police last year.
According to District Attorney David Foley, Jonathan Davis, 26, of Pike St. was sentenced to eight years determinate in state prison plus five years post release supervision for first-degree robbery.
On Aug. 18, police received a report around 10:30 a.m. that a 69-year-old male had been knocked down inside a business on Fourth Street by a male subject who attempted to take the victim's wallet and then ran from the area.
A description of the suspect was broadcast and Davis was located on Main Street. A foot chase ensued with Davis being tackled by Capt. Kenneth Kaus on Cliffstar Drive.
Police said that Davis then pulled out a knife and threatened Kaus and officer Robert Adams, before placing the knife against his own neck to avoid arrest. Davis was restrained and the knife was wrestled away.
After taking Davis into custody, police said he was positively identified by the victim. During the booking process officers learned he had an outstanding parole warrant for third-degree burglary committed in Tioga County. They also said they found crack cocaine in his pocket.

USA Women sweep opening night of 'Aiming for Athens' Tour
Palm Springs, CA---The USA Softball Women's National Team opened its 'Aiming for Athens' Tour in impressive fashion dispatching No. 7 Alabama 11-3 in five innings and No. 8 Stanford 9-0 in six innings. The U.S. extends its pre-Olympic Tour win streak to 117 games dating back to May 3, 1996.
"We were so anxious to get on the field and little sluggish at first," said head coach Mike Candrea. "But we really came out and did the things that we needed to do. Obviously with this team it is just getting at bats. Tonight was a great start offensively for us. We have some little things that we need to get better at and we will as we progress."
In the opening contest Alabama came out firing in the top of the first inning. Ashley Courtney hit the first pitch of the game from U.S. starter Lisa Fernandez (Long Beach, CA) to left field for a base hit. A sacrifice bunt by Jackie Wilkins was unsuccessful and resulted in a fielder's choice that placed Wilkins at first. After a stolen base, a wild pitch and a passed ball, Wilkins crossed home plate to put the Tide up 1-0.
The lead didn't last long as the Red, White and Blue responded with two runs in the bottom of the inning. Leah O'Brien-Amico (Chino Hills, CA) collected her first of three hits to get the rally started. Back-to- back walks to Tairia Mims Flowers (Tucson, AZ) and Fernandez loaded the bases. A wild pitch from Bama hurler Stephanie VanBrakle moved the runners 60 feet and plated O'Brien-Amico to tie the game at 1-1. The U.S. took the lead after Alabama third baseman Capper Reed made an errant throw on a Lovie Jung (Fountain Valley, CA) grounder that allowed Flowers to score from third.
Crystl Bustos (Canyon Country, CA) drove in the first of her four RBI of the game in the second inning with a single through the left side that scored Laura Berg (Santa Fe Springs, CA) who had reached on a bunt single.
A run in the third and two in fourth stretched the lead to 6-1 but the offense wasn't finished just yet. After Alabama closed the gap to 6-3 in the top of the fifth courtesy of a two-run home run by Jackie McClain, the U.S. exploded for five runs highlighted by a walk off home run by Amanda Freed (Cypress, CA) to end the game in the fifth due to the mercy rule.
The U.S. offense was led by O'Brien-Amico, who was 3-for-3 with an RBI, and Bustos, who was 3-for-4 with a home run and four RBI. Fernandez picked up her first win of the season going four innings and allowing only three hits and fanning eight. Lori Harrigan (Las Vegas, NV) pitched one inning of relief and allowed two runs on three hits.
"It was great to finally take the field and face real competition," Fernandez said. "It has been almost four months since our last game and being able to see such strong competition will only make us better as we prepare for Athens."
In the nightcap U.S. pitchers Cat Osterman (Houston, TX) and Jennie Finch combined to no-hit No. 8 Stanford and cruise to a 9-0 mercy rule victory.
"Our pitching tonight was good and is going to be our backbone," Candrea said. "Obviously you win with strong defensive pitching and I thought through some crazy conditions with the rain they all did really well. Fernandez finished strong, Harrigan really only got to throw one inning, Osterman moved the ball well and then Finch came in and shut it down throwing really hard."
The offense picked up where it left off against Alabama jumping out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning courtesy of Bustos second home run of the evening. Natasha Watley (Irvine, CA) led off the inning with a walk, moved to second on a sacrifice by O'Brien-Amico and scored on the Bustos blast.
Jenny Topping (Whittier, CA) provided the fireworks in the fourth inning with a two run shot to left field that scored Jung who led off the inning with a single.
The game came to a screeching halt in the bottom of the sixth inning due to the mercy rule when the U.S. posted five runs on four hits. Topping, Freed and Berg each singled in the inning and O'Brien-Amico ended with game with a three-run home run to centerfield.
Bustos and Topping both went 2-for-3 with two RBI, while Amico was 1-for-3 with three RBI. Osterman was perfect in her four innings of work in the circle striking out nine of the 12 batters she faced. Finch fanned five of the seven but hit one batter to end the bid for a perfect game.
In its first two games of the 'Aiming for Athens' Tour the U.S. squad outscored its opponents 20-3 and averaged 11 strikeouts per game.
The U.S. continues play at the Palm Springs Classic on Saturday when it faces the Irish of Notre Dame at 5:30 p.m. and No. 18 Tennessee at 8 p.m.

FD case is sent to District Court
The case of a Fort Dodge man accused of attempted murder has been sent to Webster County District Court.
Larry D. Crawford, 43, allegedly assaulted his ex-wife, Jolene Crawford, at their Fort Dodge home, 339 Loomis Ave., on March 2.
His preliminary hearing, which had been scheduled for Thursday, was waived after the Webster County attorney's office filed the trial information with the court.
Crawford's arraignment was set for March 25.
On March 2, Jolene Crawford was found unconscious in her bedroom by Fort Dodge police after they received a call about an assault.
She was initially taken to Trinity Regional Medical Center before being airlifted to a Des Moines area hospital in critical condition.
According to a police report, she suffered blunt force head trauma.
At the request of Crawford's family, her condition is no longer being released by hospital officials, though as of Monday she was still listed in critical condition.
Larry Crawford is being held in the Webster County Jail on $1 million bond.

Pandora's Box
Dear editor:
Several months ago I wrote a letter to the editor entitled "Marriage Equality. Be Careful What You Wish For." I was viciously attacked on-line for defending traditional marriage. Under the guise of marriage equality, same sex "marriage" appears to becoming more and more accepted. On one of his visits to America Pope John Paul II declared, "Vast sectors of society are confused about what is right and what is wrong and are at the mercy of those with the power to create opinion and impose it on others."
Throughout history every human society has recognized that there is a public interest in recognizing and regulating the only kind of relationship that brings children into the world. Now, it seems, that the changing definition of marriage will open the door for other relationships to demand the same entitlements and protection of law as marriage between one man and one woman.
The door is opening. In Utah the Federal District Court has ruled in favor of a polygamous family shown on the TV reality show "Sister Wives". The judge ruled that it is legal for a person to live as though they are married to more than one spouse so long as only one of them has legal status. While this does not create legally binding plural marriages, it is the next step in changing the traditional definition of marriage into an institution that recognizes intimate, romantic relationships between consenting individuals.
As society continues to depart from the natural definition of marriage, same sex "marriage, polygamy, First cousins, man-boy, girl-woman relationships will have a legal foundation protected from criminal consequences. Marriage equality taken to its logical end further weakens society, erodes the basic family unit and increases the decline of the birth rate. It"s happening now. Is that what you want?

I was lucky enough to be able to document photographically the awesomeness that is Ian Kinsler's delightfully floppy hair, from just about every angle.
I don't know what Kinsler is doing to Eddie....but I kind of like it.
Most adorable post in the blogosphere? I vote YES! Glad you're back, I've missed your writing!
that is why I call him "adorable ian kinsler" sigh.
Nice to find another Kinslerphile...great photos! :) I'm so jealous you were at this game!
On a related note, I have goofy nicknames for all my favorite Rangers...my friends were ready to throttle me last weekend, since I wouldn't shut up about Joshypoo, Kinslerkins, and Sexypants Wilson...LOL! (That being said, I am SO glad the Twins swept them, cute as they may be!)
Well, I'm glad I'm not alone in Ranger nicknaming. I just call CJ "Hot Hot CJ Wilson." I think there's a simplistic elegance to it.
Don't get mad, but do you ever think Kinsler looks a little bit like James Franco?
Yes! It's probably partly why I love him. I have had a Franco obsession since Freaks & Geeks.

Meet Jack Nielsen, former Police Chief of Albany New York. These days, as Deputy Police Commissioner for the UN Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) he oversees over 1,300 police advisers and officers serving as peacekeepers, from over 40 countries. Jack is from Albany, New York, where he had a law enforcement career that spanned over 30 years. He had seen and done it all.
A specialist in both community policing and the administrative functions of a major police department, Jack is one of those great public servants who have taken their skills overseas. After retiring he offered his talent to UN missions and U.S. assistance projects in Haiti and in Liberia, where he has toiled since 2007.
Jack believes in the good work he is doing but there are frustrations as well. There are only about 4,000 police officers in Liberia, a nation with three and a half million people. Last year he asked for ten more positions to oversee police transition. He received six. Ten months later the first new person will finally arrive.
I actually hired Jack for this Liberia job, back when I directed the State Department's Bureau for International Narcotic and Law Enforcement's civilian police program. So it was great to see him in action. He gives advice to the leader of the UN mission on how the Liberian police are really doing and how far away they are from managing missions completely on their own.
He traveled with us to the border town of Harper, where the UN police contingent looked a bit nervous to see their boss. He was briefed on the waves of minor crime which can threaten to spiral into larger conflicts.
For all peacekeepers, the challenge is real. I heard from a civilian staffer in UNMIL that one day, on his way to work, he was engulfed by a crowd that was beating a man to death for stealing. He was alone, and unarmed, but couldn't drive past. He told me, "I would have thought about it every day from then." So he stopped the car, faced the crowd, and pulled the bleeding man into his back seat. The man lived.
When incidents occur, Jack notes, the Liberian National Police have to be the first responders. The public must get used to dealing with them. But if they are overwhelmed, UN "formed" police units that deal with riot control, and then UN military forces, are available to keep things under control.
Jack is in his early 60's, with a serious look while on duty and a creased white shirt with a police badge pinned to the front, a U.S. flag on his left sleeve and a UN flag on his right. The transition from a highly military peacekeeping mission to one that is more focused on policing is on his shoulders. Jack says that for now, the UN's military presence, at least in certain parts of the country, is essential.
Editor's Note: This entry is the first in a three part series. The author and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs Tori Holt recently returned from travel to Liberia and Cote d'Ivoire. In the photograph above, Holt, center, speaks with Deputy Police Commissioner Jack Nielson on board an airplane in Liberia.

Binders & Sheet Protectors
Binders and sheet protectors are some of the most commonly used office supplies. Binders and sheet protectors can help you organize information and protect any sheet of document from physical damage.
- All the stress caused by mountains of paperwork can be easily alleviated with the help of a binder where all your documents can be easily segregated and organized. From a single sheet of 'To Do' tasks to other important company documents, binders can help manage your paperwork easily.
- Binders make it simple to quickly locate and access the document that you are looking for. To further organize your documents, you can insert index dividers in between the sheets in the binders to separate one sheet from another sheet, thus making it easier to access a sheet in terms of its relevance such as segregating months, quarters, and so on.
Sheet Protectors
- Sheet protectors are a great way to protect your important sheets from dust, liquids, and stains.
- Sheet protectors can make your documents like charts and presentations look more professional. Sheet protectors are also great for organizing your papers. Use sheet protectors with binders, report covers, or portfolios to make it look more impressive.
- Sheet protectors are clear, making it easy to see what type of sheet you have placed in them.
Find the binder and sheet protectors you're looking for with Sam's Club.

Certain diseases are fatal, thus, proper measures must be taken to ensure that once the symptoms have been confirmed, treatment must start immediately. Syphilis is one of the most communicable sexually transmitted diseases. If left untreated, Syphilis can be fatal.
It can lead to heart disease, brain damage and blindness. A woman infected with Syphilis can also pass it on unknowingly to her baby, if she suffers from the disease during her pregnancy. Syphilis can be easily treated, but if left too late, the antibiotics that treat it cannot reverse the damage caused by Syphilis.
Syphilis can be tested by:
- A blood test: In most cases, a simple blood test can confirm the presence of Syphilis by showing signs of the antibodies used to fight it.
- Testing the fluid from the sores: This is usually done in the case of primary or secondary Syphilis when sores are present on the patient's skin. Looking at a scraping of the sore under a microscope can be used to diagnose Syphilis if it shows the presence of the Syphilis bacteria.
- Testing cerebrospinal fluid: This is performed only in extreme cases of Syphilis where the disease may have caused complications with your nervous system. The earlier Syphilis is diagnosed, the easier it is to treat.
Syphilis is usually treated with antibiotics amongst which penicillin is the most preferred. If you've had Syphilis for less than a year, a single injected dose of penicillin can stop the disease from progressing. You may need additional doses if you have been suffering from Syphilis for more than a year. Penicillin is also the only antibiotic that can cure Syphilis and suits pregnant women as well. If you have been diagnosed with Syphilis during pregnancy, your baby should also be treated for it.
When undergoing treatment for Syphilis, here are a few other points to keep in mind:
- Abstain from oral, vaginal and anal sex until the sores have healed
- Get blood tests at regular intervals for at least a year after treatment
- Get tested for an HIV infection
- Fevers, nausea, headaches and chills are normal side effects associated with Syphilis treatment
- If you are allergic to penicillin, let your doctor know so that you can be given an alternative antibiotic
- If you have a lesion around your mouth, Syphilis can even spread through kissing another person
The good news is that once you've been cured of Syphilis, it does not recur. However, it is recommended to always use protection while having intercourse and abstain from sexual activities if your partner suffers from Syphilis.
I am 22 year old male. I was suffering from tonsillitis .Can anyone suggest me a good medicine to cure it.
Vitamin B is not one vitamin, but is a complex of 8 vitamins, which not only essential for a good health, but also enables smooth functioning of various functions of the body. Further, each of the vitamin B complexes has specific body functions ranging from iron metabolism to hair health to preventing migraineOur body requires vitamin substances, as stated by their names.
- Vitamin B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6, B7 (biotin), B9 (folate), B12.
- Vitamin B complex is widely present in food sources, and in someone who eats a well-balanced diet would be getting the required amounts of vitamin B complex.
- Vitamin B1, also known as thiamine, is required for the body to make new cells and so has a significant role in the immune system. It ias also known as the anti-stress vitamin as it helps in improving immunity. It also is required for breakdown of carbohydrates.
- Vitamin B2, chemically known as riboflavin, is essential for red blood cell production and transporting oxygen throughout the body. It also has antioxidant properties by reducing free radicals. This also has antiaging properties and reduces the onset of heart disease.
- Vitamin B3, also known as niacin, is essential for cholesterol regulation. It promotes the formation of good cholesterol and so essential for preventing the onset of heart disease. It also is shown to have anti-acne effects.
- Vitamin B5, pantothenic acid, is essential for fat and carbohydration metabolism. It also is required for the production of hormones including testosterone and cortisol (stress hormones). It is also beneficial to the skin by reducing antiaging effects including reducing brown spots.
- Vitamin B6 or pyridoxine, has a major role to play in sleep and mood regulation. It produces various neurotransmitters like serotonin, melatonin, and norepinephrine which are essential for emotional well-being. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and is useful in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.
- Vitamin B7 or Biotin is known as the beauty vitamin, as it has major hair, skin, and nail benefits. It is also essential for glucose level maintenance. It assumes great importance in pregnancy as it is important for normal growth of the baby.
- Vitamin B9 or folate or folic acid is again very essential in pregnancy as deficiency can lead to neurological defects in the developing baby. It also plays a major role in carrying oxygen to the cells through the RBCs.
- Vitamin B12 or cobalamin is essential to ensure the other vitamins are functioning properly. B12 deficiency leads to anaemia, as it enables the red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout the body. It is mostly present in non-vegetarian foods and supplements are commonly given in anaemic people.

To My Family, Friends and Fans in Akron:
For all my life, I have lived in Akron — and for that, I am truly a lucky man.
It was here where I first learned how to play basketball, and where I met the people who would become my lifelong friends and mentors. Their guidance, encouragement and support will always be with me.
Akron is my home, and the central focus of my life. It's where I started, and it's where I will always come back to.
You can be sure that I will continue to do everything I can for this city, which is so important to my family and me. Thank you for your love and support. You mean everything to me.
Hey LeBron.
as someone who was born in the same city, and has lived in the same area. "Go F--- Yourself". You're a selfish little prick that disgraced not only Cleveland on national television, BUT AKRON AND THE REST OF OHIO. You, just like Art Modell before you, are not allowed and claim this as "home", and are no longer welcome here. Go eat a semi-truck full of dicks
Akron Born and raised

Topic: Your preferred way to implement preferences?
now, since I'm in the army (every Austrian has to go to the army for 6 month) I don't have
much time for developing and reading/posting here in the forum.
But now I have a question that interests me since I'm working on my own blogging system:
What's your preferred way to implement a preferences section.
Sample preferences would be: blog title, email notification yes/no, spam protection yes/no, ...
I did it the CRUD(create, read, update, delete)-like way, but without the C and D :-) :
A table Preferences with columns 'key' and 'value'. A model 'Preference'.
How would you implement this?

First of all, thank you for your enthusiastic participation on the blog this week. We sincerely hope this series will bear much spiritual fruit in the coming days and weeks, as current events provide you opportunities to interact with friends and family concerning God's Word and the Roman Catholic Church.
We want to bring a close to this series by allowing John MacArthur to speak directly to you. Throughout the week we've repeatedly affirmed that Catholics are not the enemy, but the mission field. Nothing we've posted has any lasting value if we're not actively using the truth presented here to call people out of the damning darkness of the Catholic Church to biblical repentance and faith.
With that in mind, we asked John how he would personally bring God's truth to a Catholic friend or family member. We trust his words will be instructive and encouraging to you.

Thank you Grace to You!
My prayer is that anyone reading this series will realize that good works of any kind will not save you and you cannot establish your own righteousness. Read Romans 9:30-33 and Romans 10:1-4.
It can take some time (months or even years) to recognize and embrace that truth, especially because during our whole human existence we are accustomed to a life based on earning and working for things for our reward. Once you get past that for salvation, it is liberating and a source of freedom. I think of the the song "And Can it Be" that states:
Amazing love, how can it be
That thou my God should die for me
That thou my Lord shouldst die for me
Long my imprisoned spirit lay,
Fast bound in sin and nature's night
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray,
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light
I rose, went forth
and followed thee
My chains fell off, my heart was free
I rose, went forth and followed thee
No condemnation now I dread,
Jesus, and all in Him, is mine
Alive in Him, my living Head
And clothed with righteousness divine
Bold I approach the eternal throne,
And claim the crown,
through Christ, my own
Bold I approach the eternal throne
And claim the crown, through Christ my own
A life of faith and repentance will naturally produce good works. A life of only good works will not produce faith. You need a steady diet of God's Word. The good news is, even though Christians have ups and downs in their life (no one can do this perfectly), He will accept you back when you repent (turn around) 1 John 1:9. Your confession of sin needs to be directly to God, not through someone else, since only God has the power to forgive sin. It is when you have no sorrow for your sin and have no desire to repent that you need to worry.
A great sermon from John MacArthur is below. It really helped me years ago when I felt like a failure and was disappointed about my sin and not being good enough for God. None of us are good enough for God – you will ever meet that standard of holiness no matter what you do - that is why Christ died once for sinners. Note in the sermon or transcript about John MacArthur's reference to "the holy hop". It helped me tremendously when I was a new Christian and struggling with my failures.

Thank you again Pastor Macarthur for giving us the truth. The Spirit through you will save many.

Dear Catholic friends
As Pastor MacArthur mentioned, we cannot cause ourselves to be born again (John 3:8). It is a work of God in the believer's heart (Ezekiel 36:25-27). Read God's word. One cannot be born again without reading the Bible (1 Peter 1:23). Water baptism does not save. Spiritual things cannot be obtained through physical means. That's idolatry. An appeal to God for a good conscience through the resurrection of Christ is what saves us (1 Peter 3:21), an appeal to be clothed with Christ (Galatians 3:27), to be immersed in Christ, to be one with Christ. This is what it means to be baptized into Christ. And yes, if we are not baptized into Christ this way (again, not by water Romans 6:3-4), we are not saved. This appeal for the unmerited forgiveness of our sins and Christ's righteousness being credited to our account (2 Corinthians 5:21), with repentance and belief in his gospel as being the evidence of our new life in Christ (Mark 1:15), made with a sincere conscience, is what saves us (John 6:37) by means of the person and work of Christ alone.
Let me say one more thing. You WILL know if you have been born again. God's word will come alive to you (Hebrews 4:12). You will not be able to get Jesus Christ off of your mind. He will be the only thing that matters to you. You will think about him night and day. You will be in awe of what he went through to save you (Isaiah 53:10-11) even though you will never be able to comprehend the magnitude of it in this lifetime. You will be joyous to know that you will be worshiping and serving him day and night for all eternity (Revelation 7:15), and joyous to know that heaven isn't going to be some type of earthly party in the sky.
Thank you all for your posts this week. And thank you Pastor John for all your hard work on this very crucial subject. May the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ bless us all through the reading and understanding of his word.
From Benedict's final public appearance:
"I would like to invite everyone to renew firm trust in the Lord. I would like that we all, entrust ourselves as children to the arms of God, and rest assured that those arms support us and us to walk every day, even in times of struggle. I would like everyone to feel loved by the God who gave His Son for us and showed us His boundless love. I want everyone to feel the joy of being Christian. In a beautiful prayer to be recited daily in the morning says, "I adore you, my God, I love you with all my heart. I thank You for having created me, for having made me a Christian." Yes, we are happy for the gift of faith: it is the most precious good, that no one can take from us! Let us thank God for this every day, with prayer and with a coherent Christian life. God loves us, but He also expects that we love Him!"
Sure sounds like the antichrist to me.
Do not marvel, Charlotte (4). 2 Corinthians 11:13-19
But be transformed. Romans 12:2
I missed the anti-christ part of Charlettes reply. Please enlighten me. I seem dense today.
Thank You
#4 Charlotte, Pope Benedict wrote this in 1969, when he was cardinal Ratzinger, in a paper covering the RCC's doctrine on The Primacy of the Pope:
""The Pope,' writes Cardinal Ratzinger, 'is not just someone who speaks in the name of the bishops, a kind of mouthpiece they give themselves and which is there to do their bidding. The Pope is where he is, with a direct responsibility before God, to take the place of the Lord,"
The Catholic position paper reaffirms Ratzinger's statement, saying again and again, "Of the Pope it can truly be said: he acts in the person of Christ." [http://www.ewtn.com/faith/teachings/papab3.htm]
This week in his farewell speech, Pope Benedict "told the crowd he was not "coming down from the Cross", but would remain in the service of the Church through prayer." [Sky News]
Ratzinger believed then as now that the pope is the substitute of Christ on earth.
That is exactly the antichrist spirit.
I have long enjoyed confidence that Christ's work was for me, learned from John's Gospel and Epistles early in life. I'm never sorry anyone shares the Gospel as St. John the Evangelist received it from the Holy Spirit.
I can't help being sorry that you should choose to misread it to contradict the faith itself, though. True, we all offend; and so we must trust God's work rather than our understandings. Even Biblicists garble fundamental doctrines [ http://www.gty.org/Resources/articles/593 ]. I certainly did; as a TMC student eager to use inerrant Scriptures to "justify the ways of God to man," I erred into the blind alley of Pelagianism. In those days, as in painful years of return to orthodoxy, my enemy and most surprising friend was Augustine.
Protestants from Luther to today's Calvinists* stake their Augustine's reading of Paul against the Augustine who declared while preaching John 6:53 that "already have two councils on this question been sent to the Apostolic see; and rescripts also have come from thence. The question has been brought to an issue; would that their error may sometime be brought to an issue too! " [ http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/npnf106.vii.lxxxiii.html ].
You should read, then, what Augustine has to say concerning John 3--from a series of expository sermons:
[ http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/npnf107.iii.xii.html ] [continue from xii to xv]
When we read John 3:1-21, we should do so with joyful understanding, for we know the Spirit has been teaching through these words without interruption for 2000 years. And we will understand them better if we read the pericope John 2:1-John 1:46. [ http://www.esvbible.org/search/john+2%3A1%2C6-11%2C19%2C21-25%3B+3%3A1-27%3B+4%3A1-3%2C7%2C10%2C46/ ]
We see here not only Christ's signs of Deity, but his institution among his disciples of a baptism with greater sacramental meaning and more miraculous reality than Jewish purifications or even John's baptism. Is this not the teaching John 1 outlined, which the Baptist preached? Or do we think water-to-wine, birth by water and Spirit, and a colloquy on baptisms are clumsily juxtaposed by our most literate Evangelist?
That is what Augustine saw. And that is precisely the sense in which Trent cites John 3:
"if [sinners] were not born again in Christ, they never would be justified; ... in that new birth, there is bestowed upon them, through the merit of His passion, the grace whereby they are made just.
Justification of the impious is ... a translation, from that state wherein man is born ... to the state of grace [which] cannot be effected, without the laver of regeneration, or the desire thereof, as it is written; unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God." [ http://history.hanover.edu/texts/trent/ct06.html ]
* cf. http://www.spurgeon.org/calvinis.htm ; http://www.ligonier.org/learn/devotionals/augustine ; http://www.wts.edu/about/beliefs/statements/creation.html .
This was a great word and a great encouragement for engaging the "works salvation" folks in an evangelistic conversation. Thanks Dr. MacArthur.
Only Jesus can change their hearts and draw them to Himself.. and our duty is to preach to them the truth... and pray for them..

Two-week urgent referrals for suspected childhood cancer: experience within a large tertiary centre

In a recently published article on the role of the 2-week urgent referral system for suspected childhood cancer,1 Mant and Nanduri consider whether their findings, among the 35 patients referred to this system, might be representative of the wider population. We recently analysed our suspected cancer referral data for January 2009–December 2011. During this 3-year period, we received 312 such referrals. Our hospital is the main secondary care centre for paediatrics in Bristol …
