We are trying to determine if non-invasive MRI techniques can be used for the assessment and monitoring of patients with biliary diseases including primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), immunoglobulin-4-related sclerosing cholangitis (IgG4-SC) and suspected malignant biliary strictures. This 3-year study will be carried out at the Oxford Centre for Clinical Magnetic Resonance Research (OCMR) at the John Radcliffe Hospital. We would like to find some patients or relatives of patients to:
1) Review the 8-page participant information leaflet (PIL), the 1-page informed consent form (ICF) and the 2-page quality of life questionnaire for this study. This review can be done via email.
2) Attend a patient & public involvement steering group meeting to discuss and give feedback on the study protocol. We are hoping to organise the first meeting at the end of April and are aiming to make this an ongoing annual meeting during the period of the study.
Travel expenses will be reimbursed.

Jamaal Williams #30 RB
Green Bay Packers | Official Team Site
Height: 6-0 Weight: 213 Age: 24
Born: 4/3/1995 Rialto , CA
College: Brigham Young
Experience: 3rd season
High School: Summit HS [Fontana, CA]
Draft 2017
Pick No.134
Selected By: Green Bay Packers
Round: 4
Pick (Overall): 28 (134)
Pick Analysis:
Williams led the Cougars in rushing in all four seasons in which he played, even though he has had off-field and injury issues during his time in Provo. The all-state pick from California played immediately as a true freshman, starting eight games and rushing for 755 yards and 12 touchdowns on 166 carries. He also added 315 yards and a touchdown on 27 receptions. Williams was an FBS All-Independent team pick as the full-time starter in 2013, gaining 1,233 yards and scoring seven times on 217 totes (18-125 receiving). His junior season was derailed by a knee injury and suspension for multiple team code violations, including an underage drinking citation. He rushed for 518 yards and four scores in seven games that year, still leading the team in rushing. Williams sat out the 2015 season entirely after withdrawing from school for personal reasons, always intending to return for his senior season the following fall. He carried the mail for the Cougars 234 times in 2016, accumulating 1,375 yards and scoring 12 times, though he missed three games with an ankle injury. He finished fifth in the country with 137.5 yards per game last fall, in part thanks to a 287-yard, five-touchdown effort against Toledo before the ankle injury occurred.

Fifth Sunday After Epiphany
Year C, RCL
February 10, 2019
North Fork Ministries
Luke 5:1-11
Once while Jesus was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret, and the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, he saw two boats there at the shore of the lake; the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little way from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch." Simon answered, "Master, we have worked all night long but have caught nothing. Yet if you say so, I will let down the nets." When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets were beginning to break. So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they began to sink. But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!" For he and all who were with him were amazed at the catch of fish that they had taken; and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Then Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching people." When they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything and followed him.
There are some weeks when the gospel reading seems a little obscure and I feel like I have to work hard to coax some relevant meaning for us out of the ancient words of Jesus. Other times the message, either for me personally, or for us as a congregation, seems so direct, so pointed, that I'm almost tempted to embrace biblical literalism – a turn of events that would likely leave those of you who know me well, somewhat stunned. So stunned that you might be tempted to believe that, not only has it been cold around here lately, but that maybe hell has frozen over.
But today, Jesus' fishing expedition is so vivid in my mind that I can smell the brackish waters of Lake Gannesaret, feel the ropes cut into the disciples' hands as they struggle to bring their fishy load to the surface, and hear the threads of the nets begin to pop and break as they yield against the weight of such a magnificent catch.
It doesn't matter so much to me that this miracle story appears only in Luke and wasn't reported in ether Matthew or Mark. Multiple accounts are thought to add credence to the authenticity of stories about Jesus. In this case, I don't require credible sources or historical verification to believe in the tale of the miraculous catch of fish.
Because last Sunday afternoon we witnessed the miracle first hand. The need for Hispanic ministry was apparent to me when I first arrived on the North Fork. Our Hispanic population has grown rapidly of the past decade. These are immigrants who sometimes find themselves in a hostile environment and their spiritual, emotional, cultural needs were not being fully addressed by existing churches. And so, with more faith than certainty, just over a year ago, we convinced Bishop Provenzano that the fishing was good on the North Fork and he agreed to redirect Padre Romo to our care, and we began holding Spanish worship services.
Things started small. When we first began celebrating the Eucharist in Spanish, two families attended - 10 or 12 attendees, counting babies and a small dog. As numbers increased, we tried having services at both North Fork churches, but the time wasn't yet quite right for Holy Trinity. So we focused our attention on building the congregation at Redeemer, since most of the people attending lived in Mattituk or Riverhead.
In January, Luis Gonzalez, a much valued employee at Harbes Family Farm, was elected as a member of the Bishop's Committee at Redeemer. And the attendance at Eucharist steadily grew.
And then, last Sunday afternoon, the miracle happened. At 1:00 Spanish service, following Jesus' instructions to, "Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch," we opened the doors at Redeemer and 107 people walked in and found a place in the pews and along the aisles. I assure you, the angels in heaven were rejoicing… and so should we.
But you know the story of the disciples and Jesus' fishing expedition on Lake Gennesaret on didn't end with filling the nets with fish. Their nets were beginning to break and they had so many fish that their boat was starting to sink. And you know what they did? Luke tells us that "they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them."
We have been signaled. Our brothers and sisters in Christ need our help. You see, among that 107 people in attendance last Sunday afternoon were about 35 young children. You may be aware that our faithful parishioner and vestry member, Cindy Smith, has over the past year been leading a Sunday School class for the young kids, during the Spanish service. She has done a beautiful job. The kids love her. She has been able to barely manage alone with 10 or 12 kids in her charge. 35 young kids is just way too many to wrangle and she needs help. We need a team of volunteers, from both North Fork churches, to work with and teach these kids. It doesn't have to be every Sunday. A team of teachers can share the responsibility. We have desired and prayed that our North Fork Episcopal churches grow and flourish again. God is answering our prayers. What do we do with answered prayers?
We are witnesses to a miracle. The question is, what do we, those of us willing to lay claim to the idea of being a disciple of Christ, do with this enormous net full of fish? Are we willing to respond to the call?
I know that the 107 people that came last Sunday afternoon weren't simply a homogenous school of fish, anymore than we are. They are individuals from Hondurus, El Salvador, Mexico and The Dominican Republic. But they are people seeking family and they may just have found it.
You know, we come to church for all kinds of reasons. And I don't really know if one reason is any better than another. But one really good reason for us to gather here together is so that we can learn to recognize miracles – be ready to see them, call them out to one another, so that they don't slip past us. For what is a miracle but an encounter with the holy? And if, in this place, we can learn what it feels like to be in the presence of God, it becomes more likely that when we are outside these hallowed walls, we will see what is holy there too.
"When they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything and followed him." The bearing of witness to miracles is a call to discipleship. None of us have been called to the mission of the church because the liturgy is flawless, the music is always harmonious, the preaching is poetic, or the building is an architectural masterpiece.
We have been called to climb into this leaky boat together because we, like Simon and the sons of Zebedee, have been chosen as disciples of Christ. Inside this boat we are granted the opportunity to witness miracles and then asked, to leave everything and follow him. Do not be afraid, from now on, we will be catching people.

Michelle Obama Hilariously Breaks Down Why Melania Trump's Inauguration Gift Exchange Appeared So Awkward
The former FLOTUS also explained to Ellen Degeneres how Barack stepped in and saved the day.
(Photo: Tony Duffy/Getty Images)
She was widely known as "Flo-Jo" and she was considered the "fastest woman of all time." Florence Griffith Joyner was a track and field star who set world records in 1988 for the 100-meter and 200-meter competition, records that still stand.
Because of her athletic skill, her death in on Sept. 21, 1998, at the age of 38, shocked the nation. She died in her sleep as the result of an epileptic seizure.
Griffith was born in Los Angeles and raised in the Jordan Downs public housing complex. During the late 1980s, she became a popular figure in international track and field because of her record-setting performances and flashy personal style. She was the wife of the triple jumper Al Joyner and sister-in-law of long jumper Jackie Joyner Kersee.
In the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, she won the 100-meter final. In the 200-meter semifinal, she set the world record of 21.56 seconds and then she broke this record again in winning in the finals by 0.40 seconds with her time of 21.34 seconds.

Richard Goldstone, Louise Arbour and Carla Del Ponte served as prosecutors for the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. The two tribunals shared a prosecutor until 2003. Frederiek de Vlaming completed her dissertation at the University of Amsterdam, analysing how the three prosecutors selected their suspects, focusing mainly on the ICTY.
Bernard Ntuyahaga, a former major in the Rwandan army, will be tried starting April 19 before a court of Rwanda's former colonial power. For the Belgian justice system, this third universal jurisdiction trial for crimes committed in Rwanda in 1994 is the result of twelve years of efforts to try one of those it holds responsible for the murder of ten Belgian UN soldiers on April 7, 1994. For the accused, it is above all the end of a long drawn-out legal process.
France's attitude towards international criminal justice is marked by ambiguity. Paris subscribes to a vision of the world in which international humanitarian law is considered a way to curb violence against civilian populations, but at the same time it is wary of an unchecked judicial system that could end up prosecuting French soldiers engaged in areas where it has old and deep-rooted interests.
On November 17, over eight years after he began an investigation into the April 6, 1994 attack that cost the life of Rwandan president Juvénal Habyarimana and triggered the genocide of Tutsis in Rwanda, French judge Jean-Louis Bruguière requested that arrest warrants be issued against nine high-ranking officers in Rwanda's current military, including the chief of staff and the head of the army. He would also like to see the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) prosecute the current Head of State, Paul Kagame, who is protected in France by presidential immunity. However, the ICTR will likely do nothing.

Why I am running
To the editor:
One day in June, 16 years ago, I was asked to run for the House. I declined the honor, saying that I could not imagine running for office. One week later I filed, and did so every two years until 2010 when I decided it was time for reassessment and reevaluation. During the past two years I followed closely what was happening in Concord. I share the distress of many of my neighbors as individual privacy was attacked and efforts to devalue education, health and the environment were, all too often, successful.
Recently a number of people — friends, constituents, colleagues and people I did not know — asked me to run again. My honest answer was that I would like to run again but that I did not want to create a primary. If I were to run I would not be running against any incumbent. Rather I would be running in order to contribute my skills to addressing the problems of what will be an incredibly difficult year no matter who is in the majority.
After some restless nights weighing my options I concluded that the purpose of elections is to give voters a choice. I believe that my record of leadership, experience, and credibility on both sides of the aisle, and my values and voting record over fourteen years during which I represented Durham and Madbury, as well as Lee, justify my decision to ask my friends and neighbors to consider my candidacy for the New Hampshire House. I have no illusions that I will win but I feel an obligation to try.
Public education from pre-k through university continues to be high on my list of priorities, along with access to health care for all, the right to privacy, the importance of a strong and independent judiciary and the appropriate role of government. During the last two years we lost some of the significant gains we made since 1996, but we were able to protect some of those gains. I want to add my experience, my commitment and my voice to help shape the work of the next legislature.

About Duncan
To the editor:
Do you know about the Shadow Government in Concord? It is officially known as the NH Executive Council and the members must approve everything the Governor does, especially most contracts and appointments. If you are unaware of this unique arrangement you are not alone, as approximately 90% of New Hampshire residents are not familiar with the Executive Council or its role.
Now you understand why it is so important whom we elect to serve on the council. If you vote for a Governor of one party and Executive Council members from another you are pretty much handcuffing the Governor and ensuring gridlock. Splitting your vote will not bring balance to government; you only have to look to the US Senate for an example of partisan paralysis.
I recently spoke with an individual who, when elected, will be a step in the right direction toward upgrading the membership of our Executive Council. Bill Duncan is a reasonable, practical, capable and compassionate individual who does not think that compromise is a dirty word and believes that decisions should be based on what is best for the people of NH. Bill is an Annapolis grad with an Engineering degree, a very successful entrepreneur, an education advocate and a former Durham Town councilor. All this means that Bill possesses the discipline and analytical skills that would be highly useful in reviewing the technical details of the contracts that are approved by the council. Bill has also created jobs in New Hampshire for New Hampshire graduates and understands the value of a good education system. His previous government experience has helped him to learn to effectively operate in a political system that requires a different set of skills than in business.
Bill Duncan possesses a perfect set of personal attributes, business and political skills and dedication to public service. I spent 35 years with Xerox and 5 more years consulting with Fortune 100 companies and I know an effective leader when I see one. I would be proud to call Bill a friend and prouder yet if he is elected to represent me on the Executive Council.

Sets an example
To the editor:
Senator Susan Collins has never missed a single vote since she took office in January 1997. This week, she topped 5,000 votes cast during her tenure. Five thousand consecutive votes is a very impressive record. Whether one agrees or disagrees with her position on every one of those votes should not diminish the deep commitment Senator Collins has demonstrated to the spirit of the democratic system and to the people of Maine.
In fact, Senator Collins has cited the dedication of working Mainers as her inspiration to make it to the Senate floor each and every time. Her commitment to her job and her appreciation of the impact that each vote can have on her constituents stands as a model of representational government.
With the elections just around the corner, it is my hope that newly elected and re-elected federal and state legislators will work as hard as Senator Collins to examine the challenges we face in Maine. The needs of a constituency facing challenges around health and long-term care, unemployment, hunger and age discrimination deserve our elected leaders' concerted and undivided attention.
Carol Kontos
AARP Maine State President
and ObamaCare
To the editor:
If you get a chance, check out Carol Shea Porter's Column in the Rochester Times (and in Foster's) dated July 12, titled "It's Legal and it's Good." I burst out laughing when I read that heading. She is of course referring to the Supreme Court decision upholding ObamaCare.
Why does Carol fail to mention that in 2014, the most expensive spending provisions of ObamaCare will kick in? The next decade will feature an extremely accelerated spending growth period to 7.4 percent of our annual GDP, which is 2.1 percent faster than would be expected if nothing is done.
Insurance companies are already increasing their premiums in anticipation of ObamaCare kicking in fully. Eventually these premium increases will drive them out of business, leaving one choice — government provided health care. That is Obama's long range plan. It has been from day one.
Porter is careful when she mentions those that will be fined for not having insurance. Supreme Court Justice Roberts ruled that ObamaCare is a Tax and the Democrats have been running away from calling it that since the ruling. They are calling it a "penalty". It is indeed the single largest tax increase in the history of this country.
And there will not be relief for small businesses. Just the opposite will happen. The tax credit offered is not big enough for any significant impact and the paperwork is a nightmare to complete and submit. And another thing she doesn't tell you is that the tax credit for small businesses phases out of existence in 2016.
Medicare will be significantly weakened by ObamaCare. The Medicare Advantage Plan will be destroyed because this bill cuts $145 billion dollars from it. For those people who are not eliminated entirely from this program, their benefits will be significantly reduced.
Finally, Carol wants us all to get along and just accept this train wreck. No way! This bill will be repealed by President Mitt Romney and a Republican-controlled Congress. In addition, Porter will be defeated at the voting booth. We simply can't afford ObamaCare or Carol Shea-Porter representing this state.
Don Chesnel
The infamous
To the editor:
Agreed the concept seems as though it will place "we the people" deeper in debt. It's not true. Inaccurate facts and sound bites have thoroughly confused Americans.
As a retired critical-care RN who has 25 years of experience, "we the people" allowed this to happen. We are all part of the equation. Health care delivery has spiraled out of control because we didn't bother to notice. We took health care for granted and now costs are rising out of control. Inefficient plans of care, masquerading as necessary to sustain pure health and well-being. Exams and tests that merely allow physicians to encapsulate care and disconnect from patient.
Think about it. You're lucky if you get a good 15 minutes out of a visit, and frequently it's with everyone but the doctor.
Insurance, hospitals, independent health stations need income to survive so what cost $1.50 two years ago is now $4.75. Liability protection at all levels of health care delivery has skyrocketed as well.
We cannot go back, but we can slow down and draw in the reins. We need to manage our health care, eliminate fraudulent waste and needless repetition. This, my friends, is what ObamaCare does.
A most eloquent and detailed (and easily understood) accountability of the Affordable Care exists at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patient_Protection_and_Affordable_Care_Act.
I appeal to everyone, physicians, nurses, hospitalists, all health care delivery personnel. Please take time to familiarize yourself with this website. All the answers are there plain and straight forward. The health and well-being of our Nation depends on " We the People" to clear the confusion and see how Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act can carry us Forward to a more efficient cost effective health care delivery system.
Cynthia L. Morrissette
A revolution?
To the editor:
President Obama's going to Ohio to challenge candidate Mitt Romney on economy-damaging jobs exportation makes me remember a May event.
In early May President Obama signed new free trade agreements with Colombia, as well as South Korea and Panama. A Brookings Institute report online (May 17 — "Celebrating Colombia's Free Trade Agreement") makes me leery: "Colombian agriculture has been protected by a regime of no taxes, but it will now face large-scale and more efficient U.S. producers. Small manufacturers will need to invest in computer and electronic equipment to develop their budgets, and marketing strategy." The farmers and small manufacturers in Colombia have been tossed to the corporate wolves.
What I really expected from our transformative president was fair trade agreements.
Fair trade has been around for years now, with chocolate and coffee products on our store shelves, especially in our health food stores and co-ops. What is Obama doing, being stuck in the old Clinton-Bush mentalities and signing those agreements that cause jobs to leave the country and make hardships for small people? Now he challenges Romney on his actions causing jobs to leave the country? We really are in corporations' hands, whoever is U.S. president.
We should disband our current political parties and instead vote for corporations or people, with a "- C" after our names when we register or a "-P." Can you imagine the fresh faces we'd get when candidates are vying to represent the People? What a revolution it'd be!
Lynn Rudmin Chong
Obama tax?
To the editor:
What is this Unaffordable Care Act, often called ObamaCare, now that it has been upheld? It is many things.
Among other things, it is the largest tax in American history. Is this reason to celebrate? No. It is a tax that will hurt poor people, the unemployed, and the young the most, those who can least afford to pay.
The middle class will be affected adversely also. They will pay the tax for themselves, and their kids 26 and younger, because those kids can't find jobs.
This is not time for celebration. This is a day of national sorrow. The poor, unemployed, and young working-class poor will be hardest hit.
The is the true face of left-wing extremist liberalism. Tax, tax, and more tax.
We can nullify this at the State level, so you can keep your insurance. However, we will need your votes.
David Martin
State Rep. Candidate
Ward 4
End ObamaCare
To the editor:
ObamaCare must be repealed. Under ObamaCare (the Affordable Care Act), 17 million children can no longer be denied coverage because of pre-existing conditions. Now we hear that 6.6 million young people obtained insurance through their parents, medical insurance they otherwise would not have had. All because of ObamaCare.
It's not only young people either. Seniors have (so far) saved $3.7 billion on prescription drugs since the Affordable Care Act went into effect. Even worse, 105 million Americans no longer face lifetime limitations on their insurance coverage. Now if you get sick and actually use the insurance you paid premiums on for years, the insurance companies can't just kick you off. How unfair to the insurance companies!
Still not convinced? Well ObamaCare threatens the US status as # 1 in medical bankruptcies. It works this way. Sixty-two percent (62%) of those declaring bankruptcy in 2011 did so because of medical bills — and more than 3/4 of those had insurance! Under ObamaCare the number of medical bankruptcies will go way down. True, this will greatly reduce the suffering of families and individuals, but we'll lose our status as # 1 in medical bankruptcies!
We must repeal this legislation because it helps so many millions of ordinary Americans!
Michael Frandzel
Vote Duncan
To the editor:
As you vote for governor this fall, your vote for Executive Council is just as critical. Whether you know it or not, it impacts many aspects of your personal and professional life.
The power of the state's Executive Council lies fact that the Governor must get the council's in its approval of all appointments and contracts — hundreds of decisions each month. But the current Executive Council has misused its power and made partisan political decisions. For instance, responding to road builders and bus operators, it voted to reject a $4 million federal grant to plan a much needed commuter rail service from Boston up to Manchester and Concord. They also rejected federal funding for a health care insurance exchange that would reflect our real needs in New Hampshire.
There are many important decisions coming in the Executive Council's next term — in health care, transportation, education and many other areas important to all of us. We can't afford more partisan political decision making.
New Hampshire's proud history of democracy in its state government should not be overturned by a few at the expense of the many, which is why we need Bill Duncan, not the partisan Chris Sununu, as our Councilor for District 3. Bill Duncan, a military veteran, businessman and education advocate, will represent our district with respect and regard to all and restore balance to the Council. Vote for Bill Duncan, Executive Council..
Jan Dunn
Vote Lamontagne
To the editor:
I urge Republicans to vote for Ovide Lamontagne for governor in the primary on Tuesday, Sept. 11. He has extensive business, civic affairs and nonprofit experience. He's demonstrated the kind of executive leadership that we need in Concord. He has taught high school, served as chairman of the N.H. Board of Education, and was legal counsel for the New Hampshire Senate for two years. His leadership roles in civic affairs include Director of the Easter Seals Society of NH, President of the Daniel Webster Council of the Boy Scouts of America, and Chairman of St. Mary's Bank board of directors. He's served on the Governor's Commission on Domestic Violence, on the board of directors of NH Court Appointed Special Advocates, and he and his wife have been foster parents since 1987.
Recognized as one of the top business attorneys in New Hampshire, he has decades of experience helping health care institutions. Last year Americans For Prosperity (AFP-NH) honored him as NH 'Conservative of the Year,' calling him "a proven conservative that has spent a lifetime advocating for smaller government, lower taxes and a more prosperous business environment in both NH and at the national level."
Ovide is a native of Manchester NH and his last name is from his French-Canadian ancestors who moved to Manchester long ago to work in the mill buildings. Pronounce "Ovide" by starting with a long "o" and end with "id."

For the cupcakes:
175g Butter at room temp
175g Self raising flour
175g Caster sugar
1/2 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
3 large eggs, beaten
For the frosting:
1 x 227g tub of clotted cream
250g icing sugar
For the jam:
250g Strawberries
125g Granulated sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice
1. Preheat the oven to 180c and line a 12 hole muffin tray with cases.
2. Cream the butter and sugar together then slowly stir in the eggs. Add the flour, baking powder & vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.
3. Spoon into 12 cases and bake for 20-25 minutes. Set aside to cool.
4. Meanwhile, to make the jam: purée and sieve the strawberries (You don't have to sieve but I prefer no bits. You can also just mash the strawberries if you prefer your centre to be more chunky.)
Put in a pan with the sugar and stir. Place the pan on the hob and bring to the boil. Add the lemon juice and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring regularly.
Pour the jam into a jug and place in the fridge for 15-30 minutes to cool down and set just a little. The jam will still be fairly runny after this time. It is supposed to be. It will run just enough into the cake and ooze out when you bite into it!
You can skip this part if you wish and just use shop bought jam but this will obviously be much less gooey and yummy.
5. Whilst the jam is cooling, use a cake corer (available in most supermarkets now. I got mine for £2 from Tesco) to create a hole in the middle of each cupcake.
6. Pour in the cool jam mixture to each hole and cover the top with the cake bit that came out of the cake corer.
7. To make the frosting simply mix the clotted cream with the icing sugar. Spoon into a piping bag and put in the fridge for 10 minutes.
8. Pipe swirls onto the cakes and top with a fresh strawberry slice.

From Flood to WURST & the Reopening of a Calgary Favourite
It's been seven months since the flood in Calgary, and Mission's WURST Überkitchen and Wunderbar {previously known as WURST German Restaurant and Beerhall} is better than ever. In fact, you wouldn't even know that the restaurant had been devastated, closed, and nearly completely rebuilt over the past six months.
Chris Rosamond, General Manager, chose to look on the bright side of things, and took the opportunity to really consider customer feedback from the past two years and incorporate new ideas into the revamped restaurant.
"We like to think of it as taking the best of Wurst and making it better," Rosamund said, adding that both the upstairs and downstairs portions of WURST now share one, more approachable and affordable menu. There's now less of a focus on über-German dishes, and more sharing, family-style items.
The downstairs is brighter and fresher, and the only original items are the wooden beams and tables that were imported from Germany. The communal-style tables, weighing about 1,000 pounds each, were found floating in the water after the flood, and have since been decontaminated, kiln-dried, and re-planed. Kind of a beautiful testament to the resilience of the place – wouldn't you say? Despite the changes, WURST still has that fun, community-driven, "cheers to pints with new friends!" kind of feel, but better.
So let's all grab a frosty mug of kölsch and celebrate WURST's reopening, shall we? Prost!

Barrasso: Government Takeover of Health Care Would Result in Longer Lines, Longer Wait Times, and Lower Quality
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-WY), Chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, released the following statement today regarding Democrats' plans for a government takeover of health care:
"Medicare for All would hurt patients across America. A government takeover of health care would result in longer lines, longer wait times and lower-quality care.
"By banning private insurance, this radical proposal would take away health care from 180 million working Americans. It would also destroy American innovation that leads to breakthroughs in treatments and therapies.
"Single-payer health care failed in Senator Sanders' home state of Vermont. It fails patients in Canada and Great Britain every day. And it would destroy the high quality of care in the United States."

The electric-vehicle market may be a small niche segment, but you wouldn't know by the price wars going on right now. The latest cuts come from General Motors' (NYSE:GM) slashing $5,000 off the cost of the 2014 Chevy Volt -- a move intended to boost sales.
Consumers looking for great EV deals won't be disappointed, and as the amount of EV models grows, it looks as if lower prices may be the new normal.
Drop it like it's hot
Since the beginning of 2013, nearly every automobile manufacturer has dropped the price of its EV vehicles. If you haven't been keeping up -- and honestly, who can? -- here's a quick rundown of the changes:
- The 2014 Chevy Volt costs $5,000 less than its beginning price in 2013.
- Nissan (OTC:NSANY) dropped the Leaf price by $6,400 earlier this year.
- Honda slashed more than $100 per month off the Fit EV lease in May.
- Ford knocked off $4,000 from Focus EV price last month.
- Daimler took off 30% off the monthly lease for the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive just days ago.
- Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) hasn't lowered its Model S price, but it introduced a lease-to-own option back in April.
The Volt's price drop comes amid rising Leaf sales. Last month, Nissan sold 1,864 Leafs, compared with 1,788 Volt sales. It's not just Nissan and Chevy that are in a back-and-forth battle, though. The entire EV industry is on the cusp of increasing competition.
The more the merrier
The International Energy Agency reported that in 2011, just 45,000 electric vehicles were sold worldwide and that in 2012 that number jumped to 113,000. According to Autodata, nearly 49,000 electric vehicles have been sold in the U.S. so far this year. Right now, Tesla takes the No. 1 spot for electric-vehicle sales, with the Leaf and Volt following behind.
Part of the sales increase has come from the overall spike in electric-vehicle models on the market. This year there are more than a dozen electrified vehicles for sale, and more competitors, such as the BMW i3, are coming soon. As more electric cars enter the market, consumers can expect the pricing wars to continue, but that's not the only thing that will help lower costs.
The Electrification Coalition said that in 2008, the price per kilowatt hour for EV batteries was as high as $1,000 -- but that number is expected to drop to about $35/kWh by 2020. If battery technology progresses quickly enough -- along with increasing electric-vehicle sales -- investors and consumers may be looking at a bright future for EVs.
Investors should continue tracking EV sales, along with possible battery price drops, to keep a pulse on the overall industry. With GM and others dropping their EV prices, it's likely that we haven't seen the bottom of electric-car deals -- and that could be a very good thing for sales.

George Osborne believes the overcrowded capitals needs to expand upwards and he's going to make it easier to do so.
New proposals unveiled this week by the Treasury could mean It may soon be possible for London homeowners to add more than one storey extensions, without having to gain planning permission. As long as the proposed development is not higher than their neighbours property.
This is going to be part of a set of reforms to relax planning rules to help bump up home construction due to the shortage of homes here in the UK.
This movement has been proposed to help homeowners. For example, a growing family could add extra space to their home by adding extra storeys, without needing to gain planning permission!
This will be based on the Neighbour Consultation Scheme. Meaning the home owner will still need to notify the council. The council will then notify adjoining properties informing the neighbours of the proposed development, giving them the option to object or not. (An objection needs a valid reason for the local authority to be able to refuse your proposal).
The proposal will follow the general Permitted Development rules and apply to houses but not flats or maisonettes.

It's perhaps not the most exciting purchase, but this 3-bag laundry sorter can make your laundry day suck a little less by allowing you to separate out all your laundry categories (lights, darks, delicates, etc) before wash day. It might even prevent you from washing that dry-clean-only shirt, or accidentally dyeing all your white clothes pink with that run-away red sock. Whatever the case, this sorter is ~$6 less than usual for Prime members.

Yoga Exploration in India: Finding spiritual growth.
The words of Sri Aurobindo are an inspiration to Ireen, who invites other practitioners to travel with her to India each year, to give them the opportunity to receive teachings by her Indian yoga masters themselves. We caught up with Ireen to hear all about what you can expect on her next India exploration.
Ireen has lived in India for many years. It was in India that her love for yoga blossomed and she started to embrace the opportunity to delve deeper into this beautiful art of living.
She graduated as a Yoga Siromani in the field of Raja Yoga at the Yoga Studio New Delhi under the guidance of Seema Sondhi. During her last year in India, she also started teaching Vinyasa yoga at the Yoga Studio. A natural progression from here found her completing a 500 level teachers training in Transformational Yoga under the guidance of Sri Swami Vidyanand. She became a teacher at his SriMa International School of Transformational Hatha Yoga, teaching 200 level teachers training. In 2016, she received the Grand Master qualification in Transformational Yoga.
During the past few years she also became student of Professor Ramesh Bijlani to indulge herself deeper into the Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo.
Over the last 5 years, Ireen has invited yoga practitioners of all levels and styles to travel with her to India to bring them back to the essence of yoga which she believes got lost in the western world.
Ireen will be leading her next exploration in September 2018. This Retreat is suitable for anyone who is truly interested and curious about yoga in al it's aspects.
Part one of the Yoga Exploration will be in the Aurobindo Ashram Delhi where guests will receive lectures based on the Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo. Topics covered include spiritual worldview, purpose of life, meditation and more. These lectures will be led by Professor Ramesh Bijlani, a retired medical doctor, writer, inspirational speaker, scientist and author of 12 books. Guests are invited to participate in all the ashram activities which are daily physical yoga classes, satsang, meditations, seeva. Opportunities are up to the attendees.
On Part two of the trip, Seema Sondhi of the Yoga Studio Hauz Khas will be taking all guests for a yoga retreat to Madhuban in the Himalayas You can expect hatha based daily yoga classes, meditation, pranayama and Asana based workshops. Excursions and guided hiking trips in Madhuban will be included. Seema Sondhi has been teaching yoga for the past 25 year. She has been certified from the International Sivananda Vedanta and Yoga Centre and studied under the tutelage of Sri Pattabhi Jois. The Yoga Studio offers various styles of Hatha based classes which guests will be able to attend during part one of the trip.
Over and above, there is also plenty of free time to explore Delhi, Madhuban and Indian culture. For those who want a day trip to Agra, it can be organized to visit the Taj Mahal and Red Fort.
The main aim of the Yoga Exploration 2018 is Yoga. Not only are guests offered wide opportunities of yoga practice, but also inspirational lectures that have been specifically designed for this group. The ashram is a place for spiritual growth and it is important that all guests respect the space.
Ireen is looking for likeminded, sincere yoga practitioners to join her in this September Yoga Exploration.

In fact, they will likely have consequences that go against the stated objectives of the Trump administration. The sanctions will restrict Iran's energy exports and isolate its struggling banks. USA heating oil futures surged to $2.2258 a gallon, the highest since February 2015. European oil companies are not ruling out reducing Iranian oil imports after the threat of new US sanctions, with some expecting banking issues to hinder trade, but there was no rush to immediately cut volumes.
Walmart also mentioned no celebration would be responsible to pay a termination fee if a share issuance or invest in arrangement with Flipkart were also terminated. The US retail major will initially appoint five directors on the board of the Indian company and may appoint an additional director in future.

In an interview Thursday, Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland said "Canada's perspective" was expressed to the US government.
Partnering with the Salina Emergency Aid Food Bank, Salina Letter Carriers, community groups, and volunteers, we're working on the issue of hunger and poverty.

Malaysia's Immigration Department announced the travel ban moments after the scandal-plagued Najib said in a Facebook post that he and his family were taking a post-election holiday overseas starting from Saturday and would return next week.
All investments can fall as well as rise in value so you could get back less than you invest. The Bank of England has backed away from raising interest rates following a sharp slowdown in growth. "We expect the disappointing first quarter to be portrayed as a temporary lull by the MPC. and therefore expect the lack of a hike to be presented as an expected postponement rather than a cancellation", UBS interest rate strategist John Wraith said.
Despite the fact that Belarusians were not among the finalists either, we can give our votes for the best hit on Saturday during the Grand Final. At this stage though, we're happy with getting into the final after five years of just missing out on it.

The actress never disappoints her fans. She completed this look with some fantastic red Christian Louboutin shoes. Her airport outfit featured designer names like Maison Margiela, Alexander McQueen, Tom Ford and Celine. Here's Deepika in another dress. She complemented her fourth picture saying, " float like a". Instead of letting her locks hang down her shoulder, Deepika's stylist chose to tie it up into a high ponytail, letting her face steal all the attention.
Thursday's weak core inflation number is "not enough to derail the Fed's June hike, but points toward lower rates further out the curve", wrote Ian Lyngen, head of USA rates strategy at BMO Capital Markets in NY. Gasoline prices led the increase, growing 3.0%. Further increases are likely after crude oil prices jumped to three-and-a-half-year highs on Wednesday in the wake of US President Donald Trump's decision to pull the US out of an worldwide nuclear deal with Iran.
The settlement could pave the way for the British government to begin selling its stake in RBS again, which now amounts to 71 per cent of the business.

In April, Carney sent sterling downwards when he suggested the Bank of England would not rush into a rates hike due to mixed economic messages. At the latest meeting, seven members voted to keep interest rates on hold and two, Ian McCafferty and Michael Saunders, voted for an increase.

"The Talented Ones"...heard!
Last night, we hosted an outstanding semi-private reading of The Talented Ones by Yussef El Guindi!
Audiences LOVED IT! As Artists Rep Guild Member Len Magazine wrote in a Facebook post this morning, "You won't want to miss this one when it is produced because it is about life, relationships, marriage, bigotry, immigration and dreams. Not only is it smartly written, but it flows smoothly with humor and with such intensity, we were on the edge of our seats wondering where this was going, especially at intermission. The set up left us breathless with anticipation."
The reading was directed by Jane Unger and featured Heath Koerchgen (Patrick), Khanh Doan (Cindy), Barbie Wu (Dancer/Younger Cindy), Murri Lazaroff-Babin (Omar's Father/Younger Omar) and John San Nicolas (Omar), with stage directions by Alissa Jessup.
This was the very first reading as part of Table|Room|Stage with the Oregon Community Foundation's "Creative Heights Initiative." This reading was part of our commitment to hold readings and workshops of our new play commissions to aid the playwrights as they develop their new work. The Talented Ones is part of our 2016/17 season, on stage next season April 25-May 21, 2017.
The American Dream teeters on the edge of the abyss as immigrants Cindy and Omar face their thwarted dreams and unraveling marriage while Omar's buddy Patrick connives to push them over the edge. In this surprisingly funny dark comedy, trouble erupts one night when bad choices are followed by verrrrry bad choices. The stakes become lethal as these characters manipulate the truth and do anything to justify their desires.

Penn State
Spikes' Freeman added to all-star team
State College Spikes outfielder Wes Freeman has been added to the National League roster for next Tuesday's New York-Penn League All-Star Game in Lowell, Mass.
A recent surge has resulted Freeman in hitting .405 with one homer and eight runs in 10 August games. Freeman, a 16th-round draft pick out of high school in 2008, has improved his batting average to .279 with a team-leading six homers. Freeman has raised his average 110 points since July 17.
Freeman will join catcher Samuel Gonzalez in next week's game. Carlos Mesa also made the NL roster but he will miss the game because of multiple injuries.

The Insurance Information Institute (iii.org) suggests the following steps to prepare for a hurricane and other disasters:
- Review Your Insurance Coverage
The time to review your insurance policy is before you have to file a claim. You should have enough insurance to rebuild your home and replace all of its contents.
- Make sure you have enough insurance to rebuild your home. Look into getting an extended replacement policy for the structure of your home or a guaranteed replacement cost policy, if your insurer offers one. Extended replacement cost coverage generally pays 20 to 25 percent more than the policy limit to repair or replace a damaged home. A guaranteed replacement cost policy pays to rebuild your home regardless of cost. Both are designed to protect you in the event that after a major disaster the high demand for building contractors and materials forces up the normal cost of reconstruction.
- Ask about replacement cost coverage for your belongings. When insuring your possessions, you have two coverage choices. One is actual cash value (ACV), which replaces your belongings less depreciation. The other is replacement cost coverage, which replaces your property at today's value—without a deduction for depreciation. A replacement cost policy costs about 10 percent more than an ACV policy, but is a much better value in the long run.
- Find out how much coverage you have for Additional Living Expenses (ALE). If you cannot live in your home because of damage due to an insured loss, additional living expenses coverage pays for the added costs of living away from home—such as hotel bills and restaurant meals—while your house is being repaired or rebuilt. If you rent out part of your home, ALE also replaces lost income for the time you are not able to collect rent. Many policies provide ALE coverage for about 20 percent of the amount of insurance you have on your house and for a specified time period. Additional ALE coverage is generally available for an extra premium. If you have any questions about ALE, talk to your insurance professional now.
- Consider flood insurance. Flood and/or storm surge-caused damage to a home is not covered by standard homeowners or renters insurance policies. It may take as long as 30 days for a flood insurance policy to go into effect, so it's important to secure your coverage as soon as possible. We have many options for you at D.F. Dwyer Insurance, learn more here.
- Understand your deductible. Separate hurricane deductibles are incorporated into many homeowners insurance policies issued in the 18 coastal states from Maine to Texas. A deductible is the amount of money policyholders pay out-of-pocket before their insurance coverage kicks in. It is important to understand whether a hurricane deductible applies to your policy and how it will affect your insurance claim. Hurricane deductibles apply solely to damage caused by hurricanes, and typically vary from 1 percent to 5 percent of the insured value of a home. For example, a policyholder whose home is insured for $200,000 with a 2 percent hurricane deductible would have to pay the first $4,000 needed to repair the home themselves if the loss were caused by a hurricane. Whether a hurricane deductible applies to a claim depends on the specific "trigger," and the criteria activating the trigger are spelled out in the policy. These triggers vary by state and insurer and usually apply when the National Weather Service (NWS) officially declares a storm to be a hurricane. Call us at 401-846-9629 to learn exactly how your particular hurricane deductible works.
- If you are a renter, get renters insurance. Renters insurance will provide coverage for your personal belongings, as well cover the cost of additional living expenses if your rental property is destroyed by a hurricane or other insured disaster. Renters should also consider purchasing flood insurance.
- Create A Home Inventory
A home inventory is a list of your personal possessions together with information about their estimated financial value. The I.I.I.'s Know Your Stuff– Home Inventory software and mobile app make creating a home inventory simple and easy. An updated home inventory will make filing a claim, applying for disaster aid or substantiating financial losses for tax purposes simpler should a disaster strike. And, of course, an up-to-date home inventory helps you to purchase the right amount of insurance.
- Have An Evacuation Plan In Place
Know where you will go, and what you will take, if authorities tell you to evacuate. View this video for quick reference and also see our post on Evacuation Planning For Your Family & Pets.
- Protect Your Property
Hurricane-proof your home by keeping wind and water out; secure roof shingles and seal any openings, cracks or holes. We recommend the I.I.I.'s Know Your Plan App as a helpful checklist / preparation tool.

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), in partnership with the Illinois Center for Transportation and Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, is introducing the Traffic Incident Management Training Program.
The online course is offered for all disciplines involved in incident management, and provides responders with information to improve their safety at incident scenes.
"The online program is designed for emergency responders, including transportation workers, police, fire and towing and recovery crews," said Ryan Fries, associate professor and graduate program director in the Department of Civil Engineering within SIUE's School of Engineering. "We have spent the past five years accumulating the research to make this program come to life and be highly effective."
The program includes the new online course and a multi-agency in-class session. The online training includes 11 modules, each lasting between 15 and 30 minutes, to allow responders to view a whole module in one sitting.
Each module is narrated by an expert in the field and includes a wide variety of perspectives. The in-class session runs a half-day, and is equivalent to the National Traffic Incident Management Training (TIM) offered by the Federal Highway Administration, but focuses on laws and responders in Illinois.
In addition to improving safety at incident sites, the trainings are expected to improve communication, coordination and cooperation between all emergency responders throughout the state.
To register online for the training, visit http://www.ildottraining.org/ and include "TIM" next to your first name. For more information about the TIM Training Program, contact Geno Koehler at (217) 782-7328.

Go with the Flow by Daniela Ruah Olsen
Before we got pregnant the first time I knew what I wanted pregnancy to be like. I imagined how I wanted to give birth and how I would breastfeed for at least a year. No, I'm not a control freak. I was just deeply unaware that things don't happen the way they do in movies. Nature made the decisions and all I could do was go with the flow (not an easy task).
My husband proposed on a Dec 31st and our son River was born a year later. My water broke at 37 weeks and I was given Pitocin to induce the contractions I wasn't having. After 19hrs of labor, our first love was finally in our arms! It took a few days for breastfeeding to become second nature to us, but once it happened it was a breeze. All I had to do was squish my boob into the "shape of a taco" and pull my little guy's face into it. Or hold him like a football, as they say. Simple right? It was an incredible sensation that I thought would last for as long as we wanted. Wrong.
When River was 5 months old, I married David (I still smile at the memories). Around that time, my milk supply began to drop and we had no choice but to supplement with formula. I was so sad that I wasn't his primary source of nutrition anymore. Also, the idea of feeding him processed milk broke my heart, so I researched for days until I found the "cleanest" organic formula on the market. I had also read that a baby's taste for different foods stemmed from breast milk, so I became paranoid that my kid wouldn't accept a varied diet in the future.
Until my daughter was born, I blamed my drop in milk supply on the stress of planning a wedding and everything that that brings. I was so convinced that this time around I would make it to a year. I mean, so much about Sierra's story was different; she was breach, I birthed her without drugs, she latched on immediately, she was a little bigger than her brother, and this time there was no wedding to create stress and mess with my body. I even continued to breastfeed through Mastitis the first week she was born. My temperature went to 104F and I felt like crap, but that couldn't stop me. I felt both empowered and needed while breastfeeding, so when my milk plummeted AGAIN at 5 months it shook my self-esteem. From one day to the next I went from pumping 8oz in one sitting to struggling to get 2oz! I tried every supplement I could get my hands on. Teas, all sorts of grain bars and cookies made for breastfeeding moms, drinking dark beer, drinking tons of water, making sure I was ingesting enough calories, not working out too much and even meditating and telling my body to produce more milk. The one thing I found difficult to control was a set schedule and sleep.Nothing seemed to bring up my supply. I was scrambling and punishing myself for falling short. All I could think of were stories I had read about adoptive mothers who had stimulated their breasts to the point of lactating, even though they hadn't given birth, so why couldn't I? One of my good friends had her baby a few months before Sierra was born and fortunately for us both she produced A LOT of milk. In fact, she had plenty stored to spare. She offered it to me and I refused… at first. I was in an awfully negative headspace so all I could think of was that I wasn't fulfilling my job as a mother and I was hard on myself. I felt inadequate at my inability to satiate my baby.
Here's the thing; I was being a good mom, a great mom actually. I was doing everything in my power to nourish my kids. I was given the gift of breast milk from an amazing friend that I finally accepted and felt so grateful for. I have a wonderful and unbreakable bond with both my children and they love such a variety of foods. I mean, they eat everything. Above all, they are healthy and smart. Nature dictated that my water should break at 37 weeks… both times, and that my milk supply should diminish at 5 months… both times. I had no choice but to go with the flow. Though it was an emotional rollercoaster, at the end of the day my ultimate goals for my kids were exceeded. I'm a very happy mama.
*a note from YZM:
Just a reminder that we all have different experiences with breastfeeding. If you are having trouble, we would suggest contacting a lactation consultant. If you need help finding someone in your area, lalecheleague.org is a wonderful resource.
