Prevalence of albuminuria and associated cardiovascular risk factors: A community cohort in Namwon City, Korea
ABSTRACT To document the prevalence of albuminuria and determine its relationship to risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) among Korean adults.
We performed a cross-sectional study of adults aged 45-74 years from Namwon City, South Korea. Albuminuria was defined as a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR)≥30mg/g. The values of UACR were categorized into 5 groups: <10, 10-19, 20-29, 30-299, and ≥300mg/g. Risk factors for CVD and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were analyzed for an association with UACR values.
Data were obtained from 10,534 participants (4140 men and 6394 women). Albuminuria was more prevalent among women than men (27.3% versus 22.7%, respectively, p<0.001), and it was also more prevalent among older participants (p<0.001). The prevalence of albuminuria was 36.3% among participants with hypertension or type 2 diabetes, and it was 16.6% among participants without these conditions. The UACR was positively associated with CVD risk factors, including blood pressure, obesity indexes, total cholesterol, and the eGFR.
The prevalence of albuminuria is high in the general population in Korea, even among Koreans without CVD risk factors. Lower UACR values are associated with reduced CVD risk factors.

ABSTRACT: These two cohorts were designed to examine the increasing burden of chronic diseases among Korean populations. The studies investigated determinants for stroke, osteoporosis, dementia and cancer among middle-aged and elderly Korean populations. The Namwon Study baseline survey was performed between 2004 and 2007 (n = 10 667), and followed up 4 years later (n = 8157, follow-up rate = 76.5%). The baseline survey of the Dong-gu Study was administered over 2007-2010 (n = 9260), and will be followed up between 2014 and 2015. Questionnaires included assessment of cognitive function, psychiatric health and lifestyle factors. Clinical examinations, biochemical tests and genotyping focused on evaluating the determinants of target diseases and their intermediate phenotypes. Potential collaborators will be invited to contact the chief investigators.International Journal of Epidemiology 03/2013; 43(2). DOI:10.1093/ije/dys244 · 9.20 Impact Factor
Article: Prediabetes is not independently associated with microalbuminuria in Korean general population: The Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011-2012 (KNHANES V-2,3)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We investigated the association between microalbuminuria and prediabetes in Korean population using data from the KNHANES 2011-2012. Prevalence of microalbuminuria was significantly increased in prediabetes group. However, the odds ratio became insignificant after adjustment for blood pressure, and the prevalence of microalbuminuria was not increased in prediabetic subjects without hypertension.Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice 09/2014; 106(2).

Article: A Disease Modification Effect of APOE E4 on the Association between Urinary Albumin Excretion and Cognition in Korean Adults[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background. No previous study examined a disease modifying effect of APOE E4 status on the association between the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) and cognition. This study aimed to investigate whether APOE E4 modified the association in Korean adults. Methods. We performed a cross-sectional study in adults aged 45 to 74 who were living in Namwon City, Republic of Korea. Cognitive function was measured with the Korean version of modified Mini-Mental State Examination (K-mMMSE) and cognitive impairment was defined as scores falling below the 25th percentile of the K-mMMSE according to age, sex, and educational attainments. Results. A total of 10,190 participants (4006 men and 6184 women) were analyzed in the present study. Of these, 1698 subjects (16.7%) were APOE E4 carriers. The UACR values were negatively associated with the K-mMMSE scores, even after adjusting for potential confounders including age, sex, education, and vascular risk factors. APOE E4 modified the association significantly, resulting in a steeper decline of cognitive function with the increase in UACR in E4 carriers (P for interaction = 0.021). Conclusion. Higher UACR values were significantly associated with cognitive dysfunction in the general Korean population, with cognition in APOE E4 carriers being more severely affected by increased UACR.Disease markers 10/2014; 2014:724281.

Glum Britney Spears looks downcast amid reports she 'is to be fired as a judge on The X Factor USA after just one season'
Her eyes downcast, a glum expression on her face, Britney Spears certainly doesn't look full of the joy of the season.
And with good reason.
As the pop star headed out for lunch on Thursday it was being reported that Simon Cowell was planning to drop her from the X Factor.
Feeling glum? A downcast Britney Spears heads out with her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James as news broke that she has been 'dropped from the X Factor'
After the X Factor USA finale
actually lost viewers, there was always going to be at least one head on
the block and it appears that this time, it belongs to Britney.
Cowell, 53, is allegedly ready to fire the 31-year-old pop legend because he wanted 'crazy Britney, but he got boring Britney.'
If it happens, this will mean the mother-of-two only lasted on the judges panel for one season... though it was an incredibly lucrative one.
Boring? Britney is apparently being dropped because Cowell 'wanted crazy Britney but got boring Britney'
The report in Us Weekly points out that Brit's $15M contract had a lot to do with Cowell's decision, with one insider telling the publication: 'They paid all that for her to say 'amazing' and offer half-claps.'
Another mole confirmed: 'Britney will get the boot. Producers wanted her for the long haul, but it isn't working.'
Simon intimated to E! that he'd have Britney back despite telling them
he's 'pro change,' he told them: 'I don't know yet, to be honest with
you. I haven't had the conversation with her whether she'd want to, what
other commitments she's got.'
Fellow judge L.A. Reid - who has twice been a judge - already announced his departure to focus on his record label.
Family day: The singer's fiance Jason Trawick, right and her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James were with her
Midas-alike Cowell has struggled to translate his golden touch into success for the US version of the smash hit British show since it debuted across the Atlantic in the autumn of 2011.
After the initial disappointing season, Cowell fired judges Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger and host Steve Jones in January.
He then went all out to get a big name signing; and nobody could argue with Britney's pedigree when she signed on the dotted line for the svengali.
Time to go? It's being reported that Britney Spears is set to be fired as an X Factor USA judge by Simon Cowell
Not only is she one of the biggest
pop stars in the world; but her soap opera past lends the blonde an
inherent fascination lacking in other stars.
But sadly that never translated into her on-screen presence, and Cowell's coup became a damp squib.
The blonde flubbed lines and often seemed disconnected from the the show's narrative.
The December 20 second season finale was watched by only 9.6 million viewers, down 18 percent from the first season finale.
spokesperson for The X Factor told Mail Online: 'No-one has discussed

Human/Horse Connection Photo Contest
The bond between humans and horses is as old as time. The Greeks envisioned the Centaur--half man-half horse— with both species melding into one. In my "New adult" novel, The Cowgirl Jumped Over the Moon, Gemcie strives to achieve balance and harmony with her horses movements in her reach for the perfect ride. I am offering a $25. Amazon voucher and a copy of Cowgirl to the best photo illustrating the horse-human connection.Please post your entry on Cowgirls page on FB. I would love for you to comment/like other photos entries that you see on the page. You may even want to share it with your horse loving friends. Cowgirl Jumped Over the Moon is more than a horse story, but without the bond between horse and rider there would be no story to tell.

Wai-nani is Available on Audible.com!!
Sign on to my blog to enter contest to win a free download of Audio Book in exchange for honest review.
I am very excited to announce that Wai-nani, A Voice from Old Hawai'i is now available on Audible .So many friends have told me they don't have time to read, but that they love audio books. Christine Padovan, an award winning narrator on Audible.com, has done a superlative job capturing the nuances and poetry of the Hawaiian language in the telling of Wai-nani's story.
Wai-nani transports you into the wild heart old Hawai'i when Captain Cook stepped upon the shores of Kealakekua Bay in 1779. In the writing I tried to capture the romance of the time by weaving legends and myths, fabled history, and an evocative love story into a poetic rendering of the "People of Old." Lavish images of the Islands splash the page as you tread inside the mysterious Polynesian culture. Hawai'i's story is told through the eyes of Wai-nani, a fiercely passionate, free-spirited woman.
One of the challenges in writing this book was that I could not use any modern words that would snap the reader out of old Hawai'i and back into the 21st. Century. Christine uses classical Hawaiian pronunciations of Hawaiian words in her effort to be true to the time. I am thrilled with the outcome and hope you will take this seductive journey into the past that spans the most dynamic period in Hawaiian history.

Happy B-Day to Ka'ahumanu the woman who inspired my novel.
|Chiefess Ka'ahumanu
On March 17, 1768 (some say 1777) Ka'ahumanu was born in a cave at the fortress hill of Ka'uiki in Hana. The fierce Moi of Maui, once her mother's lover, became so enraged when she chose Ke'eamuoku over him that he set his warriors upon her parents. They chased them through
Haleakala Crater, but lost them in thick mountain
forests. While Ka'ahumanu was still a baby her parents fled from Hana to
Hawai'i where they lived in royal comfort. Wai-nani,A Voice from old Hawai'i my historical novel (1750-1819) is inspired by the
life of the precocious Chiefess Ka'ahumanu. To some she is remembered as the"
loving mother of the people" and to others she is the "flaw that brought down
the chiefdom."
|Ka'uiki in Hana
Brave, athletic, strong, passionate, caring and centered in herself, I saw her as a forerunner of the modern woman. It was a tremendous gift to be given the opportunity to visit the cave where she was born. It took the entire crew of six members of the Hana Canoe Club to paddle me to her birthplace. We pointed the tip of the outrigger into the oncoming waves that sloshed over the bow and paddled through the foaming surf to the protected shallow waters lapping at the lava rocks beneath the cave where she was born. I climbed the jagged black lava to a path that led to a large opening with two indentations big enough to accommodate a human. Her mother enjoyed a lovely view of Hana Bay and the green mountains floating on the horizon. Offerings of flowers were placed in front of the openings. Before leaving I floated in the waters at the foot of her cave considered to be healing by those who come here for sacred ceremonies.
Big Mahalo to friend and fellow author, Lorraine Brodek, for fulfilling my desire to visit the sacred birthplace of the woman that inspired my novel Wai-nani, A Voice from Old Hawai'i
Written With Warm Aloha
In the Name of Ka'ahumanu

The Gift of Understanding
|Pi'ilanihale-Hana, Maui
A rutted road in Hana, Maui leads to the site of Pi'ilanihale, the largest remaining heiau (temple of worship) in all of Polynesia. You must cross over a creek to get to the entrance of Kahanu Garden where the heiau was hidden from sight until 1999. It is hard to believe that this immense structure spanning three acres built of basalt rocks could be so overgrown with jungle foliage that it would go unnoticed until modern times. The side facing the sea rises steeply in five stepped terraces. Construction of the main terrace dates back to the 14th century when remote, water-rich Hana was heavily populated by Hawaiians.
|Lono -God of Agriculture
Our guide, also named Pi'ilani, one of 14 children in a blended Hawaiian family, explained that Lono, the god of fertility, was worshipped here for agricultural bounty. She said, the Hawaiians were so embarrassed about the paganism in their past that they let the heiau become overgrown. They may have also wanted to spare it from being demolished like so many of the ancient sites were at the behest of missionaries who prohibited hula, surfing, and even the language in schools in the 1800's. Perhaps, the gods did not want this structure trampled upon by disrespectful tourists. Regardless of why it was hidden from time, the people of Hana cut back lush jungle foliage that threatened to swallow the edifice fifteen years ago, revealing a monument to a race of industrious, ingenious and loving people.
Kahanu Garden where the Pi'ilanihale is located is a flat expanse of green overlooking a tempestuous Pacific Ocean crashing on black lava cliffs. It was a landing place of early Polynesian settlers bringing plants they would need to survive. It was chosen by the ancients to be the site of the Makahiki Festival that ran for four months from November to February. Warring was forbidden as this time of peace that allowed warriors to practice skills with contests and games. Elders played Konana, a form of checkers, and talked story while children frolicked. The tax collectors came around at this time collecting the bounty of the common people to be given to the royal class.
Chief Pi'ilani, who ruled here in the 16th century was beloved by his people for uniting the warring tribes of Maui and bringing prosperity in his reign. Under his rule the Pi'ilanihale (House of Pi'ilani) Heiau that began construction in the 1200's was completed. Rocks from as far away as Hana Bay, seven miles away, were used to finish the task.
Wandering the grounds that boasts the largest collection of breadfruit trees in the world, as well as samplings of all of the indigenous plants brought by early settlers in double-hulled canoes, you can imagine the joyous village that thrived here under Chief Pi'ilani's rule. Our guide, Pi'ilani, talked to us about the many uses of the kukui nut used to keep the fires burning at night. She said the day began in the evening when the work was done and people came to share what they had gathered that day in their fish nets, in their taro gardens, and fruits from the mountain trees.
|Linda, Lorraine, and Pi'ilani
Pi'ilani generously answered all of my questions about the realities of the people of old. At the end of our tour she told me she wanted to empower me with the gift of her knowledge. Instead of correcting or judging my tale of her ancestry in my novel Wai-nani, A Voice from Old Hawai'i, she told me that she understood that my work was built on what I knew. She said that she would be happy to add her knowledge, as it was handed down to her, to my pool of understanding. We held hands while as she invited us to join her in a chant to the gods who reside at Pi'ilanihale and give thanks for the bounty of the Kahanu Garden, a gift to all who find their way there.A big mahalo to my friend Lorraine Brodek, author of Nobody in a Somebody who resides in Hana, for making this very special tour possible for me.

Postcard from Paradise
When fellow author, Lorraine Brodek, invited me to stay at her exquisite home high on a knoll in Hana, Maui, I had no idea what a treat it would be. Sipping coffee on the lanai overlooking a dew-laden expanse of emerald green, and the shining Pacific in the distance, watching a Technicolor sunrise, I couldn't imagine a more idyllic setting.
My friends not only designed this custom (3,650 sq. ft.) home, and built the mile long road to it, they planted the ten acre estate with every tropical plant imaginable. I strolled the grounds, a veritable Botanical Garden, with Lorraine to her artist's studio with views that would inspire anyone with a creative bone in their body. Her producer husband, Tom, was busy in his work shop next to the three car garage. She pointed out that the foundation for a guest house is already in place and that a lot split is possible. (Buyer to verify)
Lorraine arranged a canoe ride for us in Hana Bay to the birthplace of Ka'ahumanu who was the inspiration for my novel Wai-nani, AVoice from Old Hawai'i and a visit to nearby Kahanu Garden where the largest heiau in Polynesia remains hidden from time. Hiking, horseback riding and "pasture" golf are favorite pass-times of locals, and visitors on day trips.
A dip in the delicious waters of Hamoa Beach, a mile below the house, where soft foaming waves kiss a sandy shore capped off another glorious day in paradise.
A daily flight from Kahului, Maui to Hana makes Hana, the last bastion of old Hawai'i, accessible.
The home is for sale for $2,995,000. A small price to pay for paradise.

A Dreamy Year in Review
2014 brought all manner of good things my way. My journey with New England Hiking Holidays in the Columbia Gorge and into the Mt. Hood region of Oregon ranks very high on my not to missed adventures. In Get some Forest in your Boots I share highlights.
From there I drove to the coast of Oregon where I explored trails on my own. The Oswald Park below Cannon Beach was my favorite hike but, If You're Looking for a Cozy, Friendly Community, With Mammoth Trees, Walking Trails and Whale Sitings, You Won't Want to Miss Yachats — Gem of Oregon's Central Coast.
December found me in the Hawaiian Islands linking up with two local authors to form the Aloha Trio.arranged for me to canoe to the birthplace of Ka'ahumanu, the powerful woman in Old Hawai'i, that inspired my novel.
Watching my life unfold in ways I had never dreamed of is quite magical.
Happy New Year!!!
Cheers, Linda

WHITTIER, Calif., Jan. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCUHS) is proud to announce its participation in the first ever VA chiropractic residency training program. On December 6, 2013, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) unveiled its plan to initiate a pioneering chiropractic residency program beginning in July, 2014.
The focus of each VA residency program is Integrated Clinical Practice, with training that will emphasize the provision of chiropractic care as an important part of an integrated healthcare system. These hospital-based training programs will also expand each resident's ability to collaborate with other healthcare professionals through interdisciplinary rotations. Residents will develop their knowledge of hospital practice, policies and procedures, and will be better prepared for future positions in VA, other healthcare systems, and/or academic settings.
After a highly competitive application process, only five VA medical centers and four academic affiliates were chosen nationwide to pilot this program. Several competing VA medical centers and academic institutions attempted to earn this distinction and as one of the four chosen academic affiliates, Southern California University is honored to partner with the well-known and well-respected VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System (VAGLAHS).
"To our delight, today's healthcare environment continues to moves towards interdisciplinary practice and team care," said Dr. Melissa Nagare Kimura, Chief Clinical Officer and Associate Vice President for SCU Health System. "SCU prides itself in cultivating an environment of evidence-informed inter-professional education and practice, and this is just one reason why the university is thrilled to be a part of such an innovative program."
This new residency will provide advanced clinical training in complex case management, allowing recent chiropractic graduates to increase their scope and depth of clinical knowledge, experience and acumen. Residents will be mentored by senior VA chiropractors who are national leaders in integrated chiropractic practice. These clinicians will share their expertise in patient care, academics and research to provide a robust educational experience.
According to Dr. John Scaringe, President of Southern California University of Health Sciences, "This is not only exciting news for SCU, but also for chiropractic doctors and students nationwide. This opportunity, created by the Department of Veterans Affairs, shows that the VA embraces chiropractic as a specialty and should be viewed as a pioneering effort. Everyone at SCU could not be more pleased to be a part of this program launch and could not be more honored to be working as the academic affiliate for the distinguished VA Greater Los Angeles Health Care System."
The programs will be administered nationally by VA's Office of Academic Affiliations and locally by each individual participating VA facility. Each VA facility partners with its affiliated Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE) accredited chiropractic school in conducting the program.
The partnerships are as follows:
VA Facility
Academic Affiliate
VA Connecticut Healthcare System
West Haven, CT
University of Bridgeport
VA Western New York Healthcare System
Buffalo, NY
New York Chiropractic College
Canandaigua VA Medical Center Canandaigua, NY
New York Chiropractic College
VA St. Louis Healthcare System
St. Louis, MO
Logan University
VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System Los Angeles, CA
Southern California University of Health Sciences
Training will take place at individual VA facilities, and may also include other sites such as the chiropractic school or other affiliated locations.
Programs will be open to applicants who hold a DC degree from a CCE-accredited program. Applicants must have a current, full, active, and unrestricted chiropractic license in a State, Territory or Commonwealth of the United States, or in the District of Columbia, or be eligible for such licensure. Applicants must meet all VA employment requirements including United States citizenship, and Selective Service registration when applicable.
Selection is through a competitive process considering factors such as chiropractic college transcripts, additional professional experiences, letters of recommendation, telephone and/or on-site interviews.
Detailed application information will be provided by each program in January 2014.
For over a century, SCU has trained men and women for successful and significant careers in patient care. SCU is located on a beautiful 25-acre campus located in Whittier, California, about 20 miles Southeast of Los Angeles and on the border of Orange County. Students enjoy a quiet suburban atmosphere and the advantages of being near a large city. The school offers a dual degree program in Chiropractic and Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine and was one of the first to be accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE) and the only dual program accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). SCU offers a Diagnostic Imaging residency program, a Chiropractic Sports Medicine residency program, a Primary Spine Care Practitioner residency program, and is also the only school of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine to offer an on-campus anatomy lab, radiology lab and extensive hands-on experience.

Overgrown applications have given way to modular applications, driven by the need to break larger problems into smaller problems. Similarly large monolithic development processes have been forced to be broken into smaller agile development cycles. Looking at trends in software development, microservices architectures meet the same demands.

February 1, 2015 - Love the size of this bag. Needed it for all kinds of things and can think of 100 more uses! Great to carry my shoes back and forth to work in this winter weather. I put my shows in a plastic bag, throw in other items needed for the day and off I go! Love the paw print decorations!
January 10, 2015 - I really like this bag. It is nicely made. I have the single paw print. I had jury duty this week and I loaded it up with so many items to keep me busy. It worked great. Love the zipper to keep everything secure. I will be using this a lot.
January 10, 2015 - I love this! I purchased the single paw one and couldn't be happier. Excellent quality, perfect size, and great for any occasion...work or doing errands. Highly recommend!!
January 9, 2015 - Terrific bag! Nice material, plenty of room for my book, water bottle and lunch, and the straps are the perfect length. Highly recommend!! (PS: bought as a gift but liked so much I kept for myself!)

Of course, as parents, we have a certain amount of control in shaping some of their habits and personalities, but we have come to understand that these "children" are complex and intricate people who are complicated in many different ways. It is the time we have spent with them, that has allowed us to see who they really are. It is a magnificent gift, actually.

They also have a statue of Juliet there and it is said to be good luck if you rub her right breast... So of course I had to do it. Although we were only there for a few hours it seemed like a beautiful place. Lots of little alleyways to explore and huge markets with delicious fruit cups!!! Yum ...

Privileged: Pilot (series premiere)
by Paul Goebel, posted Sep 9th 2008 10:23PM
(S01E01) In the first five minutes of this show, viewers are treated to a visual definition of the phrase "fish out of water."
I generally don't like any comedy that starts out with the the main character losing everything and starting her life all over again. In a drama, it kind of works that the hero has to go from town to town searching for something she lost. In a comedy, it just means that we'll be spending the next half hour watching the hero say things like, "What did I get myself into?"

First Direct Observations of Spinons and Holons
The theory has been around for more than 40 years, but only now has it been confirmed through direct and unambiguous experimental results. Working at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) of the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, a team of researchers has observed the theoretical prediction of electron "spin-charge separation" in a one-dimensional solid. These results hold implications for future developments in several key areas of advanced technology, including high-temperature superconductors, nanowires and spintronics.

everything really nice
Nice experience.Close to city center
La residenza è situata in un quartiere piacevolissimo a due passi da Merulana-San Clemente-Colosseo in una suggestiva palazzina. Dania è una padrona di casa discreta, cordiale e disponibile. Grazie di tutto!
The reservation was canceled 8 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
Chambre sympa dans un appartement bien situé.
Cependant il faut bien préciser dans quelle chambre vous souhaitez être car toutes les chambres ne se valent pas (tarifs en fonction).
Dommage que le petit déjeuner ne soit pas plus copieux : un bon pour un croissant et une boisson chaude au café du coin.
iT'S UP TO THE GUEST TO ENQUIRE WICH ROOM THEY WANT, ESPECIALLY SINCE IS VERY CLEAR THAT THE PRICES are all ''starting from'' so usually eweriwhere that indicates the cheapest one, not the most expensive, wich is of course the ensuite with the private bathroom. As I explain to you in ITALY, we are not allowed to serve food that is prepared by us, unless we have a special license for it, usually every B&Bserve prepacked bread, with a small jam and a small butter, I prefer to give the opportunity to have the breakafast in a cafè like we do in Italy. If you want to stuff yourself at breakfast is not my fault

Highlighting mine. By the time the officers arrived, the shooting was over. there is nothing they could have done to prevent this terrible event.
The shooting call came in at 7:10 p.m. The first officer arrived about 90 seconds later, he said. "It just started raining police," Brimmer said.
Once four or five officers arrived, they went in, he said. By then, the shooting had stopped.

Baze Collects Two Wins in Rain Sunday
Jockey Russell Baze won the first two races on the Bay Meadows program Nov. 26 but missed out with four mounts on the back end of the card and remained three wins shy of setting the all-time record for career riding victories.Sunday's racing was plagued by heavy rainfall. The track was rated wet fast at the start of the day but changed to sloppy prior to the sixth race.Both of Baze's wins Sunday came aboard horses trained by Jerry Hollendorfer.Baze will be off Monday and Tuesday but returns with six more rides Wednesday, six on Thursday and seven on Friday – all at Bay Meadows – as he closes in on Laffit Pincay Jr.'s all-time record of 9,530. Baze stood at 9,528 at the conclusion of Sunday's racing.Wednesday, Baze is named to ride Where's My Halo (9-to-5 on the morning line) in the second race, Smokin Forest (7-to-2) in the third, Silveradoro (3-to-1) in the fourth, Au Natural (3-to-1) in the fifth, Lugano (9-to-5) in the seventh, and Sylvan Hill (7-to-5) in the eighth.The 48-year-old Baze won the opener Sunday, leading from start to finish by one-half length aboard the tiring Playing 'r Song ($5), the second choice in the $5,000 claiming event. He won the second race in quite the opposite manner, bringing 5-2 second choice Candi's Double ($7.40) from far off the pace in a $4,000 claiming event for a three-quarters of a length triumph.Baze returned in the sixth race with an off-the-board finish on 7-1 shot Working Good. He came home third in the seventh race astride 11-10 favorite Sea Harbor. In the eighth, Baze rode 3-2 choice Marathon Mom to a second-place showing, while in the nightcap, his 9-5 elect Iza Big Star struggled home fourth.(Chart, Equibase)

The "Raoul" Defense
In his defense, Ray used the name of a man named "Raoul," who he claimed instructed him to purchase the rifle used to kill King and to rent a room at the boarding house in Memphis, where a gun-running scheme was allegedly planned. The committee determined Ray's story was flawed as there were no witnesses to corroborate "Raoul's" existence and no explanation for why the alleged ringleader's fingerprints weren't on the murder weapon.

CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is in his "best moment" since undergoing cancer surgery in Cuba 45 days ago, the vice president said on Saturday, adding Chavez has made important economic decisions to strengthen exports.
"He's got a smile that's filled with light, his thoughts are illuminated," said Nicolas Maduro in televised comments just after midnight after returning from a visit with Chavez.
The normally garrulous president has not been heard from since a complex operation on December 11. Official statements in recent weeks have sounded upbeat about his condition following rumors that he is gravely ill.
The communication minister on Saturday is scheduled to provide more details about Chavez's condition and treatment.
Maduro's comments about economic policy come amid widespread speculation that Venezuela is preparing a devaluation of the bolivar currency that would improve state finances by providing more bolivars per dollar of oil exports.
Devaluing would make exports more competitive by lowering local production costs, and spur domestic industries by making imports less competitive with respect to local goods.
"We're going to develop our economy's capacity to export," Maduro said.
Business leaders have for weeks said a devaluation is necessary to ease periodic product shortages that have resulted from a scarcity of dollars.

Workers consider job options
Downer tells of opportunities for Infracon staffKELSEY WILKIE
Relevant offers
They sat with their arms crossed as the company that was once their opposition tried to recruit them.
Uncertainty was painted on each face. Many in the room had worked for the same company for 10 years and were now faced with the possibility of having to move elsewhere.
Anaru Woolley, 22, worked as a labourer for Infracon for five years.
He was told on Monday that he no longer had a job. "I don't really know what's going on. All I know is I lost my job and I need to find a new one."
Having a year-old daughter makes the uncertainty around work even harder and has "put a strain on things".
A Christchurch-based company offering work and perks had caught his eye. "I'll just have to go where the work is. You just have to take what opportunities you can, I suppose."
Downer staff spoke of job opportunities, but could not confirm any numbers.
After Infracon went into liquidation, some still have jobs, for now. They work day to day, waiting to hear if they will be signed to a liquidator's agreement.
Rickie Payne and Lisa King were at the seminar "just in case". They have kept their jobs.
King works as a labourer, cleaning the streets and emptying the rubbish bins. "It all has to get done, but for how long I don't know."
She drives from Palmerston North to Woodville every day for work.She knows there is a chance she will be told to turn back around.
Tararua District Mayor Roly Ellis said the parks and reserves work would either be put up for tender or brought in-house.
He could not give a time frame.
Payne, who works as a mechanic for the company, said the hardest part about the whole thing was the sudden absence of his mates. "You miss a lot of the staff that aren't there."
It is nothing new to him. Five companies Payne has worked for have gone under. All you can do is move on, he says. But this one has been particularly tough.
"It's a bit harder now because I'm 56. I was a lot younger then. It sort of affects your heart . . . how you feel.
"It makes the day longer, harder to get motivated, to get started."
He has always managed to find work and isn't opposed to moving.
Move on and hope for the best, he says.
"Nothing else you can do."

Dominican Republic authorities were preparing on Wednesday to deport thousands of undocumented Haitian migrants and Dominicans of Haitian descent, with a midnight deadline to register for official residency documents.
"If they aren't registered, they will be repatriated," said Gen. Rubén Paulino, who heads the country's Immigration Department, adding that on Thursday the department and the military will begin patrolling neighborhoods with large immigrant populations.

New anti-malaria drug developed at Dundee University
Researchers at Dundee University have discovered a new compound which could treat malaria while protecting people from the disease and preventing its spread, all in a single dose.
The compound, DDD107498, was developed by the university's Drug Discovery Unit and the Medicines for Malaria Venture.
Scientists said the "exciting" new drug could work well against parasites resistant to current treatments. Details of the discovery have been published in the journal Nature.
DDT Exposure During Pregnancy Linked To Breast Cancer
Women who had been exposed to higher levels of the pesticide DDT while in utero face increased risk of breast cancer later in life than those who were exposed to lower levels, according to new research.
Researchers evaluated 54 years of data from women starting from the time they were in utero. Out of 9,300 women who had been tracked from even before birth, the study authors identified 118 women who had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Women whose mothers had been exposed to significant levels of DDT during pregnancy were four times as likely to have had breast cancer as their counterparts who had been exposed to a small quantity of the pesticide, according to the findings.
Military knew about bizarre methods of doctor hired to train troops
For years, a doctor now accused of performing macabre procedures on the troops that he trained took steps to cloak his battlefield-medicine classes in secrecy. The doctor, John Henry Hagmann, often required that those who took or helped teach his courses sign non-disclosure agreements.
The agreements may have helped ensure that his most extreme training methods – including allegedly inducing shock among students – would remain confidential.
Wal-Mart Using Secret Foreign Tax Havens
A groundbreaking report released Wednesday, June 17, by Americans for Tax Fairness (ATF) reveals that Walmart has built a vast, undisclosed network of 78 subsidiaries and branches in 15 overseas tax havens, which may be used to minimize foreign taxes where it has retail operations and to avoid U.S. tax on those foreign earnings.
These secretive subsidiaries have never been subject to public scrutiny before. They have remained largely invisible, in part because Walmart fails to list them in its annual 10-K filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Walmart's preferred tax haven is Luxembourg, dubbed a "magical fairyland" for corporations looking to shelter profits from taxation.
U.S. House mulls arctic drilling
Drilling offshore, particularly in arctic regions offshore Alaska, won't do much to wean the United States off foreign oil, a U.S. House committee heard.
A House subcommittee on energy resources held an oversight hearing on reserves thought to be in arctic waters and how they could potentially impact U.S. leverage overseas. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said in early June that moving more domestic oil to the global market could "strengthen the strategic hand of the United States."
Saudi-led strikes on Yemen convoy kill 31 civilians
Saudi-led airstrikes hit a convoy of civilians fleeing violence in southern Yemen on Wednesday, killing at least 31 people, medical officials said, making it among the deadliest single attacks since the air campaign against Shia rebels and their allies began nearly three months ago.
The two airstrikes hit a convoy of vehicles loaded with civilians, including women and children, who were fleeing north from the southern city of Aden, which has seen intense clashes in recent months.
Gillibrand says Obama failed to stop rape in military's ranks after Senate blocked her bill
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand said President Obama broke a promise and failed to act to stop rape in the military's ranks in pointed remarks Tuesday after the Senate blocked her bill overhauling the services' handling of sexual assault.
"I expect more leadership," she said. "And I am hopeful for more leadership from the President. The Pentagon is failing in the mission," she said earlier. "Our Commander-in-Chief is failing in the mission.
Arizona doctors won't have to say abortions can be reversed
Arizona's attorney general won't enforce a disputed section of a new law requiring abortion providers to tell women they can reverse drug-induced abortions until the matter can be sorted in court.
The decision made public Tuesday comes as the state prepares to defend itself in a lawsuit filed by abortion providers.
Critics have said there's no science that shows drug-induced abortions can be reversed, and abortion providers argue it's unconstitutional to require doctors to say something that goes against their medical judgment.

BEFORE RAP, THERE WAS…Tony Adamo: Miles of Blu
CD Review/Miles of Blu/Jazz Weekly
You think rap (did I ever tell you the perfect radio station for it? K-RAP?) was the first music to offer the street scene? Forget it! Guys like Tony Adamo, and before him, Gil Scott-Heron tell BETTER stories, with a BETTER rhyme and with FAR BETTER musicians. Adamo on this disc celebrates the vibe, the attitude and the stars of the jazz scene on this disc with heavy hitters like Mike Clark/dr, Tim Ouimette/brass, Steve Homan/g and other cats with a rubber neck. His own tunes have a funky feel, and like the best street preachers, he tells the story like he means it. Homages to James Brown and Miles Davis sound right on the mark with Adamo dodging and ducking the lyrics like Floyd Patterson, and while the "America R We Free" tells me that Adamo could use a few economic books by Thomas Sowell, his streetwise readings of a couple Tower of Power tunes, particularly "Soul Vaccination" is a perfect update of a similar attitude.

North Shore Medical Labs, Inc.

The protesters contend that the agency lacks a reasonable basis for the cancellation and that the agency should instead have amended the solicitation, held discussions and requested revised proposals.
We deny the protests.
