Neuropharm Group plc Release: Appointment of President US Operations
Published: Feb 26, 2008
Bob's appointment marks an important step in Neuropharm's strategy of developing a specialised sales and marketing team in the US ahead of the US launch of NPL-2008, the Company's novel autism treatment, which is on track for regulatory filing in the US in Q4 2008.
Bob has more than 17 years' experience in the pharmaceutical industry and has held management positions at companies including Johnson & Johnson, Abbott Laboratories and Merck & Co. Prior to joining Neuropharm he was Head of Worldwide Immunology New Business Development, and a Management Board member, at Centocor Inc, a Johnson & Johnson subsidiary.
Bob has significant experience of new product launches, sales and marketing. For four years he was Vice President of Centocor's rheumatology franchise, where he was responsible for the US sales and marketing of REMICADE®, a biologic agent targeting immunology conditions. Under his leadership, the franchise doubled sales to $1.6 billion per annum.
Neuropharm intends to open an East Coast office during 2008. The Company is able to adopt the strategy of selling NPL-2008 itself in the US because the product will be promoted to the US network of autism specialists.
Commenting on this announcement, Robert Mansfield, Neuropharm's Chief Executive Officer, said: "I am delighted to welcome Bob to Neuropharm and to the new role of President US Operations. His appointment is a key step in the delivery of our strategy in the US, where we intend to market our products, once approved, through our own sales force.
"It is a reflection of the importance of our lead programme in autism that we have been able to attract an executive of Bob's calibre and experience to lead our US presence. We look forward to working with him."
Bob Prachar, Neuropharm's President US Operations, added: "I'm tremendously excited to join the team at Neuropharm and to have the opportunity to launch and market NPL-2008 in the US. Autism is a complex condition with increasing diagnosis rates and high unmet need. I'm passionate about offering new hope to this community and believe NPL-2008 has the potential to make a huge difference in the lives of autism patients, their families and caregivers. Through our commitment to making a difference, we expect to deliver significant commercial value and build a leading presence in neurodevelopmental disorders."

Biblical Sound Bites can be detrimental to your life

During my subconscious daily tasks of getting ready God laid in my spirit a topic of discussion, Biblical sound bites. While brushing my teeth as well as showering I meditated and analyzed these words to gain a broader perspective. The secular world provides a true definition; Sound bites are short speeches usually used on radio or television as part of a news story. Often during the rebroadcasting, common phrases are taken out of context simply because the entire message was not heard. When a statement is given by a politician, during an interview it is misconstrued when transmitted to the viewers. These snippets are perceived as the truth thus leading to an altered state of mind by constituents and non-constituents alike. Likewise Christians and part time Christians fall victim to biblical sound bites.
Biblically Christians , albeit babes in Christ, new followers or seasoned disciples fall in the same sound bite trap by taking scripture out of context. When sacred passages are twisted, it gives way to opinion and not fact and once we allow this concept to reach our mind we allow it to to become real or actual. It is during water cooler debates that conjured up theories come to life and never have we taken the time to hear (or read) the entire story to get the full perspective. Some theologians call this act �script hopping�, which is simply reading a passage and coming up with your own interpretation without reading the entire chapter. I have also heard many good Pastors say the best way to get an understanding of a particular passage is to read at lease two or three verses before and after to formulate a better understanding of God�s word.
Where am I going with this? There are many examples in the bible which illustrate text people use in their day to day journey and simply misquote the meaning. One verse that I believe is most often taken out of context as well as paraphrased is Psalms 37:4 �He will give you the desires of your heart. This passage is often quoted, used as affirmations, as well as the epitome to God answering prayers. However, by simply applying the two verses before and two verses after rule the reader would discover a deeper meaning.
Verse one tells us �do not fret of those who are evil or be envious�
Verse two �like grass they will wither�
Verse three �Trust in the Lord and do good�
Verse four � he will give you the desires of your heart �
Verse five �Commit your way to the Lord trust in him�
Verse six ...He will make your righteous reward shine.
Now, if you take time to read the six verses of Psalms 37 in their entirety one will realize that to get the desires of your heart there are several steps a Christian has to take. In most cases many of us are not applying any of the steps in our relationship with God the Father. We are doing the exact opposite:
1. We fret daily
2. we worry about how the evil ones prosper and you don�t
3. we don�t trust God fully
4. we don�t take delight in God (yet we ask for our desires)
5. we don�t commit our way to God nor trust in him
6. So how can he make your righteous shine when we have not applied any of the five aforementioned steps?
We all know of family, friends, and other Christians who use passages such as this as a catalyst to validate their desires yet becoming upset and often angry with God when he does not grant the prayer. �Lord I want this, I deserve that, why have I not received it yet!� Let us all be clear, David wrote and told us how God gave him his desires however it came with a prerequisite. Remember the true purpose of us even existing has nothing to do with getting the desires of our heart (more money, bigger house, better job, or other material things) but everything to do with serving and worshiping God daily.
Surrendering all to Jesus
All to Jesus I surrender; all to Him I freely give; I will ever love and trust Him, In His presence daily live. These words confirm what Jesus said �if any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his own cross and follow me� Luke 9:23. Judson W. Van DeVenter�s hymn, describes what we as believers must do daily; All to Jesus I surrender; humbly at His feet I bow, Worldly pleasures all forsaken; take me, Jesus, take me now. As students of the gospel, when we text hop and manipulate the verses to confirm to �our� understanding time and again we loose focus or do not identify God�s plan/purpose for us. God�s desire is for us to willingly and freely come to him and worship as this classic hymn renders. By surrendering, praising, giving honor, and glory unto his name makes him happy. In exchange of surrendering our will unto God we often get the desires that loiter around in our vivid imagination called the mind.
An excellent example of submitting oneself for the betterment of God verses self gratification is Solomon (read 1 Kings 3:1-15). During a time when Solomon was building a new temple and marrying Pharaoh�s daughter, he also had to deal with people and their shenanigans. In a dream, God came to Solomon and stated �Ask for whatever you want me to give you.� Now, if any one us would have experienced this, we would have asked for the desires of our heart; six figure income, cars, money, and longevity. Instead, Solomon first thanked God for his father David, continuing his kindness unto him and bestowing kingship even though Solomon was only a child. He asks God to �give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong.� The Lord was pleased that Solomon had not asked for long life or wealth for himself, nor asked for the death of his enemies so God blessed him based on what was asked. On the backside of seeking to please God, he gave Solomon things not ask for; �Moreover, I will give you what you have not asked for�both wealth and honor� This paints a great picture of what God can do if we surrender unto him, take time to study the word and continuously praise his Holy name!
I speak for myself and those who can relate. For years I lived upon the verse asking for the desires of my heart. When God didn�t deliver my �personal� wishes I became frustrated, bitter, enraged, and ultimately withdrawing from God. The battle became an all out war attempting to justify why God refuses to respond. In the midst of my struggle, I slowly realized my mind was inadequate to the majestic mind of God and my arms where too short to box. In the middle of my resistance I begin to seek God�s will oppose to mine.
The point I�m attempting to make today for those who are guilty of �text hopping�, and struggling with your relationship with Christ, take time to study the word in detail. Understand that biblical sound bites can be detrimental. By reading and twisting the word to your understanding it can cause you to miss what God truly has for you. Seize the opportunity to read more than just the verse, remember the two before and two after rule as well as study to show you are approved unto God. These practical study tips will align you with God�s will and in due season you will get the desires of your heart!

THE ILLUSIONIST (L'ILLUSIONNISTE) (Sylvain Chomet, 2010)
Based on an original unproduced screenplay by legendary French filmmaker Jacques Tati, THE ILLUSIONIST tells the story of an old sleight of hand magician as he strives to maintain a career that is going out of style. The days of vaudeville and music halls are waning in the late 1950s, so the illusionist takes whatever small jobs he can find.
One gig brings him to a Scottish pub where he's practically second fiddle to the newly installed electricity. There he meets the teenager Alice, who works at the pub and is delighted by his tricks. After giving her a much-needed new pair of shoes, she decides to accompany him as he seeks employment in Edinburgh. They check into a ramshackle hotel populated with his fellow struggling entertainers and wait to see what may come of their futures.
Adapted and directed by Sylvain Chomet, THE ILLUSIONIST is the next best thing to a new Tati movie. The main character is modeled on the comic actor, and the film follows the themes, tone, and almost wordless style of his cinematic masterpieces.
While a through line emerges, THE ILLUSIONIST often plays out as a succession of small setpieces packed with charm. Many of these scenes involve improvising within a closed environment, whether it's finding a way to bide time while waiting to take the stage, coming up with novel methods for painting a billboard, or performing in front of a less than riveted audience. As in Tati's classics, the humor brings forth gentle smiles more than big laughs, but the accumulation of droll enchantments is just as satisfying.
While Tati's fingerprints are all over the film, this remains undeniably Chomet's work. THE ILLUSIONIST'S wistfulness regarding changing times and fashions could just as well apply to the hand-drawn style of animation in which the film is lovingly rendered.
This bittersweet tale does not argue against progress. Much of the film is concerned with transitional stages and discovering what wonders these changes bring. Yet THE ILLUSIONIST also urges for retaining old ways and the beauty and magic that is lost when such things are abandoned. Whether it's this film's lovely animation or a variety entertainer's craft, to dispose of these pleasures in the endless quest for the next best thing is to limit the creative possibilities.

Standing no higher than 13 inches, Schipperkes are small dogs built for hard work. Schips were created as ratters and watchdogs. Their powerful jaws, necks, and forequarters—coupled with a stealthy, catlike hunting style—make them ideal rat-catching machines. The black coat is profuse around the neck, shoulders, and legs, giving the breed a silhouette that accentuates a thick, substantial body. The foxy face completes the unique look of a unique breed. If you can't tell a Schipperke from an ordinary dog, you simply haven't been paying attention.
- Personality: Alert, curious, confident; intense, but with a dash of mischief and impudence
- Energy Level: Very Active; Energetic, busy little dogs, Schips love walking, playing, and exploring

TRH Gameday 34 – Anaheim Ducks: Sutter to Think
Game #34
LA Kings
(15-14-4, 22nd in NHL)
Anaheim Ducks
(9-19-5, 29th (!) in NHL)
Kings Lead Season Series 2-1
Thursday, 7pm, Staples Center
Los Angeles, CA
Battle of California
Anaheim Calling
By now, we'll all seen the Dean Lombardi and Darryl Sutter press conference that lit up the internet yesterday. But I thought I'd share my favorite clip from it:
Well, here we go. The Darryl Sutter Era in Los Angeles begins tonight. And Half Season Ticket Holder Buddy and I will be there to see the 6th coach in our 9 seasons of being Half Season Ticket Holders. (And the 12th Head Coach I've seen during my 23 years of being a Kings fan!) From here on out, the Los Anglees Kings need a record of around 29-14-6 to get 98 points in the Western Conference. People are worried about how Darryl Sutter will be able to adjust to Los Angeles… but I say he's doing a fine job so far.
Since Mike Richards went down with a concussion 21 days ago, the LA Kings are 2-6 with 13 goals scored. For those of you keeping score at home… that's an average of 1.6 goals per game. Also 21 days ago, Mike Richards was the Kings leading goal scorer with 11. And today… 21 days later… he still is. So who cares about the debut of Darryl Sutter…tonight, our great goal leader returns.
Please, please, please score some goals. Please.

For the last decade, Wal-Mart has been "dead money" in investor parlance. After a big jump between 1995 and 2000, the stock today is worth less than it was in 2000. There has been volatility, which might have benefited some traders. But for most of the decade Wal-Mart's price has been lower. There has been excitement recently because the price has been catching up with where it was in 2002, even though there have been no real gains for long term investors.
What happened to Wal-Mart was a market shift. For many years being the market leader with every day low pricing was a winning strategy. Wal-Mart was able to expand from town to town opening new stores, all pretty much alike, doing the same thing and making really good money.
Then competitors took aim at Wal-Mart, and found out they could beat the giant.
Eventually the number of towns that both needed, and justified, a new Wal-Mart (or Sam's Club) dried up. Wal-Mart reacted by expanding many stores, making them "bigger and better," even adding groceries to some. But that added only marginally to revenue, and even less marginally to profits.
And Wal-Mart tried exporting its stores internationally, but that flopped as local market competitors found ways to better attract local customers than Wal-Mart's success formula offered.
Other U.S. discounters, like Target and Kohl's, offered nicer stores with more variety or classier merchandise - and often their pricing was not much higher, or even the same. And a new category of retailer, called "dollar stores" emerged that beat Wal-Mart's price on almost everything for the true price shopper. These 99 cent stores, such as Family Dollar Stores, became really popular, and the fastest growing traditional retail concept in America. Simultaneously, big box retailers like Best Buy expanded their merchandise and footprint into more locations, dramatically increasing the competition against local Wal-Mart's stores. And "category killers" like PetSmart grew offering more selection and often better pricing.
But, even more dramatically, the whole retail market began shifting on-line.
Amazon, and its brethren, kept selling more and more products. And at prices even lower than Wal-Mart. And again, for price shoppers, the growth of eBay, Craigslist and vertical market sites made it possible for shoppers to find slightly used, or even new, products at prices lower than Wal-Mart, and shipped right into the customer's home. With each year, customers found less need to buy at Wal-Mart as the on-line options exploded.
More recently, traditional price-focused retailers have been attacked by mobile devices.

Week ending January 3, 2014
Adams, Scott (text & illus.). I Sense a Coldness to Your Mentoring. Andrews McMeel. (Dilbert). 2013. 127p. ISBN 9781449429386. pap. $12.99; ebk. ISBN 9781449447328. COMICS
Retaining the sardonicism that has kept the comic strip Dilbert as the long-running staple in office humor and aiming the focus on the follies of the Pointy-Haired Boss as well as the CEO, this volume calls attention to all the worst traits possessed by every supervisor any office worker would ever know: incompetence, lack of empathy, sadism, and mismanagement, to name only a few. Adams makes this work relatable and contemporary by referencing current events, relevant corporate practices, and up-to-date technology all framed within the familiar world of Dilbert and his colleagues. Longtime fans of the comic as well as astute readers who enjoy satirical office wit will enjoy this most.
Verdict Consistently funny and bitingly witty, I Sense a Coldness to Your Mentoring is a pleasurable read for any individual who has ever had to work with a bad boss.—Laura Gallardo, St. Louis
Jones, Sabrina & others (illus.). Radical Jesus: A Graphic History of Faith. Herald. 2013. 128p. ed. by Paul Buhle. ISBN 9780836196214. pap. $24.99. REL
Prolific contributor and editor of many successful graphic nonfiction adaptations, including A People's History of American Empire with Howard Zinn, Buhle turns his focus to chronicling Christianity's challenges to the established social order. The first of three sections, illustrated by Jones (Race To Incarcerate), is the most successful, neatly juxtaposing the words of Scripture with deliberately anachronistic images of modern social and economic injustice. Unfortunately, the title's following sequences fail to build on this momentum. The second part, by artist Gary Dumm (Students for a Democratic Society: A Graphic History), which briefly covers nonconformist Christian sects over a span of about 500 years, is hurt by its drab, limited color palette, which makes it difficult for the reader to distinguish among the nine separate vignettes. The final section, by illustrator Nick Thorkelson (The Legal Rights of Union Stewards), is framed as a worship group discussion touching on various points of modern progressive Christianity. Many of these accounts are interesting, but the secondhand nature of the presentation undercuts their impact considerably and gives the section an unpleasant, pedantic feel.
Verdict Lack of cohesion, both narratively and artistically, hurts this title badly. Not recommended.—Neil Derksen, Pierce Cty. Lib. Syst., Tacoma
McCreery, Conor & Anthony Del Col (text) & Andy Belanger (illus.). Kill Shakespeare. Vol. 3: The Tide of Blood. IDW. 2013. 140p. ISBN 9781613777329. pap. $19.99; ebk. ISBN 9781623023966. FANTASY
It sounds good: put William Shakespeare's most famous characters together in a universe created by the Bard himself (now a mysterious wizard), add dialog borrowed from or inspired by his writings, render with moody artwork, and collect the hosannas. In the third KS limited series collected here, a foe thought to be vanquished lures Hamlet, his new love Juliet, a spurned and despondent Romeo, and a haunted but unflappable Othello to Prospero's island for purposes most foul. This conceit proves to be too clever. As the story endlessly twists and turns, the Shakespeare savvy will enjoy the verbiage while being constantly reminded that his plotting truly seemed to grow out of the characters and not vice versa, even when Shakespeare acknowledged historical facts in the story. A fine prolog and a gallery of stunning cover art are included.
Verdict Whether the tangled narrative causes readers to overlook Tide of Blood's strengths is a matter of individual taste; newcomers to Shakespeare's work should look elsewhere for accessible introductions (perhaps the series "No Fear Shakespeare"?). Some off-color language, violence, and gore make this suitable for YA and up; an optional purchase.—J. Osicki, Saint John Free P.L., NB
Morrison, Grant & Sholly Fisch (text) & Rags Morales & others (illus.). Superman—Action Comics. Vol. 3: At the End of Days. DC. (New 52). 2013. 224p. ISBN 9781401242329. $24.99; ebk. ISBN 9781401247379. SUPERHERO
Volume 3 of DC Comics' "New 52"–branded Superman brings together issues 13–18 of the series to wrap up writer Morrison and artists Morales and Brad Walker's run on the title. Largely following Superman's early years, this collection finds the superhero confronting Fifth Dimension nemesis Vyndktvx. Vyndktvx wages a multipronged war on Superman stretching from Smallville to Mars, from the recent past through CE 3030. Like most of Morrison's work (e.g., Batman: R.I.P.), Action Comics rewards close readers and takes a serious look at what was formerly Silver Age silliness. The sections dealing with Superman's dog, Krypto, are unexpectedly poignant, and the classic villain Mr. Mxyzptlk benefits from an expanded origin. The artwork is nothing less than phenomenal, whether capturing Clark Kent's grief at the loss of his parents, or Superman in an epic battle against a weapon designed solely to destroy him.
Verdict This will be of most interest to readers who've read the first two volumes, but with Superman's cinematic resurgence, this will be popular to a broader audience—although they may be surprised at its depth.—Terry Bosky, Madison, WI

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes Cardiff City need the proverbial sporting miracle to retain their Premier League status.
Not so Crystal Palace, whose destiny is now firmly in their own hands thanks to two goals from Jason Puncheon and another from former Cardiff midfielder Joe Ledley.
Pulis, born a dozen miles down the road in Newport and still sporting a south Wales twang, grew up on the terraces of Ninian Park, before signing his first professional playing contract with Bristol Rovers.
Unfortunately, as he rightly pointed out after yesterday's consummate victory, football provides no room for sentiment. Although he still admits to having a soft spot for his boyhood club, his only concern these days is keeping Palace in the top flight for another season, at least. On the evidence of this highly competent performance they will.
Sadly, Cardiff's shallow, gutless performance means last season's Championship winners are destined for the drop.
Even Cardiff manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is starting to believe that relegation is the inevitable consequence of the club's miserable first season in the top flight for more than 50 years.
"We still have something to fight for, but we might need to produce a miracle." Pulis refused to be drawn on his feelings for Cardiff but instead spoke in glowing terms of his own side's hugely impressive display.
"It was a good performance," he said. "We knew Cardiff would be strong and get lots of balls in their air, but our two centre halves and two central midfielders were outstanding and we fancied ourselves on the break.
"We played really well against Chelsea last Saturday and we didn't want to come here after the Lord Mayor's Show. It is very rewarding for everyone concerned. That said, we still have six games to go and we are not safe."
In typical Pulis fashion, Palace made sure that Cardiff's early flourish would meet with similar guts and gusto. They created a feeling of frustration amongst the home fans with their delaying tactics and made sure that when the ball came their way, they kept it.
In contrast, Cardiff were hurried and lacking in accuracy throughout. Matts Moller Daehli, the 18-year-old Norwegian, apart, they were wholly predictable.
The courage that Solskjaer had demanded of them in recent weeks was conspicuous by its absence as wash the honest endeavour that earned them what should have been a priceless point at West Brom eight days ago.
Quite why the manager had been so concerned about the supposed unsettling midweek reports of Wilfried Zaha returning to Crystal Palace next season, is anyone's guess.
The Manchester United loanee was a virtual spectator for much of the games with Solskjaer time and again encouraging him to get involved. When he was finally replaced, in the second half, he was roundly booed.
Cardiff's only real opportunity before half time saw the industrious Fraizer Campbell force Julián Speroni into a smart save. However, once Puncheon arrived to converted Joe Ledley's slide rule pass on half an hour, there was a general feeling of inevitability about the day.
Ledley reacted quickly to convert a second for Palace, 19 minutes from time, after David Marshall somehow kept out a smart header from Marouane Chamakh. Three minutes from the end and with many of the home fans having already departed, Puncheon rubbed salt into the wound when he beat Marshall with a terrific strike from 20 yards.
Solskjaer added: "This was very disappointing because we built it up as big game and I am disappointed for the fans that we ended up with a result and performance like this.
"If you produce a miracle you are capable of getting out of it. It has been a tough season for everyone involved in the club and I think in the second half we showed that it had taken its toll.
"We lacked some quality and they are fantastically well organised. Today was very hard for us to take. We have to produce a miracle to stay up."

Psoriatic arthritis is classified as one of the spondyloarthropathies (a group of conditions linked to spine arthritis). It is important to be accurately diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis so that treatment options can be considered early in the course of the disease. There are 10 things you should know about psoriatic arthritis.

1 - Psoriatic arthritis is a type of arthritis associated with the skin disease psoriasis.

Psoriatic arthritis is a chronic type of arthritis. In some patients, symptoms associated with psoriatic arthritis are mild. In those patients with mild disease, the symptoms can come and go. For other patients with psoriatic arthritis, the course of the disease is more persistent.

2 - Psoriatic arthritis can affect any joint in the body.

Typically, psoriatic arthritis affects large joints of the lower extremities, distal joints of the fingers and toes, as well as the back and sacroiliac joints. There are 5 clinical patterns of psoriatic arthritis which are not mutually exclusive and may evolve from one to another:

asymmetrical monoarticular and oligoarticular arthritis

symmetrical polyarticular arthritis

distal interphalangeal joint involvement

arthritis mutilans

axial or spondylitis type

Each type is explained in Psoriatic Arthritis - The Basic Facts

3 - About 40 percent of psoriatic arthritis patients have a family history of psoriasis or arthritis.

The cause of psoriatic arthritis is still unknown. Patients with a family history of psoriasis or arthritis support the theory that genetic factors may be related to the cause. Environmental triggers may also play a role. For example, psoriasis can be triggered by strep throat in some cases.

4 - About 15 percent of people with psoriasis eventually develop psoriatic arthritis.

The symptoms of psoriasis and chronic joint inflammation often develop separately for psoriatic arthritis patients. In 85 percent of psoriatic arthritis patients, symptoms of psoriasis develop before arthritis symptoms. Arthritis develops before psoriasis in up to 15 percent of psoriatic arthritis patients. Psoriasis and arthritis can develop years apart.

5 - Psoriatic arthritis may be misdiagnosed as gout or rheumatoid arthritis.

Gout and rheumatoid arthritis share some of the signs and symptoms associated with psoriatic arthritis. Tests must be performed to rule out the other conditions. Painful, swollen joints are common to all three of the conditions mentioned. Skin and nail changes consistent with psoriasis help to pin down the diagnosis. Skin biopsies are also sometimes obtained to help diagnose psoriatic arthritis.

6 - Psoriatic arthritis, unlike rheumatoid arthritis, may only need to be treated when symptoms arise.

When symptoms subside and psoriatic arthritis is less active, it may be possible to stop treatment for some patients until symptoms re-appear. NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are typically the first line of treatment for psoriatic arthritis. DMARDs (disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs) may be added to the treatment course. Biologic drugs are also among the treatment options.

7 - There are factors which are predictive of a worse prognosis for psoriatic patients.

The prognosis for psoriatic arthritis patients is worse if they have:

extensive skin involvement

strong family history of psoriasis

female gender

disease onset at younger than 20 years of age

expression of genes HLA-B27, HLA-DR3, HLA-DR4

polyarticular (i.e., arthritis affecting several joints) or erosive arthritis (i.e., joint damage from inflammation)

8 - About 2 percent of the Caucasian population in North America has psoriasis. Of those people, 5 to 7 percent have inflammatory arthritis in some form.

According to the Arthritis Foundation, 95 percent of people with psoriatic arthritis have swelling in joints outside of the spine and more than 80 percent have nail lesions. Psoriatic arthritis usually develops between 30 to 50 years of age. Men and women seem to have equal risk for developing psoriatic arthritis.

9 - There is a 50-fold increased risk of developing psoriatic arthritis in first-degree relatives of patients who have the disease.

Researchers have also determined that in identical twins, there is 70 percent concordance (i.e., the degree of similarity in a pair of twins with regard to the presence or absence of a particular disease) for psoriasis. Interestingly, there is a two-fold increased risk of transmitting psoriatic arthritis by an affected father compared to an affected mother.

10 - No laboratory tests or specific X-ray results offer definitive diagnostic criteria for psoriatic arthritis.

Laboratory tests for nonspecific inflammation (i.e., sedrate and CRP) may be elevated when psoriatic arthritis is active. Typically, the psoriatic arthritis patient is negative for rheumatoid factor. If rheumatoid factor is positive, it may be a case of psoriasis combined with rheumatoid arthritis, rather than a case of psoriatic arthritis.

I know I keep saying that I'll get back to the regularly scheduled blogging soon and not too much has availed yet. I do have one more guest post line up and will soon be reviewing a product. I'm busy finishing my thesis for my masters. If any of y'all are interested it's a systematic review on the efficacy of eccentric exercise in the treatment of achilles tendinopathy. When I'm finished I may post it up here, depending on whether or not I'm allowed to do so from the university. I'll warn you now, it promises to be very wordy and not exactly a light read. It is really interesting though.
The due date for the thesis is October 30th. Then I have 2 weeks before starting my final clinical placement. So it looks like I'll actually have some more time to dedicate to the blog, which is nice. I much prefer writing here for pleasure than researching and writing reviews for university. The end is nye though. stick with me folks.
For now I'll share one of my favourite videos. It's a this hour has 22 minutes skit featuring mark critch of newfoundland. Newfoundlanders will appreciate this, Canadians will - hopefully - understand it, and the rest of you will enjoy it because of its hilarity and overall awesomeness. Sorry, nothing exercise or physiotherapy related in the video.

Some top tax saving strategies
by Talbot Boggs
Monday, March 23, 2009provided by
(Special) - Reducing the amount of tax you pay each year doesn't have to be difficult. There are a number of tax-saving strategies that are easy to implement and leave more money in your pocket.
The first is contributing to a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) and/or the new Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA).
"Do both and do both the maximum," advises Myron Knodel, Director of Tax and Estate Planning with Investors Group.
Financial experts almost universally agree that the TFSA is one of the most revolutionary financial products to hit the market since the introduction of RRSPs more than 50 years ago.
Anyone over 18 can open a TFSA and put up to $5,000 a year in any sort of investment allowed in an RRSP. You pay no tax on the income earned or any capital gains when the investment is withdrawn.
TFSA contributions also can be carried forward and if you withdraw money in one year from the account, you are allowed to put it back, but only in the year after it is withdrawn.
RRSPs and TFSAs can have different purposes.
An RRSP is a longer-term investment strategy that is probably more attractive to people in a higher income tax bracket who can take greater advantage of the tax refund you get from contributing to an RRSP.
TFSAs, however, are probably more suitable as a short-term investment strategy. They are more flexible than an RRSP because you can take your money in and out. If you withdraw money from an RRSP before its maturity, you pay a heavy tax penalty.
The decision where to put your money will depend on your specific objectives and needs.
If you're anticipating receiving an inheritance, a testamentary trust can provide significant tax benefits because of the preferential treatment that trusts receive under the Income Tax Act.
A testamentary trust is any trust that arises on death through a will. Testamentary trusts report income and pay tax, but usually at a lower rate than if the money was in the hands of the beneficiary.
Also, it can protect money in the event of a marital breakdown.
"Testamentary trusts may seem complicated, but they are really quite simple and routine," says Knodel. "There's no minimum that can be put in and they are becoming more popular."
Income splitting is another easy-to-implement strategy that can have significant tax savings.
Pension income splitting rules, originally introduced in October, 2006, are quickly becoming an important part of the retirement planning process for Canadian retirees and seniors.
The rules took effect in the 2007 tax year and allow retirees to split their retirement income with their partners. It is particularly effective in reducing a household's overall tax bill by shifting income from a higher-income earner to one or more lower-income earners.
The government estimates pension income splitting measures will provide Canadians more than $1 billion in tax relief each year.
Registered Educational Savings Plans (RESPs) help parents pay for the cost of their children's education.
Although there are no deductions like there are with an RRSP, your investment within the plan can grow tax free until it is withdrawn and all of the investment decisions are made by you. The lifetime contribution for each beneficiary is $50,000.
As well, you can take advantage of federal government grants of up to 20 per cent of your annual contribution up to a maximum of $500 for each beneficiary. The lifetime limit for the grant is $7,200.
For families with a more modest income, a learning bond provides an additional grant of up to $2,000 per child.
If the beneficiary of an RESP does not go to education after high school, your plan may allow you to choose another beneficiary, transfer the earnings to your RRSP, or withdraw the earnings, in which case you will pay taxes on them. You have to return any grants to the government unless you have a family RESP with one or more beneficiaries related to the contributor.
There are many more tax savings strategies available. To learn about your options, you may want to consult a tax or investment professional.

Jackett's Reaction To Brighton Loss
Kenny Jackett said the ''real Swansea City didn't turn up'' as we lost 3-2 at Brighton last night.
After going 3-1 down, Fallon gave us a small chance of getting a point by scoring in injury time. He then missed a great chance to net again.
Jackett however didn't criticise the striker for his miss and said: ''Rory had a very good chance - the ball dropped on his left foot and it looked as though it might have been an open goal in front of him,''
''But I would never have a go at anybody for missing a chance. We were below par from start to finish, there's no doubt about that, and although Rory felt he should have scored I would not knock him.
''We never really got going on a night when the game was there for us. We had plenty of possession and territorial advantage but were unable to break Brighton down.
''Despite that we got ourselves back into it at 1-1 and then went and conceded two goals from set-pieces. That was very frustrating.''
''It wasn't the real Swansea City,''
''The passing Swansea who create lots of chances.
''We can do a hell of a lot better than that and we will do at Blackpool.''

BEREA, Ohio — For the last seven years, Steve Hodge has driven from his home in Westerville the night before the Browns open training camp and set up outside the practice fields so he can be the first inside.
But in the wee hours Saturday morning, a skunk nearly foiled his tradition.
The 52-year-old president of the Westerville Browns Backers said his girlfriend had left to find a bathroom and he dozed off. When he woke up around 4 a.m., he thought there was a cat underneath his chair. Soon he wished it were a cat, even a black one.
"I was afraid to leave," Hodge said. "Eventually, it meandered off looking for food."
Thankfully, Hodge emerged unsprayed. When the gates opened at 8:30 a.m., he installed himself in the front row, nabbing a corner spot so he could show off his orange No. 2 jersey with glittery green dollar signs pasted on it. It was a recycled Tim Couch, with Manziel pasted over Couch's name.
Hodge wasn't the only one who had "Money Manziel" (the moniker on one of Nike's Johnny Manziel T-shirts) on his mind. By 8:50, the bleachers were packed. Theon Smith said when he and friend Bob Murtha, both of West Akron, arrived at Browns headquarters at 8:15 a.m. there were 100 to 200 people ahead of them in line.
The official attendance was 3,702, the highest on the first day since at least 2005. Last year, 2,692 attended. The crowd was undeterred by a new online registration policy requiring tickets.
But it wasn't just loyal fans who came. So did the national media. USA Today and the New York Post sent their NFL writers. ESPN's Bob Holtzman broadcast updates throughout practice, and Browns coach Mike Pettine sat down with him afterward.
"No makeup, though," Pettine joked.
The practice was shown live on NFL Network, with ex-Browns linebacker Willie McGinest, one of its analysts, grudgingly accepting a media armband.
"It was just great to walk out the door and feel the energy," Pettine said. "I've said all along that we have the best fans in the league. They're passionate. They're loyal. They love football. They're knowledgeable, and that was evidenced [Saturday]."
The evidence may have been their silence. While running back Terrance West and receiver Andrew Hawkins looked good as pass-catchers, the defense dominated, acting like they wanted the ball more than the offense. Strong safety Donte Whitner noted that fans "only want to cheer for the offense."
"But that's OK, we're all Browns fans," said Whitner, a product of Cleveland's Glenville High School.
Contributing to the quiet may have been the lack of big throws called for Manziel, the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner and the 22nd overall pick from Texas A&M, who has taken Browns' fans love of the backup quarterback to a new frenzy. His jerseys were everywhere — along with a sighting of an Andre Rison, Reuben Droughns and William Green.
The latter three represent glimpses from a past that fans hope to forget. Manziel is the future, even if he doesn't start a regular-season game this season as he sits behind quarterback Brian Hoyer.
"It's not just my number, my name on the back. It's Cleveland. It's the Browns," Manziel said of so many supporters wearing his jersey. "It's awesome to have the fan base we have. It's a great turnout [Saturday], and I'm sure that won't stop any time soon."
Cheryl Brown, 55, of Cleveland, brought a group of 20 that arrived at 7:30 a.m. Attending games for 20 years, Brown fumbled to remember the name of Pettine's predecessor, Rob Chudzinski, who lasted only a year.
"I'm excited about this season," Brown said. "They've got a new coach and he's not their daddy. He's about business and building a winner."
Brown has been through the constant starting over too many times to count. Pettine is the Browns' seventh coach since 1999. But with Pettine and new general manager Ray Farmer in charge, Brown is predicting playoffs.
Owner Jimmy Haslam also praised Pettine, saying he thinks the coach will be in Cleveland "for years to come."
Haslam refused to predict the Browns' record in 2014, calling that "unfair."
"This is a long process. This is a team that has not been very good for a long time and despite what a lot of people think, we're actually patient and feel we have the right group in place," he said. "I think we'll have a better football team this year and we're all going to be disappointed if we don't.
"If we were 12-4 last year, it would still be all about getting better. I think Ray and Pet and [executive chief of staff] Bill Kuharich did a nice job with free agency and the draft. We probably need another year or two like that to have really the kind of roster we need. In my terminology, we're directionally correct."
For fans following a team that has had two winning seasons and one playoff appearance in 15 years, directionally correct might sound fine as long as it doesn't start with a 4 or a 5. Season ticket holders like Hodge or Pumpkinhead, roaming the end zone with a buddy in a winged helmet, orange cape and breastplate made of EVA floor mats, seemed undeterred by the Browns' previous failures.
Pumpkinhead, aka Gus Angelone, 38, of Parma, made headgear for himself and one of two sons from Halloween decorations from Jo-Ann Fabric. His friend Josh Jansen, 30, of North Olmsted, said he had "a lot of free time over the summer" to fashion a new costume for Browns games.
The first practice of a new regime could have felt like deja-vu. But Johnny Football's in town and optimism reigned. Even a skunk couldn't spoil the party.

It somehow seemed fitting that as it reached it's "terrible twos," Placebocare reached the Supreme Court. After three days of arguments, whether Placebocare, in whole or part, gets to see it's "terrific threes" is now left to nine people who regularly wear black robes to the work place.
I'm not an attorney, nor do I play one on TV. However, it seems that the preponderance of opinion on both the Left and Right is that the Administration did a horrible job of making its case. Many, again on both sides, believe the individual mandate is in serious trouble. Beyond that, there is growing concern that whether the Justices believe the mandate to be severable or not may be moot. The whole of Placebocare could go down not over a severability argument but because the law is so complex and so intertwined on so many levels that the Justices may well feel that it is not within their ability to judge what stays or goes and instead give Congress a "do over" on the whole law.
Typically in a Supreme Court case, once the case is argued there may be a few days of public speculation as to the outcome if the case was unique or particularly important, like the Kelo decision. I don't think that pattern will hold with Placebocare.
In a sign that the Left is both worried and is positioning for fall elections, we are seeing and will continue to see articles like this one from Slate.
Let's skip past the "if you believe Placebocare is unconstitutional you must be a redneck from Kentucky" comment like:
The smart money before the argument was on an 8-1 upholding of Obamacare.
and head straight for what we will hear from now until the day the Supreme's announce their decision…and if the Left loses, what we will hear as Obama's campaign standard:
If it overturns Obamacare, the Supreme Court will have revealed its radical nature.
You see to the Left, the Supreme Court is only "Supreme" when it agrees with their agenda. When it doesn't agree, it is there to be politicized like a group of nine "Joe the Plumbers." President Obama showed us clearly how this works with his 2010 State of the Union Speech. During the speech, in reference to the Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission decision, President Obama openly criticized the Supremes. He claimed that they "reversed a century of law." It was President Obama's way of saying "they're radical."
Between now and the end of June when the Supreme Court is expected to release it's decision, the MSM and other left media outlets will be attempting to taunt the Supreme Court to see things their way. Taunts like "radical," "legitimacy" and "ideologues" will be included in numerous recounts of the arguments and the possible ramifications of the outcome. If the decision goes against the Administration, you can bank on Obama using these same taunts in an effort to galvanize his slipping support in an effort to make the Supreme Court the reason for his reelection. In fact, if, as I suspect, Sotomayer leaks the decision to the Administration, you can expect to see Obama cranking this rhetoric as a preemptive strike on what will be a harmful decision.
It's going to be a long spring folks. Politics will not be leaving stage front and center for another several months, maybe a year. In the meantime, expect to hear a lot of taunting of the Supreme Court. Like the kids of our youth I can already hear the left yelling, "Meme, Meme, Meeeeeme!"
Update 4/2 10:38 AM didn't know Allen West was a reader of NRE. Welcome aboard Allen!
update 2 4/2 3:01 PM No I'm not clairvoyant I just understand how the Left "thinks." Expect to see a lot more of this in the coming weeks. In fact, the more you see of it the better as it will be a confirmation that Placebocare will be struck down
Update 3: 4/2 3:55 PM Oh, my gosh, my sides hurt I'm laughing so hard! I'm almost ready to declare Placebocare is going down in total…almost but not yet!

Jasmine Village Hotel Hurghada Reviews
34 reviews
Jul 23, 2012
Jasmine Village Hotel is designed with space in mind: the rooms aren't standard high rise buildings, but small appartment blocks scattered on the terrain. So no noisey neighbours above you. Downside is that you might have to walk quit a bit from your room to the pool/beach/restaurant... the rooms are spacious, with either 2 queensize or 1 king size bed, tv, large build inn closet, fridge -with fresh bottled water every day all in!- and a decent sized bath room. No bath, but a walk in shower. The bed was good to sleep in, loved the pillows!
The main restaurant was okay with breakfast and diner: large selection and some things made fresh to order like pancakes in the morning of pizza in the evening; lunch however not so good. And please remember that hot dishes in these countries aren't served as hot as we are used to in Europe! For lunch I recommend the pool restaurant with its fresh pasta's made to order. Also very nice for dining is the oriental restaurant near the beach with local specialities and a very yummy desert!
The beach was very clean, with parasols, beds and wind shields...and lovely beach boys; if you'll talk to them a little, tip them a little, they do everything for you! They love to know who you are, where you from etc.

At the Newark airport
a small girl waits in line
with her parents.
She's dressed in a frenzy of pink
that trumpets her arrival
and suggests that her parents
are happy to let her dress herself.
She notices the rope that keeps us in line.
Steps under it.
She grabs the metal post beside her
and spins around it,
the top of her head grazing the rope,
her long blonde hair flying out
in large hypnotic circles,
We discover how to use a GPS,
name her Beatrice.
One day, as she urges us over
an ancient wooden bridge,
we spot a small set of locks
under an awning of leaves.
We disobey her,
change our route
and sit on the bank
of the Rideau Canal.
We admire pink peonies,
breathe deeply
and think of a girl
we once knew.
I start a cloud collection.
I gather them from vast skies
above green fields of the Ottawa Valley
and pluck them from the various blues
that our planes pass through.
I stuff them in the pockets of my eyes,
and wonder if I've taken these clouds
for granted.
In the whole wide world
(at least the parts we've seen)
no other clouds compare.
We spend an afternoon at a farm
where my sister is housesitting.
A black lab named Ralph wins my heart
when he lies down with his large head on my feet.
Our parents have met us there
and we feast on pizza with green olives
and large glasses of iced tea
that leave rings of sweat on the table.
In the heat of the day,
soothed by the sound
of McDiarmids talking,
I fall asleep on the couch.
Later, we visit the chickens
who are both uglier
and more beautiful
than expected
and Megan introduces the one splendid rooster
who looks like he's wearing harem pants.
I find that strangely fitting.
Over grey gravel roads,
my mother and I race
the storm clouds home
At our favourite ramen place
back in Yokohama
they've added lettuce to the big red bowl.
We wonder
if they saw us
and knew.
"These people haven't had vegetables in days."
Lettuce and ramen go together
much better than you might think.
Between three and six
in the morning
jet lag
pins me hard
against the glass wall
between asleep and awake.
But poems fill these hours:
images and words flow
like water over smooth stones,
they move like starlings,
plunging and soaring as one bird,
forming new patterns in my mind.
I write until I fall asleep.
When people ask about our summer
we'll say it was fine. It wasn't.
It was painful
in spots
but also filled
with so much beauty
that I couldn't count it.

NEW YORK – For many people the American League East is considered the toughest division in baseball. For R.A. Dickey, there doesn't seem to be much to it.
Dickey became the first pitcher to throw consecutive one hitters since Dave Steib accomplished the feat in 1988.
It has only been accomplished 10 times in major league baseball history, counting Johnny VanderMeer's back-to-back no-hitters.
Dickey walked to and struck out 13 Baltimore Orioles for a 5-0 victory.
The only hit was Wilson Betemit's clean single in the fifth inning. Betemit's and did a consecutive hitless inning streak at 13 going back to the game he pitched last Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Ike Davis hit a grand slam home run to give Dickey all the run support he would need.
Dickey now has 5 straight starts of 0 ER and 8 or more strikeouts — the longest streak in MLB history

You may have seen a few prominent politicians on Twitter last night insisting that President Obama is giving those World of Warcraft nerdburgers $1.2 million for their hoard.
As you may have guessed, that's not actually the case. Instead the government is giving old people a small amount to play Boom Blox. Here's what our fearless leaders think is happening, versus what's really happening.
The root of this ridiculousness is Tom Coburn, senator from Oklahoma. Coburn makes it a habit to find government projects he thinks are wasteful and publish them in a "Wastebook".
To be fair, Coburn isn't shy about whaling on his own party (number one in 2012's Wastebook are his colleagues in the Congress) or chewing out wastes perpetrated by his own state, but the problem is that he doesn't really "get" this whole "science" "thing" that the government insists on spending money on. Among his declarations of "waste" were NASA's Advanced Food Technology Project, which was less than a million bucks, because we're not planning on going to Mars soon; robotics and biology research; installing WiFi equipment in rural libraries that Coburn thinks is too powerful, drawing on the electrical engineering knowledge inherent in getting an M.D.; and pretty much any government project that has anything to do with video games.
Which brings us to #87, $1.2 million for old people to play World of Warcraft. Which sounds pretty damning, if it were true.
One teeny, tiny problem… Coburn got everything about the study wrong, right down to the video game the government was paying people to play.
…the research that included the World of Warcraft game was not funded by the National Science Foundation, though it helped to set the stage for the federally funded project.
The initial study looked at the effects of playing an "attentionally demanding game" — in this case, World of Warcraft — on the cognitive abilities of seniors. The study cost a total of $5,000 and was funded entirely by N.C. State, [lead researcher Anne] McLaughlin said. It was initiated as a pilot and showed some promising results in improving the cognitive abilities of some seniors, particularly those who scored poorly in the cognitive pre-tests.
It is true that some of that $1.2 million grant will go to seniors for playing video games, but the research is to determine whether gaming helps with cognitive gains, and study compensation is hardly unusual in government research projects.
So essentially the politicians tweeting this are against scientific research that may help prevent cognitive decline in the elderly, and paying people for their time.
Well, OK, that last one isn't really a big surprise.

if your conservatory is unheated you could try the plastic bottle thing,but with the weather as it is it might be a little early.
21 Mar 2013 19:32
It is a bit early for tomatoes in a cold greenhouse-providing the conservatory is frost-free they should be ok as regards surviving -it is more a case of see what happens?
21 Mar 2013 19:36
21 Mar 2013 21:13
These plants would have been germinating around 16c so keep them inside till it warms up when it does start hardening them off I grow Gardeners Delight in my green house they do well outside they can be dodgy especially up here in the north.
21 Mar 2013 22:49
Couldn't you bring them indoors for the night?
22 Mar 2013 18:50
24 Mar 2013 16:32
They're going to need light as much as warmth, RD, as much light as they can get. Preferably sunlight. The longer you can keep the temps in the low to mid teens the better. But light is the absolute key.
25 Mar 2013 17:54
26 Mar 2013 07:42
That's probably as good as you can do under the circumstances. Just try to keep them as warm as possible.
26 Mar 2013 07:51
Good morning Italophile
I've not dared start any of mine off yet this year - thought I'd be brave and do it this coming weekend - the thing is once they've outgrown the windowsills I've only got a mini greenhouse and a plastic growhouse to move them on to.
I'm afraid this is going to be a short season - I'm wondering whether I should save my heritage seeds for another year and go for some modern types in order to be more likely to get a crop? What do you think?
26 Mar 2013 21:00
Well, I planted my tomatoes on January the 1st as was tradition with my grandpa and mine are sitting on my kitchen windowsill at a very proud 7 inches They are very happy and even the cat leaves them alone now lol
27 Mar 2013 07:58
Morning Dove! Happy - belated - New Year. It's still bizarrely chilly and grey and damp here for the time of year. We should already be comfortably into the teens C with plenty of sun.
I started my seeds about six weeks ago, as per usual, and everything germinated, as per usual. On dry days I put them out on the terrace in a crate wrapped in bubble wrap, but, at 7C and overcast, they're only puttering along. They're probably about a fortnight behind where they would usually be.
Heirlooms or hybrids, the only difference is the flavour. Growing circumstances are identical. If you're bothered about length of season, the only factor you need to take into account is their days to maturity. Both Anna Russian and Camp Joy (the cherry, I think I sent some, didn't I?) would be fine. They won't take any longer than your average hybrid.
The larger beefsteaks, which need longer, might be more problematic in a short season. I'd try some anyway. You don't know what summer will bring and what have you got to lose? I can always send more.
27 Mar 2013 08:29
My tomatoes have germinated over the past couple of days. Do I take the cover off them now?
27 Mar 2013 08:32
You're a star Italophile, and a Happy New Year to you too! I had thought that maybe the Anna Russian would cope with a shorter season (DDIL isn't at all fazed by snow in March) - it is the days to maturity I'm a bit concerned about.
It is still absolutely perishing cold here so my toms will be confined to the kitchen and dining room windowsills for quite a while unless we get a sudden heatwave
You sent me Jaune Flamme which I think are the smaller ones? You also sent Golden Queen, Soldacki and Marianna's Peace - as you said ' the decision making is hard'.
I shall start them off this weekend and hope for the best
28 Mar 2013 09:23
@ tattiana
Once germinated, they need light. Preferably sunlight, but as much bright light as they can get for at least 12-14 hours a day. You can take the cover off providing there's still reasonable warmth.
@ Dove
Ah, Jaune Flammée. Forgot I'd sent those. They're the gold French golf ball-sized ones. They'll likely be the quickest of the lot. Golden Queen is medium-size, obviously Soldaki and MP are beefsteaks. Start them all, see what happens. They're only seeds!
Here's Jaune Flamée. Lovely citrusy tang to them. They look like cherries in this photo, in reality they're a bit bigger, golf ball-sized:
28 Mar 2013 10:32
Oh my gosh! They look so delicious - what I wouldn't give for some warm ripe tomatoes, basil and EVOO with a sprinkling of sea salt* right at this very minute - at the very least the vitamin C would help get rid of this virus
*maybe some good mozzarella too
28 Mar 2013 11:42
Here are my wee 'uns currently. Outside, under bubble wrap in a rare moment of sunshine:
And you can see how pale they are from the lack of sunlight:
28 Mar 2013 23:14
You're in Lincolnshire. a long way from t'north where I am. But I agree with other posters, good light is essential. A few years ago I experimented with grow lights and a heated bench to grow Gardeners Delight through the Winter. I got about 3 tiny tomatoes! My GD's were sown in January on a heated bench this year and are about 4 inches high. Even with the snow recently, we've had the odd bright day, and they've done ok. But they definitely need both heat and light. In a normal year (ahem, if we ever get one again) I would expect ripe toms from GD by late June in the greenhouse, after planting them out in a cold greenhouse early to mid May (in Cumbria). Up till that point they were in a frost-free propagating house (soil warming cable plus thermostatic fan heater). if you're using windowsill/conservatory, I'd suggest turning the plants every day to stop them bending towards the light, but try to avoid them getting cold, they don't like it.
29 Mar 2013 21:02
I plant seeds my toms on cristmas day and do not think you need the lenth of sunlight you say all I do if they become lrggy is repot them on but pot them on deeper this as the added affect of giving a better root ball wene it is time to put them in the greenhouse I have done this for 3 years now and my father as done the same for I dont know how long, my tom plants are now in 9cm pots and are about 7 inch tall

Everyone knows that schools report on student progress at regular intervals. The national service program Teach For America, or "TFA," has now been in Alabama for one full school year. And as it gears up to send our state more than 50 new teachers, it makes
sense to ask, how are they doing? What grades would Alabama's Teach For America teachers get on their report cards? Dan Carsen, who was a TFA teacher 15 years ago, asked around for the Southern Education Desk at WBHM:
Four girls harmonize on stage at the Indian Springs School in Pelham. It's the end of a program called "Higher Achievement Summer
School." The girls and 11 other high-schoolers from poor Black Belt counties spent most of June on the idyllic campus, far from home, taking
college prep courses and touring universities.
The whole experience was set up, funded, and taught by Teach For America teachers
working on their summer break for no pay.
Teach For America recruits top college graduates, gives them a crash course in education, and places them in districts
that face teacher shortages and other problems. The TFA "corps members," as they're called, sign a two-year commitment to teach in
the district, and they're paid the normal starting salary.
"They go beyond the call of duty. They're doing tutoring in the morning, they're doing tutoring in the afternoon, not being paid.
They're starting Boy Scouts, they're starting Girls Scouts. They're some of my better teachers in my school district."
That's Dr. Fred Primm, soon-to-be Superintendent of Bessemer City Schools, and former Superintendent of Sumter County Schools.
Sumter was one of the six counties that had TFA teachers last year. Primm says the plusses of TFA teachers include a proven ability
to lead and to learn quickly. He would give the program an "A."
But can a top-notch undergraduate education and a record of academic achievement really compensate for a lack of classroom
experience and a short-term commitment?
Brad Fournier teaches at Sun Valley Elementary, an inner-city school in Birmingham. He's a married father of two and something of
an overachiever himself, running a tournament-winning chess club on his own time and serving on various school committees. He says,
for TFA corps members, teaching is not the ultimate objective:
"It may be something nice to do, in the meantime. But these people didn't go to school to teach. These are what we call 'the best
and brightest' who are given a nice little break, in between college and a career. And many of them do not stay in the classroom.
The best teachers are those who have been in the classroom for several years."
Fournier resents the fact that in some districts, including Birmingham, regular teachers are getting pink slips while TFA teachers
are being hired. He also says that while some TFA teachers may have a short-term advantage, it's hard for them to maintain:
"Why they may outperform first-year teachers who are traditionally educated comes from the fact that they are pouring everything
into it for two years. It's easy to run a sprint. But if you run a sprint for an entire marathon, you're talking burnout."
The first national longitudinal study of TFA teachers found that just less than half stay in their districts longer than their
two-year commitment. TFA teachers are tossed into rough, unfamiliar waters, and while the vast majority swim, some do sink. Though
all 32 Alabama TFA teachers made it through their first year, five will not return for their second. That's on par with retention
rates in low-income districts for regular first-year teachers.
Measuring the quality of education is notoriously difficult. This year's testing data is just beginning to trickle in. And there
are other hard-to-quantify factors at play here. Superintendent Primm describes a different benefit of TFA, especially in isolated
Black Belt counties:
"Our students need to be exposed to people of other ethnicities. They also need to be exposed to people from other geographical
locations. Now you're deprogramming people, and now you're getting them to the point to think in a much broader sense in terms of
what the country actually looks like and the possibilities that are open to all students."
Also hard to measure is the value of TFA alumni taking real knowledge of what goes on in America's poorest schools with them as
they fan out into other fields.
TFA-Alabama Director J.W. Carpenter says his corp members have been supported by the communities
where they teach, and that's key:
"If we're going to close the achievement gap in Alabama, it's going to take all of us. The future of Alabama over the next five,
10, 15 years is going to be made by the students that are currently in our classroom. And if we focus on getting them excellent
academically, and we focus on generating them to become leaders in their own communities in this state, I cannot wait to see what
Alabama is going to be like."
Though there are critics with valid points, it seems that Alabama stakeholders are generally happy with Teach For America so far.
Its long-term success or failure here depends on the organization itself and on local teachers, administrators, community leaders,
parents, and students.
The initial sprint has been run, and apparently run pretty well, but in Alabama, the marathon is just beginning, and it may be just
too early to judge TFA's chances of long-term success.

Have you ever played the "If I won the lottery, I would…" game? We don't really buy lottery tickets, but sometimes, when the payout gets really, really high, we buy a ticket for fun. I think the most fun thing about it is dreaming about how we'd spend our windfall, where we'd travel, who we'd help…it's good for a little bit of practically-free entertainment and good conversation.
I do the same thing when it comes to bakeries. Sometimes I like to scope out quaint buildings and dream about opening my own little shop. I've planned out menus, thought about decor and ambiance, even written a business plan or two. Maybe someday.
I can tell you that these would totally be on the menu. Yep, I think about things like that. I think about imaginary menus for imaginary bakery.
That's not weird, is it?
These whoopie pies are a fun way to mix up your fall treats – the cookie is actually more like cake, it's soft and, thanks to the pumpkin, very moist. The pumpkin cream cheese filling is sweet and tangy, and definitely an indulgent treat.
But seriously, we deserve a treat. We can't all win the lottery.
Doesn't mean I'll stop dreaming about it.
Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
Yield: 15-20 sandwiches
Prep Time: 25 minutes ♦ Bake Time: 15 minutes per batch
Pumpkin Cookie Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 Tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1 Tablespoon ground ginger
- 1 Tablespoon ground cloves
- 2 cups packed brown sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups pumpkin puree, chilled
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat; set
aside. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves; set
aside. In another large bowl, whisk together brown sugar and oil until well combined. Add pumpkin puree
and whisk until combined. Add eggs and vanilla and whisk until well combined. Sprinkle flour mixture over
pumpkin mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
Using a small ice cream scoop with a release mechanism, drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto prepared
baking sheets, about 1 inch apart. Transfer to oven and bake until cookies are just starting to crack on top
and a toothpick inserted into the center of each cookie comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Let cool
completely on pan.
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Filling Ingredients:
- 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 4 Tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 pounds powdered/confectioners sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
In a large bowl, beat together butter and cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add pumpkin puree,
cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and beat just until combined. Slowly add confectioners sugar, a cup at a time and
beat to combine. Once the mixture starts to get very stiff and hard to beat, add the heavy cream and beat
well. Slowly add the rest of the confectioners sugar and beat for 4-5 minutes or until light and fluffy. Spread
mixture on to the cooled pumpkin cookies. (I put my frosting in a piping bag, you could also spoon it into a
large plastic storage bag and snip on of the corners off for the same effect.) Sandwich the cookies together,
pressing slightly to spread the filling to the edges. Store refrigerated in an airtight container until ready to
serve. Enjoy!

Skip to comments.Dem Congressman At Benghazi Hearing: "Death Is A Part Of Life"
Posted on 05/08/2013 11:20:12 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, tells Benghazi witnesses that "death is a part of life."
CUMMINGS: And, as I listen to your testimony I could not help but think of something that I said very recently -- two years ago now -- in a eulogy for a relative. I said that death is a part of life....
(Excerpt) Read more at realclearpolitics.com ...
No one died in Watergate.
So why the social justice they want to push so much then?
Everybody just needs to accept 'a part of life' and (quote) "learn from this" (unquote).
King David said the same thing when he was told that his servant, Uriah, the husband of Bathsheba, was killed in battle...
In that case he should have no objection to the state performing executions. It is just part of life, you know...
I'm so VERY SURE Mr. Cummings uttered the same sentiments when Obama's "son" Trayvon Martin was killed.
does unRep. Elijah Cummings feel the same way about the deaths in Boston or Newtown? How did this country fall so far that it has "Representatives" like this?
God help us!
It seems the democrats would rather believe the testimony of men who were not there and would lie to protect the guilty than believe men who were there and were lucky to survive.
Cummings was a disgrace from the moment he opened his illiterate mouth, and the rest are no better. His words "death is a part of life and we must make life a part of death. Blatant stupidity.
Rep Maloney was demonic in her defense of Clinton and Rep Issa cut her off at the knees which had me applauding. She sat there with her mouth hanging open and her eyes bulging. I LOL.
It seems like the dems are falling more on media reporting than actual fact. They look like the demonic fools they are. They are trying to save Clinton so she can run in 2016.
Hopefully he'll remember the shame of that utterance when one of his loved ones dies.
The Dem party is reprehensible.
Cummings is a stupid old man and has been for years. Before that, he was just stupid.
I watched that sorry dung heap this morning.
He kept saying he respected the Whistleblowers, but in effect he called them liars. Later they brought forth another slice of the same dung Cumming is when they had Eleanor Holmes Norton make her appearance.
Cummings said in so many words that he had already listened to Hillary and knew the truth, it was a waste of his time listening to these fellows. but he respected them. What a fool. Fool?? No Tool.
Sure is for abortion murderer "doctor" Gossell or whatever the hell his name is.
Is being dragged into the streets and sodomized by a mob part of "life"?
Natural death is part of the normal cycle of life but no one would say such a thing even upon the passing of an elderly relative.
Murder by jihadi abetted by Obamaccomplicity is anything but.
Elijah Cummings, Major Owen, John Conyers, James Clyburn, Alcee Hastings, Jesse Jackson Jr.....is there a pattern here?
I accused Elijah of having a single digit I.Q. here yesterday. Another FReeper corrected me that it was a lot lower than that. That FReeper was right. It's morons like Cummings who have America falling apart at the seams. To save this country, we are going to have to convince voters that they need to THINK before they vote!
Delightful. And we get it on video, to replay it over and over. Thankful for his arrogant stupidity—he thinks he can get away with anything because he's black.
I think he was trying to say murder.
all we heard form the left was innocent lives being lost but when their messiah goes and starts a war in Libya which had nothing to do with us ten all is OK and even if some Americans die ten so be it.
I frigging hate these cowardly scumbags and their hypocrisy
