(Robotic-assisted Cardiac Surgery, Robotic Heart Surgery, da Vinci Surgery)
Robotic cardiac surgery is a form of heart surgery performed through very small incisions in the chest. With the use of tiny instruments and robotic devices, surgeons are able to perform several types of heart surgery in a way that is much less invasive than other types of heart surgery. The procedure is sometimes called da Vinci surgery because that is the name of the manufacturer of the robot often used for this procedure.
Robotic surgeries have been used for a number of different heart-related procedures, including valve surgery, coronary artery bypass, cardiac tissue ablation, heart defect repair, and tumor removal.
The main advantage of robotic cardiac surgery is that the procedure is minimally invasive compared with other forms of heart surgery. Smaller incisions mean that you can heal faster and return to activities more quickly.
Your doctor may recommend robotic cardiac surgery if you need an artery bypass procedure to improve blood flow to the heart and reduce chest pain. Your doctor may also use robotic cardiac surgery to:
Repair or replace stiff or leaky heart valves to improve their function
Correct atrial fibrillation, a common type of arrhythmia
Remove a tumor in the heart
Treat congenital heart conditions
Your doctor may have other reasons to recommend robotic cardiac surgery.
One of the main advantages of robotic cardiac surgery is that it minimizes many of the risks related to major heart surgery. The doctor does not have to cut through the breastbone to open your chest, so many of the complications involved with such a major surgery are eliminated.
Robotic cardiac surgery still requires anesthesia before the procedure and, as with any kind of surgery, there are always risks involved, including:
Heart attack
There may be other risks, depending on your specific medical condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your doctor before the procedure.
As with any surgical procedure, your doctor will do a full assessment of your health to make sure you are a good candidate for robotic heart surgery. Factors including your age, medical history, and lifestyle, as well as the overall severity of the disease, will determine whether you are a good candidate for the procedure.
The following is the general sequence of events that will most likely occur during robotic cardiac surgery:
You will be placed under general anesthesia for the surgical procedure and a breathing tube will be placed.
A surgeon will make a series of keyhole-sized incisions on the side of your chest. These incisions will align with the openings between your ribs.
Depending on the procedure being performed, several precision-guided robotic arms will be inserted into these incisions.
These robotic arms hold and manipulate tiny instruments in order to perform the required tasks on the heart or surrounding arteries.
A tiny video camera will be inserted into another incision to provide a magnified, three-dimensional image of the operating site.
The surgeon will control the robotic arms and camera from a special console located within the operating room.
On completion of surgery, the surgeon will remove the instruments and close the incisions.
Once the robotic cardiac surgery is complete, you will be moved to the recovery area to be monitored. You can expect a relatively short hospital stay to follow, usually half as long as that following conventional open heart surgery. Your doctors will typically discharge you once your pain is under control, you can retain liquids without nausea and vomiting, and you pass a number of lab tests.
The less invasive nature of robotic cardiac surgery also means that you can expect less scarring on your chest. Conventional heart surgery may leave a 10-inch scar on your chest. Robotic cardiac surgery just leaves a handful of smaller scars on the side of your chest.
Postsurgical pain also tends to go away much faster than with traditional procedures. After being discharged from the hospital, most patients can manage their pain with over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin).
You may also return to normal activities more quickly than you would after a conventional heart surgery. Most people can resume their normal activities after three weeks. Specific recommendations for activity will be provided by your doctor.
Your doctor will typically schedule follow-up appointments after the procedure to check your progress. Be sure to notify your doctor immediately if any symptoms occur after the procedure, such as chest pain or discomfort. Complications are rare after robotic heart surgery, but possible, so it is important to carefully monitor for any symptoms and report them to your doctor.

Four years ago a cute boy handed me a note during church...
"Dear Maegen,
So you know that i really like you. and we've talked about this train officially being on the tracks. so i'm just gonna be brutaly honest. nothing would make me happier right now. :)
lol... check yes or no
(little boxes under the yes and no)
Your almost boyfriend,
OK, so to explain it a little. The "dear Maegen" really needs no explication, and neither does the, "so you know that I really like you." The train he mentioned comes from when my dad asked me who was driving the crazy train, and Nathan and I talked about it and decided we're driving it together. The brutally honest bit was basically the theme of our relationship because we had both just come out of disappointing relationships and neither of us was interested in playing games. We still try to be "brutally honest" about everything we are feeling. The check yes or no comes from the George Strait song, which we both like. The almost boyfriend is from me calling him that after stealing his ring.
I could never have imagined where my life would go after I checked yes.
And I really couldn't be happier.
Unless Baden wanted to start sleeping through the night...

Which Wheelchair Vans Are Right For Me?
Choosing the right wheel chair van can be a little overwhelming. While manufacturer preference, e.g., Dodge, Chrysler, Honda, or Toyota, will certainly play a role, keep in mind that there are several other important factors that you'll want to consider. This guide will be a useful starting point in your search, but remember that the best way to determine which accessible vehicle best meets your needs is to visit your local BraunAbility dealer.
Is the Wheelchair or Scooter User Ambulatory?
If the Wheelchair or Scooter user is ambulatory, in other words, they can physically transfer from the wheelchair or scooter to another seat, a device, called a power seat base, can be installed in your existing vehicle by a BraunAbility dealer. If the Wheelchair or Scooter user is either not ambulatory or their disability might be progressive, a wheelchair accessible van might be the best choice.
Side or Rear Entry Wheelchair Van?
Most wheelchair vans are converted to become wheelchair or scooter accessible by lowering some or all of the vehicle's floor. BraunAbility side-entry vans either have the entire floor lowered (Entervan or Rampvan) or a portion of the floor from the rear of the front seats to the back of the van (CompanionVan). Rear-entry vans (Vision) have a much smaller portion of the floor lowered. Several areas highlight the differences between side and rear entry vans.
Wheelchair Van Ramps – Fold-out or In-floor?
How you use your wheelchair accessible vehicle will determine which is best for you. The Infloor Ramp retracts into the floor itself, leaving the doorway open. This may be important if you frequently travel with ambulatory passengers. With the ramp stored below the floor you do lose a bit of headroom, which may be an issue for taller wheelchair users. The Foldout Ramp may be a good choice for taller individuals, or if you do not require ambulatory access through the sliding door. Simple manual operation is also a helpful feature of the Foldout Ramp. To determine which van ramps will work best for you, discuss the pros and cons of each system with your Ability Specialist. Please note that the Infloor ramp is only available on the Toyota Rampvan Xi.
What are the Physical Measurements of the Wheelchair or Scooter User?
Knowing the dimensions of your wheelchair or scooter is critical to the selection process. Before you visit your BraunAbility dealer, take a moment to measure:
Compare these dimensions with the chart below, and you will get a rough idea of which conversion and which chassis you should consider. Keep in mind, however, that the tape measure does not tell the whole story – there is no substitute for trying out a wheelchair vehicle at your local BraunAbility dealer.
BraunAbility Side Entry Wheelchair Vans
Note: All dimensions in inches unless otherwise noted.
Vision Rear Entry Wheelchair Vans
Note: All dimensions in inches unless otherwise noted.
eSSENTIAL Accessibility and the wheelchair/computer symbol are registered trade-marks of eSSENTIAL Accessibility Inc. in Canada and select locations.

Do you ever get the feeling that life is full of unexpected challenges - the joys, disappointments and the occasional crossroad made a bit more complicated by the speed humps, diversions and jams?
Rafael Epstein's 'Life and other catastrophes' segment is just for you.
Each week we take you by the hand through the various complications we find in our daily lives.
Monday at 3:30pm on 774 Melbourne's Drive with Rafael Epstein you're invited to join the conversation with Dr Jane Fisher, the Jean Hailes Professor of Women's Mental Health at Monash University, for Life and Other Catastrophes.
Together, Rafael and Jane explore the rollercoaster of life: from how to bring up and deal with sensitive matters in our daily lives - having a baby, who does which bit of the unpaid work, how to help teenagers use alcohol safely or how to cope with infertility - to practical everday suggestions for dealing issues like managing unsettled and crying babies, managing difficult relationships with the grownups in your life or the challenges and benefits of life as a happily single person.
Get involved with the discussion each Monday as Rafael and Jane wrestle with the issues which complicate and sometimes dominate our lives - and feel free to drop us a line for your own suggestions on which topic we should tackle next.

I wouldn't even watch her sex tape. And you know that's coming soon.
I barely have time to breath & eat..answer is no
What it says about our society can't be uttered in polite society. How stupid are we anyway? How low can we go? How mind-numbing do we need to be? HECK NO.
No, and it p*sses me off that Lifetime's wasting time on it. If they really don't want to be considered just another frivolous emptyheaded women's channel, this is a wrong move.
She has a show already?
I watch it.
When I heard about it, I was thinking to myself WHAT.THE.FXCK. then I watched an episode anyway, and it's kind of a little bit not so completely terrible. She got in a fight with a 50 year old gay guy in a bar who yelled out that her mom was a *****. mildly amusing to see how she handled herself. I don't plan on watching it again, but I had to at least see it once.
I got some toenails that need chewing that night ..So im gonna have to pass.....DARN IT!!!
Why does it not surprise me that its on lifetime ...
I'll give it a shot, as long as I have ear plugs and blinders on.
Should be a good way to promote population control then. Hey I see a positive with this already. LOL
no way.
Zero interest in that. I swear they can make a reality show about absolutely anything these days.

On my travels in and around Menifee, I pass through the intersection at Menifee Road and Holland Road quite often. As a strange phenomenon, I have noticed that many motorists seem to be unaware that this is a 4-way stop, even though it is clearly marked. What I mean is, that many, many of them just glide on through without stopping.
I have been at this intersection at all different times of day to witness this. But to be certain that it wasn't just something I see, I talked with some of the sign twirlers who work on this corner. They have conveyed to me that 1 out of every 5 cars stop, at best. And most of those "stops" are the infamous "California Rolling Stop".
This intersection is right in between 2 elementary schools and one middle school. I see children here quite often. How is it that these motorists can be in such a hurry, and be so careless?
The day that frustrated me most was the day that I saw a school bus stopped not far from the corner, with it's stop sign blinking and red lights flashing. I watched car after car breeze through the intersection, and then continue on to pass the school bus! The stop sign that extends out from the side of the bus was flashing, and yet one motorist after another ignored this, and went right on by.
C'mon folks. Where are you going that you cannot stop at a 4-way stop? Or better yet, for a school bus with children disembarking? There must be other intersections in Menifee where this is happening, I am certain. Now, I know you, the reader, would never do this, so please, to your neighbor, pass it on. . . STOP MEANS STOP!

It's not just Menifee Rd and Holland. It's not just in Menifee. This problem exists everywhere. I own and ride a motorcycle as my means of transportation. More than once, I have had to take evasive actions to avoid hitting a vehicle who has not stopped at a stop sign (or for that matter, even red lights). Unless there is a law enforcement person who witnesses this violation, or a red light camera catches a vehicle on film, I don't see how this can ever be stopped. Another hazard that effects drivers; lack of the use of turn signals. People just make turns, lane changes, etc. without using their turn signals. Again, this is a real hazard to the other motorist or pedestrian, when a vehicle just turns without warning. I look at it as, I can't change another person's driving habits, so I have to be a better defensive driver. It's just to bad more of these people aren't cited for moving violations.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 05, 2008 4:36 PM
Brian, you bring up a great point in that there is not much that can be done other than contacting the CHP about more moving violations. This is an issue that hopefully the city council will address and resolve.ReplyDelete
I would also like to make sure that the readers here understand that it doesn't matter which side of the street you are on, you must stop for a school bus when the red lights are flashing, even if it is old and doesn't have a stop sign, you must stop if the red lights are flashing. I don't know if there is an exception when there is a center median and you are on the opposite side.

The intersection of Holland & Menifee Roads is a problem area. Law enforcement is aware of it and that includes CHP, the MSJC PD, and the soon to be new Menifee PD. I have contacted the County several times over this intersection and one thing that came to light from my discussion with them is the speed limit running north & south on Menifee Road is higher than what the County approved. Those speed limit signs should be changing soon from 50 mph down to 40 mph.ReplyDelete
The County is also aware of the request to assess the need for a traffic light and additional signage at that intersection. Mr. Tai at the County transportation office is working on that assessment with his staff. I can also assure you that the new City Council is aware of this intersection.
I conducted an informal pedestrian survey at that intersection in February of this year. It took me three days and I posted myself at the intersection at times to coincide with arrival and dismal of schools. The data that I gathered from this survey was given to Mr. Tai at the County office and resulted in the speed limit issue being addressed. The School District also used this survey to determine the number of crossing guards that were placed at that intersection.
Regrettably, none of the foregoing will prevent the "California Rolling Stops" that I too observed routinely during my three day survey. The only solution will be a traffic light AND possibly enforcement cameras!
Once we get to October 1st and we control our own law enforcement, we will be able to better enforce that intersection and hold motorists accountable for their actions.

We live on the corner by a stop sign in the Summerhouse track in Menifee. It's off of Scott Road past Lindenberger. It's a neighborhood for God's sake and people roll through that stop and then better than that they speed on the street. I have a 4 year old son and I constantly worry about him when he is on the sidewalk on his bike. Who can I call to help enforce the rolling stops and speeding through the neighborhood?ReplyDelete

I am glad this is being talked about. Ridgemoor and Murrieta road is a huge problem. Again, at the time Ridgemoor school starts the parents returning to the Pete Peterson and the Lazy Creek neighborhoods do not stop! I am all for cameras. And, to the poster who mentioned their 4 year old on the sidewalk with a bicycle, I would not let mine on any sidewalk in Menifee with a bicycle at that age.ReplyDelete
I think that Traffic Cameras to at least get those that are running red lights is a great idea. I know of at least 5 intersections just on newport road that are in desperate need of them. Besides, that would bring in some good revenue to the new city especially if they charge the $300+ that Murrieta and Temecula Charge. since people are in such a rush that they have no regard for others as they run the red light then maybe they should help fund the new police dept with their red light tickets.ReplyDelete

Red light cameras at all major intersections would bring in a HUGE amount of money to the new city. The cost to install them would pay for themselves in less than a month!!!!!!!!!!!!ReplyDelete

On the subject, a couple of years ago my daughter's school had their science fair. One of the projects that I thought was OUTSTANDING is a child who did an experiment on drivers who ran through the stop sign on her street. She spent XX amount of days tracking down the number of cars that traveled through and presented her observations.ReplyDelete
It was really astonishing what her experiment showed. I was just one of many parents standing there staring at her numbers, in shock! It really opened up my eyes - I think especially coming from this 10 year old.
I know the problem exists, in all areas, not just Menifee. Her project helped me to see it and recognize that I have done it.
I hope that child got an A+ on her report.
Thank you to Mr. Mann for bringing attention to it from your level. I appreciate it.
In response to the comment from September 05, 2008 at 9:26 PM:ReplyDelete
The commenter has a valid point about the intersection at Murrieta and Ridgemoor. But its happening more often than just when parents are returning from dropping off or picking up students. The scary thing is, that is an intersection that is lucky enough to have a traffic signal, yet people still don't come to a complete stop. Scarier still is the fact that, because of the bushes on the northwest side of the street, it is essentially a blind intersection. That reason alone is enough to make both me and my wife come to a complete stop when the light is red. And we happen to be parents that find ourselves returning to the "Pete Peterson" neighborhood.
And since we are on the topic, I would like to bring up two more intersections - Murrieta/Park City (by Pete Peterson Park) and Murrieta/Lazy Creek.
The intersection and Murrieta and Park City is one of those infamous four way stops where most of the people traveling north or south tend to roll through the intersection. Fortunately, both the CHP and Sheriff's Department are aware of this and they take a proactive approach at catching the drivers going through the intersection. Hard to believe that it has only been a few years since the county finally made that a four way stop - it used to be that traffic on Murrieta Rd. did not have to stop.
Murrieta and Lazy Creek is another story altogether. It is still a 2 way stop. I don't normally use Lazy Creek to exit the neighborhood, but there have been occasions where it has been more convenient for one reason or another. During certain times of the day, a person can find themselves sitting there waiting to turn for what seems like an eternity. In reality, the longest I have ever had to wait is about two minutes, but I'm sure everybody that commutes or has ever commuted knows what I mean when I say it felt like an eternity. And in my opinion, two minutes is far longer than a person should have to wait to make a right or left turn.
Both of these intersections can realistically use traffic signals. If we can't get traffic signals, then maybe the city can explore the possibility of making Murrieta and Lazy Creek a four way stop (along with crosswalks).

Individual citizens get out there and video the corner during busy times in all those areas..then send copies to heads of law enforcement and the city council..via emails. We have the power lets use it to our benefit. We will defintely catch repeat offenders and even get some on a ticket. Make sure your digital is properly time stamped. I will be out there and around my kids school doing the same...See you on the corners.ReplyDelete

At Murietta and Holland if you are coming up to the sign and someone beats you they usually run it thinking that you can't run it first. It happens all of the time due to the lack of enforcement and short staffing around hee.ReplyDelete

A great deal of these people are simply a product of their sociopathic upbringing and environment. They do not feel that the rules and laws that apply to others, apply to themselves. Therefore, when we see individuals who choose not to stop or drivers still not using a handsfree device while driving, it's a matter of "the rules do not apply to me".ReplyDelete
Can you change these people? Usually not. Can you hold them accountable for their actions? Absolutely! It will however require a more focused effort from law emforcement, concerned citizens and the city council.

I used to see a MSJCPD officer at this intersection almost every night. I noticed he pulled over many people while on my nightly walks. I have not seen this officer or any officer lately. Guess all the whinning about the MSJCPD going off campus has prevened them from looking for the traffic violators.ReplyDelete

Ok, what about in front of Ralphs?? OMG people risk their lives just to get out of there. A light there seems logical, or don't allow U turns at Sunstream.ReplyDelete
Their are very rude driviers out there. These folk don't realize they will be put in jail, if the ran over a child. In the 80's mom mom was driving down the residental street, when a child ran out in front of her, the child was ok and my mom was driving the speed limit, had she been speeding, totally different story.

I completely agree with the poster. "Stop means stop!" Unfortunately, however, there is little we can do until the City of Menifee starts their own police department. Until then we must rely on the MSJC Police Department. I drive through that intersection daily and always see one of their units monitoring that intersection (and the one at Craig and Menifee with the downhill slope). Incidentally, the MSJC P.D. have been doing a fine job for our community by picking up the slack for the Riverside County Sheriff. I know of several residents and business owners in the Menifee area who have the personal cell phone numbers of the MSJC police officers and call them routinely for help. C.H.P. is rarely seen and the Riverside Sheriffs don't have enough cars in the area to handle their work load- much less an intersection. They are handling radio calls. The quicker we get a Menifee Police Department the sooner we'll be able to correct issues like this.ReplyDelete

Be careful what you say. You just might get what you asked for! I seem to remember not too long ago many of the residents (probably some posting on here and Ann Motte) were complaining about the MSJC Police. Now that they have been reeled in by their chief and college administrators they have become "reactive" in stead of "PROactive." A proactive police officer would be watching that intersection (like they were before). But all the anti-Police folks on here complained and now look what they got! Deal with it!ReplyDelete
I am all for Red the Light cameras, please install them in every traffic light post. I know they are expensive but with the number of offenders here, the new city will be able to recoup the cost in no time.ReplyDelete
Also, to our City council - Four Way Stop Signs are a thing of the past, they did not work before we incorporated and they are obviously not working now. Please prioritize the installation of 1) Side-walks, Bike-lanes and 2) Traffic Lights around our schools, please raise taxes (for funding this projects) if you must in order to safeguard our youths.

To poster "the last thing we need are cameras": How could you say that in good conscience?? Apparently you too think this is all overblown? Well my friend, just stop and talk to ANY crossing guard at the school crossings ! They must endure getting the kids safely across while at the same time trying to watch for stop-sign runners, redlight runners and impatient people blowing at them or making snide comments with rolled-down windows because "you're holding up traffic"! Keeping a pad to write down offenders license is impossible; you're busy trying to protect the kids. Periodically, an officer will station himself nearby (after being asked by the crossing guard who has had too many close calls to the kids lives); its mindboggling how many tickets the officer writes just during the crossing hours. Then, drivers pay attention for a FEW days; then their habits kick back in and they start all over again. So bring on the cameras - Saving the life of just one child is worth it all. Again, IF you wonder if this is a serious or 'overblown' situation, just ask any crossing guard!!ReplyDelete

Your choice, a few bucks for a LIFE!!! Come on people make sacrifices (cut on cigarettes or beer money or any other unnecesarry expenses). I dont have anything againts smoking and drinking(just dont drive, then it is personal). Bottom line for me is, if it is for the safety of our children/community I am all for it. You can earn that money back again, unlike life when it's taken, it's gone.

The revenue that Red Light cameras would bring to the new city as well as the added safety for everyone would be perfect.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 10, 2008 4:25 PM
The revenue from the cameras should make them pay for themselves. I think the city would need to research where they would be most beneficial and cost effective before they go installing them at every stop light. Menifee does need to make improvements in the area of traffic, from enforcement to hazard and flow but it needs to be done responsibly.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 12, 2008 12:08 PM
Yes, I believe that this is being blown way outta line. honestly I believe this whole topic was brought up by the council elect or their associates, just to get the soft headed people around here worked up for these revenue generators. They do nothing but bring traffic to a stand still. Honestly you people wait half a green light to go no, how long will you wait at a camera? Traffic will be moving 1 car at a time.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 12, 2008 5:21 PM
To the genius who posted on 9/12/08. Menifee Tina posts a regular blog every Friday. She is a Menifee resident who is in no way affiliated with the city council. It is unfortunate that traffic is not moving fast enough for you. You must be an individual that this blog was meant to bring attention to. Stop Means Stop chum!!ReplyDelete
As far as the "soft headed people" comment- what does that make you?
Obviously someone who feels the rules don't apply to him.

I recently started using Ethanac as an exit point to my home and unknowing failed to stop at the Ethanac/Murrieta 4-way stop there, consequently CHP was kind enough to point this out to me with written documentation. I went back during the morning to view the area and noted that the Ethanac W/B turn to Murrieta no longer has the stop bar paint on the ground and that the stop sign itself is semi-hidden behind the telephone pole. My hopes that the city will address these type issues because I've been noticing more and more of these same poor quality road conditions through out Sun City and other soon to be Menifee city areas.ReplyDelete
- titanbearSeptember 14, 2008 12:29 PM
On a side note: I would also like to say I enjoy seeing the oldie moldies driving their golf carts around Sun City. Will this become and issue for them if the Sheriff starts enforcing vehicular codes in town. I'd like to purchase an electric golf cart myself and save on gas and drive into town. Any thoughts on this?ReplyDelete

I think mostly it is the elderly to blame. We've all seen Grampa Joe with his jaw hanging open and flies going in and out of his mouth as he drives down the road. If he cant muster the strength to close his jaw or even hear his wife having a heart attack in the passenger seat, then how could he have the ability to keep his eyes open when approaching a stop sign. Scares me!!ReplyDelete

Bills' Marrone had cancerous mole removed
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Apr 22 2014 11:08PM
The Buffalo Bills announced on Tuesday evening that head coach Doug Marrone had a scare with cancer. The coach released the following statement, revealing he had a cancerous mole:
"During a recent doctor's visit, it was discovered that I had a cancerous mole on my skin, which has since been removed. The only follow up required is to have my moles checked every 3 months and that basically is the end of the story. The recent extraction procedure will have no effect on my ability to coach the team moving forward."

Way to keep it interesting!
I like this song with that it changes how it's chords are used (not repetitive). However, it's gonna need a some low frequencies for my subwoofer to ice the cake.
Rated 4 / 5 stars January 29, 2012
Nice beat!
This was a very uplifting House tune, mate. The wah-wah effect on the chords certainly kept me interested.
My only comments about this song is that it doesn't have a strong bass. I only hear frequencies from the low mids to the highs. If you could fix that, this track will sound crispy and clean like hell.
Have a good one.

New Zealanders worried about the exodus of Kiwis to Australia should spare a thought for their Commonwealth cousins in Britain.
More than 3.5 million people left the UK permanently in the 10 years to 2011, according to the Office for National Statistics.
And of these 2 million were of working age, forcing employers to rely on immigrant workers flooding into the country in their droves.
Migration Watch UK says net immigration quadrupled to nearly 200,000 a year between 1997 and 2009, with more than 3 million immigrants arriving since 1997.
The migration watchdog says the population of the UK will grow by over 7 million to 70 million in the next 16 years, 5 million through immigration.
The European Union's freedom of movement legislation opened the floodgates for thousands of Poles and other Eastern Europeans to enter Britain in 2004.
Their numbers are expected to be boosted dramatically later this year when Romanians and Bulgarians are granted the same freedom of movement rights.
Migration Watch UK is predicting this will result in 250,000 extra immigrants arriving in Britain over a five-year period.
At crisis point
The social and economic effects are enormous, with some towns already at crisis point, swamped with immigrants.
The gravity of the situation was brought home during a live television debate on the BBC last week.
Angered by a Cambridge University academic dismissing claims that migrants were overwhelming the Lincolnshire town of Boston, a member of the audience put a flea in her ear.
In an impassioned speech Rachel Bull, herself a resident of Boston, said: "Boston is at breaking point. All the locals can't cope any more.
"You go down to Boston High Street and it's just like you're in a foreign country. It's got to stop. The services are at breaking point."
Mrs Bull (35), an office manager, says she doesn't blame the migrants.
"It's not their fault. They are only doing what the law allows them to do, which is come over here and work.
"I blame the government for not realising the impact it's having on ordinary people – or managing it.
"The politicians in London and the academics are living in another world. They have no idea of what effect their policies are having," she said.
Over the past 10 years an influx of mainly Eastern Europeans has increased the population of Boston by 15%.
According to the Daily Mail, most come looking for work picking cauliflowers, leeks, sprouts and beetroot in Lincolnshire's vast fields.
The newspaper says officially there are 61,000 people living in the market town, which in medieval times was at the heart of the English wool trade.
However, the borough council believes the true figure is more like 70,000.
Compared to the UK, New Zealand had an overall net loss of 4120 migrants in the August 2012 year, continuing a trend that has gone on since the October 2011 year.
The record annual net loss to Australia of 39,956 was offset by net gains of migrants from most other countries including the UK (5400), China (5200), and India (5100).

EAST LANSING, Mich. - Michigan State women's basketball senior Kalisha Keane was one of 20 student-athletes announced to the final 2011 John R. Wooden Award ballot, released today by the Wooden Award National Advisory Board and The Los Angeles Athletic Club.
Keane became the first Spartan to be named Big Ten Player of the Year earlier this month. She also was selected to the First Team All-Big Ten, earning all-conference honors for the fourth-straight season. Keane leads MSU in scoring with 15.9 points per game, also ranking second in assists (2.1) and steals (2.4), and third in rebounds (5.0). She also leads the team with 2.1 3-pointers a game.
Keane was one of three Big Ten student-athletes on the list, joining Ohio State's Jantel Lavender and Northwestern's Amy Jaeschke.
The 35th annual Wooden Award ceremony, which will include the announcement of the men's and women's Wooden Award winners, will take place April 8, 2011 at The Los Angeles Athletic Club. The Wooden Award Men's and Women's All American Teams will be announced the week of the "Elite Eight" round during the NCAA Tournament.
About the John R. Wooden Award
Since its inception, the John R. Wooden Award has contributed close to a million dollars to universities' general scholarship fund in the names of the All American recipients. The Award has also sent more than 1,000 underprivileged children to week-long college basketball camps in the Award's name. Additionally, the John R. Wooden Award partners with Special Olympics Southern California (SOSC) each year to host the Wooden Award Special Olympics Southern California Basketball Tournament.

Max Ophüls
It had been observed that Max Ophüls is a director of "fours" - before WWII, he made films in four countries in four languages (German, Dutch, Italian and French); fleeing the Nazis to Hollywood, he directed four films in the late 1940s; and, returning to Europe, he made four films in France. Such a schematic pattern resulted from a confluence of fate, history, art and person, which also gave rise to one of the most extravagant, evocative, powerful and distinct body of works in cinema history.
Ophüls was an auteur before auteurism existed, a globalist before globalism was a catch phrase and a "womenist" before feminism was valued.
In concert with the showing of Ophüls' Letter from an Unknown Woman (1948) in August, part of the Critics Choice programme presented by our sister organization the Film Programmes Office, the Hong Kong Film Archive is screening two restored films of the master in June & July.
The contents of the programme do not represent the views of the presenter.

Nothing like a high five to get me running faster! I think everyone should get high fives. Daily!
High five
(Source: runfar-liftheavy-loveaton)

(Source: thefitmiss)
I've been taking progress pictures since I started working with my personal trainer in April. This morning I looked at where my body was then to where it is NOW and man, it's noticeable. While I haven't lost a significant amount of weight, I've been toning and building muscle! Showed my husband and he was duly impressed (and also said that he should take some pictures too since he started working with Ron three weeks ago). (And he suggested that he takes pictures of me. Perv.)
I'm going into my fourth month of working with Ron and while there are times that I second guess my muscles abilities, I'm never EVER at the point where I wouldn't want to do what I'm doing. My mind is ALL IN.
That said, I'm sore all over and my forearms really hurt from doing cleans yesterday. With just the bar. I know.
Last day of school for the kidlets!!!

Today's Weather Didn't Rain On MAAR's Q3 Parade
The Memphis Area Association of Realtors (MAAR) quarterly report Tuesday afternoon contained the usual data and graphs, but also a message an esteemed panel of brokers wanted to drive home: infectious optimism.
Total sales in Shelby County, Fayette and Tipton counties dropped 20.6 percent from the third quarter of 2009 to 2010, according to MAARdata. Average prices declined 5.9 percent, falling to $130,828, and median price decreased 8.2 percent to $38,561.
And while new home sales dipped a whopping 36.7 percent, the cloud's silver lining shows sales price rose 3.1 percent to $216,545. Also, bank sales declined 21.7 percent.
In a slide called, "The Not Top 10," information and research director Don Wade pointed out that Memphis ranks the 5th worst city with September price reductions – along with Albuquerque, N.M. and Boston – at a 35 percent decrease. The no. 1 city was Minneapolis at 43 percent, according to trulia.com.
The percentage of job seekers relocating has also showed a signification dip in recent years, from 16.1 percent in 2006's Q3, to 13.4 percent in 2009 and 6.9 in 2010. To put it in perspective, the percentage of job "relocators" in 1986 was 40 percent, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc.
Average time on the market has also increased nationally, yet another glum aspect of the recession. As of Oct. 15, the majority of housing units, 241, spent a minimum of 121 days on the market. The average time spent by all units was 108.64 days.
Other noteworthy tidbits were revealed in an 8-page questionnaire the National Association of Realtors sent out in July to 111,004 buyers and sellers who had a transaction between July 2009 and June 2010, where 8,449 usable responses were generated.
And the survey says? First-time buyers plan to stay for 10 years and repeat buyers plan to hold their property for 15 years. Also, the vast majority of recent home buyers – 85 percent – view their home as a good investment, and nearly half think it is a better investment than stocks.
More than half of first-time homebuyers – 56 percent – financed their purchase with a Federal Housing Authority loan.
Interestingly enough, for-sale-by-owner transactions reached a record low of 9 percent, down from 11 percent in 2009. Sixty-four percent of sellers chose their agent based on a referral or had used the same agent in the past, and 35 percent cited reputation as the most important factor in choosing an agent.
And a panel of four brokers were there to attest to that: Christy Stokes, area manager with First American Home Buyers Protection Corporation; Judy Skinta, broker of Prudential Collins-Maury Inc.'s Collierville office; Sue Stinson Turner, managing broker of Crye-Leike Realtor's Germantown office; and Leon Dickson, Benchmark at Southwind LLC's senior managing broker.
The "motivation panel discussion" began with Dickson, who said his main concern was how to his agents' spirits up, focusing on what we can change rather than the depressing numbers. The market has already corrected itself to a certain degree, he said, using the analogy that the real estate market was in the seventh inning of a baseball game with "a few more innings to go."
Turner agreed, saying she wasn't "putting her head in the sand like an ostrich," and encouraged the other brokers and agents to do the same. The beauty of Memphis, she said, is that unlike areas such as Florida, we never see a huge rise in prices, and the three percent increase has remained steady over the years.
Turner also stressed the importance of being "the messenger," by bringing in new strategies into each office.
And that team environment was at the heart of Skinta's speech.
"Making it alone is not going to be easy," Skinta said.
In fact, 2010 has been Prudential Collins-Maury's Collierville office's best year yet, and Skinta attributed that collaboration to the success.
And while the numbers weren't where real estate professional would like for them to be, Stokes was bullish about the future.
"Those numbers aren't zero," Stokes said, adding that numbers often make us over think ourselves.
"KISS," or "Keep It Simple, Stupid," also seemed to a key point in the getting-back-to-the-basics discussion. Attending education classes and seminars is the perfect seed to plant for success, Dickson said, while also setting short-term goals to aid in the process.
Tricks of the trade such as sending handwritten thank you notes and calling to check up on clients were encouraged from the audience. For Turner, it's all personal.
"Focus your agency on task-oriented achievements," Turner said. "It's the little things that make a difference."

The search for the perfect Christmas tree can be daunting - you know the perfect pre-lit artificial tree. But there are some traditionalists who want the real deal. And as NewsChannel 11 discovered they are getting harder to find in Lubbock.
Most of us will be rockin' around our Christmas tree this season - our pre lit artificial trees that is.
It seems the days of scouring a Christmas tree lot are quickly becoming a thing of the past. But there are some traditionalists who refuse to go plastic.
So where exactly can you find the real deal?
"We've sold almost 400 trees this year just in the past two months," says Tap Giblin, the assistant manager at Sutherland's.
Sutherland's is one of the dozen or so stores in Lubbock offering real Christmas trees.
"This year we stocked up a little better and we've been able to sell more because we had them in stock," says Giblin.
Sutherland's must be on Santa's good list because only 20 trees remain to be sold.
Artificial trees are designed to look like the real deal but the best way to spot an imposter is by taking a look at the price.
"We just want to make them affordable to everybody every year and we want to sell a lot of trees so we sell accordingly," says Ronnie McCann, with Lowe's Family Center.
At Lowe's Family Center real trees cost $25 to $50. An artificial pre lit tree will run you anywhere from $100 to $500.
Lowe's sells both types of trees and managers say they've noticed a specific trend.
"We sell a lot more fresh trees than we do artificial," says McCann.
Bah humbug say the people we spoke to.
"We have a fake tree," says one holiday shopper.
"We used to have a real tree for years and then I decided to make it easy on myself," says another holiday shopper.
"My husband doesn't like the scent of a real tree," says a holiday shopper.
So while artificial tree lots may be disappearing, you can still rock around the Christmas tree. You just have to know where to look.
Most of the retail stores selling Christmas trees will be reducing their prices within the next week.
You can find real Christmas trees at Lowe's Family Store on 82nd and Slide and 34th and Quaker. Also you can find real Christmas trees at Sutherland's and Little Red Riding Hood.

Thoughts on walking with Godby Pastor Mike Ramsdell
Throughout the years many have attempted to paint a picture of God. Some see God as angry. Some see him as fatherly. Some see him with lightning bolts in his hands, others as a pointing, judging finger. He is often seen as a man with a white beard who sits in the clouds.
But when the Bible paints a picture of God, it is often very different. When God chooses the words that paint a portrait of himself that he wants to give us, it often looks like the following words, Psalm 23.
The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
He restores my soul;
He guides me in the paths of righteousness
For His name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You have anointed my head with oil;
My cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
In the thought today, I simply want to say this: the last few days I have been saying this psalm throughout the day. It has brought me closer to God and opened up the relationship I have with God. I realized that often my walk with God is attempting to encourage God to guarantee an outcome I want, even altruistic outcomes. This psalm reminds me it is walking with God that is most important. If for us walking with God is a success, then no one and nothing can prevent a successful life.
May Psalm 23 guide your walk with God today and every day.

Faith makes the future your friendby Pastor Mike Ramsdell
For the last few weeks, I have been thinking a great deal about faith and how important it is for the Christian. Jesus certainly talked about it a great deal. The book of Romans even tells us we are saved by our faith.
Just what is faith and why is it so important? For many, their efforts are spent — usually uselessly— trying to get all their ducks in a row, that if they can get every part of their lives in perfect order and then get their future as secure as possible, then they can have peace, be happy and go on and live their lives. Unfortunately, this pretty much never happens. The ducks refuse to get in a row, and the future still looks uncertain to us. We find fear our way more than peace, anxiety more than confidence. This way of being impacts us, our relationships and the choices we make. The future becomes our enemy, and this enemy is always just in front of us, not a fun way to live.
Faith makes the future your friend
The Bible tells us we are to "walk by faith and not by sight." This is hard. We practice every day living by what we can see, getting our bearings, focusing on landmarks, making sure we don't trip, etc. We practice a great deal walking by our sight. But we typically don't practice faith very much — until we need it — then we are not very good walking by it.
What is faith?
It is trust in God, a God who holds us and our future in his hand. Trust is as good as what we place it in. "Is God trustworthy?" might be the question. Is God all-wise? I think he is. Is God all-loving? I think he is. Is God all-powerful? I think he is. If so, God must be trustworthy. How does God let us know he is all-loving, powerful and wise? How does God let us know he can be trusted with our future?
God intersected our world and our lives at our point of greatest need and greatest weakness. He came in Christ and healed the sick, cast out demons, calmed storms and fed the hungry. He taught the good news of God's kingdom. He, as God's perfect Son, died willingly on the cross for our sins, and then three days later his broken body was raised from the dead, a resurrection that now changes the future.
This God has proven we can trust him with our future. Even death does not win for those who place their faith in God.
To me, this means that if God can be trusted to save me from my sins and with the certainty of my own death, then God can be trusted with all my future. Peace.
I practice this because I want to be good at it. I need to get better at it, but I am trying.
Faith makes the future your friend.

Senior Pastor
Thoughts on faithby Pastor Mike Ramsdell
Matthew 6:33 says, "Look for the kingdom of God first, and you will discover everything you really need." This is my paraphrase, but I think it reflects well the heart of the entire chapter, a chapter written to people who have a tendency to worry too much, a people who have a tendency to live in fear of the uncertainty of tomorrow.
Jesus gave us many commands, but three stand out that are often missed:
- Do not be afraid.
- Do not be anxious.
- Do not doubt.
The Bible teaches a different way, teaching ideas like "we walk by faith and not by sight," "the just shall live by faith," "now faith is being sure of what we hope for, and certain of what we do not see." This is just a flavoring of many verses about faith in the Bible.
I think many people are driven by fear and worry, often making their decisions and operating their lives based on their fear of a seeming uncertain future and their worry that they might lose what they have. This grips too many people today and sometimes leaves them in a quagmire, makes them feel helpless and causes them to stagnate in their faith.
Jesus addressed this very human bent in Matthew Chapter 6, and here I offer again a paraphrase of the last verse.
"Look for the kingdom of God first, and you will find everything that really matters."
If we think we can deal with fear by running away from the things we are afraid of, if we think we can deal with worry by finding complete security, if we think we can overcome doubt by having everything we want happen as we want, then we have missed the point of faith.
But when we realize nothing prevents us from experiencing the life in Christ that really matters — a life of faith, an eternal life, a life that makes a difference, a life that loves God and our neighbor, the life that Jesus teaches under the banner of faith . . .
It is looking for the kingdom of God; it is walking with God. The fallback position for fear, worry and doubt is to just walk with God, to trust God, to live for God, to serve God. Just walk with God. This is the one place where there is no room for fear and worry. It is where the Christ-life is to be lived. The one-word definition — faith.
Just walk with God, you will find everything that really matters.

A cause close to my heartby Pastor Mike Ramsdell
Sunday I spoke about the Run with Heart 2014 one-mile fun run/walk, the 5K run/walk and the half marathon sponsored by Methodist Mansfield Medical Center. Once again I am on the steering team for the second year of this event that attracted well over 1,000 people last year.
Some have asked how to sign up, so I wanted to share a few instructions.
First, I am excited that Pastor Caesar Rentie will be running with me along with many other friends.
Can you walk?
Yes, you can walk or run, though walking the half marathon will take a long time.
Where do you sign up?
Go to the Run with Heart 2014 website:
- Click on the "register now" link.
- Sign in.
- Select half marathon team, 5K team or one-mile fun run team.
- Enter the team name "First Methodist Church."
- Fill in the form.
- Make your payment as requested.
- At that point, you can add other family or friends as prompted.
Email me if you have any problems. We will be giving those running or walking the 5K or one mile a soft red In the City for the City shirt and those running the half marathon a bright red In the City for the City shirt.
You might ask why I am committed to this event. First, I love the idea of bringing a run like this to our own area, the first at this level. Second, I am on the Advisory Board of the hospital, as well as part of the steering team for Run with Heart 2014. Third, two summers ago my life was saved by the care of Methodist Mansfield Medical Center when I was suffering a heart attack. And of course, I believe in the cause — cardiac services — and a cause that is close to home. Emergency services for heart issues that are close by can make all the difference. So, this event makes a difference. Finally, I believe in activity at almost any level. In our sedentary world, many of us experience health issues because we are not living as God designed. We sit too much, eat too much and work too hard. These moments can get us kick-started enough to add healthy exercise and diet to our lives. This means we can serve each other, our families and God better.
I hope to see many of you this weekend as we celebrate the last of the message series, Saved, to Be a Disciple, the message is Good and Evil.

The invitation still standsby Pastor Mike Ramsdell
When Jesus came, the world was in a difficult and dangerous place. Israel, where Jesus began his ministry, was occupied by Rome. Enemy soldiers were everywhere. They had to pay taxes through traitors to their own country. The economy was in the pits. Poverty was rampant. There were no good doctors, so people with ill health were most often left to suffer with little hope. A large number of people in the Roman Empire were slaves. Only a few enjoyed the rights of citizenship. To add to this, Rome itself was constantly at war, either threatened by so-called barbarians or attacking them to expand their territory. The religious beliefs of Israel were at direct odds with the pagan idolatry of the Roman Empire. Fear and anxiety were a constant for everyone.
In the middle of this, God sent his Son, who said to people, "Come unto me," "Follow me, and I will make you a fisher of men," "Love God with all your heart, soul and mind, and love your neighbor like you love yourself." He never addressed the chaos of that world other than saying, "In this world you will have trouble, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." Rather than attempt to explain the world they lived in, he just said, "Follow me."
Jesus was already well-known, having worked a number of miracles and becoming an important rabbi in Nazareth, Capernaum and around the Sea of Galilee. A rabbi was another name for a Jewish teacher. There were many rabbis in Israel, but not like Jesus. When he entered the synagogue in Nazareth, his hometown, he was asked to read the scripture, a common practice for visiting rabbis. He read the words from Isaiah:
"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." Luke 4:18-19
Then after he gave the scroll back, he said, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."
There is no mistaking what Jesus meant. This was a prophecy applied only to the Messiah when he would come. Jesus is saying "I am the Messiah, and this is what God sent me to do."
Rabbis had disciples. A disciple was simply a follower of that rabbi, men who would learn from the teacher by seeing what he did and learning from his teaching. There were 12 who were early disciples, men who would be taught to be fishers of men, who would preach good news, set prisoners free, give people their sight back, release the oppressed, who would proclaim the good news of God. There were also women followers, Mary Magdalene, Mary, his mother, another Mary and Martha.
After three years, Jesus would die, be raised from the dead and give one last command, "Go make disciples of all nations, teaching to observe all that I have taught you." The Church would be born a few weeks later at Pentecost with 120 then 3,000, and now 2,000 years later, 2,180,000,000 of them. Now I know that not all are that good of a disciple, but not all those in that day were that great either, Judas betrayed Jesus, Peter denied him, Thomas doubted him, Philip questioned him, etc. It's the nature of a disciple to always be learning and the nature of the teacher to always be teaching. I am still learning, I hope. But I am his disciple because he invited me, and I said "yes."
The center was, is and will be the same — following the life, example and teaching of Jesus Christ. This is what a Christian is, someone who has accepted and believed in Jesus as Savior and then committed to learn from and follow him. Romans calls us to this full place in Christ, where we accept him as our Savior and then make the decision to offer ourselves as a living sacrifice, meaning we live for God.
When we experience chaos and confusion in our world — as we always seem to — what do we do? What Jesus said, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heaven laden, and I will give you rest," and, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."
The invitation still stands.

We get asked a bunch of questions repeatedly so maybe we can predict your next questions! Let's get to it:
- toggleWhen is Shovel Knight coming out!?
While originally set for March 31st, we need just a few more weeks to make sure everything is in tip-top shape. Once we have an absolutely sure fire date, we'll be sure to let the world know! Our initial platforms will be PC, Steam, Wii U, and 3DS.

As much as we'd love to take your money, we've cut off donations at this time. For any tier changing questions, send a line to email@example.com.
- toggleI want to preorder for Wii U and 3DS! How do I do that?
Unfortunately, you can only preorder for PC. You can do that at:
- toggleDoes Shovel Knight support controllers?
Yes, in every way we can! It should be easy to plug in your controller, remap your buttons, and do whatever you want!
- toggleWill the game come to the PS Vita?
Sony, we know it's you! We love our Vitas and we'd like to make it for Vita, but we have to get out our other platforms first.

Unfortunately no. Maybe one day…but we don't have the resources to make that happen. We're doing our best to make the 3DS version special in other ways. No worries!
- toggleDo you love Mega Man?
- toggleWill you make Shovel Knight forever and ever?!
Definitely. Wait, maybe. Ehhhh we don't know. Depends on our mood. We all love Shovel Knight, but we have millions of ideas. It would be fun to take the series the same route that other great games went and create a Super Shovel Knight or a Shovel Knight 64. We could also see us using the brand for other crazy genres or games ( ie Shovel Kart, anyone? ).
- toggleHow can I stop thinking about Shovel Knight?
Let us know when you find the cure.
- toggleAre the bosses in Shovel Knight going to be in a 3x3 grid like Mega Man?
Nope! It's a world map.
- toggleWill Shovel Knight become a mermaid?
Oh! I thought you would never ask! We'll just have to see!

The Donkeys headline a scary-good bill on Halloween at SoundDiego LIVE at the Office in North Park.
I was wondering why Halloween has become a holiday -- if it is that -- that's more for adults than kids, and got to thinking that since the '90s, children weren't really allowed to go on their own for trick-or-treating and explore the ghoulish nights because somewhere along the line we were convinced that it was too dangerous. The result, then, is adults going berserk over festivities that really didn't exist back in the day. This year is no exception for grownups; there are so many choices for events parties, and live music, but on this night, SoundDiego would love for you to come trick-or-treat with us at the Office for this month's installment of SoundDiego Live. We'll have a costume contest with some great prizes, amazing local bands and, of course, a hosted happy hour presented by Jack Daniel's. We'll wrap it up early, too, so whether you have to work in the morning or this is just your first stop before catching bands like Transfer at the Casbah or Rocket From the Crypt at House of Blues, we'll get you set up for a great night.
