My first ever wildebeest sculpture – what a fantastic challenge to try and capture this quintessentially African spectacle that takes place every year on the Mara River. This drama is now classified as one of the "Seven New Wonders of the World". Over two million animals migrate from the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to the lush grasslands of the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. And crossing crocodile-infested the Mara River alive is one of the biggest challenges they encounter.
I am convinced that only Africa can serve up such an incredible extravaganza of life and death.
Recent articles published in the Safari Club Magazine featured two Award pieces which I was commissioned to do for them.
The Norman Rhino is seen here with the Hall of Fame award winner, Barbara Strawberry. Barbara has been a force of energy and drive for not only her own Chapter of Safari Club but the SCI cause in general.
Safari Club International went on to say this about her. "Barbara went on her first hunt in 1990 with her husband Bill. It was in Zimbabwe that she took her first trophy – a warthog! Barbara continued with 6 more safaris to Africa and hunted in Spain, Scotland, Idaho, Wyoming, Texas and Maryland. She's fished Africa, the Amazon, Florida Keyes, Maryland and Alaska".
Antelope of Africa is the one of the pieces that is awarded as part of the World Hunting Awards.
Read more about the piece here >>
I am proud to have been invited to be part of a select group of artists to exhibit at the new Miniature Art Showcase and Sale at Safari Club International in Las Vegas in 2014. The challenge to sculptors is to make a piece that can be no more than 12" square.
See the Wildebeest Sculpture that is currently in progress >>
The Wildbeeste subject is something that our daughter Georgie has asked me to do for a while now. I have to say that I did not initially decide to do a migration piece when I started this subject – it just evolved into that. Initially I had just the two Wildebeest launching themselves into the Mara River but something was missing. It was not long before I realized that the ominous presence of the crocodile was an essential part of the scene. I hope you like it. Georgie does
The Great Tuskers >>
The Elephant has been on the turn table for over 18 months and only now am I ready to send him to the Foundry. He is my attempt to depict one of the giants that roamed East Africa at the turn of the 19th century.
This gene pool was nearly hunted to extinction all over the continent. These big tuskers were not a rarity in East Africa and in fact they were the norm. A friend, Bill Malik who was born in Kenya and now lives in LA was in Kenya when big tuskers were still being hunted. His Grandfather took a bull with 165 pounds on each side. What I have depicted in my sculpture does not weigh in like that. Those big tusks were found in animals that were able to carry ivory more than a total inside the head and outside of 12 feet or near 3 meters if you like. Some of those tusks measured 25 inches and more around the circumference of the tusk at the lip. The biggest ivory I took with Mike Aldersey measured a mere 16 inches round at the lip.
So in effect if I am to pay homage to those magnificent bulls I need to revise upwards and not downwards!!]]>
However, in the case of the rhino, it's a problem ramped up to another level. The thriving illegal trade in rhino horn drives poaching crime and to fight this we need courageous and generous people. With that in mind I present to you two emails that explain a funding project with a positive outcome. My thanks to Dale and Marla Rimkus at the Illinois Chapter of SCI for their vision and true commitment to conservation and to my good friends, John and Judy Travers at Imire in Zimbabwe for their brave and unswerving commitment to the conservation of not only the Black Rhino but all African Wildlife.
Dear John and Judy
Some months ago I donated a Rhino sculpture to the Illinois Chapter of the Safari Club International. This was in effect not a full donation in that the Chapter paid for the Foundry costs and other related expenses to enable them to acquire the bronze piece. For my part I made available number three of an edition of twenty Extinction is Forever and they in turn auctioned the Bronze at their annual fund raising Banquet. It was agreed that the profit from this sale would be earmarked for Imire. I think it is very important to note that Illinois Chapter have only one fund raising dinner every year and instead of keeping the profit from the sale of the bronze they had long ago indicated that it would be earmarked for a project of my choosing and I chose Imire. The organiser for this generous donation is one Dale Rimkus and his wife Marla who bought the piece on the auction for their home…
On behalf of Imire Rhino and Wildlife Conservation we would very much like to thank John Tolmay, a world renowned Zimbabwean bronze sculptor and conservationist, for his accurate and detailed masterpiece of a rhino which he donated to the Illinois Chapter of the Safari Club International. This magnificent work of art created by John was in turn auctioned at their annual fund raising dinner. Instead of the Illinois Chapter keeping the profits they asked John who would he like the beneficiary to be of the donation raised? John very kindly and considerately chose the Imire Rhino Conservation Program.
This unbelievable offer has taken a lot of planning and trust in John's choice of Imire, a small black and white rhino breeding station set in the heart of Zimbabwe. The Imire passion and focus is for the survival of the rhino species. The protection of wildlife and community development projects as education are most certainly the key to the survival of conservation areas.
This is a responsibility that could easily become overwhelming if it wasn't for the likes of the Illinois Chapter of Safari Club International, Mr and Mrs. Dale Rimkus, the organizers of the donation and of course John Tolmay – our voice who understands the importance of such a commitment.
When one is custodian and responsible for the security and the protection of the rhino, it becomes a massive undertaking. There is never enough security! Your donation will go towards intensifying the security of the rhino.
On behalf of Imire Rhino and Wildlife Conservation,we would sincerely like to thank the Illinos Chapter.We hope one day maybe when you are in Africa, you will come to Imire and enjoy the close and wonderful encounters with the rhino – it's a perfect introduction to the wilds of Africa.
We are so very grateful indeed, please pass on our sincere thanks to all concerned.
Warm Regards
Jude and John Travers]]>
The New Elephant
Back in North Carolina now, I am back in the studio working on new pieces and my new elephant sculpture is taking shape. I had the pleasure of meeting one Bill Malik at the SCI show in Reno this year. My elephant piece I call "The Askari Bull" drew him into my booth. Bill is ex of Kenya – in those heady days when it was not proper to hunt an Elephant with less than 100 pounds on each side. I had decided before that I was going to sculpt one of those iconic animals. Bill's enthusiasm and later his wonderful pictures have influenced this new sculpture of a bull carrying in excess of 150 pounds on each side. I hope you will like him.
A New Book
I have had the good fortune to be invited to be in an upcoming book by published author and fellow artist, Cindy Ann Coldiron. The book will be published by Schiffer Publishing. It's working title is Wildlife Art Today. It will will be available from Schiffer Publishing, Amazon, B&N and other retailers both here and abroad. I will keep you posted as to its release.
The Next Shows
I will have a booth at 'Art In the Barn' in Barrington, Illinois again September 28-29 and have applied to attend other shows in September and November, venues and dates to be advised later.
Congratulations! You were one of our Top Ten Sellers at last year's Art in the Barn!
Pretty cool huh.
That means I am now invited automatically and included in the "Invited Artists" portion of the jury presentation too.
Thanks to all the friends old and new who made this possible.]]>
BOOTH NUMBER AT SAFARI CLUB IS: 1024 (you'll find us in the main hall)
We are staying on in Reno for another week after SCI as we're attending The Wild Sheep Foundation Show that will be held at the GRAND SIERRA RESORT & CASINO
THE SHEEP SHOW: Booth 620
We look forward to seeing those of you attending the show and sharing a tale or two.
These new pieces made their debut at Dallas Safari Club and you can view them in the gallery.
Our fist stop was to Imire Game Farm and Lodge in the Wedza district and anyone that goes to Zimbabwe and fails to visit this place is frankly either misinformed or plain loopy. We stayed with the owners John and Judy Travers who are old friends of mine and the stay was typical of these wonderful people. Just for starters while eating supper that first night we were joined by a half grown Wildebeest who having been hand-reared is convinced that she is human! So she just walks into the kitchen and that set the tone for rest of our stay. The highlight here was not only the fact that we were in close proximity to the small herd of Black Rhino and their two new White Rhino, who by the way, have not read the label that states a fence is not to be crossed so they go walk-about all over the district with their guards in hot pursuit on a regular basis.
For Mike and I the real star of the show was Mac the largest of their Elephants. What a spectacular fellow he is. If you visit Zimbabwe and fail to visit Mac then you have really missed something. He is huge but I think if he could sit in Judy's lap he would. I think Mike and I had some serious thoughts crashing around in our heads. We hunted Elephants in the 80's in the Chewore and the Dande and I for one had occasion to ponder just what we had killed when we hunted one of these guys. Before we left Imire I resolved to return before leaving Africa to come and measure the dimensions of this incredible fellow for my next sculpture of an elephant bull.
From Imire we journeyed to the Midlands of Zimbabwe where we were to have a drink of the Famous Grouse alongside Alan Lowe's grave, long dead now from the attentions of an Elephant cow some 14 years ago. Both Mike and I had lots to share with Alan that day. The sadness is gone and what we have to remember and to share can never be taken away from us, even after the reaper issues the invitation.
Mike left after 11 days and I returned to the ranch in the Midlands to stay with Ken and Sandy, my younger sister. I made two forays up to Bulawayo to visit my elder sister and her husband who teach at Falcon College and who have recently built the most beautiful ranch style house red brick under thatch and a home that leaves me green with envy.
I spent most of the time on the ranch with Sandy and Ken who is planting bananas in between fighting the poachers and the bush fires that now ravage Zimbabwe in manner that is simply sickening to see.
All too soon the trip came to an end and the five weeks I was in Zimbabwe were gone in a thrice. So I went back to Imire to measure up Mac and what an experience that was. By then Judy had a little Duiker to keep the rest of the menagerie company and so the show at Imire goes on.

One of the most difficult parts about running Macheesmo for the last three years isn't finding new stuff to post. I always thought that would be a problem, but it turns out there is a very long list of recipes I want to try.
The problem is that when I find a really good recipe that I love, I often never have a chance to re-make it!
Betsy has comes to terms with this as well and pines for many archives meals. I always give her dibs to pick meals when we have a from-the-archives cooking night.
I'm telling you this story because this post is kind of a re-post. Astute readers will notice that it's very similar to my brussel sprout pizza recipe.
In truth, I wanted to make that recipe again because I absolutely love it. But I did change it up a bit because I didn't have time to make pizza dough from scratch.
Using pre-made flatbreads like I did in this recipe is a shortcut I use occasionally if I'm pressed for time but still want a decent pizza.
Brussel Sprout Flatbread
- 4 flatbreads
- 12-14 brussel sprouts, sliced
- 1 red pepper, sliced thin
- 6-8 ounces bacon, chopped
- 12-16 ounces mozzarella cheese
- 4 ounces blue cheese
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
1) Chop your bacon and add it to a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Cook for 10 minutes or so, stirring regularly so the fat starts to melt out and the bacon browns.
2) When the bacon is crispy, remove it, and add sliced veggies to the skillet to cook in the bacon grease. Turn heat up to medium-high.
3) Cook for a few minutes until veggies start to brown and then add bacon back to the pan.
4) Pre heat oven to 400 degrees.
5) On a baking sheet (or two) lay out flatbreads and drizzle liberally with olive oil.
6) Top with mozzarella cheese and a divide brussel sprout mixture evenly between the flatbreads. Top with crumbled blue cheese.
7) Bake at 400 for 8-10 minutes until flatbread is lightly browned around the edges.
8) Slice and serve immediately!
Hatin' on Sprouts
I have no idea why people hate on brussel sprouts so much! They are actually one of my favorite veggies assuming they are cooked correctly. I really do believe that I could turn most sprout haters into sprout likers with this recipe.
There's nothing fancy you need to do to prepare the sprouts for these flatbreads. Just give them a quick wash, cut off the stems, and then slice each sprout into a few slices.
Cooking the Toppings
A flavor that I think pairs really well with sprouts is bacon. I know… bacon goes well with everything. But it goes really well with brussel sprouts. You don't need a lot for this recipe.
Just cube up the bacon and add it to a large skillet over medium-low heat. Starting the bacon over low heat lets the fat melt out of it which we can use to cook the rest of the filling.
After about 10 minutes, the bacon will be almost crispy and you'll have a few tablespoons of delicious bacon grease.
Take the bacon out at this point just so it doesn't burn and then add the peppers and sprouts.
Crank the heat up to medium-high and cook these until they just start to char around the edges. Then you can add the bacon back in and your topping is all set!
Making the Flatbreads
Buying pre-made flatbreads is what makes this recipe super-easy. Granted, I'm normally one for homemade pizza dough, and it's definitely better. There's no argument there in my mind.
But, in a pinch, it's a pretty decent substitute. I like them because they are personal pizza sized and crisp up really well in the oven.
Preheat your oven to about 400 degrees and then drizzle on some olive oil for each flat bread.
Then add a few pieces of mozzarella and pile on the toppings!
Crumble on some blue cheese for the final topping.
These guys will need about 10 minutes at 400 degrees and you'll be left with some good looking flatbreads.
It might look like some of the sprouts are charred and that's because they are.
Slightly charred sprouts are amazing. They turn really crispy and delicious.
Slice each flatbread into a few pieces and serve them up!
While I like these for dinner, you could also make a few of them and slice them up as a great appetizer for a party or something.
Under thirty minutes and still way better than any frozen pizza you can buy in the store.

Sea Lamprey
Transcript from Listening to the Lake radio program originally aired on KUMD, Duluth, MN
June 15, 2005
(Opening music)
Welcome to Listening to the Lake. This is Marie Zhuikov with Minnesota Sea Grant, which is part of UMD. Sea Grant is bringing you this show through the generous support of KUMD twice a month to help keep you in touch with what's happening with the big pond in our front yards — Lake Superior.
The focus of today's program is sea lamprey. Lampreys are an eel-like fish considered an invasive species in Lake Superior and the Great Lakes. Researchers estimate about one hundred and four thousand lampreys are swimming around in Lake Superior. Lamprey control costs millions of dollars every year.
Sea lamprey spawn in Lake Superior rivers and streams. This spring's spawning run has set a record on the Brule River and the run is just about over. Not many people have heard what lampreys sound like and I'll give you a listen to that. But first, I'd like to let you know what the lake had to say yesterday morning at Canal Park.
(Enter lake sounds)
It was nasty by the lake — cold and rainy. The water temperature on the western end averages 41 degrees. The nearshore marine forecast calls for a northeast wind 10 to 15 knots, becoming northerly. Partly cloudy with waves 2 to 4 feet, subsiding to 1 to 3 feet in the afternoon. Tonight it will be partly cloudy with waves at 2 feet or less. A north wind will continue at 5 to 10 knots and will switch to the northwest.
(Fade out lake sound)
Frank LePera has a job worthy of the TV show Fear Factor. Each spring, he descends into a watery concrete vault seething with hundreds of blood sucking sea lampreys. Even though the blood those lampreys usually suck is a lake trout's, the job of walking thighdeep among masses of the creature is not exactly appealing.
"The first day we had 24 hundred down there. The first time I went down, like I couldn't step anywhere because it was full of lamprey. I'd have to like clean out a spot and kind of kick them out of the way and clean out a little spot to put my feet and make a scoop and bring them out."
LePera works for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's sea lamprey control division. His job is to assess how many lampreys are swimming in the Brule and Amnicon rivers in northern Wisconsin. I accompanied him to the Brule River, where he was in the vault scooping up lampreys with a net next to a low concrete barrier. The barrier is designed to short-circuit the lampreys' annual spring spawning run up the river.
"There's quite a few down there today. Might have a couple hundred down there."
LePera checks the traps daily, and he's found more lampreys than usual this year. The Brule River barrier has trapped 9,000 - a record number since counting began in 1986. Is that good news or bad news for this unwanted species? LePera's not sure.
"Are we just catching more because conditions are right this year? Or are we catching more because there's a lot more in here? So I think we'll find out more once we look at our numbers. I mean, we'll learn more when the numbers come in at the end of the year."
LePera the lamprey trapper then deposits the squeaking creatures into a grey plastic tub.
(audio of lampreys seething and squeaking)
LePera puts his gloved hands into the squirming mass and pulls out lampreys with clipped fins. These lampreys have been caught before and need to be checked for wire tags that are coded with special information. LePera funnels the lampreys into a machine a little bigger than a breadbox, which is designed to check for the tags. They drop out the other end and into a bucket.
(audio of lampreys thudding into bucket)
No wire tags this time.
"We've only had about 9 out of the 9,000 that we've caught so far. So it's pretty rare to get one that has the coded wire tag. So we just keep on looking. Hopefully we'll find one."
LePera then clips the fins of other lamprey lucky enough to be released back into the river. If they are caught again, their clipped fins help the Fish and Wildlife Service assess their growth and travel patterns. He weighs and measures all of the clipped animals.
Of the remaining lamprey, LePera separates out the females for disposal and the males for later use in a sterilization program. The Great Lakes Fishery Commission, which oversees lamprey control, chemically sterilizes the males so they cannot reproduce. When they are later released back into rivers, they compete with normal males and help lower the lamprey population.
Another control technique the commission uses is toxic chemicals applied to rivers and streams. The chemicals are designed to target young lampreys that live in the sediment of riverbeds. However, this technique is not perfect, and very costly, so the commission is looking to reduce the amount of chemicals it applies to rivers. The commission also wants to increase alternative methods like the male sterilization program so that 50 percent of suppression efforts do not involve pesticides.
Why all this trouble over sea lamprey? Minnesota Sea Grant's aquatic invasive species program manager, Doug Jensen, describes why they are such a problem.
"Sea lamprey are probably the most destructive invasive species ever to hit the Great Lakes. They caused the eradication of lake trout in all of the Great Lakes except for Lake Superior."
And just how did this fish, which is native to the Atlantic Ocean, get here?
"The most plausible explanation for the sea lamprey arriving into the Great Lakes was the Welland Canal that was opened up, and that bypassed a natural barrier around Niagara Falls back in the 1830s. … By 1938 they had invaded Lake Superior."
Peter Sorensen, a researcher at the University of Minnesota, is exploring one alternative to using pesticides for lamprey control. His research team has discovered that sea lamprey follow their noses in choosing spawning streams. They found that young lamprey living in riverbeds release several pheromones that help migrating lamprey find their way. Some of these compounds are so new that they don't have names yet. Instead, Sorensen refers to them by their molecular weights.
"The compound we're most interested in is the 704 compound. That compound is detected and will actually attract lamprey strongly in laboratory conditions repeatedly and consistently at 10 to the minus 13 molar and likely lower. … What that means is that a single gram can activate about 50,000 Olympic swimming pools. Just to put that in other terms that would be 1 gram, which is about the size of about a penny weighs a gram, in a lake a mile wide and 6 feet deep."
"Of course, that makes sense. Because for a long-distance pheromonal attractant to work in the Great Lakes naturally, it has to kind of be detected at those kinds of very low concentrations."
Trials in a Michigan stream look promising. Sorensen describes how the pheromones could be useful for current lamprey control efforts.
"Most of those traps are out there to count sea lamprey, to see how many are there. They're not actually trying to remove them for control. And the reason is you have to remove so many, it's not particularly effective unless you get very very high efficiencies. But perhaps with this pheromone we'll be able to get to those kinds of levels. And certainly, and this is what I think the greatest promise is, we'll be able to get those kinds of levels to trap males, male lamprey, that can then be sterilized and re-released. So it will have sort of a double-whammy, a real amplifying effect."
Sorensen is also hopeful the pheromone-lure method could be used for controlling other invasive fish.
"Things like ruffe and round goby, there's nothing, and Asian carp, there's not a single method now — nothing — to control them. This kind of idea might work there."
Whenever Sea Grant staff give public programs about lamprey, the question always comes up: will lamprey attack people? Doug Jensen responds.
"There's really no risk of sea lamprey attacking humans. The risk would almost be negligible for a sea lamprey to encounter a person and then for that sea lamprey to actually attach to someone that's out there swimming in Lake Superior."
"Through the evolutionary process, sea lamprey have evolved to search for cold-blooded fish, not necessarily warm-blooded humans."
There you have it. Don't worry.

Thinking Right's weekend free-for-all. Pick a topic:
● Georgia appears to be doing to higher education what Congress did to housing: chasing downmarket candidates in an effort to flim-flam them — this time into college classrooms. AJC reporter Laura Diamond notes, for example, that a new bachelor's degree in nursing is being offered at Albany's Darton College, though it's already available at Albany State, five miles away, and Georgia Southwestern, 30 miles away. Would you take a degree if we could offer a program in your living room? With government services, there's something to be said for requiring individual preparation, initiative and effort. Only 48 percent of students at Georgia State University graduate in six years, compared to 80 percent at UGA and Georgia Tech. They're camping, waiting for a better economy or for an answer to the question: Why am I here?
● Clayton County commissioners raised property taxes 34 percent — topping DeKalb's 26

Washington Redskins Fans Start Petition to Remove Phil Simms From Calling Games
As many already know, Simms said a few months ago that he would refer to the REDSKINS as only "Washington" the entire time he calls their games moving forward. Mr. Simms has recently stated that he will try not to use the Redskins' name in the upcoming game against the NY Giants.

5 Takeaways From Washington Redskins' Week 2 Win
After suffering a Week 1 loss to the Houston Texans on the road where the offense was atrocious, the Washington Redskins came back and beat the Jacksonville Jaguars, 41-10, at home. That win came despite WR DeSean Jackson leaving the game with a shoulder injury and QB Robert Griffin III going down with an injury - a dislocated ankle.
Injuries play havoc with fantasy football lineups
Jamaal Charles sprained an ankle after accumulating just 12 total yards. Robert Griffin III suffered a nasty dislocated ankle just before teammate DeSean Jackson was knocked out with a shoulder injury.
Gif Recap: Redskins 41-10 Victory over the Jaguars via Family Guy Gifs
Looking at the rollercoaster of emotions that comes with losing your franchise QB and then completely dominating the rest of the game. First play of the game for Robert Griffin III was a designed run that saw him get the first down, and slide before contact, much better than his usual attempts to get down.
Redskins S Meriweather returns after suspension
Washington Redskins safety Brandon Meriweather was at his locker Monday morning, receiving warm greetings and a bit of teasing from teammates happy to see him back after a two-game suspension. "We're pretty excited that he's back," safety Ryan Clark said.
The Robert Griffin III Trade Was A Massive Gamble For Washington, And It Backfired
Grantland's Bill Barnwell took a big picture view of the injury on Monday , writing, "Griffin will still have a career, but if this is a season-ending injury, he veers away from the [Andrew] Luck career path and more toward that of somebody like Randall Cunningham or Trent Green as the above-average talent who has a few impressive post-hype seasons in between injuries." The difference between Andrew Luck and Trent Green is the difference between the RGIII trade being a success and a disaster.

Riverside Province (outpost)
From Guild Wars Wiki
Revision as of 13:42, 22 January 2012 by Chieftain Alex (Talk | contribs)
- This article is about an outpost. This name is also used for a mission, an explorable area during the War in Kryta, and a Zaishen mission quest.
|Riverside Province
|Mission outpost
|Party size
|Twin Serpent Lakes
The Ullen River originates from the farthest south of the Footprint Lakes. The River flows west into the jungle, then turns decidedly south at the Henge of Denravi. Its swift currents and shallow inlets would make it an ideal trading river but for the fact that there are few settlements on its banks.

When a guy picks on you does it mean he likes youu?
i liked this boy ever since I met him, one night I even got the courage to tell him I like him, but that was my worst mistake, I pictured it to be like in a movie when the girl tell the guy and the guy goes and fully understands and gives her a kiss or something sweet, on the other hand nothing happened he looked lost at me, now ever since then he picks on me so much, he never did before, is it because he's starting to like me but can't show it because I told him I like him? or is it because he's mad at me for telling him?PLEASE RESPOND<3333 (; thank you
What's Your Opinion?
What Guys Said 2
What kind of things is he picking on you about?. If he's is saying flat out rude things to you then he definately isn't attracted. But if he's teasing you in fun ways then he's showing you he likes you but at the same time he probably don't know how to progress anything from there.
It sound likes he's mad at you. That's what little kids do.I remember when I was in elementary school a lot of girls liked me. But I liked another girl. So I thought these girls who had crushes on me were ruining my shot with the girl I liked. So I acted like mean kid, so they would leave me alone.Hope that helps.

Business Ideas in the News / November 12, 2007
Bangkok Food Products Co, a unit of Charoen Pokphand Foods Plc, plans to add another 170 CP Fresh Mart outlets to bring the total to 500 nationwide next year, turning them into "freezers for communities".
Currently, there are 330 branches nationwide with 100 located in Bangkok and surrounding areas and 230 branches in the provinces.
The stores, with a minimum investment cost of one million baht each, offer fresh and ready-to-eat foods.
Traffic jams and expensive transport costs have helped improve the business of small retail shops located closer to consumers' homes and prompted the company to add more branches, said Jakchai Nutprayoon, vice-president of Bangkok Food Products.
He said the stores were part of CPF's food supply chain _ the last link to consumers. More than 300 CP and CPF fresh-food and processed products are available at the stores including chicken meat, pork, sausage products and dim sum.
The company also offers home delivery for consumers in Bangkok with a minimum purchase of 300 baht. It also plans to expand the business through a franchise format in the next two years.

The International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification, is the American version of the international ICD-( designed for the classification of morbidity and mortality information for statistical purposes and for the indexing of hospital records by disease and operations, for data storage and retrieval. It is sponsored by WHO.
The Need for Improvement
For a number of years, there has been a growing need for a more efficient base for storage and retrieval of diagnostic data in the health field, particularly within the hospital environment. In 1950, the U.S. Public Health Service and the Veterans Administration began independent testing of the international Classification of Diseases for hospital indexing purposes. A New York hospital adopted the ICD-6th Revision, with some modifications, for its records department. Several years later, the Commission on Professional and Hospital Activities adopted ICD with similar modifications, for use in hospitals participating in the Professional Activity Study.
Continued Evolution
In 1966, the international conference for the revision of the ICD-8th Revision constructed the revision with hospital indexing in mind. With studies and input of consultants, the American Hospital Association and the U.S. Public Health Service, the ICD-8 was adopted and served as the basis for coding diagnostic data for both official morbidity and mortality statistics in the U.S.
In February 1977, the National Center for Health Statistics developed the Clinical Modification of the ICD-9 with the valuable aid of many professional associations. In January 1979, the ICD-9-CM, the American Version of the ICD-9 became a single system accepted as a tool for classifying morbidity data for indexing of medical records.
The current ICD-9-CM exceeds its predecessors in the number of codes provided, and provides greater specificity at the fifth digit level of detail. The fifth digits are not optional!
On April 1, 1989, the Catastrophic Coverage Act of 1988 made the use of the ICD-9-CM system on all Medicare claims mandatory.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Knoxville police are searching for two men wanted in a home invasion robbery.
The Knoxville Police Department says it happened Wednesday just before 9 p.m. on the 2600 block of Edgewood Avenue.
The homeowner told officers she opened the door to her home and was confronted by two men.
She says they assaulted her, forced their way inside the house, and demanded her pills and money. When the victim turned the items over, the suspects ran from the home.
The suspects are described as white males in their thirties, standing about 5 feet 6 inches tall, and weighing about 180 pounds.
Both suspects were wearing blue bandanas over part of their faces, gray hoodies and khaki carpenter style pants.
One of the suspects was armed with a small pocket knife.

I'm so tired of complaints about the weight of Le Creuset cookware. Please! If it's too heavy for you to lift, then so are a LOT of other things. The point is that this stuff gets hot, stays hot, heats evenly, rarely needs "high" heat (unless actually boiling water for pasta), looks great and CLEANS UP EASILY! I am not replacing any of of my AllClad, just increasing the number of choices I have when cooking. And these sauciers are a pleasure. I use them daily.I recommend this product.
Le Creuset makes other brands look bad
I started purchasing Le Crueset cookware about 2 years ago and have not looked back since. This cookware heats evenly, cleans up easily and is a pleasure all the way around. This product is perfect for sauces, glazes and working with smaller portions of soup etc.I recommend this product.
The perfect size for everday use. Easy cleaning and retains heat well.I recommend this product.

93% say this is a "good value"
My wife loves Le Creuset cast iron. We have been through the Teflon coated Calphalon and other types. You cannot beat cast iron, and Le Cresuet is the best cast iron. And it looks good, too. I never could find the dimensions (diameter and depth) which would have been nice. 2-1/4 quarts does not exactly tell you how big it is. But it is a good size. We love it.I recommend this product.

For Everyone
Stretch. No matter what your job is, you probably do certain activities over and over again, or get into the same sitting or standing position for long periods of time. To protect your joints, break that cycle.
"Set an alarm on your watch, phone, or computer to remind you to take a break and stretch every 40 minutes or so," says Manno. If you spend most of your time sitting, stand up, stretch, and walk around for a few minutes. If you spend most of your time standing, stretch and then take a few minutes to sit.
Use the Right Tool. "When you have OA in your fingers or hands, you shouldn't be doing any tight pinching," says Supnekar. That means selecting the right tool for the job: like a felt-tip pen instead of a ball point, a properly sharpened knife or pair of scissors for cutting, and tools for tasks like kitchen work and gardening with padded handles. When opening bags or boxes, use scissors or a cutting device, rather than yanking at them with your hands.
Time Your Meds. If you have certain times of the day when you know you'll be doing particularly repetitive or joint-straining work, take your pain relievers according to that schedule. "Think about what your day is like and when you're most uncomfortable," says Manno. "If you know you'll be writing reports for four hours in front of the computer, take your medication a bit before you're about to start that work."

I now have a former Cosmo model as my US Senator.
Was it a referendum on healthcare? Partially. On Obama? Probably.
Was it the candidate's fault? The state's? The administration's? Yeah, sure, if it makes you feel better to dole out some blame, it was a little of everybody's fault.
But basically, this race was just a version (condensed, over-spun, nastier) of the battle we have been fighting for what seems like forever. It wasn't about terrorist trials in civilian courts, or about the public option, or about the candidates' genders. Of course, it was about all that, at least a little bit, because all of those issues fall within the broader conflict that has dominated American politics for the past three decades at least: the conflict between a vision of America dominated by fear and intolerance and one of gradual movement toward a more just society; between a philosophy that says government can do no good (except for the super-rich, but shhhhh) and one that hopes to turn government into a vehicle for the achievement of at least a few of our ideals.
The other side in this conflict has consistently gotten the better of us for the past thirty years. For twenty-eight years, we had eight of Democratic rule. Now we have nine, and let's just think about this last one – since the inauguration, we've gotten a watered down stimulus and a root canal of a debate about health care that has led even the compromise of the public option into the jaws of the right-wing, teabagging, "get the government out of my pockets" monster. That's it. Basically, that's the legacy of the first year of the Obama administration and the Democratic super-majority.
So, you might ask, did we even deserve to keep the seat? Would it even have helped our country to have 60 Dems instead of 59? I don't know about the first question (it seems you only deserve something in politics by winning it), but the answer to the second is, frankly, yes. Because if the belief that government actually can lead our society to a more just existence has any purchase anymore, we have to understand that baby steps forward are still better than leaps backward; that every vote, no matter how spineless, counts; that every victory matters. These are the lessons that Ted Kennedy learned in the Senate, and if anything positive can come from tonight's results, for Massachusetts and for the country, it is a better understanding of these truths.
So no, Scott Brown, tonight wasn't historic. It wasn't new. It was a reminder, once again, of the power of the simple messages that Republicans have been spouting for 30 years. It was just a little more painful this time.
Sorry, Teddy.
By Helen Kilian
Since the latter half of the 20th century, Massachusetts has come to be regarded as the crux of modern liberalism in America. Consequently, it should come as no surprise that there is a relatively large constituency of CU College Dems that hail from the Bay State (or the Gay State, if you prefer; we proudly respond to either) whose members are currently—one would hope—filling out their absentee ballots for the US Senate special election. Lately, however, this statewide election has garnered the attention of more than just New Englanders. Democrats across the country, especially on the heels of announcements by senior senators Chris Dodd (D-CT) and Byron Dorgan (D-ND) that they will not seek re-election in November, are shaking in their Birkenstocks at the prospect of losing a Congressional majority. Now, with the latest Rasmussen polls in Massachusetts showing Republican candidate Scott Brown within two percentage points of Democrat Martha Coakley, there is a greater fear of a Republican victory in MA, which would undoubtedly represent the 41st vote against healthcare overhaul legislation.
Yet an upset of the Democratic majority is not the only factor that has drawn the public's gaze to this special election. Let's be honest, it is hard to turn one's eyes away from this picture of 22-year-old Scott Brown that resurfaced just when we thought Cosmo's 1982 "Sexiest Man of the Year" had been forgotten. Says Cosmo, "We bet he still has an amazing body underneath his suit and tie."
As if nude pictures weren't sexy enough for Brown, he followed up with a campaign ad comparing himself—albeit without emphasis on physical attractiveness— to the late Massachusetts great, JFK. Now anyone who knows anything about Ted Kennedy, whose tragic passing spurred this election, would be aware of his willingness to reach across the aisle and forge bipartisan ties with fellow Senators, but I dare to conjecture that Ted is rolling over in his grave at Scott Brown's attempt to equate himself with our 35th President. Not only is the comparison exploitative of the Kennedy name and reputation, but the basis of the ad itself—that both JFK and Scott Brown support across-the-board tax cuts—is also fundamentally misleading.
First, JFK was not as committed to his own tax cuts as Brown might lead us to believe. A "modestly enthusiastic wait-and-seer," as economist Richard Parker describes him, JFK agreed to experiment with the unprecedented tax cut tactic to appease conservatives in Congress. In fact, Kennedy favored government spending to combat recession, but his advisers counseled otherwise, arguing that the tax cuts would act more as a more effective economic stimulus.
Public radio reporter Curt Nickisch points out in his article "A Reaganite In Camelot?: The Partisan Battle Over JFK's Tax-Cut Legacy" that the tax reform, finally passed as a memorial to JFK after his death in 1963, was indeed remarkably effective. However, the reasons for this efficacy go beyond the Republican "tax cuts work" doctrine. In the 1960's, the top tax rate was 91%, meaning that the top earners paid out 91 cents of every income dollar to the federal government. Incentive for employment? Not so much. The JFK tax cuts pared this rate down to 70%, an obvious decision to encourage labor force participation and increase economic vitality in a time when taxpayer dollars were much more likely to remain in the domestic economy.
In contrast, the 2010 top federal income tax rate is about 35%, half that of the JFK era. Our economy, Nickisch notes, is also fundamentally different today, with burgeoning personal debt and national deficit complicating the story. Tax cuts can no longer be considered the magical economic panacea that they were in the 1960's, a concept that Scott Brown—and many of his Republican colleagues—has apparently yet to grasp.
Brown may have some killer abs, but the last time I checked, it's the grey matter that counts. The man has been endorsed by some intellectual giants (see Doug Flutie), but this Birkenstock-wearing Massachusetts liberal is simply unconvinced by his trite slogans and substantive weakness. So to end on a serious note, especially given the narrowing poll numbers, it is truly imperative to get out the vote for the strong, smart, and experienced candidate: Martha Coakley. Coakley, current Massachusetts Attorney General, has real policy plans and a strong history of doing what's right for Massachusetts. So request your absentee ballot today, and keep MA blue.

Hartford, Conn. – Despite a career-best 21 points from Jerome Seagears (Silver Spring, Md.), Rutgers (12-7, 3-5) fell to Connecticut (13-5, 3-3), 66-54, Sunday afternoon in front of a crowd of 12,768 at the XL Center. The Scarlet Knights shot just 39.3 percent (22-56) and committed 16 turnovers in the defeat, including nine in the second half.
"I give UConn a lot of credit, they struggled in spurts to score, but they found ways in the end to put their foot on the gas and run away with it," said Rutgers head coach Mike Rice. "Our team continues to struggle with carelessness, both offensively and defensively."
Seagears was 8-of-15 from the field, including 4-of-7 from behind the arc, in a team-high 34 minutes.
"Jerome had energy to him and started off making some shots," added Rice. "We can't have one or two players (being productive). We need four or five players. Our balance has gone out the window because guys are too inconsistent. I appreciate Jerome's game, but we need more for victory on the road in the BIG EAST."
Sophomore forward Kadeem Jack (Queens, N.Y.) neared a double-double for RU with eight points and nine rebounds. Eli Carter (Paterson, N.J.) added 13 points and six boards.
Shabazz Napier paced UConn with 19 points, while DeAndre Daniels posted 13 points and seven rebounds for the Huskies.
The Scarlet Knights connected early, making five of their initial eight shots to take an 11-6 lead five minutes into the contest. Seagears sunk all three of his shots to account for seven of those points.
The Huskies posted 12 of the next 14 points to take their first lead of the game, 18-13, at the 9:43 mark. After back-to-back baskets by the RU big men brought the score within one, UConn ran off nine of the next 12 points to take a 27-20 advantage into the locker room at the midpoint.
Rutgers roared out of the break, busting out a 10-1 run as Seagears hit two threes over the rally. Connecticut would not give in, however, as Napier hit two deep threes over a 16-7 run to regain the lead, 44-37. RU answered with a 6-2 spurt to pull within three, but UConn rattled off the next 10 points to take its largest lead of the game, 56-43 with just under two minutes to play.
Rutgers continues on the road, heading to No. 21/20 Cincinnati on Wednesday, Jan. 30. Game time is set for 7 p.m. The contest will be televised live on SNY.

- Eli Carter posted 13 points, his 15th double-digit scoring effort this season.

- RU drops to 1-5 when shooting less than 40 percent.
- When committing more turnovers than its opponent, the Scarlet Knights fall to 6-6.
- Myles Mack grabbed three-plus steals (three) for the sixth time this season. Mack also dished out four assists.
- Rutgers drops to 3-5 when less than three players post 10-plus points.
- In the all-time series, the Scarlet Knights fall to 14-35. The squad has not won at UConn since 1977.
- Head coach Mike Rice went with the starting lineup of Seagears, Miller, Mack, Judge and Jack – his seventh different starting lineup this season.
- Kadeem Jack earned his first start since Nov. 9 (Saint Peter's).

Poor Ryan Perrilloux. With the slew of injuries the Giants have been attacked by the past few weeks, roster changes had to occur.
With these changes came the weekly occurence of Perrilloux being waived in order for a roster spot to open up (This weeks winner: Isaiah Stanback)
Perrilloux's history with the Giants is as follows:
– On January 13, 2011, Perrilloux was signed to a reserve/future contractwith the New York Giants.
– On September 3, 2011, he was cut from the Giants' roster, but was re-signed the same day to the practice squad.
– He was released from the practice squad on September 17 for the first time, and was re-signed one week later on September 23.
– Perrilloux was waived again on September 28.
– He was re-signed to the practice squad on October 8, but released again on October 12.
– Perrilloux was re-signed again on October 17.
– He was released from the practice squad again on November 2, 2011. He was then signed to the practice squad on November 11, 2011.
And as stated earlier, he has been cut again today– November 30th, 2011. Will Perrilloux be back again? Pretty soon there will be Vegas odds on the whole matter.

DOMA Oral Arguments Explained
For almost two hours Supreme Court justices heard arguments on the federal Defense of Marriage Act. The court covered wide ground, once again spending a significant amount of time on the topic of standing. This time the questions were around whether the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group (BLAG), under the leadership of House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, had the legal right to sue. As in Proposition 8, the standing question could give the court the option to avoid the case by ruling that it should not have gone through the court system.
The justices also spent time on whether the federal government should be in the marriage business at all, or if that should be left to the states. Several justices also challenged President Barack Obama's 2011 decision to stop upholding DOMA, and what kinds of precedent that sets. Solicitor General Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr. often tried to bring up the equal protection clause, and whether it applies to gays and lesbians. However, the court often took that question and went back to federal versus states legal rights.
UC Davis Law Professor Vikram Amar discussed the oral arguments with KQED News.
Amar: If one is going to read tea leaves based on the oral argument, it seems as if the court is not inclined to do something huge, in striking down the laws of 40 states that currently prohibit same-sex marriage. My big take-away from this has always been, the court did not really want to take these cases. … They may end up doing nothing at all, because both cases may get resolved on procedural standing grounds.
The basic idea is courts exist to decide crisp disputes, not just answer questions everyone wants answered. So unless you have somebody who is a plaintiff who has a lot at stake, and you have a defendant who is an appropriate defendant, then the court simply should not be able to render a ruling.
Proposition 8 Oral Arguments Explained
After a long and winding road, Proposition 8 had its day at the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday. For more than an hour, the justices of the high court grilled attorneys on California's same-sex marriage ban.
The oral arguments were dominated by the question of standing, which focused on whether the authors of Prop. 8 have the legal right to defend the measure in court when the state refused to do so. Justices also grappled over the meaning of marriage and what role the court system should have in changing long-held traditions.
The questions that justices ask can shed light on their concerns and how they might rule. KQED spoke with Vikram Amar, a professor of law at UC Davis, about what certain arguments could mean.
Amar: I thought there were three, maybe four, maybe five justices already who expressed significant skepticism about whether the sponsors have standing to defend Prop. 8.
