Launch of C7XR(TM) FD-OCT Imaging System and Companion C7 Dragonfly(TM) Imaging Catheter Strengthen LightLab's Market Leadership
WESTFORD, Mass., May 14 /PRNewswire/ -- LightLab Imaging Inc., the pioneer and leader in the development of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) for vascular and other applications, today announced the launch of its next-generation system, the C7XR FD-OCT Imaging System with the C7 Dragonfly Imaging Catheter, at EuroPCR 2009, Barcelona, Spain, solidifying the company's leadership in the intracoronary OCT imaging product market.
The C7XR FD-OCT Imaging System is the world's first approved Frequency Domain OCT product for intracoronary imaging, having received CE Mark in March 2009. The C7XR FD-OCT Imaging System and C7 Dragonfly Imaging Catheter enables micron level resolution imaging of the coronary artery with the capability to scan a 40mm artery segment in less than 3 seconds with a single non-occlusive catheter.
Dr Francesco Prati, Ospedale San Giovanni, Rome commented, "The C7XR system and C7 Dragonfly imaging catheter represent a significant step forward for intracoronary imaging. I am very pleased with the speed and simplicity of the imaging procedure and the improvements in image quality are truly impressive. I would expect frequency domain OCT to replace IVUS in many cases or centers."
"The launch of the C7XR Imaging System and Dragonfly Catheter is an important milestone for LightLab Imaging, and represents years of successful collaboration with many of the world's leading interventionalists," said David Kolstad, President and CEO of LightLab Imaging. "The image quality is extraordinary, greatly enhancing ease of image interpretation. We are confident that it will quickly improve best practices for stent procedures and other intracoronary interventions."

Last Thursday, I noted that the EPA released the latest annual report laying out how well each manufacturer is doing when it comes to meeting the increasingly stringent standards for passenger cars and trucks—the simple answer is that the industry is doing very well.

The Latest From The EPA: Car Manufacturers Are Exceeding Expectations
March 26th, 2015
Today, the EPA put out its latest "scorecard" for the automakers, answering the question of how well each manufacturer is performing compared to the greenhouse gas emissions standards for light-duty vehicles. The indication is again a cautious optimism, showing that manufacturers continue to exceed the standards, reducing emissions at a rate faster than projected. This is good news for the climate, for consumers at the pump, and for staying on the path to a Half the Oil future. Read More

Right here on the Blue Planet, dreams really can come true…even in Washington, DC, during the so-called "silly season" that is an election year. Read More

Cooling Delhi Hospital Using Heat Teams India With Germany
India and Germany are using a New Delhi hospital to demonstrate how heat harnessed for cooling can help contain surging electricity demand in the world's second-fastest growing major economy.
Air conditioners at the state-run Jai Prakash Narayan Apex Trauma Center, which currently draw electricity from the transmission grid, are being replaced with more efficient absorption chillers that run on waste heat from a generator, according to a project document prepared by the German government's Gesellschaft fuer Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH development agency and India's Bureau of Energy Efficiency.
Rising prosperity and demand for goods including air conditioners and televisions has increased power consumption in India, where electricity use per capita rose almost 30 percent since 2002, according to Central Electricity Authority data.
More than 35 percent of future power generated in India may be consumed for cooling, M.S. Unnikrishnan, chief executive officer of Thermax Ltd., an Indian power-equipment maker, said in an October interview.
The hospital project in New Delhi, where average summer temperatures exceed 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit), will install a tri-generation plant that can use natural gas to simultaneously produce electricity, heat and cool air.
That technology could be used in thousands of hospitals, hotels, airports, department stores and technology centers nationwide, and the hospital plant may open the way for at least 100 similar projects in the next five years, the document said. Germany's Environment Minister Norbert Roettgen plans to inaugurate the project on March 31.
Air conditioner sales are expected to grow 25 percent a year over the next five years assuming India's economy sustains growth of 8 percent, according to a 2010 report by OEM Update, an online trade website for India's manufacturing industry.
India's $1.3 trillion economy will expand as much as 9.25 percent in the year starting April 1, the most since 2008, the government forecast last month.

Celeb Mom Summer Style: Angelina Jolie Versus Katie Holmes (Who Has Better Style?)Joanna Mazewski
They're both trendy, they're both famous and they're both actresses and mothers to some of the most famous kids in Hollywood: Suri Cruise and Shiloh and the Jolie-Pitt clan.
But when it comes to their personal style, they are on opposite ends of the fashion pole. While Angelina Jolie loves her signature black look and nude shoes (even when she takes her kids out to the theater), Katie Holmes' mom style is more on the trendy, but still laid back.
Both Angie and Katie spent a lot of time out and about in both New York City and London this summer, snapped by the paparazzi each time they left their homes.
Check out our gallery and tell us, who had better mom style this past summer: Angelina Jolie or Katie Holmes? Let's hear your thoughts.

Editorial: New slate-A A +A
Friday, January 3, 2014
AS IS often said, we have a new slate to fill up with the coming of a new year.
The elder ones know for a fact that this new year will just as quickly slip by, while the younger ones will be groaning over how long summer, semestral, and Christmas vacations are in coming.
Still, we have a new slate.
Rappler.com rustled up quotes from Pope Francis and listed these as possible new year's resolutions. These are:
1. Don't gossip.
2. Finish your meals.
3. Make time for others.
4. Choose the 'more humble' purchase.
5. Meet the poor 'in the flesh'.
6. Stop judging others.
7. Befriend those who disagree.
8. Make commitments, such as marriage.
9. Make it a habit to 'ask the Lord'.
10. Be happy.
Reading through all ten, it sounds like the Pope was talking to Filipinos. But really, the message is universal, it's just that we are Filipinos and seeing our weaknesses in the least, tend to feel alluded to.
We can bungle it up, like many did in 2013. Or we can fill it with stories of successes. It is all up to us.
Today, we are full of resolutions to do this and that. That's how it is.
Today, we are filling up the gyms trying to sweat off the pounds we have gained during the season.
Today, we are starting slow because there's this program within ourselves that the new year officially starts on the first Monday after. You were not conscious of that, right? But look around you and notice the quiet streets, the less than normal number of co-workers, the slow pace of work. That is a habit we imbibed as kids when schools started on the first Monday after.
Because of this, we also tend to be slow in starting our resolutions, except for the gym visits. By the time we are revved up to do as we promised, we drop out of gym class and resume our old lumbering ways.
Do we want to fill up the new slate the way we filled it up the year before or do we really want to start anew. Again, that is all up to you.
But waiting for Monday to rev up pace is a reminder that nothing has changed and will?

Miami, FL (PRWEB) September 04, 2013
When someone has lived with bad teeth for a long time, they might find it hard to imagine what their mouth would look like after dental work has been done. They may have been given advice about what type of dental work they need, but can't picture what the effects would be. This is where "before and after" photos can be so useful. By looking at examples of how teeth look before dental work, and then comparing these with the photos of the teeth after dental work has been done, a potential patient can get an idea of the improvements that can be made. They can see how a smile can be virtually transformed as a result of having various dental procedures carried out. Every patient is going to be different. Some will need dental work in order to straighten their teeth out, while others will need to have badly stained teeth whitened. There are some people who will need to have the surface of their teeth reinforced with veneers, or even have dental implants to replace teeth that cannot be repaired in any other way. There are also some cases where multiple procedures need to be done. By looking at "before and after" photos, the effects of all kinds of dental procedures can be viewed. People searching for information on the dental implant procedure in Miami will find that TM Prosthodontics comes up at the top of many local listings.
TM Prosthodontics, the dental practice of Dr. Tal Morr, a full mouth dental implants expert in Miami, announces a new photo gallery containing before and after photos that show improved smiles. As a prosthodontist, Dr. Morr feels it's important that current and prospective patients see just what he ca

Remember Me
Carney admits Brothers is the album they've always wanted to make and taps into their creative force as a duo. "Dan and I grew up a lot as individuals and musicians prior to making this album. Our relationship was tested in many ways but at the end of the day, we're brothers, and I think these songs reflect that." Carney and Auerbach recorded the bulk of the album at the legendary Alabama studio Muscle Shoals with additional sessions at Auerbach's Easy Eye Sound System in Akron, OH and The Bunker in Brooklyn, NY. Muscle Shoals, an old building located in the sparse Alabama town that lends the studio its name, has produced iconic recordings from The Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin, and Wilson Pickett, among many others.
The New York Times has called The Black Keys' music "tough-minded, blues haunted songs," and the ghosts of Muscle Shoals inhabit Brothers' 15 tracks. Of the album, Auerbach says, "We like spooky sounds... like Alice Coltrane, where a dark groove is laid down. That's the headspace we tried to get into for this record."
The album includes the Danger Mouse-produced song "Tighten Up" and a cover of the Jerry Butler classic "Never Gonna Give You Up." The remaining songs on Brothers are written, performed and produced by The Black Keys. With the exception of a handful of tracks, co-production duties were handled by Mark Neill. The record was mixed by Tchad Blake. Carney explains the sound the band wanted for this record: "We are big fans of Tchad Blake. The way he approaches mixing is the same way we approach making music. Respecting the past while being in the present. The mixes he did for us on Blakroc impressed us so much we knew he had to mix Brothers."

Alive and Kicking
The Iranian opposition keeps up the fight.
4:30 PM, Dec 11, 2009 • By MASEH ZARIF
The days leading up to the December 7 protests were filled with reports of regime officials paving the way for further crackdowns. Iran's chief of police, Brigadier General Esmail Ahmadi-Moqaddam, announced on November 12 that the police will establish a special unit targeting 'cyber crimes' including, according to state media, "defamation and mischief." Judicial authorities continue to pursue cases against individuals linked to Mousavi and the opposition, even as it releases some from detention. Tehran's prosecutor announced on November 13 that Mousavi's brother-in-law, Shapour Kazemi, would be tried before a Revolutionary Court on unspecified charges; Kazemi has since been handed a one-year jail sentence. Tehran's court officials also announced on November 17 that five post-election detainees were being sentenced to death for their affiliations with "counter-revolutionary groups" and more than 80 were receiving jail sentences of up to 15 years.
On November 21, Mohammad Ali Abtahi, former vice president under Khatami, received a six-year jail sentence after being found guilty of "plotting against the country's security" in the wake of the summer's elections. This conviction came nearly four months following the first of several show trials in which Abtahi "confessed" to his role in instigating the post-election riots and "falsely" putting forth charges of electoral fraud. Abtahi served as an advisor to Karroubi's campaign during the recent election.
Recent arrests also targeted prominent student activists ahead of Monday's anticipated protests. Iran's prosecutor general and former intelligence minister, Gholam Hossein Mohseni-Ejei, warned demonstrators on December 8: "Intelligence and security...forces have been ordered not to give any leeway to those who break the law, act against national security and disturb public order "From now on, we will show no mercy toward anyone who acts against national security. They will be confronted firmly."
The regime's responses to the protesters and nominal opposition leaders have revealed its sense of vulnerability but also its determination to crush the resistance and deny it any legitimate outlet for its grievances. The repressive measures doled out by the security apparatus--led by the IRGC--have for the regime been enough to contain dissenters without provoking a widespread backlash or facilitating a return to the more precarious environment seen during the immediate aftermath of the election. Whether the forces of repression, economic malaise, political fracturing and perceived illegitimacy of the regime can spur this segment to attract a following beyond the core of activists and students remains to be seen.
The key centers of power within the current Iranian structure understand that the stability of the regime depends upon the ability of its leaders and officials to magnify the perceived internal and external threats to its survival, thus justifying repressive measures to stifle dissent and opposition. It remains likely that increasing signs of a crackdown, witnessed most recently in the last month, represent a pattern for the regime's authorities. This trend continues to be heard through the rhetoric on a daily basis and seen in force on occasions like this past week.
It is still far too early to assess the likely outcome of these tensions, or even the real significance and depth of the protest movement itself. But the continuing demonstrations sparking regime violence have showed the determination of both sides and raise the specter of long-term continuing anti-regime activity on a scale not previously seen in the history of the Islamic Republic.
December 7 has passed, yet the tension within Iran continues, as violent clashes between student protesters and security forces spilled over into December 8. Iranians will commence the religious month of Moharram in less than ten days--a period expected to spur yet another episode of demonstrations against the regime. How the various sides position themselves for this next stage will provide important indicators for the continuing unrest. One thing is already clear: the tensions between and among the stakeholders will not be resolved neatly or expeditiously.

"I changed this card around a lot and the customer service was amazing! We wanted to make this our accommodations card for guest to use to block off the hotel room. (The hotel would provide a card, but that meant it wouldn't match the rest of my wedding suite!) The staff did everything I wanted them to do - take out the initial's on the top, change certain words to be a special color and fit all text on the card. It turned out great, cannot wait to mail the invitations out! I only wish this card was 1/2 to 1 inch larger in all directions but I did know the size before ordering it and I'm happy I did."
"Exactly as I was hoping everything would look. I ordered several pieces with this design and every thing was amazing. The customer service staff was also lovely to work with and quickly answered every questions that arose."
"This whole wedding suite is beautiful. My fiance and I have received nothing but compliments. So happy we decided on this one!!"
"I was concerned that this card would be too small to fit all of my information on it. However the customer service was wonderful in helping me fit everything on the front and back. The text size was not too small and it turned out great. I am so happy with how it turned out!"

My daughter was born with a heart murmur.....2 holes in her heart...and found out she has bicuspid valve disorder, which thank God, won't affect her until she gets old, and then it's a simple fix.

DEAL ISLAND, Md. (AP) — The marble statue in the cemetery of St. John's United Methodist Church on Deal Island stands about 6 feet tall. It depicts a slightly built man in his 60s, wearing a pageboy hair style, a robe or toga and no shoes.
Generations of children on this Chesapeake Bay island learned a simple aphorism: Ask the statue what he had for supper and he'll tell you, "Nothing at all." Now, some Deal Islanders are asking another question — who is represented by the statue so many have come to address as "Uncle Tubby?"
Many think the likeness is that of Silas Tubman Webster, a waterman and gentleman farmer who belonged to a prominent Deal Island family. According to family lore, artisans in Italy created the statue for $1,000 after Webster's death in 1897.
"That statue is Uncle Tubman," said Trussel Webster Harrison, 101, of Princess Anne. "You can believe that. That's all I ever heard all my life from everybody — that's Uncle Tubman. The Websters were the big people of Deal Island. They were the ones that had the money."
Scot Disharoon, of Salisbury Monument Co., who is restoring the cemetery of more than 1,500 graves and repairing extensive damage caused by recent vandalism, thinks it unlikely the family would have sent all the way to Italy. There's evidence that Italian masons and sculptors were working in Vermont then and that Webster's estate ordered a monument through a Baltimore company.
As for the toga, scroll and bare feet: "My guess — he is a preacher," Mr. Disharoon said.
Such observations has lead to the possibility that the statue represents an earlier member of the Webster family, Joshua Thomas, a famous preacher and perhaps the most prominent personality to come from Deal Island. Thomas is credited with spreading Methodism throughout Tangier Sound settlements before dying in 1853.
However, a statue of Thomas likely would have honored him and included inscription about his ties to the Websters. And Thomas' grave and chapel — named in his honor — are just an oyster shell's throw from the statue.
But for yesterday's children, the statue will always represent the sage who never failed to reveal what he'd had for supper. Miss Harrison remembers asking and being told, "Nothing at all."
Her daughter, Florence Jones, said her generation did the same thing.
"Every evening after school, we'd go over and ask him what he had for his supper," Mrs. Jones recalled. "Then when we got home, they'd ask us if we saw Uncle Tub today, and they wanted to know what he said. Always the same answer, 'Nothing at all.'
"There were three of us children who went every day. Didn't go home from school until we went to that statue and asked that question."

Germany and the United States in the Age of Terror
Abenheim, Donald, Naval War College Review
Ideas, Domestic Politics, and the International System of States
As the shock waves in the realms of ideas and geopolitical strategy rolled outward from Ground Zero on 11 September 2001, the edifice of German-American security and collective defense shuddered and soon piled up collateral damage in Washington, New York, Paris, Berlin, and beyond. In the aftermath of the terror attacks, culminating in the spring 2003 Anglo-American-Australian-Polish blitzkrieg against Baathist Iraq, the German-U.S. bond, a basic element of the Euro-Atlantic security order that has prevailed for more than a half-century since the end of World War II, seems to be in the process of collapse. Germany and the United States are publicly at odds, and the ties that bind our countries appear to have disintegrated into vituperation and invective that recall the world of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.1 If this cornerstone of the international system of states changes further for the worse-and any significant German retreat from the U.S. and North Atlantic orientation that has sustained liberal democracy and prosperity in and around the Federal Republic of Germany for decades counts as "for the worse"-unpredictable consequences will follow for the United States and the world order most congenial to it.
What accounts for the rift between Washington and Berlin at present? No single cause emerges from an examination of this situation that hopes to go beyond the facile, reactive, if not jingoistic, analyses of the chattering classes in Berlin and Washington. Rather, the current strain is wrought of a convergence of forces, complicating manifestations of history, ideology, experience, and ambition that have always swirled around the German-American relationship, however inchoately. For a variety of reasons, these factors have coalesced to exacerbate tensions and produce a troubling reaction in the last several months since the American coalition against terror marched to war, first in Afghanistan and then in Iraq. This article examines these complicating factors and the circumstances that have made them so virulent of late.
The following focuses on the German side of the problem, first tracing the role of ideas in German politics and society, the ideological framework on which the current debate is built.2 Simply put, in the first instance, since the origins of such ideas in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, there have endured mutually negative images in Germany and the United States as concerns politics, society, and culture among political elites; these well-worn negative images have taken on a new virulence in the present crisis because of the upswing in nationalist sentiment on both sides of the Atlantic in the wake of Bin Ladenist terror. Secondly, these ideas interact with domestic political figures and factors that, in the German case, have been particularly important in the transformation of external relations since the waning phase of the first Gerhard Schroder cabinet after 11 September 2001.4 That is, Schroder is very different from Helmut Kohl as concerns German-American relations, and his source of power and influence in German politics differs from those of his Atlanticist predecessors. Thus, the analysis here turns to the role of German domestic politics in Berlin's external policy today, developments that have not always met with much understanding among foreign policy elites on these shores.
Third, there is the matter of security and defense policy in Germany, particularly the German aversion to extraterritorial operations-an aversion that, although such policy has given way to a much more global orientation since 1990, continues to brake German enthusiasm for sending soldiers overseas compared to, say, the British and French.5 As we shall see, in the formation of security and defense policy in Germany and the United States, the forces dubious about U.S. diplomacy and strategy in Germany find their echo, as it were, in those figures and institutions skeptical of the phenomena recently caricatured by Robert Kagan. …

Laura's Bio
My name is Laura and I am an experienced caregiver. I have worked as a nanny for three years now. I loved my kids I worked with as well as the families, however, I have now relocated to the Williamsburg area as my fiance is stationed at Langley AFB. I am a personal attendant for a child with special needs. I love my job and I love feeling like an asset to the family as I give their two handicapped children extra love and attention. I thoroughly enjoy helping with their Occupational Therapy and teaching them independence through routines and structure. I even get to partake in taking them to the Children's Hospital for therapy and found it fascinating. I loved learning how to better connect with them better. I am CPR and AED certified. I have references available from both families I have worked for. I have worked with children ages newborn to 12. I have past experience on a farm and I am comfortable with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, goats, and all gerbils. My favorite part of being a nanny is watching the impact I make on a family's life. I like to be a responsible role model for the children, while still having lots of old fashion fun like building forts, playing outside, and limiting time spent sitting in front of a tv. I like to help out around the house and do the dishes, laundry, help with homework, get dinner started etc so when the parents get home they can have family time. If you're interested please give me a call or email me for further inquiries. Thank you!

HRW expresses concern over deteriorating human rights condition in Afghanistan
Afghanistan's human rights situation has degenerated in key areas in 2013, increasing uncertainty about the country's future, Human Rights Watch (HRW) World Report 2014 revealed.
Government policies on human rights were negatively affected by the end-2014 deadline for the withdrawal of international combat forces and the negotiations over US troop presence after 2014, HRW said.
HRW said that the Afghan government under President Hamid Karzai made a series of decisions in 2013 that undermined human rights, particularly those of women and girl.
Taliban insurgents continued their campaign of targeted assassinations of government officials, including women.
According to the report, the opponents of women's rights took advantage of waning international interest in Afghanistan to begin rolling back the progress made since the end of Taliban rule in 2001.
Security is of key concern in the run-up to the presidential election planned in April 2014, having a particularly harmful effect on the participation of women who already have a severely limited role in Afghan political life, HRW said.

"This Week is About Us"
FLORHAM PARK–Everyone was present and accounted for during practice. Jason Taylor was limited, but Rex Ryan reiterated that he will be ready to go on Sunday. The rest of the limited group was the same: Drew Coleman, James Ihedigbo, Darrelle Revis and Brad Smith.
There has been a slight difference in tone this week from the past two. While there is still an air of confidence, there's not so much confrontation. The reason is fairly straightforward, the Jets have histories with both the Colts and the Patriots, but not with the Steelers in that same way. As James Ihedigbo said, "This week is about us."
The team is paying attention solely on what they need to do, with no overtones of proving they can beat the Patriots or that they can get the better of Peyton Manning. Therefore, the talk has quieted down and the team has turned its focus completely inward.
Everyone in the building seems to think this game is going to come down to the fourth quarter and they've been open about it from Ryan on down. But, there is calmness when they talk about it. Nick Folk, who has had a few spotty moments this season, said that he is ready for anything.
"You've got to embrace that pressure," Folk said. "If I ever get that opportunity, I'm looking forward to it."
Mike Westhoff talked about Heinz field itself, which has gotten a bad rap and said that the last time they played on it, it was much better. The field sees a ton of action with not just the Steelers, but the University of Pittsburgh and high school teams using it as well. However, according to Westhoff, they have re-sodded and he doesn't expect it to be a problem.
Ryan called Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau a legend and the second best coordinator in the league. So, who's No. 1? "I've got to give it to my brother being a twin," Ryan said. "If it was an older brother, no. But twin brother, I give him the nod."
There are a lot of Pittsburgh connections in the Jets organization including Jason Taylor who was born and raised there. This is the first Championship game of Taylor's career and playing it in his home town creates a lot of story lines. "This game is big for so many reasons," he said. "It's been a long journey to get to this point in my career. You know, never doubted it would happen, but didn't always expect it either sometimes."
He then laughed and related a conversation he had with Mike Pettine during practice. He said Pettine told him, "Make sure you don't drink any of that crap you guys drink before the games and get fired up because I'm sure you'll be hyped up enough, going back home and playing for a chance to go to the Super Bowl."
Mike Westhoff grew up in Pittsburgh and still has family there. In fact, his father, Jim, was a record-setting quarterback at Central Catholic. Guess who broke his records? None other than Dan Marino.
Brian Schottenheimer's father Marty is also a native of Pittsburgh so this is special for their family as well, and of course Darrelle Revis hails from Alquippa.
I had a chat with Shonn Greene about the fact that he's only in his second year in the NFL and is going to the AFC Championship game for the second time and how different that is from his fellow running back, LaDainian Tomlinson's experience. "I was actually thinking about that this morning," he said. "It's very difficult to get to the playoffs. For me and Mark (Sanchez) getting there two times in a row is crazy. It makes you appreciate it more."
Braylon Edwards has clearly become more and more comfortable as the season has gone on. Whether he's playing or talking to the media he has become a consistent presence. Brian Schottenheimer said that the one change he has noticed in Edwards that is likely affecting his play are his practice habits. He said that Edwards has now become one of the best practice players on the team and allows him to make the kind of plays he's been making of late. As Schottenheimer said, "That doesn't just happen."
Anecdote of the Day: Things in the locker room have taken an ugly turn – the beard situation has become a problem. Almost everyone on the team is growing a playoff beard. For many, it's just not going well. Some of those involved openly admit it's not going well. Others are in denial. Some people are trying to trim, which in some cases is actually making things worse. It has yet to be determined if there will be a mass shaving if they win on Sunday, or if these things will go right through the Super Bowl, should they get there. It is interesting to note that those guys who shave their heads, continue to do that, even if they're growing a beard.
Massive kudos to the PR Department for bringing in ice cream sundaes and gourmet cupcakes to the media room in the late afternoon.
Thursday's Media Count. I have no idea. My guess is around 65.

Top-ranked recipe named "Favorite Low Fat Broccoli Cheese Soup"
Cook broccoli until tender, drain. You can also use California blend of Frozen Veggies (Cauliflower and Broccoli Mix is very good).
Add fat free chicken broth, garlic, Rotel tomatoes with chilies. Bring to a simmer. Lower temperature and add Velveeta Lite a few minutes before serving. Stir until cheese melts. Serve.
This makes approximately 6-8 cups of soup at 1 weight watcher point per cup.
Sometimes I like to add a few torn up corn tortillas for something
different. Add 1 ww point for every 2 corn tortillas.

This editorial in today's OC Register looks like a clear case of buyer's remorse when if comes to backing a candidate for office — in this case, the candidacy of Shawn Nelson who won the June election to finish Chris Norbys term as 4th District Supervisor. While the Register didn't credit this blog for breaking…

Greed! So Called Pension Reformer Supervisor Shawn Nelson Spikes His Own Pension
by Chris Prevatt •
When I wrote last week of Shawn Nelson's pension plan selection, I did not realize that what I had learned was only the tip of an iceberg. As this iceberg has melted (probably the result of global climate change) Shawn Nelson's true character has become apparent.
Sidhu Slams Nelson for taking public employee pension

The inevitable fallout from our revelation last week that Shawn Nelson decided to opt-in to the county defined benefit pension plan has begun. In a press statement released this morning, 4th District Orange County Supervisor candidate Harry Sidhu slammed Supervisor Shawn Nelson for opting-in to the county employee retirement system. Below is the release: Harry…
Supervisor's Nelson and Moorlach Fail Their Own Pension Reform Integrity Test
by Chris Prevatt •
Shawn Nelson had the opportunity, as did Pat Bates and John Moorlach at the time they were elected as County Supervisors, to choose whether to opt in to the County Retirement system. Both Shawn Nelson and John Moorlach made the choice, despite their very vocal opposition to public employee pension plans, to take the very benefit they so strongly oppose.
Nelson on his county pension: "I was presented with only two options"

Fourth District County Supervisor Shawn Nelson called us Thursday afternoon to offer his explanation for his opting into the county's pension system, which he campaigned on reforming this Spring. Shortly after taking office, Nelson said that he was presented with a number of forms to fill out associated with his new job and the benefits…
Hypocrite! Shawn Nelson Opts To Take Government Pension
by Chris Prevatt •
I learned today that Supervisor Shawn Nelson decided to opt in to the County Pension Plan. I am still waiting to find out if he chose the Hybrid Plan, which he claimed on his first day was flawed, or if he took the plan that lets him retire at 55 years old.
Cash On Hand figures misleading in County run-off contests

NORCROSS -- Meadowcreek High School has plans for a big 25th anniversary celebration on Monday at the school.
Adrienne Wylie, an assistant principal at the school, said she's hoping that those invited to the event come out "to see how awesome Meadowcreek is."
"I want people to be able to come in and see that we've made an effort in giving people the opportunity to look back and see what Meadowcreek is all about," Wylie said.
With the help of other staff members and teachers at the school, Wylie created a committee for the 25th anniversary celebration.
"I wanted to make sure I got some good insights from the people who have been here for a while," she said. "Meadowcreek has changed so much. It's amazing the change that Meadowcreek has gone through."
Meadowcreek High School, which opened August 1986 to relieve overcrowding at Berkmar High School and Norcross High School, was named for the Meadows Family School and the Creek Indians, both of which were once located near the site.
The school's mascot is the Mustang. The school's colors are Carolina blue, navy and white. The colors and mascot were chosen in a vote by the first student body from a variety of choices.
Monday's event is scheduled for 6 p.m. in the school's theater. Meadowcreek High School is located at 4455 Steve Reynolds Blvd., Norcross.

A cancer cell may seem out of control, growing wildly and breaking all the rules of orderly cell life and death. But amid the seeming chaos there is a balance between a cancer cell's revved-up metabolism and skyrocketing levels of cellular stress. Just as a cancer cell depends on a hyperactive metabolism to fuel its rapid growth, it also depends on anti-oxidative enzymes to quench potentially toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by such high metabolic demand.
Scientists at the Broad Institute and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have discovered a novel compound that blocks this response to oxidative stress selectively in cancer cells but spares normal cells, with an effectiveness that surpassed a chemotherapy drug currently used to treat breast cancer. Their findings, based on experiments in cell culture and in mice, appear online in Nature on July 13.
The plant-based compound piperlongumine (PL), derived from the fruit of a pepper plant found in southern India and southeast Asia, appears to kill cancer cells by jamming the machinery that dissipates high oxidative stress and the resulting ROS. Normal cells have low levels of ROS, in tune with their more modest metabolism, so they don't need high levels of the anti-oxidant enzymes that PL stymies once they pass a certain threshold.
"Piperlongumine targets something that's not thought to be essential in normal cells," said Stuart L. Schreiber, a senior co-author and director of the Broad's Chemical Biology Program. "Cancer cells have a greater dependence on ROS biology than normal cells."
Sam W. Lee and Anna Mandinova, senior co-authors from the Cutaneous Biology Research Center (CBRC) at MGH, weren't looking for a ROS inhibitor when they found PL. Their interest lay in the tumor suppressor gene p53, which is mutated in more than half of all cancer types.
