said three people involved in the accident suffered minor
injuries and were taken to Tauranga Hospital by ambulance.
A female driver of one of the vehicles suffered serious
injuries and was taken to hospital by ambulance.
"It appeared the two cars were going the same way and someone
pulled out to overtake. I don't know what exactly happened
but one car was t-boned and hit directly on its side.
"It was a local girl, the driver, she took the impact on the
driver's side. She had serious pelvis injuries."
Ambulances from Tauranga, Te Puke and Mount Maunganui

Assistant Professor of Radiology (Pediatric Radiology) at the Stanford University Medical Center
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Over the past decade there has been tremendous advances in the field of Interventional Oncology with the clinical utilization of multiple new innovative locoregional therapies (i.e. chemoembolization, percutaneous ablation). Looking forward, our ability to superselectively deliver new therapies such as nanoparticles, stem cells and gene therapy will open new pathways for Interventional Radiology into the emerging field of Regenerative Medicine.
Daniel Thomas
Postdoctoral Research fellow, Stanford Cancer Center
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Whilst cancer is first a disease of unregulated cell proliferation, a small proportion of cells within a tumour are paradoxically in a relative state of quiescence. These chemotherapy-resistant cells are the likely culprits responsible for relapse but the signalling events that control this state are unknown. By studying purified populations of cancer stem cells derived from patients with acute myeloid leukemia my work is focused on defining novel targets for future therapy.
Robert Tibshirani
Professor of Biomedical Data Science and of Statistics
Current Research and Scholarly Interests My research is in applied statistics and biostatistics. I specialize in computer-intensive methods for regression and classification, bootstrap, cross-validationand statistical inference, and signal and image analysis for medical diagnosis.

Skip to comments.VERY URGENT PRAYER REQUEST FOR COMMON TATOR [Update @ #326]
Posted on 03/18/2009 7:12:42 PM PDT by Lisa_from Buckeye CountryEdited on 03/27/2009 4:29:41 PM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
Common Tator is very, very ill, battling cancer...lung, to his liver.
Latest on Common Tator (as of 03-27-2009):
My is so muddled right now, I don't know who to post this to.
Ray is completly out of it now, not able to speak. I talked to his step-daughter a few minutes ago, and she said it is basically just a matter of time. I was going down tomorrow to see him, but she said that they prefer only close family to be there. Although I feel like I am Ray's family, I will respect her wishes.
I'm just so blessed that just a few days ago, he gave me his last column, via telephone, which AF Phys helped me with. It's on another thread.
I hope this post makes some kind of sense. My heart is hurting, I just pray for Ray to have a peaceful passing, and his step daughter said she would call me when that happens.
I can't imagine my life without him. I guess I am in denial, I don't know. All I can do is ask for your prayers.
Admin Mod please post the update for me.
Love and prayers,
Prayers Up.
Prayers and love to both of you. Keep us posted.
Praying for a miracle for the Tator.

I was just thinking about him earlier today. Prayers up!
Common Tater, God bless and heal you! I thank the Lord above for his healing and for his love.
Lisa, I thank God for your healing along with CT!
God bless you both, and your families!
Damn man, I hate to hear this. You are a very good poster here. You are in mine and my family's thoughts and prayers.
Thank you Lisa for your devotion to your friend.
Can't go wrong with a name like 'Tator'! Many, many, many prayers going up! ^()^ <3<3<3 Stay strong!

You are both in my prayers.
Prayers up.

A Microsoft Slate by Christmas, CEO Promises
Tablet computers running Windows will be unveiled before the end of the year, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said Tuesday. But Mr. Ballmer didn't provide more details on the software giant's slow response to Apple's iPad.
"You'll see new slates with Windows on them. You'll see them this Christmas," he said in an address at the London School of Economics, Digits colleague Lilly Vitorovich reported. But there was no further word on crucial points like price, size and manufacturer — or even whether the slates would actually be on sale by that point.
Microsoft has faced criticism for its performance in the mobile market. Its Kin smartphones were pulled off the market after less than two months, and there is concern that it hasn't had a response to Apple's iPad, which poses an additional threat because it could eat into PC sales. Earlier this week, Goldman Sachs analysts downgraded Microsoft's stock to neutral, in part because of the "threat of notebook cannibalization from tablets, where Windows does not yet have a presence."
Mr. Ballmer in July said Microsoft has "got to make things happen" with Windows on tablet devices and that the company was "in the process of doing that right now."
On Tuesday, Mr. Ballmer put far more emphasis on so-called cloud computing, a term for services that are delivered over the Internet. Unlike mobile, cloud computing is an area where Microsoft has shown some strength, given its longterm relationships with businesses that are looking to move their services to the cloud.
The Source, the Journal's blog for European news., reported that he spent the first 30 minutes of his presentation on cloud computing and said it is the "major phenomenon" driving a "wave of invention" in the tech industry.

KSG- Single Point Sling Attachment
Customer Reviews
- You need this! Review by Beakaway500

Cons. Kind of a pain to have to remove and reinstall if the barrel assembly is removed for cleaning. Also allows any metal sling attachment to rub against the finish of the gun leaving permanent marks. (Posted on 9/21/15)
- K.I.S.S. Review by Sly Rendon
Ever since I installed this. I have had no regets problems or issues. I have not used. Any other type of single point system. This one leave you're K.S.G. looking clean. And I'll be damn it i could get the loops to hang on anything at anytime. They are set in tight. So no need to worry about that but still very easy to engage my mash hook without any problems. In my opinion. These are well worth the money, and you both side taken care of. Like in the summary "keep it simple stupid" it dont get much easier than this... (Posted on 5/6/15)

On the day after the recent massacre at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., police in Newport Beach, Calif., took a man into custody for allegedly firing more than 50 rounds from a semi-automatic handgun in the parking lot of a shopping mall. He aimed into the air and no one was hit, though one person was hurt slightly while running away. Police say 42-year-old Marcos Gurrola was destitute and frustrated with his circumstances. Firing dozens of rounds at the sky was his way of venting.

The Spurs cruised to their fifth straight win and 19th of their last 21 games thanks, in part, to 14 points from Tony Parker as well as eight points and 13 rebounds from Tim Duncan.
After Antonio McDyess hit a jumper in the closing seconds to give San Antonio a 50-40 lead going into halftime, a pair of dunks and a jumper by Lucas Aldridge pulled the Trail Blazers to within five at 57-52 with 6:37 left in the third.
But the Spurs then went on a 9-0 run, virtually icing the game at 66-52 with 3:18 left in the frame.
Oklahoma -- Kevin Durant scored 25 points and grabbed seven rebounds Sunday, pacing the Oklahoma City Thunder to an easy 106-77 win over reeling Cleveland.
Durant canned a 3-pointer to put the Thunder ahead for good at 10-8 midway through the first quarter. Oklahoma City then went on a 21-5 run, capped by James Harden's slam dunk with 57 seconds left in the frame.
Harden ended with 19 points off the bench and Jeff Green also contributed 19 for the Thunder, who won for the fourth time in five games.
Anthony Parker led the Cavaliers with 12 points and Anderson Varejao grabbed 16 rebounds to go with seven points as Cleveland dropped its eighth straight.

This is most likely due to something i did, just wondering if anyone has any tips.

BOSTON � A day after sending Jackie Bradley, Jr. to Pawtucket, general manager Ben Cherington made it clear Xander Bogaerts is in a different position.
�In our minds, this is where he needs to be,� Cherington said. �We want him to be our shortstop for the rest of this season and allow him to work through what he�s working through.�
Cherington acknowledged that Bogaerts, who carried a .226 average and .293 on-base percentage into Tuesday night�s game with the Angels, hasn�t met the organization�s expectations in 2014.
�Frankly, we did not expect him to go through struggles to this extent, because we�ve seen him be so good including at the major-league level,� Cherington said. �Sure enough, it�s happened. He�s battling through that, and we�re trying to help him in any way we can. It hasn�t changed at all what we think of him or what we feel he�s going to be.�
Cherington said the team has plenty of confidence in Bogaerts� ability to be a long-term shortstop, and that the Red Sox would like to commit to a position for him.
�I think because he went from shortstop to third base, there were more questions externally as to what his position was than we were asking internally,� said the GM. �We never felt like he couldn�t play shortstop. We still feel that way, so now we�re just getting an opportunity to see him play more there the rest of the year.�

Not only is it not EZ, it is apparently not possible. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
What a hamburger story, there is no discernible difference in the player from this year to last year. There ain't no way in the Klondike Ball's name is going to be called in the second round....get serious. Ball has upside on special teams and that is about it. If he can duplicate the production from the Nebraska game, even that probably would not move him up to the second round, and there aint no way he's going to rush anywhere near 200yds.
Its absolutely ludicrous to think Ball improved his draft position by hanging around. And, that was not the reason he hung around, he just wanted more college life and a crack at another rose bowl, so he reached his objective. But, at his size he aint going nowhere, and he does not have near the speed to go anywhere but to the back of the draft.Hide replies
You are really a miserable human being.
Ignore the troll..
Ball improved on lateral quickness, explosiveness and perhaps most importantly pass blocking. Whether he improved his stock remains to be seen. I suspect he'll be a late second round pick, and make a good addition to many teams. Not mention in the article is the fact that Ball can catch the ball, even though the Badgers seldom ask him to do so. He'll make a good third back, and could play on early downs for many teams.
If there were improvement there should be a statistical improvement in output. Nebraska was so inept and so completely outplayed there quite literally was no one to tackle Ball once he got by the line of scrimmage.
He's a nice college back, but will have a very short career in the NFL. He just does not have the speed and when you're that small you better be elusive. Ball will be squished; if he goes earlier than the 4th round someone is in dereliction of their duty.
I would think that someone who was so horribly, completely wrong about something not even 48 hours ago would want to 'lay low' for a while.
But that's just me....
Does not have the speed or size........isn't that what they said about Emmitt Smith?
He'd look nice in a Packer uniform for a 3rd round pick. IMO he is better than last year, has developed more open field moves and can catch out of the backfield.Hide replies
I'd be fine with him in the second. He is a willing blocker in pass protection; I have no idea if he's good enough at it.
Time2Vent (and any posts under a main post of his) just disappeared.
This week just keeps getting better!Hide replies
He'll be back with username 21 soon enough.
Thanks for the link. Nice to see an analysis with specific points instead of some broad general statement. Ball has looked awfully good second half of this year. Stiff arm Saturday sure was a guy running angry.
I kind of thought he should have gone last year mostly because of the wear and tear on his body another year would take and how NFL personnel view that. But I also felt that when a young man and his family make a decision as to what's best for him, we should respect it.
Jeff, everyone knows the rose colored glasses you see things with. While yes, it's good to be a fan, but I don't know how you can think coming back is good for him.
No way is this going to pay off for Montee Ball.
Last year he was thought to be a third round, maybe (in my opinion, likely) a second round pick. Now a second year contributor to NFL.com, who happens to be named Bucky, says he'll be a second round pick and suddenly that's redemption?
How can anyone think staying at WI helped him?
He could have been drafted round 2 a year ago. With ~2000 less yards on his tires when its all said and done. 332 attempts less! That's a lot of total mileage.
Look at where he could have been drafted...
St. Louis in round 2 - would have been a perfect fit for him
San Fran in round 3 - not as attractive, but Gore is almost out of there
Denver Broncos in round 3 - he could be starting right now
I don't think he would have went any lower than those guys went, and all 3 are looking at either a starting job next year, or the year after that.
Who wants to spend a second rounder on a RB who has 2000 more miles on him than he should? I think at this point Montee Ball goes end of round 3, maybe round 4, but he will be put in a situation where he is behind a pretty talented RB, kind of like how Toby Gerhart got the shaft, and Lamar Miller. Ball will sit for the majority of his first contract. Heck, he should be first heading into 2013. Could be a starting RB next season, with 2-3 years left on his first contract, set to be a FA at the age of 25, which is prime age for a running back in the NFL.
And we are forgeting the obvious; he came back for another year for free, when someone was offering him hundreds of thousands with a million plus signing bonus to do the same job.
Would you buy a 2013 brand new car, or a 2012 used car with extra mileage for the same price?Hide replies
JP simply provided a ink to an analysis by a guy who does these for a living. His conclusion is that Montee is a more well rounded NFL prospect than he was a year ago. If so, he will do well as no one here really knows where he would have gone or done last year.
And I'm offering an opinion why I think that's false.
I think he would have made an impact if he was drafted this last year. This year, I think he will be buried on a depth chart, not allowed to make an impact.
Interesting thought... What if Seattle take him round three? Not sure how old lynch is, I think 31-32?, but it would be fun to see a Wilson/ball reunion
I remember when Montee Ball was coming out of high school and he was evaluated by Kirk Herbstreit & Tom Lemming (who you know do this for a living) said he wouldn't make a major impact at the Div 1 level. They said he would be a good short yardage complimentary back, but not a feature back. They were right -___- no impact here. #sarcasm!!!!
Jus because I can be picky... Did Jeff write this in on his phone? "EZ"??
This comment has been deleted.Hide replies
Bucky Brooks is a sportswriter who covers the NFL for SI. Also played in the NFL for 5 years, including some time with the Pack.
The best available infomation last year projected Ball as a third round pick. Of course, projections can be wrong, and he could have gone as high as the second round, and as late as the fifth round. Early projections now say either the second round or the third. Those too could be wrong. Thus, it appears, but is not certain, that he increased his draft standing by as much as one round.
Most NFL players last exactly one contract (or play for minimum salary if they are resigned after getting cut). That means most players should aim to get paid with the first contract, as there is not likely to be a second one. The NFL rookie cap makes a dramatic difference between second and third round picks. If Ball moves up a round, financially, that would pay off for him, unless he last long enough for a second contract at more than minimum salaries. In that case, delaying free agency by a year could work against him.
By passing up the draft, Ball took a shot at winning the national title, the Heisman trophy and setting the NCAA touchdown record. Two of those goals fell short.
Was it worth it? Maybe. The jury is still out. Of course, there is more to life than money. Staying or goind was always a close call to me. Players projected as first round picks should generally go. After that, there are no obvious answers, and many players may be better off staying. Especially if they have the chance to improve their standing.
It looks like he's right back where he was a year ago with more mileage on his body. (Plus a concussion from an assault) Everyone looked great in the running game against Nebraska, not just Ball.

A shift of the oxygen dissociation curve to the right is often interpreted as an adaptation to hypoxia favorable for tissue oxygen supply. However, animals native to high altitude tend to show a rather high oxygen affinity. In order to elucidate this apparent discrepancy we investigated by numerical computer studies 1. the effect of a shift of the dissociation curve to the right as reflected in the mixed venous oxygen pressure, and 2. the role of this displacement in pulmonary gas exchange with particular reference to the alveolar-arterial oxygen pressure difference and the pulmonary diffusing capacity for oxygen. A right shift had a favorable effect only in the range of moderate hypoxia (and of normoxia) whereas there was a detrimental effect with severe hypoxia. The most important criterion for this distinction was the direction of the change in steepness of the physiological dissociation curve (straight line between arterial and venous points). A favorable effect was associated with a steeper slope after the shift, an unfavorable effect with a less steep slope. There was only a minor influence of a right shift on the oxygen diffusion gradient in the lung. Comparison between man (higher affinity) and rat (lower affinity) suggests that animals of small size with high metabolic rate (high arteriovenous oxygen difference) living in normoxic or possibly exposed to moderately hypoxic condition only are better served by a relatively low oxygen affinity whereas animals native to high altitude are better adapted to severe hypoxia when having a high oxygen affinity.

FOX's Batman Prequel 'Gotham' Finds Its Penguin, Alfred and More
"Gotham" cast line-up is expanding. The Batman prequel series has tapped more actors in key roles, including notable villain The Penguin and Bruce Wayne's butler Alfred Pennyworth, after casting Benjamin McKenzie as the central character, Detective James Gordon.
Robin Lord Taylor ("Accepted", "The Walking Dead") joins the cast as Oswald Cobblepot a.k.a. The Penguin. Described as having "the brains of a chess grandmaster and the morals of a jackal," he "is a low-level psychopath for gangster Fish Mooney who hides his sadistic lust for power behind an exquisitely polite demeanor."
Alfred will be portrayed by Sean Pertwee ("Elementary", "Camelot"). The iconic butler is "a tough-as-nails ex-Marine from East London who has loyally served Thomas and Martha Wayne for years. Now, in the wake of their tragic deaths, he is fiercely protective of their young son, Bruce."
Zabryna Guevara ("Burn Notice") is cast as Captain Essen, Gordon's boss at the GCPD Homicide Squad who "balances the two worlds of police and politics with a Machiavellian skill that's as much corporate litigator as cop."
Erin Richards ("Being Human", "Breaking In") lands the role of Barbara Kean, "a sophisticated emergency room doctor" who is engaged to Gordon. "Joyful but with an edge of vulnerability, she stands by her future husband which can be difficult in a world as corrupt as Gotham."
"Gotham" will explore the origin stories of Commissioner James Gordon. "The Mentalist" creator Bruno Heller is writing the pilot while Danny Cannon ("CSI: Crime Scene Investigation", "Nikita") is on board to direct and executive produce the pilot. More familiar faces such as the Joker, the Riddler and Catwoman are expected to be featured on the prequel series.

Dee-Ann LeBlancShared publicly -
It was suggested today that I consider targeting the YA/Crossover market with my dark urban fantasy. I had never considered touching the YA market, my stuff gets pretty dark and there's a lot of erotic content. My protag starts out at about 20, as well. So I dunno. Something to ponder. She said YA/Crossover is typically 19 and up so maybe.

Activision Blizzard Inc., currently embroiled in a legal shootout with two of its former game developers, has locked up the makers of "Halo" in an exclusive 10-year deal.
The company said Thursday it will bring to market the next big action game universe from Bungie, the video game studio behind "Halo," "Myth," and "Marathon."
It marks Bungie's first such partnership since breaking off from Microsoft in 2007.
Under the deal, Activision will have exclusive worldwide rights to publish and distribute all future Bungie games based on the universe on multiple platforms and devices.
Jason Jones, who co-founded Bungie in 1991 and led the creation of "Halo," is heading up the development team.
Multiple game releases and the creation of an online community are also part of the deal, executives said.
"We certainly think of the success we've built in `Halo' over the last 10 years as a minimum bar for the success we plan multiples of in the future," Harold Ryan, president of Bungie, said in an interview.
Thomas Tippl, Activision's chief operating officer, said Bungie laid out a compelling vision of the universe. "When it's ready and when we're talking about it, I think you will be blown away," he said.
Tippl described an ongoing legal battle with Jason West and Vince Zampella, top executives at game studio Infinity Ward, as "unfortunate and unique."
The two men have said they were fired recently by Activision so the company could avoid paying hefty royalties on last fall's hugely popular "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2." Activision has said in a countersuit that it fired them for insubordination and trying to poach key employees.
"I think the Infinity Ward situation is unique and unfortunate but it is not going to change our strategy nor our ability to attract the best talent in the industry," Tippl said.
He also said profit margins on game publishing, above 20 percent in fiscal 2009, would be helped by the new partnership.

Share The Lunar Beauty Advice!
And Don't Cut On The Wrong Day…
I'm always encouraging friends to follow my Lunar Hair Care advice in order to really get the most from their beauty regime.
This means cutting and removing hair in line with the lunar phases.
I wanted to make it easier for them, and you, with this simple guide that helps you to follow the movements of the moon, or watch my YouTube video here.
Introduction to Lunar Hair Care…
For thousands of years the moon has served us as a brilliant calendar, although in recent times we've relied on more convenient clockwork devices…
We know that the moon controls the tides, regulates our periods, some farmers even plant their crop in tune with it's phases (it's called Biodynamic Gardening).
Essentially the pull of the moon affects how fast or slow things here on planet earth will grow.
Women have used Mama Moon as a go-to guide for their Lunar Beauty Rituals for centuries, cutting and removing their hair in line with the moon's phases, depending on the desired effect – regrowth that's lessening or cutting for growth.
Looking at the night sky they'd notice the moon getting fuller over consecutive days (waxing), or watched it getting smaller (waning).
This dictated when they'd cut their lovely locks (or pluck out a rouge witches chin hair!)
I've been following this method for some time and am a total advocate – I even keep scissors handy, and ask my boyfriend to trim my hair on the full moon hour! Thank god he's a multiple Aquarius and totally accepts my weird and wonderful quirks…
Guide to the lunar phases for your beauty rituals…
The Waxing Phase
When the Moon is growing in the sky (known as the waxing phase) the rate of hair growth is rapid. Any cut or trim will only serve to keep those luscious locks flowing freely. This is the case right up until the Full Moon hour, when la Lune is at its most powerful (and I think that's the very best time for a haircut).
To take advantage of the momentum of the Moon and it's supportive phase for growth, you must cut hair in the run up to the Full Moon, not thereafter.
The waxing phase is also the optimum time to rejuvenate and repair the skin, replenishing it with all the good stuff like gorgeous vitamin enriched moisturisers. Your skin and hair is more absorbent during this time, and your nails grow faster too.
Conversely, once the Full Moon has shined brightly in the night sky to its optimum, it starts to 'wane'.
The Waning Phase
The waning phase sees hair slow its pace of growth, nails and skin too.
Repair is slightly harder to achieve on cuts and grazes and skin is less absorbent. However, it is a prime time to detox and draw out any of the bad stuff you want to get rid of – sweat it out in the sauna sister! Go to town with mud packs, and if you use those little pore strips you'll like the results better now – those blackheads will walk out of your nose on a Waning Moon! Treat yourself to that colonic too.
If you want a haircut to retain it's shape (some people don't like going to the hairdresser or barber all the time,) then have your haircut during the Waning Moon, as hair cut now will grow more slowly.
So, that's after the Full Moon, through to just before the New Moon.
By the time we're teetering into the New Moon, you have the very best time to wax, pluck or thread. Exfoliate and get rid of any unwanted body bits before it arrives because they'll be slower to return, see?
Another fact for you, our pain threshold is lower on a Full Moon and blood flows more freely, another reason to avoid a wax around the Full Moon!
Four stages for your understanding, and because I love ya!
After the Full Moon comes the phase where the Moon decreases. You might want to start a diet now, detox, exfoliate and get rid of any unwanted bits of body! Sweat it out in the sauna and steam, and why not consider a colonic? It'll be more effective now…
REMOVE UNWANTED HAIR in the Dark Moon phase, this is when the moon is akin to being in hibernation. Then starts the cycle again with the New Moon. Right now, if you were to see what was going on up there you'd notice that the Sun and Moon were sitting together! And then the moon pulls away…
If you can wax (and pluck, exfoliate etc.) just before the New Moon, in the dark moon days, this is the optimum time for slow growth – slower re-grow of the hair.
Waxing Moon – DO REPLENISH
Following the new moon la lune is in a growing phase, making its way to becoming full. Skin and hair are most absorbent so moisturise, repair any skin issues and get lots of vitamins into your body.
Waxing Moon – DO CUT – Bear in mind that a hair cut in this phase won't really hinder your locks from flowing, it's likely to encourage healthy growth instead during this phase.
Full Moon – CUT FOR GROWTH
The Full Moon itself is prime for cutting your hair so it grows thicker, faster and longer.
A manicure or file down will result in nails that are strong and grow quickly too.
Full Moon – DON'T WAX
Waxing hair could be more painful now, and it grow back rapidly and possibly thicker.
There are many ways to follow the phases of the Moon.
You'll notice lots of the diaries in shops have teeny tiny moons on the pages to show what stage she's at and I've also provided the Full Moon and New Moon dates 2015.
Why not bookmark this page as a handy guide?
And sign-up to the newsletter below, as I'm releasing a 2016 Lunar Calendar with astrological dates for your beauty rituals!
Lunar Hair Care – use it or loose it!
It's up to you if you embrace this ancient wisdom and take note of the Moon but really what have you got to loose? Reawaken this long forgotten tradition and see if you notice the magic of the Moon at work…

Patient Comments: Restless Leg Syndrome - Treatments
What method did you find most effective in treating your restless leg syndrome?
Comment from: Vivianne, 55-64 Female (Caregiver) Published: April 05
I have had restless leg syndrome for years and the only thing that has ever help me stop it when it starts is to wash my legs with a cold water face cloth. It seem to change the body temperature and then I fall asleep instantly thereafter and sleep all night long. It works well. Best of luck.
Comment from: Mazie, 75 or over Female (Patient) Published: March 25
I have been suffering with restless leg syndrome (RLS) for over 3 years. When a friend who has an autistic child was visiting me, she suggested lending me her child's weighted blanket to try on my leg at night. Reluctantly I accepted her offer. When I placed the blanket on my leg, within minutes, I had relief. Now I own a small weighted blanket and it does the trick every time.
Comment from: Tara, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: March 04
I have been a lifetime sufferer of restless leg syndrome (RLS). I finally discovered a cure. The problem is dairy. I found this out by accident. Eliminate it from your diet and you will be totally free of RLS. If I just have a glass of milk or put cheese on anything, bam, it is right back. Believe me, eliminate dairy and you will no longer have RLS. The culprit is a protein in milk called casein. It is super high in cow's milk. It doesn't seem like doctors have associated it with dairy yet, but I know many people who have discovered the milk/RLS connection and are relieved once it is eliminated from their diet, including me. Give it a try. You have nothing to lose but RLS symptoms for good.
Comment from: david, 65-74 Male (Patient) Published: December 10
I was using Sandoz pramipexole for restless leg syndrome (RLS) and it worked well for a long time. I tried quitting, and my RLS came back. I was starting to have some side effects from pramipexole. This may have been caused from a new medication I am taking. I am going back on pramipexole, anything is better than RLS.
Comment from: rlsbigtime, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: November 25
I read that iron deficiency may be the reason we suffer from restless leg syndrome. Mine is getting worse. Requip works but I am starting to need more in the middle of the night. I want to try anything that will help and maybe will mean I do not need extra dose of medicines. I wonder if I can find relief by increasing the iron in my diet. I see Grape Nuts, Total and some other cereals have high percentage of iron.
Comment from: FeelT2, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: March 22
I have suffered with restless leg syndrome (RLS) since I was very young. I had polio when I was about 7 years old. I thought maybe that had something to do with it. I had leg cramps usually, in the right leg, mainly the calf and foot, in my teens, during the day and night. This progressed, in my 20s, to the crawly feeling on my skin or liquid going down my legs. I always thought it was blood. I had the soles of my feet burning hot. Some of my sandals turned black, so I knew that it was not 'all in my head as many doctors told me. It hurt to have anything touching the bottom of my feet. I still have that problem now, at night mostly. I am 66 1/3 years old. I had insomnia already plus, my legs would not quit jerking and I had crawly feelings and jolts of electricity or stabs. It was also deep in my bones and it would feel as if something was chewing on my leg bones. Then, in my 30s, pain started in my right leg, then in both legs, up to the hips and including both feet. For the restless legs and cramps, which twist your feet and legs into impossible positions, quinine or quinidine once a day, at night. It really helped me. But you must take it daily and not just when you think it might happen. It is in tonic water but not enough to stop the leg camps or RLS. Hope that this has been helpful.

We stayed 4 nights.Room and bed very comfortable,not the hard Chinese bed at all.Ask for no smoking room in the upper floors (19th and 20th floor).Breakfasts repetitive,cold fried eggs,avoid orange juice ....anyway you'll find every day good fresh fruits.Avoid travel agency near front desk,they are unable to give you an answer,they don't understand English ,and moreover they know very few things,even elementary,about Chengdu and Sichuan .
Beware,reception seems to speak and understand English,but they don't....Anyway,they do the best possible due to the circumstances.
You'll find,leaving on the right,on the same pavement convenience store,wine store and cold beers;leaving on the left,on the opposite pavement,succulent pastry (salt or sugar) called 85C.

School Administrator Optimistic About State Funding
School Administrator Optimistic About State Funding
The Lyman School Board met Monday evening at 7 pm with all members present except Bob Fanning, who was out of town. Principal Cooper Garnos, who also serves as girls basketball coach, was absent also due to a out-of town ballgame.
Principal Julie Eppard present Mr. Garnos' principal report along with her own from the Kennebec site.
Mrs. Eppard reported attendance at Kennebec Elementary, which is on alert for below standard attendance recorded a 94.4 percent attendance for November. School attendance of 94 percent or above is required. Last year, Kennebec Elementary dipped below that mark to 93.7 percent, which put the school on alert. Mr. Eppard informed the board she credits the improvement to an incentive program initiated and the fact that teachers call the parent or guardian regarding extended absences.
Superintendent Eppard reported that he is working with Third District Planning on the Engergy Grant and the application for improvements, including a new heating/air condition unit at the mini gym, and doors and windows at the middle school has been submitted.
Mr. Eppard stated he was optimistic after hearing Gov. Daugaard's proposed 2013 budget address.
"We're not looking at any cuts in education," said Eppard.
"With a $101 increase in per pupil funding, plus the one-time funds that will add about $31, it will be slightly more than we received last year," added the superintendent.
Due to decrease in enrollment numbers Eppard expects the district to be down about $90,000 in funding.
Enrollment numbers continue to fluctuate but remain in 350 to 360 area. "About where I thought we'd be for this school year," said Mr. Eppard.

This year's Outguess Ebert contest seems a little like shooting fish in a barrel. For the first time in many a year, maybe ever, I think I've guessed every one correctly.A few years ago, I came across an article about the newly identified psychological concept of Elevation. Scientists claim it is as real as love or fear. It describes a state in which we feel unreasonable joy; you know, like when you sit quiet and still and tingles run up and down your back, and you think things can never get any better.
I tried applying it to that year's Oscar nominees. Did it work any better than any other approach? You need Elevating nominees. An example of Elevation would be when the bone morphs into a space station in "2001." Did I feel Elevation in making any of my Guesses this year. That doesn't mean it was a bad year at the movies. Harvey Weinstein, accepting his achievement award from the Producers' Guild, said he thought 2012 was the best in 90 years. Maybe he felt Elevation when he gazed upon the Weinstein Company's box office figures.

Marie writes: Not too long ago, Monaco's Oceanographic Museum held an exhibition combining contemporary art and science, in the shape of a huge installation by renowned Franco-Chinese artist Huang Yong Ping, in addition to a selection of films, interviews and a ballet of Aurelia jellyfish.The sculpture was inspired by the sea, and reflects upon maritime catastrophes caused by Man. Huang Yong Ping chose the name "Wu Zei"because it represents far more than just a giant octopus. By naming his installation "Wu Zei," Huang added ambiguity to the work. 'Wu Zei' is Chinese for cuttlefish, but the ideogram 'Wu' is also the color black - while 'Zei' conveys the idea of spoiling, corrupting or betraying. Huang Yong Ping was playing with the double meaning of marine ink and black tide, and also on corruption and renewal. By drawing attention to the dangers facing the Mediterranean, the exhibition aimed to amaze the public, while raising their awareness and encouraging them to take action to protect the sea.
Anne Thompson writes on Indiewire: "While any Joel and Ethan Coen movie is worth waiting for, many of us are champing at the bit to see "Inside Llewyn Davis," their portrait of the 60s Greenwich Village folk scene that spawned Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Mimi and Richard Farina and the inspiration for this film, Dave Van Ronk. Some of us hoped to see the film loosely based on Van Ronk's memoir "The Mayor of MacDougal Street" in time for the 2012 holiday season, but it's more likely to turn up in Coen-friendly Cannes."

The star is Oscar Issac (from "Drive"). The cast includes Coen favorite John Goodman, Carey Mulligan and F. Murray Abraham.

I packed my bags last night, pre-flight Zero hour, 9 a.m. And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then. -- Elton John & Bernie Taupin, "Rocket Man" (1972)
Cinema, for me, has always been something like music composed with photographic images. Others see it more like "action painting," and we've seen a lot of discussion in recent years about what J. Hoberman and others have called "post-photographic cinema," in which computers have replaced cameras, and animation has replaced photography, as the primary means of creating images on a screen. (Hoberman: "With the advent of CGI, the history of motion pictures was now, in effect, the history of animation.") "Flight" is Robert Zemeckis's return to live-action photography for the first time since "Cast Away" (2000), after a series of IMAX 3D animated adventures: "The Polar Express" (2004), "Beowulf" (2001) and "A Christmas Carol" (2007). It's also a return to making movies aimed at an adult audience -- and one that proved to be a different, and more interesting, than the movie I'd seen advertised in the trailer.
Robert Zemeckis' new film "Flight" (2012) returns us to the terrain of live action after his three consecutive animated films (two of which were happy movies about Christmas). Here, he makes it clear from the very first scene that this is a far edgier Zemeckis. It is far more graphic and far more emotional than anything we have previously seen from him. The result is on the outside a big budget public service announcement, while on the inside, a film far more complicated than it seems.
The story of Ben Affleck's "Argo" concerns the real-life rescue of six fugitive American embassy employees from Ayatollah "Salman Rushdie Fatwa" Khomeini's Iran in 1980. The Canadian ambassador, Ken Taylor, hid them in his home until they were smuggled out of the country 79 days after the takeover of the embassy by Iranian militants. But the movie is more substantially interested in the nature of movies themselves, and how stories get turned into them. Since its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival last month, "Argo" has been praised as "a crackerjack thriller" (the kind of argot movie reviewers use) and criticized for downplaying the Canadians' considerable efforts and not being, you know, "historically accurate. I'm sore-y, we know it's Based On A True Story and all, but that's not really what this movie is aboot.
There's a tense scene in Ben Affleck's new thriller "Argo" that dramatizes how the magic of Hollywood is potent all over the world. The movie, based on a true story, involves a cockamamie scheme to rescue six American embassy workers during the 1979 Iran hostage crisis by passing them off as location scouts for a non-existent science-fiction epic.
Marie writes: I may have been born in Canada, but I grew-up watching Sesame Street and Big Bird, too. Together, they encouraged me to learn new things; and why now I can partly explain string theory.That being the case, I was extremely displeased to hear that were it up Romney, as President he wouldn't continue to support PBS. And because I'm not American and can't vote in their elections, I did the only thing I could: I immediately reached for Photoshop....

The winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture will be Ben Affleck's tense new thriller "Argo." How do I know this? Because it is the audience favorite coming out of the top-loaded opening weekend of the Toronto Film Festival. Success at Toronto has an uncanny way of predicting Academy winners; I point you to the Best Pictures of the last five years in a row: "No Country for Old Men," "Slumdog Millionaire," "The Hurt Locker," "The King's Speech" and "The Artist."
