NHS rationing 'is denying patients care' as cash crisis deepens (The Guardian: 8 December 2015)
Patients are being denied mental health care, new hips and knees, and drugs to boost their recovery from illnesses including cancer as the NHS increasingly rations treatments to try to overcome its growing cash crisis.
A survey of doctors reveals that three-quarters said they had seen care rationed in their area over the last year – including treatments such as speech therapy, operations to remove varicose veins, Botox to help children with cerebral palsy move better and even potentially life-saving stem cell transplant surgery.
Disabled children were having to use ill-fitting wheelchairs, teenage girls were banned from accessing medication to tackle male-style hair growth and women had been unable to access surgery to have breast enlargements or reductions as a result of growing restrictions across England, the research concluded.
Medical organisations said the findings showed patients were paying the price because an underfunded NHS was having to force them to wait for care or deny it altogether...read more
Only support service for vulnerable people with HIV in Leeds to be axed by city council (Yorkshire Evening Post: 15 October 2015)
Leeds' only HIV support service faces closure, prompting fears it could leave hundreds of vulnerable people at risk.
BHA Leeds Skyline, on The Headrow, has received notification from Leeds City Council that its contract will not be renewed as of March 31 next year.
The council cited the £2.8million public health cut handed down by the Government earlier this year as a major reason for the decision but said it will work with service users and staff to address any uncertainty.
English people with rare eye condition may be forced to move to Scotland to 'save their sight', says charity (The Independent: 25 July 2015)
English people living with a rare eye condition may be forced to move to Scotland or Wales to "save their sight", the country's leading charity for the blind has said, after the NHS refused to fund routine access to treatments.
The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) said it was considering legal action over NHS England's decision not to recommended routine use of the drugs Humira and Remicade for patients with a severe form of the inflammatory eye condition, uveitis.
Both drugs are routinely available in Scotland and Wales and their use is standard practice in many other countries. A trial of Humira for one group of paediatric uveitis patients, taking place in the UK, was stopped early because overwhelming evidence of the drugs' benefit meant it was deemed unethical to continue giving some children placebo.
However, NHS England concluded there was "not sufficient evidence" to recommend routine use.
Eating disorder patients' lives at risk due to long waits for NHS treatment (The Guardian: 14 June 2015)
The lives of people seriously ill with eating disorders are being put at risk because they have to wait up to three years for NHS treatment.
Experts warn that specialist services are struggling to cope with a growing caseload and are so overstretched they have to prioritise patients with anorexia, because they are at greatest risk, ahead of those with bulimia – even though their condition is seriously affecting their lives.
Patients forced to endure long delays are at greater risk of serious damage to their health because it deteriorates while they are waiting. They also have a smaller chance of making a full recovery.
Some people wait so long they are forced to pay for help privately or get help abroad – in South Africa, the US and elsewhere – to tackle conditions that have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness.
Psychiatrists who treat people with eating disorders – often girls and young women – say NHS services are so inadequate that in some places patients who are very unwell have to lose more weight to qualify for treatment.
Mental health could retain Cinderalla status under Tories, warns ex-minister (The Guardian: 3 June 2015)
Mental health care will remain "a Cinderella service" and not get its long-planned equality with physical health in the NHS because the Conservatives will deny it the money it needs, the MP who was the minister for mental health until the election is warning.
Significant recent progress to improve mental health will stall, and a "historic opportunity" to ditch its status as the "poor relation" of physical ailments will be lost, if ministers do not put more than the promised £8bn extra into the NHS by 2020, Norman Lamb said.
The Liberal Democrat leadership candidate fears plans for new waiting time targets for people with conditions such as anxiety and depression to access treatment will be scrapped unless ministers plough £3.5bn into mental health over the next five years.
Obese patients denied surgery by NHS rationing (GP: 10 June 2015)
GP leaders slammed the 'rationing' of NHS services and warned that the restrictions on access to care appeared to breach the NHS Constitution.
NHS England's national commissioning criteria for bariatric surgery could prevent GPs from referring patients for bariatric surgery in line with NICE guidance.
The NICE clinical guideline Obesity: Identification, assessment and management of overweight and obesity in children, young people and adults was issued in November 2014.
It recommends bariatric surgery as a treatment option for patients with obesity if they 'have a BMI of 40kg/m2 or more' or a BMI 'between 35kg/m2 and 40kg/m2 and other significant disease'.
It adds that 'all appropriate non-surgical measures have been tried' and the patient 'has been receiving or will receive' intensive management in a 'tier three' service.
The NICE guidance does not impose any time restrictions on access to care. But NHS England's commissioning policy stipulates that the patient must have 'received and complied' with a tier three or four weight-loss management service 'for a duration of 12-24 months' in order to qualify for bariatric surgery. It also dictates that the patient must have been morbidly obese – BMI 40 or higher – 'for at least five years' to be eligible for the potentially lifesaving treatment.
NHS vasectomies rationed as health service forced to make cuts (Daily Mirror: 25 May 2015)
Free vasectomies are being rationed in some parts of the country, as the NHS is forced to cut costs.
One commissioning group has told GP practices to cap the number of snips offered to patients.
Each surgery in Basildon and Brentwood, in Essex, has been sent a letter assigning them a specific amount of vasectomies for the 2015/2016 financial year, ranging from 11 to one.
Three surgeries are believed to have been told they can refer just one man a year for the procedure, which is a permanent method of contraception.
NHS crisis: Damning report reveals nurses are too stretched to feed and care for patients (Daily Mirror: 13 April 2015)
Patients are being denied pain relief, food and water due to NHS cuts, a damning report has revealed.
Disturbingly, 65% of nurses said the sick are missing out on basic care because of the chronic understaffing.
It shames the Tories – who have slashed the health budget by £20billion – as they launch their election manifesto.
The Patients Association said the Unison report filled it "with horror".
Now David Cameron's boasts about the NHS being in good health are exposed as a sick joke.
The explosive report reveals vulnerable people are being left for hours because nurses are so overstretched that they are having to take responsibility for more patients than is safe.
The frail and elderly are going without basics such as food and water because of staff shortages.
NHS treatment cuts 'lack consistency' (Laboratory Talk: 2 March 2015)
During 2011, England's NHS was tasked with finding £20 billion of efficiency savings over four years, in part by reducing the use of ineffective, overused or inappropriate procedures.
However, a report published today by researchers at Imperial College London (ICL) has found that an absence of clear national guidance about which procedures to perform less has caused inconsistency among NHS commissioning groups.
"Our research revealed a lack of consistency between commissioning organisations regarding which procedures were cut," said Sophie Coronini-Cronberg, from the School of Public Health at ICL, who led the study.
"With little national guidance about which procedures to remove or restrict funding for and under which circumstances, commissioners may be turning to locally developed, unofficial lists and criteria of low-value treatments," Coronini-Cronberg said.
"This urgently needs to be addressed to avoid local variations. Arbitrary decision-making needs to be replaced with objective, consistent, evidence-based policies."
Women 'denied fertility treatment due to NHS cuts' (ITV News: 23 October 2014)
NHS trusts are denying thousands of women across Britain fertility treatment in a bid to cut costs, a health watchdog has warned.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) said couples struggling to conceive are being subjected to unfair "postcode lotteries", causing "widespread inequality".
Meanwhile fertility groups have warned many women are having to resort to costly private care because NHS provision is so patchy and hard to access.
Nice warned that fewer than one in five commissioning groups are paying for the full number of IVF cycles recommended.
And the commissioning group covering mid Essex will not fund IVF treatment unless there are "clinically exceptional circumstances".
Professor Gillian Leng, deputy chief executive and director of health and social care at Nice, said: "Infertility can have a potentially devastating effect on people's lives - it can cause significant distress, depression and possibly lead to the breakdown of relationships.
Two-thirds of Britons with depression get no treatment (The Guardian: 13 August 2014)
Less than a third of people with common mental health problems get any treatment at all – a situation the nation would not tolerate if they had cancer, according to the incoming president of the Royal College of Psychiatrists.
While the health secretary, Jeremy Hunt, has pledged to deliver "parity of esteem" for mental and physical health services, the treatment gap is now so huge that it may prove impossible to bridge in the current financial climate, said Professor Simon Wessely of King's College London in his first interview since election to the post.
"People are still routinely waiting for – well, we don't really know, but certainly more than 18 weeks, possibly up to two years, for their treatment and that is routine in some parts of the country. Some children aren't getting any treatment at all – literally none. That's what's happening. So although we have the aspiration, the gap is now so big and yet there is no more money," he said.
The UK's small rural GP surgeries fear for their future (BBC News: 21 July 2014)
GPs running small practices in isolated rural parts of the UK say they fear for their future.
The Royal College of GPs' Rural Forum claims recruitment and workload issues could result in some surgeries going the same way as village post offices.
The Forum accepts that its 800 members will need to find new and imaginative ways of working.
NHS England says better use of new technology and pooling administration could help many rural practices.
Elderly patients are being failed by NHS, says new boss (BBC News: 4 June 2014)
The care of frail elderly patients has become fragmented because of the drive for hospital doctors to specialise, the new boss of NHS England says.
Simon Stevens suggested he wanted to see a European model of "generalists" adopted to work alongside specialists.
He told a conference of health managers that the rise in multiple conditions required greater co-ordination of care.
The speech builds on comments he made last week about ensuring there was a role for smaller hospitals in the NHS. In recent years there has been a focus on creating larger, specialist hospitals.
But Mr Stevens said that while that was desirable in areas such as stroke care, smaller hospitals still had an important role to play.
Mr Stevens said the large expansion in consultant numbers - up by three-quarters since 2000 - had led to more and more specialisation by consultants.
He told the NHS Confederation's annual conference that while this was desirable it had sometimes "fragmented care for older inpatients".
Councils using NHS funds meant for improved elderly and mental healthcare to prop up existing social care, study finds (Pulse: 14 May 2014)
Local authorities are using funds from the NHS to keep existing social care services afloat, it has been claimed. MHP Health, a healthcare consultancy, analysed how councils spent £1.5bn worth of funding transferred from the NHS in 2012-2014, which was aimed at improving care for vulnerable patients such as the elderly and the mentally ill. However, it concluded that the largest category of spend was on maintaining the eligibility of existing social care services, with relatively little spent on mental health services.
The report authors said these findings questioned whether the Government's Better Care Fund - the £3.8bn fund to integrate health and social care budgets - would succeed. The MHP Health report, out today, found that 'local authorities allocated £349m across the two years to maintaining eligibility criteria aimed at ensuring access to existing services'...read more
Mentally ill 'die earlier due to NHS failures' (The Independent: 6 May 2014)
People with mental illnesses and intellectual disabilities are dying earlier as a result of a failure to address their needs by the NHS, the doctors' union has warned.
Urgent action is needed to ensure equal value is placed on both patients' mental and physical health in the face of "distressing" evidence about the life expectancy of the mentally ill and people with learning disabilities, a report by the British Medical Association (BMA) board of science has said.
The physical health problems of patients with a mental illness or intellectual disability are "all too often" under-addressed, the report said, while the mental health of patients with a physical illness is frequently neglected.
Cuts to funding – which have seen 1,711 mental health beds closed since April 2011 while therapy sessions for those with a mental illness are limited to just 20 on the NHS – have compounded the disparity, the report said.
Reward healthy people with tax rebates to save the NHS, urges thinktank (The Guardian: 1 May 2014)
Britons should be rewarded with tax rebates for giving up smoking, staying slim or drinking less as a way of relieving the "mind-boggling" increase in demand for NHS care, a thinktank urged on Thursday.
20/20 Health says incentive schemes that reward healthy lifestyles would encourage people to be more responsible about looking after themselves and avoiding damaging habits. They should be available for those who do not become ill or prove good at managing conditions such as diabetes, it suggests.
"We propose 'payment by results', a financial reward for people who become active partners in their health, whereby if you, for example, keep your blood sugar levels down, quit smoking, keep weight off, [or] take on more self-care there will be a tax rebate or an end of year bonus," it says in a report on the NHS's future.

Lake Charles wide receiver signs with Lamar
Published 12:20 pm, Tuesday, May 13, 2014
Lagrange High School standout Martell Hawthorne has signed a national letter of intent to continue his education and play football at Lamar announced head coach Ray Woodard Monday afternoon. Hawthorne becomes Lamar's 18th signing, joining a class of 10 high school standouts and seven transfers who signed with the Cardinals in February.
"This is a heck of a signing for us this late in the season," said Woodard. "Martell brings a lot of size and speed to our receivers. We have a really good group of receivers returning, and we talked about if we were going to sign another one we wanted someone with good size – a big target. He is going to be a great asset for us. This is a great way to put the finishing touches on a very talented signing class."
No stranger to hard work, Hawthorne hit the weight room early in his high school career and battled his way into the starting lineup during his sophomore season and never looked back. His hard work and dedication paid off in the form of team and individual honors as a senior. Hawthorne guided the Gators to a district title, and received first-team all district honors this past season.
"Martell is a young man who has been in our program for four years," said Lagrange High School head coach Jules Sullen. "The difference in his growth as a player has been night and day. His nickname was 'Bean' because he was so small and skinny when he started with us, but he understood the value of hard work. He put in the time and effort in the weight room and became a starter as a sophomore.
"He will be a great asset to Lamar," said Sullen. "He is a 6-4 guy who weighs 200 pounds and runs like a deer, but one of his greatest assets his he understands how academics plays an important role in his athletics career."
A Rivals two-star athlete, Hawthorne hauled in 32 catches for 683 yards and nine touchdowns as a junior. He also received recruiting attention from Tulane, South Alabama, Louisiana-Lafayette and Louisiana-Monroe.

facesaerch interface manifesto

There are different kind of users out there, with different thoughts, needs, work flows and goals.
First i looked via Google insights at the distribution of search demand for Microsoft, Linux and Apple since 2004. (MS = blue, linux = red, apple = orange)
Well, the interest in Microsoft and Linux goes down (seen as a trend, not overall figures) and hey, i think that is a great thing, the OS, the desktop becomes more irrelevant over time, the web is the new OS, Firefox the new desktop. Nonetheless, i looked in a more detail at the last 90 days.
Do you see the strange "potholes"?
What's more important, Linux and Microsoft have the same potholes. While Apple goes up, overall, but Apple also goes up when Microsoft and Linux go down. Oh yeah, the "Up's" all occur on weekends.
The conclusion is quite simple: we work and suffer with MS and Linux, we relax with Apple on the weekends. If you have another conclusion, there is a great comment box at the end of this post.
Great, facesaerch (with ae) has new sitelinks, not only for the generic "correct" written term "facesearch" (see old post)
note "facesearch" is suggested to be corrected as "fotosearch" … why?
now my brand brand "facesaerch" (ae) has the sitelinks, too
facesaerch, now is recognized as the best target for his own brand brand plus the "Did you mean:" is gone. Making it officially, facesaerch is not a misspelling, but a brand brand in it's own right.

Melissa of the awesome sewing blog Melly Sews has a passel of charming free sewing patterns, with so many that I had a difficult time picking just one to feature. We chose this free men's casual shirt pattern and tutorial, where she talks about how she used a pattern-making technique called the rub-off, that she learned from the book Patternmaking for a Perfect Fit in order to make a bespoke pattern for her husband (and a Math gEEk shirt for her little brother.) We adore this photo of her seriously studious brainiac brother modeling his shirt, and channeling John Forbes Nash from A Beautiful Mind by recreating mathematic formulas on glass.

Two new power-ups are featured in "Five", one of which is exclusive to the map.
The Death Machine power-up gives the player a handheld minigun for 30 seconds. While the player is holding the power-up, they are unable to buy any weapons or Perk-a-Colas, nor can they revive downed players. The Death Machine has infinite ammo for the 30 seconds, and won't overheat.
The Bonfire Sale can only be obtained if the players kill the Pentagon Thief before he steals any players' weapon. Upon retrieval, all Teleporters will link to the Pack-a-Punch room. In addition, the price of the Pack-a-Punch Machine will be reduced from 5000 points to 1000 points.
Crawler Zombies return from Kino der Toten, and will only spawn if any players are located in the labs.
A new enemy, the Pentagon Thief, debuts with, and is exclusive to, "Five". He replaces Hellhounds from previous maps. The Thief will attempt solely to steal players' weapons, and will not injure or kill them. Depending on how players react and whether or not they kill him, they are subject to different power-ups upon his death.
Boardroom (Starting room)Edit
This room contains four windows made of glass that can be destroyed and replaced with regular barriers, and two sections of wall that can be broken down. It contains the Quick Revive machine and a telephone required for the musical Easter egg. It also contains a teleporter (active only after the power has been turned on), and the Olympia and M14 available for purchase off the wall, both for 500 points. When the power is turned on, this room gets very dark, and the lights are either dimmed or flickering. Of the six spawns in the very first room, only four spawns are used; however, these spawn points change when the power is turned on. This room also features one of two traps, which can become accessible after finding the operating mechanism, one is in the room with the Bowie Knife; while the other is in the dark spot behind the computer terminal nearest the lift that goes from the war-room to the lab. After adding it on the middle of the metal detector, located in the hallway with Quick Revive, it can be activated for 1000 points, and will function like the Electro-Shock Defenses from Der Riese and Kino der Toten.
This room is the only one that connects to the starting room. There are two doors that lead to this room; both will open when one is bought for 750 points. It contains two windows and two sections of wall that can be broken down. It also contains the first elevator which takes the player down to the War Room. This room also has Speed Cola and an MPL available for purchase from the wall for 1000 points. This room features the second of two traps, which like the first one, requires the operating mechanism to be found and placed.
First ElevatorEdit
To access it, one must remove a barricade blocking it, costing 1000 points. Trips cost 250 points, both up and down. Zombies can get into the elevator to attack the players. There is little room to navigate in the elevator, so even a few zombies getting in can be devastating. The flames that appear get rid of the already killed zombies inside the elevator.
War RoomEdit
This room is the biggest actual room in the level, split into different sections. The first elevator takes the player to the top floor of the War Room which contains four windows, an MP5K and a PM63, both of which cost 1000 points, and the Double Tap Root Beer machine. The player must then buy access to the bottom floor of the War Room for 1000 points. The bottom floor is divided by two barriers that must be bought for 1250 points each. It also contains the Juggernog machine, the Mule Kick machine, a Stakeout for 1500 points, and the second elevator that takes the player down to the lab area. This room is connected to the bunker and contains the four switches that must be flipped to decrease the DEFCON level to DEFCON 5, which makes all teleporters go to the Pack-A-Punch room/Panic Room. There is also a teleporter located in the center of the room. It also contains the trap box that can be placed in the player's inventory and later used in the top floor metal detectors. The top level of the War Room is the room where players are usually killed because occasionally someone will not guard a window, which will result in a break-in. The bottom level of the War Room can be taken care of easily if the players stay together.Cargo ElevatorEdit
This elevator is much larger than the first and has a window on each level to make camping in the elevator more difficult. It also faces different ways depending on which level it's on. This elevator, like the first, costs 250 points to use between trips. Zombies can swarm players in this elevator easily as well. If several zombies become trapped in the elevator between floors it is possible to run around them in circles until the doors open again, assuming the player has Juggernog.
Lab AreaEdit
This area is made up of hallways and rooms and is accessed by the elevator from the War Room. It contains the Power Switch and a telephone required for the musical Easter egg. Once the Lab Area is accessed, Crawler Zombies will spawn while a player is in the Lab Area, teleporters and Perk-a-Cola machines will be activated, the DEFCON level can be changed, and the path to the Bunker is available. The area itself contains several teleporters. The M16 and the AK74u can also be purchased in the Lab Area for 1200 points each.
Testing RoomEdit
This room seems to have been a testing room as there is a live pig hanging from a crane which can be killed and some human corpses, very similar to the Nova 6 test subjects in "Rebirth". Claymores and a Mystery Box spawn are located here. It also contains two windows and several doors.
Weapons Testing RoomEdit
This room seems to have been used for weapon testing, as there is an unusable Winter's Howl, Thundergun, Death Machine, and Ray Gun which can be found here. There is one Mystery Box spawn and the Bowie Knife is located in there. This room is closer to the teleporters that return them to the same floor level of the Labs, albeit on the other side of the Labs. One of the trap pieces can be found in a locker in this room.
Small Lab RoomEdit
This room isn't very big. It contains a Mystery Box spawn and purchasable M67 Fragmentation Grenades for 250 points.
"Panic Room"Edit
The 115 Clearance Room is attached to the War Room and can be accessed once the power is turned on and DEFCON switches are decreased to 5. As long as someone is in the room, it will remain open, but if no one is in the room, the doors automatically close. It contains one of the telephones required for the musical Easter egg and the Pack-a-Punch Machine, which after a limited time turns around back into the wall, so if someone Pack-a-Punches, they will have to do it quick, or risk losing their weapon. It also contains two windows and a teleporter, which zombies cannot come into the room from.

Thief RoundEdit
In "Five", a Thief round will occur some time after round six, as long as the power has been turned on.
- Following the first appearance, a thief round will occur from then on approximately every four rounds. He will never appear within three rounds of the last attack, but for the fourth round and after there is a 50/50 chance he will appear.
- Like the Hellhounds, this is a special round with no regular zombies. Unlike the Hellhounds, the thief cannot down the player.
- The Thief will appear in a red cloud after the screen fuzzes into blue.
- A low, digital-like growling noise can be heard as the Thief gets closer.
- The Thief first appears only to the player he's targeting, but will become visible to players who've been targeted or are being targeted. He will then proceed to try and steal a weapon from every other player.
- If the Thief does catch up to a player, he will take the gun the player has equipped. This can be excruciating in later rounds, especially if the player has a high-powered and/or upgraded weapon equipped. The Thief will run around through the teleporters, until reaching the teleporter which in the room with the Power Switch, upon which the Thief vanishes. The player can kill the Thief, or fail and lose their gun.
- The Thief is not attracted to Monkey Bombs.
There are multiple consequences that play out depending on how the players deal with the Thief as listed below.
- Killing the thief after he steals a weapon will result in all weapons returned, a Max Ammo, and a Fire Sale.
- Killing him before he steals anyone's weapons will result in a Max Ammo, and a Bonfire Sale, which links all teleporters to the Pack-a-Punch room and drops the price to 1000 points.
- Ignoring him altogether or failing to kill him will result only in a Max Ammo.
He will only spawn after the power is turned on. It is best to find which player the Thief is chasing so that player can run around on the middle floor. Other players that are not targeted can shoot him down without being at risk of any weapons being taken. Once a player has been targeted, he will be visible to that player until he either escapes or dies.
Another major gameplay element of this map is the DEFCON (Defense Readiness Condition) feature. In the War Room of the Pentagon, there are a series of switches that will increase the Pentagon's DEFCON level. After hitting four switches, and putting the Pentagon at DEFCON 5, a secret "Panic Room" will open up. This room contains the Pack-a-Punch machine. The Pack-a-Punch room will close once everyone has left the "Panic Room". To open it again, the DEFCON must be lowered to five again. The room will remain open as long as one player is in the room, but when the doors are open the Pack-a-Punch Machine disappears. The DEFCON system is one of the only ways to access the Pack-a-Punch on this map. When the DEFCON is lowered, all teleporters will go directly to the Pack-a-Punch room. The only other way to enter the Panic Room is with the Bonfire Sale power-up, negating the use of the DEFCON switches to get in, although getting the power-up is challenging, and can only be obtained if the Pentagon Thief is killed before he steals any weapons.

Opening Scene TranscriptEdit
The screen is shown as completely black, and John F. Kennedy can be heard speaking.
John F. Kennedy: For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who only look to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.
The screen changes to showing Kennedy in black and white, sitting at a table.
John F. Kennedy: I said, 'are certain to miss the future'!
Fidel Castro: [laughs] Coño... I missed that.
Robert McNamera steps into the room near Castro.
Robert McNamera: Prime Minister Castro, this missile crisis was the last straw. We almost blew ourselves up. Now we invited you here today...
John F. Kennedy: In good faith!
Robert McNamera: ... in good faith, to sort this thing out.
Robert walks away.
Fidel Castro: (pointing at Nixon) And why is he here? He lost!
Nixon is shown sitting with them at the table, annoyed at Castro's remark.
John F. Kennedy: As I always say, forgive your enemies, but remember their names. Now gentlemen, as I like to think, in the long history of the world, that there are only a few generations...
Noises are heard in the background.
Richard Nixon: (looking frantic and ducking) Sounds like someone breaking in...
John F. Kennedy: Just the storm, Dick. Sit down.
Zombies appear at a window on the other side, making noises and trying to break through.
Richard Nixon: Oh my God!
Robert McNamera: It appears the Pentagon has been breached.
John F. Kennedy: Zombies. Gentlemen, at times like these our capacity to retaliate must be and has to be massive, to deter all forms of aggression.
Kennedy walks over to the wall behind him and hits a button, which makes the wall flip around to show an armory of weapons.
John F. Kennedy: Gentlemen, lock and load!
The screen turns black.
Fidel Castro: Viva la Revolucion.
Screen then shows the four of them coming out of the armory. McNamara with a Stakeout, Kennedy with a China Lake, Castro with a Bowie Knife and a Python and Nixon with two HS-10s.
Robert McNamera: Any last words, Mr. President?
Richard Nixon: Yes Jack, any superlative words of inspiration for your humble troops?
John F. Kennedy: Do not pray for easy lives, my friends. Pray to be stronger men.
The group cocks their guns as the screen fades into color, and then the intro ends.
- The map is missing from the Nintendo Wii version entirely. The opening cut scene of this map does play after beating the Wii campaign, however it simply redirects the player to the main menu after it is finished playing.
- The zombies will disappear into a ball of electricity if all the players take an elevator or the players go down before the power is turned on. The Zombies then respawn in the level that the players are in.
- The characters will tap their foot in impatience while waiting inside for the elevator to open again. This can be seen when playing co-op.
- The name "Five" refers to both the DEFCON levels and the sides of the Pentagon.
- If the player tries to enter the Panic Room before going through the DEFCON levels, the player will be denied access and the text: "115 Clearance Required" will appear at the bottom of the screen. Also, if the player tries to call the elevator during the Thief round, the text "Access Denied: Security Protocol 115" appears. These are references to Element 115.
- In the hallway, there are several pictures referencing Call of Duty: World at War, such as a plaque mentioning the Battle of Peleliu, and Sgt. Roebuck.
- The Wunderwaffe DG-2 was originally supposed to be in the map, as there are unused sound files of the characters' reactions to getting the Wunderwaffe from the Mystery Box, as heard here.
- Hellhounds were also set to appear, evidenced through cut quotes in the game files.
- If the player goes near a DEFCON switch while having the power on, the text will read "Press (X/F/Square) to lower death-con level".
- On the wall next to the MPL is a picture of Major John Plaster, who provided work for Call of Duty: Black Ops.
- There are three red telephones on this map: one at the start at the game, close to Quick Revive, one on a desk in the same room as the power switch, and the final phone is located in the Panic Room on a table next to a barrier. Once all telephones are activated, "Won't Back Down" by Eminem will start to play. These three telephones are also used to call the original characters in Ascension, as both maps are taking place at the same time.
- There is a television above each Mystery Box location which can be used to locate the Mystery Box.
- The portrait of Doctor Richtofen and the blank portrait from Kino der Toten appear in the Panic Room.
- There are news boards with news connected to the zombies.
- In the weapons room on the third floor, there is a Winter's Howl on a table with work tools surrounding it.
- It's possible to see the mainframe of an older teleporter, like the ones from Der Riese or Kino der Toten, through a zombie barrier in the basement, to the left of the AK-74u.
- On one of the podiums in the starting room, there sits a scrap of paper that reads "Ignomo Jubilus", which is roughly translated into "Laughable Mistake".
- On the metal detectors, the player can see III ARC and the Treyarch logo.
- In the Pack-a-Punch Room there is a book titled Exposed. What can't be seen without noclip is that on the back is a picture of what appears to be a zombified gorilla. The text next to the picture reads "man sent the first primate into space, and it returned...". This is a reference to the Cosmic Silverback from Dead Ops Arcade.
- The blue light emitting upwards from the Mystery Box can be seen if the player noclips out of the map.
- In the lab section of the basement, canisters of Nova 6 can be found.
- Using the "noclip" console command in the lab area reveals a Group 935 logo behind a cover in one of the Zombie spawns.
- When watching the TVs in the Zombies menu, one can note that the Quick Revive machine is located where the Speed Cola machine should be.
- Using "noclip" the player can find a rocket in one of the barrier rooms upstairs, as well as a TV playing images from "Operation 40".

There's nothing quite so helpful as a fatwa and threats of a Christian boycott to create buzz in advance of new movie.
"Noah," scheduled for its U.S. release on March 28, has become such a target. The United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Bahrain have banned the movie because it depicts a prophet.
Even here in the land of religious tolerance, the National Religious Broadcasters threatened to boycott the film unless Paramount issued a disclaimer that the movie isn't a literal interpretation of the Genesis story. It is good to have fundamentalist literalists explain exactly what the Bible's authors intended, especially since a literal interpretation would keep moviegoers away or put them to sleep.
To wit: In the literal tale, no one speaks until after a dove sent to find land returns with an olive twig in its beak, indicating the flood is over. In the movie version, people talk.
Alas, under pressure, Paramount altered its advertising to say the movie was "inspired" by the Bible story and is not The Bible story.
Note the use of the word "movie" in the preceding paragraphs. This is because "Noah" is ... a movie. It is not a sermon or a call to prayer. It cost $130 million to make and is intended to entertain, inspire and make money.
I recently viewed the film and can confidently report the following: If you liked "Braveheart," "Gladiator," "Star Wars," "The Lord of the Rings," "Indiana Jones" or "Titanic," you will like "Noah." If you liked two or more of the above, you will love "Noah." Your enjoyment increases exponentially with each movie checked above, though I should warn that "Titanic" made the cut for only one reason. "Noah" also includes the essential love story or two, without which no story floats.
"Noah," in other words, is a big movie. There's plenty of action and enough gore and guts to leave young children at home. It's a morality play/spiritual journey without being preachy, except occasionally by the protagonist. Noah the man can be a tad over the top at times, but this is an obvious plus when you're being instructed by the Creator to build an ark and fill it with snakes, among other creatures.
And, let's face it, Noah is ... Russell Crowe, from whom one wouldn't mind hearing: "Would you like to see my ark?" We've come a long way, baby, from Charlton Heston as Moses in Cecil B. DeMille's "The Ten Commandments." Add to the cast Anthony Hopkins playing Methuselah, Yoda-esque in his ancient wisdom; Jennifer Connelly, who plays Noah's wife; and Emma Watson as his adopted daughter. There are also Noah's three heart-stopping sons, whom we witness evolving from innocence to self-knowledge as they question their father's authority and try to resist Oedipal urges that surge to the surface with the terrifying brutality of a serpent's strike.
Poor Noah, alienated from a world consumed by evil, aspires to goodness and justice even as he questions his qualifications to the task.
The film is art, neither executed nor to be taken literally. And who are these experts who know precisely what the Bible's authors intended? Among other criticisms are the implications that evolution and creation might be mutually inclusive and that man and beast are equal in the eyes of the Creator. Noah and his family are vegetarian and demonstrate respect for the Earth's fragile balance.
Pure heresy.
To each his own interpretation, but at least one conclusion seems self-evident: The Bible's authors were far more literary than we. They clearly had a keen appreciation for parable and metaphor, as well as a profound understanding that truth is better revealed than instructed.
If the literalists prevail, we just might need another flood.

- Travel Tips
- Travel Budgeting + Currency
Looking for great deals, fewer crowds, and near-perfect weather? We give you a calendar of the ideal times to visit some of the world's top destinations.
Shoulder Season Travel Secrets
Early: Japan
Peak hotel rates have come down after last month's cherry blossom celebrations, and the humidity has yet to kick in.
Mid: Mediterranean Cruising
The weather's warming, but prices remain as much as 20 percent lower than in the summer high season.
Mid: Great Barrier Reef, Australia
Airfares from the States are at their lowest, and in Australia's north, days are full of sunshine. Through August
—Yolanda Crous
After the vacation crowds head home, you'll find the smart traveler basking in good deals and wide open spaces.
Quick: What's the best time of year to visit Thailand?If you're looking for great bargains, slim crowds, and good weather, that time is June—after rains have cooled off the sweltering heat but before the tourist masses arrive in July (and prices go up). June in Thailand is the tiny, mystical window known as shoulder season.
Shoulder season is the Mama Bear of travel times: tucked between the high prices of peak season and the lousy weather of the low season, shoulder season is juuuuust right for many travelers. Schedule your vacation right before or immediately after high season and the only differences you'll notice are lower costs, fewer crowds, and of course greater availability of hotel rooms and restaurant reservations.
You'll notice a warmer welcome, too, when you travel off-peak. Locals, who may grow weary of crowds in peak season, have time to relax in shoulder season. For instance, an afternoon in early May is an ideal time to linger at an outdoor café in Rome and people-watch, before the summer tourists descend.
Timing, of course, is everything. In March, for example, spring skiing in Whistler, British Columbia is still going full-throttle (with high prices to match). But hold off until April—when the powder's usually just as good—and you'll find that the crowds have melted. So not only will you get great first tracks without throwing elbows, you'll also pay $189 less per night for a standard room at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler than you would in early February.
If you're more of a warm-weather traveler, use hurricane season to your advantage. The Riviera Maya's hurricane season peaks from August to October, but it's long gone by mid-November. That's when sun-worshippers with an eye on value can hit the beach and clean up on bargains before the holiday crowds arrive. Even if you opt for opulence at the Ritz-Carlton Cancun, the same guestroom that runs $489 over Easter weekend costs only $269 in mid-November.
So how do you pick the ideal time?Consult a calendar, of course. We've mapped out the eight key shoulder-season months, outlining destinations from Dubai (October) to Montana (September). Heading to Hawaii?Craving Costa Rica?If you're a shoulder-season devotee, this is one calendar you don't want to miss.
No significant shoulder seasons fall within January, February, July, and August, but prices drop immediately after the holidays in January.

from UNH Video
Runners are increasingly ditching their shoes for the trendy and controversial practice of barefoot running. But will it make them faster? That's what UNH exercise science professor Tim Quinn, assisted by graduate student Corie Mae Callaluca and undergraduate Neil Baroody, is trying to learn. The researchers are putting competitive runners, shod and barefoot, through their paces to determine whether shedding shoes improves running economy, the amount of energy used at a given pace, and, ultimately, performance.

I just got back from a week in Zimbabwe.
I took these pictures last year, when I visited Victoria Falls for a few days.
Going on a safari is a shitty way to get to know a country.
But so is visiting its capital.
I've never met a country with such a suicidal set of national policies.
Zimbabwe has an acute liquidity shortage. There is not enough money to go around. The unemployment rate is 80 percent. Its per capita GDP is among the lowest in the world.
Yet instead of bending over backwards to attract investment, its politicians are stepping forward to repel it.
The country has a policy called 'indigenization'—All foreign companies must be 51% owned by Zimbabweans.
In other words, to invest here, you have to give away the majority of your company. You don't get to pick who you give it to or what they do with it. You are asked to simply simply fork it over, and trust what the government does with it.
Not to sound all Tea Party about it, but that's fucking insane.
The only companies willing to invest here are Chinese and Russian ones. And only under conditions of total secrecy. None of the investment contracts have been made public.
There was a scandal last month when it was revealed that some of the government officials who were cut in on these contracts were earning $500,000 a month.
I remember talking to a private equity guy last year just after my first trip here. I asked him if he would ever consider investing in Zimbabwe.
He told me he hasn't looked at the country in years. 'You can't even read the fucking Wikipedia entry without losing money' he said.
You can hardly blame him. The most important thing for investors is certainty. And that's in even shorter supply than currency here.
And yet somehow, people tell me that Zimbabwe is doing better now than it was last year.
I ask my Zimbabwean colleagues about this and they tell me it's because of the election.
'For the last four years we had a coalition government', they tell me. 'Mugabe's party and the opposition sharing power.'
'It was chaos. Each minister would tell you a different set of government priorities, depending on which party he was from. Right, left, legal, illegal, you never got a clear answer.'
'Since Mugabe won the last election, at least we know what to expect.'
'What, for everything to keep getting worse?' I ask. 'At least', they tell me, 'we can plan for that.'

Wonderful Zimbabwe 🙂
Yes, that pretty much sums it up.
Informative words, great photos. Well done!
Zimbabwe should take a clue from the west and just print more paper money. Or maybe not. It's going hit us sometime soon that it wasn't the greatest idea. Lovely pictures, wish I were there. How safe is it for westerners? Leslie
At first, "indigenization" seemed perfectly logical to me—prevent foreign (Western) companies from exploiting the country's wealth in a contemporary re-hash of colonialism. But now I see what you mean about it being insane, especially when it's coupled with gross corruption.
I like colors, landscapes, nature in general. Rainbows are very nice.
Promising photos, dismal story…somewhere inside that rainbow there might be hope.
beautiful pictures!

You have likely never heard of a RIOTORO power supply until now. Neither had we until a couple months ago. We have however known the RIOTORO PR guy for many years, and he felt comfortable enough to bring us this new Enigma PSU and allow us to put it through the HardOCP gauntlet.
Two is always better than one, right? Two fans in your new PSU is a win-win? That is the theory behind the Enermax Revolution Duo series of Power Supply Units. Enermax has a long history of producing PSUs ranging from good to excellent. Where will the new Duo fall in line today?
VIVO is likely not a brand name that you are familiar with when it comes to enthusiast-level computer power supplies. We were not familiar with the VIVO name assuredly and its single PSU offering. All the more reason to put it through our PSU testing gauntlet when VIVO asked us to. Will VIVO regret putting its value brand PSU to the test?
Redundant computer power supplies have been a fixture in the enterprise server market since failover hardware solutions were first conceived to deal with contingency planning and system disaster recovery. FSP has now brought its Twins solution to the enthusiast market, and FSP have done it quite well.
When it comes to computer power supplies and software, there simply are not a lot of entrants into this niche market. However along side of our FSP Twin 500W review today, we have FSP's entrant into the world of PSU monitoring and control software called Guardian. It will monitor and record your PSU's performance over a 30 day period.
Big things come in small packages they say, but today we are looking at small PSU in a small package. SilverStone has been on a tear lately catering to the Small Form Factor PC enthusiast, and they are looking to do it again with its SFX 300 watt tiny PSU. With a "power density" of 378 watts per liter!
Thermaltake over the years has built some extremely good computer power supply units and along with that, it has also charged a premium for those which sometimes put it at a severe disadvantage in the value department. That changes today, in a very good way. It has flashy spinny LEDs, which you can turn off easily. And a 10 year warranty.
In today's world of PC hardware, it is not exactly easy to build a system worthy of needing 1000 watts of power, but if you happen to be doing that, the SilverStone Strider Platinum series has a solid unit that likely fits your budget while ticking off all the high end check boxes, especially efficiency.
SilverStone is back today with one of its "smaller is better" computer power supplies that can be used in SFX form factor systems but also comes with a mounting bracket that makes it ATX friendly out of the box. This PSU is bringing quality and value, which is a great thing in the PSU world and not often seen from the big brand names.
It has been years since we have reviewed a computer power supply from In Win. You might remember the In Win name from being a prolific case supplier back in the early enthusiast days of the 1990's. How does In Win stack up in 2016 with its Classic series PSU that has a very sleek look to it and nice feature set?
Enermax comes to us today with a super-efficient 600 watt computer power supply that is dressed in black and has fully modular SLEEMAX cables that are very suitable for configuring a distinguished looking build. How does it do when put through our PSU gauntlet however?
Small form factor personal computers have gotten more and more popular over the last few years, and along with that we have been seeing more and more computer power supplies built with SFX specifications in mind. Thermaltake's Toughpower is one of those and packs along with it 600 watts of efficient power.

You are here: Lexicon › food/groceries › L�nderk�che › Australien › spices
Aborigines used plant parts to flavour foods cooked in earth ovens and to prepare drinks. Many plants that may be used as spices also had medicinal properties. Leafs or fruits were mostly used fresh. Today most bush spices are usually sold dried and ground or flaked.
Some of the better-known bushtucker spices are:
- Aniseed myrtle (Backhousia anisata)
- Cape barren tea (Correa alba)
- Australian mint bush (Prostanthera rotundifolia)
- Bush pepper (Tasmannia lanceolata, T. stipitata, T. xerophi)
- Eucalyptus
- Blue-Leaved Mallee (Eucalyptus polybractea)
- Lemon Ironbark (Eucalyptus staigeriana)
- Strawberry Gum (Eucalyptus olida)
- Peppermint Gum (Eucalyptus dives)
- Tasmanian Blue Gum (Eucalyptus globulus)
- Native basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum)
- Running postman (Kennedia prostrata)
- Leptospermum
- River mint (Mentha australis)
- Paperbark tea tree (Melaleuca quinquenervia)
- Saltbush (Atriplex cinerea)
- Sea Parsley (Apium prostratum)
- Sweet Sarsaparilla (Smilax glyciphylla)
- Wattleseed (Acacia)
- Cinnamon myrtle (Backhousia myrtifolia)
- Lemon myrtle (Backhousia citriodora)
Many Australian fruits have strong, tart aromas and are also often used as spices. Examples are riberry and lemon aspen. Another popular bushtucker spice is dried, ground bush tomato, better known as kudjera or akatjurra.

Also recycled some empty toilet roll inners, scraps of paper and magazine images to make some gift tags. The toilet rolls make a pocket and the tags fit inside the pocket.
Also made some Christmas decorations using puzzle pieces that I had lying around. Then using old envelopes I made a little booklet to put them in when they were not on the tree.
Another recycled item is this recycled cigarette box and tag booklet made from scraps.
Recycling can be so much fun and there is so much that can be reused.

I have had a few days to sort through my emotions and have come up with a few thoughts in the aftermath of Sandy Hook:
In regard to gun availability, the "toothpaste is out of the tube" already. Just like abortion, we aren't going back, no matter how many people think otherwise.
Having said that, do I think an ordinary citizen should be able to buy a weapon in which the ONLY use for that weapon is for killing a multitude of their fellow humans at once (even in the name of self defense)?
No, I do not.
Granted, I am ignorant in regard to the specific characteristics of these weapons, but I do know that you probably don't need to fire 45 rounds of armor piercing ammunition per minute into an animal that you are trying to hunt for food or game. These weapons were designed to kill other humans.
I get it, in war, that's what needs to happen; however, I believe that they have no place in a (relatively) peaceful society.
Next, I consider myself a man of math and science. Numbers make sense to me.
What I'm having a tough time understanding is this: if we are trying to reduce the amount of something, I don't get how we get to that solution by ADDING more of one variable to one side of that equation. Yes, I am aware that this is without taking human behavior into consideration (which is obviously a very large and essentially unmeasurable variable).
Pardon me, but I'm not sure I want Mrs. Randall, the Home Ec. teacher, who has never fired a gun at a living thing before, to be packing heat because her husband thinks that will help "protect her". Again, I'm just speculating here, but I'm really unsure how composed the common citizen would be in the event an armored lunatic is coming at them spraying bullets from a semi-automatic weapon. Likely outcome: she gets mowed down and the madman has an additional weapon.
Lastly, the real issue here is how we, as a country, handle mental health problems (THE BIGGEST problem here) which are often exacerbated by events outside of the control of those involved. Anecdotal accounts are suggesting that this kids life went from 'troubled' to 'really fucking bad' once his parents got a divorce.
Begin rant:
So many parents are selfish fucking assholes and get married/have kids without weighing the consequences of bringing new souls into this world. Thankfully, I am not a child of a broken home, but my wife is, and it horribly damaged her childhood.
Here's where I get nuts: parents need to stop being so fucking selfish and think about how their fucking horseshit "irreconcilable differences" are going to affect the people who care about them the most: namely, their fucking kids. If someone is abusive or a horrible influence on their children, obviously that is a different story…but just wanting to stick your dick in other women (or vice versa) or "not getting along" is a really fucking shitty deal for those who you are leaving behind.
SUCK IT UP, AND BE A FUCKING MAN. Take care of and BE THERE FOR your kids. No matter how damaged they are, you leaving is only going to make things worse.
One final thing, I had a twinge of agony the other night when my main man MAXIMUS posted a picture on Twitter of his local PICU. You and your family are in my thoughts (I don't pray, so it would be disingenuous for me to say that). With me having 2 little ones, I get kind of loony when they merely have a fever (I know, pace myself), I cannot conceive what it would be like for my children to really be sick. Stay strong, I really hope everything gets better for you guys soon.
My best to you all.

+1 on the rant. Good to see you put the slide rule down long enough to post again.
By the way, I love that Greg Maddux/Harvey Dorfman article you posted in Fly's blog. Performance psychology is a big interest of mine (even if it is "a load of shit").

You forget that the reason for "the right to bear arms" under the constitution is not for hunting…it is for protection from foreign and domestic threats. We had just thrown off the Brits and were worried about an equally oppressive fed government. Learn your history.
No shit, but thanks for the history lesson anyway.
I guess all of those ICBM's we have stashed in North Dakota are just backup in case the "right to bear arms" fails?
What about an affluent overly protective mother who is into guns and uses them to bond with her autistic child? Not to blame autism or a hobby in guns, but this combination seems to have been lethal. Her guns should have had trigger locks or been locked in a gun safe, but this is all hindsight. Blaming the Dad, or the Mom, or guns or autism or video games or any one thing misses the whole picture.
I don't think that I'm "blaming" anyone or anything.
This guy was eventually going to hurt someone regardless of the means…he just happened to have easy access to a small cache of high-powered weapons, which made his task all that much easier. My rant was geared toward selfish parents who often choose self-gratification or "the easy way out" over accepting their job and fulfilling their duty as parents.
I like guns, but there are no reasons Private ownership should include "Cop-killer" ammo or clips holding anymore than 5 to 6 rounds.
3 shells in a shotgun works fineThe British are not coming
This is what I'm getting at.
When the second amendment was written armies would line up and march at one another in offensive formations. It made sense for people to be able to arm and defend themselves (and their neighbors).
They tried to use that strategy in WWI which resulted in the Battle of Tannenberg or Masurian Lakes where over 100,000 soldiers died in each (think about that for a minute).
The high-powered/capacity guns were specifically designed to kill a lot of people at once from a defensive position in a military operation…not for use in shooting coffee cans off of the fence at one's country retreat while in preparation of the redcoats or injuns attacking.
Kudos on the post, well written and sincere.
Couple of points to offer some of my perspective.
As for the 'armor-piercing rounds and high-capacity' weapons – I agree, there's no need in those, however I believe those are already illegal, so that isn't really an issue here. Also it's rather hard to draw a line when it comes to weapons. What's 'more harmful' and should be banned vs not? It's an easy decision when it comes to fully automatic weapons (civilians don't need them, although just a few decades ago just about anyone could get them (and pretty cheap) and mass murders using those were not as widespread, so perhaps the problem isn't necessarily guns). Anyone who's half way decent with guns can inflict just as much damage with a shotgun (especially in close quarters) or a revolver or 2 with some speed loaders. Especially in cases like the school in Newton, where obviously no one is shooting back. So there are a lot of grey areas here.
Secondly to your point of 'sticking together and setting aside 'fucking horseshit "irreconcilable differences"…. In an ideal world that would obviously be the case, but shit happens, people grow apart, cheat, fight, whatever the case. I grew up with some guys whose parents stayed together 'for the kids' and ended up making themselves AND the kids fucking miserable and emotional wrecks. Yes, parents should do what's best for the kids, but sometimes that actually means splitting up.
I agree. I guess my anger was directed toward a father leaving his sick child. Sure people grow apart, but I believe in some situations, people need to suck it up and sacrifice for the good of humanity. You have to find a way to make it work over basically abandoning a kid who absolutely needs a father.
As far as guns are concerned, I think there needs to be a distinction between a weapon used for military defense and for self defense.
