Bon Secours Community Hospital to Participate in National Healthcare Decisions Day April 16
Bon Secours Community Hospital to Participate in National Healthcare Decisions Day April 16
Information Sessions to Explain Importance of Advance Directives
Port Jervis, NY (March 28) Your decisions matter.
On Tuesday, April 16, Bon Secours Community Hospital in Port Jervis, NY will join with health care facilities, health care professionals, chaplains, the legal community, and others throughout the nation to participate in a collective effort to highlight the importance of making advance healthcare decisions and to provide tools for making these decisions.
The public is invited to Information sessions at the hospital, which will be held that day from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. and from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the first floor cafeteria atrium. Patients and their families will have an opportunity to correct misunderstandings about advance healthcare planning and advance directives, ask questions and, if they wish, complete their own advance directives.
Ultimately, National Healthcare Decisions Day strives to provide much-needed information to the public, reduce the number of tragedies that occur when a patient's wishes are unknown, and improve the ability of healthcare facilities and providers to offer informed and thoughtful guidance about advance healthcare planning to their patients.
As a result of National Healthcare Decisions Day, many more people in our community can be expected to have thoughtful conversations about their healthcare decisions and complete reliable advance directives to make their wishes known," said Barbara Dwyer-Anderson, director of Social Work Services at Bon Secours Community Hospital. "Fewer families and healthcare providers will have to struggle with making difficult healthcare decisions in the absence of guidance from the patient. And healthcare providers and facilities will be better equipped to address advance healthcare planning issues before a crisis and be better able to honor patient wishes when the time comes to do so."
Bon Secours Community Hospital, a member of the Bon Secours Charity Health System, is located at 160 East Main Street in Port Jervis, NY. For additional information call (845) 858–7000 or visit: www.bonsecourscommunityhosp.org

Kill two pigs with one stone by making bacon fat candles. AdvertisementSquidoo user GetFreeRecipes posted that not only are bacon fat candles easy to make, but you can also pour the hot bacon fat candle drippings over any foods that need a bacon flavor injection.To make the candle all you need to do is pour bacon fat in a small glass container; anything from a shot glass to a large beverage glass is fine depending on how much bacon fat you have on hand. After the fat comes to room temperature put it in your fridge for several hours then add a wick by drilling a hole in the solidified fat and inserting a wick. Make sure you're using a wick made from natural materials if you want to drizzle the hot bacon fat on food. Photo by EatLiverAdvertisementEdible Bacon Fat Candle | Squidoo

Everything parents need to know about raising happy, healthy little ones. more
It seems there's always a new health buzzword being promoted as the latest, greatest, must-have thing. Some are obscure, some hard to find, and some just plain odd. So we've compiled the 10 health buzzwords that you really need to know - and why you need them (or don't!)
These naturally-occurring compounds in foods actually neutralise free radicals, which are unstable molecules produced by oxidation in the human body. While the body can cope with a certain amount of free radicals, too many have been linked to a range of diseases such as heart disease, liver disease and some cancers.
Good sources of antioxidants include:
Other rich sources of antioxidants include: wholegrains, nuts, milk, vegetable oils and egg yolks. The best source of antioxidants is a diet rich in whole, natural foods.
The craze for low-fat foods reached a low when items such as jelly lollies and even bottled water were labelled "Fat-Free". Sadly, foods labelled fat-free are usually a poor nutritional choice when you look at the label to see what's replacing the natural fat that's been removed. Often high-fructose corn syrup or synthesised fat substitutes are used to recreate the texture of fat - bumping up the kilojoule count of the food.
The exception is most dairy products, such as milk, where the fat is simply removed. It's important to remember that healthy fats are important in a diet. Lean meats, olive oil, avocado and coconut oils offer healthy sources of dietary fat.
The GI level of food is the Glycaemic Index - a ranking of carbohydrate foods from 1 - 100 which relates to how they raise blood sugar levels after eating. High GI foods are digested rapidly and result in large fluctuations of blood sugar levels, whereas low GI foods are digested more slowly - increasing satisfaction for longer.
Lower GI diets are recommended for optimal health. A low GI diet can result in less risk of diseases such as Type 2 Diabetes and coronary heart disease. To assess a food, look for the GI symbol on foods, or visit the Glycaemic Index website.
While iodine isn't a trendy health buzzword, it should be. Iodine is essential for hormone development, and can be lacking in many modern diets. Iodine is found in seafood, kelp, eggs, bread, dairy products and iodised salt.
Iodine plays an important role in regulating thyroid function and is the leading cause of preventable intellectual disability in children. Australian bread is now iodine fortified in an attempt to help address what was identified as an iodine deficiency across most of the Australian population.
This ancient grain is on everyone's lips for two reasons; it's gluten-free and it's high in protein, with a good balance of eight essential amino acid. While it's on everyone's lips, we're not quite sure how to pronounce it (for the record, it's pronounced keen - wah).
You can buy white, red or black quinoa - and you cook it in much the same way that you cook rice. Served cold as a salad, or warm with roasted veggies, quinoa may well be the perfect side dish for any meal.
These naturally-occurring organisms, such as bacteria or yeast, are touted as promoting intestinal health. Our body naturally contains friendly bacteria, but the balance can become disturbed either during illness, or when taking antibiotics.
Usually found in yoghurts or dairy drinks, probiotics can help reintroduce beneficial bacteria into the body. While there's still yet to be substantive research on the health benefits of probiotics, it appears that probiotics can be useful in reducing the severity of diarrhoea and may confer other health benefits as well.
It seems like every other week there's a new "Superfood", each one more obscure than the next. Acai Berries, cacao nibs - what's next? But while this phrase is too readily bandied about, there are some foods which are considered superfoods as they are packed with more nutrients than others. Click here to find out more.
We used to hear about saturated fats, unsaturated fats and monounsaturated fats, until a new fat came into our vocabulary - trans fats. According to the Heart Foundation trans fats are unsaturated fats which behave like a saturated fat because of the chemical structure.
These bad fats are identified as "hydrogenated oils" or "partially hydrogenated vegetable oils" on packaging and are commonly found in store-bought pastries, biscuits, pies and cakes or in deep-fried foods.
A wholegrain is literally that - it contains all the essential parts and the naturally occurring nutrient elements of the entire grain or seed. Processed or refined grains typically discard the bran and the endosperm, using only the germ. A wholegrain is the most nutritionally beneficial way to eat grains - as it contains more fibre, B vitamins, protein, carbohydrates, minerals and phytonutrients.
Wholegrains include:
This is one mineral which needs to be an essential part of your diet. Zinc plays a strong role in building a healthy immune system, as well as contributing to good eyesight, great skin, hair health and lessening the signs of PMS. Zinc is also essential for men's fertility, boosting testosterone production.
You can find zinc in most meats: beef, lamb, pork and salmon are good sources, as is the dark meat in chicken and turkey. Zinc is also present in nuts and seeds, fortified cereals and, the strongest source of all - shellfish.

- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
RATIONALE: Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Antiandrogen drugs, such as abiraterone acetate, may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body. It may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well abiraterone acetate works in treating patients with prostate cancer who have undergone initial hormone therapy.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Prostate Cancer |
Drug: abiraterone acetate Drug: degarelix Drug: leuprolide acetate Procedure: orchiectomy |
Phase 2 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | Abiraterone Acetate Treatment for Prostate Cancer Patients With a PSA of More Than Four Following Initial Androgen Deprivation Therapy Phase II |
- Rates of undetectable PSA [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
- Overall survival and objective progression-free survival [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
- Toxicity of abiraterone acetate [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
Estimated Enrollment: | 38 |
Study Start Date: | September 2011 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | October 2018 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date: | October 2018 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Experimental: Abiraterone acetate + prednisone
Abiraterone, 1,000 mg, oral (on an empty stomach at least 2 hours after or 1 hour before eating); to be taken daily Prednisone, 5 mg, oral, 5 mg twice daily |
Drug: abiraterone acetate Drug: degarelix Drug: leuprolide acetate Procedure: orchiectomy |
Detailed Description:
- To assess the rate of achieving a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) of ≤ 0.2 ng/mL with abiraterone acetate therapy in men with metastatic prostate cancer with a sub-optimal response to androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT).
- To assess the overall survival and objective progression-free survival of this group of patients.
- To assess PSA partial response.
- To evaluate the qualitative and quantitative toxicity of abiraterone acetate.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Patients receive abiraterone acetate orally daily on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients receive androgen blockade with GNRH agonist (goserelin acetate or leuprolide acetate) or a GNRH antagonist (degarelix) per the treating physician and this will be given continuously until evidence of disease progression. Bilateral surgical orchiectomy is also acceptable.
After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months for up to 3 years.

Go ahead and add Zooey Deschanel to the list of celebrity women who are willing to awesomely call out Hollywood double standards. She already made our list of celebrity women who aren't afraid to use the word "feminist," so this might not be that surprising. But that doesn't make it any less refreshing. Or any less likely for me to use the phrase "You go, girl." Which I just did. I hope you enjoyed it.
In the new August issue of InStyle magazine, Zooey addresses those pesky questions about if/when she's going to have a baby. She recalls, "When I was married, that was the first thing people wanted to know." Zooey and her ex-husband Ben Gibbard divorced in 2012, but that doesn't mean people have let up on the "WHERE IS YOUR BABY? WHY HAVEN'T YOU DONE YOUR WOMANLY DUTY AND PROCREATED?" questions, something Zooey has had enough of:
"Like every woman is dying to give birth! I don't think so. Nobody asks a guy that. And you go into a supermarket and every tabloid is like, 'Pregnant and Alone!' Stuck in this 1950s ideal of how a woman should live her life. That's not something that defines me at all."
Yep, that about sums it up. First of all, not all women want to have children, which is an acceptable decision that they shouldn't have to explain or defend as if they're on trial. And we shouldn't devote segments on morning talk shows to debating whether it's okay for them to decide that for themselves. Of course it is.
Even if women haven't ruled out the option completely, that doesn't mean they can predict when it'll happen, and they certainly shouldn't be expected to explain why it hasn't happened. It's also true that men — particularly celebrity men, in this case — don't get asked about their plans for children nearly as often as women do. Also, bonus points to Zooey for nailing the "Pregnant and Alone" headline that accompanies every photo of Jennifer Aniston in existence.
Side note: Can't you totally imagine exactly how Zooey uttered the words "I don't think so" in that interview? It's music to my mental ears.

I know about extending button classes etc, to have their own

I'm guessing that the FaceBook application uses BIS-B (Public MDS) for connectivity.
I did hear from Mr. Kirkup (at Devcon) that BIS-B is going to be made more "public" in the near future, so there is still hope for non-alliance folks. I haven't heard anything since.
Failing that, you need to join up (if you haven't already).
I think that something like 95% of your connectivity support issues go away with BIS-B, so it is worth the effort.
It is starting to sound like someone managed to turn a technical problem into a political one.
If your cable company had a legal right of way to run a cable and install repeater boxes on your
living room wall, and then charge you for internet access, wouldn't you be a bit annoyed if then
you also needed to pay the cable box maker in a separate arragnement just so you get reliable
network access? LOL.
Why do you also need to form an alliance with a device maker to use the data plan you pay for?
I'm not sure if the carrier apps work well or not, but doesn't this seem like a bad use
of public frequency spectrum and whatever land is used for cell towers?
Not to mention the fact they aren't up front about the "problem" and therefore waste a lot
of our time?
Maybe, but I wouldn't be annoyed with the cable box maker. He's just trying to smooth over the wrinkles left by the cable companies.

Hayden The Hayden boys basketball team was looking to end a seven-game losing streak against a cross-county rival, looking for its first league win of the season.
Hayden was able to snap the long losing streak Friday night and handed Soroco its tenth league loss of the season.
The Tigers defeated the visiting Rams 66-40.
The Tigers came out hot against the Rams. Led by seniors Matt Walden and Kevin Harris the Tigers built a 21-6 lead after one period of play.
Harris led the Tigers in the first quarter by scoring 11 points. He made all four shots he took in the period, three 3-pointers and a layup.
"We played awesome," Walden said. "We came out intense. Soroco is always one of the most important games of the year. It was the last game for the seniors and we came out pumped."
The Tigers led at halftime 30-17 and continued to extend the lead in the third quarter. The Tigers led 46-31 going into the final period.
In the fourth quarter, Hayden head coach Matt Ray kept rotating his six seniors into the game although the contest was out of reach.
"I wanted to have the seniors on the floor in the fourth quarter," Ray said. "It was their last game in this building ever."
The Tigers were led in scoring by Walden, who had 20 points, and Harris, who finished with 14.
The Rams' leading scorers were freshman Jack Means, who had 12 points, and senior Brandon Himmerite, who had 10.
With the win, the Tigers improved to 4-12 on the season and 2-8 in league play. The Tigers' two wins in the league came at the expense of the Rams.
With the loss the Rams are now 1-14 on the season. The Rams will end the regular season on the road against South Park today.
Both teams will play next Saturday on the road in first-round district play.

On modelling convergence clubs
A switching regression approach with imperfect sample separation information is used to determine convergence clubs. Regime classification allows one to determine which countries belong to the related convergence clubs. Initial per capita GDP does not provide a perfect sample separation information, but the regimes classification obtained from an endogenous switching model provides unusual results.

Posted November 29, 2013 · Report post It has been about a month since I've started using Epiduo and i don't see any dramatic results like i'd want to. I understand that things like this take time and you just have to wait for it but how am i suppose to know if Epiduo will start to really kick in within the next month/months or not? I feel like when i have the epiduo on, my acne simmers down and it feels like it's working and actually feels great but then when i take it off in the morning new pimples begin to form and it's just a huge cycle. I don't know if this is just the initial breakout or not but how long could the IB last for? I'm having faith in Epiduo and will continue to go along with it however if i don't start seeing results in moth 3, i think i might have to drop it.. My face is terrible! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2013 · Report post Moved to the prescription medicine section. After remaining clear for around 1.5 years following DKR (The Regimen), in March 2013 I decided to change to Epiduo. I use a pea size amount of epiduo each night, followed by a layer of topical antibiotic (Eryacne). I also apply Eryacne every morning and moisturise twice a day. After switching to Epiduo from the regimen I found that it took a good 3 months to get back to being perfectly clear again and now I might get one small pimple appear per month. I can live with that I started following Dan's Regimen in September 2011 after suffering with acne for 20 years or so. I followed the Regimen instructions exactly and became 100% clear within 9-11 weeks. In December 2011 and after being consistently clear for over a month, I started to slowly reduce the amount of BP I used until I was only applying BP at night. My skin still remained clear however I sometimes switched to applying BP twice a day for a few days (perhaps once a month) if I felt a few under skin bumps starting to come up. I used acne.org products (including AHA and jojoba oil) and sometimes cetaphil moisturiser at night if I felt my skin was especially dry. In the gallery I show my week by week progress following the regimen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the swift reply, its just because quite some time ago I heard you need like a few hundred to build a ROM and more if you want to build from several sources. Thanks again.

Morsi backtracks on sacking Egypt's top prosecutor
Latest update : 2012-10-13
Egypt's President Mohammed Morsi agreed Saturday to allow the country's top prosecutor, Abdel-Meguid Mahmoud, to remain in his post after asking him to step down earlier this week, sparking criticism that Morsi was interfering with the judiciary.
Egypt's top prosecutor reached an agreement with the country's president to keep his job on Saturday despite earlier attempts to remove him, ending a standoff that had prompted accusations of interference in judicial affairs.
President Mohammed Morsi had ordered Prosecutor General Abdel-Meguid Mahmoud to step down last Thursday in an apparent bid to appease public anger over the acquittals of ex-regime officials accused of orchestrating violence against protesters last year.
Morsi had broad public support for removing Mahmoud, who was appointed under ousted president Hosni Mubarak. But the move created a backlash from angry judges, who saw the decision as infringement on the judiciary.
Egyptian law protects the prosecutor general from being fired by the president. To overcome that constraint, Morsi had asked Mahmoud to become ambassador to the Vatican. But Mahmoud refused to be reappointed.
Vice President Mahmoud Mekki told reporters after meeting the prosecutor that the president agreed to suspend the decision following a request from the country's Supreme Judicial Council.
After meeting Morsi and his advisers, Mahmoud told The Associated Press that "a misunderstanding" had been resolved.
Earlier Saturday, Mahmoud defied the order by entering his office in a downtown Cairo courthouse flanked by security and hundreds of judicial officials who came in his support.
Mekki said the procedures to reappoint Mahmoud have been stopped after the appeal by the Council. He said the decision was initially to avoid popular anger following the Wednesday acquittal of Mubarak loyalists over their alleged role in a turning point of the 2011 uprising, known as the "Battle of the Camel," when camels ridden Mubarak supporters charged into an opposition crowd.
Mekki dismissed accusations that Morsi was interfering in the judiciary. The move, he said, was to "protect the post" against criticism. In defense of the decision, Mekki said the presidency had announced the decision after initially understanding that Mahmoud had agreed to step down.
"There was confusion. The acceptance was not complete, was not clear," Mekki told reporters.
Mahmoud returned to his office after the meeting with Morsi. At a press conference later, hundreds of judges came out to congratulate him for retaining the job. Mahmoud said he had been threatened, a charge the presidency denies.
An independent daily's online headline read: "The judges win in the battle of the prosecutor general."

How do Coloradans hate Texans? One man—born in Colorado, now living in Texas—counts the ways.
Winter and summer, we Texans haul our money up to Colorado and spend it. We splurge on lift tickets and hunting licenses and condos. We leave big tips. Only California sends more tourists your way.
And how do Coloradans thank us? With those little decals showing a silhouette of Texas crossed by a red bar. With bumper stickers that read, "Texans go home." If Texans did go home, says former Colorado Governor Richard Lamm, "it would raise the IQ of both states."
Almost every state has issues with another state. Oregon and Washington are sick of interlopers from California. New York and New Jersey have squabbled for years over pollution, garbage, and possession of Ellis Island. At this moment Alabama, Florida, and Georgia are fighting over water.
But this Colorado-Texas thing is not just another interstate dustup, and I think I'm in a position to explain. I vote in Texas, and I carry a Texas driver's license. But I was born in Colorado and grew up there. Texas is just where I happen to live. Colorado is home. I like to say I hold dual citizenship.
My dad was born in Fort Worth in 1912 and moved to Denver eight years later. He never cared much for Texas or Texans, and his distaste was a source of constant needling between him and his Galveston-born mother, my grandmother. Gram viewed her years in Colorado as bitter exile. Nothing in Colorado was ever as good as in Texas. The people weren't as friendly. Even her Texas chicken-fried steak didn't taste the same at altitude. Texas was always better, bigger. No it wasn't, Dad told her: If you ironed out the mountains, Colorado would be bigger than Texas. No it wouldn't, Gram said.
The problem with Texans, Dad told me, is that they buy up the best fishing and hunting spots, places he had used freely for years. And they hang up No Fishing, No Hunting, No Trespassing signs.
Dad, of course, wasn't the only Coloradan who had a beef with Texas. When I was growing up, I would listen on Friday nights as his poker buddies groused about Texans. One of them, the state fishing commissioner, loved to stick it to Texans when they were caught fishing over the limit, or bagging deer out of season or from the side of the road, which, I gathered, they did—and maybe still do—all the time.
Pretty soon, as a mere adolescent, even I hated Texans.
Now, decades later, I live in Dallas. Since we moved, we visit Colorado as often as possible. I don't see as many "Texans go home" bumper stickers as I used to in the 1950s, but sometimes when I sign in at a motel the clerk will pause and look up. "Oh, Texas." And—is this just my imagination?—natives seem to glance at our license plates. We Texas drivers apparently have a reputation, just as they did when I was growing up in Colorado.
I am not the only Texan that senses this scrutiny. Richard Carnes, a transplanted Texan who writes a column for the Daily News in Vail tells me about a gentleman from Texas who complained in a letter to the editor. The man was in Vail scouting property for a summer home. He stopped off in a coffee house to sip a latte and found himself sitting next to a table of locals. "A Texan just moved in next door," one of them said.
Well, there goes the neighborhood.
The man from Texas sat there, nursing his latte in silence, while the Coloradans poured out their grievances: Texans drive too fast. They're noisy. They brag. They travel in packs, despoiling the land like grasshoppers or grackles. They're déclassé.
A few years after Carnes moved to Vail, writer and filmmaker Mark Snow moved his family from Fort Worth to Woodland Park. Shortly after the move, he went to get his Colorado driver's license. During the written test and the eye test and all the other tests, the DMV guy kept ribbing him about Texas.
"Well, it sure is hot down there," the guy said. "You sure got a lot of mosquitoes," he added for good measure. Finally, the man handed Snow his new Colorado driver's license. "Welcome," the DMV clerk said, "to the United States of America."
It was insulting, but there was more than a grain of truth in it. When the Republic of Texas was formed in 1836, it claimed a swath of Colorado. Naturally, it was the most scenic swath, perfect for future skiing and summer condos. In 1845, when Texas became a state, it gave up its claims.
Texas' territorial ambitions flared up briefly during the Civil War, when Brigadier General Henry H. Sibley marched a couple hundred Texans up the Rio Grande with the intention of capturing Colorado's gold mines for the Confederacy. Volunteer forces from Colorado rushed to New Mexico and turned the Texans back at the Battle of Glorieta, known as the "Gettysburg of the West." Coloradans still speak of this engagement with considerable satisfaction.
It dims that satisfaction somewhat that the commander of the Colorado volunteers was Colonel John M. Chivington, the infamous perpetrator of the Sand Creek Massacre, in which a band of peaceful Arapaho and Southern Cheyenne Indians was murdered. Still, says Denver historian Tom Noel, "No matter how you feel about him, remember this: Chivington was the last person to stop Texans from invading Colorado."
But we Texans keep on coming. Every now and then there's an oil boom or a natural gas boom or some other kind of boom in Texas. When that happens, we all head to Colorado to ski and to buy up land. "You couldn't kick them out because they owned the place," says Huntley Paton, former publisher of the Dallas Business Journal, who grew up in Denver.
Skiers in the Wolf Creek area certainly would love to kick out Texas gazillionaire B.J. "Red" McCombs. But McCombs owns 287.5 acres at Alberta Park, and controls access to trails on which locals have skied for decades. In 2006, McCombs shut down access after a falling-out with his partners, who own the local ski area.
Some South Park residents are ready to give the boot to Texas businessman Jeff Hawn. In May, when his neighbor's buffalo roamed a little too freely, pooping on Hawn's pasture and wrecking the dish antenna at his luxury home, Hawn declared open season. Hunters shot 32 of the animals, violating ancient custom and Colorado range law, which extends protection to wandering livestock.
Our sins, clearly, are myriad. As you should, you continue to mock us. Deep inside, we Texans love it. We love to be singled out; we regard ourselves as a singular people. Yes, we're loud and vulgar and rich (though not nearly as loud and vulgar and rich as we used to be), and we like to think we stand out in a crowd.
But when I come back to Colorado, as soon as I crest Raton Pass, though I don't switch license plates I instantly switch identities. Once again I am a native Coloradan. I am home. And then I, too, can experience the distinct pleasure of hating Texans.

Sir: I enjoy each and every Shooting Gallery episode, but especially liked the rimfire show that aired 12/28/11 here in Oregon. I am enjoying a return to rimfire shooting (like many others) due to dwindling retirement income, and forgot how much fun it can be!! Your show had lots of interesting and informative content regarding the after market manufacturers as well as the competition segments. Thanks very much and may 2012 bring you happy and safe shooting.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Opinshall Early OriginsThe surname Opinshall was first found in Lancashire where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the year 1559 when John Opensha (sometimes Openshawe) was recorded in the Manor and estates. The early records of this name have been lost but it may be presumed that it was originally Opershall which is pronounced the same and is synonymous. Today, Openshaw is a ward of the city of Manchester, in Greater Manchester.

They've got muck; we've got rakes. TPM Muckraker
How 30 Million DVDs Sent In 2008 Election Fuel The Anti-Mosque Debate Today
"The single most powerful piece of media over the past five years that has been effective in persuading average Americans to the Islamist threat has been 'Obsession,'" Tom Trento, the director of the Florida Security Council, told TPMmuckraker today. Trento said he participated in the multimillion-dollar distribution of the film by giving out tens of thousands of copies at both parties' 2008 conventions.
"Obsession" -- the abridged version of which you can watch here -- aims to scare, with graphic footage of terrorist attacks and large rallies where clerics scream in Arabic, "Death to America!" Commentators, including the daughter of a jihadist and Jerusalem Post writer Caroline Glick, say things like, "Jihad has come to America" and describe terrorist attacks as "multiple fronts in a global Jihad."
The filmmakers are careful to distinguish the threat as from "radical Islam," not Muslims overall. Clarion and the people involved in its projects, including a Muslim physician who narrated Clarion's latest movie, believe that 80 to 90 percent of the mosques in America fall into this dangerous category.
That movie, the "Third Jihad," describes the threat of this radical Islam to American culture. Specifically. Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser told TPMmuckraker, this vast majority of clerics in the U.S. pose a serious threat to the Constitution by preaching in favor of sharia law.
"The movie has been extremely effective in waking people up," said Trento, whose organization aims to educate Floridians of the threat of radical Islam. He spoke last Sunday at an anti-mosque rally in Lower Manhattan. "The intent of the movie was to activate people."
The Clarion Fund opposes the community center near Ground Zero, but is taking a more passive role in the debate. Most of its limited resources, according to a spokesman, are focusing on wrapping up a new film on the Iranian nuclear threat, called "Iranium."
Clarion is still promoting a movie it released last year about radical Islam's threat to American culture, called "The Third Jihad." Alex Traiman, the spokesman, told TPMmuckraker that he believes "Third Jihad" contributed to the current protests.
"We haven't taken a [vocal] stand on the Ground Zero mosque, but the American public has," Traiman said. "I think part of that is the impression that 'Third Jihad' has had. ... We try to present the tools for educating Americans to spur grassroots action, and we feel really gratified right now."
He said the debate over the Cordoba House project has been the wake up call Clarion has been waiting for.
"We had always expected that there would be some event that would galvanize the public and we were waiting for it," he said. "It really took this mosque. This story is really getting Americans to wake up and say, 'Wait a second.'"
"The people that see the film are wanting to do something," he said.
Traiman sounded rueful that the timing of "Iranium" is taking away from their ability to work against the Cordoba House. "We were waiting so long for an event, and it comes right now when we're in final production for a new film."

Marshall Davis Jr. talks about dancing with Savion Glover
Tap dancer Marshall Davis Jr. talks about dancing for Savion Glover at the Joyce Theater
Fri Jun 7 2013
Time Out New York: What is it like working with Savion Glover?
Marshall Davis Jr.: It's fun. In rehearsals, we come to different realizations. All these different emotions are going on because, of course, we start to think about our teachers, our mentors. All of this stuff comes into play. Even though they're gone, we're still learning from them. They left us a tremendous amount of information that we're still in the process of learning from—before we can even begin to think about trying to separate ourselves from it to do something different. What you do with it determines how you are as a person. We're not imitating, but giving honor to it and presenting it in a way that shows what the possibilities are, and that's what allows us to be unique.
Time Out New York: Do you think you have to be inside the tap world to understand the complexity of what you're doing?
Marshall Davis Jr.: No! I've found through our travels that the people who really understand it aren't the tap dancers or connected to show business. I think they're more open to just receiving it, as opposed to feeling that you have an understanding about it already. They're just like, "What is it?" They're not looking at it from the point of, "I know what this is" or "I know what this should be."
Time Out New York: Are you quoting from specific dancers?
Marshall Davis Jr.: We do, but it's in a way of us giving our respects. It may not be a specific quote, but based on something they've already said.
Time Out New York: Who is in the back of your mind?
Marshall Davis Jr.: Always Steve. Dianne Walker, Baby Laurence, Chuck Green, Jimmy Slyde. Gregory Hines, of course. Buster, LaVaughn, Lon Chaney—we keep them in our minds in whatever we do.
Time Out New York: How much dance material is set in this one?
Marshall Davis Jr.: There is more choreography. But inside of that, there's always room to improvise as well. I think it's a nice balance. We definitely collaborate; [Glover] allows me to be part of the process, but the majority of the choreography, he does.
Time Out New York: I want to know more about this show. Is it crazy? I like it when the relationship between music and dance is more pure.
Marshall Davis Jr.: I think it's going to be something that everyone can enjoy.
Time Out New York: What does that mean?
Marshall Davis Jr.: You have to see it. Once you come and see it, you're going to be, Oh, okay, I get it. I don't want to give it away. You'll enjoy it. [Laughs] I'm positive.
Time Out New York: I've talked to people over the years who have had falling-outs with Savion. Has that ever happened to you?
Marshall Davis Jr.: No. We've been able to maintain our friendship. We both learn from each other. I think because of our relationships—me with Steve, and him with Jimmy Slyde and Gregory Hines and [Lon] Chaney and Chuck [Green] and Buster [Brown]—those experiences allow us to connect. We can relate to each other in a different way than I think some other people can. We're very passionate about the art form. They meant so much to us. There is a personal attachment to these men and women; we feel like what they shared with us has been life-changing and it's a way of life. It's what I'm living to do, as opposed to what I'm doing for a living. I think that's what has helped us maintain our friendship.
Time Out New York: What kind of tap dancers are you drawn to?
Marshall Davis Jr.: Ones I can hear. [Laughs] Let me hear something intelligent that you're expressing through your sound, as opposed to something flashy or tricky. Big steps, I'm not really a fan of; if I close my eyes I'm hearing the same rhythm over and over and over. It's like a musician playing one note, but doing different things—playing with their finger, playing with their toe and playing with their elbow, but it's still the same note. That's not interesting. I have nothing against a flashy move, but if you're going to do it, know how to incorporate the rhythm. Know when to use the move. Chuck Green said, "You can't always do what you want to do; you have to do what's needed." Sometimes dancers get caught up in doing what they want to do, and they don't realize the difference between the want and the need. It's not just maintaining time and tempo, but knowing when to play that rhythm, knowing when to do that move. Knowing where you are inside of the music so by the end of the song, you're not out of breath because you've done all your best moves in the first 16 bars of the song.
Time Out New York: Do you think about how you look when you dance?
Marshall Davis Jr.: It depends on what I want to present. Sometimes I'll do a concert and say, I'm going to look like this because this is how I'm feeling and who I am and how I want to present the music. They're conscious choices. If I want to smile, that's how I'm feeling as opposed to, I'm going to be onstage—I have to smile right now. If my face has different expressions, that's how I'm feeling the rhythm.
Time Out New York: What does the tap world need now?
Marshall Davis Jr.: To me, the whole world is the tap world in a sense, and we have to make sure that our voice is being heard and that we're aware of what it is that we're expressing. The art applies to life, and the life applies to art. We get so caught up in the "I" that we don't focus on what's bigger than us and that something out there has brought us all together. The art for me is the bigger picture. I don't make tap dancing. Tap dancing doesn't exist because of me. Tap dancing has been around before me and it will be here after me. All I can do is try to be one with it and allow it to play its role in my life by making me a better human being.
Time Out New York: You come from all of these masters. Who are you in this scenario?
Marshall Davis Jr.: I'm someone who's still trying to figure it out. My students say, "Who are we supposed to watch?" I say, "You guys have the luxury of YouTube—you can still watch these dancers even though they're not here, so if you think I know what I'm doing—I'm still trying to figure out what Steve was doing. So don't watch me: In order to really know what it is, watch Steve." A lot of times when people pass, we give them their respect and then we push them to the side. I'm nowhere near the dancer that they were. So I'm still a student. I'm still trying to figure it out. And I'm better off than I was before.
Savion Glover is at the Joyce Theater June 18–July 6.

Blake is definitely faster, guy was a speed demon in his prime. People may vote Hewitt just because he's a defensive player and had a lot more opportunity to show off, but anyone who actually watched the two of them play would say Blake.
Monfils is very likely the fastest ever. Borg wasn't even all that fast, his 100m time was pretty dire by his standards.
His court movement, agility and footwork made him look fast even if he wasnt the fastest in a 100 meter dash.
Blake for me is faster, but Hewitt is not far behind. These two guys are only behind Monfils and Phau for me.
Hewitt is ahead by a bit. Nadal, Monfils (just pure speed, not overall tennis movement which isnt even all that great for him), Borg and possibly Chang are all definitely faster than Hewitt though.
Completely disagree. Blake is faster than Nadal. In fact not sure if Nadal is fastr than Federer. Chang slower than Hewitt, but faster than Federer and Nadal. As I said before Monfils is the quickest.
:lol: Federer may have been more agile and nimble than Nadal, since he was never muscled. But in raw horsepower, Nadal clearly edges him and Djokovic too for that matter. (IMO)
Will have to disagree with this. Nadal had more raw power and could do more with the ball once he reached it, but Federer was equally fast. Nadal is much fitter and can sprint for longer though, so I think this clouds people's judgement. Watch Federer vs Ancic or Gonzalez on a fast surface. Or if you want a direct comparison look at any of Nadal vs Fed clay matches, Wimbledon finals (not 08) and even the 09 Australian Open.
There is no doubt in my mind Blake was faster than Nadal. With Federer is pretty close and would not argue strongly either way.
Federer being faster than him indeed seems silly, but Blake was that kind of a monster. He was much less agile than Nadal though, so not as good of a defender.
I sthat me or do more famous or accomplished players always win these polls. I mean you could ask of Federer is faster than Monfils and he would probably win. :lol:
hewitt was a smoother mover around the court but for sheer bursts of speed have to go with blake...in short blake is faster but hewitt was the better mover
I agree about Blake, and I also agree that Federer is probably faster than most members here think. None of this matters, you and I both know that Steffi was the fastest tennis player in world history. I am quite disappointed with this poll. I can't see Hewitt beating Blake in any sort of sprinting contest. Blake would likely best any of the top four in a straight sprint, even if Nadal is able to get his behind around the court more quickly. To help put an end to the rampant "who is faster?" threads, I suggest that we have a charity race before the Australian Open. Line up ten of the fastest looking players and see who takes it. Throw Sampras in there and we could clear up a lot of issues.
guys like prime blake and prime federer are a different kind of fast movement that nadal in his prime. they accelerate so quickly after the split step.
Well, that was more because of positioning than Nadal. He could make that first step immediately since he was in balance. No doubt that Nadal could explode from 0-60 quicker though.
This. Blake is faster than Hewitt, as is Donald Young. Likewise, Monfils is the fastest player ever as he is undoubtedly the blackest man to ever play the sport. Except for Wesley Snipes... who is faster than all 3.
What kind of fast are we talking. Fast on a track or fast on a tennis court. Monfils on a tennis court isnt even close to the fastest or best mover. In a track meet he might be. Meanwhile a giant LOL at the poster who said Federer might be faster than Nadal.
Fast on a track is also fast on a tennis court. What you talk about is MOVEMENT. This thread doesn't discuss movement, it discusses speed. As in, raw speed. Speed ONLY means track speed.
Not now he isn't faster than Nadal but in his prime Federer was a great mover, one of the best. Probably not as athletic as Nadal but in terms of footwork, nobody had better footwork than Federer in his prime, including an in prime Nadal.
Well that would be part of my point. Federer had better footwork and was in many ways a more effecient mover than Nadal yet even with that he was not a better overall mover than Nadal prime to prime, and probably overall still behind (especialy taking into account clay where he is way behind). So with that said Nadal must be and was clearly ahead in raw speed, even compared to prime Federer. Anyway who knows tennis would concur with this. Meanwhile if we are including things like footwork and efficient movement someone like Monfils would fall way down, even with his raw track speed, he almost looks clumsy at times moving on a tennis court and moving sideways or diagonally in fact, on no planet was he ever the best mover no matter how much raw track speed he had, so the clarification on what we are talking about isnt even clear. However if it is raw speed only, the only way Monfils should even be discussed, Nadal would be clearly ahead of any age or any version of Federer.
As I said in terms of sheer athleticism and raw speed Nadal is probably better than Federer, but a lot of that is probably due to their very different styles of play. Nadal relies on his defence and ability to get back every ball, that is what makes him great. Federer does not rely on defence the way Nadal does so it is not something that most people would talk about in reference to Federer. When people talk about what makes Federer great, it is usually, footwork, shot range and shot selection, etc. So, I agree with you that Nadal's raw speed is greater but it is also because his style of play highlights that particular feature of his game more so than it would for a Federer type player.
I would have to say blake for pure foot speed. Although Hewitt covered the court better than anyone in his day, and Blake wasn't interested in hanging back.
Those players were not a part of "Hewitt's day", which I am sure refers to his time on top of his and the mens game, except for a young Federer. Coria only moved better on clay. Davydenko no way moved better than Hewitt regardless.
So what if he does. 95% of the posters here have a poster of Federer, a picture of Federer in their wallet, a projector that gives an image of Federer on their wall at night, and a marriage proposal to Federer (regardless of gender) they carry in their pocket to each tournament they attend he might be in.

Grace period mulled for medical grows in Maple Ridge
The District of Maple Ridge is trying to figure out what to do once home-based medical marijuana operations become illegal in two months.
Starting April 1, the roughly 38,000 Canadians currently licensed to carry medicinal marijuana will no longer be allowed to grow their own cannabis or source it from small-scale designated growers.
Instead, only large, commercial operations authorized by Health Canada will produce and sell pot. Patients will only get dried cannabis shipped to them via mail or courier, a dispensary or commercial grower.
Exact local figures are difficult to find as the federal government is not permitted to share the location of licensed grow ops with municipal or law enforcement officials.
However, Ridge Meadows RCMP estimate there could be as many as 500 properties with licenses to grow cannabis for medical use.
"It's harder and harder to find an illegal grow," Insp. Dave Fleugel said following a meeting with council to discuss how the district will deal with the new rules.
RCMP are not in favour of an outright crack-down, but are looking to civic politicians to guide how they will ensure formerly legal growops are dismantled.
"It's still a bit of an evolving landscape," said Fleugel, adding that the medical growops that will be targeted first are the ones with links to organized crime.
"This has the potential to cripple the courts. Something is going to have to take a back seat if we are going to go after all of them. It's important to be strategic about it."
Fleugel says a lot of resources go into investigating a growop and a cost-benefit analysis would be a preferred route.
RCMP and the fire department have even discussed an amnesty or grace-period, which would allow people to divulge the location and have their growops decommissioned without facing a penalty.
The fire department wants to ensure all former medical grow operations are properly restored. That means dealing with mould, electrical and fire safety issues, although there hasn't been a fire at a medical grow operations recently.
"We are going to be dealing with it as a property use issue," said fire chief Dane Spence.
Health Canada has said it will provide written guidance to current program users to "facilitate the proper disposal of dried cannabis and marijuana plants and encourage compliance with federal, provincial and municipal laws," but has no way to ensure everyone will comply.
Although police and the fire department are advising council to act with caution, one Maple Ridge councillor believes it's the district's duty to take action.
We've known about this issue for a long time and erring on the side of caution by simply allowing things to just roll along because of a "changing landscape" is unacceptable, said Michael Morden, who will be vying for the mayor's seat in the next civic election.
Morden wants to know why there hasn't been additional preparation on a local level.
"Do we have a meaningful bylaw mechanism to deal with this? Where will all the additional fire, police and bylaw services come from? Can we keep them safe? Who will pay? Or are we simply going to just let the many hundreds of full-scale grow ops just continue to plague this community?
"The lack of pre-planning has huge cost implications on our taxpayers, as well places an enormous burden on our protective services. If we don't plan ahead, not only will we continue to be the default regulators of this problem, but we will bear all the costs, which isn't fair to all the law-abiding taxpayers."
Morden would like to use B.C.'s Community Charter or local bylaws to recoup the costs of inspecting and remediating the medical grows from the growers themselves.
The new federal regulations, however, are being challenged in court by a group named the MMAR Coalition Against Appeal.
Maple Ridge resident Sandra Colasanti and her husband Remo are one of 6,600 coalition members actively working to prevent the new rules from coming into force. A hearing date for an injunction is set for March 18.
Although Colasanti does not use medical marijuana, she became an advocate after her husband began using and growing cannabis to treat chronic pain, stemming from a broken neck and back.
"Most patients I know don't hang out with gangsters," said Colasanti, annoyed that politicians continue to lump medical growers in with the illegal marijuana trade.
"We have no interest in breaking the law."
The Colasantis will dismantle their medical operation by March 31, but want to leave the structure and lights in place should the repeal coalition win in court. Their operation, licensed since 2000, has been inspected by fire and building officials.
Colasanti believes most home-based growers will shut down their operations rather than risk a visit from police.
"We honestly feel that we are going to win in court," said Colasanti, who is being inundated with calls from chronically ill license holders who are worried about a shortage of marijuana and the expense of purchasing it via mail.
"The only people who are going to continue growing after April 1 are the ones who can't afford to buy it, the ones who are really sick."

Marion County citizens and county officials expressed concerns about the Marion County Veterans Memorial Highway even before it opened four months ago.
Those concerns have been expressed through petitions calling for traffic signals and in fiscal court discussions. In the meantime, both the Lebanon City Council and the Marion County Fiscal Court have expressed support for putting up streetlights on the highway.
