ANDREA SEABROOK, host:
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Andrea Seabrook.
MICHELE NORRIS, host:
And I'm Michele Norris.
Congress is still wrestling with the question of founding the Iraq war. The House has already passed a bill that would parcel out funds in installments. And this week, the Senate will probably vote on a bill of its own.
For the last week, one of the most prominent Iraqi political leaders has been in Washington meeting with lawmakers. His name is Barham Salih, he's a Kurd, and he's one of Iraq's deputy prime ministers. Salih's been hearing firsthand from members of Congress why many of them are running out of patience with Iraq's leaders. And he's also been explaining why he thinks that an early U.S. pullout would be disastrous.
Dr. BARHAM SALIH (Deputy Prime Minister, Iraq): I can understand that perhaps the present posture of American troops in the urban centers of Iraq and American kids in humvees wandering the streets of Baghdad may not be an image that Americans can tolerate for much longer. I can understand this thing. But this is a battle against an enemy called al-Qaida and international terrorism that is transcending borders and it is attacking here in the United States - is attacking us in Iraq.
We cannot afford - we have to adopt in a way that we can win it in time. It is important that we enter a different level of partnership between the Iraqi government and Iraqi leadership and the United States. Because ultimately, it is about Iraqi leadership. I can tell you this readily, and I said this back in Baghdad - Americans cannot deliver for us, we have to delver for own country.
NORRIS: You say Iraq needs to deliver for itself, to stand on its own. Until its able to do that, if you are against any kind of timetable for withdrawal, how long do you think the U.S. should or would be involved in Iraq?
Dr. SALIH: I think more and more reliance will have to be placed on the Iraqi side. And we are witnessing that when we assumed sovereignty in 2004 - June 2004 - we had no forces. Now, Iraqi police and Iraqi military are nearly 400,000 or so. In terms of time, I can tell you the vision that we have and this is something that we in the administration are on accordant on this matter is that we build Iraqi forces. As more Iraqi troops come on line, they assume more responsibility and our reliance on the Americans will be less than before.
I hope we will reach a stage where Americans will not be needed for daily combat operations. Where the Americans will be redeployed to a strategic posture, where they will be there as an asset to fight in a strategic sense, where they are needed to fight the extremists and the terrorists, or to deter regional interferences. I think that is not impossible to imagine in the foreseeable future.
NORRIS: Now, Dr. Salih, I didn't hear in that answer a timeframe. Because for many Americans…
Dr. SALIH: I…
NORRIS: …what they're uncomfortable with is this open-ended commitment.
Dr. SALIH: I don't think there should be an open-ended commitment. The reason I'm avoiding a timeframe per se is because I don't want that the enemy know what the timeframe will be, and I don't want them just to simply wait us out. If people think that this can be fixed in any given American cycle - political cycle - they will be proven wrong. This is very much like the Cold War.
This is a long-term struggle. We need to be honest about it, clear about it. But I am readily willing to accept that the present posture of American deployment in Iraq may not be sustainable from a domestic point of view. How can we change that process so that it will be sustainable, so that we can win it, and not let time be used against us.
NORRIS: Is the surge working?
Dr. SALIH: On a security level, yes. Many districts of Baghdad have been cleared of terrorist and militias, many important discoveries of weapon caches and bomb factories, a new phase of the operation have started, and I have to remind you also that the full deployment of forces had not taken place yet. And the surge gives us the time to lock in a political settlement, a power sharing arrangement that could create the political coalition needed to defeat in al-Qaida and supporting and enhancing our military capabilities. The surge, so far so good, buy we need to do better on the political track.
NORRIS: If the political framework is so important - there's one issue that has left many members of Congress scratching their heads - why are lawmakers planning a two-month summer break when so much key legislation is still on a stalemate.
Dr. SALIH: Well, there's a saying that one has to be always careful what one wishes for. We wished for a democracy in our part of the world, an independence of the legislature and our legislature is powerful and have a mind of their own - actually 275 minds of their own. These are the numbers of Iraqi parliamentarians. I'm glad to tell you that I spoke to the speaker of parliament a couple days ago, he told me that he and the prime minister have had a discussion about this thing. They have decided to postpone their recess. So that they will remain in session in July, awaiting proposed legislation to go to them from the government.
NORRIS: I want to return to something you had said. In your estimate, you're saying the surge is working, but might this be a temporary breakthrough in the areas where they've actually been able to actually provide come measure of security if the extremists or the insurgents, or whatever you call them, are merely leaving the area and planning wait out the U.S. and Iraqi forces and return the minute they let up pressure?
Dr. SALIH: That is the danger. How can we sustain the military gains. It's not just a matter of clearing a neighborhood for a day and then we're leaving it and creating a vacuum. And we are working now on measures by which these military victories, these security measures, could be sustained beyond the search.
NORRIS: What is the message that you leave with after your visit here and your many meetings…
Dr. SALIH: I leave with a message and it is a helpful message, by the way, it will help me debate this issue in the Iraqi cabinet and with my parliamentarian colleagues - one of frustration and one of waning patience with this transitionary walk - tat we need to do better. We need to demonstrate progress on a different scale. The world's greatest democracy is helping us - want to help us - but we need to demonstrate that they have a much more effective partner in that.
I believe it's a positive message - it's not dammed. And I have not heard, by the way, from anybody that they want to throw in the towel with these guys as such. I mean…
NORRIS: But are you getting a message that patience is wearing thin?
Dr. SALIH: It's wearing thin, but they need to see progress. And Americans should understand it is not only the government of Iraq at the other end receiving this message, other interested parties are also receiving this message. Some of whom are liking it and they want to feed your frustration, and want to escalate the conflict in Baghdad or in Diyala or in (unintelligible) so that they can grow this frustration in the United States.
The question is how we win thing. The fate of the Iraqi is not only important for Iraqis, it is important for the rest of the region, as well.
NORRIS: Dr. Salih, thank you for coming in to talk us.
Dr. SALIH: Thank you for this opportunity.
NORRIS: That was Barham Salih, the deputy prime minister of Iraq.

DL Vascular laser by Lumenis can cure rosacea, rosacea from varicose veins, blemishes and dark eye socket. Vascular laser at BSL clinic is a tool that works only with hemoglobin. The laser works by making the excessive blood vessels shrink, thus the skin becomes whitening. It also reduces redness when exposure to the sun or dark eye sockets resulting from too many blood vessels during inadequate sleep.
How's its principle?
In particular, laser beam will bind to red blood cells with oxygen, thus it does not affect any other pigments. After that, blood vessels will shrink. Moreover, generated heat also helps to build collagen in the dermis.
Symptoms after treatment
After Vascular laser, veins will turn a little darker and gradually fade thereafter. There's no scar after treatment and patients can go to work normally.
Maintenance after Vascular laser
There is no rehabilitation. Patients can go to work normally, do not have to avoid the sun. The laser works only on vessels only.
How long does the treatment take?
Each treatment reveals that vein and redness are faded. This can be seen from the first treatment. BSL clinic medical team By Anan clinic has been invented and developed treatment of blood vessels, rosacea And redness Continuously by a combination of treatments including healthy skin care, Less sensitive to light and reduce irritation. Our skin creation provides healthy from within together with the use of technology to reduce the incidence of new capillaries to keep your skin healthy and whitening.

Pay attention to the live electric guitars of this Rock instrumental. Smooth and happy vibes and melodies. Perfect to listen while you smoke some joints.
Sounds Like a:
Rock Instrumental
Rock / Hip Hop Instrumental
Happiness, Happy, Joints, Electric guitar, Rock, Rock Instrumental
Everyone knows that hiphop instrumentals get merged perfectly with rock music elements. Who haven't heard yet an instrumental with a guitar solo or a guitar riff even in in the hook? This rock instrumental has an unbelievable and amazing happy mood, that kind of mood that rarely come up and that appears only when you're massively inspired by something. I'm sure that everyone that makes music will know that, the 99% of your music could be great, but when the music comes directly from your soul things get done in a strictly different way.
The live guitar riff has been also composed by me, it has some bending and distortion plugins to make it sounding in the great way but it has been composed. So you will not have to worry about samples clearance or something like. This is that kind of rock instrumental that sounds great even without voices over it, if you're sure that you can kill this beat and get also inspired by his mood then feel free to record your track and leave the link of the song and your thoughts over the comments section. Peace out family!

Roles People Play
Quite often, we are required to play different roles with respect to the same person. In the process lot of misunderstandings occur due to perception at both ends.
At work, we have a subordinate who is also a friend. This friend does not play his role in the office as required.
In the role of a friend, you try to protect him in various ways besides telling him / her about the problems in a friendly manner.
However, if it is not adhered to, it may go the extreme end that you may even need to terminate him/her. It is a very difficult choice. You are torn between both the roles.
In the earlier days, we could take a very dharmic stand and take decisions.
However, now we are required to play a role negotiating happiness for various people in the name of Professionalism / Management etc and suffer.
At home, we have to act as a Parent, Friend, Teacher, friend to your kids.
Often a role is over played by each of the participant resulting in clashes and misunderstanding. Each forgets that they are over stepping on the other role due to inherent flair for one.
Thus, a parent who is generally has a strong Vasanas of a Teacher in making, preaches more and is not able to know when to cut off and act as a friend.
Please give your recommendation to solve the above by way of flower remedy.
Whatever the role we play, let us ask a simple question.
What is that we lack in any role?
Basically, every relationship is based on communication. How do we communicate? What do we communicate? What do we want to communicate?
The objective of any communication is to reach out to the other person.
BEECH is the remedy for improving our communication.
What are the negative mental states of Beech?
- Unable to understand other man's point of view
- Unable to appreciate other man's priorities
- Intolerance
- Fault-finding
- Desire to control or change the other person
If one is in one of the above mental states, right communication will not take place. Here, how Beech can help us?
BEECH can bridge the gap between two persons and makes one understand other man's point of view.
WALNUT should be taken along with Beech. Walnut can bring in change in the mind. A changed outlook and a changed view will give a different communication tool.
For you Mr. Reddy, in addition to taking BEECH and WALNUT, you take CENTAURY also, while communicating in the office.
"What would my friend think? Will he be hurt, if I say this?" These expressions belong to negative mental state of Centaury.
Wonderfully explained….your site is a healthy addiction.
I feel the need to read it like a holy book everyday…sorting out life's many questions and seeking the right answer….
I follow so many remedies you advice, go through the topics so many times, sometimes apply my 2 cents worth as well….analyse life's situation from a different angle….
I have changed so much in my mind and heart…..all because of being a part of this wonderful site and your guidance!!!!
Thank you ever so much…….Naran….THERE's still so much to absorb from you……..regards……
Help for my children
I called WOLF on two occasions to help my children.
Our younger son had an exam yesterday. He had a thumb injury which was operated.
I was anxious regarding the pain and spasm he has been having while writing. He called to say he had no pain and has done well.
Our doctor son, who is trying for PG, had to take a lecture this morning for a class of medical students on one of the most difficult topics to understand in Anatomy.
He just called to say, his lecture was a hit! It was very well appreciated by the Professors, junior faculty and students!!
Thank you once again for helping me.

Since, the topics of trees have come up. I want to tell about a certain event.
In my work place, we have a very old and large MALAI VEMBU (Neem) tree below which everyone sits and vehicles are parked.
Last week, the entire tree with its base fell down. It made a crackling noise for some minutes before it fell, giving something like a warning, so that everyone could move out.
Surprisingly there was no vehicle nearby. So everything was safe. All of us thanked the divine tree.
Very good! Keep thanking when you see the trees – any tree on your way.

John Q (2002)
My Rating : *****
MovieStudio Quote >> "There are no limits a father can't cross, for a Son!"
John Q. Archibald (Denzel Washington) is struggling through a recession trying to provide for his son Mikey (Daniel E. Smith) and his waitress wife (Kimberly Elise). Mikey collapses at a Little League game and is rushed to a hospital. The situation is bleak. Only a heart transplant will save Mikey's life. John's HMO refuses to cover the expensive surgery.
With the hospital and his insurance provider unwilling to help and his wife pleading with John to act, he takes matters into his own hands, holding the hospital's renowned heart surgeon (James Woods) and several others hostage in an emergency care wing until the surgery will be performed. Nick Cassavetes directed this attack on the American health care system. Like his previous feature, SHE'S SO LOVELY, Cassavetes proves adept at mining the political ramifications out of human drama. The film criticizes hospitals and health care providers for working in collusion against the working class. This moving drama is propelled by the intense lead performance by Washington as one man against an unjust system.

Spanish reports claim that Barcelona and Manchester United are set for a sensational player swap this summer.
Angel Di Maria saw red for grabbing the referee as Manchester United were tumbled out of the FA Cup on Monday night by Arsenal, but beyond that, the Argentine star could also be heading out of the Old Trafford exit door, according to reports in Spain.
Sports daily AS believes that with Manchester United showing such strong interest in striker Pedro lately, with the 28-year-old uncertain about his future according to Inside Spanish Football, this could pave the way for Barcelona to open negotiations on a swap deal involving Angel Di Maria.
Since his £59.7 million arrival from Real Madrid last summer, many feel that whilst Angel Di Maria has shown moments of brilliance for the Red Devils, he's yet to demonstrate full value for money, following such an important outlay by the club.
Meanwhile for Pedro at Barcelona, although starting opportunities have decreased with the potency offered by a trident of Neymar, Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi, he has made an important contribution when he's featured.
Pedro has made just 12 starts in 25 La Liga appearances, but has helped his side with five goals. In the Copa del Rey he's enjoyed more prominence whilst helping Barcelona to the final, with five goals in five appearances. However, out of four starts from six appearances in the Champions League, he's yet to find the back of the net this season.

We had a really nice Memorial Day Weekend this year and I hope you did too!
We spent some time this weekend thinking, and talking, about our family and friends who have served in the military. It is essential to acknowledge the sacrifices that they, and millions of others, make every day on behalf of our country.
Here's what our long weekend looked like…
Friday – To our surprise the City of Houston delivered a single-stream recycling container to our house in the morning. Finally! Recycling just got easier at Cliffwood. This is a win-win for us and Mother Earth.
Both of my parents had the day off so they came over and my Mom cooked lunch for us. I am totally spoiled! My organization closed our offices two hours early on Friday, so I was able to spend a few more hours than normal with George during the day. We had so much fun playing with his toys and practicing sitting up and trying to crawl. For dinner, we kept things casual and devoured leftovers from lunch. We ended the night with a breezy stroll through the neighborhood. George goes to bed between 8:30 and 9:00 PM now, so bedtime comes early for the two of us. I don't mind because I need the rest these days.
Saturday – After 10 hours of sleep, George was a happy baby in the morning. We are fortunate to have a good sleeper on our hands. The three of us met up with Julie at the Urban Harvest Eastside Farmer's Market in the morning to do some shopping. We ended up purchasing some fresh salsa, pimento cheese, carrots, broccoli, peaches, and mint. Since we hadn't eaten breakfast prior to our visit, John had a taco and we shared an order of the breakfast tostadas and a blackberry lemonade from Shade/Canopy. Delicious! I really love that there are different vendors and products each week – it keeps things interesting. I can definitely see visits to the Market becoming a regular part of our weekend routine. We spent the afternoon cleaning, running errands, napping (George) and playing. I also hit the gym for a quick afternoon run. We went to late afternoon mass, then grilled some sliders and baked some fries for dinner. Dinner casual and perfect. We ended the night with another stroll through the neighborhood. I love ending the day like that – it's very relaxing and peaceful.
Sunday – Our Georgie had another great night of sleep – and so did I. For the first time in months, I slept for 7 hours straight. Amen! We kicked the morning off with a long walk through the neighborhood before it got too warm. For breakfast, I made egg and bacon tacos with homemade tortillas from Whole Foods. Perfection! While John worked in the yard, I had play and nap duty with George. I *totally* had the better assignment!
We had another casual day and passed the time playing, napping and running a few errands as a family. I also spent some time cleaning out the freezer, George's closet and my office closet. I also spent some time updating this blog (much more updating is needed – my apologies). We had another casual dinner and ate leftovers. I'm actually pretty excited about us eating leftovers because we are really trying to mindful about not wasting food.
Monday – George woke up early yesterday and I had my very own personal 6:00 AM wake-up call! I ended up running early in the morning (see my previous post about the running challenge that John and I are doing) then taking care of George while John ran. For breakfast, I made scrambled eggs with GF avocado toast. Heavenly. We spent the rest of the morning playing and napping. My parents, Julie and Ian came over midday for a barbecue. My parents brought grilled sausage, ribs and chicken, I made a GF pasta salad and green beans, and Julie made a cookie ice cream for Ian's birthday. I really love these pot luck meals because everyone does a little bit of work on the front end, gets to eat as a family, then leaves with enough leftovers for several meals. George loves it because he gets to spend time with family!
I've said it before and I'll say it again. We are incredibly fortunate to live close to family members that we love and get to see so often. I treasure the time I get to spend with my family.

When a user conducts a search using a keyword or phrase, organic search results and relevant advertisements known as PPC Ads will appear. Pay-Per-Click advertisements are displayed above and below organic search results. While not everyone clicks on PPC ads, they are important for your company and brand visibility.
The cost per click is determined by how relevant the keywords searched are in relation to the content of your website or landing page and the products or services that you are selling. In other words, how well your site is optimized for the keywords you are targeting helps lower your PPC cost.
Whether your company is brand new or well established, Pay-Per-Click is a great way to get your company found quickly. Essentially, it's a way of buying visits to your site, rather than attempting to "earn" those visits organically. It can also be a great billboard for your business. By having ads constantly visible to your target market you are building brand awareness with little to no cost at all. PPC is most effective when your site is optimized for search engines (SEO), and can be a great booster to organic rankings. If your newly optimized site is struggling to get on the first page for a chosen keyword, Pay-Per-Click can be a quick way to get listed at the top of the paid search results. There is one catch: You have to know how to do it. Leave that to NAVEO.

There was some consolation for patrons turning up to Café Fanny this morning for breakfast only to discover it had closed down permanently yesterday: a Blue Bottle cart had set up shop in the parking lot next to Café Fanny, and no doubt the Oakland-brewed coffee was welcomed, although many are pining for the departed eatery's beignets, bowls of café au lait and signature granola. [Hat-tip: Aaron Glimme.]
The week started with a jolt as Berkeley was shaken awake with two strong earthquakes at 5:33 am on Monday morning. That same morning we reported on a multiple shooting on Bonar Street that had happened the night before. And two days later we revealed new information about a Berkeley street shoot-out in December.
Update 2:30 pm. City officials respond to incident:
Three of these adorable puppies are still available: Leia, Yoda and Wolfy. Come meet them today, Saturday March 10th, 12-4, at the Milo Foundation mobile adoption event at Rockridge Pet Food Express store on Broadway at 51st Street. We will have ten puppies, and many dogs and cats coming also.

Tranmere striker Ian Thomas-Moore has joined League Two promotion chasers Rotherham United for an undisclosed fee.
The 34-year-old former Leeds United star returned to Rovers in January 2008 and scored 38 goals in 140 appearances in his second spell at the club, but will now join his father and Millers boss Ronnie Moore at Rotherham.
Tranmere manager Les Parry said: "I'm sorry to see Ian leave us but Rotherham have been tracking him for some 18 months.
"We have been negotiating an extended contract with Ian for some months. Unfortunately, we were not able to come to an agreement and he has decided to take the opportunity presented from Rotherham."

UConn learns next NCAA opponent
UConn's next NCAA tournament opponent is a familiar one.
Third-seeded Iowa State beat No. 6 North Carolina, 85-83, Sunday to advance to the East Region Sweet Sixteen.
Two years ago, UConn lost its NCAA tourney opener to Iowa State, 77-64, in Louisville. It was the only meeting between the two teams.
Seventh-seeded UConn (28-8) will play Iowa State (28-7) Friday night at Madison Square Garden in New York. Game time is 7:27 p.m.
Iowa State, which finished third in the Big 12 this season with an 11-7 mark, relies on a balanced attack.
DeAndre Kane led the way against North Carolina, finishing with 24 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists. He scored the game-winning basket on a driving layup with 1.6 seconds left. Melvin Ejim (19), Dustin Hogue (14), Monte Morris (13) and Naz Long (12) also scored in double figures.
In the 2012 NCAA loss, Napier scored a game-high 22 points. Eljim had 11 points and five rebounds for Iowa State.
UConn will be making its second Sweet Sixteen appearance in the last four years. It is Iowa State's first trip to the regional semifinals since 2000.
All four practices -- UConn, Iowa State, Michigan State and Virginia -- on Thursday at Madison Square Garden are open to the public. The Huskies work out first, going from noon to 12:50 p.m.
Doors open at 11 a.m.

The online auction service eBay Inc. has come under fire previously for letting people bid on pornography and firearms. Yesterday, it encountered more problems when a group that monitors anti-Semitism complained about the sale of Nazi memorabilia.
A letter sent to the company by the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles said items that ''glorify Nazism'' were being auctioned and noted that the sale of such items was illegal in Germany.
''My goal here is not to get eBay indicted,'' said Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the center. ''My goal is to keep eBay from selling Nazi memorabilia in Germany.''
A spokesman for eBay, which is based in San Jose, Calif., said that the company already prohibited the sale of such items in Germany because they are outlawed there. But he said it generally polices the sales of banned items only after receiving complaints from users. In addition, the spokesman said, the service expects users in Germany not to violate their country's laws and thus would not technologically block such sales.
Last week, Amazon.com said it would stop selling Hitler's ''Mein Kampf'' to customers in Germany, citing German laws prohibiting sales of hate literature. The move came after the Wiesenthal Center filed legal complaints against Amazon and other Internet booksellers in August.
Unlike Amazon, eBay does not handle or ship the items sold on its site.
A search for listings containing the word ''Nazi'' on eBay yesterday returned nearly 3,000 items. They included a Nuremberg rally postcard for $24, items described as ''Five Beautiful Large Nazi Death Notices!!'' for $40, and a Nuremberg rally flag for $550.Continue reading the main story

NEPTA wishes to thank Mr. Zeiba for this collection of transit photos. We are also honored to share Mr. Zeiba's story with our transit colleagues.
Written by George Zeiba
My interest in trolley cars and buses began at two years of age, when my father, an Eastern Mass St. Ry motor man and bus operator, took me with him on his day off to turn in his fare readings from the previous day. If I behaved myself he would take me into the garage and let me sit in the drivers seat of the buses or trolleys.
My father started with the East Taunton St Ry in the early 20's learning to operate & repair street cars. At the urging of his brothers, who also worked for the East Taunton St Ry, to also apply to the Eastern Mass Taunton Div, for a job, and was hired operating both cars & buses.
With the Conversation of car lines to bus routes in the Taunton division area and the loss of jobs at the beginning of the depression, four Taunton operators applied to transfer to the Quincy Division where employment was fairly stable in the industry, rider ship on EM car & bus routes stayed steady.
My interest in Eastern Mass remains even until today although they were sold to the MBTA in 1968. Besides my father, my grandfather drove street cars on the Weymouth Division of the Old Colony-Bay State and the Eastern Mass St Ry.
During World War II two of my uncles worked Saturdays and Sundays as mechanics at the Eastern Mass Taunton garage and one even worked for Harry Bloom in the late 50's part time.
My first pictures were taken in 1946 using a Kodak Box camera using 120 film, 6 photos to a roll of film.
I started working as a page at the Thomas Crane Public Library, Quincy, MA after school and went full time in 1952, then served in the Army during the Korean conflict serving with the First Cavalry Division in the Far East.
After my tour of duty I went back to the library and from 1957-1990 I was the Bookmobile Librarian and driver in Quincy.
Claire and I were married in 1960 and on our honeymoon visited three trolley museums in New England and our 50th wedding anniversary we visited two new garages in Vermont.
In my bus & trolley collection today I have 330 albums or around 11,000 photos, some 350 books, 80 bus tank models, as well as 28 Corgi bus models painted for New England bus companies, fare box registers and I have 5 special models of streetcars, 4 Eastern Mass and one East Taunton. I also have a model of a sweeper and one plow model that were used for clearing snow off the rails and the car lines of Quincy.
Claire and I are known around New England as the "Bus Nuts" with camera. We travel the six New England states visiting Bus garages and photographing the new coaches and transit buses.

Made my words the fourth day in a row. It's adding up fast.
Chapter 8 he gets paid for his day fishing with the fishermen, then is interrogated by a gryphon and listed in a registry of visiting mages and invited to Baron Cymron's Court. Later he meets Galloray again who convinces him to accept weregild for Narasil's murder attempt rather than dueling her or demanding her death. Galloray tries to explain her side of it but eventually says that since the Necromancer did choose the weregild, if she refuses to give it he'll stand with the Necromancer.

Remodeling your kitchen or bathroom is a terrific way give your home a whole new look. Renovating your home requires a lot of planning and attention to detail. Which is why you need to consult with the experts at
Lewis Plumbing
, to ensure that your dream kitchen can be made into a reality. Our team is experienced with all manner of appliances and fixtures used in today's kitchens and bathrooms. With our trained attention focused to the special requirements of your project in terms of size and usage, we can help you select the perfect sink, dishwasher or water purification system that is right for you.
We ask the kinds of questions that need to be asked when considering how to implement plumbing into a redesign. For instance consider the plumbing for your laundry. Perhaps as part of the floor plan, your utility room requires a change of space to accommodate the new design. In the case of a smaller utility room, you may have to install a new stacked washer/dryer unit, rather than two side by side machines. With our advice, we can tell you how to make these rooms function. Whatever the necessities of your home, Lewis Plumbing Inc. can make professional recommendations and find the right solution for you.
Bathroom Remodeling
Replacing the fixtures in your bathroom can dramatically change the style of the room. Many of our customers change out the faucets because of the unsightly buildup of hard water. After installing a soft water system to the house, newly installed handles and spouts retain that clean and polished look. Replacing the shower, tub or toilet are things we handle with the ease that comes from experience. Once you have made your selection on the type of fixtures you want in your remodeled bathroom, leave the set up to us. You can relax with the confidence that we will have your new bathroom operational in no time.

I know I said I wasn't going to post this week, but I have a few minutes right now during lunch and I thought I'd give you a little update on the paperbackswap! And show you this really cute picture by one of my favorite artists, Stephanie Fizer! You can get a personalized bookplate of this little owl in her etsy shop!
So far I have mailed 31 books and received 30 books! I know, it's crazy! Now I have all these books piling up that I want to read and they just sit there at my desk mocking me because I can't read them right now! Here are the books I've received since my last update and I thought it would be fun if I put in parenthesis why I got these (at least for the ones I can remember!):
1. The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson (Allison and possible bookclub choice)
2. Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah (NY Times Bestseller List)
3. Gods and Generals by Jeffrey Shaara (Civil War Class)
4. Inferno by Dante Alighieri (b/c I read The Gargoyle and possible bookclub choice)
5. The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien (I just liked The Lord of the Rings and thought I might like to read this)
6. Once and Future King by T. H. White (Allison and that's what Magneto was reading while in jail in one of the X-Men movies…although that's not a real reason)
7. Out Stealing Horses by Per Petterson (10 Best Books of 2007)
8. The House of Gentle Men by Kathy Hepinstall (possible bookclub choice)
9. The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde (possible bookclub choice)
10. The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon (possible bookclub choice)
11. Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder (possible bookclub choice)

PSD is the First Deaf School in the Nation to recieve RAMP Status!
The Pennsylvania School for the Deaf (PSD) is the FIRST recognized ASCA (American School Counselor Association) Model Program (also known as RAMP) school for the deaf in the Nation! PSD is very proud to be among the caliber of schools that have received this recognition. We are equally proud of our Student Development Team for enabling us to achieve this status. It may be helpful to know that of other schools that serve the general population of students that are hearing, less than half of 1% receive RAMP status!
PSD received this distinguished recognition at the ASCA National Conference on June 30, 2015. PSD has now become the model school for other institutions serving deaf and hard-of-hearing students, as they begin their own journey to becoming a RAMP designated program.
PSD's credits this to our stellar Student Development Team, who is not only in compliance with national standards set by the ASCA, but are leaders in their field. Recognized ASCA Model Programs are data-driven, results-based, and designed to provide equal access to guidance and counseling for all students.
Program goals are based on feedback from parents, students, teachers, and the school community. These goals help the Student Development Team create developmental programming and strategies that provide our students with the tools to succeed in school and the world at large. PSD's proven counseling approach benefits the not only the individual student but contributes directly to the culture and climate of the school atmosphere. When counseling issues are met with experience, skill and proven methods, a student is free to engage fully in classroom work and projects.

It is not common to develop a decompression related illness, but if
you do, you should know something about the different forms of treatment
for decompression sickness (DCS) or arterial gas embolism (AGE). These
two injuries together are often referred to as decompression illness
(DCI). There are many manifestations of DCI. These can include pain
in an elbow or knee, or a neurologic injury that produces numbness or
weakness in a leg, difficulty with urination, or paralysis. Even more
severe injury can occur from pulmonary barotrauma and arterial air embolism.
Regardless of the seriousness of your symptom, your next step is to
recognize the fact that you have decompression sickness or air embolism,
and need recompression therapy. You may seek treatment yourself in a
hyperbaric chamber after the dive, or might be transported to a hyperbaric
When you learn about therapy, you will discover that the most common
treatment tables were developed by the United States Navy and have been
in use for many years in the treatment of decompression illness. There
are also treatment tables from the British Navy, from France, and an
interesting one from Australia that involves returning to depth in the
water. This was developed because dive sites in the South Pacific can
be far from a treatment facility.
Most treatment tables will take you to a depth of 60 feet for usual
types of decompression sickness, to 100 feet when injuries are severe,
and to 165 feet if the physician feels that brain injury from AGE is
most likely to improve with greater bubble compression.
Treatment for DCS and AGE usually starts with a recompression to 60
feet on 100 percent oxygen. This begins the standard Navy Table 6. In
some cases, when only a joint is involved, a short 60 feet oxygen table
(U.S. Navy Table 5) may be used. Both tables expose the injured diver
to 60 feet of 100 percent oxygen for a period of time, then ascend to
30 feet and provide further exposure to 100 percent oxygen. U.S. Navy
Table 6 (see chart) provides short intervals of air breathing to avoid
oxygen toxicity.
In the past, treatment of arterial air embolism with evidence of brain injury involved use of Table 6a. It begins with a recompression to 165 feet on air, or a mixture of 50 percent oxygen in nitrogen. After 20 minutes at 165 feet, the diver is brought to 60 feet and the remainder of the treatment is similar to Table 6. Research has demonstrated that Table 6 usually provides the same benefit as Table 6a, which is now used for refractory DCI that is not improving with Table 6. Most treatment protocols described the use of Navy Table 4 when treatment fails with either Table 6 or Table 6a. Table 4 is one of several saturation tables. These expose divers to treatments in excess of 24 hours and are usually reserved for large hyperbaric facilities. Navy Table 7 can be used for severe cases of DCI that have not responded to more conventional therapy.
In-water Recompression Therapy
Divers in the South Pacific developed treatment tables that involve underwater treatment. This is because of long distances and prolonged delays expected when a diving accident occurs in remote sites. These treatments follow a planned schedule, and use oxygen in a fashion similar to other tablessupplied through a full-face mask. Appropriate diving dress is needed to keep the injured diver warm. Equipment also includes some form of communication between the surface, the attendant and the injured diver. Treatment begins when the diver is lowered to 30 feet, breathing 100 percent oxygen. After 30 minutes in mild cases or 60 minutes in severe cases, the diver begins ascent at a rate of four minutes per foot. Total elapsed time for a mild case would be about two and one-half hours, and for severe cases about three hours. Upon surfacing, the injured diver is given surface oxygen, alternating one hour on oxygen and one hour on air for 12 hours. For comparison, U.S. Navy Table 6 has a minimum time of four hours and 45 minutes, but can be extended by adding additional oxygen periods at either 60 feet or 30 feet. U.S. Navy Table 4 requires 38 hours and 11 minutes. U.S. Navy Table 7 begins at 60 feet on oxygen; minimum time at 60 feet is 12 hours and the patient uses periodic oxygen breathing as in Table 6. Decompression starts with two-foot excursions. The total ascent time from 60 feet to the surface is about 36 hours.
Chamber Configurations
The treatment tables must be modified when single-person chambers, or monoplace chambers, are used. These are usually compressed with 100 percent oxygen and the patient breathes the chamber gas. In a large chamber facility (a multiplace chamber), the chamber is compressed with air and several patients breathe oxygen through masks. Air breaks are possible by removing the masks. Monoplace therapy is usually provided at 30 feet to avoid oxygen toxicity. Treatment should account for the severity of the illness and the need for medical support. Unconscious divers requiring assisted respiration can be treated in a monoplace chamber, but they are better cared for in a multiplace chamber.
It is always important to locate the nearest treatment facility when
planning a dive trip, and be sure that the dive operation manager or
boat captain has a protocol for medical evacuation of an injured diver.
This information should be shared with the diving group.
Information about the nearest facility can be obtained by calling the Divers Alert Network. Divers are also advised to purchase insurance to provide funding for transportation and treatment of a diving injury.

Arguably the best known scientific Antarctic venture was the British Antarctic Expedition of 1911–1913 led by Captain Robert Falcon Scott. Whilst the so-called race to the geographic South Pole with Roald Amundsen's Norwegian Antarctic expedition excited international interest, the tragic death of Scott and his returning Polar Party was a striking reminder of the hazards of operating in the south. Recent work has highlighted the possible role expedition second-in-command Lieutenant Edward 'Teddy' Evans played in the deaths of Scott and his men. Here I report newly discovered documents which, when placed in a wider context, raise significant questions over Evans' behaviour during the expedition. The evidence focuses on the shortage of food at key depots, the apparently deliberate obfuscation of when Evans fell down with scurvy and the failure to pass on orders given by Scott. It is concluded that Evans actions on and off the ice can at best be described as ineffectual, at worst deliberate sabotage. Why Evans was not questioned more about these events on his return to England remains unknown.
The Last Glacial–Interglacial Transition (LGIT; 15,000–11,000 cal BP) was characterized by complex spatiotemporal patterns of climate change, with numerous studies requiring accurate chronological control to decipher leads from lags in global paleoclimatic, paleoenvironmental, and archaeological records. However, close scrutiny of the few available tree-ring chronologies and radiocarbon-dated sequences composing the IntCal13 14C calibration curve indicates significant weakness in 14C calibration across key periods of the LGIT. Here, we present a decadally resolved atmospheric 14C record derived from New Zealand kauri spanning the Lateglacial from ~13,100–11,365 cal BP. Two floating kauri 14C time series, curve-matched to IntCal13, serve as a 14C backbone through the Younger Dryas. The floating Northern Hemisphere (NH) 14C data sets derived from the YD-B and Central European Lateglacial Master tree-ring series are matched against the new kauri data, forming a robust NH 14C time series to ~14,200 cal BP. Our results show that IntCal13 is questionable from ~12,200–11,900 cal BP and the ~10,400 BP 14C plateau is approximately 5 decades too short. The new kauri record and repositioned NH pine 14C series offer a refinement of the international 14C calibration curves IntCal13 and SHCal13, providing increased confidence in the correlation of global paleorecords.
While an interhemispheric offset in atmospheric radiocarbon levels from AD 1950–950 is now well established, its existence earlier in the Holocene is less clear, with some studies reporting globally uniform 14C levels while others finding Southern Hemisphere samples older by a few decades. In this paper, we present a method for wiggle-matching Southern Hemisphere data sets against Northern Hemisphere curves, using the Bayesian calibration program OxCal 4.1 with the Reservoir Offset function accommodating a potential interhemispheric offset. The accuracy and robustness of this approach is confirmed by wiggle-matching known-calendar age sequences of the Southern Hemisphere calibration curve SHCal04 against the Northern Hemisphere curve IntCal04. We also show that 5 of 9 Holocene Southern Hemisphere data sets are capable of yielding reliable offset information. Those data sets that are accurate and precise show that interhemispheric offset levels in the Early Holocene are similar to modern levels, confirming SHCal04 as the curve of choice for calibrating Southern Hemisphere samples.
Although high-sensitivity liquid scintillation (LS) spectroscopy is theoretically capable of producing finite radiocarbon ages in the 50,000- to 70,000-yr range, there is little evidence in the literature that meaningful dates in this time period have been obtained. The pressing need to undertake calibration beyond 26 kyr has resulted in the regular publication of 14C results in excess of 50 kyr, yet very little effort has been made to demonstrate their accuracy or precision. There is a paucity of systematic studies of the techniques required to produce reliable dates close to background and the methods needed to assess contamination from either in situ sources or laboratory handling and processing. We have studied the requirements for producing accurate and reliable dates beyond 50 kyr. Laboratory procedures include optimization of LS spectrometers to obtain low and stable non-14C background count rates, use of low-background counting vials, large benzene volumes, long counting times, and preconditioning of vacuum lines. We also discuss the need for multiple analyses of a suitable material containing no original 14C (background blank) and the application of an appropriate statistical model to compensate for variability in background contamination beyond counting statistics. Accurate and reproducible finite ages >60 kyr are indeed possible by high-sensitivity LS spectroscopy, but require corroborating background blank data to be defensible.
We present δ13C data from both bulk organic sediment samples and terrestrial plant macrofossils from five high-resolution sedimentary sequences from the United Kingdom from which extensive multiproxy data sets have been obtained. These span the last glacial-interglacial transition. Chronological control has been provided by radiocarbon dating and/or tephrochronology. The results demonstrate that significant shifts in bulk organic δ13C can be identified at key climatic transitions in most of the sites. The data are affected by site-specific influences that restrict their use as chronological markers. However, terrestrial plant macrofossil records are more consistent and reveal shifts that appear to be synchronous and which therefore offer a basis for interregional correlation as well as significant paleoenvironmental information.
The best means for correcting Southern Hemisphere (SH) radiocarbon measurements, which are significantly influenced by temporal variations in the interhemispheric offset, is by the construction of a SH-specific calibration curve from dendrochronologically dated wood. We present here decadal 14C measurements on dendrochronologically secure New Zealand kauri (Agathis australis), covering the period 195 BC–AD 995, extending the range of calibration measurements from New Zealand tree rings to more than 2 millennia.
Recently published Tasmanian huon pine (Lagarostrobos franklinii) data for the interval 165 BC to AD 1095 measured at the Center for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (CAMS) have underestimated standard errors, which need to be re-assessed before the data can be considered for a Southern Hemisphere calibration curve update. The CAMS huon data, unlike the Waikato kauri data presented here, show a significant reduction in the SH offset for the interval AD 775–855. Although these data points are being checked, it is unlikely this represents a temporal geographic location-dependent offset. With re-assessed errors, the huon data set from 165 BC to AD 995 closely matches the new kauri data, with the combined data sets producing a mean interhemispheric offset with IntCal09 of 44 ± 17 yr for the time interval 195 BC–AD 1845. This SH offset is lower than the modeled offset of 55–58 yr used in the construction of SHCal04, and we recommend the lower value be used in future SHCal updates. Although there is an apparent increase in higher frequency events in the SH offset (NZ kauri plus Tasmanian huon) from 200 BC–AD 1000, the reason for this remains unclear.
It is well known that radiocarbon years do not directly equate to calendar time. As a result, considerable effort has been devoted to generating a decadally resolved calibration curve for the Holocene and latter part of the last termination. A calibration curve that can be unambiguously attributed to changes in atmospheric 14C content has not, however, been generated beyond 26 kyr cal BP, despite the urgent need to rigorously test climatic, environmental, and archaeological models. Here, we discuss the potential of New Zealand kauri (Agathis australis) to define the structure of the 14C calibration curve using annually resolved tree rings and thereby provide an absolute measure of atmospheric 14C. We report bidecadally sampled 14C measurements obtained from a floating 1050-yr chronology, demonstrating repeatable 14C measurements near the present limits of the dating method. The results indicate that considerable scope exists for a high-resolution 14C calibration curve back through OIS-3 using subfossil wood from this source.
Center for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (CAMS) Tasmanian Huon pine (Lagarostrobos franklinii) decadal measurements for the interval AD 745–855 suggest a mean interhemispheric radiocarbon offset (20 ± 5 yr), which is considerably lower than the previously reported mean interhemispheric offset for the last 2 millennia (44 ± 17 yr). However, comparable University of Waikato (Wk) New Zealand kauri (Agathis australis) measurements show significantly higher values (56 ± 6 yr), suggesting the possibility of a temporary geographic (intrahemispheric) offset between Tasmania, Australia, and Northland, New Zealand, during at least 1 common time interval. Here, we report 9 new Wk Tasmanian Huon pine measurements from the decades showing the largest Huon/kauri difference. We show statistically indistinguishable Wk Huon and Wk kauri 14C ages, thus dispelling the suggestion of a 14C geographic offset between Tasmania and Northland.
Wc describe here the New Zealand kauri (Agathis australis) Younger Dryas (YD) research project, which aims to undertake Δ14C analysis of ∼140 decadal floating wood samples spanning the time interval ∼13.1–11.7 kyr cal BP. We report 14C intercomparison measurements being undertaken by the carbon dating laboratories at University of Waikato (Wk), University of California at Irvine (UCI), and University of Oxford (OxA). The Wk, UCI, and OxA laboratories show very good agreement with an interlaboratory comparison of 12 successive decadal kauri samples (average offsets from consensus values of –7 to +4 14C yr). A University of Waikato/University of Heidelberg (HD) intercomparison involving measurement of the YD-age Swiss larch tree Ollon505, shows a HD/Wk offset of ∼10–20 14C yr (HD younger), and strong evidence that the positioning of the Ollon505 series is incorrect, with a recommendation that the 14C analyses be removed from the IntCal calibration database.
The arrival of iceberg B09B in Commonwealth Bay, East Antarctica, and subsequent fast ice expansion has dramatically increased the distance Adélie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) breeding at Cape Denison must travel in search of food. This has provided a natural experiment to investigate the impact of iceberg stranding events and sea ice expansion along the East Antarctic coast. As part of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition 2013–14, the Adélie penguin colony at Cape Denison was censused to compare to historic counts. Whilst some 5520 pairs still bred at Cape Denison there has been an order of magnitude decline in Adélie numbers in the area in comparison to the first counts a century ago and, critically, recent estimates based on satellite images and a census in 1997. In contrast, an Adélie population on the eastern fringe of Commonwealth Bay just 8 km from the fast ice edge was thriving, indicating the arrival of B09B and fast ice expansion was probably responsible for the observed recent population decline. In conclusion, the Cape Denison population could be extirpated within 20 years unless B09B relocates or the now perennial fast ice within the bay breaks out. Our results have important implications for wider East Antarctic if the current increasing sea ice trend continues.
Since the 1970s it has been recognised that Southern Hemisphere samples have a lower radiocarbon content than contemporaneous material in the Northern Hemisphere. This interhemispheric radiocarbon offset has traditionally been considered to be the result of a greater surface area in the southern ocean and high-latitude deepwater formation. This is despite the fact that the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is known to play a significant role in controlling the interannual variability of atmospheric carbon dioxide by changing the flux of 'old' CO2 from the tropical Pacific. Here we demonstrate that over the past millennium, the Southern Hemisphere radiocarbon offset is characterised by a pervasive 80-yr cycle with a step shift in mean values coinciding with the transition from the Medieval Warm Period to the Little Ice Age. The observed changes suggest an ENSO-like role in influencing the interhemispheric radiocarbon difference, most probably modulated by the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation, and supports a tropical role in forcing centennial-scale global climate change.
Lithology, pollen, macrofossils, and stable carbon isotopes from an intermontane basin bog site in southern New Zealand provide a detailed late-glacial and early Holocene vegetation and climate record. Glacial retreat occurred before 17,000 cal yr B.P., and tundra-like grassland"shrubland occupied the basin shortly after. Between 16,500 and 14,600 cal yr B.P., a minor regional expansion of forest patches occurred in response to warming, but the basin remained in shrubland. Forest retreated between 14,600 and 13,600 cal yr B.P., at about the time of the Antarctic Cold Reversal. At 13,600 cal yr B.P., a steady progression from shrubland to tall podocarp forest began as the climate ameliorated. Tall, temperate podocarp trees replaced stress-tolerant shrubs and trees between 12,800 and 11,300 cal yr B.P., indicating sustained warming during the Younger Dryas Chronozone (YDC). Stable isotopes suggest increasing atmospheric humidity from 11,800 to 9300 cal yr B.P. Mild (annual temperatures at least 1°C higher than present), and moist conditions prevailed from 11,000 to 10,350 cal yr B.P. Cooler, more variable conditions followed, and podocarp forest was completely replaced by montane Nothofagus forest at around 7500 cal yr B.P. with the onset of the modern climate regime. The Cass Basin late-glacial climate record closely matches the Antarctic ice core records and is in approximate antiphase with the North Atlantic.
New dating confirms that people occupied the Australian continent before the earliest time inferred from conventional radiocarbon analysis. Many of the new ages were obtained by accelerator mass spectrometry 14C dating after an acid–base–acid pretreatment with bulk combustion (ABA-BC) or after a newly developed acid–base–wet oxidation pretreatment with stepped combustion (ABOX-SC). The samples (charcoal) came from the earliest occupation levels of the Devil's Lair site in southwestern Western Australia. Initial occupation of this site was previously dated 35,000 14C yr B.P. Whereas the ABA-BC ages are indistinguishable from background beyond 42,000 14C yr B.P., the ABOX-SC ages are in stratigraphic order to ∼55,000 14C yr B.P. The ABOX-SC chronology suggests that people were in the area by 48,000 cal yr B.P. Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), electron spin resonance (ESR) ages, U-series dating of flowstones, and 14C dating of emu eggshell carbonate are in agreement with the ABOX-SC 14C chronology. These results, based on four independent techniques, reinforce arguments for early colonization of the Australian continent.
AMS radiocarbon dates were obtained from Salix herbacea leaves, Carex seeds, and bulk organic detritus from a lake sediment profile of Wisconsinan (Weichselian) Lateglacial age in SW Ireland. There is a systematic age difference between the dated series from the two types of macrofossils, with ages obtained from Salix herbacea leaves being 900 to 1500 14C years younger than those obtained from Carex seeds. The latter tend to be more in accord with dates from the total organic detritus in the lake sediment, although the bulk organic fraction invariably registered the older ages. Intact survival of the fragile Salix leaves indicates that they are unlikely to have been physically transferred within the sediment matrix and/or otherwise reworked from the surrounding catchment. Hence, these macrofossils are the more likely to be contemporaneous with the time of deposition. However, there is no significant correlation between measured 14C age and depth in the Salix values, which scatter over a range of 700 14C years. In contrast, the age/depth relationship for Carex shows a significant reversal, possibly reflecting the redeposition of these macrofossils, and therefore giving radiocarbon ages that are anomalously old. The data have important implications for the dating of lake sediment sequences by AMS radiocarbon measurement of terrestrial plant macrofossils.

Construction starts for new Mascot HQ
2.11.2015 | A week after Saint Gobain's logistics centre, Logstar, won the Randers Municipality Architecture Award, construction starts on the new combined HQ and logistics centre for Danish Workwear giant Mascot International on the motorway between Silkeborg and Herning.
The new 27,000 m² (10,000 m² administration and 17,000 m² highbay storage/logistics) domicile brings together Mascot International's Danish activities in a building, which emerges from the terrain as a dynamic, tapered shad with a transparent main façade facing the motorway.
Passers-by will be able to see the inner activities, the offices, the auditorium, gymnasium and at the very top a roof garden and canteen with a panoramic view of the area. All facilities are placed around an atrium, cutting down through the building and creating a common platform for the internal workflow involving all the different branches of the company - a bright, open and dynamic environment.
In front of the main façade, a terraced garden with water pools will be laid out, collecting rainwater, reflecting the building and underlining the main entrance.
The HQ is designed by C.F. Møller Architects and C.F. Møller Landscape in collaboration with engineers Midtconsult for Mascot International A/S, and is expected to complete in 2017.

Hi, I'm Lisa from the blog Geordie Nails! I'm currently trying to get healthier by losing 20lb and this is just a little diary to help me along the way. Readers are very welcome but not expected :-)
Thursday, 9 January 2014
OK, I forgot how absolutely delicious Yo Sushi is! They're doing a promotion until 24th January where tons of dishes are £2.50, so I went there today with a friend to take advantage whilst sticking to my diet ;-)
I had tuna sashimi, salmon sashimi, a salmon and avocado hand roll, vegetable gyoza and doriyaki pancakes - 5 beautiful plates, all adding up to less than 600 calories, washed down with plenty of green tea. They had nutritional information for everything which was beyond useful.
I hope I can go again before the offer ends because this kind of food makes dieting positively joyful <3
