Recently by Joseph Mercola: Eight Foods You Should Almost Never, EverEat
In the article linked below, Fleetwood Mac star Stevie Nicks discusses the biggest mistake she says she ever made giving in to her friends and going to see a psychiatrist. He put her on the drug Klonopin, and the next eight years of her life were destroyed.
According to Nicks, if she didn't take it, her hands started to shake. She gained weight and felt as if she had a neurological disease.
As reported in the Daily Beast, Nicks said:
"Finally, in 1993, I'd had enough. I said, 'Take me to a hospital.' I went in for 47 days, and it made Betty Ford look like a cakewalk. My hair turned gray and my skin molted. I could hardly walk. You can detox off heroin in 12 days. Coke is just a mental detox. But tranquilizers they are dangerous. I was terrified to leave, and I came away knowing that that would never happen to me again."
Dr. Mercola's Comments:
Like many of you I am sure, I enjoyed listening to Fleetwood Mac in the 70s and it was quite a surprise to read Stevie Nick's story.
It's been repeatedly demonstrated that prescription drugs can, and frequently do, pose SERIOUS risks to your health. In this case, Fleetwood Mac star Stevie Nicks ended up battling the devastating side effects of a drug she probably didn't need in the first place, and it swallowed eight years of her life.
Although many fail to realize this, prescription drugs can be just as addictive as illegal drugs. In fact, in many cases there's no difference between a street drug and a prescription drug. For example, hydrocodone, a prescription opiate, is synthetic heroin. It's indistinguishable from any other heroine as far as your brain and body is concerned. So, if you're hooked on hydrocodone, you are in fact a good-old-fashioned heroin addict.
Unfortunately, not a lot of attention is paid to prescription drug abuse. Still, nearly 20 percent of Americans admit to having used prescription drugs for nonmedical reasons, and three quarters of those may be abusing prescription drugs.
Insane Drug Use Statistics and the Danger of Polypharmacy
There's no doubt that the US has been manipulated into a nation of drug users. In just a ten-year span, from 1992 to 2002, the number of prescriptions written increased by a whopping 61 percent. And in that same period, the number of prescriptions written for opiates increased by almost 400 percent.
According to the latest statistics from the Kaiser Health Foundation, the average American, aged 19 to 64, now takes more than 11 prescription drugs!
This brings up yet another problem, which is the exponentially increased health risk of mixing multiple drugs. The word 'polypharmacy' means "many drugs," and essentially refers to instances where an individual is taking too many drugs either because more drugs are prescribed than clinically indicated, or when the sheer number of pills simply becomes a burden for the patient.
This situation used to be primarily a concern for the elderly, who generally take more medicines than younger folk in the US, the average senior fills more than 31 prescriptions per year. But over the past several years, even children as young as three are increasingly being prescribed four or more drugs!
This is a significant problem, as the more drugs you mix together, the greater the chances of serious side effects. People (of all ages) taking psychiatric drugs appear to be particularly prone to polypharmacy, which is particularly disturbing since each and every one of these drugs are quite potent and potentially dangerous when taken all by itself.
The Incredible Cost of Polypharmacy
Prescription drug abuse and overuse not only wreak havoc on the health, well-being, and longevity of the American population, it also has a major impact on our health care system, and it's NOT a beneficial one.
In fact, drug use accounts for tens of billions of dollars per year in health care costs. Let me explain that's tens of billions of dollars to treat the side effects of drug use, IN ADDITION TO the close to one TRILLION dollars those same drugs cost our health care system in the first place!
So the idea that "more and better drugs" are the answer to our nation's failing health is "misguided" to say the least…
When the Treatment is Worse than the Original Problem
Sadly, there are literally millions of people who, like Stevie Nicks, suffer the ravaging side effects of drugs they didn't need in the first place drugs that were supposed to "help" them in some way, but in reality cause problems far worse than the original concern.
For example, knowing how hard it can be to quit drugs like heroin, it's shocking to hear Nicks' description of her ordeal in detoxing from Klonopin; an anti-anxiety medication:
"I went in for 47 days, and it made Betty Ford look like a cakewalk. My hair turned gray and my skin molted. I could hardly walk. You can detox off heroin in 12 days. Coke is just a mental detox. But tranquilizers they are dangerous. I was terrified to leave, and I came away knowing that that would never happen to me again."
It's time to wake up from our collective slumber and cease to fall prey to this predatory type of "health care."
You are Responsible for Your Health
It's unfortunate, but you, as a patient, carry the greatest burden when it comes to changing the current drug paradigm. I don't think we'll see doctors changing their prescribing ways anytime soon it's what they're trained to do. In many cases, it's ALL they do! So as a patient, you have to take responsibility for your health, and question the drugs prescribed to you.
- Do you really need that drug?
- Is it prescribed appropriately, or is it being prescribed for an off-label use?
- What are the side effects?
- Is it addictive?
These are but a few of the most common-sense questions you need to ask before you swallow any pill.
In the case of Stevie Nicks, the health problems she experienced were par the course for that drug. Klonopin (Clonazepam) is an anti-seizure, anti-anxiety medication that works by decreasing electrical activity in your brain. It's in the same family of drugs as valium and xanax well-known tranquilizers. (Ironically, it's also used to treat acute catatonic states, when a person does not speak or move at all.)
Side effects include:
Drowsiness Dizziness, unsteadiness, and problems with coordination Difficulty thinking or remembering Muscle or joint pain Blurred vision Changes in sex drive, reduced sexual function Addiction Fetal harm; birth defects Changes in mental health, including thoughts of suicide
Withdrawal symptoms include new or worsening seizures, hallucinations, uncontrollable shaking and changes in behavior.
Prescription Drugs Cause More Deaths than Illegal Drugs
In addition to exorbitant health care costs for drugs and their subsequent side effects, the cost in terms of lives has also skyrocketed.
Opioid painkillers alone opium-like drugs that include morphine and codeine now claim more than 13,800 lives each year. This means prescription painkillers have surpassed both heroin and cocaine as the leading cause of fatal overdoses, despite the fact that the FDA increased the restrictions for consumer drug ads in 2005, especially for COX-2 painkillers like Celebrex and Bextra.
Additionally, more than 700,000 people visit U.S. emergency rooms each year as a result of adverse drug reactions. And, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), adverse drug reactions from drugs that are properly prescribed and properly administered cause about 106,000 deaths per year, making prescription drugs the fourth-leading cause of death in the U.S.
When you compare these statistics to the death toll from illegal drugs which is about 10,000 per year you can begin to see the magnitude of the problem the pharmaceutical industry is propagating.
A Very Real Side Effect: a 25 Percent Chance of Premature Death
Three years ago, an analysis of federal data by the nonprofit Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) offered up some truly shocking information. In the first quarter of 2008, fatalities from adverse drug reactions accounted for 23 percent of all adverse reaction reports!
If that's not a wakeup call, I don't know what is.
Naturally, some drugs are far riskier than others. Chantix, for example, accounts for more adverse reaction reports, including deaths, than the ten best-selling brand name drugs combined! It even out-harms the addictive troublemaker oxycodone, a potent pain medication.
The greatest travesty here though is that Chantix is actually intended for use in healthy people to help them quit smoking! If that's not insane, I don't know what is…
There are NO Absolutely Safe Drugs
A clear majority of people have been successfully brainwashed into thinking that FDA-approved drugs can safely and effectively treat every possible ailment under the sun. This is a tragedy of epic proportions. But it's not too late to turn this madness around.
First and foremost, you must understand that even under the BEST circumstances such as with a drug that has gone through unbiased, stringent, long-term testing anything can happen when a drug is released into the uncontrolled environment of your individual body. It may interact badly with another drug you're taking, or perhaps a food you eat causes an unforeseen reaction, or maybe your genetic makeup, metabolism or the state of your immune system will cause it to have an unpredictable impact.
Unfortunately, studies are frequently biased, results are skewed, and drugs are put on a fast-track to be approved long before anyone knows whether they're safe. In essence, it's all a gamble, and there are NO 100 percent safe drugs.
Should You Medicate or Not?
Ultimately, it's your body, and the decision to medicate yourself for an ailment is yours alone.
However, I urge you to research any drug your doctor prescribes before you take it. Do not just take your doctor's word for its safety. Most physicians have little information to offer you aside from what they've been told by their drug reps.
Make sure you are aware of the potential side effects of the drug, read the package insert, and remember that even if it lists a side effect as rare, it can still happen to you.
Then decide whether the potential benefits truly outweigh the potential risks.
Also remember that a large number of drugs are vastly over-prescribed and unnecessary. They're frequently referred to as "blockbuster drugs." If several people you know are on it, it's a dead giveaway that it's probably being over-prescribed, which means you should be even more cautious not less!
Redefine the Word "Health"
What does "health" mean to you? Does your idea of being healthy include taking a dozen medications or more?
I certainly hope not…
If you make drugs a last option instead of a first choice, you will have taken a major step in the right direction.
"Health" does NOT equate to "suppressing symptoms of disease." Rather, true health means having a body that actually functions as it should… And the only way to get there is by addressing the root causes of any symptoms of disease you may have not covering them up with a drug.
The "problem" with this mindset, however, is that the medical- and pharmaceutical industries can't make any money through this strategy. If you get rid of the underlying cause of a disease, you effectively cure it and all symptoms go away. If you have no symptoms, there's no reason to take medications to suppress those symptoms.
This may sound obvious to some, but believe me, many people still don't "get" this.
They take drugs in the belief that they're doing something beneficial to their health when in fact there's not a single drug on the market that is designed to cure anything. The only thing a drug can do is address a particular symptom or set of symptoms. And, if you don't address the root cause, your problem never goes away!
This is how you get stuck in the mindless never ending loop of polypharmacy.
Basic Health Strategies that Can Address a Large Number of Health Problems
There are many health conditions that can be prevented or effectively treated with lifestyle changes alone, yet if you go to a typical doctor, you'll walk out with one or more prescriptions. Examples of health problems that typically don't require drug intervention include:
I realize it may require a massive shift in thinking to realize that your body can heal itself, and that drugs typically only hinder the process. But I can't stress enough the importance of this most basic principle:
Disease can only be resolved by addressing its root cause.
What many people fail to realize is that it is possible to maintain optimal health by simply avoiding unnecessary drugs and by understanding the fundamentals of good nutrition and exercise.

Painted gourd mini me house.
Michele, my niece, painted this gourd for me for Christmas. Can you believe? Isn't it cute? It's a "sorta" painting of my house, a Cape Cod that is pale yellow with pink doors and shutters.
Why do I take pictures with everything in the background. It's hard finding a place in this house where there is nothing in the background. I like stuff. That's why. :)

I think Gourds are so sweet when done up in different styles. How sweet is this one? Just adorable.ReplyDelete
That is the cutest thing. I can't paint on paper so I can't imagine painting a gourd with all those curves. And, I like that you have "stuff" in your pictures.ReplyDelete
Super cute! And stuff in the background, I know all about it.ReplyDelete

She was in charge of the basket, and we filled the bottom up! I just forgot to take a picture of all the peaches we picked after. Oh well!
Even though we had just woken up and we were grimin' in all of our morning glory, I needed to snap a quick shot of me, dad and Kristen all sporting out 'The Pier' shirts. *Apparently they're vintage, because it's now called 'The Gnarly Gar'. Glad we got our shirts when we did.
I liked the first name much better...
Now that we had all picked a few peaches, including Daisy, we were ready to head back and enjoy them!

I wish you could tell us a bit about the women you're featuring. I love that grey outfit!
I love everything about this! The woman, the hat, the suit, the pose, and the background. And the colors!
I agree with the previous poster. A few words about your wonderful subjects would be nice.
What a fantastic picture. Is that a leather skirt?
What Phoebes in Santa Fe said x2. I'd love to know more about the women, what they where, why you chose them on this particular day …
I saw this photo and thought of a James Bond Beauty, only in the 50+ category. I'm no fan of gray, but this lovely lady pulls it off beautifully. What a great presentation. I like this gal, without even meeting her.
this blog has made me so inspired to wear more hats
Love her cool attitude!
Hello Cohen! My name is Nivea Oliveira, I'm writer. I would like ask you if is possibile do the same work in Brazil, in the future. I think if we try create news picture of women from another culture is a big experience. We can do a book of differencies. Think about this!
Congratulations! Have a nice week end!
Nivea Oliveira – firstname.lastname@example.com
You know, I love all the women you photograph and portray on your blog, but I have to say, Chuchi stopped me in my tracks. I think it's the simplicity of her clothes, her attitude, the hat, of course, and her lack of jewelry or other adornments–yet she still projects such style, elegance, and grace. I don't know what it is about this woman, but she represents the look I strive for every day.
Love the monochrome…and that hat!

Welcome to the home page of the Royal Danish Embassy in Bangkok.
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the website of the Royal Danish Embassy in Bangkok.
The main task for the Embassy is to maintain and strengthen the relationship between Denmark and Thailand. This task is mainly carried out through cooperation with the Government, organisations and private enterprises and through cultural activities that promote the good relationship between Danes and Thais.
Likewise, the Embassy in Bangkok handles relations between Denmark and Cambodia.
The relationship between Denmark and Thailand is traditionally close, and the Embassy consistently seeks to enhance it further. We work for stronger cultural relations between Denmark and Thailand. And, as there are many Danes who travel to or live in Thailand, and many Thais who travel to or live Denmark, we provide extensive consular services to both Danish and Thai citizens.
We also promote trade and economic relations and assist companies who want to do business in Denmark or Thailand. There is a rich and fruitful commercial relationship between Thailand and Denmark - not only in trade and tourism, but also with regard to investment. More than a hundred Danish companies are present here and have created many thousand jobs in the country. Welcoming the good framework conditions for foreign investment, it is my ambition to work hard for a further deepening of the commercial cooperation between the private sectors of Thailand and Denmark in favour of both countries.
Our website provides an overview of the activities carried out by the Embassy; you can also find information about the opportunities for doing business in Denmark and Thailand. Furthermore, you will find detailed descriptions of the consular services offered to Danes and Thais.
It is my sincere hope that our website will meet your need for information, but if you have any requests that are not covered you are welcome to contact the Embassy. You may use the available list of our staff and their responsibilities.

« Hide More detailed introduction
The RAS proteins (HRAS, NRAS and KRAS) are small membrane-localised G protein-like molecules of 21 kd. They act as an on/off switch linking receptor and non-receptor tyrosine kinase activation to downstream cytoplasmic or nuclear events. Binding of GTP activates the switch, and hydrolysis of the GTP to GDP inactivates the switch.
The RAS proto-oncogenes are the most frequently mutated class of proteins in human cancers. Common mutations compromise the GTP-hydrolysing ability of the proteins causing constitutive activation [3], which leads to increased cell proliferation and decreased apoptosis [4]. Because of their importance in oncogenic transformation these proteins have become the targets of intense drug discovery effort [1].

Armadale sheep thieves warned over vaccine
Three sheep stolen from a field in West Lothian are not fit for human consumption due to high levels of vaccine, police have warned.
The theft happened between 12-14 November at a field in Armadale known locally as Minefield.
Three ewes, which are Charollais and Black Face cross breeds, were taken from the farmland between the north end of Bridgecastle Road and Woodbank Farm.
They have brown freckled faces and orange dye markings on their shoulders.
All three also had ear tags with the ID number UK542859.
A Lothian and Borders Police spokesman said: "The farmer is, quite rightly, distraught at the theft of his sheep, and police would urge anyone with information that can help trace those responsible to come forward.
"The ewes were inoculated for worms in October and as such, will have high levels of the vaccination in their system. Their meat is, therefore, not fit for human consumption.
"A fairly large vehicle would be required to transport the animals and members of the public who remember seeing any suspicious activity in or around the farm in the past few weeks should contact police immediately."

Posted on 27 May 2010
Liberty Mutual Group Inc. has emerged as a possible acquirer of Quinn Insurance Ltd., the Irish property/casualty insurer that has been placed in administration by the High Court in Dublin.
John Cusolito, a Liberty Mutual spokesman at the company's headquarters in Boston, would only say the company's "public comment regarding Quinn Insurance is that we have expressed our interest to the administrators."
The Dublin office of international accounting firm Grant Thornton has been named administrator of Quinn Insurance.
"We have received a substantial number of expressions of interest [in Quinn Insurance]," said Michael McAteer, a partner in Grant Thornton. "We're not commenting on who's in there, who's not in there."
The Irish Financial Regulator had sought the administration order to protect what it said were the interests of policyholders.
The problems of Quinn Insurance have been linked to large debts to Anglo Irish Bank, which has been taken over by the Irish government. Problems within the bank have been blamed largely on the downturn in the Irish housing market.
The appointment of Grant Thornton was made under terms of Ireland's 1983 Insurance Act, McAteer said.
Grant Thornton, McAteer said, has announced a 15-month job reduction program for Quinn Insurance that will cut its work force of 2,474 by 900. He estimated the insurer's share of the Irish household and motor market at about 20%. He put the company's market share in Britain, apart from Northern Ireland, at about 2.5%. Quinn Life, which is separate from Quinn Insurance, has not been affected by the administration order.
"We are charged with taking control and managing the business as a going concern and returning the company to a sound financial footing," McAteer told BestWire.
Grant Thornton, McAteer added, is gathering information for the regulator on the possible sale of Quinn Insurance. He expects the regulator to appoint a merchant bank to guide the deal. "That process will kickstart in the very near future," McAteer said.
The administrator's role will end, McAteer said, when it believes "the investment puts the company on a sound financial footing. That is in such things as solvency, balance sheet, access to capital, etc."
In reducing employment at Quinn Insurance, McAteer said, the administrator is looking at "resizing the business to more correctly align itself to the level of business that we're writing."
All seven of the insurer's locations will be affected by the job cuts, McAteer said. These are in Enniskillen, in Northern Ireland; Manchester and London, in England; and Cavan, Navan and two locations in Dublin, all in the Irish Republic.
"We are now looking to the next stage, which would be the more longer term future of Quinn Insurance Ltd.," McAteer said.
The aim of the Irish statute is to protect the policyholders, McAteer said. This is in contrast to U.K. law, which focuses on questions of insolvency, he added.
The administrator, which has the power to sell the business and its assets, is answerable to the High Court rather than the Financial Regulator, McAteer said. The process, he noted, does not have a timetable. "It takes as long as it will take," he said.
Grant Thornton's initial concentration, McAteer said, was on such day-to-day operational issues as providing information to the Irish regulator regarding its decision to ban Quinn from the U.K. market. Quinn, which was never forced to stop operating in the Irish market, has been permitted to return, in stages, to the U.K. motor market.
"We've now sent a business plan [to the regulator] in relation to commercial," McAteer said.
This is the fourth time the provisions of the 1983 Irish legislation have been invoked, McAteer said. The first, in 1983, involved the rescue of the Private Motorists Protection Association, which dominated Ireland's motor insurance market. It was PMPA's plight, McAteer said, that caused the legislation to be rushed through. In 1985, an administrator was called in after the failure of the Insurance Corp. of Ireland, better known as ICI.
The 1983 legislation established a central fund that was supported by a 3% levy on insurance premiums, McAteer said. The fund was designed to protect insurance customers in case of insolvency, he added.
While PMPA and ICI were "wholly insolvent," McAteer said, there is a strong possibility that Quinn Insurance is solvent. "But in the event that it wasn't solvent, we would have access to the fund," he said.
Joe Plumeri, chairman and chief executive of Willis Group, expressed concern at the problems facing Quinn Insurance during a recent visit to London to attend the annual conference of the British Insurance Brokers Association.
"We're keeping a close eye on the fate of the Quinn Group," Plumeri told the conference. "It's the story of an Irish empire born from Sean Quinn leaving school at age 14 to haul gravel from his family farm. It's become one of Ireland's largest employers. But now it's headed into bankruptcy and 1,000 of the 2,400 work force at Quinn Insurance might soon lose their jobs."
McAteer said Quinn Insurance's effective presence in three jurisdictions -- the Irish Republic, Northern Ireland and Britain -- has not complicated Grant Thornton's task unduly.
"The company was very much integrated in its approach," McAteer said, noting the head office in Enniskillen was responsible for the entire business, while claims were processed in Manchester, Cavan, Navan and Dublin.
The possession by Quinn Insurance of a passport to operate throughout the 27-member European Union would be an attraction to a potential acquirer, McAteer said. Another plus, he said, is the location of many of the operations in low-cost environments rather than in Dublin, which is expensive. The company has also invested in broadband infrastructure, which could accommodate expansion, he said.

When speaking about a woman, saying "she has a great personality" is interpreted as "she's ugly". It's a weak compliment, and it's weak because there isn't much else to compliment. The baseball equivalent is to laud a player by saying that his contributions don't show up in the box score, for they are intangible (and thus can never be disproven). David Eckstein can barely hit the ball out of the infield, but he's gritty and scrappy and has heart.
Baseball traditionalists use stats to compliment a player truly worthy of praise. Hank Aaron's 755 career home runs; Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak; Cal Ripken's 2,632 consecutive games played, etc. are prominent examples. Even if one is completely ignorant of Sabermetrics, people still default to numbers, which makes the praise of a player's intangibles all the more transparent. If a player is good, his numbers are cited. If his numbers aren't brought up, then he probably wasn't that good.
John Finger of CSNPhilly.com recently wrote an article praising Polanco, saying that his contributions can't be found in stat form. It's amusing because Polanco is not in need of the assistance. He's been a second baseman with a career .761 OPS. Not exactly Chase Utley numbers, but he's been about average offensively at a premium defensive position. He also happens to have been a very, very good fielder at second base.
This is not David Eckstein we're talking about, he of the career .358 slugging percentage; he of the noodle arm who must muster all of the strength in his body to toss the ball to first base.
This is Placido Polanco. Among second basemen in the 2000's, there have been just 20 player-seasons in which a player has racked up 500 or more plate appearances and struck out 46 or fewer times. Polanco is responsible for six of them (30%). Three of the top-five slugging percentages belong to him. He doesn't strike out much and can hit for some power (despite being quoted as saying he can't in Finger's article).
At second base, where he has racked up nearly 8,500 innings, his UZR/150 is at an even 10.0, meaning that for every 150 opportunities, Polanco will make ten more plays than the average second baseman. At third base, a position he hasn't played regularly since 2002, he has a 9.9 UZR/150.
As for base running, Baseball Prospectus thinks he's been a boon as well. Using EqBRR (definition), he's been at 1.3, 3.0, and 0.8 over the last three years. Pedro Feliz, on the other hand, was at -5.6 and -0.7 in 2009 and '08 with the Phillies.
Bringing it all together, FanGraphs values him at 28 Wins Above Replacement (WAR) since 2002, an average of about 3.5 WAR per season. In that span of time, he's been worth $100 million ($12.5 million per season) and been paid a meager $31.6 million (about $4 million per season). On average, Polanco has been worth about three times as much as he's been paid, meaning that the Phillies and Tigers have really gotten their money's worth with him.
Among all second baseman over the past three years, only Chase Utley (23.6 WAR), Dustin Pedroia (15.7), and Brian Roberts (12.5) have been more valuable than Polanco (11.4).
Finger writes, "there's just something the grizzled baseball men see in Polanco that defies measurement."
This is insulting to Polanco! The numbers beautify his contributions on the baseball field. No, he's not the "three true outcomes" basher that have been popularized by Sabermetrics, like Adam Dunn. However, would a "grizzled baseball man" claim that Polanco was more valuable than both Ryan Zimmerman and Jose Reyes in 2007? More valuable than Carl Crawford and Derek Jeter in '05?
It's true that there may be some facets of Polanco's game that aren't quantified on Baseball Reference or FanGraphs or Baseball Prospectus. I'm sure he's great in the clubhouse. However, to focus on those aspects instead of what is staring you right in the face — his average offense, his incredible defense at second base, his ability to run the bases intelligently — is to completely misunderstand and underestimate Polanco's value on the baseball field.
Polanco does not need the window dressing compliments reserved for the David Ecksteins of the baseball world. He's been good enough to throw his hat in the ring with the best in the game.
Despite being complimentary of Polanco here and admitting that GM Ruben Amaro signed Polanco for well under market value, I still remain a critic of the signing. I don't like signing an aging player to a multi-year deal to play a position he hasn't played regularly since 2002. I don't like paying $6 million on average for Polanco when Chone Figgins, who has more upside, was signed for $9 million on average.
To criticize the signing is not to criticize the player, however. We can say, at the same time, that the Phillies should not have signed the fourth-most valuable second baseman of the past three years to a below market contract. We can recognize Polanco's value while still being critical.
. . .
My first entry at Baseball Prospectus should be up at 9 AM EST today. Click here and it should be at the top at that time.
EDIT: Here it is.
I am currently working on Phillies previews for The Hardball Times and Baseball Daily Digest. Both should run at the end of the month. Additionally, ESPN is also asking for my input on the Phillies. Stay tuned for that. I'll provide appropriate links as they become available.

Jersey politicians vote to use crime funds to buy Plemont
The headland at Plemont will be bought by Jersey's government and the National Trust for Jersey.
Members agreed to spend £3.5m, taken from the criminal confiscation fund, to return the former Pontins site at Plemont back to nature.
The rest of the £7.1m will be paid by the National Trust for Jersey.
Charles Alluto, of the trust, said Plemont was a key part of the North Coast that all should enjoy.
There was a demonstration outside the states building by environmental campaigners, and many of them filled the public gallery for the debate.
The environment minister, Deputy Rob Duhamel, argued against the proposals, saying they were not value for money.
Other members were unhappy about Treasury Minister Senator Philip Ozouf's plan to get the money from a fund of seized criminal money.

NASA's newest Mars rover just landed on the alien planet early this morning, and guess what the first picture showed when the air bags deflated, a bunch of rocks!
Seriously, what were you or NASA expecting for that matter? The new rover, Curiosity is expected to search and find evidence of ancient life on Mars? I thought that was what Spirit and Opportunity had been doing for the past 10 years? Yes, maybe there might have been advanced life on Mars billion of years ago, maybe, but there is almost 10 years of video and photo evidence now that almost proves that Mars is a barren planet today.
The President just issued a statement that appeared on NASA's site, and basically he is saying what W said about 10 year ago when Spirit and Opportunity landed, "USA, USA, vote for me!"
Lets say that Curiosity finds a a human skeleton on Mars, would that make you want to go over there? If you are thinking yes, really? The fact that it is dead and the land is a desert tells me enough. I tuned in and watched all the NASA scientists jumping up and down like we just landed on the moon and I am not trying to belittle this momentous occasion, but seriously what were you expecting anything but a rocks from Curiosity's first picture.
Its not like they saw a Starbucks on Waikiki beach, not even an ancient mom and pop's VHS Shows 2 Go Rental shop which has gone extinct kind of like any advanced life on Mars and if Curiosity finds even microbial life all the scientists will bust one simultaneous load all over mission control, giving them another excuse to spend billions of dollars to go back again, and again, and say you know what we didn't check under that one rock and go again, but maybe that one rock is the key to unlocking the secrets of the universe, I don't know.
It is cool though that humans are controlling a robot on Mars, again, so when are humans going? NASA cannot wait to send some monkeys to mars, who is going to sign up, Arnold are you having another Total Recall? I know you want to go see that ooze packing, midget prostitute princess again, she'll have your eyes popping out just like in the good old days. I don't know about y'all but I would have popped that red pill and stayed banging a young Sharon Stone on good ole Earth. Mars is for the birds, if birds could survive on Mars, which they cannot.
Don't get me wrong I think it is fucking tight that Curiosity is on Mars, but after another decade on Mars and we don't find John Carter or even a skeleton of some ancient alien fish, (Oh old Giorgio's Tshcoocoo's head would explode if that happened, that dude on ancient aliens with that mad scientist hair, that dude is nuts or a genius, but I'm betting nuts) then is it really worth spending billions of dollars and risking lives to send humans to mars?
Honestly, we shouldn't worry about the risking lives part, because there are so many insanely crazy people on this Earth who would gladly sign up to go to Mars, hell 3/4 of them are in the military right now just waiting to either shoot themselves, or blow somebody up or go to Mars, which ever one comes first. Instead of the apparent desire for humans to infest another planet, we need to fight that urge and focus on Mother Earth because it is the only miracle life creating blue berry that is around for at least a light year and even if astrologers found another Earth type Planet which they won't, but if they did, how are we going to get there, OK a wormhole, with a flux capacitor Caravan, I still would not want to go. I'm just that dude, who people are like the storms coming we got to go, I'm good y'all go ahead and then watch them end up on the news. Hell, we all have to die sometime, somewhere, why not Mars?

A writ has been filed at an Accra High Court seeking to restrain Adama Latse from sprinkling the traditional Ga food Kpokpoi in his capacity as Ga Mantse.
The plaintiff, Nii Agyemankese II who is also a claimant to the Ga stool, insists the 1st defendant Nii Adama Latse is an "imposter" and must not be allowed to perform the traditional rites of the Ga people during the Homowo festival.
The suit filed on August 8, has six other defendants including David Tackie Commey Lomoko, Jonathan Tackie Commey Lomoko, Samuel Ago Lantei Lamptey.
The plaintiff wants the court to intervene in order to prevent a possible outbreak of violence on Saturday.
The Ga state is no stranger to chieftaincy violence with as many as four claimants fighting for recognition.
In February, the Ga king makers, Abolapiam installed one Nii Tackie Obli II as the new Ga Mantse, a move they hope will resolve the chieftaincy impasse that has lingered on for the past two decades.
His installation was the fourth. Nii Adama Latse and two others had, at previous occasions being installed Ga chiefs.
With the Homowo festival of the Ga state beckoning, the race for who will perform the Ga rites in the capacity as Ga Mantse has become intense with a possibility of violence.
Nii Agyemankese II is praying the court will place an interlocutory injunction on Nii Adama Latse and stop him from sprinkling the Kpokpoi which is the climax of the rites of the Ga people.
He is praying the court to stop the defendant from entering the Ga Paramount Stool House at Abola Tunma We to perform any rite.
The case will be heard on August 15, 2017.

The 2016 Advances in Stable Isotope Techniques and Applications Conference (ASITA) will be held at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, June 19-21, 2016.
The Academy of Natural Sciences (ANS) was founded in 1812 "for the encouragement and cultivation of the sciences and the advancement of useful learning." It is the oldest natural sciences institution in the Western Hemisphere. Over its 200+ year history it has organized many scientific expeditions and opened its door to the public in 1828 to share its collections. Today the ANS hosts a very popular natural sciences museum, as well as a active research and educational program around environmental themes through its affiliation with Drexel University.
The focus of the conference continues to be methodology advancements, technical challenges, and novel applications involving stable isotopes. This is an intimate conference which has been proven to be extremely useful to those who are involved in the day to day hands on measurements of stable isotopes. The conference has a reputation for being a lighthearted forum for discussing and solving technical challenges. We look forward to another great meeting, at a unique venue.
The conference will begin Saturday evening with an "Ice Breaker" get together.
Sunday will start with a half day of short courses focusing on basic isotope analysis, instrument operation and troubleshooting, and data manipulation. The main conference will begin Sunday afternoon with the first keynote speaker and oral presentations.
The remainder of the conference will feature oral and poster presentations, as well as break-out discussions on an assortment of topics including user sessions for specific instrumentation. Instrument users and vendors are encouraged to participate and present their work related to new techniques or application of stable isotopes. Please contact us to suggest discussion topics.
Philadelphia is a historic city with many unique attractions. Time permitting, we are planning to arrange some excursion options for Tuesday afternoon, but you may also want to plan to stay an additional day to take advantage of other things Philadelphia has to offer. Please check out the "Philadelphia Attractions" page for a short list of places to visit.
Please check back regularly as the website will be updated as soon as new information is available.

For years, some of nanotechnology's more enthusiastic boosters have talked about the possibility of "nanobots" coursing through our veins and ridding our bodies of artery-clogging plaques and malignant cancer cells. To help conjure up the possibilities of nanotechnology, the mainstream press often latches onto to the easily digestible -- and much more visually pleasing -- vision of Raquel Welch in Fantastic Voyage being miniaturized and injected into the bloodstream of a prominent scientist to melt a deadly blood clot.
At the risk of incurring the wrath of both nanobot and Raquel Welch fans alike, both scenarios are a ways off, I'm sorry to report. This is not to say that nanotechnology isn't going to play a role in addressing the likes of heart disease, blood clots, and cancer. It is. It's just that the reality is going to be much less sexy than a tiny Raquel Welch in a tight wetsuit going into our bodies.
Earlier this week, researchers at the University of California at Berkeley, announced that they had invented the "nanofluidic" transistor. The researchers went on to predict that just as the electronic transistor has become the main workhorse of microprocessors, the nanofluidic transistor will anchor the next generation of molecular processors.
Normally, I would simply file away an academic news release such as this because it's not close enough to commercial viability to warrant investor attention. I made an exception for this report in part because the lead researcher was Peidong Yang. Yang, in addition to his impressive academic credentials, also happens to be the scientific co-founder of Nanosys, which despite pulling its much-heralded IPO last summer remains one of the leading bellwether companies for nanotechnology and is a potential Rule Breaker.
The announcement also lends further credence to reports that Intel
Advances like the nanofluidic transistor, because it uses molecules to process information and can be manufactured using the same technology that produces today's integrated circuits, just might give patients an affordable and convenient way to access reams of valuable biomolecular information to improve their health.
In fact, the technology could potentially be so sensitive that someday soon it might be able to sense a single molecule. And that's nothing to sneeze at, especially if that molecule can offer a clue to help diagnose an impending heart attack, a wandering blood clot, or a growing tumor that much sooner.
Such an advance may lack the fantastic voyage-like quality that nanobot and Raquel Welch fans have long dreamed about, but it should be enough to keep investors dreaming about the world of new possibilities that nanotechnology promises.

Backstage at 'Talley's Folly'
Sarah Paulson plays Sally Talley in the Roundabout Theatre Company's revival of Lanford Wilson's "Talley's Folly." The play, which won the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 1980, tells the story of two loners (Paulson and Danny Burstein) whose survival depends on solitude, but who desperately want to be loved.
All photographs by Elizabeth Lippman for The Wall Street Journal
Paulson does her own makeup before each show. "That's what happens on Broadway, Off Broadway, and Off-Off Broadway. You do your own makeup," she says.
"I was very interested in playing a woman in self-imposed lockdown," she says of the role.
Paulson instructs her wig not to misbehave on stage.
"I don't think it works, so I'm going to stop doing that," she says.
On working with Burstein: "It's the greatest thing that ever happened to anyone, ever," she gushes. " You can trust him completely, that he's not going to go off and do something self-aggrandizing and leave you in the dust."

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation announced Friday the resumption of navigation at Kuwait International Airport after it was suspended earlier in the day due to low visibility caused by the sandstorm this afternoon.Navigation resumed after visibility restored to normal at 500 meters, Director of Operations Department at the airport Saleh Al-Fadaghi told KUNA. The Kuwait Meteorological Department expected on Thursday a cold air mass causing dust could hit the country this afternoon.
Earlier, Kuwait Ports Authority announced Friday the suspension of navigation at the Shuwaikh, Shueiba and Doha ports due to the low visibility caused by the sandstorm that hit the country today. Director of marine operations at the port of Shuwaikh Mousa Behbehani told KUNA that the suspension of the movement of vessels from and into the port was necessary to ensure the safety of workers. He pointed out that the wind speed exceeded 52 kmph and the visibility lowered to less than 100 meters. The navigation will resume once the weather improves, he said. Meanwhile, Acting Director of the Marine Operation at Shueiba Port Tawfiq Shehab told KUNA that the wind speed exceeded 40 kmph and the visibility lowered to less than half a mile.
Four vessels were denied access to the port and three others were prevented from leaving due to the bad weather, he said. The Ministry of Interior (MoI) has urged citizens and residents to keep a wary eye as Kuwait has been hit by bad weather and dusty storms as well as low visibility on some roads. "Citizens and residents are required to take precautions to protect themselves and their family members, to observe speed limits on roads and to use the safety belt in all conditions and circumstances in order to avoid collision effects," the ministry's security information said in a statement on Friday. The ministry also urged motorists to keep traffic flowing smoothly and to keep away from sites of accidents.
Meanwhile, meteorologist Issa Ramadan has warned of unstable weather during the next 48 hours. He said Kuwait will be hit by a cold spell beginning from Sunday which may last for 5 to 6 days, reports a local daily. He pointed to the possibility of more rain in March to compensate for what "we have lost in winter'. Ramadan pointed out the temperature will fall due to the passage of high polar air that will give rise to a cold wave beginning Sunday.
The speed of winds will be more than 50 kilometers per hour, with the possibility of dust storm in the evening. Ramadan said the temperatures will drop for six days and that Saturday and Sunday are expected to be the coldest. He predicted rainy 'season' will last until the beginning of May. Among the effects of the wave of sandstorm that hit the country yesterday evening, the strong wind caused the fall of tents at the heritage festival in Salmi area, and according to the Kuwait Fire Service Directorate, the incident at the heritage festival resulted in no human casualties, and that its personnel contained the area immediately.
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."
"Envy comes from wanting something that isn't yours. But grief comes from losing something you've already had."

Introduced by Michael Scott
One of the most influential classical histories, enhanced with magnificent full-page coin portraits. Introduced by Michael Scott.
Published price: US$ 92.95
The most complete history of one of the world's great empires, The Rise of Rome has influenced thinkers from Machiavelli to the Founding Fathers of the United States. It comprises five surviving books and two partial volumes from Polybius' Histories, an ambitious, and originally vast work that explained how Rome conquered all the known regions of the civilised world. A leading politician, Polybius was born in Arcadia, Greece, in 200 BC and died around 117 BC. As the historian and broadcaster Michael Scott says in his new preface, this made him 'an eyewitness to one of the greatest power shifts in Mediterranean history'.
Translated by Robin Waterfield.
Three-quarter bound in buckram with a Modigliani paper side printed with eagle (detail) from a marble statue of Emperor Claudius as Jupiter, Rome, 41-54 AD.
Set in Albertina with Garamond Titling display.
616 pages.
Frontispiece and 32 pages of colour plates.
Book size: 10" × 6¼".
Unlike that of other Roman historians, Polybius' work was firmly anchored in his own lifetime. In fact, his first books were written so soon after the events they described, that – widely read by Greek and Romans alike – they may even have influenced the course of Rome's ascension. Deported to Rome from his homeland after the Battle of Pydna in 168 BC, Polybius belonged to the vanquished. He adapted by forming friendships with powerful Romans, such as the general Scipio Aemilianus, alongside whom he witnessed the destruction of Carthage. Remarkably, he was also a trusted advisor to the Greeks as they reconstructed his homeland.
'A crucial window into the mindset of a world which is indelibly interlaced into the fabric of our modern global society'
The Rise of Rome opens with a summary of the First Punic War (264–244 BC), the 20-year battle between Rome and Carthage that marked the beginning of Rome's evolution from Republic to Empire and concluded with a subdued Carthage signing a peace treaty. The narrative begins in earnest in 220 BC, with the second clash between the two powers underway – the Carthaginians led by the tenacious Hannibal. The Romans gained control of the Western Mediterranean and moved east to conquer Greece. Polybius concludes with the destruction of Corinth in 146 BC, the year in which Carthage was finally obliterated. Mixing biography, ethnography, geography, historical narrative, and political and military analysis, The Rise of Rome is a fascinating meditation on how to govern and how to learn from history. This edition includes photographs, specially commissioned from the British Museum, of coins bearing portraits of prominent figures, such as Philip V of Macedon, and Marcus Claudius Marcellus, consul of the Roman Republic and military leader during the Second Punic War.
Polybius (c.200–c.118 bc), son of Lycortas of Megalopolis, hipparch of the Achaean Confederacy in the 180s, was a statesman, soldier, explorer and historian. He served as a politician in the Confederacy until the Roman victory over Macedon in 168, after which he was exiled to Rome for seventeen years. He became part of the Scipionic Circle and travelled to Spain and Africa, returning to Italy in Hannibal's footsteps over the Alps. He was present at the destruction of Carthage in 146 and travelled extensively around the Mediterranean. He allegedly died, aged 82, following a fall from a horse. His early works are no longer extant but, of the forty books on Rome's rise and rule in 220–146 bc, his Histories, five survive in full and there are extensive excerpts from many others including Books Six and Twelve.

Victor Cui continues to push ONE FC into the forefront in not only Asia, but the entire MMA world. Cui is the CEO/owner of the promotion that is based out of Singapore and has already 14 shows since debuting in 2011.
Next up for the promotion is expansion, as Cui wants to make ONE FC bigger and better.
"Our shows have definitely gotten bigger and the media support has also increased phenomenally," said Cui, during an interview with FightLine. "Currently, we are the only sporting event in Asia that continually sells out stadiums where we go because of our world-class, Vegas-style production.
"We are the No. 1 rated show in the Philippines and we are the biggest show in Asia on Star Sports. The growth in the response to our events has been amazing."
ONE FC has crowned champions in four weight classes, including Bibiano Fernandes at bantamweight. Nobutatsu Suzuki is the welterweight champion, Shinya Aoki the lightweight titleholder and Koji Oishi the champ at featherweight.
Fernandes is set to defend his title May 2 at ONE FC: Rise of Heroes against Masakatsu Ueda. That is the next show and will see ONE FC head to Pasay City in the Philippines.
"We have 12 events set for 2014, but we might have more," Cui stated. "We are already working towards penetrating into countries such as Cambodia, China, Korea and Taiwan."
Proving they have star power, ONE FC signed former Bellator welterweight champion and ex-U.S. Olympic wrestler Ben Askren. He will debut May 30 at ONE FC: Honor and Glory in Singapore against Bakhityar Abbasov and is expected to challenge for the welterweight title if he defeats Abbasov.
"The signing of Ben Askren re-establishes our position as one of the Top-5 MMA promotions in the world," Cui said. "Both Asian and non-Asian fighters contribute to our growth and establishment as the top MMA promotion in Asia.
"Our Asian fighters are huge, local heroes and they get tremendous support from the home country, which drives a lot of fans and attention to the sport in Asia. Our non-Asian fighters, as well as some Asian fighters, are also international-renowned fighters and having them sign with ONE FC shows the quality of our organization and fights."
Cui feels that ONE FC brings "the best of the West and the East" together to form a strong MMA promotion.
"We have the best Asian and Western fighters on our roster, and you not only get to see Brazilian jiu-jitsu and boxing, but you also witness traditional martial arts disciplines such as Kung Fu, Silat and Khmer. ONE FC shows offer a very interesting mix of culture, arts and combat sports in a world-class event."
Before taking on the challenge of ONE FC, Cui worked with ESPN Star Sports and the PGA Tour, along with the X Games, Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games and Martial Combat. ONE FC 13: Moment of Truth to close out 2013 drew 16,398 people to the SM Mall of Asia Arena in the Philippines, where they return for ONE FC 14 next month.
Earlier in 2013, they packed almost 16,000 into the same arena.
"Asia itself poses a great opportunity for the growth of MMA as it is the birthplace of various martial arts disciplines," Cui said. "Our strategy was to take the best practices from the West and the East and create a new distinctly Asian approach to our business. My experience in the industry has also provided me with an opportunity to observe the various organization's operations and strategies, their key to success and the reasons for failures – which shaped a lot of my business decisions today.
"I also get to meet the best people in the industry and bridge partnerships, with large organizations and blue chip companies. I also have the best people in the organization who does what they do best. Together, as a team, with the sponsors and partners, we continue to work on the right formula and continue to advance. This is only the beginning."
As for 2014 and beyond, Cui hopes to see expansion with ONE FC.
"I would like ONE FC to make a footing in all the major cities in Asia," he said, "and we will be looking into expanding to the Middle East, as well."

Voyages to Antiquity Cruises
Voyages to Antiquity is a one ship company, which is marketed as a "premium, small-ship product". Voyages of Antiquity provides historical and culture-rich cruises throughout the Mediterranean and Asia. The majority of cruises are all-inclusive, with the expense of most shore excursions, gratuities, wine and beer all included in the fare.
Dining venues onboard include Marco Polo and the Terrace Cafe and Grill. The Terrace Cafe and Grill is home to "Tapas on the Terrace", while it also offers a casual buffet restaurant. Although the emphasis onboard is on education rather than entertainment, there are still low-key forms of entertainment available such as pop ensemble or a pianist playing show tunes. The lack of casinos and showrooms onboard leaves space for numerous enrichment opportunities. Due to the educational focus of Voyages to Antiquity, cruises onboard this ship tend to be best suited to well educated, open minded cruisers who are eager to learn.
Voyages to Antiquity Cruises
The name says it all – take a fascinating cruise with Voyages to Antiquity and discover a world of history! Whether you are interested in contemporary or ancient history, you can rest assured that there will be an itinerary to suit you. Voyages to Antiquity's one vessel, the MV Aegean Odyssey, sails around Africa, the Far East, and the Mediterranean, and has a wide range of fascinating destinations with exciting cultures and rich historical pasts. The stop-offs and destinations are carefully planned to give you a real insight into all aspects of the ancient world. These cruises are friendly and informal.
Discover the Earth's Oldest Secrets on the MV Aegean Odyssey
Any cruise aboard the MV Aegean Odyssey will take you to several different countries. The MV Aegean is essentially a costal cruising ship, since hugging the shoreline allows its guests to spend the maximum of time ashore. The smaller size of the Aegean Odyssey, with on average only 350 passengers, is advantageous since it means that the ship can reach less accessible ports. It also means that you can sleep in splendor right in the heart of a city! The destinations and excursions are chosen under the guidance of noted historians, so you can rest assured you will do much more than just tick off the top tourist spots.
The cruises around the Mediterranean are mostly linked to the Roman domination in this area between 200BC and 200AD. Even if you already fancy yourself as an expert on the Roman Empire, when you are on site your guide will show you intricate, fascinating aspects of life that you may not have known about. It's hard to beat that feeling when you are learning about something right at the spot where it happened! Some of the captivating countries you will visit include Cyprus, Greece, Jordan, Malta, Morocco, Sicily and Italy.

Chestertown, MD — Dr. Kathryn M. Moncrief, Chair of the Department of English at Washington College, is the co-editor and a contributing author of Performing Maternity in Early Modern England, newly released by the England-based Ashgate Publishing Company.
The book is a collection of essays that explore the literary, cultural and historical aspects of maternity from 1540 to 1690 in plays and other texts—including midwifery manuals, medical guides and diaries from the period. It features writings by several top scholars in the field, including Dr. Moncrief and her co-editor, Dr. Kathryn R. McPherson of Utah Valley State College.
Drs. Moncrief and McPherson co-authored the book's opening essay, "Embodied and Enacted: Performances of Maternity in Early Modern England." Dr. Moncrief also authored "'Show me a child begotten of thy body that I am father to': Pregnancy, Paternity and the Problem of Evidence in All's Well That Ends Well," another essay featured in the book.
Performing Maternity in Early Modern England isn't the only collaborative effort of Drs. Moncrief and McPherson; they also are currently leading a Shakespeare Association research seminar, "Gender and Instruction in Early Modern England," and have begun work on a book on the same topic.
The various writings and projects all reflect Dr. Moncrief's specialties in research as well as the classroom: early modern English drama (Shakespeare and his contemporaries), 16th- and 17th-century English literature and culture, and women in early modern England, among other subjects.
Dr. Moncrief received her B.A. from Doane College, her M.A. from the University of Nebraska, and her Ph.D. from the University of Iowa. She became Chair of the Washington College Department of English in the summer of 2007.

Perfect for dad's who love to grill
Posted by Dani on 9th Jun 2014
Grilling is probably one of my dad's favorite things about Summer. As soon as it is tolerable to stand outside for more than a few minutes he is outside firing up the grill! This book would make a great gift for him and any other dad out there who has the same love for the grill.
