289. May I welcome you to the Committee? Could
you identify yourself for the record?
(Mr Cowcher) I am George Cowcher and I am the Acting
Director of Operations of ONE North East, the Regional Development
Agency for the North East.
290. Do you want to say anything by way of introduction
or are you happy for us to go straight to questions?
(Mr Cowcher) I am happy for you to go
straight in.
291. The Urban White Paper asks the regional
development agencies to address the issue of empty properties.
What has ONE North East done about that?
(Mr Cowcher) Our primary remit is not necessarily
in relation to housing, but we have a remit for improving the
economic performance of the area and for increasing the area's
competitiveness. Our agendas to achieve that have effect on housing
and empty housing. We are aware that in our region empty housing
is not a constant factor throughout the region. There are pockets
of areas where it is a particular problem. Those are good indications
to us that those are areas of under-performance for the local
economy. Therefore, in terms of our economic strategy, we are
aiming to address those areas to try to improve the local economy
in those areas to create greater demand for housing in those areas.
292. Do you feel that regional development agencies
can have a direct role in housing provision?
(Mr Cowcher) It is difficult. Regional development
agencies are not the planning authority and they are not the housing
authority. Their remit is quite clear, certainly in terms of the
changes under current government policy. The regional development
agencies really have to address the whole question of wealth creation
and moving towards improving wealth in areas and moving to some
degree away from the social agenda. When the regional development
agencies started out, we inherited a lot of programmes, particularly
under the old SRB schemes. Many of those were directly related
to deal with housing and associated matters. Our current programmes
are moving to some degree away from that, but in the North East
we have taken a very imaginative way of addressing how we deal
with our forward direction in that we have decided to work very
closely with our local regional partners, our four regional partners
in the North East and we shall be devolving 75 per cent of our
headroom budget directly to our local partners who are delivering
that against a programme which they are putting forward and in
some instances the physical regeneration of those areas is a very,
very high priority.
293. Who are those partners?
(Mr Cowcher) Those partners in the North East are
Northumberland County, Tyne-and-Wear, Durham and Tees Valley,
which is basically the former Cleveland County and Darlington.
294. What has the impact been of the removal
of gap funding?
(Mr Cowcher) At the moment we are not actually seeing
terrific impact because at the moment we are dealing with a number
of schemes which were actually approved when gap funding was available.
We are seeing some very major regeneration schemes coming forward
which is making use of those original powers.
295. That is just the fag end of things which
were granted some time ago.
(Mr Cowcher) Indeed. One of the concerns we have is
that the loss of gap funding may well create problems for us in
years to come. In terms of putting new programmes together, that
is a great concern to us. Our calculation at the moment is that
to bring forward brownfield land for housing costs twice as much
as it does to bring forward greenfield land and there is a huge
gap there and if gap funding powers are not available to us that
will inhibit our ability to deliver.
296. Are there any new projects in the pipeline,
any alternatives which have come forward?
(Mr Cowcher) We have a raft of projects in the pipeline
and clearly we are working our way round at the moment to ensure
that we can get the right finance to achieve those. The gap funding
route was very helpful in that respect. Other measures are perhaps
more convoluted.
297. Have you found any alternatives?
(Mr Cowcher) We are looking under a variety of programmes
and looking perhaps particularly at Sunderland at the moment where
we are looking at setting up urban regeneration companies which
are able to lever in additional money. There are other programmes
which are still running, where we are able to use some coalfield
money, which is particularly relevant in County Durham which is
able to fill this role. There is nothing with the same degree
of flexibility as there was with the gap funding and gap funding
mechanism that we had.
298. Do you or your regional partners know how
many houses are empty in your region?
(Mr Cowcher) There are estimates in our region of
how many there are.
299. Could you put your finger on those estimates
and say this is the problem, this is the scale of the empty homes
problem we have?
(Mr Cowcher) There is that empirical evidence which
is collated for us by our local authority partners. We are able
to see that there are particular areas in our region which are
suffering as a result of this particular problem. You are going
to take evidence from Gateshead Borough shortly and I am sure
they could give more details about that.

(SBUX) Starbucks Closes Teavana Holdings Buy
Starbucks Corporation (SBUX) recently announced the closure of its previously-announced deal to acquire Atlanta-based Teavana Holdings, Inc. (TEA), a specialty retailer of tea, for approximately $620 million in cash. Teavana has now become a wholly owned subsidiary of Starbucks.
Teavana operated through 300 mall-based stores, which Starbucks plans to expand. Starbucks is also planning to establish new stand-alone Teavana neighborhood stores domestically as well as internationally. Moreover, Starbucks plans to open tea bars (which will create customized tea beverages) inside these stores, which presently sell only loose-leaf teas and related merchandise.
We believe that the collaboration of Starbucks and Teavana provides the former a global opportunity to create a unique retail experience in the $40 billion tea category. When Starbucks announced the deal in mid-November, it claimed that tea is the world's second largest beverage category that offered a large scope for innovation, which Starbucks plans to exploit. However, management stressed that focusing on tea does not signal a slowdown in its core coffee business.
The acquisition is complementary with Starbucks' already existing core tea business of Tazo tea. Starbucks sells Tazo tea in stores as well as across the foodservice channels. Over time, Starbucks plans to create a two-tiered business, where both the Tazo and Teavana branded products will co-exist.
Starbucks is constantly on the lookout for new businesses that are complementary with its core coffee offerings. Six months ago, Starbucks acquired bakery chain La Boulange, and a year back it bought Evolution Fresh juice stores to expand its footprint beyond coffee. Teavana is another step in that direction.
Teavana's shareholders received $15.50 per share in cash for the merger. The acquisition is expected to add a penny to 2013 earnings.
Our Recommendation
We currently have a long-term Neutral recommendation on Starbucks. However, the stock carries a Zacks #2 Rank (a short-term Buy rating). Starbucks competes with McDonald's Corp. (MCD) which carries a Zacks#3 Rank (short term 'Hold' rating).
Starbucks is gaining momentum following the solid results in fiscal 2012; regular product innovations like the at-home coffee machine, Verismo; and great strategic deals like La Boulange, Evolution Fresh and now Teavana.

Gelatos + Glaze = love!
Hi Faber-Castell friends, my name is Karen and I am SO excited to be showing you all my first project here as a guest designer for Faber-Castell Design, Memory Craft!
Last week I bought a gorgeous pint of strawberries. They were shiny, plump and deliciously sweet tasting. I ended up sketching them in my sketchbook just because they made me SO happy! And then the more I thought about them, I had to turn them into a canvas!
Normally, I am a paint kind of girl. But I absolutely ADORE the pigment of the Faber-Castell Gelatos® Colors and felt the challenge to only use Gelatos® Colors for color – no paint, gasp!
I started with a piece of scrap wood. I used Faber-Castell gesso to lightly cover the top. I added a couple scraps of paper and then I literally, scibble-scrabbled Lime, Green Tea and Spearmint Gelatos® all over the top. Using a wet paint brush I blended them together. Since the three colors are Mix and Match, they all go blend together perfectly and give the background a bit of depth! Then I took Black Gelato® to go around the edge, like a frame.
So, I find that I am a little bit of an over-achiever (crazy, really) and like to cut shapes out twice. I use scrap paper to get the idea of the size and placement of the pieces on my canvas. (It also lets me edit typos . . . can you find the typo that I luckily fixed before I attached it?!)
To add to the background I used a white gelato and a stencil. In the Faber-Castell Gelatos® Colors tool set, there is a great dot dabber tool, I used it to mash the white Gelato into the stencil. Then I let it dry – overnight – because I made it SO thick!! It created a texture that actually stands out from the background, I love it!
Now, to make the strawberries as delicious looking as they were in real-life . . . I took a small chunk of Red Cherry Gelatos® and mashed it together with Glaze! It made the most intense shiny red color but is totally translucent … amazing!! I spread it onto old book paper. Then I mashed Spearmint Gelatos® with Glaze to make the color for the leaves and spread it onto another piece of book paper.
After it dried, I cut out the shapes I had planned and used Gel Medium to glue them down. (I was careful to only get the medium on the the back of the shapes, because I wanted them to stay as shiny as possible.)
Then I doodled with PITT® Artist Pens, used my Stampers Big Brush Cold Gray III to create some shadow and added some finishing touches! Now, get out your Gelatos® and Glaze and get painting!! You will be amazed at the colors, I promise!!
I hope you enjoyed my strawberries as much as I did while I was making them! Come visit me at my blog I Just Need More Glue, or my Pinterest page!

Jeff Zucker Roasted by Katie Couric, Alec Baldwin, Brian Williams
"I haven't felt so much love since I sat down with [Comcast COO] Steve Burke a few weeks ago," jokes the NBC Uni CEO at a luncheon.
NEW YORK -- Katie Couric, Alec Baldwin, Brian Williams, Mark Feuerstein and Lorne Michaels roasted outgoing NBC Universal CEO Jeff Zucker at the Center for Communication's annual luncheon here Monday, and they did so with jokes about failed NBC primetime programs, the Conan O'Brien-Jay Leno situation and even Charlie Sheen.
Zucker himself also spoke out, joking about his recent firing by Comcast COO Steve Burke who will take over the NBC Universal CEO post once cable giant Comcast closes its planned acquisition of the entertainment company.
"I haven't felt so much love since I sat down with Steve Burke a few weeks ago," Zucker told the crowd at the Center's 30th annual award luncheon.
Referring to the Center's decision a few years ago to honor Tom Freston just weeks after his firing from the CEO post at Viacom, Zucker said the Center has a knack for bestowing an award on executives "right after they get shit-canned."
Pointing out a big severance package that Freston nabbed, he said: "Apparently he did not work for GE."
Zucker had this advice for media executives when they get a call from the Center: "Run! Do not return the call, and start lining up your next gig fast."
To much laughter and applause, he also played what he introduced as recent cell phone voicemail messages he had received.
Among them was one from the general manager at Manhattan power lunch spot Michael's who said Zucker's corporate card had been declined, Tom Brokaw declining a 6:30 p.m. news show ahead of Williams, one from McDonald's human resources thanking him for submitting his resume and one from Arnold Schwarzenegger that said: "I don't have an opening on my political staff right now."
The crowd also enjoyed an alleged Williams voicemail meant for Burke. "Welcome, welcome, welcome...I'm your man," it said.
Couric also earned many laughs, quipping that Zucker was at least "walking away with Conan O'Brien money."
In a reference to an expected Republican rout in Tuesday's midterm elections, she said that in few places beyond the White House can someone have little success with new programs and battle with budgets and still keep their job. "Oh yeah, NBC," she quipped before suggesting that Zucker, who has expressed an interest in politics, among other things, could star in a CNN show, "Zucker-Pelosi."
Couric also mentioned Zucker's love for golf, adding that it is no surprise he is drawn to a game where the players with the lowest numbers win. In another ratings joke, she said that the Pierre, appropriately, is the fourth-best hotel in the country - a reference to how NBC fell from being the top-ranked network to the fourth spot under Zucker's leadership. And she joked that Zucker must have known some change was about to happen in his career when he recently found Donald Trump sitting in his office.
In a reference to a comment that got anchor Rick Sanchez fired from CNN, Couric also quipped that Zucker is proof that Jewish people control the media, but aren't necessarily good at it.
When she had heard that the 30th annual luncheon would take place at a midtown Manhattan hotel, she thought she would get to see Charlie Sheen, Couric also joked. The Pierre Hotel is near the Plaza where Sheen had last week trashed a hotel room.
Couric at one point acknowledged that she was getting really edgy, saying that she had seen Baldwin's pro-gay marriage video before adding: "Rumor is that this isn't the first time he's been inside a Pierre."
Meanwhile, Williams said he wasn't sure what could be said about Zucker that hasn't been said about him in the media or on online discussion boards. "Oh, I know: he's a good guy," he deadpanned.
Given that the Center's luncheon "has a certain kiss of death" about it for media folks, Williams also nominated Couric and Diane Sawyer for the 2011 honor.
Up next, Feuerstein said that if the award came from the Center for Really Honest Communication, it would be called "Your consolation prize."
Baldwin then took to the stage, saying: "I can't believe that Katie Couric and Brian Williams are the funniest people at this lunch," arguing that should tell people about the state of affairs of the entertainment industry.
He also asked Zucker for a production deal, with his first project being The Real Housewives of Rockefeller Plaza, featuring the likes of Zucker's wife and Meredith Vieira who would share their most intimate secrets. Given that he'd plan it for NBC primetime, Baldwin told Zucker to relax. "All your secrets are safe, Jeff," he quipped, adding they could do the deal Ben Silverman-style
But after a slew of jokes, all speakers lauded Zucker for always supporting them and believing in their work.
Michaels expressed his "total respect and admiration" for how Zucker handled himself under pressure, especially over the past two years.
And the fact that NBC allowed O'Brien to finish his run also deserves credit, he suggested. "I doubt that would have happened at CBS," said Michaels. It definitely would not have happened at Disney - "they are way too well run." Possibly at Fox, he added.
Couric lauded Zucker for taking chances and being one of best people she has worked for.
Williams lauded Zucker for his generosity and loyalty.
And Baldwin said he hopes that whatever company Zucker ends up with will hopefully end up buying NBC - "so that I could work for you again."
And, in one of the most emotional moments of the events, Feuerstein called Zucker "a truly empathetic human being," recalling how his 1-year-old daughter had two open heart surgeries, and Zucker kept checking on her state via email and asking if he could do anything - "at least once every two weeks."
Michaels handed Zucker the award to a standing ovation.
The outgoing NBC Uni boss said he is looking back on a "fantastic career" with few regrets and said he hopes his next step will be "half as great" as his NBC experience.
With the Comcast-NBC Uni merger expected to get regulatory approval late this year or in early 2011, Zucker said "I still have a few months of work left."
But he also thanked his mother, who was present, and his wife who he said he had married in the same hotel event room where he was now honored almost 15 years ago.
The awards luncheon every year bestows the Frank Stanton Award for excellence on a big name from the media world.
This year's luncheon chairs were NBC Universal Sports & Olympics chairman Dick Ebersol, who couldn't attend the event due to a prior commitment, and Universal boss Ron Meyer.
Among the other attendees were NBC Universal cable networks power players Bonnie Hammer and Lauren Zalaznick, NBC Uni digital distribution expert JB Perrette, Sony Corp. chairman and CEO Howard Stringer, Viacom COO Tom Dooley, Katherine Oliver, the commissioner of the New York City Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment, as well as Center chairman Richard Bressler of private equity firm Thomas H. Lee Partners who said he was curious to hear what Zucker will do next.
Previous Stanton award honorees include Charlie Rose, BET chairman Debra Lee and Freston.

Room 12 of the National Portrait Gallery is a pleasant but potentially inhibiting place for a recital; full of portraits of 18th century artists, fine likenesses of Handel and both JC & JS Bach stare down impassively, self-absorbed. Still, it's neatly tucked away at the heart of the Gallery, minimising distractions, and, being an open-ended atrium is, practically, a bigger space than reporting an audience of 60 or so might make it seem.
This first of two recitals devised by the pianist Simon Lepper featured a cycle of Schumann songs, the 12 Gedachte, Op.35 on poems by Kerner. Before this, baritone Marcus Farnsworth opened the programme with three fine songs by Brahms, Wie bist du, meine Königin, Lerchengesang and Von Ewiger Liebe. His quiet, confiding singing of the second song intimated the quality of his sound and the dry-but-not-dead quality of the room, with Lepper notable for his discretion. Farnsworth's German is also carefully honed and benefits from well prepared vowels which give his legato singing good line (maybe the singer was on best behaviour having clocked the German lieder expert Richard Stokes in the audience).
The Schumann is not a cycle with which I'm familiar but it's full of good music and fine settings. It's also got a few hazards, which Farnsworth negotiated rather well, making music out of them rather than simply coping. A case in point would be the opening, lower register-heavy Lust der Sturmnacht followed straightaway by the devotional Stirb, Lieb und Freud in which the words of the Virgin Mary are set in extraordinary, pop-out tessitura at the upper limits of the baritone range. And as quietly as possible, naturally. Farnsworth's head voice emerged as cultured in such moments. There are such gear changes within songs as well - Auf das Trinkglas sets off in a graduate vein, ebulliently praising the now-empty glass that has been an evening's companion, only for night's canopy to overwhelm the imagery of the scene. Kerner is at his best here and Schumann responds with perfumed music, nicely evoked by Lepper, and with Farnsworth discreetly turning the focus inward.
The Schumann of more celebrated songs is in evidence here and there, most notably perhaps in the overt love songs (a classically Romantic cycle, there's as much here about nature, far off lands and ageing monuments as the missing sweetheart). Stille Tränen toys with the idea of the extended piano postlude, as familiar from Dichterliebe, settling for an elaborate coda after a reprise of the final verse. It's interesting that this most stirring song starts in the same key and manner as the act 2 love duet from Wagner's Tristan und Isolde, yet 16 years from being written, but takes in the same ur-Romantic themes of assumption of paradise through sleep, waking from night etc. (albeit inverted by Wagner to coincide with his own philosophy).
The duo ended with an encore of Ivor Gurney's Sleep ('we thought you'd had enough depressing German music, so here's some depressing English music' Farnsworth offered), a welcome constitutional before heading out into the weekend West End.

Just because the NFL is encountering its most turbulent time in decades, that doesn't mean all Jets are grounded.
Quite the opposite.
More than a dozen members of the New York Jets are participating in an informal passing camp in Mission Viejo this week, organized by Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez. The quarterbacks, receivers and running backs — without the help of the franchise — are breaking down video from last season, poring over cobbled-together playbooks, then throwing and catching on the field at Mission Viejo High, Sanchez's alma mater.
So Tuesday, as the U.S. 8th Circuit Court of Appeals was announcing it had fast-tracked the NFL's appeal and will hear it June 3, Sanchez was working with teammates that included veterans such as LaDainian Tomlinson, Dustin Keller and Brad Smith, as well as several first-year players.
"If you have a rookie quarterback who has never learned the system, there's no way you could put on a camp like this," said Sanchez, the former USC star whose Jets came one victory away from the Super Bowl in each of the past two seasons. "If you don't know who's going to be your starter, it's very difficult to put on a camp like this. We're fortunate that way. We're trying to take every advantage we can and try to win one more game.

WATCH: The power of vulnerability: Why nurses must take care of themselves
Researcher and storyteller Brene Brown is not a touchy-feely person. She doesn't even hang out with people like that. As a woman of science, she revels in things that can be measured and controlled. She's also sarcastic and tough.
Sound familiar?
Brown's six-year long research on human connection dove into the heart of why some people feel worthy of connection and why others struggle with worthiness. She found that there's surprisingly one simple factor that separates these two groups of people: One group harbors a fear of vulnerability (i.e. shame) and the other group embraces vulnerability as a necessity for connection. The people in this latter group simply believe that they are worthy of love and belonging. The most profound finding is that one cannot extend compassion to others unless you have compassion for yourself.
In Brown's own words, these findings changed the way she "lives, loves, works and parents."
Watch this important video that takes a wholehearted look at why the most important thing for a nurse is to take care of him/herself first — a message that is vitally important as nurses spend their lives caring for others, often at the expense of their own emotional and physical health.

Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education
2015: the COACHE Returns to Purdue
In 2015, we once again solicited Purdue faculty input through the COACHE survey. The 2015 survey included all of the previous questions for comparison to the 2012 benchmarks, as well as some new questions related specifically to leadership and climate for women and under-represented minority (URM) faculty. The survey period ran from January through April 2015; the response rate was 54%.
Responses from the survey are completely confidential. The data are held by COACHE under an IRB-approved protocol and Purdue faculty and administration do not have access to them. Even the aggregated data that we receive and use are masked for any demographic group with fewer than 10 members in a unit.
Three documents containing and explaining the Purdue results are available here
The Office of the Provost hosted a town hall meeting to review highlights from the 2015 COACHE survey results in November 2015. Watch the full November 2015 meeting here.
COACHE November 2016 Town Hall: Proposed Initatives
The Office of the Provost hosted a second town hall meeting to discuss implementation plans as a result of the 2015 COACHE survey results on November 7, 2016.

History of the COACHE Survey
Since 2003, the Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education (COACHE), based at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, has surveyed more than 15,000 tenure-track faculty members at over 200 colleges and universities across the US. These surveys focus on the factors that shape career satisfaction – an important matter that bears directly on faculty productivity and retention.
COACHE reports that, across many colleges and universities, the strongest predictors of faculty satisfaction and success are:
- Clarity of promotion and tenure procedures
- Work-life balance
- Institutional support for research and teaching
- An engaged, supportive climate at the workplace
In 2012, Purdue University participated in the COACHE survey for the first time. With a response rate of 47% (778 individuals), Purdue faculty indicated their major concerns to be tenure policy, salary, and child care availability. This led to specific action by the university in all three areas, as well as initiatives in other areas identified in the survey responses.
Several reports based on the findings from this investigation remain available to all members of the Purdue community:
- Faculty Initiatives
- Faculty Initiatives
- Schedule of Program Dates
- Faculty Initiatives Key Points
- Dual Career Assistance Program
- Faculty Retention Fund
- Leading Faculty Bridge Program
- Strategic Opportunity Hiring Program
- University Faculty Scholars Program
- Major Research Equipment Program
- Instructional Equipment Program
- Instructional Innovation Program
- Research Refresh
- Faculty Writing Groups

Eric Bolling Blasts NYT and Wapo: 'You Should Be Ashamed of Your Reporting' (VIDEO)
Fox News' Eric Bolling destroyed the New York Times and Washington Post this evening over their back to back fake news stories this week. Bolling said they should be ashamed of their reporting.
Via Fox News:
President Donald Trump is onto something with his criticism of the "fake news" mainstream media, Eric Bolling said on "The Fox News Specialists" today.
He pointed to a "bombshell" Washington Post report that came out earlier this week about Trump revealing highly classified information to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador.
Bolling noted that the intelligence Trump revealed to the Russians – which was about an ISIS plot involving laptops on airplanes – was actually common knowledge.
"So the 'bombshell' was a dud. Fake news," Bolling said.
He also took aim at a New York Times report that revealed then-FBI Director James Comey wrote a memo about Trump asking Comey to end the investigation into former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
Bolling pointed out that Comey had written the memo months earlier and had been sitting on it, calling the timing "pretty interesting."
He added that Comey also said during sworn testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee earlier this month that he had not been asked to stop any investigation on Russia's meddling in the U.S. presidential election.
"Another 'bombshell' fizzling out. Fake news," Bolling said. "The Washington Post and The New York Times, you should be ashamed of your reporting."
Eric Bolling is on point as usual. One 'bombshell' story after another turns out to be a fake news dud. WaPo and New York Times are a bullhorn for Democrat operatives looking to peddle anti-Trump propaganda to the masses.

Praxis Forum in Action
Posted by Juan.Toribio on Wednesday April 6, 2016
Praxis Forums and Nyack College was pleased to have Jennifer Jones Austin and Romanita Hairston speak last month to leaders from across the city and engage in a meaningful dialogue about leadership, collaboration, and how we might more effectively reduce poverty & increase opportunity among our neighbors who live on the margins. First on March 16th we were blessed to have Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies President Jennifer Jones Austin speak at our Emerging Leader Dinner hosted in partnership with Nyack College. Jennifer described her call to change to reduce poverty and increase opportunity for those on the margins and challenged those there to consider working in government stating that creating systemic change requires understanding about how the system really works. In addition, she encouraged everyone to embrace reality, gain clarity by removing the clutter, and to stay true to and strengthen their core. The dialogue between Jennifer and the dinner participants was very enriching for everyone!
It's difficult to capture in a few paragraphs all of what both Jennifer & Romanita said. The responses from those who attended was extremely enthusiastic where some said "it changed my view of ministry," "life giving," and "very powerful." One of the greatest outcomes was the connections made between those who attended. We had a robust conversation at both Praxis Forums events. I'm thankful to both Jennifer Jones Austin and Romanita Hairston for taking the time out of their demanding schedules to to be with us! A special thanks to our partner at Nyack College & Salvation Army for hosting Praxis Forums.

On the extremely rare occasion that i get to go out and do something grown up, its been so long I can't actually remember what you do. I always look in my wardrobe despondently, route out what I'd worn five years ago on the last evening I actually went out, decide its not right for this event and so I will have to buy a new outfit. Because of this I am building a small collection of these outfits in my wardrobe, tops that are too dressy, ones that aren't dressy enough, smart satin trousers that no jacket will go with and dresses that have been bought for various weddings that I know deep within my heart that I will never wear again because when I saw the wedding photos I was so horrified at how atrocious I looked that I cried.
The pinnacle of this collection is my wedding dress. Why oh why am I keeping it? It wasn't massively expensive, I know without doubt my daughter wouldn't be seen in it, let alone wear it for her wedding day. Its bulky, takes too much room in my wardrobe and I probably wouldn't get it passed my thighs now even if I tried to get it on. I wouldn't mind but the bells for my wedding stopped ringing a long time ago, in fact my marriage has just breathed its last breath.
Its time it went, along with all the other outfits that I "might" wear again to a different special occasion and start again. Who knows I might actually start learning to buy things properly and have special occasion outfits in my wardrobe that I will use more than once.
Nah you're right I'll probably just keep making the same mistakes over and over again :0)

It happens to some people after surgery for breast cancer or melanoma. While they beat the cancer, they are left with a painful and life-altering condition.
Now doctors have a new way to help.
Jeannette Aspden's right arm is a constant reminder of her battle with breast cancer four years ago.
If it weren't for the heavy black sleeve wrapping it from shoulder to fingers, her arm might look more like a balloon.
"I have an even more bulky and difficult thing to sleep with," Jeannette says.
To get rid of all of Jeannette's cancer, surgeons had to remove the tumor and breast tissue, and also lymph nodes under the armpit.
The same is done for many melanoma skin cancer surgeries as well.
Lymph nodes keep fluid moving through the body, and help fight dangerous infections by filtering out bacteria.
"When they're disrupted, fluid builds up in the arm or in the leg, wherever they lymph nodes were removed from," says Dr. Suhail Kanchwala of Penn Medicine.
Bacteria can also build up.T
hat was Jeannette's first sign she had a condition called lymphedema.
"It was one infection after another," she says, shaking her head.
Dr. Kanchwala says that's not unusual. "Many patients I've met have had problems that land them in the hospital with I-V antibiotices multiple times, even in the course of a year," he says.
And the swelling increased with each infection, making every hand movement painful and difficult for this free-lance writer.
"It hampers my livelihood. It hampers my everyday life," she says and adds, "You don't know the back of your hand anymore. It just looks wrong."
Clothes often don't fit, and the swollen limb is unsightly and attract attention.
"So the little boy said, 'Mommy, what's wrong with her arm? And she went, 'Shhhhhhhh!" Jeannette recalls.
There's no cure for lymphedema. The primary treatments are exercises and compression with garments that squeeze fluid out of the affected limb.
But they are difficult to wear, expensive - and not completely covered by insurance, and the effects only last while the garment is on.
So Dr. Kanchwala decided to bring a procedure developed in France to Philadelphia.
It is a transplant, moving lymph nodes from an unaffected area of the body to the area where the lymph nodes were removed. In Jeannette's case surgeons transplanted lymph nodes from her abdomen up to her underarm.
"Taking them from just underneath the skin and putting them in another area just underneath the skin," says Dr. Kanchwala.
It is a delicate procedure but has proven results for most patients.
A melanoma patient's leg went from grossly deformed to moderately swollen in just 3 weeks after surgery.
"About 60 per cent of the patients had a noticeable decrease in their lymphedema symptoms," he said, referring to surgery at one center doing the transplants.
In Jeannette's case, 10 days after surgery, her swelling has come down considerably.
Her hands are nearly equal in size - "Look, I hane knuckles," she crows.
And veins are visible again on the underside of her wrist.
"This is wonderful," Dr. Kanchwala comments, looking at her hands.
"I was actually able to get my wedding ring on this hand. I have not been able to do that in 4 years," Jeannette tells the doctor and Joy Cohn, a physical therapist and team leader of Penn Medicine's Lymphedema Services.
Jeannette and most other patients will still have to wear a compression sleeve but she may be able to wear it less often.
And most patients will get fewer infections and more mobility.
"This is treating patients' quality of life," Dr. Kanchwala says.
Jeannette is happy so far with her results. She says it is already easier to use her cell phone.
But she did say the first week of her recovery was more painful than she had expected.
Right now, the lymph node transplant is only being done for patients with lymphedema as a result of surgery, radiation, and scarring. That is referred to as secondary lymphedema. Primary lymphedema is an inherited condition that begins in infancy, puberty, or early adulthood.
The doctor says this is a last resort for patients. It is only for people who still have painful swelling and infections, even though they are doing other therapies.
For information, call Penn Medicine Plastic Surgery at 215-662-7300.


text: Heat 1tbsp of the oil in a large nonstick frying pan and add the onion. Fry over a medium heat 5 minutes or until soft and starting to colour, stirring regularly. Add the garlic and cook for a further minute. Increase the heat and add the courgettes and peppers. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Slowly and carefully pour the vegetable stock into the pan and add the tomatoes, tomato purée, oregano, thyme, bay leaf and sugar. Bring to a simmer and season with the salt and plenty of ground black pepper. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes or until the vegetables are starting to soften and the sauce has thickened, stirring occasionally. As soon as it is cooked, turn off the heat and leave to stand. While the vegetables are simmering, prepare the sauce for the topping. Pour the soya milk into a large sauce pan and add the onion, bay and thyme. Bring to a fast simmer, then immediately remove from the heat and leave to infuse for 30 minutes. While the sauce is infusing, prepare the aubergines. Preheat the grill to its hottest setting. Cut the aubergines into diagonal slices around 1cm thick. Place as many slices as possible in a single layer on a large baking tray. Brush with a little of the sunflower oil. Cook the aubergine under the hot grill for 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Turn the slices over with tongs and brush with some of the remaining oil. Grill for a further 5 minutes then remove from the tray and drain on kitchen paper. Cover the baking tray with another batch of aubergine slices and grill in the same way. Continue until all the aubergine is cooked and drained. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. To make the topping, strain the infused milk into a jug, discarding the onion and herbs. Stir the nutmeg into the flour. Melt the sunflower spread in a large nonstick saucepan over a low heat and stir in the flour. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Pour a little of the soya milk into the pan, stirring continuously. When the milk has been absorbed add a little more. Continue gradually adding the soya milk until it has all been used. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes, stirring. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper. To assemble the moussaka, gently pour the tomato and vegetable sauce into a 2 litre ovenproof dish – a lasagne dish is ideal. Place the aubergine slices on the top, overlapping where necessary. Pour over the white sauce so that it covers all the aubergine. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until bubbling and golden brown in places. *Some vegan products may only be available in limited stores. See more Vegan recipes

Simon Frith has been one of the most important figures in the emergence and subsequent development of popular music studies. From his earliest academic publication, The Sociology of Rock (1978), through to his recent work on the live music industry in the UK, in his desire to atake popular music seriouslya he has probably been cited more than any other author in the field. Uniquely, he has combined this work with a lengthy career as a music critic for leading publications on both sides of the Atlantic. The contributions to this volume of essays and memoirs seek to honour Frithas achievements, but they are not merely aabout Fritha. Rather, they are important interventions by leading scholars in the field, including Robert Christgau, Antoine Hennion, Peter J. Martin and Philip Tagg. The focus on asociology and industrya and aaesthetics and valuesa reflect major themes in Frithas own work, which can also be found within popular music studies more generally. As such the volume will become an essential resource for those working in popular music studies, as well as in musicology, sociology and cultural and media studies.essay. on.

A Midwest Texas mother is speaking out about a rare condition plaguing her son to raise awareness among other parents who may miss the signs.
Marissa Davis, of Abilene, Texas, is mom to 5-month old Kamden, who suffers from sagittal craniosynostosis, Big Country Homepage reported. The condition occurs when joints in the skull develop prematurely, outpacing the growth of the brain, according to the Mayo Clinic. Effects may include a misshapen skull and a "soft spot" on the front of the baby's skull, as well as slow growth of the head compared to the rest of the body, and increased pressure in the skull.
"I noticed a ridge on [Kamden's] head, and I also noticed that his head was growing only longwise, elongated," Davis told the news website.
Davis caught the condition early by Googling her son's symptoms—a discovery she said helped him avoid CVR surgery, which would have required rebuilding his entire skull. Instead, he underwent an endoscopic procedure. However, he will still have to wear helmets to protect his head until he is 18 months old.
The helmets cost about $3,700 each, and Kamden will need about seven as he grows, said his mother, who is holding a garage sale fundraiser at a local church to help cover the expense.
Davis encouraged other parents who think their children may have an abnormally shaped head to see their pediatrician immediately.
"A lot of these kids go undiagnosed for many years," she told Big Country Homepage. "Just ask questions. Be an advocate for your child."

In recent years, Harvard University has expanded its offerings in Southeast Asian Studies with faculty appointments, courses, language study, conferences, workshops, student programs, travel grants and fellowships, and such activities as a film series and seminar series.
Two rapidly growing programs are the Thai Studies Program and the Indonesia Program, which build on earlier work by faculty and by programs in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and the Kennedy School of Government. In most, if not all cases, the Harvard University Asia Center has played a key role in implementing or convening these initiatives. In particular, the Asia Center has worked to develop the following two programs.
The Thai Studies Program
The Thai Studies Program, under the direction of Michael Herzfeld, Ernest E. Monrad Professor of the Social Sciences at Harvard University, formed as a result of the Asia Center receiving seed funding from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand to support language instructors and courses at several levels of proficiency. This funding has been reinforced by private donations for the establishment of a new professorship in Thai Studies and an annual lecture series named for the late Professor Stanley Tambiah in which representatives of academia, business, government, and other professions will give public presentations. The inaugural Tambiah Lecture took place in October 2014 and was delivered by Professor Katherine A. Bowie, University of Wisconsin, Madison (watch video). In the Fall of 2015, Prof. Justin McDaniel, Professor of Religious Studies, University of Pennsylvania, gave the lecture entitled "On the Back Streets of the Galactic Polity: Studying Indian Religions in Modern Thailand."
The Thailand@Harvard lecture series began in 2012 with a lecture given by Dr. Komatra Chuengsatiensup, Director, Society and Health Institute, Ministry of Public Health, Bangkok, who spoke on "After the Flood: Reaction, Relief and Recovery in Thailand."

Drills to increase running speed include straights and curves, fast arms and squats. Once a runner has proper sprinting form, sprinting is another useful drill for increasing speed.Continue Reading
Straights and curves occur at a track, although the runner can modify the exercise for other locations. The runner walks around the curves of the track and runs for the straight portions. The run should be at a fast pace, but below a sprint.
To perform the fast arms drill, the runner stands straight up with feet shoulder-width apart. He holds both arms with elbows bent at 90-degree angles and pumps the arms back and forth through a sprinting motion as fast as possible for about 20 seconds.
To perform squats, the runner stands with feet shoulder-width apart and sits down so the hips are level with the knees. He pushes his buttocks back while doing this and doesn't let the knees go past the toes. Body weight squats help the runner get the form correct. After that, he can add weights.Learn more about Race Training & Events

There is no doubt that "underdog" Big Sean has "turned into the wolf" as he played The Fillmore Silver Spring in Silver Spring, MD on Saturday night. The sold out crowd of 2,000+ was packed wall-to-wall – literally – forcing security to escort us photographers and media in through the back door to get to the front of the stage.
Shortly before 10pm, the lights dimmed, the intro to "Voices In My Head/Stick To The Plan" started playing, and the crowd erupted.
Voices in my head sayin' I could do better / Voices in my head sayin' that I knew better… thanks to VIP packages, Big Sean's biggest fans were in the front rows and they proved it, rapping along every single lyric as he moved on to "No Favors" and "Paradise".
The Detroit rapper packed 27 songs into the next 90 minutes and despite the sold out crowd, there's no question that the Detroit rapper should be selling out much bigger arenas. Big Sean lived up to his name, and we can't wait to hear what he has in store for us next. Check out our photo recap of Big Sean's I Decided. tour below:

The world is experiencing a watershed phase in the second decade of the 21st century, marked by a geopolitical and economic power shift from the West to Euro-Asian powers. The present period exposes various geopolitical and geostrategic challenges, which prove more difficult to tackle than those in the 20th century. These challenges take the form of political confrontation, internal and internationally-political armed conflicts, conflict over raw-material resources in civil war torn countries across Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and also in newly explored strategic regions like the Arctic. The worldas rapidly-expanding population is facing cyclical fluctuations of food prices as the result of climate changes, economic conflicts, the rise of religious fundamentalism, and also fragmentation of the political map of the world. This latter aspect brings along not only the rise of secessionist movements, violating territorial integrity as the core principle of the international community, but also a redefinition of one of the key characteristics of a sovereign state, namely international recognition. Kosovo, South Ossetia and South Sudan are showcase examples of this emerging trend. Will be the 21st century defined by rivalries between national (super) powers, and not by the supremacy of collective universitas or overlapping sovereignties, replacing sovereign states as expected by the New Middle Age theorists? Which will be the dominant power in a multipolar world a the rapidly-weakening United States, on the one hand, or an ever more confident China, aspiring to regain the status of the worldas strongest economy? This volume provides expert insights and answers from American, Europan, Asian and African specialists.This study has found that the EU should generally increase the hard power projection in this region by building up its military capabilities ... needed due to the changed multilateral world order and the existing power vacuum in the direct European neighbourhood. ...

Understanding PPC Advertising
In this article we'll give a basic rundown of pay per click advertising, how it works, and how it can benefit your business.
Although there are a multitude of options available for online marketing nowadays, when used properly, PPC offers tremendous opportunity to drive traffic to your website and ultimately increase your online profits.
PPC in a nutshell
PPC is an advertising method for bringing targeted traffic to your website. It revolves around CPC (cost per click) ads, and is what you pay every time someone clicks on your ad and is subsequently taken to your website or landing page.
The majority of advertising you see on search engines and also social networks are run on a PPC system. The way that these ads drive targeted traffic is by only displaying to people who've shown an interest in your type of ad. This is done by selecting search terms that you'd like to have your ads appear for when they're searched. For example, if you're advertising Tennis raquets, you would target keywords such as 'tennis racquets', 'buy tennis raquet', 'tennis racquet online' etc.
PPC ads appear outside the organic listing, generally at the top or to the right on most search networks including Google. Many businesses run dual PPC/SEO campaigns in order to build traffic from both paid (ppc) and non-paid (organic) search results.
– Your ad is listed within hours
– Via bidding, you have control of your ad positioning
– You select the keywords that your ad will appear for
– It's up to you what you pay for your ads
How keyword targeting works
You the ad creator have total control over which keywords will trigger your ad. This creates the opportunity for your ads to appear directly beside natural search results for the keywords that you've chosen. Using the above example, if you've chosen 'tennis raquets' as a keyword, when someone types 'tennis racquets' into a search engine your ad will appear alongside or above the natural results depending on the network you're advertising on and how much you've bid.
The inherent value of this targeting is that you're able to put your ads directly in front of people who are already searching for your product/service, hence are more likely interested in purchasing or at least entering your sales funnel.
Ad positioning
The exact positioning of your ad will depend on the level of your bid. You decide what you think a click is worth, and input this value in the ad network. This value will then be put up against advertisers bidding for the same keywords, and the highest bidders get preference of position. It's important to note that big is not the sole consideration of ad networks, many of the big players such as google reward ads with which are more relevant to the search query and or link to high quality landing pages.
As with all advertising mediums, the big dogs tend to muscle out the smaller guys with large budgets. However, this doesn't mean those with lower level budgets can't be successful with PPC, they just need to be more savvy with their spending. The best way to do this is by micro targeting keywords, bidding individually for these, and then building customized landing pages for particular keyword groups.
Check back next month for our article on how to compete with the big dogs in PPC.

On Tuesday, Gov. Pat Quinn signed the "Employment First Act" in an effort to expand competitive state agency employment opportunities to people with disabilities.
Under the law, state agencies have to coordinate and set up measurable goals and objectives in order to meet the state's priority of increasing its employment of people with disabilities. The Employment and Economic Opportunity for Persons with Disabilities Task Force is assigned with keeping track of the mission's progress.
"Every person in the Land of Lincoln should have the opportunity – regardless of the challenges they face – to pursue their dreams and achieve their full potential," Quinn said in a statement. "My goal is to make Illinois the nation's leading employer of people with disabilities. We've made historic progress to change Illinois through our Rebalancing Initiative and today, we are breaking down more barriers to increase employment opportunities for people with disabilities in our state."
Quinn first proposed the measure during his 2013 State of the State address. State Sen. Daniel Biss (D-Evanston) and State Rep. Esther Golar (D-Chicago) sponsored the act, HB 2591.
"People with disabilities deserve an equal opportunity to receive gainful employment," Golar said in a statement. "This legislation will level the playing field and make sure that no one is denied employment at a state agency simply because they have a disability."
The law takes effect immediately.

Should DNPs be called doctors?
great discussion of it here. Love to hear your thoughts on this.
About Serenyd
Joined: Dec '03; Posts: 115; Likes: 18Dec 24, '08There's a sticky thread in the Advanced Practice (NP) forum which discusses this in detail.Last edit by ghillbert on Dec 24, '08Dec 25, '08Here is my perspective as a PhD student (who WILL use the title of Dr. in the academic/research setting:
1.) Physicians do not 'own' the title of 'Dr.' Those with doctoral degrees own the title. Physicians do, however, own the title of 'Physician.'
2.) DNPs aren't going to go around in the clinical setting calling themselves doctors. They are proud to be nurses.
3.) The AMA does not get to decide who gets to own the title of Dr.- This is an academic title. I find it ironic that the AMA is trying so hard to demand that physicians gain ownership of this title, when they borrowed the term from academia in the first place. When you think of it this way, they have not earned the title of "Doctor."Dec 27, '08I don't see why you wouldn't be refered to as a doctor. I had to call my english teacher in high school Dr. so&so because she "earned" her doctor title, and what about "doctor" phil? Its the same principle, I think that if you spend that much time in school then you deserve the respect. When I (eventually) have my doctorate your damn right I will be called Dr. , Dr. Nurse that is, lol....Dec 28, '08Only if they specify they are a nurse....
....'Dr' within the hospital refers to physician - in the eyes of the public.
Over time this can change by educating patients / public on changes in nursing as a professionLast edit by just_cause on Dec 28, '08Dec 28, '08I think that anyone acheiving a doctoral degree earns the right to be addressed as Dr. This is going to be an interesting fight. And as more DNP's graduate we will see it flare. Sadly nurses do not realize that if we would band together we would be a force to reckon with stronger than the AMA.Dec 28, '08Quote from BBFRNDepends on where you work.
2.) DNPs aren't going to go around in the clinical setting calling themselves doctors. They are proud to be nurses.
We have one DNP who is an NP that practices at our hospital. She is referred to as "Dr. Smith". When she walks into the room of a patient, she introduces herself as Dr. Smith and tells patients that she is a nurse practitioner.Dec 28, '08The ED at UVA's Medical Center has 4 RNs with PhD degrees (and one more working on his DNP). The Medical Director (a physician) has indicated that since they have earned doctorates, the title of Dr should be used. Just as with BabyLady's case, staff are encouraged to use "Dr" when speaking of these nurses to patients.
I've seen one of them introduce herself to patients as "I'm Dr. Lastname, I am your nurse".
Patients can be educated about the changing face of medicine. Not all who wear long white coats are physicians. Not all women are RNs and men are doctors anymore. The title issue is just another teachable moment.

The ratings for the first episode were an impressive 179,000 for the 25-54 age group, which surpassed CNN and pleased Olbermann. The PR continued this week with an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman.Some noted that Olbermann used his new Current TV gig to criticize his former colleagues. "It may seem like score settling, but that's part of the Olbermann brand. Successful TV talk hosts are able to meld their personalities and their material," notes Time today. "Olbermann's gift on Countdown has been to turn his 'me against the Man' attitude into an 'us against the Man' mantra as he enjoins his audience to resist corporate power."After the jump, some more of this week's major media moves.Lindsay Czarniak has been named anchor and host at ESPN.
