Its that time again, where I go on to social media and see everything the world has been doing for the day. Suddenly, I see someone being unnecessarily rude to someone else, who, in my mind, does not deserve it. Theres a part of my spirit that says, "No, don't do it, pray or let it go." That part of my spirit is self-control, the part that controls my emotions, desires, and behaviors. I have to make a decision to either listen to it or go on a destructive path.
It seems like self-control is a foreign concept in our culture today, and its really sad because it is something that would help everyone be a little kinder, a little smarter, and a little better. Self- control is so important, not only morally but also in every aspect of life, like the physical. When I was in high school, I didn't exercise self-control with my eating and exercising, I gained a ton of weight over the years.
I wasn't happy with the way I looked, my body felt awful and I was always sick (Im still always sick but not for that reason). Once I took control of my eating habits and started exercising self- control, I lost weight and became happier with myself. Through college I also had to learn self-control when it came to the way I talked to people and the way I responded to things. Having anxiety sometimes makes that difficult but Im getting better.
Managing your emotions doesn't mean you don't express yourself; it means you stop short of hurting others and sabotaging yourself. -Sue Fitzmaurice
When we learn to control our thoughts, emotions, words, and actions our lives increase in goodness. We become lighter, and more like Christ, we are able to listen more clearly to Him when He speaks to us. Self- control is a trait of Jesus that saved me, Im much better emotionally and as a person. There are many things on the internet these days that made people want to spew out their opinions and emotions all over the page. However, doing that won't get anyone anywhere, it just shows that you haven't matured, you can't control yourself, and you are not kind.
Now, Im not saying let people walk over you, Jesus didn't even do that, what Im saying is think before you speak. Not only that but control your thoughts, they are powerful things. Here's a secret, satans only weapon against you…. is your thoughts. Our thoughts are the only way he can touch us. In order to combat that, we must be full of self-control and all the other fruits of the spirit so we won't be tempted.
For instance, when someone is hurt emotionally, it can really be bad for them and the people around them. Their thoughts will be daggers to themselves and their words will be swords to others. When a woman feels rejected, she may turn to an assortment of men for comfort that isn't real. A man who didn't feel loved by his father will embrace the things that help him to be pleasing to others so that he will feel accomplished but in his trail leaves broken hearts, and burned bridges.
When we control our thoughts, it saves us and the people around us. There is an internet saying, "KYS" it means "Kill yourself" someone got mad at my husband in one of his video games the other day and said this to him. Thankfully my husband laughed at it, and doesnt have depression. However, what if he had depression, that person wouldn't have helped him. You don't know what someone is going through, we only see a portion of persons life. Unless you are doing life with them you have no room for judgement or opinion.
Self- control needs to be more rampant, the less it is, the more unease the earth will see. As Christians, as God- lovers, we MUST exercise self- control daily and be intentional about it.If we don't, who says that we won't give into temptation again and again. Thats where addictions start, thats where deep holes are dug. Please, if you're struggling with anything, feel free to talk to me. I would much rather you tell me and lets think things through before you say something awful to someone else. It doesnt even have to be me, talk to someone you trust that has a level head and won't agree with everything you say.
Much love,

Taking on GERD to Enjoy the Dog Days of Summer
As a cancer survivor and financial counselor for an Indiana Hospital, Christine is especially aware maintaining a high quality of life. That's why in 2009 when crackers and milk couldn't alleviate the burning in her throat she experienced when sleeping, it was time for a doctor visit. After an examination of her esophagus and stomach with a flexible scope, Christine was diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD.
After the initial diagnosis, Christine was advised to make lifestyle modifications, including changing her diet to avoid "trigger foods," including caffeine, chocolate and licorice. She adjusted her diet and tried sleeping in an upright position on the couch. Unfortunately, she couldn't get relief from her burning throat. And the lack of sleep was having a huge impact on her day-to-day life. Soon she added a regimen of acid reducing proton pump inhibitor (PPI) medications, eventually increasing her dosage from a single daily pill to three. While the medications improved some of her reflux symptoms enough to tolerate, Christine was still experiencing trouble sleeping comfortably and wanted to find a better solution.
Medical mystery: is this really allergies, or maybe atypical reflux symptoms?
Following a routine annual examination, Christine was referred to of the surgical group in the hospital to discuss additional treatment options. The TIF® (transoral incisionless fundoplication) procedure was an obvious choice. "My doctor was the first person to explain that GERD was caused by an anatomical problem, and not a chemical one. This really made sense to me," she explains. After understanding this distinction, other things began to click for Christine as well. This was why all the diet and lifestyle changes she had made didn't work—they were addressing the wrong problem. Now she wondered if the nagging cough, raspy voice and chronic upper respiratory infections she was told were due to allergies might actually be connected to a malfunctioning valve, the mechanical issue her doctor described. She'd been taking time out of her life to be on the rigorous allergy shot schedule.
Go Time
After reviewing the information provided by her doctor, and doing her own research on the procedure, Christine felt ready for a more permanent treatment solution. She was anxious to get off of the high dosages of PPIs. She realized they were just "putting a bandage" on her acid reflux symptoms. Having undergone radiation for her cancer, Christine was all too aware of the impact of medication side effects. She'd read about bone issues related to long-term PPI use, and after fracturing a rib, was even more motivated to undergo the procedure.
In August 2015 Christine underwent the TIF Procedure. She welcomed a new addition to her life – a rescue golden-doodle puppy named Bailey. Christine filled her recovery time by training and walking Bailey. The extra bonding time allowed her new family member to settle in his new home. She also put her creativity to use in the kitchen. She found she could easily stick to the post-procedure diet of liquid and soft foods by draining the meat out of her favorite soups. This technique retained the soup's meaty flavor; they were satisfying and compliant with the post-procedure diet soft texture instruction. "What surprised me the most was the speed and ease of my recovery," she says. "I had no trouble with the procedure, and I only wish that I'd known about it sooner!"
No more cough so no more shots for allergies
Christine knew she had made the right decision when she immediately began sleeping well following her procedure. Family members noticed a change in her energy, which she attributes to no more trouble sleeping. After returning to work, a colleague commented that the rasp in her voice was gone. Importantly, her intuition about the allergies was spot on, her chronic cough was atypical GERD, no more time consuming allergy shots! In the year since having the TIF procedure, Christine is no longer plagued with chronic upper repository infections. She can hold a conversation without coughing or sounding ill. Most of all she is thrilled to be off of the PPI medications. Ever the financial counselor, she estimates she's already saved $800 in prescription costs and doctor visits.
Getting back to herself—Christine gets to live a normal life again
When asked what she most enjoys about acid reflux-free life after the procedure, Christine says that she can now socialize with friends, enjoy wine and food without worrying about being up all night or "paying for it" the next day. "I want anyone who is considering the procedure to know what success I've had with it," Christine says. "It's completely changed my life."

Panel: Much of financial bailout work contracted out, shielded from public view
Thursday, October 14, 2010; 12:00 AM
The Treasury Department has relied extensively on outside contractors in its execution of the financial bailout, an oversight committee said in a new report, shielding much of the work of the massive government effort from public view.
The Congressional Oversight Panel, formed as part of the 2008 legislation that created the Troubled Assets Relief Program, said in a report published early Thursday and made available to reporters in advance that the Treasury has taken "significant steps" to ensure that private contractors were used appropriately and that some experts have praised the department for going "above and beyond" the usual standards for government contracting.
But the reliance on private contractors - the Treasury has 220 employees working on TARP, compared with 600 at one major contractor, Fannie Mae - has also made the government's execution of TARP less subject to review by outsiders and raises the potential for conflicts of interest, the report said.
"Private companies today fulfill many of the TARP's most important functions," Sen. Ted Kaufman (D-Del.), chairman of the oversight panel, said in a conference call with reporters Wednesday. "It invites many concerns that wouldn't exist otherwise."
A Treasury Department official argued that the government needed to rely on private firms to get TARP, enacted in the midst of a deep financial crisis in the fall of 2008, up and running quickly.
"Treasury's demand for skills, resources and expertise was urgent, and we quickly needed qualified assistance," spokesman Mark Paustenbach said. "At the same time, our contracting process remains open and transparent."
The report notes some ways that the contracting process limited transparency. Contractors, for example, are not subject to the Freedom of Information Act. And they can hire subcontractors whose compensation and involvement are not publicly disclosed.
Moreover, the Treasury Department relies on law firms, investment management firms and others to disclose any conflicts of interest themselves.
"As a result, the public has only limited assurance that all potential conflicts have been disclosed and addressed," the report said, stating that the government should develop an independent mechanism to monitor conflicts.
The oversight panel had particular skepticism about the use of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, two mortgage finance firms effectively controlled by the government, to carry out mortgage relief programs. Both firms "have a history of profound corporate mismanagement," the report said, "and both companies have fallen short in aspects of their performance," including a data error by Fannie Mae and, for Freddie Mac, problems meeting deadlines.
Moreover, efforts to help small, disadvantaged businesses through the contracting process have not always been effective. One such business, having received such an award, delegated about 80 percent of the contract to a large business, the report said.
"The panel is concerned by the lack of outreach by Treasury to find qualified minority-owned businesses to participate in the TARP," the report said.

A Magnifying Glass And Amplifier for Reid Genauer and AOD
When Reid Genauer left Strangefolk for life as a Masters of Business Administration student, it seemed as if his creative side lost out to the realities of life and frustrations of being a member of a band. Time on campus and away from the concert stage didn't last long as Genauer found a quartet of musicians, which he named Assembly of Dust, to back him up on new material. Soon, he realized that he was part of another band, and, more importantly, a better situation.
Bearing the personality of classic rock's better elements concise songwriting and deceptively casual arrangements, Genauer discusses AOD's latest, "Recollection."
Explaining how the others moved from being back up musicians to a part of the whole, he said, "This is really, as a band, our second [studio] album because the first one was, for lack of a better word, a solo record. It just so happened that the band that I assembled was Assembly of Dust. Going into the recording process, I wasn't really sure whether or not we were going to be a band or not. But I thought we would. That was a real defining moment for us. Since then, the records have been approached a little more holistically, if you will."
JPG: Looking at your upcoming tour schedule, Assembly of Dust is set to play a bunch of festivals Langerado, Green Apple, Wakarusa, All Good. Which brings up this. I'm listening to the album and it's a nice mellow intimate experience is a challenge to present that music in a festival setting?
Reid Genauer: Whether it's a festival or just a club, we rock more than our album does, partly by design and partly by default. The design part is for a studio record you have the ability to be a little more subtle because, one, the sound is perfect. There's less distractions both for you and for the listener in that there are not other people coming in and out of the room and talking, volume-wise. It's a pristine environment. It's a chance to be more subtle and speak and show your softer side. That's appealing to us. It's something that we don't get to do.
We do have a fairly tolerant audience, but by and large people want to be hit over the head when they come to a show. And, truthfully, that's what you want to do, this massive kind of kung fu fight. So, the live show, is based on the environment and on the energy and the anticipation of being in front of a live audience, and just the expectation of what a live show is.
JPG: Do you find some people who discover you by seeing you live and then they get Recollection are a little surprised? Are there others who like the album and then see you live and ask, You guys are loud. What happened'?
RG: Right. I haven't experienced much of the latter. Most people that discover the record are pleased, come to the show and they get enough sensitive moments that they feel warm all over and still get what they came for. Probably, some of our diehard fans will listen to the record and be surprised by the restraint, but again it was intentional. The tempos are a little more moderate than we do them live. Like I said, the playing is certainly more subtle.
All of us had listened back to records that we had made back in the past and felt like they fall flat because you're trying so hard to recreate the live thing, and, ultimately, that's not what you're doing. You're not playing live and so we were very, very measured and intentional about trying to use the studio for what it's best for, which is this magnifying glass or this amplifier that enables people to see you in your naked truth.
The other thing is, if you give people the option between rocking out and mellowing out, I think a lot of people prefer, especially in this scene, to rock out. But, a lot of our fans come for those poignant moments. Just to draw parallels between the Grateful Dead — I don't have delusions of grandeur, there was something magical there that I don't think anybody'll ever repeat — but some of the most powerful moments were the ballads. It's really about the dynamics and the juxtaposition of volume versus space or volume versus quiet.
JPG: AOD's last album, the live album, The Honest Hour, captured those elements of songcraft, intimacy and "rocking out." Did you have to consciously remind each other or did Recollection producer Josh Pryor encourage you to drop the energy level from the stage to the studio in order to get that this time around?
RG: No, the primary way we did it was through tempos, the production values and how it was mixed. Instrumentally, it's a little less about what was laid [down] and more about how it was presented.
JPG: Are you referring to space between the notes as well?
RG: Yeah, and tone, and where all the instruments sit and how they're EQ'ed, what effects are on them. The best parallel I can draw is on some of the nights when we have the most fun, when the crowd feels it the most, when the sound is good and when the energy is good and you can actually play quietly. Because it's the difference of trying to have a conversation in a quiet room with somebody you know versus shouting at a stranger at a bar. There's a place for both, but, ultimately, having a conversation where you can hear somebody is more rewarding. That's how I would summarize what we were going for, to be able to have that intimacy. Quiet intensity is how I would put it.
JPG: Going back to the Grateful Dead, I see the parallel of that band rocking out for a number of years and then doing something much quieter and intimate on Workingman's Dead and American Beauty. It might have been easier for them due to their backgrounds to make that music.
RG: I think that's a great example. Talking to the scene, Billy Breathes from Phish is certainly not what one might expect after seeing from a live show. Those are the albums that I gravitate towards. Neil Young, I feel the same way. I'm not as captured by his rock sound as I am by things like Harvest.
JPG: When you're talking about the Grateful Dead, were you like me where you got into the band and through them sprouted this wider net of musical interests?
RG: I would say them and The Beatles were really the gateway for me. It was like, Wow, this really tickles my taste buds.' Then, it was The Allman Brothers and Traffic and dare I say, Steve Miller Band, Crosby, Stills and Nash. It was like discovering all this music that the world already knew about, but as a 14 year old in 1984 or 86 or whatever it was when I was 14 was just totally new to me. In the early 80s to mid-80s, sure there was good music happening, but a lot of it was A Flock of Seagulls kind of stuff that didn't really speak to me. And that stuff was only 10 years old at the time and it's still really, really relevant.
JPG: A number of artists popped into my head while listening to Recollection. The album does sound like something made in the early 70s, as if someone found the master tapes and finally put out. Do those comparisons sit well?
RG: That's great. That's the music I love. That's the music that to a large extent that really resonates for us, collectively, as a band. Another example of quiet intensity is J.J. Cale. His records just sound so effortless. Clapton to an extent as well. Steely Dan, most of their records feel pretty effortless. It's not that they're listless. It's not that there's no energy. It's that they're subtle, that notion of quiet intensity. Those are all great examples.
JPG: Keyboardist Nate Wilson contributes more to the songwriting on Recollection. How does the process work itself out? And what do the other members bring into it?
RG: We all have similar tastes in music and I think instinctively, with a few little signposts and a little bit of coaching, when Nate and I bring a song to the band, nine out of 10 times they just nail it. They just get it. There's not a lot of teeth pulling. Once in awhile you get one that doesn't come to life naturally and usually those fade to the back of the repertoire.
JPG: When you do come up to them with a song, how fully developed are your demos?
RG: It depends on the song. Nate, when he writes a tune sometimes he'll do a full demo. Just writes it all himself. The ones that he and I write together, I'll send an MP3 of me strumming a tune on the guitar to the whole band with maybe a little intro note, Thinking of this one as a Paul Simon-y Calypso thing. However you describe it. A Beatle-y thing. Kind of a J.J. Cale groove for the verse with a CSN thing for the chorus.'
JPG: Do you really mention other artists to get what you want?
RG: Absolutely!
JPG: I read that you felt like you were losing control in Strangefolk, and that was a big reason for you leaving. Do you feel more in control now or what have you done to have a degree of control so that you don't fall into that situation of not enjoying it again?
RG: I guess it's just a whole variety of things. A lot of it just stems from mature communication, in terms of what you're cranking out creatively and then just how the band functions. Some of it is a function of age. Some of it is the function of experience. Some of it is the function of personality. It's almost like they say about your second marriage. I've never said that. If it's true that second marriages have better stats than firsts, I would say it's for those reasons.
JPG: The idea that in a second marriage you already know what to avoid from before and what you expect from one another.
RG: Both in terms of how you relate to other people musically and personally and also how they relate to you.
JPG: You mentioned earlier about the 'scene'. Obviously, you're referring to the jamband scene. Over the past several years of talking to musicians who would be viewed as being part of the scene, there seems to be more displeasure or resistance discussing or being part of the jamband style. They'd rather emphasize songs over jams.
RG: There's a few reasons for it in my estimation. One is that, again, to tie this back to the Grateful Dead, it's fair too in this context. They were sort of the Godfather of the jambands, but when we look at their roots and what they were composed of you had folk and blues and early rock — Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly — as a centerpiece, which really was about traditional songwriting and storytelling. Then, they infused it with a jazz philosophy. I don't even think their music was in terms of the composition of the notes that were played that jazzy, but it was more the ethos that they borrowed, which was improvisation. The Allman Brothers, the same thing. And there are other bands too. Traffic, the Doobie Brothers for that matter. There was this balance that occurred. The center of the band was around those more crafted traditions, and then they allowed themselves the liberty of taking the songs out.
What happened, at some point, and I think largely with the popularity of Phish, was that the improv piece really became the focus. For Phish, they are such phenomenal musicians and, as a listener, Phish is interesting when they play a 20-minute jam because they're smoking.
I'm getting to my point, which is that there's two reasons why I think musicians are more resistant to talk about the jamband scene and jams. One is that what happened after Phish is you've got all these bands that just got out there and wanked. There's still some that are great, but there are a lot of bands that don't say anything. There's no song. Maybe they have a smoking guitar player and moderate players everywhere else. For me it falls flat. That's one piece of it. They forgot that you either have to smoke on your instrument or you have to have great tunes or both. If you have neither, it's a shallow thing.
Two, this is the biggest one, is that the media doesn't like to talk about jambands. It's a stigma. It's like the kiss of death in terms of rock critics and radio and all that stuff. I think a lot of musicians are scared because you're going to get this freakish stigma that you're this outcast, marginalized, irrelevant artist. It's a shame and a frustration to me because there's so many artists that the jamband fans are so welcoming and so open to so much that they should be celebrated as the music aficionados that they are. And not relegated as this left of center margin.
JPG: Is that something that is discussed among peers, that sort of struggle, because you have fans that are totally loyal and willing to go down just about any creative path a favorite artist takes yet it can keep your career from blossoming and being what should rightfully be heard from sea to shining sea?
RG: I think it depends on the band. I think that there are some bands that from their inception are just so right in the sweet spot of what people want to hear within the jamband scene that it makes sense just to dedicate their musical career to doing that as best they can. Then there are others where the world is missing something or there are people who would enjoy it who are missing it if that's all that they focus on. Leftover Salmon is one that will go down in the history books as a jamband, but when you listen to something like their Nashville Sessions album with Del McCoury and Lucinda Williams and Taj Mahal. Man, that is just Americana. And I don't think most of the Americana fans ever heard that record.
JPG: It's a shame that it's not justifiably heard on wider basis.
RG: It's true. There's an upside and downside. The upside is that, and I don't want to sound like a jaded anti-mainstream guy cause I like some mainstream music, but there just isn't a home for a lot of non-commercial sounding music these days. There are a few exceptions of commercial success with non-commercial sounding music. I applaud that. Norah JonesDave Matthews, it's definitely not standard pop. Even John Mayer. It's like real music and I applaud the fact that Jack Johnson, Ray LaMontagne…I'm excited that the mainstream has accepted them, but by and large musicians who are not dancing or wearing stupid hats are not getting embraced by mainstream media. So, it's refreshing that there are pockets of people who want something other than that.
And it's not just the jamband scene. The indie rock scene is really vibrant as well in that regard. They're starting to cross over more and more if you look at the lineups for the festivals. But they're the same. Even though they have different musical aesthetics, they're looking for something with a little more crunch and a little less noodling. Their musical taste or philosophies are similar. They want music beyond the mainstream.
JPG: It's funny that you mentioned Steely Dan earlier. I recall years before the two reunited, a column in "Hits" magazine wondered what category the band would fit in based on the current music climate.
RG: There's so many artists who, back to the jambands conversationwhat the hell is J..J. Cale? Is he a jamband? Eric Clapton, is he a jamband? I just think of them as roots musicians, country, but they jam.
JPG: Clapton gets a break because of his Classic Rock background. Of course that doesn't mean that AOR stations would be playing much of the album he did with J.J. Cale because it's new, not old and familiar. Looking at the situation you almost can't blame Rod Stewart for making a rock album of cover tunes because, at least, it'll attract a Boomer audience that may buy a CD rather than a younger one, which will pick and choose what it likes on iTunes. We could be talking about this for hours.
RG: It's pretty interesting. It's the core of what I talk about. The thing that's exciting to me is that there's just more, whether it's a jamband scene, the internet at large, the indie rock scene or the singer/songwriter scene or the bluegrass scene, there's just more and more ways for people to have access to real music. That's great. There'll always be a place for pop music. Again, I'm not knocking it. Whatever's entertaining. People like watching shows about funeral homes. They find that entertaining. Fine. But I think for a long time, there's been frustration that there wasn't access to music that was tickling people in the right way, largely because, as you say, radio and other mass appeal things, they're not playing it.
JPG: It's like the last four, five, six Widespread Panic albums. I keep thinking, Why isn't the local AOR station playing anything from this?' It totally fits next to whatever act you've heard five million times before.
RG: Right
JPG: You're currently touring to promote Recollection. Are you still working as a Director of Creative Marketing with eMusic? And is that a by-product of earning your MBA?
RG: Yeah, this is a perfect place for me. It sounds a little corny or a little gimmicky, but I feel lucky to be able to live a life of passion around music. I get to be myself all day long and I get to talk shop about music all day long. And eMusic is one of those outlets that I was talking about where people who want something beyond the mainstream can find it. It's just amazing to me how many people there are! We have 250,000 to 275,000 subscribers. Not a single one of them is looking for Britney Spears. That's just pretty amazing, especially in the face of all these mom and pop indie record stores going out of business, all these great radio stations going out of business, all these great clubs that have gone out of business, all these great independent bands that have broken up over the years. I'm not saying that all those things are coming to an end, but it's just nice to see that there is a community that can support a business that's founded on something other than commercial music.
JPG: Knowing others who have been in the program, getting an MBA is a difficult thing
RG: It's by far the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. It's like running a marathon for two years. It was brutally, brutally challenging.
JPG: Do you think it helped how you now look at things, other than something obvious such as a contract, but how you look at life and playing music?
RG: Oh, absolutely! A, it gave me a renewed sense of confidence where I could take no prisoners. B, it gave me a real expanded worldview, for a variety of reasons, for what I studied because of who I met…people from around the world. And also because of the kind of people I met there, people who were taking on the world in gulps. And that's really intoxicating to be around. It doesn't mean that you have to gulp Wall Street. You can gulp whatever you want. It's just people who are ingesting life. I found that really inspiring.

Once in a lifetime
Finding a way to short-circuit sepsis
They said it couldn't be done.
"Researchers were getting discouraged. They were saying that this disease is too severe and too complex," says Gordon R. Bernard, M.D., an internationally known sepsis researcher and assistant vice chancellor for Research at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Frustrated, some scientists argued that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had set impossibly high standards for treating near-death patients in the intensive care unit. The FDA deemed an ICU drug efficacious only if the patient was still alive after 28 days. Despite the criticism, the agency stuck to its "28-day, all-cause mortality endpoint" required for approval.
Then in 1994, Bernard received a phone call from investigators at Eli Lilly & Co. in Indianapolis. They had patented a recombinant human activated protein C (APC) as a potential heart drug, but had decided not to pursue if for that use.
APC has anti-coagulant and anti-inflammatory properties. It can become depleted during an infection and as a result, clots can form indiscriminately throughout the body, cutting off the blood supply to vital organs. In this way, the initial infection can set off a chain of reactions, leading to multi-organ system failure and death.
Searching for another use for their compound, Lilly scientists noticed that in previous studies in baboons, APC had shown some efficacy in severe sepsis. They asked Bernard, chief of the Division of Allergy, Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Vanderbilt, to design a small study of about 100 to 150 people to see if their protein could produce effects in severe sepsis in humans sufficient to warrant further investigation.
After treating 131 patients, Bernard reported back to Lilly in 1996 that their compound, later named Xigris, may have saved the lives of some critically ill patients. Also, it clearly replenished the body's supply of protein C that had been sapped by infection and improved the coagulopathy, or coagulation disorders, caused by sepsis.
Lilly opted to continue development. Bernard was appointed principal investigator of a large-scale multi-centered, international, Phase III trial, known as PROWESS. The trial tested Xigris against a placebo in 1,690 patients worldwide who were in imminent danger of dying from severe sepsis.

The media and fans can believe what they want regarding the relationship between Joba Chamberlain and Kevin Youkilis.
However, the Yankees' new third baseman sounded sincere yesterday on a conference call talking about what he thinks of Chamberlain.
"It's not a big deal to me. If it was that big of a deal, I wouldn't be signing with the Yankees,'' said Youkilis, who received a voice message from Chamberlain and plans to return it. "A lot of it has been made bigger with the media and the fans. You look at my stats and I have been hit [by a pitch] 99 times. There have been multiple pitchers who have hit me. Joba has only hit me once, [last season as a White Sox]. It's not a big deal. We are teammates now and we have the same goals of going to spring training and winning.''
In 2007, Chamberlain threw two fastballs over Youkilis' head and was suspended for two games. One year later, Chamberlain threw up and in to Youkilis, sending him to the dirt. Youkilis responded by going toward the mound, but was restrained.
Now, they are teammates after Youkilis, who will turn 34 in March, passed a physical to finalize a one-year deal worth $12 million that places the third baseman on the other side of the emotional Red Sox-Yankees rivalry.
"It's not a story, it's one of those things people love to talk about,'' Youkilis said. "It's a new teammate and we are going to take the field together. When he goes out there to pitch hopefully I can play great defense behind him.''
To get an understanding of what switching sides was about, Youkilis talked with Johnny Damon, who unlike Youkilis, moved from the Red Sox to the Yankees as a free agent without a stop elsewhere.
"Johnny said I will love the experience,'' said Youkilis, who will get an early taste of the rivalry from the Yankees side since they host the Red Sox on Opening Day, April 1, at Yankee Stadium.
Youkilis was being courted by other clubs, but when the Yankees discovered in November that Alex Rodriguez would require hip surgery that will cost him four to six months and possibly the entire 2013 season, the Yankees contacted agent Joe Bick.
"They jumped out of nowhere. It was a surprise, we never thought that was going to come. I was humbled and amazed the Yankees were in the picture,'' Youkilis said. "I never thought I would be on the other side of the rivalry but I felt the New York Yankees were the best fit to try and win another World Series.''
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman is counting on Youkilis to play regularly in Rodriguez's absence.
"He will be the every-day third baseman until Alex comes back,'' said Cashman, who wouldn't speculate on the length of Rodriguez's absence, but who has been told by doctors July is the earliest Rodriguez could return from hip surgery slated for next month. "Alex is expected back, but there are no guarantees. Hopefully, we will get a thumbs up after a difficult surgery.''
Youkilis hasn't played more than 122 games in the past three seasons and batted a career-low, .235 last year when he was dealt from the Red Sox to the White Sox and had to deal with his family being in California while he was in Chicago.

On this 66th Independence Day of Pakistan on 14th August 2012, let us prepare ourselves to discuss this theme and to commit ourselves at least one cause for the betterment of Pakistan no matter how small it is. MQM has a remarkable history of no compromises on Pakistan's security, even during the worst days of operation cleanup in 1992 when more than 15000 workers of MQM were brutally murdered. Mr. Altaf Hussain always teaches the lessons of patriotism to his workers and instructs them to keep the prosperity and safety of Pakistan on top of their priorities. These are his unmatched efforts that a whole new generation of Pakistan has been nurtured with patriotism. Also, in the midst of the several crises, MQM always pointed out that the freedom is a journey not a destination. Today, as we are caught in a spiral of unprecedented devastated turmoil, we write to remind ourselves that independence is a responsibility not a privilege.
Our freedom may not be perfect, but it is a blessing we must cherish nonetheless. It is part of that responsibility to make the quality of that freedom better for each successive generation. We have not done a good job of meeting this responsibility but our morals are high to keep our journey continue. This year we face the additional responsibility to play our collective and/or individual part in bringing national harmony to this country. This responsibility is just one part of the greater responsibility that we must all remember on this day. This is a responsibility to make the experience of freedom for each subsequent generation more complete and more profound.
Please share with us what you will do this Independence Day as a part of your responsibility in bringing prosperity and strength to Pakistan.
Let us end with the song that has played on the pages of our minds each year on this day as we celebrate our patriotism. Indeed, YEH WATAN HAMARA HEY……………………….

Stanford secondary gets ready for WSU's 'Air Raid'
It's an "Air Raid" week for the Stanford secondary, but there's a new wrinkle to the Washington State offense: It also can unleash speedy running backs Gerard Wicks, James Williams and Jamal Morrow.
The heart of the Cougars' attack remains the passing game, which explains why junior Luke Falk is the nation's active career leader in passing yards per game with 360.0.
On Saturday, the Cougars rushed for 280 yards and six touchdowns — two each by Wicks, Morrow and Williams — in a 51-33 rout of Oregon. Of course, Falk also threw for 371 yards, completing 36 of 48 passes without an interception. He threw to 11 receivers, and Gabe Marks, his top receiver this season, had only two catches for 20 yards, including a 7-yard touchdown.
"They force you to defend everyone," Stanford secondary coach Duane Akina said. "There's no one go-to receiver. Marks is special, but they don't go out of the way to get him the football. They're an equal-opportunity crew."
Akina coached defensive backfields at Texas for 13 years and frequently had to devise coverages against WSU head coach Mike Leach's pass-happy attacks while Leach was coaching Texas Tech.
"We banged heads quite a few times," Akina said. "They knocked us out of the national championship game (in 2008) when (Michael) Crabtree caught that back-shoulder ball. I remember that clearly. When they're running the ball, they're a tough offense. He's proven that since he was at Kentucky."
Akina's unit will face Leach's Cougars on Saturday night without injured starting cornerbacks Alijah Holder and Quenton Meeks, who had two interceptions against them last year in Stanford's 30-28 win in Pullman.
It took Falk a while to get going in that game. At the end of the first quarter, he was 2-for-8 for minus-1 yard passing with two sacks. From then on, though, he was 33-for-53 for 355 yards and two touchdowns.
"They get a lot of kicks at the can" in the Leach offense, Akina said. "Eventually a guy like (Falk) gets in a rhythm."
The absence of Holder and Meeks means Terrence Alexander and Alameen Murphy will start at cornerback again, with redshirt freshman Frank Buncom rotating in at times. The injuries hurt, Akina said, because Holder and Meeks "were playing at a very high level."
Against the shorthanded secondary, Washington had 210 yards passing with just six incompletions in 21 attempts last Friday in the Huskies' 44-6 rout. "They out-executed us across the board," Akina said.
Washington State's spread offense is content to march downfield with short passes.
"They play basketball on a football field," safety-nickel back Zach Hoffpauir said. "They dish the ball around. We've got to be solid with our techniques, solid with our coverages and know what they're trying to do to us."
Falk's quick deliveries force defensive backs to make crisp tackles in the open field. "They just want positive yardage," Hoffpauir said. "They don't want to see the ball hit the ground. … Every now and then, they'll take their shots down field, but (usually) they just wine and dine you all the way down."

Reasons For People's Preference To Stay At Transient Houses
Sep 15
In the innbusiness, today transient house is a worth included presence. Individuals like to stay at those. This article, in light of current circumstances, it was not about any movie star or cricketer; it was about the way people incline toward neighborhood guest houses over extravagant hotels. Essentially, visitor lodges returned into style before long. In fact, both corporate and likewise family people pick holds up instead of first class lodgings.
The Purposes Behind Individuals' Decision
For me, it's not something astonishing as I love staying in a visitor hold up as opposed to an exorbitant motel. I will elucidate the essential reasons in whatever is left of the bit of my article.
Money Related Retreat
As we as a whole realize that, the overall financial adversity is one of the main roles of people to show more energy for guest house settlement. Considering the present situation of the world economy, most by far can't hold up at the expense of a remote escape today, and you can expect that this example will continue for a long time. Despite for the people who support staying at home, holidaying on a budgetary arrangement is a better than anaverage option. This kind of accommodation is amazingly conspicuous, as this is the most fiscally insightful spot to stay in.
Notwithstanding the likelihood that you're not a spending pilgrim, here are some considerable clarifications for the colossal pervasiveness of guest houses over exorbitant five-star lodgings.
Feeling At Home Environment
The expression "visitor lodge" generally invites pictures of muddled rooms, worn bed sheet and nonappearance of workplaces. In the event that you're assuming in the same line, the chances are that in any case you're abiding already. These days, guest houses are in vogue, elaborate and specifically pleasing. The rooms of these lodges are completely immaculate, without a considerable measure of chaos or enhancements around. This gives you a plain feeling – something you really require when you're out amidst a leave of absence. They offer every one of the offices that one can get at a star lodging however in a way that makes you feel at home.
Brilliant Experience
Previously, guest inns were little and generally asserted by people from common laborers establishments. In any case, today, they're furthermore standard among business visionaries and corporate people. In addition, proprietors of these guest houses when in doubt have a spot with humble establishments and know the exact solicitations of their customers. In this way, they figure out how to guarantee that their customers feel straightforward and pleasing. This individual relationship breeds a family asan environment – the top requirement for any event devotee.
Cooking Blessing
By far most of these lodgings have cooking spaces, and customers can use this zone to their will. Such spaces are not generally open in five-star motels. Other than saving you a lot of money, you can eat as showed by your slant, even in a remote territory.
Things being what they are, the place would you say you are arranging your next occasion? Plan and book a transient house to get all that one needs when far from home.

Welcome to my digital home where I share adventures about life, inspiration and art. Hope you have a nice stay!
A little about me. Texas Southern Alumni. Mom. Author. Accidental Entrepreneur. Accidental you asked? Yes, accidental. You see, being an entrepreneur was never, ever on my radar. Not even a blip. My path was like most: go to college, get a degree, settle into a career and retire. That's it. Do not pass go.....
Then one day something happened. I can't put my finger on it because somewhere along the way, my life began to change. My interests began to change and I was also changing in the process. "Growth." So here I am part-time entrepreneur. It's hard work and I have failed a few times but I continue to show up. The journey and the courage to keep going is what truly matters.

Adults seeking baptism need to proceed through the Rite of Initiation of Adults (RCIA program with the assumption that their baptism in the Catholic Church signifies their desire to become Catholic as well. RCIA will prepare the adults for the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, and Reconciliation. Please contact Della Doss at 972.727.1177, ext. 2230 if you are interested in this program.

Royan was the project that followed Paris. On the Atlantic coast, Royan was a fair distance from our base in Belgium. Moreover, the team worked in difficult weather conditions in one straight stretch with the Concrete Flow team stationed on site from start to finish. Royan was technically a demanding project that combined a challenging clover-leaf bowl with a difficult street section.

Garfield Heights (Monday, November 22, 2010) – Just in time for Thanksgiving travel, the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) today activated the latest technology available to motorists. Message boards will now give Cleveland motorists up-to-date driving information before they get behind the wheel and during their commutes.
The Intelligent Transportation System or "ITS" is designed to provide drivers with up-to-the-minute traffic information both before they leave home or work and on the roadway. Now motorists can access online traffic cameras by the simple click of the mouse and view drive time messages on recently lit highway message boards and online at www.BuckeyeTraffic.org.
During the past several months, crews on behalf of the Department have been busy installing a series of traffic cameras, Dynamic Message Signs (DMS) and Highway Advisory Radios (HAR) around greater Cleveland. Motorists will now see nine new DMS along Interstates and State Routes around greater Cleveland including: Interstate 90, Interstate 71, Interstate 77, Interstate 480, and State Route 2.
When complete, the entire Greater Cleveland region ITS system will include approximately 83 traffic cameras, 29 dynamic message boards, 26 vehicle detectors and seven highway advisory radios throughout Cuyahoga, Lorain, Medina, Summit, Portage and Lake Counties.
Motorists in the Akron/Canton region will also benefit from this new technology. The new ITS system will include approximately 64 traffic cameras, 18 dynamic message boards, 18 vehicles detectors and two highway advisory radios throughout Medina, Summit, Portage and Stark Counties.
The $18.2 million ITS system is funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and the entire project is scheduled to be complete in September 2011. Only minor impacts to traffic are expected as part of the project. The latest traffic information is available 24 hours a day at www.BuckeyeTraffic.org.
ATTENTION MEMBERS OF THE MEDIA: Photo/Video OpportunityDigital Messaging Signs (DMS) are available for photo/video at the following locations: I-90 eastbound at Clague Road, I-90 westbound at Superior Avenue, I-90 westbound at Riverside Drive, I-480 eastbound at West 220th Street, I-480 eastbound at SR 94, I-480 westbound at SR 17, I-71 northbound at Denison Avenue, I-77 northbound at Fleet Avenue and State Route 2 at Newell Street.

According to a new poll put out by Public Policy Polling (PPP) Fox News is losing credibility. It seems only 41% of voters trust the information coming from the network, while 46% do not. However the majority of people polled by the PPP were seen as logical thinkers who seek truth over fiction. In a separate poll put out by Polling Paranoid People (PPP) Fox News has seen solid gains.
Fox News released a statement regarding both polling results:
It has come to our attention that our network is losing credibility amongst logical thinkers. We knew this day would come eventually, but take it all with a grain of salt. We are not disheartened because as we understand it our base of faithful followers seems to be holding strong if not increasing. We pride ourselves in providing assurance and fiction-based facts to those who need to hear what the voices in their head already tell them. Our network provides an essential service to those who believe the world is out to get them, and we plan to make sure they continue believing this. We will not be dismayed by losing those who seek the truth, but rather relieved that we can now increase our volume of myths and rabble-rousing to up our viewing base.
It would appear Fox News will not change its course of action when reporting the news, but will instead change its slogan from "Fair and Balanced" to " We know what you want to hear." It will be interesting, to say the least, to see where Fox News will bring its broadcasting endeavors in the future.

British Airways has halted all flights to Liberia and Sierra Leone for one month due to the outbreak of Ebola in the region.
The airline added in a statement that it would keep the routes under review: "We have temporarily suspended our flights to and from Liberia and Sierra Leone until 31 August 2014 due to the deteriorating public health situation in both countries," it said.
"The safety of our customers, crew and ground teams is always our top priority and we will keep the route under constant review in the coming weeks.
"Customers with tickets on those routes are being offered a range of options including a full refund and the ability to rebook their flights to a later date."
The news comes after a person from Wales who had recently returned from West Africa absented themselves from work and confined themselves to their home after believing they may have caught the virus.
Sky News reports that public Health Wales says it is monitoring the individual's condition, but it is unlikely the person has the virus.
"The individual does not have symptoms of Ebola and there are no cases of Ebola in Wales.
"We are alert to the possibility of Ebola cases in the UK given the outbreak in West Africa and we remain vigilant to unexplained illness in people who have travelled from the area."

Our people are the essence of our firm. We take pride in providing exceptional personal service combined with a deep understanding of our clients' business priorities and legal requirements.

For employers, the growing complexity of legal compliance in the workplace is a major issue. CEOs, managers, and human resources professionals must cope with constantly changing legislation affecting the employment relationship. They need prompt, comprehensive response from their legal advisors.
At Torkin Manes, response is key: we're there when our clients need us. There's a union organizer at your door? A complaint of harassment has been made against a senior executive? We walk you through the steps to take while we prepare your case. But we don't stop there: we help you draft policies and procedures to minimize your exposure. From prevention to litigation, Torkin Manes is with you all the way.
Whenever possible, we prefer to be proactive, thinking ahead on creative ways to prevent problems. With a new client, we review any existing employment contracts and collective agreements, checking for any possible issues in time to take preventive action. We record when collective agreements expire and whether the client has sound HR policies and procedures in place.
In a dispute, our general approach is to seek the resolution that is in the best interest of our client, avoiding lengthy, costly, and uncertain hearings wherever possible. Where this is not possible, we thoroughly prepare to represent our clients right through to trial and appeal.

Our Employment & Labour Law Group advises and represents employers in the full range of employment matters, from structuring employment contracts, agreements, and policies, to applications, complaints and other proceedings under both federal and provincial legislation. We also advise and represent employers in matters before the Ontario Courts, including wrongful dismissal and departing employee litigation.
We have special expertise in matters involving privacy of employee information. Our Group advises employers on the conduct of workplace investigations and will conduct investigations ourselves, should a third party investigation be advisable.
A significant portion of our practice includes advising employers on human rights issues related to hiring, disability, accommodation, discrimination, harassment, discipline and termination. We have extensive experience in dealing with all manner of alleged discrimination and/or harassment on the basis of all prohibited grounds, including (most commonly) disability, race, ethnicity, place of origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation and family status. We provide prompt advice on human rights issues that arise in the workplace, drafting policies, conducting investigations, and helping to determine appropriate remedies, which sometimes include discipline or termination. In addition to our significant experience in the investigation, mediation and adjudication of internal discrimination and harassment complaints, all of our lawyers regularly represent clients before the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal in defence of complaints of discrimination and/or harassment in the workplace.
Torkin Manes has significant experience advising and representing employers in all aspects of labour relations, more particularly set out below.
We are well known and respected by the major unions as being firm, but fair. We regularly negotiate with the Canadian Union of Public Employees, UNIFOR (formerly Canadian Auto Workers), the Christian Labour Association of Canada, the Ontario Nurses' Association, Service Employees International Union, United Food and Commercial Workers Canada, Canadian Union of Postal Workers, Ontario Public Service Employees Union, Public Service Alliance of Canada and United Steelworkers of Canada. They view us as resolution-oriented and pragmatic, while being respectful and collaborative.

A $3.5 million sales tax rebate authorized by Tinley Park has worked to attract a project that officials say is expected to generate a minimum of $70 million in annual sales.
Representatives from the proposed Super Kmart store on Tuesday accepted the rebate agreement, which would conclude in the year 2002. According to the agreement, the village has rights to tap the first $475,000 in annual sales tax revenue and will rebate $350,000. The village will keep the difference.

I frequently receive emails and questions from freelancers who want to take their business to the next level.
Should my business become an LLC? How will the taxes affect my business?
While the ins-and-outs of a limited liability company can be difficult to navigate — especially for first-time business owners — the question remains; should you convert your solopreneur business to an LLC?
Here are the most common misunderstandings about the LLC designation so you can make the best choice for your business.
The paperwork is easy to DIY
One of the most damaging myths about becoming an LLC is that it's easy, and can be accomplished on your own. However, despite all of the self-help resources available online, many potential pitfalls exist when trying to DIY.
And falling into any one of them can result in the rejection of an LLC application.
Additionally, failing to complete even one requirement, could mean your company is monetarily penalized or even have its rights and privileges suspended.
At the worst, neglecting any step in the LLC process can mean the complete termination of your business.
Lastly, if you don't know exactly what you're doing, your company could be formed incorrectly, which results in lots of future problems.
Other common mistakes made by business owners who choose to DIY include, failure to prepare agreements between shareholders, the omission of minutes for the organization, not authorizing enough shares or too many, and failing to file stock issuance notices.
Some states will allow income tax avoidance
Many business owners think that since other companies don't have to pay any income tax in a certain state that their business won't either. But this couldn't be further from the truth.
In fact, a company not only has to conduct its business in the state where it was formed, but a limited liability company must also have some sort of business presence in that state.
An LLC can be used as a tax entity
Another common misunderstanding is that an LLC is a seperate tax entity, but this is not the case. As far as the IRS is concerned, an LLC is dependent upon its number of members.
For example, if you are running a business of one (you're the only member) you'll have to follow the same taxation rules a sole-proprietor would. Yes, you can still be a sole-proprietor and run a limited liability corporation.
But if you have more than one member within the LLC business, it means you'll be taxed as a partnership.
LLCs are not as safe as corporations
Some business owners fear that forming an LLC will make them more vulnerable to liability than if they were to form a corporation. But looking at the differences between the two types of companies, it's clear this is not the case.
A limited liability company does just that — it limits the liability of all the owners of the company. A corporation's liability exists separately from the liability of the owners.
Only businesses can form LLCs
As previously mentioned, limited liability company's can be formed by businesses both large and small. There are no restrictions with regard to what size a company must be in order to obtain the LLC designation.
Filing an LLC will protect personal assets
Another common, yet incorrect assumption is that personal assets will be protected simply because you are named a member in their LLC.
But in reality any members of an LLC can be thought of as shareholders, and as such, they are not responsible for any debt the LLC may incur, nor are their personal assets covered.
Basically, the protection of personal assets and the debts an LLC may incur are two separate things.
An LLC can help avoid self-employment tax
While it is true that companies under the S-Corp designation aren't required to pay the self-employment tax on dividends they pay to company owners, S-corporation owners are required to pay themselves what the IRS calls a reasonable salary.
Naturally, self-employment tax does apply to this salary, which means filing under the S-Corp designation will not exemplify you from paying SE tax.
However, an LLC may be able to reduce the amount of self-employment tax you have to pay, if its profits surpass the amount the IRS deems to be a reasonable salary.
You can't open a second LLC
Business owners of a company can have more than one LLC at the same location. However, if you're planning to do this you must keep the liability for each company separate — basically, each company must be regarded as separate from any other.
This means that a bank account must be opened for each, as well as fees charged whenever equipment owned by one company is used for another.
Additionally, any financial transactions must be separated and any deposits to a particular LLC must be made to the account designated for that company.
LLCs can have numerous benefits, and it's important that you understand all the ins-and-outs before forming one for your small business.
Ensure that all potential pitfalls and requirements have been reviewed and completed so you can make the best decision for your future.

Vacation Rentals Need Property Management
Share on
photo credit: Skaneateles Suites
If you have a place that you only live in part of the year, you may want to consider renting it out the rest of the time. That way you can get some income to make your house payment, and you won't have your home just sitting empty. Even if you don't still owe on your home, renting it out for the extra money can be a great way to get cash that you don't need to work for. A word of caution, though, in that you want to be careful who you rent to. Some people are much more careless with other people's things, and you don't want them destroying your home. A great way to find good renters is to use a property management company.
Because of a tight economy, a lot of people who have vacation homes can't sell them, so they are renting them out. By getting a company to handle that for you, you don't have to worry about where you are or what you're doing. All you have to worry about is collecting the money that the property management company sends you and spending it however you like. Having a company manage your property isn't free, of course, but the cost of it is generally worth paying for, since you avoid all of the hassle of trying to manage the property yourself. It can be particularly difficult to manage property if you don't live nearby.
You can also have repairs scheduled and taken care of, and you can avoid the worries and problems that come with allowing a piece of property to sit empty and vacant while you're living somewhere else. There's too much chance of your vacation home being broken into and/or otherwise vandalized if you leave it empty for months and no one is around to check up on it.
