Sam Sewell thought about making the title of his book "Buy this book for your man and save his life". Not only do many men have little interest in their own health, they will actively avoid other people, usually the women in their lives, any time they attempt to call attention to the obvious. Sometimes men accuse the women who love them of nagging. Sewell was that way. His wife and daughters pointed out that his lifestyle was like committing suicide on an installment plan. He embraced the "alpha male" attitude: "If I hurt, I will just tough it out and conquer the problem with determination and power." His new "self" doesn't pretend to be Superman. Radical life style change saved his life. The research that has gone into this book includes scientific studies supporting the conclusion that changing how you live will cure you and protect you better than drugs or surgery. So, Sewell doesn't really expect men to buy this book. He urges... More > women to save men's lives and give them this book.< Less

Jun 5, 2009"Must Read" "Mr. Sewell, you have had a heart attack within the last 72 hours." Sam and Bunny Sewell are directors of Best Self USA, counseling and life skills training clinic in Naples, Florida. Their book, I Fired My Doctors and Saved My Life, is an amazing story of one man's desire to live and not accept the doctor's dictates as gospel. Live or die, he would not blindly follow instructions that were making him weaker each day. Armed with supportive friends and family, Sam set out to change the doctor's prognosis, "Your heart is severely damaged. You probably won't live until Thanksgiving if you don't have surgery. Your heart is too far gone for us to do the surgery here, so I am going to arrange for a heart surgeon…" Sam is a fighter. He still had much to do in his busy life as the director of a counseling and life skills training center. He was not going to let his dear wife, Bunny, drive home alone from the hospital after the surgeon's attempt to give him a new heart.... More > Sam and Bunny's book not only offers an interesting view into his own life and that of his family, it also provides a well referenced guide to better health without the dangerous side effects of prescription drugs. Sam does not offer advice to others. He wrote, "I only report what worked for me." He does not suggest that the readers should fire their doctors. Even though Sam did fire a few of his doctors, he praises the achievements modern medicine has made. However; the drug companies will take offense to Sam's well founded criticism, and doctors who have not considered the wealth of information concerning alternative solutions to patient care will be either enlightened or will ignore Sam and Bunny's book, preferring the traditional, "Take a pill. Next patient." The road Sam took was not an easy one. Even though he has been the director of a counseling and life skills training center for nearly 40 years, Sam was severely depressed. The drug he was taking had strong side effects on his body and mind. Sam does not blame others for his heart condition. He takes full responsibility for living like Superman, but his diet and lack of regular exercise was the Kryptonite that brought this big man down. Bunny wrote in a letter, "Sam's new mantra is 'Are YOU going to wait until your first heart attack to change your lifestyle?'" Sam's Total Life Saving Regimen reversed his heart disease without the high risk of a heart transplant, or by-pass surgery. The initial medical test showed Sam's heart had about 20 % efficiency but after 23 days on his Total Life Saving Regimen, his heart rose to 60 % efficiency. Additionally, his heart's inferior wall, which was reported dead, now showed 80% viability. There were other significant improvements in Sam's heart. He attributes much of these miraculous changes to his Total Life Saving Regimen. He also recognizes the other factors that contributed to his recovery: Lifestyle change, prayers, family and friend's encouragement and support. I Fired My Doctors and Saved My Life is well written and a must read for those of us who ignore our bodies until they fail us. Five stars for I Fired My Doctors and Saved My Life.

Sep 16, 2008"Read it from cover to cover in two days!" "I Fired My Doctors and Saved My Life" by Sam and Bunny Sewell is a thoughtful, balanced and clearly written documentation of Sam's severe heart attack, recovery and the development of his " Total Life Saving Regimen ". I believe what saved Sam's life was taking personal responsibility for his own care and treatment. His research is fascinating and well documented. Observations on the business of medicine coincide with what I have observed going on around me working in that arena for over forty years. Sam's clearly detailed analysis of traditional and alternative treatments provides priceless information to guide seekers of good health along the often confusing path to healing." Cynthia J. Piwowarczyk, BSN, RN, CMT
Dec 18, 2007"Don't Hesitate" A MUST READ!!!! Buy this book now and most importantly, when it arrives read it immediately, then pass on to a friend and order more for your other friends. If you don't learn something and grow and have a better lifestyle from reading this book, than you haven't cracked the binding... IT WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE!
Dec 17, 2007"I Fired my Doctors and Saved my Life Sam and Bunny Sewell. " As an ARNP (Nurse Practitioner) with more than a passing interest in the American Healthcare system, I highly recommend this work. Sam could have surrendered to the weighty and costly consequences of his diagnosis as presented by "expert opinion" (read Cardiology). Instead, Sam took ownership of the situation, and with the help of his family and friends, has turned his crisis into a great learning tool that is also a good read. L Brian Brown ARNP
Dec 16, 2007"This book can save your life" I am a licensed medical professional. Traditional western medicine has saved many lives. But it is up to you to read and be informed, think outside the box. Read this book and you will have a great advantage toward a healthy, happy life.

Ibutilide is an anti-arrhythmic heart medication that corrects certain conditions of irregular heart rhythm.
Ibutilide is used to help keep the heart beating normally in people with certain heart rhythm disorders of the atrium (the upper chambers of the heart that allow blood to flow into the heart). Ibutilide is used in people with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter.
Ibutilide may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Ibutilide can cause life-threatening irregular heart rhythms. Your heart rate will be constantly monitored using an electrocardiograph or ECG (sometimes called an EKG) so that any further problems can be treated quickly.
You should not receive this medication if you are allergic to ibutilide.
If possible, tell your doctor if you have taken a heart rhythm medication within the past 4 hours before receiving ibutilide.
To make sure ibutilide is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have congestive heart failure.
FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether ibutilide will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant.
It is not known whether ibutilide passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Tell your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
In an emergency situation it may not be possible to tell your caregivers about your health conditions, or if you are pregnant or breast feeding. Make sure any doctor caring for you afterward knows you have received this medicine.
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Tell your caregivers at once if you have:

Press Freedom Score (0 = best, 100 = worst)
Legal Environment(0 = best, 30 = worst)
Political Environment(0 = best, 40 = worst)
Economic Environment(0 = best, 30 = worst)
High-profile legal cases, restrictive laws, and censorship continued to constrain press freedom in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in 2011. While the constitution provides for freedom of speech and freedom of the press, the government uses its judicial and executive powers to limit those rights in practice. UAE Federal Law No. 15 of 1980 for Printed Matter and Publications regulates all aspects of the media and is considered one of the most restrictive press laws in the Arab world. It authorizes the state to censor both domestic and foreign publications prior to distribution, and prohibits criticism of the government, rulers and ruling families, and friendly foreign governments; infractions can result in fines and prison sentences. Journalists can also be prosecuted under the penal code.
In early 2009, the Federal National Council (FNC) adopted a draft "regulation of media activities" bill that would replace the 1980 press code, though it has not yet been passed into law. The proposed legislation would impose fines of more than $1 million for disparaging the head of state or his officials, and fines of several thousand dollars for publishing "misleading" articles "in a manner that harms the country's reputation, foreign relations or obligations or defaces its national identity," or that "harms the country's national economy." Expectation that the draft law will soon be enacted has prompted journalists to engage in even greater self-censorship and led to firings. The National Media Council (NMC), created in 2006, is responsible for licensing all publications and issuing press credentials to editors. Members of the council are all appointed by the president.
Defamation is a criminal offense. Mark Townsend, a freelance journalist and former business editor of the English-language Khaleej Times, was accused of criminal defamation in August 2009, and was unable to leave the UAE for nearly two years as the investigation proceeded. He was charged under Article 373 of the penal code for allegedly posting articles that criticized the Khaleej Times, in which the government holds a 30 percent stake, and faced a maximum sentence of two years in prison and a fine of up to 20,000 dirhams ($5,400). Townsend was ultimately acquitted in May 2011. In another major case in 2011, blogger Ahmed Mansoor and four other Emirati activists—Nasser bin Gaith, Fahad Salim Dalk, Hassan Ali al-Khamis, and Ahmed Abdul Khaleq—were arrested in April and charged in June under Articles 176 and 8 of the penal code for allegedly insulting the leaders of the UAE in posts made to the internet forum UAEHewar. In November, Mansoor received a three-year prison sentence, while the others received sentences of two years each. The trial was widely criticized by international human rights groups, which cited a lack of evidence and failure to adhere to proper court procedures. The day after their conviction, the five men were pardoned by the president and released.
Extreme forms of self-censorship are widely practiced, particularly regarding issues such as local politics, culture, religion, or any other subject the government deems politically or culturally sensitive. The Dubai Media Free Zone (DMFZ), an area in which foreign media outlets produce print and broadcast material intended for foreign audiences, is the only arena in which the press operates with relative freedom. It is now home to bureaus of important media outlets such as Cable News Network (CNN), the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), and Agence France-Presse. Broadcast media outlets based in the DMFZ are regulated by the Technology and Media Free Zone Authority, but they are also subject to the 1980 press law and the penal code. All free zones must obtain approval from the NMC before licensing any print or broadcast activities.
Although there were no reported physical attacks against journalists in 2011, reporters in the UAE suffered multiple forms of intimidation and harassment. The five activists arrested in April were the targets of an intense campaign of verbal threats online, in the media, and through demonstrations at their court hearings. The government did little to protect the men. Emirati journalists often face warnings and threats if they push the limits of permissible media coverage. However, noncitizen journalists account for the overwhelming majority of those working in the UAE, and they face harsher measures, including dismissal and deportation.
There are about a dozen newspapers printed in Arabic and English, as well as several radio stations and terrestrial television stations. Most media outlets are either government owned or have close government affiliations. The Arab Media Group and Dubai Media Incorporated operate as the Dubai government's media arm, publishing several newspapers and operating television and radio stations. Privately owned newspapers such as the Arabic daily Al-Khaleej and its sister paper, the English-language Gulf Today, are heavily influenced by the government. Almost all Arabic-language broadcast media that target the domestic audience are state owned and provide only the official view on local issues. However, satellite television service is widespread and provides uncensored access to international broadcasts.
Most major papers receive government subsidies and rely predominantly on the official Emirates News Agency (WAM) for content and guidance on whether or how to cover sensitive local news. Several publishers have opposed free dailies such as 7DAYS, arguing that they violate a legal provision requiring papers to print their price on the front page. In 2010, the editors of several papers adopted an initiative to expand the number of local citizens in the workplace, despite concerns that the process, known as Emiratization, was leading to arbitrary dismissal and insecurity among non-Emirati staff. According to one estimate, only about 10 percent of working journalists in 2010 were native Emiratis. The NMC-supported Journalist Association allocated 1 million dirhams ($270,000) for training and developing Emiratis' capacity in the field.
About 70 percent of the UAE population had regular access to the internet in 2011. The 2006 Information and Privacy Cybercrime Law criminalizes the use of the internet to commit a range of offenses—including violating political, social, and religious norms—and subjects perpetrators to prison terms and fines. There are two internet service providers, Etisalat and Du, both of which are owned and operated by state corporations. Online censorship is extensive, although the government claims it only censors pornographic sites. Both high-speed and dial-up users find themselves directed to a proxy server that maintains a list of banned websites and blocks material deemed inconsistent with the "religious, cultural, political, and moral values of the country." The OpenNet Initative has reported a marked increase in the number of political sites blocked since 2007 and categorizes social filtering as "pervasive." Websites that are considered indecent include those featuring pornography, dating or personal advertisements, and gay and lesbian content. Some websites based in Israel or covering religions other than Islam, notably the Baha'i faith, are also blocked.
Despite the restrictions, a majority of news consumers in Dubai rely on the internet, including blogs and news forums, to obtain information, according to the Dubai Press Club's report Arab Media Outlook 2009–2013. The country has an extremely high mobile-telephone penetration rate, making such devices one of the most popular ways to receive news content. The authorities have threatened to restrict use of the BlackBerry mobile device's encrypted e-mail and messaging services, which could ease government surveillance of journalists.

terms and conditions.
Car hire
Whenever possible MINI Emergency Service will attempt to provide you with a replacement vehicle from the repairing Authorised MINI Centre or MINI Service Authorised Workshop. If we are unable to do so then a vehicle will be sourced through one of the major vehicle rental companies. Under any circumstances you must be able to comply with their conditions of hire.
You will be responsible for any fuel costs incurred during the period of hire. Certain endorsements on your licence may prejudice your eligibility to hire a vehicle. Insurance requirements stipulate that you must have held a full UK driving licence for a minimum of 12 months.
Release fees
Should your vehicle be stolen and subsequently recovered by the police, you may be asked to pay a release fee before we can remove your vehicle to an Authorised MINI Centre or MINI Service Authorised Workshop or to your home address. Although we can arrange to guarantee these costs on your behalf, the payment of such fees is your responsibility.
Specialist charges
In the event that the use of specialist equipment is required to provide assistance when your vehicle has, for example, left the highway, is in a ditch, is standing on soft ground, sand, shingle, stuck in water or snow or has been immobilised by the removal of its wheels, we will arrange recovery but you will be responsible for the costs. The costs may be refundable under the terms of your motor insurance policy.
Adverse weather conditions
On those occasions when we experience adverse weather conditions, such as high winds, snow, floods, etc, external resources maybe stretched and some operations become physically impossible until the weather improves. At such times, our priority is to ensure that you and your passengers are taken to a place of safety and so the recovery of your vehicle may not be possible until weather conditions permit.
Punctures – Mobility System
Should you experience a puncture and your vehicle is equipped with a Mobility System, details regarding its operation can be found in your owner's handbook or on the device itself. Alternatively, we will be happy to explain how the system works to help you carry out a temporary repair and resume your journey.
Lock out/lost keys
Whilst we will always endeavour to provide assistance by the most practical method should you be unable to gain entry to your vehicle, modern security systems make it extremely difficult for this to be achieved should spare keys not be available. If a forced entry is required, you will be asked to sign a declaration stating that you have given permission for this to take place and that any costs for resultant damage will be your sole responsibility.
Incorrect Fuel
If your vehicle is immobilised as a result of refuelling with incorrect fuel, we will pay for the cost of recovering your vehicle to the nearest Authorised MINI Centre or MINI Service Authorised Workshop. The additional benefits detailed in this document will not be provided in the event of refuelling with incorrect fuel.
Validity – Continental European Cover only
This service is only available for travel not exceeding 91 days in any single trip.
Repatriation – Continental European Cover only
If your vehicle has to be repatriated from Europe, you should ensure that any items of value are removed. You will be asked to provide MINI Emergency Service with a signed inventory of any items left in your vehicle. Neither MINI Emergency Service nor its agents accept any liability for the subsequent loss of or damage to any items not declared on this inventory.
Autoroute Restrictions – Continental European Cover only
If assistance is required on a French autoroute, and certain autoroutes in some other European countries, you must use the official SOS boxes at the side of the road in order to arrange initial recovery. You will be connected to the authorised motorway assistance service because the roads are privatised and we are prevented from assisting on them. You should contact MINI Emergency Service at the earliest opportunity so that we can arrange for the most appropriate assistance once your vehicle has been recovered from the autoroute.
Costs incurred for recovery from the autoroute should be claimed back from MINI Emergency Service.
Exclusions relating to MINI Emergency Service.
We will not pay for:
• Any expenses incurred without the prior authorisation of MINI Emergency Service.
• Expenses which would normally have been payable by you, such as fuel and toll charges.
• The cost of replacement parts.
• Any costs resulting from participation in motor racing, rallies, speed or duration tests.
• Any costs resulting from your vehicle being kept in an unroadworthy condition or not being serviced in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. If, in the opinion of MINI Emergency Service, we believe that a recurring fault is due to poor maintenance of your vehicle, we reserve the right to request proof of servicing and to specify immediate recovery to an Authorised MINI Centre or MINI Service Authorised Workshop.
• Any costs as a result of your participation in a criminal act or offence.
• Any costs as a result of your being under the influence of intoxicating liquor, solvent abuse or drugs.
• Any claim resulting from participation in winter sports.
• Any expenses which could be recovered under a reciprocal agreement between the British or Republic of Ireland Government and any other Government.

Data Exclusivity Protects Innovators and Assures Investors
Biotechnology companies must have some certainty that they can protect their investment in the development of new breakthrough therapies for a substantial period of time. This protection helps companies secure much-needed venture capital funding, which is the lifeblood of the industry.
A failure to include substantial data exclusivity would undermine incentives to invest in biomedical innovation and thus would slow progress in the development of breakthrough therapies to improve the health and lives of patients suffering from currently untreatable conditions.
Thus, in order to preserve incentives for biomedical innovation, any statutory pathway for biosimilars must include a substantial period of data exclusivity. Such non-patent exclusivity is necessary to provide innovator biologics with effective protection from biosimilar manufacturers prematurely entering the market.
The 12-year period of data exclusivity authorized through the Affordable Care Act serves as an insurance policy that provides innovators with some certainty of protection. Data exclusivity would run concurrently with the patent term for the product. It therefore would create actual protection only in those instances where the biosimilar manufacturer would be able to work around the patents held by the innovator but still gain abbreviated approval of its biosimilar.
Data exclusivity of 12 years is an essential incentive for biotechnology investment. The majority of biotechnology companies are small, private start-ups, heavily reliant on venture capital investment. Yet these companies hold two-thirds of the industry's innovative clinical pipeline.
The similarity standard for biosimilars creates a "protection gap" that may allow for abbreviated regulatory approval while eluding an innovator's patents. That likelihood exists because of the confluence of two critical factors not present in Hatch-Waxman, which was designed to promote generics while leaving intact a financial incentive for research and development.
First, a biosimilar may be only "similar' to the corresponding innovator product, and thus the innovator's patents may not be infringed unlike a generic drug, which must be the same as an innovator product.
Second, because of the nature of biologic products – large molecules produced by living cells and organisms – patent protection is often narrower and easier to "design around" than that of small molecule drugs, and the trend is towards increasingly narrow patents.
Biologics research and development is a high-risk endeavor, with higher capital costs, higher material costs, greater manufacturing costs and uncertainties, longer development times, and lower late-stage success rates than compared to small molecule drugs.
Developing a biotechnology product is a lengthy and expensive endeavor. On average, it takes $1.2 billion over a period of more than a decade to bring a new biopharmaceutical to market.
This commitment is made with absolutely no guarantees of success. Indeed, the vast majority of biotech R&D projects fail. No company can afford to take such risks if its investment in ultimately successful products cannot be protected as it struggles through the arduous product development process.
It is important to preserve incentives necessary to attract the investment that is essential to conduct expensive clinical trials on unique new products and those which are significant improvements over previous medicines. Next generation products can be of enormous value to patients because new discoveries can make existing medications safer or more effective through changes to the structure of a molecule.
When significant changes are made to the original medication, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers it an entirely new product and requires the manufacturer to conduct new clinical trials and submit a new drug application for approval. Patient advocacy organizations and medical specialty groups recognize the importance of providing incentives for manufacturers to conduct clinical trials and seek separate approval by the FDA for next generation products.
If we preserve our traditional foundations of innovation and maintain data exclusivity protection, the industry will continue to deliver on its promise to heal, fuel and feed the world.

Olfactory hallucinations or phantosmia are hallucinations which occur where a person experiences a smell without the appropriate stimulus molecules being present. The most common odors experienced are unpleasant smells such as rotting flesh, vomit, urine, feces, smoke, etc.
A number of factors may give rise to the phenomenon. They often results from damage to the nervous tissue in the olfactory system. The damage can be caused by viral infection, brain tumor, trauma, surgery, and possibly exposure to toxins or drugs.[1] Phantosmia can also be induced by epilepsy affecting the olfactory cortex and is also thought to possibly have psychiatric origins.[How to reference and link to summary or text] Phantosmia is different from parosmia, in which a smell is actually present, but perceived differently from its usual smell.

Prior to the 2008 season, the Red Sox expanded the State Street Pavilion Level. The improvements created the Coca-Cola Corner and replaced the temporary suites installed for the 1999 All-Star Game with updated versions. Thanks in part to Dustin Pedroia's 2008 MVP season, the Red Sox made the playoffs for the fifth time in sixth years but fell to the Tampa Bay Rays in the ALCS. Fenway Park hosted a string of different events in 2008, including the first naturalization ceremony in the ballpark's history and a concert by Neil Diamond, whose song "Sweet Caroline" is played during the 8th inning of every Red Sox home game.
Record: 95-67, 2nd in American League East (Wild Card)
Manager: Terry J. Francona
Attendance: 3,048,248
Postseason: Won American League Division Series
The 2008 Red Sox season started in Japan, where the team played Oakland twice then flew back to the states to play an exhibition against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the LA Coliseum. Daisuke Matsuzaka started both the season opener in Tokyo and the Fenway Park home opener, which he won by a 5-0 margin on his way to an 18-3 season.
On May 19, Jon Lester threw a no-hitter against Kansas City at Fenway Park, the second in two years by a Red Sox pitcher after Clay Buchholz accomplished the feat in 2007. Jason Varitek, who also caught Buchholz, became the only catcher in baseball history to catch four no-hitters.
The Red Sox stayed at the top of the division for most of the year but the early months weren't without controversy. After a turbulent first half that included confrontations in the clubhouse and dugout, Manny Ramirez was sent to the Dodgers in a trade deadline deal that brought Jason Bay to Boston from the Pirates.
A year after being named the AL Rookie of the Year, Dustin Pedroia won the AL MVP with a .326 batting average, while Kevin Youkilis, the team leader in home runs (29) and RBIs (115), placed third in the voting.
Boston and Tampa Bay vied for the AL East throughout the summer but the Rays pulled ahead in the season's final few weeks. Boston won the Wild Card and for the third time in four years, the Red Sox bounced the Angels in the ALDS and set up an ALCS tilt with Tampa.
It seemed like a reprise of the 2007 ALCS as the Red Sox fell behind 3-1 in the series before winning Games Five and Six. But in Game Seven, Rays' starter Matt Garza surrendered just one run and young lefty David Price closed the door on a 3-1 Tampa victory. The Red Sox came close but the chance to play in consecutive World Series for the first time since 1915 and 1916 was not meant to be.
In 2008, the club repaired and waterproofed the concrete seating bowl in the bleachers and replaced all of the bleacher seats. At the same time, the area under the bleachers that was previously used as a batting cage was gutted and remodeled as a restaurant and bar, which opened in 2008 as The Bleacher Bar featuring a window into Fenway Park.
In addition to replacing the bleacher seats, the team continued work on the State Street Pavilion Level by adding more than 800 seats, which increased Fenway Park's seating capacity to 37,400. Most of the new seats were installed on the third-base side of the pavilion level, 412 of which were unveiled as the family-friendly Coca-Cola Corner. The seating area featured a new Coca-Cola sign, which was inspired by the historic sign that used to exist off Storrow Drive in Brighton, MA, and the three 25-foot high Coke bottles that had hung on the left-field light tower since 1997 were taken down. At the top of the pavilion level, eight new private suites, available on a single-game basis, replaced the six that were housed in the temporary boxes built for the 1999 All-Star Game and 12 more privates suites on the EMC Level below were renovated in the same fashion as the 26 that were redone the year before.
To improve circulation, a new staircase was built from the concourse near Gate A to the top of the grandstand behind third base and a new elevator was installed in left-field area to serve all levels of the ballpark. In addition, four new LED scoreboards were installed on the EMC Level façade in right and left-field to provide more detailed game information and on September 28, 2008, the façade of the right field roof got its own addition when Johnny Pesky's #6 was officially retired.
After the University of Massachusetts won the 2008 Baseball Beanpot at Fenway Park in April, the third annual Futures at Fenway took place On August 9. That day, Red Sox affiliates Lowell and Pawtucket both won and with their victories, Red Sox minor league teams improved to 6-0 in Futures at Fenway games.

*Starting in 1990, Fenway Park has hosted the annual Baseball Beanpot, baseball's version of the longstanding Boston hockey tradition. Originally, the competition featured the same schools that battle for Hockey Beanpot: Boston College, Boston University, Northeastern University and Harvard University. However, when BU dropped their baseball program after the 1995 season, the University of Massachusetts took their place. The Baseball Beanpot has been held at Fenway Park every year since its inception except for in 2004 and 2010, when the tournament was played at Campanelli Stadium in Brockton, MA.
Three recent traditions kicked off Fenway Park's non-baseball events calendar in 2008, with walks on Mother's Day and Father's Day, as well as the Red Sox Foundation's Picnic in the Park on June 22. In late August, Fenway Park hosted a concert by Neil Diamond, whose song "Sweet Caroline" has become a sing-along tradition at the ballpark during the 8th inning of every Red Sox home game. The following month, Fenway Park held its first naturalization ceremony and more than 3,000 new citizens were sworn in.

* IKEA Germany sees 2013/14 online sales of 150 mln euros
* Hopes for full range online by end of 2014
* Sees space for another 20 stores in Germany
By Emma Thomasson
BERLIN, Nov 20 (Reuters) - The Germany head of IKEA Group , the world's biggest furniture retailer, eventually expects 10 percent of sales to come from e-commerce, although the Swedish firm is still investing heavily in physical stores.
"A long-term share of turnover of 10 percent is realistic," Peter Betzel told the German retail congress on Wednesday.
IKEA Germany saw online sales grow almost 27 percent to 92 million euros ($124 million) in the financial year that ended on Aug. 31, but that was still just 2 percent of total sales of 3.99 billion.
Betzel said he expected online sales of 150 million euros in the 2013/14 financial year, adding he hoped the full IKEA range would be available to buy on its website by the end of 2014 as logistics challenges are solved.
IKEA has been slow to embrace e-commerce given its focus on a shopping experience that combines maze-like showrooms with cafes and play areas, driving incidental purchases of high-margin accessories.
The IKEA Group, which owns most of the 345 IKEA stores worldwide, only sells online in half of its 26 markets, charges for most deliveries and does not offer the full range, but is now speeding up its expansion in e-commerce.
Dedicated e-commerce players are also investing in the lucrative German home furnishings market, including mail order giant Otto and start-up Home24 whose founders, the German Samwer brothers, are reported to have pledged to "take down" IKEA.
Research firm Euromonitor forecasts global e-commerce sales of home furnishings will grow almost 10 percent a year to $24 billion by 2015 from $20 billion in 2013. Growth is even faster in Germany, up 58 percent to 1.23 billion euros in 2012, according to the BVH e-commerce association.
However, IKEA remains committed to expanding its physical footprint in Germany, with two new stores due to be opened in 2014 and three more already in planning elsewhere.
"Because stores remain most important, we want to grow," Betzel said. "We believe we have space for another 20 just in Germany."
IKEA Group hopes to double sales to around 50 billion euros by 2020 through around 5 percent annual sales growth in existing stores, and another 5 percent through new store openings. It more than doubled sales in the last 10 years to 27.6 billion euros in 2011/12.

Dear Miles,
Happy second birthday, Baby Boy! I know that you haven't been in our family long, so you may not know that on your birthday every year, you get a letter from Mommy about how special you are and all the things you've done throughout the year. You've been here with us since February, and in that time, you've learned so much. When you got here as a 2 year old, you only weighed 12 pounds. You are chubbing up and now weigh 20 pounds!
You can run, kick a ball, and throw a wicked fast ball. You can say lots of words, but right now you'd still rather communicate in grunts. You can say Mommy, Daddy, Noah, ball, eat, shoes, nose, no, dog, go, Papaw, GranMary and parrot most anything you hear. You are so very smart!
You love to eat. There is not a food we've tried to give you that you didn't like. Some of your favorites are beans (any variety), rolls, donuts, goldfish crackers, watermelon, blackberries, and pasta salad.
You sleep all night in your pack and play. You still won't get near the crib. You love hot weather. Your little lips quiver and your teeth chatter if it is anywhere below 100 degrees outside. I think the Congolese heat spoiled you! You are a water baby. You love to swim and play in the pool and in the creek. You love to watch Daddy cut the grass- it fascinates you! You are not much for toys, mostly you like to just run around the house like a wild man, spinning in circles and opening cabinet doors. Every now and then you will push a car around for a while, though. You won't sit still long enough for a book, but you do love songs- especially ones with hand movements. And boy- you can flat out dance!
Sweet boy- there is so much about you that still remains a mystery to me. I know that there is a lot going on in your head. I wish I could just get in your brain for a day! Miles, the very fact that we had to make up a birthday for you breaks my heart. The more that we piece together of your story, the tighter I want to cling to you. I know that you have experienced so much loss and so much pain in your short life. Darling, if I had known that you were out there waiting for me, I would have come for you sooner. But I promise you, we will do whatever we can to help your years from here on out, to be happy ones. I know that the next year hold so much potential for you. We are so happy that you are here. You complete us in ways we never though possible. You are so very loved by so many. So happy, happy birthday sweet Miles. May the next year be full of promise and possibility.
I Love You,

I know the possibility of my skin flaring is quite real as I contemplate changing medications. What perplexes me is how to avoid having my psoriasis worsen while giving my kidneys a break from Neoral therapy (cyclosporine). Even better, is there a therapy I haven't tried yet that could improve my condition without adding any harmful or uncomfortable side effects? I told my dermatologist I would think about what I wanted to do next. Unfortunately, I don't have any answers yet.
A basic assumption I work under is that the goal of therapy is psoriasis-free skin. When I look at the results of clinical trials, for example, I don't care too much about those who improved by 50%. I pay more attention to those who improved 75%, 90%, or cleared. Without a doubt I want to be one of those who improve dramatically. I want to clear and stay clear. But is that a proper goal to have?
From an emotional level I long to have that clear skin. If I have that clearing, then maybe I can believe that the psoriasis isn't even there. At least I can live in that fantasy for a few weeks or months until the psoriasis inevitably returns. While I haven't achieved clearing much in over the years, I come near to realizing that dream with Enbrel and Neoral. I don't enjoy being shaken back into reality, that's for sure. The grim reality is that I need to accept my condition may get much worse for a time no matter what I switch to. In other words, the goal of relatively clear skin must be superseded by a higher goal: to balance the need for relief from psoriasis symptoms with allowing my body to rest from harmful medication side effects.
I'm not entirely certain I am mentally prepared to accept this higher goal for my health. I want to forestall the greater discomfort and anxiety more sores and flaking will bring. But at any cost? What good is it if my kidneys sustain damage for the sake of having relatively clear skin? I still don't know what to do next, but my options open up a bit if I'm willing to suffer. I think I will be willing to if there is a higher purpose to it, but I Just need a little more time to come to that place of acceptance.

The Birmingham News reports that an Alabama civil court trial, set to begin on Jan. 7 (also and far more widely known as the day of the BCS championship game between Alabama and Notre Dame) has been postponed because one of the lawyers really, really likes Alabama football. An Alabama football fan in Alabama? No way.
His attendance at the game had looked doubtful earlier today. A judge had denied his first attempt earlier this month to have the trial delayed.
[Marcus] Jones has been a self-described "fanatic" of University of Alabama football since his father took him to football games in the early 1960s as a young boy. He said he still has a beer can Joe Namath drank from at a bar the night it was announced the star Alabama quarterback would be joining the Jets.
"We're just die hard Alabama fans," he said of his family.
So when he was finally assured that his University of Alabama football team would be going to the BCS National Championship game on Jan. 7, he bought tickets and had one major obstacle to overcome. He needed to get a civil court trial rescheduled that was set to begin the day of the game.
Jones wrote in his original motion that he has long held "a strong belief that football in Alabama is special" and waited so long to ask for a continuance "due to superstition and the uncertainty of how the season would play out."
The craziest part (besides the Joe Namath beer can thing): The judge, who has delayed trials twice before for Auburn and Alabama fan-lawyers, originally denied the motion because he thought the case would settle—early and irrespective of its natural progression—if he kept the start on Jan. 7. He thought a professional lawyer would hasten to settle regardless of the potential damage to his client if the case threatened to make it impossible for the lawyer to attend a football game. He didn't—but the judge thought the odds were good!
The same judge granted a continuance to an Auburn fan-lawyer in 2010 by reading out an order set to The Night Before Christmas, because, sure. If you ever sue anyone in Alabama, remember not to schedule your day in court when there's something happening related to college football, which, in Alabama, is always.
Update: Reader Mike—proud ND alum!—points out that a judge in South Bend did essentially the same thing, with an equally loony justification. College football: Creating holes in court dockets beyond just the SEC.

A man attacked a used car dealership in England with an axe and a knife this week, after it sold him a car that he no longer found satisfactory, ten years ago. Because that makes a lot of sense.
Somehow, I think this beats the Chinese guy with a sledgehammer. But not in the logic department.
James Hyett, of Saffron Walden (which is just north of Bishop's Stortford, also apparently a real place), went absolutely nuts on Henlow Car Sales after declaring that the Porsche it sold him a decade ago was "no good," according to the BBC.
He used the aforementioned axe and knife to smash an office window inside the dealership and a the back window of a BMW parked just inside.
Mr. Hyett then crossed the street to a restaurant, where he slashed a tire belonging to an innocent Land Rover in the parking lot:
When chased by a restaurant worker, he stopped and, with the axe in one hand and the knife in the other, said: "Come on then."
He was apparently arraigned in court quite quickly after being arrested, where he was sentenced to to a bit of community service, along with a "mental health treatment requirement."
In a totally unrelated story, Mr. Hyett was previously arrested for leaving a severed deer's head on top of a grocery store cash register.

The tote bag can be folded up and kept inside the zip pouch, which makes it ideal for travels. The mook is pricey, costing a few dollars more than the Marc by Marc Jacobs mook but I still find it worthwhile as Cath Kidston is not retailed in Singapore. Plus I liked the polka dot and rose print, which is one of the very first Cath Kidston prints dating back to the founding of the brand.
The interior of the bag is plain with no pockets, just a tab button to hold the top of the bag together.
Some pages from the accompanying magazine. There are currently four Cath Kidston standalone stores in Japan, two in Tokyo (Daikanyama and Marunouchi), and one each in Nagoya and Osaka.
The Jill Stuart 5th Anniversary (with the vanity pouch & mirror) and Uniqlo mooks are also in stock so if you want those, I wouldn't wait too long.

LEICESTER, Mass. – Eleven was the magic number for the MIT baseball team today as the Engineers scored 11 runs in each game of a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference doubleheader against WPI this afternoon. MIT had a five-run inning in game one and an eight-run frame in the second game that were keys to 11-3 and 11-5 victories that completed the three-game series sweep for the Engineers. Junior Creed Mangrum (Sandy, Utah) drove in three runs in each game, combining to go 5-for-9 with a double and home run.
WPI (9-18, 4-10 NEWMAC) scored first in game one, as freshman Vinny D'Ambrosio (Mahopac, N.Y.) led off the bottom of the first with a walk, stole second and then went to third on a wild pitch. With two outs freshman D.J. Ouellette (Watertown, Conn.) delivered the run with a single to right to give the Engineers an early lead.
MIT (14-3, 10-1 NEWMAC) broke through in the third when Mangrum delivered a two-out, two-run single that put the Engineers up 2-1. MIT then opened things up with five runs in the fourth to take control. Starting with senior Ricardo Perez (Vienna, Va.), who led off the inning with a triple, the first four MIT hitters in the inning collected hits. Freshman Nate Rodman (Corvallis, Ore.) and sophomore Karl Sorensen (Blacksburg, Va.) had RBI singles that made it 4-1 before junior Jon Rea (Palo Alto, Calif.) brought in the third run with a squeeze bunt. Another run came in on a WPI error and Mangrum completed the uprising with an RBI single that made it 7-1.
MIT starter, junior Kiel Jindra (Oceanside, Calif.), held WPI in check for most of his five innings on the mound. After giving up the first inning run, he surrendered just three more hits and two unearned runs and finished with nine strikeouts to improve to 2-0 on the season. Junior Brandon Lowe (Brier, Wash.) finished things off for MIT with two innings of two-hit relief. Freshman Mark Bentsen (Brewster, N.Y.) started and took the loss for WPI, going four innings and giving up nine hits and seven runs, five earned, while striking out three.
WPI closed to 7-3 with a pair of runs in its half of the fourth on a passed ball and a bases loaded walk, but MIT came back with two in the fifth and two in the seventh to clinch it, including a solo home run by Rodman in the seventh.
In game two MIT scored first in the second on a fielder's choice by junior Patrick Dayton (Archer City, Texas). Sophomore K.J. Parent (Knoxville, Tenn.) started for MIT and did not give up a hit until the third when WPI struck for a pair to claim the lead. Junior Sean Kelly (Shrewsbury, Mass.) led off the frame with a triple and then scored on a one-out RBI single by freshman Cody Holmes (Plymouth, Mass.), who then moved to second on a ground out. With two away freshman Anthony Capuano (Stoneham, Mass.) singled to right to score Holmes and put the Engineers on top.
MIT took the lead right back with two in the fourth, getting an RBI single by junior Parker Tew (Chapel Hill, N.C.) and a sac fly by Rea. In the fifth the third lead change of the contest occurred as WPI struck for three runs. The Engineers loaded the bases on a single and a pair of two-out walks for freshman Alex Venditti (Newton, Mass.), who singled home a pair to put WPI back on top, 4-3. Ouellette then singled in another to give the Engineers a two-run lead.
Sophomore Taylor Landry (Kennebunk, Maine), the WPI starter, settled down after the fourth and gave up just one hit over the next three innings. In the eighth, however, he saw the first six hitters reach against him, hitting three of those. Perez and Rodman delivered RBI singles to tie the game before Dayton was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to break the tie. With the bases still loaded senior James McKinney (Wakefield, R.I.) brought two home with a single to chase Landry. Mangrum then delivered the big hit, a three-run home run, which clinched it for MIT.
Senior Aric Dama (Winfield, Ill.) came out of the bullpen to pick up the win, throwing a perfect 2.1 innings in which he struck out five of the seven hitters he faced. Landry took the loss, giving up 10 runs on 10 hits over 7.2 innings.
Mangrum finished with a combined line of 5-for-9 with six RBI and three runs scored to lead MIT. Rodman also had a 5-for-9 day, scoring six times and driving in three. Kelly went a combined 3-for-8 and scored three times for WPI, with Capuano, Venditti and Ouellette all driving in a pair for the Engineers.
Next up for MIT will be a completion of its NEWMAC series with Babson, with the Engineers hosting the Beavers on April 9 at 3:30 p.m. at Briggs Field. WPI will also be completing a NEWMAC series, as it travels to Wheaton on Tuesday for a 3:30 p.m. tilt.

It causes disease by attacking a person's immune system. It can inflame joints making them swell and attack the kidneys, heart, lungs and liver, leading to pain, dysfunction, and sometimes permanent damage to healthy tissues. Approximately one and a half to two million Americans suffer from this potentially fatal autoimmune disease, and 90% of those are women. Most women are stricken during their childbearing years. Most people develop their lupus between the ages of 15 and 45. Asians, African-Americans and Latina women are 2-4 times more likely to have lupus. Our Providers Jennifer Anolik, M.D., Ph.D. R.

I THINK SO. I mean, I can't be sure. But he definitely said something about a cheeseburger and "finding someone special." Sooooo…I can read between the lines, Biden!!!
Joe Biden, my grampa-boyfriend, read the Top Ten List on Letterman last night and it was-predictably-HELLA DREAMY. Classic grampa-boyfriend! Here's a selection:
No. 10: "I'm not saying each voter gets a free cheeseburger, but I'm not saying they don't either."
No. 6: "If you vote early, you don't have to pay taxes…I'm sorry, I'm being told that's not accurate."
No. 5: "Single and looking to mingle? Find that special someone on the early voting line."
No. 2: "Early voters will receive a $5 million donation from Donald Trump."
And the No. 1 reason…
"Honestly, don't you want this election over with already?"
Depends. Will you still be on my TV being hilarious?

I haven't bought anything since Saturday, but not because of the lack of trying. I'm still in need of a few items. But my question is, are they even re-stocking? The stores I've hit haven't seemed to restock since Saturday morning.

IUCN Thailand has been working for three years to achieve national recognition of the endemic and threatened water lily crinum thaianum. Now, the tireless efforts of the team, led by Thailand Programme Manager Somsak Soonthornnawaphat, have paid off. The species has gone from oblivion to national recognition as among the 10 most rare and endangered plants and animals in Thailand that need protection and funding.
The Office of Natural Resources and Environmental Policy and Planning (ONEP) recognized the species as an endangered plant that needs better protection. ONEP declared that the water lily's extinction can only be prevented by protecting both the species and its habitat.
In the last decade, commercial collection of the water lily for aquariums has caused a sharp decline in population and habitat range. In 2009, an even more serious threat to survival emerged - provincial authorities commenced mass scale river dredging, changing the flow patterns in many rivers with disastrous consequences for the water lily. "Dredging is one of the main threats to the water lily" confirms Somsak Soonthornnawaphat.
ONEP therefore brought the situation of the water lily into discussion at the National Biodiversity Committee and the National Wetlands Committee. Both committees agreed to encourage local authorities and government organizations to stop canal dredging in two of the provinces where the water lily is still found. The committees recommended declaring all rivers where the water lily can still be found as Environmental Protection Areas. ONEP is now processing the case as suggested by the committees.
Furthermore, the Department of Agriculture will urge the Ministry of Commerce to prohibit the export of the endangered species.
IUCN Thailand is currently processing a request to include the water lily in IUCN's Red List at the global level.

CAPE TOWN: After more than 30 years into the HIV/AIDS pandemic, a vaccine remains elusive—and much needed. Globally, about 35 million people are living with HIV, according to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS or UNAIDS. Sub-Saharan Africa is home to two-thirds of all people living with HIV/AIDS and the main driver is unprotected heterosexual sex. The only HIV-vaccine clinical trial that has shown potential so far is the United States' and Thai military's vaccine, RV144, the results of which were announced in 2009.
The first in a series of trials designed to build on the success of RV144 has now passed a key test in South Africa. More on the science and development of this research in my latest report for The Atlantic "A Promising HIV Vaccine in South Africa." This is the first article in my global health media fellowship to South Africa.
The first in a series of trials designed to build on the success of RV144 has now passed a key test in South Africa. A safety trial using the same vaccine regimen from RV 144—but with an added booster shot 12 months afterward—has has shown to be safe for South Africans and demonstrated "robust" immune responses. A successful safety trial was necessary to move forward with extensive clinical research. The research was first presented in late October by South African scientists in Cape Town. Clinical trials of a modified vaccine tailored to Southern Africa will begin in early 2015.
Southern Africa desperately needs such a vaccine. Sub-Saharan Africa is home to two-thirds of all people living with HIV/AIDS and the main driver is unprotected heterosexual sex, according to the Joint United-Nations Program on HIV/AIDS, or UNAIDS. South Africa has the unfortunate distinction of claiming the world's highest HIV/AIDS burden, with an estimated 6.3 million people living with HIV/AIDS. New infections, called seroconversions, are increasing at about 370,000 per year in that region. That's about 1,000 new infections every day. About 20 percent of South African adults—that's one in five people—are living with the virus, reports UNAIDS. Young women are twice as likely to be infected as young men.
Read the full report HERE.
HIV R4P 2014 Cape Town was the world's first and only scientific meeting dedicated exclusively to biomedical HIV prevention research.
HIVR4P and the international media fellowship were sponsored by an international consortium that has pooled resources to "speed the development of a safe and effective HIV vaccine." The consortium includes the USA, Thailand and South African governments, the European Union, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, UNAIDS, World Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Controls and Prevention, GlaxoSmithKline, the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative, Merck, Novartis, USAID, Sanofi Pasteur, the largest company in the world devoted to vaccine development.

SEC's Hunt for Crisis-Era Wrongdoing Loses Steam
Hedge Fund Magnetar Won't Face Charges Tied to Mortgages
Securities and Exchange Commission enforcement officials have decided not to recommend filing civil charges against hedge-fund firm Magnetar Capital LLC, which teamed up with Wall Street firms to create mortgage securities that suffered billions of dollars in losses during the financial crisis, according to people familiar with the situation.
The decision is a sign the SEC's investigations into whether companies or individuals broke the law with their conduct ahead of the crisis are running out of gas. Despite last week's courtroom...

I know this is a departure from my usual posts about kids, parenting and domestic dramas. But this is a topic that's been burning in my head for a long time and I have to get it out, put words to "paper", have my say. Bear with me, please. Or don't – as this is about to get political and if you don't want to get into this here on my blog, then I understand.
This week marks my 14th year living in America. This still amazes me as I really only intended to stay one year. But here I am, happily married, two beautiful kids, lovely home, great job … All the goodness of life in the US of A. I do not take any of this for granted, not for a nanosecond.
It often surprises people when they discover I'm not actually a US citizen: I'm still a legal alien. I have long qualified for citizenship and, in doing so, would not have to give up my British citizenship. I've been advised by attorneys that I should get my citizenship, if only to make things easier on my husband, should I pop my clogs before him. It's always been there, hanging on my life to-do list, along with other things like getting my kids their British passports, which I really must do one of these days.
But something has always stopped me from applying for US citizenship. At first it was something intangible. Like, it would seal my fate, trap me here forever. Which I know is ridiculous but I like to keep my options open. The world is a big place. I long to live again in France. Maybe elsewhere, who knows? Also, there was the reality of becoming a citizen of a country led by George W Bush. I didn't like his politics and couldn't bring myself to do it.
And then Obama came along full of promise. I felt optimistic. Maybe, with him running the show, I would feel more at ease with – even proud – to become a US citizen. I firmly put it on my 2013 new year's resolutions.
But then Sandy Hook happened. And my world was forever changed. How could such a thing be allowed to happen in this civilized society? How? I watched with hope and admiration as President Obama passionately put preventing gun violence at the top of his agenda:
While no law or set of laws will end gun violence, it is clear that the American people want action. If even one child's life can be saved, then we need to act. Now is the time to do the right thing for our children, our communities, and the country we love," he said.
I followed closely as Senators Manchin and Toomey spearheaded the first concrete bill to enforce criminal and mental health background checks for guns purchased at gun shows and online. This is commonsense, no? And then, my heart sunk as the bill failed in the Senate, to the cries of "shame on you" in their chambers. This, despite that fact that almost 90% of Americans supported it.
And what has happened since? School shooting after school shooting. Mall shooting after mall shooting. Accidental deaths of children who somehow get their hands on ill-stored or illegally acquired guns. And all because of the power and money and influence of the NRA-led gun lobby? Tell me, our politicians, how can you sleep at night while all around the country, parents weep?
It's appalling. I cannot wrap my head around this. Sadly, my faith in Obama 's ability to achieve even the smallest step towards gun reform during his final term is waning. Still, I actively support the groups that lobby and advocate for reform and gun sense, such as Moms Demand Action which provides great tools for contacting your local government representatives. Day in day out they use their voices to bring attention to the issues and lobby so that we don't become desensitized as a nation to these seemingly-daily tragedies.
To those who own guns legally and responsibly, that's cool with me, if it makes you feel safe and satisfied with your constitutional rights. Just please – please – keep them properly locked up so your kids – and their friends – don't find and "play" with them or they find their way into the hands of those with mental health issues or criminal intentions.
I know, if I were a US citizen, that my voice, my vote would contribute. After all, they say one vote makes a difference. Oh how I wish that were true. But sadly, I think this is not the case. I love this country. This is my home. It is also the homeland of my children, their heritage, their identity. But, until the safety of all of our kids becomes a higher priority than the interests of the gun lobby, I just can't fully adopt it as my own.

Primitive campsites are perhaps the best way to appreciate the outdoors — unless, of course, your RV isn't fitted with an onboard AC generator to power all the things we just can't leave behind. The new EU3000i Handi from Honda Power Equipment provides 3kW of portable power — in a package 45% lighter than the company's EU3000i. Weighing in at just 77.6 pounds, the Handi features built-in wheels, two fixed handles and a folding handle to allow it to be pulled by a single person. The GX160 four-cycle engine also is said to produce a quiet 56-65 dB of sound while in operation. Featuring Eco-Throttle technology and a high-efficiency inverter, the Handi can operate for more than four hours on one tank of fuel.

Programs for Teachers
Newberry Teachers' Consortium
The image of Chicago has been created through many genres and media: poetry, fiction, drama, film. But what all of these representations of the city have in common is a source, Chicago journalism. Beyond this, however, many Chicago journalists have themselves written work for Chicago newspapers which transcend the limitations of the deadline-driven prose daily papers require. In this seminar, we will read three of Chicago's literary journalists– Finley Peter Dunne, Ben Hecht, and Mike Royko–to examine their contribution to Chicago literature.
Seminar led by Bill Savage, Northwestern University
